Chapter 339: Chapter 339 - 334: Who Is the Child’s Father
"But I don’t think standing out to lie or deny Mianmian’s existence is a wise choice at this time, and I won’t accept such a choice." Shi Su stated her position.
"Forget this stupid move, it’s indeed not a good choice." Jun coldly looked at those photos on her phone: "The obvious and hidden threats in the entertainment industry are unavoidable. Unless you can become invisible, exposure is inevitable, especially since you are famous and so many people are watching you. Let’s have Mianmian take a winter break directly, don’t let her appear in front of outsiders recently."
Several hours ago, these two photos had already started spreading widely on external websites. None of them noticed, but now they’ve discovered the exposed photos and discussion threads, including all the evidence in the timelines, such as picking up the child and being with the nanny, the nanny picking up the child. It’s too late to try to use connections to delete the exposure posts now.
The exposure posts are on external websites, the source is hard to delete, even if deleted now, other black forums will continue to post relevant photos and discussion threads immediately, and the IP on external sites can’t even trace the true source location of the photos.
There isn’t any related trending topic about Shi Su on Weibo yet, but when searching the initials of Shi Su’s name, some black fans and bystanders are discreetly hinting and asking: [Did any sister see the photos on XX website on the homepage? Does SS really have a daughter?]
The sporadic responses below are: [Wow! Sisters, I saw it too! But I’m afraid to mention it on Weibo, it seems SS’s scandals are always censored once posted, the people behind her are quite powerful!]
One bystander: [No matter how powerful, it’s impossible to delete the photos on XX website immediately, you can’t even trace the IP. Look at the expression on Shi Su’s face when holding the little girl’s hand in the photo, clearly a mother’s look...]
In the following time, although Weibo was afraid to mention the celebrity’s name, marketing accounts quickly posted [A certain upcoming star exposed for having an unmarried daughter, who is the father?] and other posts that can spark heated discussions, and the marketing accounts thoughtfully pixelated Shi Su’s face as well, but the more they did this, the more it was like hiding something, and Shi Su could easily be recognized.

Jing Jihan stepped out of the meeting room and saw the message Jing Luozhou had sent an hour ago to his phone.
Several photos of Shi Su exposed on external websites, including a series of key statements related to both internal and external networks, all screenshot by Jing Luozhou and sent to him, followed by a string of question marks.
Jing Jihan stopped walking when he saw those photos.
These photos and the discussions had already expanded on external sites, everyone who should see them had seen them, those who wanted screenshots had already taken them, people inside the firewall wanting to see the screenshots could do so easily, and deleting the source photos is now useless, it would only provoke fans’ rebellious mentality and curiosity, which would be disadvantageous for Shi Su.
Seeing that Jing Jihan hadn’t replied for so long, Jing Luozhou directly sent over a voice message: "Don’t tell me this little girl popped out of thin air and isn’t her daughter. I got hold of once a photo captured by paparazzi months ago, that photo didn’t have pixelation, and that kid looks a lot like Shi Su!"
Jing Luozhou sent another message: "Don’t tell me that kid is some miraculous being, you stayed at her house for more than a month while recovering, and only then Shi Su had this child, growing up to four or five years in just a few months?"
The phone buzzed again with messages, Jing Luozhou clearly couldn’t hold back his temper: "Grandpa still hasn’t answered my call, but you had your phone turned off during the meeting just now. Mom called me several times from the United Kingdom asking me how Shi Su’s kid came about, and how the hell should I know about that kid? Others become surprise dads, while I’m a surprise uncle overnight? Grandpa might lose control soon, you’d better return early."
"Mr. Jing." Lu Zhao, who hadn’t received any news, walked over and said: "Mr. Zhou is waiting to meet with you tonight."
Jing Jihan didn’t respond, he had already dialed Shi Su’s number on his phone, but it went unanswered.
Jing Jihan suddenly turned around: "Book a flight back to Jiang City, the earliest available."
His voice felt like it carried a winter night’s wind, cold and sharp, yet it made hearts tighten instantly.
Lu Zhao had been with Jing Jihan for many years.
Mr. Jing had always been calm and composed, collected and proper, and in all these years, Lu Zhao had only ever seen Mr. Jing managing everything expertly.
Until just a moment ago, Lu Zhao was sure that no matter what happened, Mr. Jing wouldn’t lose his sense of proportion.
But Jing Jihan kept dialing Shi Su’s number several times, and they all ended in busy signals and unreachable.
Lu Zhao saw Mr. Jing’s cold and stern gaze, knowing tonight’s meeting with Mr. Zhou was likely to fall through.
Mr. Jing always balanced emotions and work, never letting either side be disrupted, but now the Hong Kong cooperation case was abandoned halfway, such a situation seemed to be a first.
Shi Su’s phone was consistently unreachable and eventually went straight to being turned off.
The flight took off from Hong Kong City and landed in Jiang City at 10:15 in the night.
Jing Jihan returned to Kaixing Mansion and saw the lights on the thirty-first floor.
For Shi Su, who finally managed to sleep, being suddenly lifted from bed made her genuinely want to punch someone.
"What are you doing?" She groggily looked at the man who suddenly returned with the chill of a winter night, mumbling in his arms: "I just managed to fall asleep..."
She casually pushed Jing Jihan’s shoulder and simultaneously adjusted her sleeping gown, her voice laden with fatigue.
But the response she received was the man’s deeply pressing kiss.
Deepened again and again, continuing to deepen more.
His kiss felt stronger than usual, more aggressive, as if he nearly lost a precious treasure and finally recovered it.
Shi Su was finally kissed wide awake, lying on her pillow confused, looking at the man upon her, who hadn’t had time to even remove his coat: "Weren’t you busy in Hong Kong tonight..."
"What’s wrong with the phone? Why didn’t you answer the calls?" The man leaned over her, looking at her lips tinged with swollen redness from the kiss, his dark eyes gradually rising to meet her eyes still slightly hazy from waking.
"Ugh... my phone was bombarded with incoming calls all afternoon, everyone was calling me, I couldn’t take it anymore and put it on flight mode." Shi Su simply buried her face in his cold chest, muffled and hoarse: "You already know?"
Would she affect his work? She heard he went to Hong Kong for an important cooperation case this time, and the schedule is very tight, with important meetings and people he needs to meet every hour.
While she was confused with her thoughts, the man suddenly bit her lip, his hand reaching her stomach: "Did you eat anything tonight?
