Chapter 176 - 176 175 How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang

Chapter 176: Chapter 175: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (9) Chapter 176: Chapter 175: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (9) “Give up? Why would I? It’s me who’s not worthy of someone like him.” Su Shu’s voice was void of emotion as she paused to take a drink of water.

Li Xiaoxia said, “When it comes to men and women, there is no such thing as being worthy or unworthy. It all depends on whether you like each other or not. If you like someone, even a fairy could fall for a cowherd. If you don’t, even the toad would disdain the swan.”

With that, Su Shu spat out her water, utterly defeated by Li Xiaoxia’s words!

“Hahaha,” after a bout of laughter, the previous gloom had dissipated.

“Sister, stop teasing me. Who even talks like that!”

Li Xiaoxia glared at her, “Why not? It’s just that you’re young and haven’t seen much. You’re still a young girl, so stop worrying about being worthy or not. You are a fine young lady; who says you’re not worthy? If you like him, you are.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll remember that,” laughed Su Shu.

They were still talking when suddenly, someone lifted the tent flap and entered, asking, “Is there someone named Su Shu here?”

At the mention of her name, Su Shu looked up: “That’s me.”

The staff member glanced at her, “You are Su Shu? From Linjiang’s Huaxin Residential Area?”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“Please come out. Someone is looking for you.”

Uh?

Who would be looking for her?

Li Xiaoxia whispered, “Do you know anyone around here?”

“No, I have no idea.”

“Then you should go over and take a look. Maybe it’s a case of mistaken identity.”

“Okay, Sister, can you keep an eye on my things? I’ll be right back.”

“Go ahead.”

Su Shu followed the staff member out, finding it strange herself; she had no relatives or reasons for anyone to seek her out.

Initially, she thought it might have been Tang Zelin sending someone to call for her after his return, but they had passed the headquarters without the staff member speaking up; so, it probably wasn’t Tang Zelin.

If it wasn’t him, then she was all the more puzzled.

Minutes later, as she stood in the government’s temporary office within the resettlement site and saw that familiar face, Su Shu felt as though the heavens had not intended her rebirth to be peaceful, but rather a series of torments!

Shen Han’s face, sharply chiseled as if by an axe, was terrifyingly somber at that moment.

With a dark suit jacket draped over his arm, upon seeing someone he hadn’t met in many days, he couldn’t help pulling at the tie around his neck.

His voice, tinged with frost and fatigue, asked, “Have you been well these past days?”

Without blame or interrogation, Shen Han just suddenly stood before her, catching Su Shu off guard.

Seeing that she didn’t respond immediately, Shen Han turned to the staff and said, “Thank you all for your help.”

“No need to thank us. It’s our job, and we’re glad to have found your fiancée.”

As the staff member spoke, they couldn’t help but glance at Su Shu’s expression, which was growing clearer to even the most oblivious observer that something was off.

The rumors of her being Tang Zelin’s fiancée had been stirring quite the commotion over the past two days.

Suddenly someone else pops up claiming she is his fiancée, which would naturally lead anyone to think there’s more to the story.

Su Shu felt her brain flood with blood, swelling painfully.

“You’ve got it wrong; I’m not his fiancée!” Su Shu rushed to clarify.

Shen Han, upon hearing this, darkened his expression, furrowed his brow, and grasped her wrist firmly, pulling her to leave.

“Now that we’ve found her, let’s go outside to talk. Later, when the paperwork is settled, I will take her with me.”

“Of course, please, go ahead,” they said.

They were all very cordial to Shen Han, the male god-like handsome guy, in the office, from the aunties to the young girls.

Su Shu struggled to break free but was forcefully pulled outside by Shen Han.

Once outside, Su Shu jerked away vigorously, “Let go!”
