Chapter 87 Whose Fault
Chairman Xue's refusal was expected, and Jing Rong was not surprised. He said calmly, "I know what happened last night. The medical conditions here are not as good as those in Seoul. For safety reasons, you should go back and recuperate."
Similarly, President Xue also knew that Jing Rong couldn't have rushed over here just to see him early in the morning, so he was not surprised to hear Jing Rong say that. He just glanced at Jing Rong and said, "Since you know, you should be clear about who is responsible for this!" As he spoke, President Xue's face darkened, and the meaning was very clear. He was so angry because of Jing Rong yesterday.
Although President Xue said this, he didn't mean to settle scores later. In fact, he was already very pleased that Jingrong had been so obedient in bringing Zheng Yunhao here today. What young person doesn't make mistakes? As long as they are willing to repent, it's fine. His daughter was so foolish before, but he gave her a chance, and now she is no worse than other children. Children of your own are still the best. Even though President Xue was so angry yesterday, after the incident, he still felt that his daughter was good in every way now. It's just that he was used to having a cold face, and when he saw Jingrong and the others coming, he couldn't bear to say a soft word.
Of course, President Xue would not be so arrogant as to find fault with Jingrong even though he was obviously very satisfied with him. He turned cold and had a tantrum, but did not say a word of real blame. It was known that he was just doing it for Zheng Yunhao to see.
The three people present were all smart people. Jing Rong brought Zheng Yunhao here at this time, and he didn't mind his presence. He suggested to Chairman Xue that he go back to recuperate, which clearly showed that he didn't regard Zheng Yunhao as an outsider. Since meeting Zheng Yunhao, Zheng Yunhao has become Chairman Xue's favorite future son-in-law. Chairman Xue never hid this from Jing Rong. Then, after what happened yesterday, in such an ambiguous time, Chairman Xue easily guessed Jing Rong's choice. This was very good. They finally reached a consensus at the critical moment. Chairman Xue was very happy, but at the same time, Chairman Xue was also clear that Jing Rong's... The ex-boyfriend is still a problem. Jung Yunho and G-Dragon are both in the entertainment industry. It is impossible to say that they don’t know each other’s existence. Before, Jung Yunho would naturally not mind those things in order to pursue his daughter. Even if he minded, he would not show it directly, but men understand men. Everyone wants his woman to belong to him from head to toe. After Jung Yunho was with his daughter, there is no guarantee that he would not think of this. There is a thorn in the relationship between the two people, which will sooner or later become a time bomb. By then, he will be gone and there will be no support from his natal family. Once Jung Yunho changes his mind or wants to settle the score later, things will be difficult.
Chairman Xue thought that since he had to make arrangements, he had to arrange everything properly. Although Jung Yunho looked good, he could not guarantee that he would not change in the future, so he acted out this act to test whether Jung Yunho really did not mind Jingrong and G-Dragon's past, or was just pretending to be generous - of course, by scolding Jingrong in front of Jung Yunho, Chairman Xue also wanted to see whether Jung Yunho would protect her and to what extent.
Born into a family like that, Jung Yunho could see through Chairman Xue's intentions; it was simply that the old man was worried. Without waiting for Jingrong to explain, Jung Yunho smiled and pleaded, "Uncle, Jingrong almost cried with me last night. She really knows she was wrong. Please forgive her this time."
"Is it all over just by saying that she knows she's wrong? Who will clean up the mess she left behind?!" It would have been better if he hadn't tried to persuade her, but after Zheng Yunhao tried to persuade him, President Xue seemed to become even angrier.
Jingrong opened her lips, about to say that she would handle it herself, but Zheng Yunhao calmly put his arm around her shoulders, stopping her from saying anything, and continued to speak to President Xue in a good-tempered manner: "It depends on whether your uncle is willing to continue to look after her, so I suggest you return to Seoul to recuperate. The medical facilities there are better, and I think the effect will be better than here. Besides, with you watching over Jingrong, she won't be able to make any mistakes, right?"
"She's already this old, does she still want me to watch her forever?"
"That's right, at your age, uncle should be enjoying a peaceful life." Zheng Yunhao said slowly, "If uncle doesn't mind, I will take care of Jingrong for you in the future." It was already a very obvious hint.
