Chapter 486: Why Should I Protect Him?

Thankfully, this matter had already spread all over Weibo and was not considered a secret. Shi Xuexin was still able to cover up the lie.

“Mmm, you have a good memory,” Shi Jin said calmly.

Wen Wang’s gaze landed on Shi Xuexin. He looked conflicted and the suspicion in his eyes could not be concealed. However, he did not ask directly in front of the camera.

Nevertheless, the thorn in his heart could not be removed once planted.

The others also had a trace of doubt, but since this matter had nothing to do with them, it was not convenient for them to ask, so they did not say much.

After saying that, Shi Jin did not continue the topic. Instead, she said, “Then our filming is almost over. Elder Zhu is going to treat me to a meal. Why don’t we go together?”

The director tactfully turned off the camera and ended the live broadcast.

Many doubtful comments appeared on the screen. “I think it must be her!”

“Anyway, it can’t be Shi Jin.”

“It can’t be anyone else either.”

“But what is her motive?”

“I can’t figure it out.”

After Wen Wang walked out, he said to the director, “Director, let’s leave this matter as it is. There’s no need to call the police.”

“How would I dare to call the police?” The director heaved a sigh of relief. Each of these people was harder to deal with than the other. They were all backed by their companies or had sugar daddies. He had been waiting for this matter to be resolved peacefully.

Wen Wang then pulled a long face and followed Shi Jin and Zhu Junrong.

Although he knew that he shouldn’t be sticking to them after what he did, he was still filled with hope when he thought about his violin. However, Shi Jin never mentioned her Eldest Senior Brother or the violin again.

She changed the topic and chatted with Shen Xinghe, Xia Peifeng, and Lin Yao.

It was the same for Zhu Junrong. It was obvious that he cared about Shi Jin, and the attitude with which he treated everyone depended on Shi Jin.

Although he did not look coldly at Wen Wang and Shi Xuexin, the two of them did not dare to approach him.

Shi Xuexin left after eating barely two mouthfuls. And Wen Wang never got the chance to talk about the violin’s repair.

Until dinner ended and Zhu Junrong left, Wen Wang never got the opportunity to bring it up.

After he came out, he contacted Shi Xuexin directly.

“I don’t know anything, Master Wen. If I was the one who destroyed it, why would I have given you the violin then?” Shi Xuexin felt wronged.

Wen Wang could not think of a reason for her to do so either. “Don’t be angry. I was just asking.”

“I’m tired. I need to rest.” Shi Xuexin quickly hung up.

Wen Wang seemed to have confirmed something.

After the meal, everyone left separately.

Xia Peifeng left late and walked out side by side with Shi Jin.

Shi Jin fell a few steps behind him, distancing herself from him.

“Shi Jin, are you that unwilling to walk with me?” Xia Peifeng was a little upset. Her actions were too obvious.

“I don’t want to have to explain if a reporter takes pictures.”

“When you defended Shen Xinghe, you were quite familiar with him. You purposely tricked Shi Xuexin just now to dispel Wen Wang’s suspicions about Shen Xinghe, right?”

Shi Jin raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, “Why should I defend him? I just can’t stand Wen Wang’s suspicion of me and deliberately angered him.”

After she finished speaking, she strode forward and distanced herself from Xia Peifeng again.

Xia Peifeng pinched the space between his eyebrows. Initially, he had hoped that this variety show could improve his relationship with Shi Jin, but now it seemed like it was just wishful thinking.

He really regretted that he had rejected Yu Guannan’s request for him to work with Shi Jin back then…

The next live broadcast would be at Shi Jin’s house.

Shi Jin chose the place where her grandfather lived. It was also the place that her family had hoped that she could go to recuperate in her past life.

However, in her previous life, she only went back when it was too late and everything was irreversible.

The filming would take place over the weekend.

Shi Jin pushed aside her work and rushed over with Fu Xiuyuan.

Taizhou Town was some distance away from the capital. The mountains were high and the waters were clear. To the outside world, it was also a poverty-stricken place.

Ten years ago, this place was indeed not considered rich. However, the roads had already been paved. Everything was different from what the outside world thought.

After Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan got off the plane, they got into the car and went straight to Taizhou Town.

“Shi Jin is back!” Someone greeted her.

Because Shi Xuexin had requested a schedule change, Shi Jin was not able to film over the Lunar New Year. So she specially took two days to escort Old Master Li back and stayed there for two days as well.

Everyone in the town knew each other and maintained many traditional customs, so almost every family knew Shi Jin. However, in their hearts, Shi Jin was not a big star. She was just Grandpa Li’s granddaughter.

Shi Jin waved her hand and greeted those people.

“Grandpa Li is in the field. I’ll go get him for you.”

“There’s no need, Sixth Aunt. I’ll go look for him directly.” Shi Jin turned back to look at Fu Xiuyuan. He had no objections and was happy to accompany her.

Old Master Li was in the fields arranging the seeds that he needed to plant in the spring to check on their germination. He looked up and saw Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan walking over from afar.

He washed his hands and went ashore, unable to hide the smile on his face. “You’re here today?”

“Grandfather, are you complaining that we’re early?”

“I wouldn’t mind even if you came a few years earlier,” Old Master Li said cheerfully. He pointed at the seeds in the large shed. “When these seeds have matured, everyone can begin planting.”

“They need you to personally nurture the seedlings?” Fu Xiuyuan looked at the young people everywhere in the distance and asked.

“These seeds were all tested last year. If I don’t watch them personally, I won’t feel at ease.” Old Master Li said as he washed his hands. “Also, the oranges over there were newly grafted last year. They used a newly developed technology. The skin is thinner and the juices are richer. I have to watch them personally.”

He said proudly as he brought Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan home.

Along the way, people picked fruits and vegetables and sent them over.

Old Master Li called a helper to slaughter some fresh cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks. He smiled and said, “You guys are going to have a feast tonight. Grandpa Wang, who raises chickens, has just built a new stove and is planning to make some firewood roasted chicken for you guys to eat.”

“That’s great. The last time we came here to eat Grandfather Wang’s dishes, Xiuyuan still can’t forget the taste.”

Old Master Li placed the items properly and took out the chessboard. “Come, come, come, Xiuyuan, play a round with me.”

“Grandpa, please show mercy.” Fu Xiuyuan found a seat and sat down. Old Master Li followed suit.

Shi Jin sat at the side and brewed tea.

Old Master Li happily picked up the chess pieces.
