Chapter 83 Confrontation
Jing Rong knew that G-Dragon took his teammates home for dinner, but she didn't know the specific reason. She didn't ask G-Dragon specifically, and G-Dragon didn't tell her. That night, after dinner at G-Dragon's house, all the members of Big Bang went to G.R.
It's strange to say, Big Bang has been quite busy recently and hasn't come to G·R very often, but actually quite a lot, they come once or twice a week. TVXQ is also a frequent visitor to G·R, but they have met Big Bang very few times. To be honest, it's only been one time when the members met, and Daesung was absent from Big Bang - that was when Big Bang had just returned from their Japanese tour.
However, today, it was a strange five-on-five encounter. Seeing a handsome guy enter G.R., chatting and laughing, Jingrong's friends all turned their gazes to her, hoping for the best. No matter how harmonious Big Bang and TVXQ appear on the surface, their friends always feel there's something fishy going on. Before Jingrong's incident, no one would have thought their relationship was that good. Even if they did have feelings for each other, it was just a mutual admiration between rivals.
, and the two of them are probably the same, but they are both top boy groups in Asia.
Zhang Zhiyao and the others were no exception, thinking the same thing. They also knew that the two captains were rivals not only in their careers but also in their relationships. So, seeing them enter together, everyone suddenly felt like enjoying a good show while munching on melon seeds. Everyone turned their attention to Jing Rong, expecting her to show a different expression, but she remained completely composed. Unable to see the good show, they began to target the two male protagonists.
Everyone consciously moved away, leaving empty seats on the left and right of Jingrong for Bigbang to sit. Whether it was intentional or not, G-Dragon and Jung Yunho happened to sit next to Jingrong on the left and right.
"Why are you here together?"
G-Dragon laughed and said, "I bumped into him when I was parking the car."
Jing Rong nodded and smiled: "I thought you had an appointment."
Everyone sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries. Jin Zaizhong looked at Jingrong and smiled, "Jingrongxi, so gdxi is your boyfriend. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding before."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were all focused on Jing Rong. Everyone knew what the misunderstanding he was talking about was. In fact, it was not just him, but many people still misunderstood it. There was really no need to apologize specially, and to apologize in front of G-Dragon. A word flashed through the minds of G-Dragon and his friends - ill intentions! But after all, Kim Jaejoong was their senior, and apart from feeling indignant, there was nothing else they could do. Jing Rong smiled and replied: "I should be the one to say sorry. I didn't explain it clearly before."
"It's okay. I don't want to make this public. Everyone understands." Kim Jaejoong curled his lips in a smile, his beautiful face looking even more charming under the bright lights. If the previous sentence could be interpreted as Kim Jaejoong being too polite and therefore needing to apologize for such a thing, there was no reason to explain it here. The words "this kind of thing" and "I don't want to make it public" sounded jarring to G-Dragon, almost provocative. And then there was the phrase "everyone understands." What the hell? Understanding that they're together or understanding that they'll break up sooner or later?!
Before Quan Zhilong could respond, Shen Changmin couldn't wait to pick up on Jin Zaizhong's words and said to Jingrong with a smile, "Jingrongxi, but I really didn't expect you to be with gdxi. There's no way to connect the two of you. Besides, the tweet you posted last time was so confident that I was amazed!"
From Jingrong's perspective, every word Shen Changmin said was a joking exclamation without any other meaning. However, Quan Zhilong did not think so. In his opinion, the meaning revealed in Shen Changmin's words was just pointing at his nose and saying that he and Jingrong were not worthy!
A trace of emotion flashed in G-Dragon's eyes. He put his arm around Jing Rong as if declaring his sovereignty and chuckled: "After all, there are rumors about him and senior Jung Yunho. It's easy to be gossiped about if it's related to me. There's nothing Jing Rong can do about it when he posts that tweet. I'm sure everyone will understand after they understand what happened." After so many years in society, G-Dragon can also say polite words, and his skills in open and indirect sarcasm are no weaker than others. These words sounded very pleasant at first. In fact, he almost said directly that Jung Yunho was the third party who interfered in the relationship between him and Jing Rong, causing people to misunderstand, and then causing them to have to distance themselves from each other in public as a couple. It has to be said that G-Dragon played this counterattack beautifully.
