CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: WHO EXACTLY IS THIS MYSTERIOUS PERSON

EDITOR: ATLAS STUDIOS

Jing Jihan glanced at her expressionlessly, without answering.

Only then did Shi Su realize that her phone seemed to still be ringing. She quickly picked up the phone to answer: "Hello?"

Jun on the other end of the phone asked: "Finally willing to answer my call? I called you several times yesterday and you didn’t pick up. I even went to your house and knocked on the door, but you wouldn’t let me in. If you don’t answer my call today, I might have to find someone to pick the lock!"

Shi Su raised her hand to rub her forehead, trying hard to regain some clarity: "Yesterday? You called me? And came to my house?"

"I went to see you yesterday afternoon, and knocked on the door for a long time. Your phone was ringing inside a few times. You dare say you weren’t home?"

Shi Su: "...When I went out yesterday afternoon, I didn’t bring my phone. I was just about to leave when I found that my phone was out of battery, so I left it home to charge and then went out to pick up Mianmian. Later, I went to the supermarket to buy some things."

Jun on the other side was so angry she rolled her eyes: "So, you don’t know anything?"

So from yesterday until now, amidst those life-threatening calls from the film company and all the heart-attack-inducing things, Shi Su was at home reading scripts all day and hadn’t contacted anyone, knowing nothing at all!

Jun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But she breathed a sigh of relief.

Not knowing is better.

Anyway, there wasn’t any change, although no one knows what kind of madness the film company and Mr. Chen were up to.

-

Although Jun never explicitly said it, Shi Su, being an adult, couldn’t miss the tension in Jun’s words at the time. After two days of probing indirectly, she learned some of the backstory.

But since Four Seas Entertainment wanted to push someone in, logically she shouldn’t have been able to keep this role.

But why did the news she got say someone wanted to keep her in it?

She racked her brains but couldn’t figure out among the people she knew who could have such clout, actually making a company like Four Seas Entertainment, a tyrant in the entertainment industry, back down.

She asked Jun, Jun didn’t know, and when Jun asked her, she was even more clueless.

Who on earth could it be?

-

Jiang City, in the old residence of the Jing Family.

Jing Luozhou, locked at home by Mr. Jing, boredly called Jing Jihan.

It was rare, but today Jing Jihan actually answered.

"What’s up?" Jing Jihan’s voice was low and slightly cold, suspecting this call wouldn’t be anything serious, but since he wasn’t at the Jing Family house, considering the recent poor health of Mr. Jing and the complicated matters at the company, there could be emergencies. Seeing the call, he didn’t reject it.

As expected, Jing Luozhou said something useless: "Bro, when do you plan to come back?"

"Want me to come back to divert Mr. Jing’s attention, so he won’t be scolding you alone every day?"

Jing Luozhou: "..."

He coughed: "I’m just eager to see my sister-in-law. You said you have a woman outside and didn’t mention a word to the family. Grandpa’s been looking forward to it for so long. So, when are you bringing sister-in-law back home, bro?"

Before Jing Jihan could respond, an aged yet robust voice suddenly sounded at the door: "What sister-in-law?"

Sitting cross-legged making the phone call, Jing Luozhou quickly sat up straight: "...Grandpa?"

On the other end of the phone, before he had time to explain, Jing Jihan’s eyelid twitched violently: "..."

Mr. Jing walked in with his cane, looking at the nervous-faced Jing Luozhou: "You brat, talking to your brother?"

Jing Luozhou: "Uh... yes..."

"The sister-in-law you just mentioned, do you mean what I think you mean?"

Jing Luozhou swallowed, feeling that because Mr. Jing hadn’t seen Jing Jihan recently, he was finding him, who was being a bit idle, more and more unpleasant. He feared the cane could be aimed at him at any time.

He suddenly let out a hearty laugh, didn’t hang up the phone, and said with bright laughter directly: "Yes, I have a sister-in-law now!"

On the other end of the call, Jing Jihan closed his eyes and warned in a harsh voice: "Jing Luozhou!"

Anyway, since his brother was not beside him now, he couldn’t get to him for now, and the threat of the cane seemed greater, Jing Luozhou directly moved the phone away from his ear, as if ignoring Jing Jihan’s piercing gaze from the other side, smiling cheerfully at Mr. Jing: "Grandpa, my brother already has someone outside, you’ll soon have a great-grandchild!"

Mr. Jing was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Really, really!" Jing Luozhou swore by the lamp and resolutely hung up the phone.

Jing Jihan: "........."
