Elders sure have a knack for sizing up people and situations.
Liang Han’s attitude towards her was anything but respectful. Although she didn’t say anything, deep down the old lady felt uneasy.
"Thinks he can rely on his family’s backing, but he has no idea that the Liang Family now is nothing like it was a decade ago. This ti it’s just he’s irked, and I don’t mind, but if next ti he annoys soone more formidable, I’m afraid the Liang Family might not be able to handle it," Jiang Chengsi scoffed lightly.
...
Tang Wan had no dealings with the Liang Family, rely listening in as if it were gossip, never taking it to heart, let alone knowing that matters of the Liang Family would eventually beco linked to her.
She was also thinking about a restaurant specializing in Pingjiang dishes they had previously visited with the Shen Family’s elderly couple, planning to invite Ruan ngxi and Shen Shuci to give it a try.
She wasn’t usually one for cravings, but ever since she got pregnant, her appetite had indeed improved significantly.
Thinking it over, she sent a ssage to Shen Shuci and Ruan ngxi to see if they were free...
Due to You Congrong’s issue, "Feng Que" had to replace an actor last minute, and the crew needed to reshoot scenes, adjusting other actors’ schedules as well. Ruan ngxi had been so busy she was spinning, even missing Shen Zhixian’s wedding due to a business trip. As an employee, her ti just wasn’t as flexible as a boss’s.
She had just finished up her work and was enjoying so downti when she received Tang Wan’s ssage. Happily agreeing to et, and upon hearing that Mrs. Shen had been hospitalized, she even bought so gifts and went to visit the old couple at their hotel.
When Shen Shuci got the ssage, she hurried to finish her work, fed Huo Chichi so food, and then drove to the restaurant they’d arranged to et at. Just as she pushed the door to the private room open, laughter spilled out...
"Auntie, you’re the last to arrive, so you’re picking up the bill today!" Ruan ngxi teased jokingly.
"Alright, I’ll pay," their relationship didn’t need precise splitting of bills. Whenever she went to Pingjiang and Ruan ngxi was there, she often treated her to als.
"I lost all my bonus because of the recent drama on set, I’ve been utterly broke lately." Just thinking about her docked bonus made Ruan ngxi sigh, "Auntie, how’s your job regularization going?"
"It should be no problem."
Tang Wan was about to pour Shen Shuci a glass of water when she was stopped, Shen Shuci took the teapot from her hands, "I’ll do it; you just sit."
"What’s going on? It’s just pouring water; why so formal?" Ruan ngxi sipped her tea, eyeing Tang Wan, "Tang Xiaowan, Mr. Fifth has spoiled you too much. Look at you, how much weight have you put on since you got your license? Could this be the legendary... weight gain after marriage, ’happy fat’?"
"Maybe I’m eating more and moving less. You know my job requires to sit all the ti."
Shen Shuci had just poured herself a glass of water when she heard Ruan ngxi brazenly declare:
"Tang Xiaowan, did you know? A single harmonious and perfect marital session burns calories almost equivalent to jogging slowly for 30 minutes. But this depends on the man’s performance. If it’s over in a few minutes, then the calories burned are negligible..."
"Snort—" Shen Shuci choked; had the conversation really started on this explosive note?
She cleared her throat, and just as her phone vibrated, she switched to pretending to check it while drinking water, choosing not to engage in the topic. To her surprise, she received a text from Huo Qinqi.
[Are you free to have dinner tonight?]
[I’m eating with Wanwan and Xixi.]
[I’ll co to pick you up after I finish.]
[No need, we might have more activities afterwards, I can get ho by myself.]
[Then after I eat, I’ll go file a marriage registration, it might need your cooperation, so of your information, and possibly a political review. Marrying an ordinary person involves more procedures.]
[...]
We’re not even in any kind of relationship, what marriage filing are you talking about! Shen Shuci felt a headache brewing, wondering what kind of disaster she had stumbled upon.