In just a few words, the atmosphere was tense and tense. At this time, one of the male protagonists, Jung Yunho, had not yet reacted, but it was already so exciting. Jing Rong's group of unscrupulous friends were already excited. Although everyone was looking forward to this scene when they came in, they did not hold out much hope. After all, these people are public figures with great fame. They are much more noticed than ordinary small stars. Even in private, they should be happy and harmonious, like brothers who have been separated for many years. I really didn't expect to see such a big show today.
Everyone was eager to see how Jung Yunho would react, but upon hearing G-Dragon's words, he simply smiled gently and apologized sincerely to G-Dragon: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
G-Dragon suddenly felt like he had punched cotton, without any sense of accomplishment. However, he had to put on a smile and say you're welcome when his senior apologized, regardless of whether the other party was sincere or not. G-Dragon felt particularly aggrieved at this time, and said that it was okay and he would no longer compete with TVXQ and the others. He whispered in Jingrong's ear very intimately, occasionally hugging her waist or pinching her nose, just like a young couple in sweet love.
Everyone could see that G-Dragon was deliberately showing off his affection. A flicker of resentment flashed in Changmin's eyes, but seeing that his brother didn't react, he didn't want to go too far. Actually, the members of TVXQ weren't unreasonable people. The main reason they were targeting G-Dragon today was because he had gone too far last time. One night, while sleeping, Changmin got a call from his captain. He was startled, thinking he had done something wrong to deserve the captain's call and scold him in the middle of the night. But it turned out that the person talking wasn't his boss. The person introduced himself as the manager of G.R., saying that his boss was drunk and couldn't get home, so he asked Changmin to come over and help. Changmin was more than just shocked at this point. Holy shit, his whole world was about to be shattered. Their boss, who was so self-satisfied, actually got drunk alone at a bar and couldn't get home!
Chen Changmin immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and called Jin Jaejoong. He got up, dressed, and hurriedly drove to G.R. Just as he arrived, Jin Jaejoong arrived. As expected, just as the person on the phone had said, their boss was still slumped over the table, clutching a bottle of wine. Anyone could do something like this when they're in a bad mood, but Jung Yunho had never lost his composure like this before. Seeing him so dejected at that moment, the brothers who had hurried to G.R. couldn't help but feel sad. Then he asked the people around him what had happened, but they didn't know either. They just told them that after Jingrong and her boyfriend left, Jung Yunho had been drinking one glass after another.
It's obvious what's going on here. Everyone must have been provoked by G-Dragon, which is why they were all so angry and sneered at him today. But now that Jung Yunho himself has stopped talking about it, it's hard for others to say anything more. Saying too much would only open up the wound.
Sometimes things change, and TVXQ becomes silent, while BigBang suddenly becomes more energetic. Previously, due to TVXQ being their seniors, except for G-Dragon who couldn't stand it anymore and made a sarcastic remark, no one else said anything. It's not that they don't want to help their brothers, but if this kind of thing gets out, it will become like BigBang is now relying on their fame to disrespect their seniors. They have already been in a lot of trouble in recent years due to their popularity, and with the unfounded accusation of "not being a senior", at least half of their efforts over the years will be negated. But not speaking doesn't mean they are convinced, so after G-Dragon regained the home advantage, his friends helped him maintain it, chatting with Jingrong, and not letting her have any topics to talk about with TVXQ.
First, Taeyang asked, "I heard from Jiyong that you arranged the trip to Jeju Island yesterday? I also want to go there for a vacation. Can you give me some good suggestions?"
Jing Rong glanced at Taiyang and asked, "Can I ask who you want to go with?"
"Hmm..." Taiyang hesitated and asked, "Is this important?"
"If it's a girl, I can certainly give some advice, but if not, then forget it. It's boring to go to Jeju Island alone or with your brothers. If you don't believe me, ask Ji-Dragon." G-Dragon nodded cooperatively, looking at Taeyang with bright eyes. After being brothers for so many years, he had never seen Taeyang get close to any girl. If he really planned to take a girl on vacation this time, then this girl might be his first love.
G-Dragon couldn't help but pay attention. TOP and the others also shifted all their attention to Taeyang because of Jingrong's sharp question. Taeyang felt a little pressured by so many people watching him. For a long time, he still didn't reveal anything: "Forget it, we haven't even started yet. If I say this, it will not reflect well on others."
