Chapter 324: 216 Beating Up Your Aunt, Wanwan Gets Framed (2nd Update)_2

"That’s going to be troublesome," Jiang Chengsi was utterly unapologetic.

"I’ll help you." Shen Shuci also followed into the kitchen, and when the two of them were close, Tang Wan lowered her voice, "What exactly happened between you and Fourth Brother?"

"Dressed too much, all tied up; if there’s a next time, I might not lose to him," Shen Shuci rarely swallowed her pride, "and he even took advantage when my clothes were ruined, preying on the vulnerable, knew I was a woman, and still didn’t hold back..."

"Do you wish he had treated you differently because you’re a woman?" Tang Wan felt she was confused with anger.

"Of course not!" Shen Shuci’s head ached, "How could the Jiang Family have such a person?"

Although she had never met anyone else, the outside world’s opinion wasn’t like this at all.

"I don’t know either," Tang Wan shrugged her shoulders.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengsi was sitting on the sofa, sending messages in the group chat.

[@Jiang Xiaowu, haven’t had dinner yet? When will you come back, I’m at your house.]

Jiang Jinsang: [Why are you at my house?]

[Of course, I knew the little sister was leaving; I won’t be able to get up early in the morning, so I came early to see her off.]

[I guess it will take about an hour more.] Family and friends gathering, drinking and chatting, it wouldn’t end within an hour or two.

Qi Zeyan: [The little sister is leaving, huh? Then, I won’t be able to send her off. Tell her Happy New Year for me, and have a smooth journey.]

Jiang Chengsi: [Oh right, your future auntie has arrived.]

Jiang Jinsang, holding his phone, tightened his fingers faintly, [Shen Shuci?] noveldrama

[Yes, and...]

Someone deliberately played coy, waiting several minutes before sending a message.

[I fought your future auntie!]

The entire group went dead silent, even Qi Zeyan, who had just perked up, was baffled.

He fought his auntie?

That’s a woman!

Qi Zeyan: [Holy shit, Jiang Chengsi, you sure do have some guts, not even sparing a woman?]

[It’s either I hit her, or she would have demolished me. Xiaowu’s auntie, when she gets tough, she’s no less than a man, extremely powerful, definitely not easy to deal with.]

For Jiang Chengsi to admit someone was formidable, that person certainly had to be strong; the others then thought of Jiang Jinsang’s physique...

Jiang Chengsi: [Jiang Xiaowu, as your brother, I warn you kindly, don’t offend this person; with your build, she could really take you down.]

Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly: [I know, I’ve already seen it.]

Previously in Pingjiang, at the gate of the Tang Family, she had dealt with Zhang Defu, and he remembered her fierceness till now.

Suddenly Qi Zeyan got excited: [Does she look good? If you married her, wouldn’t I be addressed as "Uncle" by Jiang Xiaowu?]

Jiang Jinsang frowned, such shameless words could actually be uttered.

Before he could send a message, Jiang Chengsi had already sent one: [She might not like your type of sleazy man. And besides, you couldn’t handle her.]

Qi Zeyan exploded instantly: [Jiang Chengsi, make yourself clear, what do you mean by a sleazy man?]

...

As the two squabbled in the group chat, Jiang Jinsang quietly told the grandmother about this matter, indirectly reminding her that there was a guest at home, and that they should return earlier.

"Wanwan’s aunt?" The grandmother was a bit confused, just then recalling that she indeed had such a relative.

"She must have heard they have to leave early tomorrow and specially came to pick them up."

"The child isn’t that old, right? That’s quite considerate of her." The grandmother had been worried about them going back just like that, but now knowing there was someone to receive them, she felt a bit more at ease.

When the Jiang Family members were heading back, it was also their first time meeting Shen Shuci, and there were the usual formalities and warm exchanges.

She was young, but perhaps held a higher status within the family hierarchy, speaking and handling matters with maturity. It was quite at odds with her age. However, it was getting late, and they didn’t chat much before Fan Mingyu offered to arrange a room for her.

