Chapter 438: Chapter 438 - 432: Just Have to Let Jing Jihan Take the Fall

In recent years, some small and big female celebrities who had beef with Shi Su seemed eerily silent on Weibo, with no one speaking up. Yet, if you carefully browse through their Weibo accounts, you’ll find that some old posts targeting or implying Shi Su have been quietly deleted or made visible only for six months, leaving no trace.

Clearly, Shi Su, who has always risen to the top through her own efforts within the industry, now carries a huge label on her, reading—"Not to be offended."

Of course, there is no shortage of onlookers questioning how Shi Su climbed her way up, and occasionally there are other voices, full of suspicion, speculation, and false accusations.

But because the public announcement of her marital status was made through the official Weibo of Yu Jing Group, it clearly indicates Ji Han’s attitude and the importance he places on Shi Su. As long as a person’s heart isn’t twisted, they can sense how pampered and sweet it is, so those questioning voices are almost completely ignored and no one pays them any attention.

"Thank you, Great-grandma. You have some too~"

At breakfast, Mianmian sat next to Mrs. Jing. Mrs. Jing continuously picked out dishes that kids like for Mianmian, who also served some dishes to Mrs. Jing. The warm interaction between the elderly and the little one was so heartwarming it made you not want to interrupt.

Mrs. Jing was genuinely fond of Mianmian and was exceedingly delighted. As soon as she sat down to eat, she said she hardly slept last night, eagerly waiting for dawn to see Mianmian again. Her mind was filled with Mianmian’s little figure in her drowsy dreams because she really missed her a lot.

"It’s the weekend today, my little darling doesn’t need to go to kindergarten. Would you like to stay here with great-grandma for two more days?" Mrs. Jing asked with a loving smile, her eyes about to overflow with affection.

Mianmian’s eyes immediately sparkled as she looked at Shi Su and Ji Han: "Mommy, Ji Han Dad, is that okay?"

Shi Su wasn’t sure about Ji Han’s plans for the next few days, but since Mrs. Jing missed the child so much, they obviously wouldn’t send the child back immediately after arriving. Otherwise, the elderly wouldn’t eat or sleep well.

Jihan saw Mianmian’s eyes full of hope and a little longing, and warmly said, "Sure, but we need to go to another place with great-grandma. There’s an elder there whom Mianmian has never met. Do you want to go?"

Shi Su guessed he was referring to Mr. Jing.

Mianmian’s eyes widened in curiosity: "Wow? Is great-grandma going too?"

"Of course, if Mianmian wants to go, great-grandma will certainly go with you, great-grandma will have your back!" Mrs. Jing said as she stroked Mianmian’s little face, "If that old man dares give you any attitude, great-grandma will take care of him for you!"

Mianmian was surprised: "Huh?"

Shi Su couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Mrs. Jing teased Mianmian while saying: "Let me tell you, the old man we’re meeting later, if he’s nice to you, don’t mind him, and if he isn’t nice, still don’t mind him. Just stick with great-grandma and stay away from that old man!"

"Uh... Great-grandma, does ’old man’ mean grandpa?" Mianmian asked confusedly, blinking her eyes.

Mrs. Jing scoffed: "Just an annoying old man! How troublesome!"

Mianmian looked at Shi Su and Ji Han in confusion again.

Shi Su didn’t dare to speak badly about Mr. Jing behind his back, couldn’t join Mrs. Jing in criticizing him, and couldn’t praise him either, so she left this dilemma to Ji Han.

Ji Han said, "Mianmian, let’s focus on having breakfast first."

"Mm-hmm!" Mianmian obediently replied, "You eat too, great-grandma!"

"Okay, great-grandma’s little treasure is really so well-behaved." Even when eating, Mrs. Jing couldn’t take her eyes off Mianmian, and from last night to now, she seemed ten years younger, truly radiant.

After breakfast, while Mianmian and the old lady went to play in the yard, Shi Su remembered to ask about Mrs. Jing: "Why haven’t we ever met grandma before? I heard her mention something about just returning, was she not in the country all this time?"

Ji Han appeared calm: "In the past, the old man was even more stubborn than he is now. The two of them argued their entire lives, and when they got older, it was grandma who couldn’t take it anymore. She got a divorce and moved to Singapore, hasn’t returned for almost twenty years."

Twenty years?

Shi Su couldn’t help but calculate, which meant Mrs. Jing was in her sixties when she divorced Mr. Jing.

They had almost spent their entire lives together, but Mr. Jing only got more stubborn and irritating with age, so Mrs. Jing couldn’t stand it and moved abroad?

"Don’t be fooled by grandma’s age. Her mindset and attitude are more independent and carefree than many young girls nowadays." Shi Su said sincerely.

Ji Han glanced at her: "Are you envious?"

"Not really since I’ve always been pretty carefree and independent myself." Shi Su made sure to boast.

Ji Han laughed, looked at her for a long time, then suddenly extended his long arm and pulled her into his embrace: "Crying alone in the old house is your carefree way?"

There was a moment of silence in the air.

As expected.

"Shi Mianmian, that little brat!" She sold me out!

Shi Su grinded her teeth and tried to turn away from his embrace to go after Shi Mianmian for this account.

The man smiled as he pulled her back: "Why the rush?"

"I didn’t run!"

Shi Su stubbornly turned her head, refusing to look at him.

But she worried hiding for too long might make her seem like she’s being coy, so she couldn’t help but secretly glance back, only to see Ji Han’s relaxed eyebrows slightly raised, as if waiting for her to lose patience and look at him.

"Ahem." Shi Su raised her hand to touch her nose, hoping he’d quickly forget this episode, so she changed the topic with a Q&A session in Mrs. Jing’s estate.

"When you found out seven years ago that the woman was me and Mianmian was your daughter, what was your first thought and plan?"

"To marry you."

"Did you want to marry me so quickly because of responsibility?"

"If you hadn’t run away two years ago, you’d already be Mrs. Jing by now. Responsibility or love, don’t you know in your heart?"

"..."

How did he turn this into a counter-question?

Even though she knew the answer, hearing it directly from Ji Han made her have an internal surge of pride.

"What if, the woman seven years ago wasn’t me, but some other woman... um... assaulted you..."

"There’s no what if."

"I’m just saying, hypothetically, what if it weren’t so coincidental, what if it was another woman..."

"I’d strangle her."

"......"

Shi Su instinctively felt a chill on her neck, raising her hand to touch it while noticing Ji Han’s look of "silence" after hearing the word "assault," which made her shudder slightly.