"So it really is a girl!" Jing Rong immediately perked up. Taiyang was the first person here to truly accept her. Moreover, they were different from Zhang Zhiyao and Dong Yang. Because before she came, Taiyang didn't even know Xue Jingrong, so Taiyang meant something different to her. When she heard that Taiyang had a friend who could develop a future, she was very curious. Of course, she was more concerned. She was actually older than Taiyang. She was a little reluctant to let go of this boy who had no emotional experience and was not interested in anything other than his singing career. He said that he had a crush on someone for the first time. She asked hurriedly, "What's the other person's name? How old are you? What do you do?"
The sun's eyes flashed: "This..."
"I don't know?" Jing Rong frowned. "Didn't she tell you anything?"
Jingrong's question embarrassed Taiyang. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, it was just the first time he'd encountered such a thing. There were people around, both familiar and unfamiliar, with over a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him as he spoke. How could he possibly say anything? Taiyang suddenly wanted to complain. Jingrong usually seemed to take everything seriously, but she was the one who let him down at the crucial moment. How could she, with her meticulous mind, not see that he wasn't embarrassed, but actually shy? ╯︵┻━┻!
Taeyang was so reserved and shy that not only Jingrong, but even his friends didn't notice. Of course, some of them might have noticed but were playing dumb. Instead, Jung Yunho chuckled, looked at Jingrong jokingly, and said, "Jingrong, your questions are exactly the same as the ones my aunt asked when my cousin said he had a girlfriend—even the expressions are so similar!"
Jing Rong paused, then immediately reacted: "You actually said that my mentality is the same as your aunt's?!"
Jung Yunho chuckled: "I was just making a metaphor, you said it yourself."
"Isn't that what you meant?" Jing Rong rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he looked back at the sun and said, "But what can I do? I really feel like my son has grown up."
Jingrong's words made everyone present burst into laughter. Now everyone stopped being awkward. Strange eyes were looking back and forth between Jingrong and Taeyang. Not to mention other things, looking at the degree of Jingrong's frown, it really told everyone that she was very sad. Taeyang was still thanking Jung Yunho for putting aside their grudges and helping him out of the predicament. At this moment, he wanted to die. Everyone was in a joking mood, but as the person involved, he really couldn't laugh. It was obviously him who was busy running around and taking care of Jingrong like a younger sister. He even paid close attention to her love life. Now Jingrong said such words shamelessly, which made him feel so confused that he couldn't find his way home!
Because of such a brilliant topic, the atmosphere at the scene became much better. Occasionally, Big Bang would chat with Jingrong, and TVXQ and the others would also interrupt to say a few words. On the surface, it seemed that the party had returned to a happy state. Jingrong knew that Taeyang was reluctant to talk at this time, so he did not force him. He just talked about some of the most worthwhile places to visit in Jeju Island. Gradually, the topic spread from Jeju Island to all parts of the country. Naturally, travel is inseparable from food. There were several foodies present. After talking about some special foods, Seungri suddenly said with an unsatisfied feeling: "I went to Jiyong's house for dinner today. Auntie's cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Top is a certified foodie—of course, he thinks he has a side job as a foodie and is the most qualified person to speak on this topic. So, without even considering what Seungri meant by that, he simply nodded. Everyone commented, "Yeah, Auntie's kimchi is the best I've ever had, and the soup is pretty good too. It would be perfect if the rice could be a little softer next time."
Shengli rolled his eyes imperceptibly, and seeing that Jingrong didn't seem to be taking the bait, he could only ask directly, "Hey, sister-in-law, have you ever eaten it?"
"No."
"Why aren't we going together today?" Seungri asked knowingly, his eyes wide open. He even gave G-Dragon a look of disapproval, "Didn't G-Dragon tell you that we were all going?!"
"He did." Jing Rong also imitated Seungri and gave Quan Zhilong a cold look, "But he hasn't asked yet, do I have the nerve to ask to go?"
Jing Rong's words made Sheng Li and the others open their eyes wide. Before Sheng Li spoke, he had thought of countless possibilities and made sufficient plans for this. He never expected that Jing Rong would not go for this reason. For a moment, he was a little speechless. After a while, he clenched his fist and said indignantly: "Brother, this is too much. You didn't even invite you to such a party!"
