CHAPTER 248: CHAPTER 245: THE DEEPEST HIDDEN SECRET

Shi Su had already gone to the second floor, not looking back.

Although Chu Jiu followed behind in silence, she was still fuming, tearing a piece of paper into several pieces, as if wishing it were Xue Ling herself.

"I just treat it as a dog barking, didn’t take it to heart, don’t be angry." Shi Su comforted.

"I think she’s filthy, dirtier than anyone, pretending to be a white lotus." Chu Jiu rolled her eyes, angrily drank a big gulp of tea in the lounge: "She just wants to climb high branches, but Mr. Yi wouldn’t even look at her! The disdain in his eyes was almost as clear as X-rays. She really thinks highly of herself!"

Shi Su rubbed her temples.

-

Outside the main entrance of Jiuyin Small Building, there was only one person in the black Bentley, a refined and upright man got out of the car, the winter sunlight filtered through the sparse branches on the roadside, falling like shattered gold on his shoulders.

At the same time, Wen Ke happened to come over, bringing Shi Su a pepper spray for self-defense. She had a mission here today, Shi Su’s press conference was nearby, Shi Su had just mentioned on WeChat that she would wait for her at Jiuyin Small Building.

Before arriving, Wen Ke received a call from Jing Jihan and incidentally reported the location to him.

"Mr. Jing." Wen Ke greeted respectfully as she approached the Bentley.

Jing Jihan glanced at her: "Is she here?"

Wen Ke nodded: "She just held a press conference at the hotel across the street, now she’s here waiting for her manager."

Jing Jihan walked directly inside, catching sight of Yi City’s solitary figure.

Yi City also noticed him.

When their eyes met, upon seeing Jing Jihan, Yi City’s latent anger caused by Xue Ling nearly erupted instantaneously.

"Mr. Jing." Yi City greeted with the superficial politeness often seen between businessmen, but his gaze was notably unsociable.

Jing Jihan remained impassive, his eyes carrying a detached coldness, as if everything around was nothing, he didn’t respond, only asked Wen Ke beside him: "Which floor is Shi Su on?"

Hearing this, Yi City’s face froze momentarily, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Alongside him, Xue Ling, who always pestered relentlessly, was shocked into silence.

Jing Jihan himself, even if he usually didn’t appear in front of the media, was a man dreamt of by many women both inside and outside the circle; even if he’d turned to ash, she’d recognize him.

Especially since Yi City had called out "Mr. Jing."

The man before her, his gaze clear, his presence understated yet enveloped in a chilling sense of distance, his expression cold; from shirt to coat, he embodied a reserved coolness, even the veins on the back of his hand radiated an intimidating aloofness.

Yet, this Mr. Jing, difficult to even catch a glimpse of, had come here to find Shi Su?

Wen Ke went to the reception desk, inquired with the staff, then turned to say: "She’s in the lounge on the second floor, but has instructed not to be disturbed, there might be other studio members in the lounge as well, I’ll call her first."

Jing Jihan remained silent but apparently willing to wait patiently.

Xue Ling watched in shock, opened her mouth yet struggled to utter a word.

Would Jing Jihan wait patiently just to see Shi Su?

What is Shi Su’s relationship with him?

Xue Ling, daringly, wanted to ask, but was suddenly dragged out by Yi City, stumbling out of Jiuyin Small Building: "Ah... Mr. Yi, what are you doing..."

Ignoring the commotion outside, Wen Ke called Shi Su, she didn’t answer the first time but finally picked up on the second call.

After inquiring, Wen Ke paused, then looked at Jing Jihan with a complex expression.

Seeing Wen Ke’s gaze, Jing Jihan’s composed eyebrows moved slightly: "Where is she?"

Wen Ke: "...She ran away."

Jing Jihan’s brow twitched, his voice wrapped in a hint of coldness: "Ran away?"

Wen Ke: "Yes."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly: "What happened?"

"I’m not sure, as far as I know, Shi Su rarely displays immature emotions, and seldom loses her temper, usually she’s quite easygoing... perhaps Mr. Jing you should call her and ask?"

Jing Jihan took out his phone without any expression, turning the screen to show her.

All the calls he made to Shi Su were ignored, evidently blocked, he then showed her his messages on WeChat, next to which was a red exclamation mark.

The message in the gray box said: Su has enabled friend verification, you are not his (her) friend yet, please send a friend request, only after the other party verifies can you chat.

What’s this?

Mr. Jing’s WeChat was also blocked by Shi Su?

Wen Ke: "......"

...

The situation was, Shi Su was resting in the lounge on the second floor, preparing to wait for Jun after the meeting, but her head hurt, so she opened the window for some fresh air.

Standing by the window, she saw Jing Jihan’s car, then saw him get out.

Even though she saw Wen Ke had arrived, she immediately chose to find the stairs leading to the back door of Jiuyin Small Building on the second floor and left directly.

She initially didn’t want to take the call, but since Wen Ke hadn’t done anything wrong, she answered and told Wen Ke she was leaving, without explaining why, she hung up and left with Chu Jiu in a taxi.

Chu Jiu looked puzzled: "Shi Su, why are we suddenly running away?"

Shi Su kept massaging her temples, her head aching terribly, not explaining anything along the way.

She didn’t want to see him.

No other reason.

Decisiveness, there’s nothing wrong with that.

－

Xue Ling was taken out of Jiuyin Small Building by Yi City. She wanted to get into his car but was met with the word "Get lost" by Yi City.

Until Yi City’s car sped away, Xue Ling was still stunned, incredulous.

It’s said that Yi City of Four Seas Entertainment is an absolutely gentle and classy man, for years always like this with Shi Yunyin, many female stars in the circle envied them, finally when their engagement was called off, numerous women coveted the position of Four Seas Entertainment’s chairman’s wife, wanting to climb into his bed, never in short supply.

At least last night, at that social gathering, Yi City didn’t allow any woman to sit next to him, but seeing her, he relaxed somewhat, she was allowed to sit beside him, she accompanied him for a few drinks, later she took the chance to lean on his shoulder, he paused but didn’t push her away.

Rarely seeing Mr. Yi drunk, Xue Ling wanted to use this opportunity to climb up.

She dragged him to a suite at Jiuyin Small Building, had him bathe and undress, yet Yi City didn’t even kiss her, only told her to leave impatiently with a headache.

At that moment, Xue Ling felt especially vexed and humiliated, so straightforward she undressed and fabricated a drunken and chaotic scene for when they awoke.

But when she scattered their clothes on the floor, she suddenly saw a wallet fall from Yi City’s pocket.

The wallet dropped to the ground.

Xue Ling picked it up and discovered the deepest secret of this Four Seas Entertainment’s chairman.