Even though it was just a play, President Xue had to applaud Jung Yunho. His reaction ability was comparable to his father's. Just being a star or something really buried his talent. President Xue just wanted to test how much Jung Yunho cared about Jingrong. As a result, not only did he perform well on this issue, he also quietly acted as a lobbyist for Jingrong. Finally, he made a subtle confession, making it difficult for President Xue to disagree. The more Jung Yunho did this, the more he felt at ease to leave his daughter to him.
Chairman Xue was very satisfied; his biggest worry was almost resolved. He had calmly ignored Jung Yunho's final statement of affection. He was expecting a promise from him without the parents even coming forward. Did he think he was selling out his daughter?! Chairman Xue maintained an expressionless face as he looked at the young couple sitting across from him, feeling a surge of pride within him.
Seeing that Zheng Yunhao had calmed President Xue's anger with just a few words, Jing Rong looked at Zheng Yunhao with some gratitude. It was not that she was thanking him for helping her out, but it was not a big deal to be scolded by President Xue. When she was with the original owner before, President Xue was so angry that he even shouted for killing and almost severed the father-daughter relationship. So she really felt that being scolded by President Xue was not a big deal. What she was worried about was that President Xue would get more and more excited as he scolded her. Doctor Chen said yesterday that President Xue now hates being too happy or angry, so he fainted yesterday because of anger.
Chairman Xue's expression was indifferent. He didn't continue what Zheng Yunhao said. Zheng Yunhao just smiled. Although the three of them looked at each other in silence for a while, the atmosphere was not awkward. Jing Rong calmly broke the silence, "After dinner, let's go back. I'll ask someone to pack your things for you."
Chairman Xue didn't object now. He knew his own health well. He said he was coming to recuperate, but staying in the countryside wouldn't help. He might as well go back early while he had time to make more arrangements for his funeral. Besides, he hadn't stayed in Seoul before because he was afraid that if people knew about his serious illness, it would be bad for Jingrong and the Xue family. Jingrong's relationship with Zheng Yunhao was already taboo enough for those people. Even if they knew he was terminally ill, what would it matter? After all, it was a beautiful woman who dared to act rashly. Without this concern, he still hoped to return to Seoul. After all, his property and his family were there, and it would also be convenient for him to meet with Zheng Yunhao's father to discuss important matters between the two families.
While Jingrong and the others were having breakfast, Mrs. Xue and several servants were already packing up. Her pale complexion, which had been growing increasingly pale these days due to her worry about President Xue, had finally become a bit rosy. She wasn't much older than Jingrong, still so young, and used to a luxurious life. These days in the countryside had clearly taken their toll on her. Mrs. Xue's cheerfulness had also rubbed off on President Xue to some extent, and the family was, by some measure, harmonious and happy when they set off.
With the big star Jung Yunho around, Jingrong's popularity is also not low. Plus, as the chairman of a group, even if Chairman Xue is usually low-key, reporters who often cover the news will know him, so this combination is really eye-catching. What's more, the last time Jingrong brought Jung Yunho here, it was early in the morning and they went back very late at night, so no one noticed anything. But now they are here in broad daylight, and they don't cover up at all. It's really hard not to be discovered.
So, Jingrong and Zheng Yunhao parked the car in front of a private hospital in Seoul. Many doctors and nurses were waiting to greet them outside. Then the group rushed to send Chairman Xue to the VIP ward. This incident caused such a big stir that it became a hot topic within two hours of their return to Seoul. Photos of them were everywhere on the Internet, and even Chairman Xue showed up, saying that Jingrong and Zheng Yunhao were not in a serious relationship. Even a fool would not believe it.
As soon as this news came out, both the business and entertainment circles were very concerned, but their focuses were completely different and their reactions were also different. First of all, ordinary netizens, unlike when Jingrong and Jung Yunho first started dating, there was no sign back then, and everyone was caught off guard. But now, things are different. Ever since the rumors started, many fans and reporters have asked them about it, but the two parties have never confirmed nor denied their relationship, their attitudes are indeed somewhat ambiguous, and it's completely different from their usual style. At that time, most people just assumed they were in tacit agreement. The queens, without even realizing it, had already treated Jingrong as Mrs. Jung. Now, Jung Yunho accompanied "Mrs. Jung" to the hospital. When this news came to light, no one was shocked. Some just didn't expect their relationship to develop so quickly. Of course, after thinking it through, it seems natural. There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry who are in relationships, but when they meet their parents, it basically means they're committed. Jingrong mentioned on Twitter six months ago that she and her boyfriend had been together for six months, and now they've been together for almost a year. Although it's a bit fast, if the relationship is good, meeting the parents now is not too much of a stretch. So, is Jingrong finally going to be their Mrs. Jung?!