Top also said: "Giyong really went too far. At least he should ask about your opinion."
Taeyang looked at G-Dragon and said, "I think you're being too cautious. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why keep guessing and not getting the point?"
Under normal circumstances, facing the accusations of his friends, G-Dragon would definitely cry out that he was wronged. It’s not that he didn’t ask, he just asked once and knew that she didn’t want to, so he didn’t dare to ask more, okay! So even if there is a mistake, it is both of them and he shouldn’t bear all the responsibility alone! But now G-Dragon’s focus is not on the fact that he was misunderstood by his friends. He was also surprised to hear Jingrong’s words, but after the surprise, he was completely surprised. Could it be that without him knowing, his girlfriend had changed her mind? Now that she is willing to go to his house, she should no longer insist on getting married in three to five years, right? - So Captain Quan, how much do you care about Jingrong’s three to five years plan!
Quan Zhilong smiled and hugged Jingrong: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I made a rash decision without considering your wishes... How about we go back tomorrow?"
In contrast to the lively atmosphere on Big Bang's side, TVXQ fell into silence seeing how heated their discussion was. Mainly because everyone was more concerned about Jung Yunho's mood. They heard the two of them discussing meeting the parents. Kim Jaejoong happened to catch Jung Yunho's eyes dimming for a moment, so he simply said nothing and wanted to observe how far Jingrong and G-Dragon had progressed.
In fact, it is already very obvious. Ever since they knew about the relationship between Jingrong and Quan Zhilong, they could also think of the origin of this G·R. Then, the day before yesterday was Quan Zhilong’s birthday, and Jingrong was planning to accompany him to Jeju Island to spend time alone together. Now, he is discussing going to Quan Zhilong’s house to see his parents in front of them, saying that they are just having a little relationship and will break up sooner or later. Do you believe it? Jin Jae-joong and the others were sarcastic about Quan Zhilong. In fact, they may not have no resentment towards Jingrong in their hearts. It’s just that some things require first impressions. Before knowing these things, they had already known Jingrong and had a good impression of her. Even if Zheng Yunhao didn’t have that intention towards her, they could still be friends who could talk. Trusting Jingrong’s character is one aspect. On the other hand, at that time, Jingrong and Quan Zhilong were in conflict. The girl was a little angry and got closer to other boys. This is not a sinful thing. Moreover, Jingrong did not take the initiative to tell her about her relationship with Quan Zhilong. There was nothing wrong with it. After all, Quan Ji-Dragon's identity is not ordinary. If he doesn't want to make it public, he really shouldn't spread it around. Besides, although Jingrong never told them, he had clearly told Jung Yunho about it, so it doesn't count as cheating. After analyzing it this way, no one in TVXQ thinks Jingrong is two-timing. They just feel that Captain Zheng and Jingrong met at the wrong time. If it was earlier, she and G-Dragon wouldn't have started yet, or if it was later, they would have completely ended, and he wouldn't have to suffer so much now. He can't do anything about the person he likes being sweet with other men in front of him, and he can't do anything about it, but he can't stay away from them either.
So, in the final analysis, Kim Jae-joong and the others complained to Jingrong that he shouldn't be so sweet with G-Dragon in front of Jung Yunho. Even if they were doing so openly and legitimately, what's wrong with occasionally considering other people's feelings?
However, while his friends were so confused, Jung Yunho wasn't as miserable as they thought. Meeting the parents was nothing. He'd already met Jingrong's father more than once. This alone was enough to outdo G-Dragon. Taking Jingrong to meet his own parents was nothing. He could have asked Jingrong to take him to meet Chairman Xue! Although it shouldn't have been the case, when he thought about it, Jung Yunho felt a bit gloating. G-Dragon didn't realize how much influence Chairman Xue had on the two of them. If Chairman Xue didn't agree, they would never be together!
Jung Yunho believed that Jingrong would not be able to abandon her only relative for love. What's more, Jingrong didn't really want to accompany Quan Zhilong to his house. It was just because the topic was brought up in front of everyone and she didn't want to offend Quan Zhilong. If she really had such plans, he would not have been the one who accompanied her to the countryside last time.
Of course, although he knew it very well in his heart, Jung Yunho still felt a little lost when he saw Jingrong and G-Dragon interacting. This is also human nature. If he is indifferent to this, it only proves that he does not really like Jingrong.
