A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 505 - 499: Neither Getting Out nor Rolling Down the Window

The Mercedes SUV that was just in the parking lot made a turn at the parking lot exit, preparing to drive onto the main road.

Shi Su drove up, making a sudden braking motion from behind, the car’s tires screeching loudly against the ground, followed by a "bang" as the car shook violently.

The front of the car collided with the black SUV ahead that was yet to drive onto the main road.

The driver of that SUV immediately opened the car door and walked over quickly, first observing the rear where the collision occurred, then with an unhappy look turned to Shi Su’s car, quickening his pace to the window and refraining from losing his temper, knocked on the window, and said irritably: "How are you driving? At such a slow speed in the parking lot, you still managed to crash? Did you mistake the gas pedal for the brake?!"

Shi Su sat inside the car unmoving, ignoring the driver’s yelling outside, coldly looking at the car in front of her.

Until the back door opened, Yi City casually adjusted the tie inside his coat, probably too late, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, intending to go back to rest quickly, but before the car could leave, it was crashed from behind.

"I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear? You’re the one who rear-ended, don’t need me to explain traffic safety laws to you?" The driver continued knocking on Shi Su’s window outside, his impatience evidently showing.

"What’s going on?" Yi City walked over.

The driver turned his eye and respectfully said: "Mr. Yi, the offending driver neither steps out of the car nor opens the window, not even apologizing, I think he needs to be taught a lesson!"

Yi City looked over at the car window.

And at the same moment, the window of the driver’s seat in the car behind slowly lowered.

When seeing the person inside, Yi City’s calm face showed a moment of surprise: "—Shi Su?"

-

Both cars suffered damage, but fortunately, the speeds were slow, causing only minor bumps.

Especially since Shi Su was driving, Yi City had no intention of making a fuss, but Shi Su insisted on covering the repair costs, calling Four Seas Entertainment’s VIP service department overnight to tow the car away for repair.

Yi City asked: "Have you eaten tonight? Let’s have a late-night snack together?"

Shi Su didn’t respond, instead directly following the Four Seas Entertainment repair service staff, Yi City originally could have called another car, but seeing her head towards Four Seas Entertainment, he followed her there.

Past midnight, the two sat in a resting area of a Four Seas Entertainment location in the capital.

"Is the car your company’s? Or your own?" Shi Su picked up the disposable water cup brought by the staff, filled it with hot water, and lightly blew on it as she casually asked.

Actually, her question was pointless. Whether it’s the company’s or his personally, isn’t it all his?

"The company’s branch is here, during social engagements and other activities, a designated car is usually sent over." Yi City didn’t find Shi Su’s question dull, rather he felt quite happy that she finally said a few more words herself, though earlier when getting out of the car his eyes seemed tired, now in front of Shi Su, he appeared quite energetic, all the fatigue was unseen.

"Mr. Yi has been thriving in the circle over the past two years, I heard there are three films with over two billion in box office earnings released by your company." Shi Su sipped some water, still hot, she sat down on the single sofa beside Yi City, placing the cup on the coffee table.

"Regarding film investment, you know the drill, even if Four Seas Entertainment is responsible for the release, there are still numerous entities waiting to share the revenue, not much money is made." Yi City said while looking at her: "But as for you, the past two years have indeed been great, recently you wrapped up ’Shadow Kill’ with Li Sansheng, isn’t it?"

"Yes."

Yi City chuckled lightly: "Li Sansheng’s film is pursuing reputation and awards, although our company didn’t participate in the investment or production of this film, the circle is like a wheel, rumors naturally circulate among people, I’ve read the script, its structure is impressive, grand and touching, the easter egg portion is quite emotional, coupled with performances from you and Wei Sinan, it deserves commendable success."

Shi Su smiled slightly, pulled out her phone, lowered her eyes glancing at it.

Then she looked up at him: "Are you familiar with Shi Wancheng?"

After exchanging small talk, it was about time.

Both Shi Su and Yi City are smart people, no need to waste time with pointless words and awkwardness.

Yi City wasn’t particularly surprised by her question but watched her quietly for a moment before saying: "Shi Su, this capital isn’t suitable for you, since you’ve married Jing Jihan, go back to Jiang City with him, live your life well."

Shi Su calmly looked at him, watching for nearly half a minute before leaning back into the sofa, her voice steady: "I too once thought this place was unsuitable for me, repeatedly tried to escape back to my comfort zone."

She looked at him again: "How much do you know about my matters?"

Yi City watched her.

That’s Shi Su for you, clearly she could have given him a call or directly stopped him after getting out of the car, invited him to find a place to chat.

But she refused to have overly private contact with him, preferring to crash into him like this to find an "excuse" to talk, rather than letting him stay because of past feelings.

"I don’t know much, merely business interactions with your second uncle Shi Wancheng, today I was attending an event in the capital, happened to meet Shi Wancheng who had just returned to the capital at the hotel, had a few drinks and chatted with him briefly before leaving, then ran into you in the parking lot."

Upon hearing Yi City’s words, Shi Su sat still, simply watching him.

Yi City didn’t avoid her gaze and slightly nudged the disposable cup in front of her forward: "Tonight’s capital is very cold, it’s not that hot now, drink some to warm up a bit."

He continued without pause, after retrieving his hand, meeting her eyes he continued: "You know I wouldn’t harm you, I understand Shi Wancheng, he has more cards than just those few, especially the complicated commercial and political relations in Jingjian, though this murky water has splashed onto you, with Jing Jihan around, he can’t really do anything to you, go back to Jiang City soon, once the situation calms down, he won’t keep focusing on you."

"He’s already dragged me into the murky waters." Shi Su said coldly: "Yi City, I realize despite knowing you for so long, I don’t truly understand you. Like how the Yi Family once roamed rampant in Jiang City over twenty years ago, did they have personal ties with Shi Lingkang?"

Yi City’s eyes paused, watching her.

Shi Su calmly said: "I’ve discovered some things, back then someone transferred a sum of money to my mom’s name, circulating through several channels, one of those names seems familiar but I couldn’t recall, suddenly meeting you today reminded me, is that your father’s name? What did your dad and my second uncle do to my mom back then?"