At this time, the first reaction of the fairy queens was - damn, luckily they still kept some rationality when the scandal came out, and did not go to Jingrong to make trouble regardless of the consequences, otherwise their faces would be swollen now!
Chairman Xue's serious illness, resulting in his hospitalization, has garnered considerable attention in the business community. Even before this, they'd already sensed that a businessman without keen foresight wouldn't achieve great things. Chairman Xue, a lifelong man of character, wouldn't abandon his company to his daughter, a woman with no connections, and take her on vacation for months at a time. There's no shortage of men who prefer beauty to power, but Chairman Xue is definitely not one of them. For months, several people have been trying to find out about Chairman Xue, but the Xue family has kept it a secret. Even if others knew their suspicions were correct, they wouldn't dare act without definitive proof. Now that Chairman Xue is hospitalized, they can finally confirm his terminal illness. If there were any other way, a veteran like Chairman Xue wouldn't have so openly exposed his condition. But even if they knew Chairman Xue was frail, what did it matter? His daughter was capable, having hooked up with the Zheng family's second son. Would they dare act rashly?
So a group of business people sighed and blamed themselves for being too cautious and missing the best opportunity. Now even though they knew that Chairman Xue was a paper tiger that would burst with a single poke, no one dared to poke him.
Let's get back to the topic and continue talking about the scandal. In fact, according to Chairman Xue's plan, even if Jing Rong didn't take the initiative to bring Zheng Yunhao there today, he would find a way to let her go. The press releases of several mainstream media in South Korea have been edited, waiting for Chairman Xue's order to be released. Now Jing Rong's active cooperation only makes the news more sensational.
In the morning, as soon as the news that Jingrong and Zheng Yunhao jointly sent President Xue to the hospital came out, it immediately attracted countless responses. Some reporters even wrote articles saying that in fact, Jingrong and Zheng Yunhao went to visit President Xue when he was recuperating in the countryside half a month ago, so fans' speculation that the two had met their parents and intended to get married was not nonsense.
This time, with Chairman Xue's covert manipulation, the news has become even more sensational. With the media's deliberate manipulation and the irresponsible fan fiction of fans, the love story of Kyungyoung and Jung Yunho is enough to move the entire Republic of Korea. Even if BigBang was so busy that they didn't even have time for lunch, they couldn't have been unaware of such news.
In fact, Big Bang is really busy today. They have been very busy during this period. Although the next concert is at the end of this month, apart from the concert, they are also busy with their own development. Big Bang is preparing to release a group album at the end of this year or early 2013. In addition, it has been decided before that G-Dragon, Taeyang and Seungri will release solo albums in 2013. These things keep people busy. As the captain, G-Dragon is the most tired one among them, but he likes to show off and insists on balancing work and love. Yesterday, in order to celebrate the 300-day anniversary of his relationship with his girlfriend, he turned down a lot of work, and he has to make up for it in the next two days. He has not rested since this morning and has been busy all the time.
The brothers' schedules for today were completely separate. At noon, Seungri finished a business activity and returned to the company with his agent. They went around a few places but didn't see G-Dragon. Then they saw TOP and Taeyang in the 2ne1 lounge, and Seungri walked in.
"Brother, have you seen Zhilong brother?"
Taeyang shook his head: "Giyong is recording a program today, and he has to rush over to attend an event afterwards. It will probably be quite late before he finishes."
"Oh..." Seungri nodded, looking at Top and Taeyang hesitantly, wanting to leave but not wanting to. Everyone present knew the meaning of his expression. Dara smiled and said, "Is there anything you can't just say it directly?"
Shengli glanced at the girls and forced a smile: "Nothing."
