Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Jing Jihan and Shi Su?!
"Mr. Yi, such a beauty shouldn’t be enjoyed alone, let’s exchange dance partners." Jing Jihan’s voice was chilly, but without any semblance of giving face as he greeted, directly taking the unresponsive Shi Su away from them for several steps.
Watching the beauty in his arms being taken over, with a stranger forcibly handed to him, Yi City’s face remained impassive, but his eyes had instantly turned cold.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Shi Su being taken away by Jing Jihan, who had appeared out of nowhere, to a distance.
By the time Shi Su finally understood the situation unfolding before her, she had already been completely taken away from the scene, almost by the edge of the dance floor, ready to escape this thronging crowd at any moment.
She raised her eyes, looking at the man before her in surprise, "Why are you here...?"
She hadn’t even finished speaking when she suddenly felt the undeniable force of his hand on her waist, making her clearly sense the displeasure of the financial backer at this moment.
Shi Su immediately fell silent, instinctively wanting to look back in Yi City’s direction, the grip on her waist making her feel a slight hint of pain.
Reluctantly, she looked up at him again, "Why are you pinching me?"
Jing Jihan’s expression was as cold as water, looking at her still somewhat bewildered and not yet recovered expression, "So reluctant to part?"
Reluctant my foot!
She was just curious to see which unlucky girl was being used as a tool by Jing Jihan.
Jing Jihan apparently didn’t intend to be on display in such a place. From the moment he entered the dance floor to leaving, it didn’t take more than ten minutes, concluding right on the spot, taking Shi Su along with him.
The people in the crowd hadn’t even gotten a clear view of the dance floor scene, from the beginning to the end they never really understood what had happened.
Yi City had already stopped all actions, apologetically nodding to the embarrassed director’s daughter in his arms, then turned to look in the direction Shi Su had left.
No wonder Four Seas Entertainment and Yu Jing Group have never had any dealings. He himself had never had any contact with Jing Jihan, neither directly nor indirectly, nor had he ever offended Jing Jihan, yet Yu Jing Group kept quietly intervening in matters related to Shi Su, and even on that rare day, Jing Jihan’s attitude was so distant, even to the point of giving no face and coldness.
Remembering just now Jing Jihan’s unceremonious actions, and Shi Su’s previously perplexed but obedient demeanor as she was led away from the scene.
Some things that were previously unclear, finally became clear.
-
In the restroom on the second floor of the banquet hall, a few gossipy socialites who had a rare chance to be close to the dance floor were now full of bizarre gossip material.
The discussion grew increasingly intense.
"Did I see that right? Was it really Mr. Jing? The rumored Jing Jihan?"
"This is the first time I’ve seen him in person at such an event, just three meters away, he looks even more handsome than the profile photo released to the public..."
"He just took a woman away from Mr. Yi’s arms!"
"Took her away?"
"Seriously! I’m one hundred percent sure! He clearly snatched her! After taking her, he directly left the banquet hall!"
"Isn’t the one from Yu Jing Group supposed to not like women?"
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Everyone says so, doesn’t care for women, isn’t that just being gay?"
"???
"!!!
"Why are you staring at me? Who was that woman he took away? I didn’t see clearly..."
"Seems like it was Shi Su."
"...The Tilans spokesperson for Greater China?"
"Yes, yes! I’m sure it was her!"
"Jing Jihan and Shi Su?! Are you serious? That’s an unlikely connection!"
"But he indeed took her away, I was watching! It was Shi Su!"
"How is that possible? Everyone says Mr. Jing isn’t interested in women, always indifferent, before those from the Xiao and Lee families shamelessly confessed under the guise of family alliances, hoping to marry in, but whether it was Mr. Jing himself or the Jing Family that rejected them..."
"Rumors are just rumors, witnessing is believing, no wonder that Shi Su, an unknown minor celebrity, could land such a massive deal with Tilans, turns out she’s backed by solid connections!"
"Is Jing Jihan that indulgent to women..."
"I see, the Jing Family wouldn’t allow a small celebrity to be involved with them, even if he’s momentarily bewitched by a vixen, that notoriously ill-tempered Mr. Jing wouldn’t tolerate her, she’d probably be discarded after being used for a while."
"Did anyone capture it on camera?"
"Even if someone did, if the Jing Family suppresses the news, it won’t spread... no one would believe it if told..."
"Who would dare spread gossip about the Jing Family? How many guts would it take?"
"That’s truly unfortunate, for now, no one can touch that Shi Su, it seems."
"..."
The stall door in the restroom silently opened.
Shi Yunyin walked out expressionless.
Upon seeing Shi Yunyin actually there, those gossiping socialites in the restroom were momentarily frozen, immediately exchanging glances, as if nothing had happened, adjusting their makeup, they elegantly lifted their gowns, and walked out, as if the gossiping little divas just now weren’t them.
Shi Yunyin hadn’t expected due to not being able to stand Yi City’s disregard, she had gone to the restroom to cool down, only to miss such an important scene.
Jing Jihan and Shi Su?
Those women probably had poor eyesight.
Shi Su’s boyfriend was obviously just a small-time employee with a Passat.
Shi Yunyin touched up her makeup, and when she re-entered the banquet hall, everything seemed as usual, but Shi Su was indeed nowhere to be found, as was Yi City who should have been in the dance floor.
-
Shi Su was not taken away from the banquet entirely, she was simply taken out of the banquet hall.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor of the hotel, Shi Su struggled to gather her long gown, to avoid it being caught in the elevator door or snagged on something, raising her eyes to look at Jing Jihan’s back, she couldn’t help but mutter behind him.
"As expected of a big boss, coming and going from such banquets without a trace, without needing to explain to anyone." She muttered in complaint, "But I’m Tilans’ spokesperson, if I leave on such an occasion, how do I explain to them? Even with your intervention, it still lacks manners, not considering them at all."
Jing Jihan coldly glanced at her, exiting directly when the elevator door opened.
Shi Su had no choice but to follow, noticing that this floor was luxuriously ornate, and seemed different from the banquet hall below, appearing to be intended for meals or gatherings.
She held up her gown as she walked forward, glancing around occasionally.
Until the man suddenly stopped, almost causing Shi Su to bump into his back, stumbling a bit and nearly losing her balance.
Jing Jihan quickly steadied her, glancing sideways at her, still in a not so friendly tone, "Can’t stand steadily?"
Shi Su: "You suddenly stopped, you startled me!"
