Chapter 475: 302 has offended the evil god, they are all gift terminators_2
This man is dangerous.
His aloofness differs from Jiang Yanting’s. While Jiang Yanting maintains a self-restrained coldness, this man embodies a lethal kind. Those eyes were not only still as stagnant water but even seed icebound for miles, undoubtedly sending a chill through anyone who inadvertently crosses his path.
His coldness was thin as ice, trendously intimidating—an uncommon kind compared to most people.
He slightly moved aside to let Shen Shuci in.
“What? Leaving?” Jiang Yanting followed her into the hospital room and placed his gifts on a side cabinet. “Stay a little longer?”
“No need.”
Shen Shuci had just greeted Jiang Jinsang. “I’ve just learned about your surgery and ca to visit. How are you feeling now?”
“I’m quite well, thanks for worrying you, grandmother, and grandfather.” He and Tang Wan were not formally married yet, and he was not too willing to call her his aunt presently.
Shen Shuci placed the flowers on the bedside and then noticed a stack of books on marriage managent and law on the bedside table, slightly frowning.
It’s one thing to read about managing a marriage, but why study how to smartly divorce?
She frowned slightly. “You’re studying this already before getting married?”
“It wasn’t who bought them. Soone else gave them to ,” Jiang Jinsang glanced sideways at soone standing by the doorway talking with his elder brother. “He said it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“Your friend has quite a unique way of thinking.” Shen Shuci definitely hoped for him and Tang Wan to get married and stay together for a lifeti. Seeing books about divorce made her uncomfortable. “If you’re getting married, why plan for what to do in case of divorce? It feels quite pointless.”
“I think so too, plus I don’t need these at all.”
Jiang Jinsang followed up on her comnt.
“His way of thinking, I can understand. So things, it’s necessary to prepare just in case, and so stuff really do need to be clarified before marriage, but—”
So things do need to get clarified before marriage, but as a friend of the bride, seeing books presumably given by a friend of the groom about divorce does make one uneasy.
Could it be that Jiang Jinsang’s friend thinks that if there’s an issue between the couple later on, Tang Wan’s side will cling desperately or take more than their fair share from him?
Thus, encouraging him to be prepared in advance? After all, when comparing the Jiang Family’s influence to the Tang Family’s, the latter is sowhat lesser.
Having lived abroad for a long ti, Shen Shuci was fluent in Chinese, but not often using it internationally, she montarily couldn’t find the right words to express her feelings.
As she was considering her words, a deep male voice ca from behind.
“What about?”
Shen Shuci slightly turned her head toward him.
His eyes shot towards her like a sharp blade, nearly sealing her throat, making her feel a chill down her neck.
“Was it who gave the books? Any problem?”
Shen Shuci couldn’t believe that these books were a gift from him. He didn’t seem like the type to do such a thing. anwhile, the atmosphere inside the room was getting awkward when Tang Wan returned.
“Huo Big Brother, you’re here too? Why is everyone standing, please have a seat.” She had just entered, still pondering how Zhou Zhongqing instructed her to apply dication to Jiang Jinsang and hadn’t noticed the uneasy atmosphere in the room.
“Not sitting, I should be leaving.”
He politely said his goodbyes to several people, but his eyes looked colder when he glanced at Shen Shuci before turning to leave.
That’s just his nature, to co and go in a hurry, and Tang Wan didn’t say much. “Aunt, please sit, let get you a glass of water.”
Shen Shuci bit her lip but eventually decided to follow him out, previously accidentally bumping Jiang Chengsi’s head, and it was he who had taken the bla for it. Now, inadvertently criticizing the gifts he sent, she owed him a favor and had been rude, not how one should act or treat others, perhaps an apology was in order.
But as she chased after him, a line of people had just entered the elevator.
“Mr. Huo, wait…” Shen Shuci saw the elevator doors weren’t fully closed yet. Given her distance to the elevator, she could just make it in ti.
Just then, she saw soone raising his right hand, seemingly pressing a button.
She was montarily pleased, thinking he pressed the door-open button, allowing the elevator to pause longer.
The next second…
The elevator doors slowly closed, and Shen Shuci’s heart skipped a beat. By the ti she rushed forward, the doors had already sealed shut. She raised her hand and pressed the button on the side, but the elevator had already started moving down…
What kind of strange temperant is this?
Inside the elevator, the Huo Family exchanged glances—this was the second ti this had happened.
“Sir… just now Miss Shen seed to have called you, and you just…” closed the door like that? It doesn’t seem quite appropriate, after all, she is also the future aunt of the Fifth Master.
“Did she?” the man slightly raised his eyebrows, “I didn’t hear.”
Everyone: “…”
With your sight and hearing, you’re telling us you didn’t hear? You’re kidding us.
“Do you also think those books I sent weren’t quite appropriate?”
Everyone hesitated for a mont.
“They were perfectly suitable, how are they not? Now, so many couples beco enemies because of divorce lawsuits, I think it’s better to make things clear earlier.”
“That’s right, it’s not about guarding against each other, it benefits both parties.”
“Exactly, your intentions are far-reaching, the Fifth Master will definitely feel it.”
…
The elevator mirror reflected his face, cold as frost.
He raised his hand to dust off his lapel where the calla lily, which inherently had no scent but was deliberately sprayed with a light perfu by the flower shop, had brushed against him, causing his eyebrows to furrow deeply.
The young lady just casually made a remark, and you didn’t need to deliberately close the elevator, did you? People exchanged glances; their master was so indifferent to charm and grace, when would their family ever have a mistress or add a little baby to the Huo Family…
This is too hard.
Mainly because the things he gives, nobody dares to complain, Shen Shuci unintentionally touched the tiger’s derriere.

In the hospital room
When Shen Shuci ca back, Tang Wan sized her up, “Auntie? What happened? Did you go chasing after Brother Huo?”
Tang Wan frowned. She and that man had t so many tis and had nothing to say, and Shen Shuci had only t him twice and naturally had even less to discuss.
But when she chased after him, Jiang Jinsang unbelievably let out a laugh, and even the usually stoic Jiang Yanting seed to be holding back a smile. Tang Wan was perplexed. She had only spoken with Zhou Zhongqing for two minutes, what on earth had happened?
She asked Jiang Jinsang what was so funny.
Jiang Jinsang only said that the book looked especially entertaining, obviously bluffing her.
“No.” Shen Shuci coughed softly, and sighed heavily. Awful, she seed to have offended him.
But giving these books to Jiang Jinsang was indeed untily, especially seeing these, her female relatives and friends would naturally feel it inappropriate.
Primarily, he really didn’t seem like the kind of person who would give such things.
“Auntie, shall I open the gift?” Tang Wan was preparing to open and sort out the gifts Shen Shuci had brought. If it were soone else, they would definitely wait until the person left to open the gifts, but as Shen Shuci was family, there weren’t as many formalities.
“Go ahead and open it.” Shen Shuci gritted her teeth and sighed again.
Tang Wan opened the package, and inside lay all sorts of health supplents—everything for liver protection, heart care, and regulating the spleen and stomach…
Other people give nutritional products when visiting the sick; does her family give health supplents?
Jiang Jinsang glanced at the bottles and slightly raised his eyebrows. Her gifts, compared to a certain soone’s, were indeed not lacking, and moreover, why were there kidney-enhancing, n’s nourishing items…
What did he need to nourish?
These were all gift-ender items—she actually had the nerve to criticize others?