Seeing his worried look, Top and the others were also worried, so they stood up, said hello to 2ne1, and went out. As soon as they were out, Top put his arm around Seungri's shoulder and asked, "Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"
"This is definitely a big deal!" Seungri looked around and said hesitantly, "Let's go back to the lounge and talk about it." Although Seungri likes to join in the fun, he also knows that some things are serious, and this time it may not only be a matter of face for their Captain Quan, but also his and Jingrong's future.
Top and Taeyang let Seungri pull them into the lounge. Seungri carefully closed the door. Top, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but chuckle at his cautious look. "What big deal are you talking about?"
"I know you didn't watch the news this time." Seungri walked over with a serious face and sat down across from Top and the others, his expression solemn. "Taeyang, did you ask Jiyong or sister-in-law what happened last night?"
"No." Taiyang shook his head. "How can I have the nerve to ask such an embarrassing question?"
Seungri nodded without surprise. "I guess so. I was at an event today, and during the intermission, I heard some staff discussing something about my sister-in-law... and Jung Yunho-sun. Just this morning, Chairman Xue, who was originally recuperating in the countryside, became seriously ill, and my sister-in-law hurriedly transferred him back to Seoul Hospital. Jung Yunho-sun was by her side at the time. Now, rumors are everywhere online that Chairman Xue has agreed to Jung Yunho-sun's marriage to my sister-in-law, and they will be getting married soon."
Taeyang stared at Seungri with wide eyes: "Jingrong and Jung Yunho senior... Didn't Jingrong say he just wanted him to do a favor?!"
Seungri nodded with difficulty. If it weren't for Jingrong rejecting Quan Zhilong's proposal last night, they wouldn't have thought too much about it. After all, Jingrong had reminded them before that Zheng Yunhao's father and Chairman Xue were college classmates, and the two families knew each other for a long time. Zheng Yunhao helped Jingrong when she was desperate because of this relationship, which was nothing. They had seen a lot of media like to believe everything they heard and make use of the issue to make a big deal out of it. However, Jingrong rejected Quan Zhilong's proposal so obviously yesterday. Although they couldn't understand it, they gradually figured it out. Jingrong and Quan Zhilong were in love, which was a fact recognized by everyone. Since their relationship was so good, there was no other possibility for her to reject his proposal except family factors. They couldn't help but think about Jingrong's usual behavior. She was incredibly kind to Quan Zhilong, but later, even Quan Zhilong thought of bringing her home to meet his parents, yet she never once considered bringing Quan Zhilong home, and rarely mentioned Chairman Xue to them. Quan Zhilong had been cynical for over twenty years, and now he was increasingly describing their future together, yet Jingrong remained completely silent, as if they were destined for a lifelong relationship. This was especially true on Quan Zhilong's birthday, two weeks ago. Quan Zhilong was free that day, but Jingrong preferred to go back to the countryside alone to visit Chairman Xue, never even asking Quan Zhilong to accompany her. Even though Quan Zhilong had his own social engagements that day, if Jingrong had asked, he wouldn't have disagreed. Birthdays happen every year, but you can't just meet your future father-in-law whenever you want. Quan Zhilong couldn't possibly fail to distinguish between the important and the urgent.
So it wasn't that there weren't problems, it was just that they hadn't paid attention to them before. Now, thinking about it again, they could see many details they hadn't noticed before, and even had a feeling that they hadn't ended up like this for no reason. But none of the three of them could accept this ending. After all, they had watched them fall in love little by little, and yesterday, Jingrong rejected Quan Zhilong's proposal, and Quan Zhilong didn't change his expression. Given his personality, he must have been unable to bear the loss, otherwise he wouldn't have compromised to this extent.
They have always been so good, how come they suddenly became like this?
Top also found it unbelievable and asked again: "Victory, are you sure this is true?"
"I'm sure it's all over the internet, and the photos and everything are very clear..."
"Could it be that Jingrong and Zheng Yunhaoxi's fake play became real?"
