A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 366 - 360: Jing Jihan Was Originally Looking Straight Ahead...
What a huge misunderstanding?!
Shi Su rolled her eyes at the incandescent light on the police station ceiling, holding the phone to her ear in a low voice: "Sis, he’s here to bail someone else out! Not me! What’s it got to do with me? Zhou He was there when I got into the fight tonight!"
On the other end, Jun was eerily silent for a while, then said slowly: "Oh, but I’m already at home. The car just parked in the garage. Since Mr. Jing is at the station, why don’t you let him bail you out too? Do I have to make another trip?"
Shi Su: "???"
"I’m over thirty, you think I’m still as young as you? At my age, sleep is really important, you know? I’m not married yet, I want to get married, I want to have kids too, I need a healthy amount of sleep! Uninterrupted sleep, got it?! And, Shi Su, I need to reiterate to you again, I’m not your manager, I’m your partner! If anything, go find Lin Chen!"
"..."
"Besides, isn’t there someone there? Anyway, someone can help out; if Mr. Jing bails you out, it’s just a small effort, right? A big man like him, he shouldn’t be petty enough not to help out with such a small favor, right? If needed, act cute and ask for mercy."
"..."
Shi Su hung up the phone expressionlessly.
Zhou He returned and asked with a smile, "Is it inconvenient for your friend to come?"
Shi Su closed her eyes briefly and replied with restraint: "No, she’s almost here."
Zhou He cleared his throat, lowering his voice: "Miss Shi Su, it was quite quiet in the station just now, and your voice on the phone wasn’t small. We heard it."
Shi Su suddenly turned her gaze to Zhou He, then past Zhou He to the figure of the man standing at the police station entrance.
She quickly retracted her gaze: "No need, I’ll stay at the police station for a night and have them come over to get me in the morning."
"It’s already so late, and there’s no place to sleep here. The station is all men, and it’s not good to rest on a chair," Zhou He laughed: "Why not let Mr. Jing help you..."
"No need!" Shi Su replied firmly: "I’ll call someone else to come later. Jun was just messing around verbally, she wouldn’t really leave me hanging. You go ahead."
As she spoke, Shi Su, wanting to prove Jun was not that unreliable, decided to dial Jun’s number again and put it on speaker, intending for Zhou He to hear Jun’s sincere attitude of returning to the garage to pick her up.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off, Sorry..." The cold mechanical female voice echoed in the police station hall.
Shi Su: "..."
Zhou He: "..."
-
Jing Jihan had just returned from the Jing Family, not in a shirt and suit, but a pure white casual sports style white T-shirt and white pants. As he walked out of the station at night, his whole white outfit was particularly eye-catching under the streetlights.
Though very handsome.
But when she saw him take out the electronic car key and open the car door, Shi Su still paused by his car.
She said, "Thanks for bailing me out. My place is pretty close from here; I can walk back."
Jing Jihan only gave her a glance and had already opened the car door, his gaze calm and composed, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Do you think things aren’t chaotic enough tonight?"
Zhou He had already gotten in the car and consciously sat in the back seat, leaving the front passenger seat empty, poking his head out of the car: "Yeah, Miss Shi Su, it’s already so late. Even if it’s close, there’s still some distance. It’s not safe for you to walk alone out here, plus your hat and mask both fell off during the fight earlier. Are you planning to walk home uncovered? That could cause problems, right?"
Shi Su then remembered that her face wasn’t covered at all now. Fortunately, at this time, it was unlikely she’d coincidentally be followed, but walking for a while she might still get recognized by passersby.
She instinctively pushed her loose hair towards her cheeks, glanced around cautiously, then looked over at Zhou He, who was earnestly inviting her into the car, and finally at the man standing in the night with a cold noble air.
Anyway, things had already reached this point tonight; there was no point in being sentimental or troublesome. Trouble him once, then trouble him thoroughly.
Just as she was about to open the back door, Zhou He leaned against the window, not intending to let her sit back there.
Shi Su had no choice but to open the front door and sit in the passenger seat.
What a coincidence, earlier in the night Jing Luozhou drove this car and mocked her, and she didn’t get in, but ended up sitting in it later that night anyway.
After getting in the car, Zhou He, being used to Mr. Jing’s cold treatment in the company, didn’t dare chat much, only courteously asking once the car started: "How’s Mr. Jing’s health? Is he okay?"
"Old problems." Jing Jihan remained calm and indifferent, not even looking at the silent Shi Su next to him.
It wasn’t until they left the station that his cold voice sounded again: "Where to?"
Clearly asking Shi Su.
Shi Su, fastening her seatbelt, said: "Just drop me off at Wanxing Building; I’ll go to the studio first."
Incidentally, Zhou He’s car was also left around there, so Zhou He could go get his car too.
Jing Jihan didn’t speak again, and Shi Su just sat quietly, taking out her phone and scrolling through WeChat. She suddenly asked: "How much was the bail? Was it a thousand? I..."
She was just about to say she’d transfer to him, but then abruptly stopped herself.
A year and a half ago, she had deleted and blocked his WeChat, including everyone around him—Zhou He, Lu Zhao, and Jing Luozhou. No contacts at all.
She put down her phone, looked out the window seriously, and said: "Tomorrow I’ll have Jun help transfer it to your company account."
The man said nothing, neither accepting nor refusing.
But Zhou He, sitting in the back, laughed: "Miss Shi Su, don’t joke. We’re all old acquaintances. A thousand and you’re transferring it to the company account? That’s too strictly defined..."
Shi Su replied offhandedly: "After all, I caused the trouble, the responsibility should be mine to bear."
She paused, suddenly adding: "Oh, and Zhou He’s share too, because he was detained at the station because of me. I’ll ask Jun to transfer his share together."
Jing Jihan, focusing ahead as he drove, suddenly stopped at a red light at an intersection, glancing sideways at her.
That glance was unemotional and cold.
Zhou He was about to say, no need, no need, but suddenly heard Jing Jihan’s indifferent voice: "Suit yourself."
Zhou He was left speechless, instinctively feeling a shiver in his calves, feeling a bit cold.
