CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: WHEN DID JING JIHAN FEEL MORTAL AFFECTION?

EDITOR: ATLAS STUDIOS

Shi Su, avoiding the wind outside all day, received a cup of hot water and a clean blanket in the lounge inside the venue.

Generally, such venues are rather simple and most stars don’t rest here; they usually go back to their own RVs.

With no one else in the lounge, Shi Su enjoyed the quiet, sipping hot water while reading the script.

After an hour, she picked up her phone, looked at it, and suddenly remembered something and checked it.

Strange, the car she took earlier, why didn’t the driver charge her? There’s no indication of an automatic deduction here?

Did their car service platform make a mistake? Not only did they send a car that was obviously luxurious, but also forgot to deduct the fare?

How could there be such a bizarre mistake...

"Who’s playing the second female lead, Tian Yuli? Come over, we’re doing pressure testing and trying out the moves!" someone suddenly shouted outside.

Shi Su quickly put down what she had in her hands, got up, and walked out of the lounge.

-

Jing Luozhou was really curious about who his brother had the driver pick up, so he called Jing Jihan, but found he wasn’t answering. He had to call driver Hu instead.

Hu, unaware of any situation, answered honestly that it was a young, pretty girl who seemed to be rushing to some film crew.

?!

Jing Luozhou felt as if he’d heard some big news!

Isn’t his brother known for being distant from women?

It’s widely known how indifferent and impatient Jing Jihan is towards women.

Usually, those big and small female celebrities who have no chance to meet him, and even the daughters of families with clear and noble backgrounds find it nearly impossible to see him, let alone speak a word to him.

Yet his ascetic brother, who is almost a monk in abstinence, specifically called this morning asking him to send a car to pick someone up.

And it turns out to be a woman? One from the entertainment industry?

Whoa?

When did Jing Jihan get interested in such affairs? Could it have been before any incidents happened, he was already hiding a beauty somewhere?

No wonder he hasn’t come back, doesn’t need help. Is he truly enjoying the tender love of a woman somewhere?

The old man used to constantly talk about wanting a great-grandchild, but Jing Jihan seemed allergic to women, and even the daughters of renowned families who were close to the Jing Family couldn’t even get a personal meeting with him.

The old man was vexed, so in the end, he pinned his hopes on his second grandson, who lived carefreely, either racing cars or locked up in the lab at the medical school with no time for grandchildren.

With the Jing Family sustained by Jing Jihan, Jing Luozhou had long been resisting the heavy pressures of going into business, while shirking the family legacy burden; hoping for him to carry on the lineage was even less realistic.

Now things seem to be different.

Jing Jihan actually opened up!

His brother actually has a woman?!

-

Jing Jihan picked up his phone and saw six or seven missed calls, all from Jing Luozhou.

It was inconvenient for him to make calls here, his phone was set to silent, so naturally, he hadn’t heard them.

Knowing the kid well and familiar with the current state of the Jing Family, he knew there was no urgent matter, so he didn’t bother contacting him.

At that moment, a text from Jing Luozhou came directly through: [Brother, do you have a woman?]

Before putting down the phone, Jing Jihan saw the message and replied with a blank expression: [?]

Jing Luozhou: [Who did you have me send the car to pick up this morning? It’s said to be a woman? Really pretty? What stage have things reached? Is there hope for Grandpa to have a great-grandchild this year?]

Jing Jihan: "..."

Continuing his expressionless responses: [You’re overthinking.]

After pressing send, he directly turned off the screen, tossed the phone into the drawer, and stopped paying attention to Jing Luozhou’s endless follow-up questions.
