CHAPTER 258: CHAPTER 255: WILL THE SUGAR DADDY EAT PEOPLE?

The senior executives of Yu Jing Group on the other end of the video were so shocked that their jaws were almost dropping. If it weren’t for being in the company’s meeting room and having Mr. Jing presiding over the meeting, this group of executives, usually focused solely on their jobs, would have gathered around to discuss this explosive gossip.

There’s actually a woman in Mr. Jing’s room!

Who can believe that?

Could it really be that the old iron tree has finally blossomed? Although that lady just now quickly dodged out of sight, why does she look somewhat familiar?

One of the executives thought of his little daughter at home, who was watching a TV show on her iPad last night. There was a very beautiful actress in it, could it be...?

Shi Su didn’t expect that the group of suit-wearing men on the other end of the video would get the wrong idea because of Jing Jihan’s seemingly indifferent remark, but she instinctively pressed the mute button above the laptop’s microphone to block out the sound and said, "The fever’s gone down, feeling much better now. You have to get out of bed and move a bit, lying down all the time makes your back sore. I just peeled a grapefruit, you should have some."

Jing Jihan glanced at the plate of fruit, the grapefruit flesh peeled cleanly by her.

"Mm, leave it there, I’ll eat it later."

"Then go ahead with your work. I didn’t notice the camera was facing the study door earlier. If it caused any misunderstanding, explain it. I’m going out now." Shi Su finished speaking, her gaze moved away from the various curious eyes on the computer screen, turned around and swiftly slipped out.

Jing Jihan was indeed busy, he didn’t hold her back. Instead, he casually picked up a piece of grapefruit and tasted it, then glanced at the screen displaying various reactions, "What are you standing there for? Continue."

The company executives opposite him: "..."

Mr. Jing seems to be in a good mood?

The atmosphere in the meeting became inexplicably relaxed, though Jing Jihan didn’t show too much emotion as usual, remaining calm and composed in meetings, as was his norm.

However, Mr. Jing, who was always disciplined and focused during meetings, rarely taking calls, was at this moment occasionally eating grapefruit while conducting the meeting.

This scene... hmm...

Could definitely be recorded in the Yu Jing Group’s annals.

Shi Su returned to the living room, sat down, and picked up her phone to check the chat records in the small three-person group, her lips curling into a slight smile.

Chu Jiu: [Shi Su, you’ve been disappearing a lot lately, my little heart can barely take it. Does a heart attack count as a work injury, huh, sis? @Jun]

Jun: [?]

Jun: [This counts as disappearing? Isn’t she being taken away by the sugar daddy?]

Chu Jiu: [Who knows if the sugar daddy might eat people... (shocked cat face.jpg)]

Jun: [Such a pity that the gossip from the celebration party last night got suppressed. How I wish we could gather everyone to partake in the PDA feast.]

Chu Jiu: [Yeah, I thought Shi Su would be trending today. Who would’ve thought it’d be so calm, not a peep of news.]

Jun: [If Shi Yunyin dared to spread malicious rumors, Mr. Jing definitely wouldn’t suppress the news. He merely keeps a low profile to protect Shi Su from being a target. Mr. Jing proposed in public, what’s there to worry about Shi Yunyin using Mr. Yi’s matter against Shi Su? Shi Su is the woman pursued by Mr. Jing, where does Yi City have a chance to interject?]

Chu Jiu: [@Su, Shi Su, when are you going public with Mr. Jing? Can I eat wedding candy soon?]

Jun: [@Su, when are you marrying and becoming Mrs. Jing? Then we can walk with swagger when out, right?]

Shi Su replied on her phone—

Shi Su: [@Jun, you used to call him a pretty boy.]

Shi Su: [@Chu Jiu, didn’t you say I shouldn’t date because I’m still in the rising phase?]

Jun: [That was a misunderstanding. Mr. Jing is such an exceptional man, just seeing his profile, I knew he was not simple. Didn’t I praise him before?]

Chu Jiu: [You have to choose who you date, that’s Jing Jihan!]

Chu Jiu again sent three repetitive messages:

[That’s Jing Jihan!]

[That’s Jing Jihan!!]

[That’s Jing Jihan!!!]

Shi Su: [...]

Jun: [@Su, what’s up with yesterday? A cold? Fever? Seen a doctor?]

Shi Su: [Mm.]

Jun: [Did Mr. Jing take you to the hospital?]

Shi Su: [Mm, I’m at his place now.]

Jun: [?]

Chu Jiu: [?]

Jun: [Freely scattering PDA in the group without warning, red card warning once, next time directly booted from the group.]

Chu Jiu: [Exactly!]

Shi Su raised her eyebrows, suddenly and unusually took a selfie, in which her hair was wrapped in a towel, wearing her own pajamas, looking cozy and comfortable and much healthier than yesterday.

She just wanted them to know she was in good shape, so she sent the selfie into the group.

Shi Su: [(photo)]

Jun and Chu Jiu were silent for over ten seconds, and then Shi Su suddenly received a notification message: [You have been removed from the group chat.]

Shi Su: "???"

Shortly after being kicked out, Jun added her back into the group.

Returning to the three-person group, Shi Su furiously questioned: [Why kick me? My first selfie! Is it really so unbearable for you?!]

Jun: [Even with Jing Jihan as your golden-leg daddy, my future work will be much easier, maybe even walk with arrogance, but flaunting your romance secretly is simply intolerable!]

Chu Jiu: [Exactly!]

Shi Su: [Where am I flaunting my romance?]

Jun: [Your lips are very red, one can tell you’ve been kissed.]

Chu Jiu, the repeating machine: [Exactly!]

Shi Su: "..."

She quickly opened her selfie camera to look at her face.

Is, is it really that obvious?

Her lip color is usually decent, not very red at all. During a fever, the lips might be slightly redder, how did they deduce that she’d been kissed?

After staring for a while, she could not figure it out.

Opening the WeChat to check the group—

Jun: [She’s speechless now, confirmed. (smirk)]

Chu Jiu: [(blush)(cover face)(flirt) Maybe not just kissed, they probably went all the way!]

Chu Jiu: [But Shi Su is still sick, Mr. Jing is too unkind. Shi Su, are you alright? Can you still get out of bed? @Su]

Jun: [What a man, seeing Shi Su’s pitiful appearance yesterday, if it were me, I couldn’t hold back either. If you really can’t get out of bed, I’ll grant you two more days off. Anyway, Tong Yuanyuan is also on leave, both female leads on vacation, that’s fair. @Su]

Shi Su: [I’m at Jing Jihan’s place, he might check my phone anytime, are you sure you want to continue like this?]

[Jun retracted a message]

[Chu Jiu retracted two messages]

Shi Su: "...?"

I must admit, this trick worked quite well.

At least the subsequent conversation aligned perfectly with the principles of positive energy harmonious values, rather than focusing on whether Shi Su could get out of bed.
