Chapter 177: Chapter 176: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (10) Chapter 177: Chapter 176: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (10) Shen Han let go, stood still, and looked down at her. Having not seen her for a long time, the girl’s complexion wasn’t as haggard as he had imagined, which alleviated some of his worries.

“How did you get here? And, how could you talk nonsense with others!”

Shen Han squinted, “What did I say.”

“You said!” Su Shu took a deep breath and held back the rest of her words, not wanting to argue with him on this issue.

“Fine, you’ve seen me now. I’m quite alright, healthy and disaster-free. You can rest assured now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first, thank you Mr. Shen for your concern.” With that, Su Shu turned around to leave.

Shen Han couldn’t let her go, grabbing her arm with some force, causing Su Shu to involuntarily cry out, “Ah.”

He loosened his grip but didn’t let go of her.

“Su Shu, wait a moment.”

Su Shu stopped, looked down at her toes, unsure whether to leave or stay, and unwilling to respond. Should she just remain silent?

Confusion filled Shen Han’s eyes. He didn’t understand. In the past, no matter what he said, she would listen with keen interest. But now, why was it so hard to even have a brief conversation with her?

His kind intentions were not appreciated; his care was not accepted.

What did she really want? Did she have to be angry with him for so long?!

Su Shu sighed, looked up and said, “Before you speak, could you let go of me first? There are people coming and going here.”

Shen Han released her and took out a room key from his pocket, offering it to her.

Su Shu was puzzled.

“This is the key card to a hotel suite. It’s too chaotic here. You take Xiao’ai and stay in the hotel for a while. I still have some things to attend to. Once I’m done, I’ll bring you to Capital City tomorrow,” Shen Han said.

Su Shu was shocked and incredulously looked up at him.

“What, you didn’t understand?” Seeing her bewildered, Shen Han’s expression softened somewhat.

He had specifically come here to take her away. C City was too dangerous, and he didn’t feel at ease with her being here.

Su Shu didn’t take the room key. “I understood. I’m just surprised. Why are you still like this.”

“Hmm?” The man’s tone rose with displeasure.

“I won’t leave. I’m quite fine here. There are government and military personnel around, it’s quite safe. If you want to go to Capital City, don’t worry about me. You can do as you please.”

She was safeguarding a perfectly good C City, staying with a perfectly good Zelin Tang. Why would she want to go to Capital City?

No matter how good Capital City was, later on, many people starved to death there too. Had she gone mad?

Shen Han asked sternly, “Why don’t you want to go? Is it good here? Eating bread and instant noodles every day, haven’t you had enough?”

“It’s not as severe as you say. The authorities are also trying to find solutions.”

“What exactly are you upset about? Are you blaming me for arriving too late?” Shen Han’s eyebrows knitted together.

He grasped her shoulder, “I was abroad before, just got back. The flood had already begun here, and I couldn’t find you. It took me several days to sort things out back home before coming to take you away. If you’re upset, let it be for now. First, pack your things and take the child with me. We’ll have plenty of time to talk later. Su Shu, don’t make a fuss. I haven’t slept for two days and nights. Listen, be good, go pack your things and come with me.”

Su Shu sighed, “Shen Han, why do you never truly listen to what I say?”.

Shen Han looked at her.

“Whatever I say or do, in your eyes, am I always just being moody, acting like a capricious girl?”

“Otherwise?”

He couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation. A girl who had liked him for many years suddenly became as cold as a stranger, and the change occurred just when he was negotiating marriage with the Jiang Family. What else was he supposed to think?

He knew what she wanted, but he needed time to handle it. Couldn’t she just be as obedient as before and wait for him to sort things out?

Su Shu knew Shen Han too well. The light in his eyes, the expression on his face, she bitterly smiled in her heart. The privileged son of heaven, he was ultimately still seeing her from his own perspective.

She was just about to explain herself.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

“Girl, is that a friend?”

Zelin Tang’s voice, always deep with a lazy magnetic charm.

Startled, Su Shu instinctively turned her head, and there indeed was Zelin Tang’s cynically smiling handsome face.
