Chapter 323: 216 Beating Up Your Aunt, Wanwan Gets Framed (2nd Update)

Inside the Jiang Family’s living room

Shen Shuci removed her torn down jacket, worried about down feathers escaping. Tang Wan used a clip to fix the torn spot before placing her down jacket aside.

Her scarf, sweater, and even her pants were covered in down feathers, and there were also white fluffy specks in her hair.

This was the first time Tang Wan had seen her in such a disheveled state, trying hard to hold back laughter, she found her a lint roller and urged her to hurry to the restroom to clean up.

When Shen Shuci saw in the mirror that even her hair strands had white fluff standing on end, her face darkened once more.

However, Jiang Chengsi was still as dapper as ever, not a single down feather clinging to him. His clothes were leather, windproof and rainproof, waterproof, and down couldn’t stick to them.

So, the down feathers were blown all around, but only Shen Shuci had suffered.

"Was that really your aunt?" Jiang Chengsi had no comprehension of the Tang Family’s relations.

"Yes," Tang Wan stifled a laugh, "How did you two start fighting?"

"Not sure," Jiang Chengsi tried to recollect. He had only patted her shoulder when she resisted, and somehow things got physical, "It seemed... like she was the first to start it."

Shen Shuci, having dealt with the down feathers on her, came out just to hear this and was even more irritated.

"Was it you who frightened me first?"

"Is it not because you were lurking suspiciously by the door?"

"I was just trying to make sure I hadn’t come to the wrong place."

"All I wanted to do was ask who you were looking for. You started it, so naturally I had to defend myself," Jiang Chengsi spoke with reason, "Besides, dressed so heavily and lurking at the door, you did look suspicious."

"Alright, since it’s a misunderstanding, let me formally introduce you. Aunt, this is Jiang Chengsi, he’s the elder brother of Brother Five. Fourth Brother, this is my aunt—Shen Shuci."

Jiang Chengsi just smiled, "With such a way of meeting, I’m sure I won’t mistake you for a thief next time."

Shen Shuci scrutinized him; she had only met Jiang Jinsang before. They were brothers?

The difference seemed too great—one gentle as the clear autumn moon, and this one...

What kind of creature is he?

He rode a motorcycle, saw she was a woman, and didn’t even hold back, instead hitting even harder.

By this time, Old Tang and Tang Yunxian had also come out. In fact, Hua Mei inside had been calling out the entire time, but since it often did so, everyone hadn’t really paid attention.

"Why did you come here? Didn’t I tell your father we could get back ourselves, there was no need for you to come pick us up?" Old Tang chided in his tone, but seeing Shen Shuci, his smile was so wide it wouldn’t close.

"Are you sure you’re really alright?" Shen Shuci had a mission in coming here.

The Shen Family had returned to Pingjiang for the new year and only then discovered that Old Tang had gone ahead with the surgery without notifying them, and it was already the 29th of the lunar year, so they couldn’t come to Beijing to visit.

Since their family was soon to return to Pingjiang, they specifically asked Shen Shuci to come over as an escort. It was better to have one more person looking out for them on the journey.

"I’ve said it before, I’m fine. Look at this body of mine," Old Tang said, taking a few steps in front of her, "How about it? Not bad, right?"

"Mhm," Shen Shuci, in front of her elders, was still very well-behaved, her earlier fierce demeanor nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t that Jiang Chengsi had intentionally hit hard later on, but rather that she removed her scarf and mask, becoming more ruthless in her movements. She must have had some training, specifically designed for close combat against men, targeting the most vulnerable spots on a man. If he hadn’t been rough...

He probably would have ended up a corpse on the doorstep.

"Why didn’t you say something beforehand when you were coming?" Tang Yunxian, although her brother-in-law, was more like an elder brother or parent figure.

"My dad was worried that if we told you in advance, you wouldn’t let me come. I took a taxi to the entrance of the neighborhood, additionally, I called you and Wanwan, but no one answered."

"I was on the bus, didn’t notice," Tang Wan immediately explained.

Tang Yunxian furrowed his brows, "I was packing luggage, might have not paid attention."

"Right, have you had dinner yet?" the old master took her hand, "Look at how cold your hands are."

"I ate a bit on the plane." noveldrama

"We’re about to have dinner soon; eat a bit more."

...

Naturally, Jiang Chengsi also stayed for dinner, having brought gifts, which made Old Tang think he was too courteous.

"I just found some fun toys to relieve boredom. I hope you don’t mind."

"Why would I mind? It’s the thought that counts."

The old master smiled. In reality, though Jiang Chengsi might stray from the norm and was a bit wild, he was decent in other aspects. Apart from dealing with his father, he was extremely polite to the other elders outside, and his more outgoing personality made him the more favored one whenever he interacted with them, without the reservedness that younger members of the family showed.

"Fourth Brother, sit for a bit. I’m going to stir-fry a couple of dishes. You haven’t tried Pingjiang’s specialty dishes before, have you?" Tang Wan already tied on an apron as she spoke and entered the kitchen.
