Chapter 353 Ice Cream

"Of course I will." Tang Shuo replied immediately. "Dad will pick you up in a while."

Chu Xia smiled and nodded, then ran to Su Ran and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Su Ran, I will come to see you often."

Su Ran agreed reluctantly. She and Chu Xia had only been in contact for a few short days, but she really liked each other very much.

However, since Tang Shuo had already agreed so firmly to this matter, he must have his own reasons, so Su Ran did not insist any further.

Although she now clearly knows that Jiang Tiantong's identity will change in the near future, there is still a layer of window paper between the two parties. Although this layer of window paper is very thin, as long as Tang Shuo does not take the initiative to break it, the other party can only be regarded as an outsider!

Therefore, she would definitely give Tang Shuo the face he deserved in front of outsiders.

In fact, the person who is most reluctant to leave should be Aunt Wu, who has been taking care of Chu Xia's affairs almost all the time. Now that Chu Xia is going to school, she can't help but feel a little empty in her heart.

Xiao Chuxia walked over to Aunt Wu and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, I'll tell Dad to buy you ice cream."

…

"Thank you." Tang Shuo said to Jiang Tiantong who was sitting beside him while holding the sleeping Chu Xia.

"I'm not helping you, I'm just helping Xiao Chuxia." Jiang Tiantong replied coldly.

“…”

Did I offend her in some way?

Tang Shuo shook his head doubtfully, then continued, "Bring Chu Xia over here in two days for Christmas."

Jiang Tiantong didn't reject Tang Shuo's words this time. She nodded lightly.

"Tianwei is doing very well in Kuncheng."

Since Jiang Tiantong wasn't going to talk, Tang Shuo had no choice but to find a topic of conversation himself. "He's now the sales manager for a region over there."

This level may be acceptable for ordinary people, and considering Jiang Tianwei's age, he can barely be considered successful in his career.

But for the wealthy Jiang family, it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, considering the other party's past bad deeds, Jiang Tianwei's current transformation can be regarded as a prodigal son returning home.

Jiang Tiantong nodded and said, "Yanjing has been a little too quiet recently. You've been so high-profile in Mingzhu, Song Wenchang probably won't let you go easily. You better be careful."

"I understand," Tang Shuo replied. "In fact, this guy must be the mastermind behind what happened in Mingzhu two days ago. Even if he isn't, he's definitely involved in that incident."

The reason he hurried back from Mingzhu, besides because of Chu Xia, was also because he was concerned about the situation in Yanjing.

Otherwise, he should have consolidated his connections in Mingzhu during this period and waited for opportunities.

After the Southern China Club went through a lot of trouble, he no longer had any specific business in Yanjing, but he still did not give up here.

The Swallow Sect, now controlled by Shi Shida, and now called the Tang League, is secretly responsible for intelligence processing in Yanjing, so Tang Shuo has a certain understanding of any movement in Yanjing.

He agreed to hand Xiao Chuxia over to Jiang Tiantong because he was concerned about Xiao Chuxia's safety.

In addition to the hidden dangers in Yanjing, Tang Shuo also had to face the threat of the sun, so he had to act cautiously at this time.

"The Wang family's strength is limited to Mingzhu, and they've always wanted to expand. So you can seize this opportunity." Jiang Tiantong suddenly asked in confusion, "How did you convince the Fan family?"

This is a question that many people probably want to ask. Tang Shuo naturally would not hold back when it comes to Jiang Tiantong. Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Tang Shuo immediately muted his phone, glanced at the screen, and waved it in front of Jiang Tiantong's eyes. Then he picked up the call.

Jiang Tiantong remained silent. After Tang Shuo finished talking to the other party, she asked, "Is that how you convinced him?"

"yes."

Tang Shuo nodded and hung up the phone.

The person who just called was Fan Ye. He started to question Tang Shuo in a loud voice about the progress of the matter. Tang Shuo gave a few vague answers.

The car soon arrived at the Jiang family's house.

After Tang Shuo got out of the car holding Chu Xia, he had to admit that the environment here was indeed much better than that of the Royal Garden Community.

Following Jiang Tiantong's instructions, Tang Shuo carried Chu Xia upstairs. Looking at the princess's room that had been arranged in advance, he asked, "Have you prepared everything in advance?"

Jiang Tiantong glanced at Tang Shuo indifferently and didn't answer his idiotic question at all.

After putting Chu Xia down, Tang Shuo turned and walked out of the room.

"Thank you for troubling me Chuxia. I'll be leaving first." Tang Shuo said.

Jiang Tiantong stared at Tang Shuo and was silent for a while before saying, "Do you still remember what you promised me?"

"I remember." This time Tang Shuo did not pretend to be confused, but admitted it directly and honestly.

Jiang Tiantong nodded and said, "Just remember it."

…

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when I returned to the Imperial Garden. I pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one answered.

Just as Tang Shuo was about to climb up to the second floor of the villa along the windowsill, the door suddenly opened slowly with a "click", and he saw Aunt Wu in black standing at the door with an indifferent expression.

"Aunt Wu."

Tang Shuo's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately put on a smile and said, "So it's you! I thought you were already asleep!"

Aunt Wu said coldly, "I've been waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

Tang Shuo feigned surprise and said hastily, "Why didn't you just tell me directly? Why would I let you wait for me in person?"

"Do you remember what I told you?" Aunt Wu asked, squinting her small eyes.

Tang Shuo asked nervously, "I've remembered every word you said. Could you please remind me of the specific sentence?"

"I told you not to bully Su Ran. What have you done?" Aunt Wu asked.

"Um……"

Tang Shuo understood that what Aunt Wu was talking about was what happened in early summer. He did not bully Su Ran, but when Su Ran was pregnant, he brought back a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. This seemed to be more excessive than direct bullying.

Seeing that Aunt Wu had rolled up her sleeves, Tang Shuo immediately handed over the plastic bag in his hand and said, "Chu Xia asked me to give this to you."

Before falling asleep, Chu Xia kept telling him to buy a box of ice cream for Aunt Wu. Tang Shuo thought it was just a child's joke at the time. Although he agreed, he didn't take it to heart.

From the look Aunt Wu gave him during the day, Tang Shuo knew that he was in trouble, so on the way back, he finally bought a box for some unknown reason.

I didn't expect that whether he could avoid physical pain now depends entirely on this and ice cream.

Aunt Wu took the plastic bag and saw the ice cream inside. She shook her head helplessly, stood there for a while, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Tang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that Aunt Wu would not do anything to her, it still felt a bit inappropriate to have her eyes swollen for no reason.

He tentatively stuck his head in to take a look, and seeing that Aunt Wu really didn't pursue the matter any further, Tang Shuo walked in with great confidence.

After going upstairs and taking a shower, Tang Shuo walked towards Su Ran's bedroom. Seeing Su Ran still leaning against the headboard reading a book, Tang Shuo asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Didn't Aunt Wu make things difficult for you?" Su Ran turned her head and asked in confusion.

Tang Shuo then smiled and told Su Ran about the ice cream incident. He then looked at Su Ran, who had a peaceful smile on her face, and asked, "Are you angry today?"

"No."

Su Ran shook his head, closed the book and said, "You must have your reasons for doing this."

When Jiang Tiantong made this request, Su Ran instinctively resisted because he had not expected it and because of his protective mentality.

Later, she thought carefully about what Tang Shuo and Jiang Tiantong had done, and found that it seemed to be more than that simple.

Tang Shuo climbed onto the bed, lying next to Su Ran, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you jealous?"

"If I get jealous, won't I be drowned in jealousy?" Su Ran said with a smile: "Besides, there is a princess in England!"