"I don't know if it's real or not, but..." Seungri thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember Zhilong's birthday last time? That night at G.R., my sister-in-law didn't come. Zhilong seemed very worried. I was absent-minded when I talked to him. Then I don't remember what question I asked, but Zhilong suddenly stood up and walked out the door. After a while, he came in with a bad look on his face. Just as he sat down, my sister-in-law came back. Everyone was greeting her. I saw that Zhilong's expression was a little wrong. He didn't look happy, so I tentatively asked my sister-in-law if she had seen Zhilong outside before. The lights were a little dim, but I still felt that my sister-in-law's eyes changed slightly. After that, I don't know what she said to Zhiyong. At first, the atmosphere was not normal, and I didn't dare to go over to disturb them. But then they became completely fine again, and the next day they went to Jeju Island for vacation. I thought it was nothing serious, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But... I saw a news report today. Half a month ago, my sister-in-law went to the countryside to visit Chairman Xue. It turned out that she didn't go alone. Jung Yunho was with her. There was also a photo. It was the photo of Jung Yunho sending my sister-in-law to the door of G.R. that night. It was clear and didn't look fake.
Victory's words caught everyone off guard. Taiyang sat up abruptly: "Victory, are you sure this is true?"
Victory nodded, "I'm absolutely sure."
Top rubbed his temples with a headache: "I don't know if Zhilong knows about this now. Judging from his feelings for Jingrong, it should be difficult for him to accept it..."
Seungri nodded with difficulty. Sometimes he really thought he could be less sensitive and more vague. There's nothing wrong with that. "Don't even mention Jiyong. I feel bad for him. After all, he loves my sister-in-law so much. He must have seen Jung Yunho walk my sister-in-law over at the entrance of G.R. that day, but he kept silent, acting like nothing happened. Jiyong is such a proud man, but he could compromise to this extent. You can imagine how important this relationship is to him."
After analyzing this matter, it is not difficult to see how much G-Dragon has compromised in this relationship. Although he has been involved in constant scandals recently, from Kiko to Kim Jin-ah to Kim Dong-hwa, each one was more or less designed by someone. Ever since G-Dragon decided to live a good life with Jingrong, he has never been nice to any woman. However, Jingrong's friendly attitude towards Jung Yunho once made them secretly worried, but it was only because they had a good relationship with Jingrong and trusted her character that they did not care too much. They would usually persuade G-Dragon to be more open-minded. After all, they knew the relationship between Jung Yunho's father and Chairman Xue, and they felt that there was nothing wrong with them being closer. At least Jingrong was open-minded, but they were worried that G-Dragon would make a fuss and cause a rift in their relationship.
Knowing part of the situation doesn't mean that G-Dragon knows nothing. At least he saw that Jingrong and Jung Yunho had a close relationship, and he even didn't care about the fact that Jingrong took Jung Yunho to meet Chairman Xue without telling him. This is no longer something that the G-Dragon they know would do.
In the lounge, everyone was silent, their thoughts running wild. After a while, Taeyang frowned and said, "I still don't believe Jingrong would betray Zhilong... Even if that's true, there must be a compelling reason."
"I don't believe it either." Top nodded and said, "How about this, Yongpei, you have the best relationship with Jingrong, you can call or talk to her to find out the details of the situation, and I will call Zhilong to see his current situation."
"Okay." Taiyang nodded, then walked to the window with his phone and dialed Jingrong's number. The line rang for a while before it was connected. Jingrong's somewhat tired voice came over: "Taiyang."
"Jingrong." Taiyang asked directly without hesitation, "I just saw the news. I heard that you and Jung Yunho..."
Jing Rong paused and said, "Sun, can we meet?"
"Okay, I have an hour and a half. Where shall we meet?"
"I'm at the company. If it's convenient for you, come to my office to talk?"
"That's fine." After agreeing on a time, Taiyang hung up the phone, walked to the sofa, picked up his bag, and without waiting for Shengli and the others to ask him about the situation, he told her everything, "Jingrong asked me to go to the company to find her and talk to her in person."
Shengli was eager to try: "Do you need us to go together?"
"No need." Taiyang looked a little worried. "Looking at Jingrong's condition, it seems that he is not doing well... By the way, how is Zhilong doing?"
Top frowned: "The phone is turned off, it should still be at the event."
"Contact me anytime if you have any questions. I'm leaving now."