G-Dragon was still waiting for Jingrong's answer. His palms were sweating with nervousness. He didn't insist that Jingrong agree to meet his parents tomorrow, but he just wanted to test her attitude. He wanted to know whether he was thinking too much or she really didn't want to.
After a while, Jing Rong chuckled: "Why are you so anxious? Uncle and auntie should be tired after you went there today, right?"
Although Jingrong's reasons were very convincing, Quan Zhilong's heart still sank. However, Jingrong's subsequent words rekindled his hope: "Isn't there a good opportunity at the beginning of next month?"
Quan Zhilong paused, his eyes lit up: "You mean we'll go on our anniversary?"
Jing Rong nodded with a smile, and Quan Zhilong's mood finally lifted. At this time, he did not notice the flash of light in Jing Rong's eyes. What should he do? She might not be able to wait until next month.
After the party, G-Dragon was busy with work while counting the days until their 300-day anniversary. Even an idea that he had given up before became stirring again because of Jing Rong's cooperation.
If she didn't mind meeting his parents, would she mind if I proposed to her that day?
The days of waiting seemed a bit long for G-Dragon, but it was not necessarily the same for others. On the third day after they returned from Jeju Island, Jing Rong received a call from President Xue himself.
"Jingrong." President Xue said calmly.
Jing Rong chuckled. It was almost time to get off work. She sorted the documents on the table and said, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine, just worry less about me!"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in President Xue's tone, Jing Rong did not argue with him. Instead, he asked submissively, "Father, how have I angered you recently?"
"Hasn't your incident with that celebrity been enough?" President Xue's tone became heavier when he mentioned this, followed by a heart-wrenching cough. Even though Jing Rong wasn't President Xue's biological daughter, she felt a little sad when she heard it. She admitted her mistake directly, "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention."
Chairman Xue paused, then lowered his head to see the photos he had acquired on the table. His anger rose again: "You said you would pay attention, but what did you pay attention to?! Your attention is to open a bar related to him and go crazy there every night as if you are afraid that people don't know about your relationship? Your attention is to go on a trip with him and spread the news everywhere? Do you know how much effort I put into helping you settle these things? If I just gave up, do you believe you would be scolded to death now?! But, Xue Jingrong, your father is so old, I can't afford to lose face!"
President Xue's tone was very stern. Rather than being dissatisfied with Jing Rong, it was more of a feeling of disappointment: "What on earth did that man have to be obsessed with you? How could I have given birth to a daughter like you!"
Well said! If his status didn't prevent him from doing so, Jing Rong would have wanted to applaud President Xue.
After a long while, Jingrong didn't say anything, and President Xue also fell silent. He thought his tone was too harsh. Although he said it so painfully, he was actually quite proud of his daughter's transformation. So after venting his anger, he felt that he had gone too far. It was impossible to ask him to apologize. After a while, President Xue sighed and said, "This matter ends here. I will only give you one month, Jingrong. It's not that I don't give you the right to choose, but there must be an appropriate range for choice. Zhang Jingran and Zheng Yunhao, you can decide for yourself. If you don't decide after a month, then I will make the decision for you directly."
Jing Rong opened her lips, but before she could say anything, she heard a very light sigh in her ear: "How could Daddy hurt you... It's all for your own good..." President Xue, who was usually strict, actually said such soft words. Jing Rong's nose suddenly felt sore. Some conditioned reactions were uncontrollable. By the time she calmed down, the phone had become busy. Jing Rong put the phone back on the table, sat in the chair and did nothing, frowning and thinking.
Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. After talking about the respective situations of Jingrong and Quan Zhilong, it is time to let everyone see the topic list created by them. Recently, when you open Twitter, Instagram, and various web pages, Quan Zhilong's name is all over the screen. After Jingrong sent a tweet on Quan Zhilong's mobile phone on a whim, the VIPs were rekindled with curiosity about Quan Zhilong's girlfriend. Not long after, they heard that someone broke the news that Quan Zhilong and his girlfriend went to Jeju Island for a sweet vacation, so the VIPs' curiosity was like ignited. Through several photos that completely covered the heroine's face, they began a Sherlock Holmes journey by using various comparison and elimination methods - in fact, it is a bit like a game of hide-and-seek, the only difference is that many of them joined together to find only one person.
