Chapter 266: Chapter 266 - 263: How Jing Jihan Pampers a Woman...

Didn’t expect Jing Jihan to appear on the second floor first.

Shi Su was so startled that her gaze followed the man descending the stairs for a while, until the cold and upright man approached.

"When did you come to the first floor service desk? Made me look for you." Jing Jihan walked directly in front of Shi Su and stopped, casually ran his fingers through her hair, and glanced at the hat in Jing Luozhou’s hand.

Jing Luozhou was hungry and annoyed, didn’t bother with his brother flaunting affection, raised his hat like a fan and fanned himself: "Haven’t we asked why this call took so long? You showed up only after we finished shopping; you really take me as a full-time bag carrier, don’t you?"

While gently running his fingers through Shi Su’s hair, Jing Jihan touched her forehead to ensure she wasn’t running a fever, then ran his hand over the top of her head again, looking at her, his voice deep: "I’m sorry, there were two urgent projects at the overseas branch that needed handling. They kept calling me. Because of dealing with company matters, I couldn’t accompany you properly to shop. Is there anything you haven’t bought? Shall I go with you?"

"We’ve already bought a lot, he’s about to starve, don’t torture him anymore." Shi Su said while gesturing in Jing Luozhou’s direction with her eyes.

Jing Luozhou grunted, showing a face of being so hungry he didn’t want to speak, and preferred not being bothered.

Jing Jihan truly ignored him and instead told Shi Su, "Just before I went upstairs to find you, I passed by a shop and saw a necklace that suits you."

Necklace?

Shi Su and Jing Luozhou instinctively looked at his hands but saw no necklace.

Jing Luozhou was about to mock how Jing Jihan took so long handling calls and even borrowing a necklace to apologize seemed insincere.

But the next moment, he saw Jing Jihan, usually indifferent, casually pick up the delicate blue velvet box from the floor.

—It’s the box that was thrown from the second floor and directly hit Chen Xinfei on the head!

The box was opened, and inside lay a necklace embedded with a five-carat blue diamond, sparkling radiantly.

Jing Luozhou only took a glance and could tell it was a high-quality blue diamond. Even half a carat could buy three or four Himalayan platinum bags.

He never realized before that when Jing Jihan spoiled a woman, he surprisingly wasn’t discreet.

Shi Su didn’t know much about such jewelry, didn’t understand blue diamonds, or what was top-tier or rare, she only knew it was beautiful and recognized it as a very pretty diamond.

But Shi Su was shocked that he had just thrown this thing down like that?

Such a large piece of diamond, just thrown down in the box?

Looking at the weight of the box alone, no wonder it could hit someone and create a bump!

She instinctively looked towards the person who had just been hit by the necklace box.

Chen Xinfei had been speechless ever since Jing Jihan came down, especially seeing that supposedly stern and aloof man, using a gentle, low voice to speak softly to Shi Su, even affectionately patting her head, she stared at them in disbelief, as if in a dream unrelated to herself.

Especially seeing that blue diamond necklace, Chen Xinfei could not fail to recognize such an item.

That was the top-tier blue diamond exhibited at last month’s High Pearl Exhibition in Jiang City, with a starting price of over thirty million. Now, a month later, the price had been rising continuously, and everyone understood that such a starting price was merely a base figure. No ordinary person could come up with the money and directly buy it.

Jing Jihan, affected by Shi Su’s gaze, finally turned back, his eyes mildly glancing at the woman behind him: "The heiress of Chen Holding?"

Chen Xinfei: "..."

Suddenly feeling a chill down her spine, she dared not admit nor deny it, could only stand silently for a long time without a word.

Part of her mind was in disbelief, how could Shi Su be connected to Jing Jihan? Why would he spoil Shi Su so much? A man’s affection for a woman cannot be faked, especially since Jing Jihan never had other women around him, yet he is so attentive to Shi Su?

Shi Su, a person who has lived in the dust since childhood, how could it be like this?

Another part of her mind reminded her not to offend Jing Jihan, or it would surely impact her father’s company...

"Will you apologize to Shi Su yourself, or have your father do it on your behalf?"

Jing Jihan’s voice was clear and indifferent, without any threat, but the more understated and unheated it was, the more lightly he spoke, the more it made Chen Xinfei’s legs weak, her whole body seemingly soaked in ice.

Jing Jihan’s features naturally had a coldness, at this moment also cold and still like an unmoving snow mountain, there was no warmth on his stern face.

"I..." Chen Xinfei’s face was a flush of embarrassment, around them besides themselves were several staff members and clerks from Jiang City’s department store, none dared look directly, but couldn’t help glancing.

Even though it was humiliating, Chen Holding couldn’t afford to suffer due to her offense towards Jing Jihan.

Chen Xinfei bit her lip and took a deep breath, now not daring to utter a word against Shi Su, nor sully her, and could only honestly whisper: "Mr. Jing... I’m sorry... it was a misunderstanding... Shi Su and I only knew each other as children... back then at the Shi Family... we, we..."

Jing Jihan’s cold gaze stayed on Chen Xinfei: "Are you apologizing to me?"

Chen Xinfei’s expression paused, her eyes suddenly turning to Shi Su, seeing that Shi Su clearly had no intention of stopping her, obviously really waiting for her to apologize.

Since Shi Su had the competence to catch Jing Jihan’s eye, she must have had some means of attracting men in private; in order to show her own kindness and beauty, she shouldn’t boldly step up now and say it’s unnecessary, right?

But Shi Su didn’t say anything, was indeed waiting.

A seemingly quiet but clearly vindictive woman, what did Jing Jihan see in her?

Chen Xinfei held onto the last bit of unwillingness in her heart, saying: "I’m sorry."

When she said this, she was still facing in Jing Jihan’s direction.

It wasn’t directed at Shi Su at all.

Jing Jihan clearly lost patience, his tone slow: "Your father is Chen Ziming?"

Chen Xinfei instantly almost bit through her lip, fearing her family’s company would really suffer, quickly turned her eyes to face Shi Su, and with a low voice said: "Shi Su, I’m sorry."

Shi Su’s hat had long been taken off, loose strands of hair covering her cheeks, she raised her brows slightly, looking at Chen Xinfei indifferently, her face showing no emotion.

Yet, Shi Su still did not respond.

Jing Luozhou suddenly "tsk"ed: "So clueless? Voice too low, my sister-in-law didn’t hear, don’t you understand?"

Chen Xinfei: "..."

"Where’s the momentum and voice you had when slandering and insulting Shi Su earlier?"

Chen Xinfei’s eyes suddenly reddened: "Mr. Jing, I..."