After Taeyang left, Seungri and Top still sat facing each other, not saying a word. However, when Top saw Seungri's expression, he knew he had something to say, so he asked directly, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Before, when Brother Taeyang was here, I couldn't say too much. Actually, I think the matter between my sister-in-law and Senior Jung Yunhao... is really uncertain. A friend secretly told me before that Senior Jung Yunhao's family seems to be very special. Didn't my sister-in-law also say last time that because of the misunderstanding of her relationship with Senior Jung Yunhao, Chairman Xue's business rivals didn't dare to make a move on the Xue Group. In order to block the news, my sister-in-law and her friends even sent Chairman Xue to the countryside to recuperate. Now they have brought him back with great fanfare. I think Chairman Xue's health condition is not optimistic. If Chairman Xue falls ill, my sister-in-law will definitely find a backer to ensure that she can smoothly inherit the Xue Group. So her relationship with Senior Jung Yunhao should be just like what is said online. Chairman Xue has already agreed to it."
Top frowned: "Since you already have that intention, why do you still want to follow Zhilong..."
"Ah, about the relationship..." Seungri shook his head. TOP and Jingrong had a good relationship, so it was hard to say too much. So he simply gave up and said, "Forget it. Let's see how Jiyong reacts when the time comes."
Seungri was a little worried: "I'm afraid Jiyong won't give up."
"If Jingrong and Senior Zheng Yunhao...what's there for him to get entangled with?" Top frowned and said, "When the time comes, even if he blames us, we must stop him. If we don't make up for it, we will suffer the consequences."
"If only Ji-Dragon was as carefree as Top," Seungri sighed, then suddenly looked at Top with his mouth wide open. Speaking of carefree, who could compare to G-Dragon in the past? Top hadn't been in a relationship for over a year since his last one, and he still hadn't completely let it go. But G-Dragon, when so many of his exes reappeared, was worse than a stranger. In the end, it was because he was truly in love this time that he couldn't be carefree.
Top and Victory suddenly realized the difficulty of their task.
After Sun joined the Xue Group, Secretary Lin took him to Jingrong's office with a complicated expression and suddenly said, "Sunxi..."
Sun looked at Secretary Lin in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"You're here this time, probably because of the president and GDXI issue, right?" Secretary Lin told Taiyang everything without waiting for his reply. "Actually, the president had no choice. She definitely didn't tell you. The last time the president was hospitalized, someone got the news that afternoon, and then a group of shareholders started a scene here. If the president hadn't rushed back from Japan in time and quickly resolved the matter, if the news had gotten out, the chairman of Xue Group would probably be replaced by someone else."
Taiyang paused, his expression complicated: "Is the situation really that serious?"
"This is just a small matter. In fact, the real situation the president is facing now is a hundred times more severe than this. Isn't it said that the business world is like a battlefield?" Secretary Lin said as he turned the sun, "...Please go this way... In fact, I think the president doesn't mind the current things. She really likes gdxi. At that time, someone deliberately sent a video that was easily misunderstood to the president, and spread the scandal between gdxi and other women everywhere. Our president endured it. She had never suffered such grievances before. It was because she couldn't bear to leave gdxi. It's just that the Xue Group is The president's life's work is her only daughter. No matter what the president says, he can't let the president's life's work fall into the hands of others, otherwise the president will never rest in peace!" Secretary Lin spoke very emotionally. Before the sun even set, she began to wipe her eyes. "The president has been under a lot of pressure in the past few months. From the company, from the president, and from herself. Why did the president rush to transfer the president back to the hospital in Seoul today? It's because the president knew that the president had met with gdxi's parents yesterday and fainted. Now the condition is very bad..."
Hearing this, Taiyang felt completely unwell. He wanted to ask, is his brother really that unworthy of Jingrong? Hearing that she went to Zhilong's house, President Xue was so angry that he fainted. If he knew that Zhilong proposed yesterday, how angry would President Xue be? Also, why did President Xue know? Jingrong was unlikely to tell. Was he worried about his daughter and had someone watching him? However, in this situation, Taiyang couldn't ask anything. First, he was an outsider, and this was not a question he could ask. Second, he also knew that everyone had their own reasons, just like President Xue. If he had no choice, why would he joke about Jingrong's happiness?
