Chapter 444: Chapter 444 - 438: He Almost Wrote “Protecting My Beloved Wife” Across His Face

If you don’t really understand the complex network of the Jing Family, it’s indeed easy to get confused.

The so-called person who’s known since childhood that she would stand by Jing Jihan’s side could actually seem like a fiancée arranged by the family to outsiders.

Jing Sixue also hoped unilaterally that Jing Jihan wouldn’t respond to this matter again, or that he would be "too lazy" to respond again.

After all, he doesn’t have a Weibo account himself, and their company’s official Weibo has always maintained a decent style. She doesn’t believe he will continue to use the official channel of the Yuji Group’s official Weibo to repeatedly clarify for Shi Su.

Moreover, these online rumors are unfounded matters. What she said didn’t contain any defamation or fabrication, simply leaving room for a lot of people to speculate.

Before returning to the bedroom, Jing Jihan noticed that Shi Su was standing still with her phone, looking quite upset, as if a match suddenly struck somewhere, opening the box she had hidden deep inside, releasing something with a fiery aura.

She lifted her eyes to look at him but didn’t speak, evidently holding back and keeping her emotions in check.

Jing Jihan unhesitatingly grabbed the phone from her palm, opened it, and saw the screenshots that Jun sent her displayed on the screen.

Shi Su didn’t stop him. In those seconds after Jing Jihan finished looking at the screenshots, it felt excruciatingly long for her, like several hours had passed.

The man’s gaze was fixed on her phone, and the warmth had dissipated. Shi Su didn’t know what he would say or do, though Mianmian was indeed their daughter. The child didn’t need to be explained to anyone outside, but if her existence was wantonly slandered, it would indeed act as a fuse for Shi Su and make her outrage.

It’s okay to spread rumors about her, but not Mianmian. Defaming her daughter’s entire positive presence was unacceptable!

Shi Su stood by the side, looking at the phone’s screen: "I thought Jing Sixue was just a young girl secretly in love with you, at most feeling unhappy and would go to your parents to cry in grievance. In the future, if I saw her again in the Jing Family, she wouldn’t show me a friendly face at best, that’s all. But I didn’t expect her to target a six-year-old child, aiming to shift all the conflicts onto the child."

Jing Jihan didn’t speak. The next second, he seemed to disregard the screenshots as if they were nothing and handed the phone back to her, pulling Shi Su’s hand straight back to the bedroom.

I’ll handle this. You go take a bath." After entering the room, Jing Jihan nodded towards the direction of the bathroom with his chin while picking up his own phone.

Actually, if Shi Su wanted to confront it directly, she had a lot of legitimate ways to clarify the rumors.

But since Jing Sixue is the adopted daughter of Jing Jihan’s parents, at least she carries the Jing surname. Although she isn’t a true sister-in-law in Shi Su’s eyes, due to Jing Jihan’s parents’ face, she couldn’t impulsively target her or directly start a fight on Weibo. This matter couldn’t bypass Jing Jihan, so it was indeed best to leave it to him to handle.

But she also didn’t want Jing Jihan to use their company’s official Weibo again. Although the official channel is more authoritative, she didn’t want it to affect the image of their company’s Weibo, originally a corporate account personally followed by CCTV News. If it kept stepping out because of her issues, she herself would also find it unreasonable. There should be a balance between public and private matters, after all.

Shi Su entered the bathroom; there were too many things these past two days. Although they developed in a good direction, she was indeed a bit tired, and soaking in a bath was the best choice.

Sitting in a spacious bathtub, the water temperature was consistent and extremely comfortable.

She squinted her eyes, found a comfortable position to lean on, and then took her phone to glance at the chat content between Jun and other staff in the group, which mostly consisted of positive PR articles arranged by Jun and Miss Chen.

What she had seen earlier was just some screenshots. Now she opened Weibo and took a few glances. The popularity of the little squirrel account associated with Jing Jihan was rising rapidly. Indeed, as those marketing accounts said, anything related to Jing Jihan and Shi Su, any person or topic, the traffic would skyrocket. Although Jing Jihan wasn’t in the circle, precisely because of his status, mystery, and external image, they were all captivating factors, causing the topic to far exceed first-tier traffic, which wasn’t surprising at all.

Searching the square for the keyword, probably at this moment, someone on the orchestrating side had let the bot army loose, and upon opening the discussion, all of it was emphasizing that Jing Jihan might really have a fiancée, and Shi Su had used some means to climb up. Considering Shi Su was so young with a six-year-old child, every aspect was leading to speculation designed to drive the tempo.

Among the passersby, there were already quite a few suspicious voices. Indeed, many were questioning whether Shi Su was truly involved as a mistress with that little squirrel.

After all, there were photos of her with Jing Jihan’s parents in the United Kingdom, making them look very much like a family.

Shi Su considered for a moment, although she was unable to directly bypass this layer because of the face of Jing Jihan’s parents, it didn’t mean she couldn’t clarify the rumor herself.

Since the matter involved Mianmian, her big knife was already hard to hold back from, blazing forward.

So, when everyone was wondering if once again Shi Su would not respond like before, suddenly they saw her reposting an ancient little story on her Weibo.

The little story told of an ancient couple who had just become husband and wife, and their relationship was very good. Two months later, the wife became pregnant, but was slandered by her sister-in-law, who accused her of having an affair with a young servant at home, claiming the child she carried was suspicious. Eventually, forced by the continuous defamation efforts of the sister-in-law, the wife aborted the child, and a few days later swallowed gold to end her life with resentment and grief. Due to the tragic cause of death, the authorities got involved and discovered that the so-called sister-in-law was actually the adopted daughter in the man’s family, rather than a biological sister. The young lady harbored feelings towards her brother and, resenting her sister-in-law, subjected her to evil tactics, unable to bear the couple’s happy relationship.

Shi Su merely reposted this story, uttering not a single word beyond it. But, precisely because she always maintained calm towards these rumors and scandals, never impetuous like many actresses who stand out to say meaningless words, including days ago when she merely sarcastically addressed the authenticity of those rumors.

At this point, her sudden reposting of this little story perfectly mirrored and reflected the actions of the little squirrel associated with Jing Jihan.

Immediately, the comment, repost, and reading volume on Shi Su’s Weibo skyrocketed sharply, with endless disputes in the comments.

Shi Su leaned against the bathtub, just as she was planning to check the comments on Jing Sixue’s Weibo, suddenly, she noticed the Weibo notification numbers were increasing faster and shockingly more intense than before.

She couldn’t help but exit before going back in to take a look, only to find in the comments, which kept mentioning who liked her Weibo post, and after scrolling through dozens of them, she realized those comments were actually saying that Jing Jihan had instantly registered and verified a Weibo account. His first act of being on Weibo was to like the little story she had just reposted.

And yet, it was only a bathroom door apart...

That fast?!

Shi Su hurriedly scrolled through and indeed saw that on Jing Jihan’s newly verified Weibo account, it showed a like on the little story she had just reposted.

No one would have thought that after so many years, adhering to maintaining distance and a cool mysterious aura, the president of Yu Jing Group would suddenly use something like Weibo, and the first thing appearing showed liking Shi Su’s Weibo, just short of having "protective husband" plastered on his face!