"No need to trouble yourself, I arrived in haste without prior notice, staying over is already an imposition. I’ll just bunk with Wanwan," said Shen Shuci, after which Jiang Jinsang sitting on the side raised an eyebrow.

She and Tang Wan were going to stay together?

They would leave tomorrow, and on this last night, he couldn’t get close to her, this...

"Wanwan, what do you think?" Shen Shuci turned to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan also wanted to be closer to Jiang Jinsang. They were in the midst of a passionate romance, naturally finding it hard to part, but she couldn’t refuse Shen Shuci’s request and could only smile and say, "Okay, let’s stay together."

Jiang Chengsi stood aside, knowing Jiang Jinsang since childhood. Even if there wasn’t much expression on someone’s face, he could tell they were displeased, yet against an aunt, there was nothing one could do.

But this aunt really lacked tact. The young couple was about to part, and she was interfering right before they left.

Seeing Jiang Jinsang get the short end of the stick was a rare sight, he lowered his head and couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

That laugh drew Shen Shuci’s attention:

He couldn’t possibly be laughing at her.

**

After a brief stay in the living room, everyone returned to their rooms. The elderly lady and Fan Mingyu even took Tang Wan aside to give her some items, knowing she was leaving. Tang Wan couldn’t refuse and went back to her room with a pile of things, just as Shen Shuci came out from a bath.

"Are these from the Jiang Family?" Shen Shuci asked, toweling her hair.

"Yeah, it’s too much, probably won’t fit in the suitcase."

"This Jiang Family, aside from that one person, the rest seem decent enough, although some don’t talk much. They don’t appear ill-intentioned. Mainly, Mrs. Jiang really likes you. If you really marry into the family, with a husband who adores you and a mother-in-law who cherishes you, life won’t be bad."

Tang Wan coughed and stayed quiet.

"Right, how did things progress with you and Jiang Jinsang? It hasn’t been long, and you’re already planning to get engaged?" When Shen Shuci knew about it, the two were still sneaking around. This progress was indeed fast.

"It just developed naturally."

"Did he confess first?" Shen Shuci was technically her aunt, but their relationship was very close, almost like sisters. Shen Shuci was curious, and she didn’t know that the bedroom was separated from Jiang Jinsang’s only by a cupboard, without any soundproofing. Their entire conversation could be heard by Jiang Jinsang.

But Tang Wan was aware, so she stayed careful not to say anything wrong.

"Aunt, let’s not talk about this."

"What’s there to be shy about?" Shen Shuci laughed, "Then I’ll just ask you one thing, how is he treating you? Is he good to you?"

"Very well."

"That’s good, love is a matter between the two of you. What’s important is that you’re happy. Falling in love is all about mutual affection and making each other happy. However, if he ever bullies you, you must tell me. I won’t let him off easy."

Jiang Jinsang cringed at the thought of Shen Shuci fighting.

If he ever wronged Tang Wan, she could actually beat him up.

Tang Wan didn’t respond; honestly speaking, Shen Shuci and Ruan Mengxi were cut from the same cloth, inexperienced with a lot of theory, and one of them liked to drive recklessly.

"Do you have anything else to pack? I can help you," Shen Shuci said, placing the towel on her shoulder, ready to help with the luggage.

"No need, you traveled today and must be tired too. I’ve mostly packed already. Just help me check around casually to see if I missed anything." Tang Wan had packed during the day and had pretty much everything sorted out.

Shen Shuci nodded and began looking through things casually.

As Tang Wan was packing the gifts she bought today, she heard Shen Shuci whisper,

"Is this contraceptives yours? Do you still want it?"

Tang Wan stiffened instantly, turning her head to Shen Shuci, who was inspecting the box, "Hidden quite well, a whole new box, did you buy it and not use it?"

Tang Wan felt as if struck by lightning. Please, don’t talk anymore!
