The central hall of the Jing family's old mansion was filled with people, none of whom spoke, but all of whom intently focused on the actions of Jing Jihan and Shi Su.
Jing Jihan seemed oblivious to the obvious displeasure in his parents' eyes. He held his wife's hand naturally, placed the other hand on Mianmian's head, and introduced Shi Su to his parents with an incontrovertible seriousness and determination that brooked no opposition.
Where was there any talk of a gift for changing terms of address?
Mrs. Jing had only talked about matters concerning Mianmian on the way. She hadn't considered Shi Su at all. If the child was indeed from the Jing family and was Jihan's daughter, she could accept this, but she had never planned to accept Shi Su.
Naturally, she hadn't prepared any such gift for changing terms of address.
Whether Shi Su intended to call them mom and dad didn't matter to her.
Even if Shi Su did call them that in public, she might not respond.
