Chapter 267: Chapter 267 - 264: Jing Jihan Actually Has a Day When He Follows His Wife’s Lead

"Make it quick, don’t waste time." Jing Luozhou didn’t want to hear her nonsense.

Chen Xinfei looked again at Shi Su, who clearly didn’t intend to speak, and then glanced at Jing Jihan’s cool, expressionless profile.

Obviously, Shi Su had been bullied, and unless revenge was taken for her, both Jing Jihan and probably even Jing Luozhou wouldn’t let it go.

Chen Xinfei glared red-eyed in Shi Su’s direction and suddenly said, "Mr. Jing, do you know who Shi Su is? She’s the daughter of Mr. Shi of Shi Hong Group, also Shi Yunyin’s sister, but she was kicked out long ago by the Shi Family, just an illegitimate child without standing..."

Jing Jihan interrupted her indifferently, "She’s Shi Su, not someone’s daughter, nor someone’s sister."

Chen Xinfei’s tone stalled.

The way it sounds, he actually knows about Shi Su’s situation?

Jing Jihan lowered his gaze, glanced at Shi Su, the man’s eyes were extremely calm and steady, his voice falling on everyone’s ears was very gentle yet seemed immensely powerful, "If she must have an identity and reliance, then it is to be the future Mrs. Jing."

Chen Xinfei tightly clenched the bag in her hand, her nails almost embedding in her palm.

She couldn’t believe the Jing Family would accept someone like Shi Su who had no background.

Just like herself, the dignified heiress of Chen Holding had to rely on her elders to seek out opportunities in hopes of acquiring a chance to have a marriage alliance with Mr. Jing.

Shi Su was nothing, at best she was just someone Jing Jihan played with... No matter how much he pampered and liked her, she couldn’t possibly marry into the family.

Yet Jing Luozhou directly called her sister-in-law, as if the existence of Shi Su was not a secret to the Jing Family.

Chen Xinfei couldn’t understand, but at this point, she could not defy the two heads of the Jing Family; offending Yu Jing Group would bring disastrous consequences.

She turned her head again to look at Shi Su and after a moment, softened her voice, "Shi Su, I sincerely apologize to you, please forgive my behavior today."

Shi Su still only looked at her calmly, making Chen Xinfei secretly resentful, she gradually lowered her head as if bowing in apology, and said loudly, "I’m sorry!"

Shi Su finally spoke, "Miss Chen, do you still want that Himalayan Birkin?"

Chen Xinfei raised her eyes to meet Shi Su’s gaze, without needing Shi Su to say another word, she understood exactly what her words meant.

Chen Xinfei was so angry she closed her eyes, forcibly suppressing her resentment, she really hadn’t expected to be trampled by someone as low as Shi Su.

"That bag is already yours, how could I dare to want it? To express my sincerity in apologizing, I’ll cover the cost of this Himalayan Birkin from Hermes, charge it to my account."

Shi Su seemed to wear a smile, but her voice stretched slowly, "We’ve already paid for this, wouldn’t refunding and repaying be too much hassle?"

"No hassle, as long as you can forgive me, Miss Shi Su." Chen Xinfei still lowered her head to Shi Su, yet her hands clenched tightly on the bag.

"Since you insist on expressing apologies in this way, if I don’t accept it, wouldn’t I appear ungenerous?" Shi Su smiled serenely, "Then I’d trouble Miss Chen to pay for it, thank you."

Miss Chen’s lips trembled in anger, "No, no need to be polite, as long as you forgive me."

"With your two to three million of sincerity laid out here, how can I not forgive? Miss Chen is so generous; I really feel guilty. We were just planning to have dinner, would you like to join?"

Chen Xinfei thought she must have heard wrong, her eyes surprised, she glanced at Shi Su but couldn’t decipher her intentions, the next moment she directly looked in Jing Luozhou’s direction.

Jing Luozhou frowned at the scene, muttering to Jing Jihan, who didn’t intend to intervene, "Did Shi Su lose her mind?"

Jing Jihan had one hand in his pocket, not commenting on the matter, simply said, "Shi Su’s cold isn’t fully healed yet, for dinner pick something light."

Jing Luozhou: "..."

Who would have thought Jing Jihan could be so accommodating as a husband!

Damn, you think you’re impressive just because you have a woman you can pamper so much?!

Chen Xinfei hesitated for a dozen seconds before agreeing, "Alright, this can be considered as... not knowing without fighting, since Shi Su has forgiven me, let’s take the opportunity to sit down and chat, so Mr. Jing and Mr. Jing can erase their misunderstanding of me."

Though she spoke thus, Jing Luozhou had already turned away, disinclined to watch her eager green tea escape into his vicinity.

Jing Jihan asked Shi Su, "What do you want to eat?"

"I saw a Japanese restaurant opposite the department center, I’ve heard it’s quite good, let’s eat there." Shi Su replied while looking over at Chen Xinfei, "What about you, Miss Chen?"

"I’m okay with anything, anything’s fine." Chen Xinfei said while glancing at Jing Luozhou’s back.

She turned to follow them out, when suddenly she heard the staff at the service desk saying, "Miss Chen, we’ve just processed a refund for Miss Shi Su’s bag, the account is now under your name. Would you kindly sign the bill?"

Chen Xinfei’s face momentarily froze, suppressing the anger swelling within, she turned quickly to sign.

Tonight, she not only spent money but also ruined her first impression before Jing Family’s two young masters, she must find a way to salvage some semblance of her image when they reach the restaurant...

...

To restore her image was a matter whose beginning she guessed, but whose ending she did not anticipate.

The reality was... Shi Su entered the restaurant and chose a table with its own set of window panels and partitions.

Men and women sat on either side of the long table; both needed to unlock their side of the partition to open the middle panel, allowing them to dine together without disturbance.

Chen Xinfei’s orders had been delivered, she tried several times, gently tapping the partition between her and Jing Luozhou, hoping he would open it and engage in some dialogue.

However, Jing Luozhou remained impassive and never opened it.

When Chen Xinfei got up to go to the bathroom, she passed Shi Su’s side and saw the partition between Shi Su and Jing Jihan was already open. Jing Jihan was moving away an ice cream he secretly ordered for her, signaling with his eyes that she shouldn’t eat cold foods while still ill.

From her angle by the side, Chen Xinfei couldn’t hear their conversation well, but saw Jing Jihan serving Shi Su a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, faintly hearing him seriously remind Shi Su to mind her light diet to avoid getting a fever at night.

Returning from the bathroom, Chen Xinfei knocked again on the partition before her, still receiving no response.

Though they came to dine together, she initially thought of finding a chance to chat, yet didn’t expect the meal to proceed with her entirely alone; the dinner had absolutely no appetite, her mind constantly fixating on Jing Luozhou across the partition.

But until the end, Jing Luozhou never acknowledged her.

He had even completed his meal and returned to the car earlier without her knowing when.

Although it was a shared dinner, it was actually a complete, utter empty void...
