Chapter 486: Chapter 486 - 480: Shi Su’s Husband!

This place was in the Shi Family’s backyard by the lotus pond, at the innermost side of the corridor. Under normal circumstances, no one would pass by here, especially now that the family was all gathered at the ancestral hall, accompanying Mr. Shi, who could pass away at any moment. Everyone was keeping watch over the ever-unstable imperial capital business circle situation. Who would come here to pay attention to a few children playing around?

The three girls shouted for a long time without seeing anyone, only to spot a tall, handsome-looking man walking into the door just kicked open by Shi Su.

Upon seeing a man, they immediately acted as if they had seen a savior, crying miserably: "Help, help! The Shi Family’s young lady is hitting people..."

However, the particularly handsome man did not move at all, as if he hadn’t heard a thing, completely indifferent in extreme ways.

Shi Su also didn’t look toward the door, nor did she care if Jing Jihan was present. She couldn’t suppress her anger now, and looked down at the three crying girls sitting in the snow: "In my life, what I hate most are bullies like you. Each of you looks gorgeous like flowers, but since young, you’ve never developed a good heart. When grown, you’re not good people either. Mixing in the capital with faces known, you really think you’re someone important? Do you know why you followed your parents here to the Shi Family today? Which one of them isn’t here out of respect for Mr. Shi and the Shi Family? If your parents knew that you guys were bullying the Shi Family’s people, what would happen?"

"She is not from the Shi Family. Although her name is Shi Yuan, her mother is simply..."

"Don’t care who she is. As long as she has been brought into the Shi Family and has the surname Shi, she is part of this family. No matter how thin her relationship with relatives may be, outsiders like you have no right to bully or scold her." Shi Su coldly looked down at the girl in the middle. If it weren’t for being a few years older than these kids, she would probably directly ride on them and scratch without a care for appearance.

Her biggest regret now was appearing too weak when young at the Shi Family in Jiang City, repeatedly bullied by Shi Yunyin and her mother. At the time, she should not have been so patient; she should have fought back, resisted!

The more a person shows weakness, the more they will be pressed down until even struggling must be done cautiously.

Just now, seeing the girl named Shi Yuan squatting in the corner and taking the hits and scolds, her anger erupted, burning away her reason completely.

If it weren’t for these children being quite young, she really would have lashed out and beaten all three, then handed them over to their parents.

"You even knew to take people to the back where no one would notice to bully, knowing full well that if discovered, you wouldn’t end up well." Shi Su looked down at them, saying: "Do you want me to personally take you to meet your parents? Where are they now? At the ancestral hall? Or in the front hall of the Shi Family?"

She stepped forward as she spoke, reaching out to pull the middle girl up.

The girl quickly backed away in fright but still defiantly glared at Shi Su: "Shi Su, you’re Mr. Shi’s granddaughter, but aren’t you also an illegitimate child? You have no right to be arrogant or complacent. Even if this escalates to the elders, it might not end well! After all, your mother never officially married into the Shi Family; she doesn’t even have a name here! Shamelessly giving birth to a daughter like you, I think you’re no different from Shi Yuan, both bastards... ah—"

Shi Su abruptly pulled her over, half lifting her, then raised her hand and slapped her.

This slap was so solid that the crisp sound of "slap" echoed back in the empty cold backyard corridor.

The other two girls were alarmed, watching as Shi Su forcefully threw the girl directly against the wall, pinning her in the corner and preparing to slap her again. The two other girls turned back to plead for help from the handsome man at the door.

"Help... save us..."

The girl pushed hard against the wall by Shi Su did not expect this and raised her face in shock and pain. Her face was already covered with bright red marks, surpassing those on Shi Yuan’s face.

The girl parted her slightly cracked lips, incredulously glaring at Shi Su in front of her: "You dare hit me—"

"Slap!" Another sound echoed as Shi Su backhanded her again.

Shi Su looked down at her, expressionless, her eyes dark and lacking warmth: "Didn’t your parents teach you how to speak?"

The girl’s head was whipped around by Shi Su’s slap, her vision swirling, face burning with pain accompanied by a buzzing in her head.

In rage, she turned back to curse: "You damn—"

Shi Su swung another slap mercilessly, the third one landing hard.

The girl fell completely to the ground, collapsing at the foot of the wall, lifting her eyes in horror towards Shi Su.

All around was quiet.

Shi Su squatted down, looking at her closely, calmly narrowing her eyes: "You enjoy being foul-mouthed? Keep talking, keep cursing."

Meanwhile, she casually slid her phone from her sleeve, showing the recording interface on the screen: "I don’t mind making the fact that I personally hit you public. Do you think I’d be afraid of you going to others to report deceitfully? Your aunt, I’m in showbiz; it’s a habit to leave reasonable evidence before acting. Every word you said, every sound will be delivered to your family. You bullied the Shi Family girl, insulted my mother, behaved vilely; none of it will be hidden in this little corner of the backyard. Do you really think you can run out and report deceitfully?"

The girl raised her head, seeing that indeed Shi Su’s phone screen had been recording for a long time. Her complexion turned pale at once, biting her lip hard, tears falling instantly, looking for help toward the man who had long been standing silently nearby.

Jing Jihan held Shi Su’s knitted scarf, standing at the corridor’s red door end, watching the drama as if enjoying it, showing no intention of intervening.

"Who are you looking at?" Shi Su lowered her eyes coldly at the girl, nodding toward Shi Yuan still standing bewildered in the corner: "Apologize to her."

The girl refused to apologize, relying on her age, looks, and pity. She still desperately sought help from Jing Jihan with mouth gestures: "Help me..."

Nevertheless, the man wearing an iron-gray coat, handsome, elegant, tall and straigh-backed, in the hopeful gaze of the three girls suddenly walked over, casually took off his coat and draped it over Shi Su, then gently and calmly, patiently, wrapped the scarf around her neck: "Dress warmly before teaching others a lesson, don’t get cold."

The three girls looked in surprise between Shi Su and the indifferent, aloof man, suddenly realizing in an instant, their faces instantly filled with terror.

He was Jing Jihan!
