CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 238: MR. JING IS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE

Shi Su was no longer a child, nor was she the teenager who could only endure everywhere.

But seeing the father and daughter sing in harmony like this, she was still so angry that her hands were trembling faintly.

Whether Shi Yunyin was his biological daughter, whether he was clear about it or not, was none of Shi Su’s business.

But Shi Su was his biological daughter, and he knew that very well.

If she could, she really wanted to pick up the fruit knife on the table and kill this "father and daughter" pair.

Shi Su’s hands trembled as she forcibly suppressed the immense anger within, her eyes suddenly fixed on Xv Yaru, who was trying to reduce her presence.

Xv Yaru paused. In this house, only she knew what kind of person Shi Su had become now, and her many weaknesses were in Shi Su’s hands.

"Old Shi, Yunyin, that’s enough. Shi Su just got back. It’s normal to have anger in her heart after all these years. Let Sister-in-law Wang take her to wash up and change clothes before eating. After all, she’s indeed quite dirty." Xv Yaru said while looking at Shi Su, seemingly in a friendly manner: "You’re a bit taller than Yunyin. She happens to have two M-sized clothes that don’t fit her very well, but they were bought from abroad. It’s inconvenient to return them, so they’ve just been left there. Change into those after you wash up."

Sister-in-law Wang came to take Shi Su upstairs to clean up, but Shi Su stood there motionless, with no intention of leaving.

Even though she hadn’t eaten or drunk all day, and the table was full of delicious food, she had no desire to eat, only an empty desert that only Xv Yaru could understand in its calm coldness.

"Miss, please." Sister-in-law Wang approached her from behind.

Shi Su seemed not to hear, only looking at Shi Lingkang: "Give me back my phone."

Shi Lingkang was impatient: "Why bother with a phone during family reunion? What’s so urgent that you need to contact the outside world?"

"I have work, I’ve been missing all day. My agent and the crew can’t just be put on hold like this."

Shi Lingkang said indifferently: "I already had someone contact your crew this morning. Didn’t another actress recently take leave too? I conveniently gave you a few days off as well, so stay home and don’t go anywhere."

"What gives you the right to take leave for me?!"

"As your father! Even if you call the police by getting your phone back, do you think they would care about our family affairs?"

Father.

Family affairs.

These words, if placed five years ago, wouldn’t be what he says.

She was really curious what exactly Shi Lingkang intended to do now.

Suddenly wanting his daughter back? But it was obviously not out of familial affection; he clearly just wanted to forcibly attach her with the Shi Family’s title.

There must be something unusual about this.

Shi Su didn’t want to waste any more words, turning to head toward the door. Shi Lingkang sternly called her back, but she continued walking straight to the door. Upon opening the door, she saw the two bodyguards still there; her phone was likely still out of reach.

This Shi Family was still the same as before, a grand villa wanting to lock her up, wanting her to disappear, even if they wanted her to die in this house, she had no way to escape.

Now the only difference was that she had a name in the entertainment industry, was a public figure, whose prolonged disappearance would likely arouse suspicion, unlike when she was a child, where she could die at home at any time and place, and no one knew or cared.

Shi Yunyin then set down the cutlery and said, "Sis, I’ll accompany you to my room to find clothes. Dad, Mom, you eat slowly."

With that, Shi Yunyin stood up, casually brushed the elegant dress on herself, and walked towards Shi Su, not a bit disdainful of the dust on Shi Su, directly took her hand: "Come upstairs with me."

As soon as Shi Su’s hand was touched, she withdrew it directly, looking at Shi Yunyin with contempt.

In society, she was a dazzling starlet beyond compare, at home, she reverted back to being a well-mannered girl who fits her father’s thoughts everywhere.

Shi Su had really had enough.

How could someone be so disgusting?

Already in her twenties, how could she possibly keep being so disgusting?

Shi Yunyin then suddenly whispered in a voice only audible to Shi Su: "You see it too, you can’t escape. Rather than wasting energy here, come to my room and let’s talk."

Shi Su didn’t dwell on Shi Yunyin’s nonsense but recalled that when she was a child, Shi Yunyin’s room had a phone for the Shi Family’s use, though it was just decorative, rarely used, there was indeed a phone in her room, and connected to the line that could make calls.

Wondering if it’s still there now.

With the Shi Family like this, she couldn’t leave, even if the crew could allow her to take leave, Jun couldn’t wait for days, and there’s Mianmian, fortunately, Mrs. Qin was home, otherwise, Mianmian would have no one looking after her.

She couldn’t continue wasting time in the Shi Family, nor could she give Shi Lingkang any chance to use her or achieve any goals.

Shi Su pretended to let Shi Yunyin take her, showing a displeased face, her footsteps clearly not going smoothly, but ultimately "barely" let Shi Yunyin drag her upstairs.

After entering the room that she never had the chance to enter as a child, Shi Su was too lazy to look at how big or exquisite the room was, too lazy to think that as both daughters of the Shi Family, she could only sleep among the clutter in the damp attic for so many years.

Her eyes seemed to sweep casually over the room, searching for the position of the phone.

"Stop looking, the phone line was gone long ago. What era is it, where a landline couldn’t be used? The servants just put the line away, now that’s just decoration." Shi Yunyin closed the bedroom door, her voice transforming from the sweet tone downstairs back to her usual cold and contemptuous tone.

"Furthermore, even if you could dial out, who would you reach? Your agent and that impotent studio team? They wouldn’t be able to get past the Fengjing Villa’s gate, who else could get in?"

Shi Yunyin walked with the phone to Shi Su’s side, her gaze contemptuous of her tattered clothes and face: "The Yu Jing Group’s Mr. Jing?"

Shi Su’s gaze paused momentarily, with no significant expression, she calmly met Shi Yunyin’s eyes.

"Don’t dream, do you really think you can climb to Mr. Jing’s level? Even if that banquet you were truly taken away by him, so what? Even though he did help you those few times, so what? A man with Jing Jihan’s status couldn’t possibly have only you among the women around him; fear not, you are just one of his playful arrangements, and when you get kicked aside, you’ll have nothing."

Shi Yunyin clicked her tongue twice, visibly examining Shi Su’s face: "Don’t even mention that you have nothing particularly special to hold onto Jing Jihan’s heart, merely a good time at best. Besides, that Jing Family, what kind of place is the Jing Family? Don’t dream, wash your face, look in the mirror, and see what qualifies you?"
