With Mrs. Jing's departure, the atmosphere in the front hall finally eased up a bit.
Mr. Jing instructed Hui to serve more dishes to Shi Su, as if afraid she might have been wronged just now.
Shi Su was almost full, but she still made an effort to eat for appearance's sake, while pondering over the topic that Jing Sixue suddenly brought up earlier.
She originally assumed that she was merely someone raised by Jing Jihan's parents, untouched by the grime of the world—a delicate flower pampered and protected.
But now it seemed that's not the case.
Jing Sixue evidently knew about the situation early on, though it's unclear from where she got the information, and was fully aware of Shi Su's existence. This indicated that, although Jing Sixue was in the United Kingdom, she probably did a lot of investigating into Jing Jihan back in their home country.