Taeyang suddenly felt that he shouldn't have made this trip. When he first learned about this, he was a little angry. After all, he was the one who had the best opinion of them and had always treated their affairs as his own. Whenever Jingrong and G-Dragon had a conflict, he was the one who worried the most. Whenever he encountered any problems in the past, his first reaction was to persuade Zhilong to explain to Jingrong. No matter who was right or wrong, everything would be over if a man admitted his mistake. However, Jingrong, whom he protected so much, actually had a not completely clean relationship with Jung Yunho when he was in love with Zhilong - at least they had met each other's parents and were considering getting married. How clean could it be? When Taeyang thought of his own anger, he could fully imagine how devastated G-Dragon would be when he knew about this, so he wanted to come over to understand the situation as soon as possible. Although he said he wanted to understand the situation, he actually had a questioning attitude. Taeyang, who always had the brightest and friendliest smile, came with a stern face today. This was why Secretary Lin said those words. In her opinion, her president was already very sad, and he was not understood by his good friend. How sad must he be, so she couldn't help but tell Taeyang everything she should and shouldn't say.
Taeyang then realized that the person who was most qualified to ask the question should be G-Dragon, and he felt like he was interfering in the cooking. Besides, Jingrong was also his friend, so how could he ignore her feelings?
Just when Taiyang was hesitating, Secretary Lin had already brought him to the door of Jingrong's office. Without waiting for Taiyang to speak, Secretary Lin knocked on the door and said, "President, Taiyangxi is here."
"Come in."
Secretary Lin pushed open the door, gestured for Sun to come in, then smiled sweetly and asked, "President, do you have any instructions?"
"Wait a moment." Jing Rong asked Taiyang, "Tea or coffee?"
"Anything is fine."
Jing Rong nodded and said to Secretary Lin, "Please make two cups of tea."
"OK."
After Secretary Lin served the tea and closed the door and left, Jingrong looked at Taiyang and said, "You came to see me because of what happened between Zhilong and me, right?"
Now that he was here, it was impossible for Sun to lie to Jingrong and say it wasn't true. He nodded, but looking at Jingrong's slightly pale face and the dark green under her eyes, he felt a little soft-hearted. They had met last night, and she was in good spirits at that time. After Zhilong's proposal and President Xue fainting because of their affairs, she must have had a hard time from yesterday to now, right? Sun thought so, and a little bit of pity appeared on his face. He asked softly, "Why do you look so bad?"
"Maybe it's because I didn't get enough rest." Jing Rong said nonchalantly, "This matter...I am sorry for him."
Taiyang's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped. He naturally knew what Jingrong meant. Although he was mentally prepared, he had also thought that Jingrong could hold on a little longer. However, when his eyes met Jingrong's exhausted face, he was speechless. What's the point of holding on? Just a trip to Zhilong's house would make President Xue faint. What if they wanted to develop further and President Xue was furious? Although this era is no longer a time when parents' orders are above everything else, as a child, who can be so unfilial as to let their parents die of anger? If Jingrong just wanted to be with Quan Zhilong and didn't care about President Xue's life or death, or President Xue's hard work, he wouldn't be happy either, because the Jingrong he knew and who sympathized with him would not be so selfish.
At that moment, Yang Yang suddenly understood all of Jing Rong's struggles. There was no need to question what Jing Rong's straightforward "I'm sorry" meant. This was Jing Rong's usual style, just like her before. She never spoke of her own stress and never dragged her feet on a decision. But this was a girl younger than him. Faced with such a situation, how could she possibly feel?
The sun's usually gentle gaze now looked at Jing Rong with a hint of heartache. Jing Rong didn't know what he was thinking. He simply put down the teacup and looked down at the one-meter sunlight leaking in through the window. The sunlight, which brought with it the warm scent of autumn, formed a sharp contrast with the dull atmosphere in the room. Jing Rong said in a low voice, "I know you might blame me. I really shouldn't have done this. I admit my mistake."
"Jingrong." Taiyang couldn't help but hold Jingrong's hand, "Don't say that, I know you have no choice."
Jing Rong shook his head and smiled, pulled his hand back, and continued the previous topic: "I appreciate your concern during this period, but Zhilong may still have some troubles, so please take care of him. However, it shouldn't take too long... If we don't have the chance to meet, we will probably forget about it as time goes by."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yang's eyebrows jumped. He wanted to ask Jing Rong what he meant by "no chance of meeting", but Jing Rong shook his head at him and continued, his tone as if he was explaining his last wishes. His voice was as calm and composed as ever, but with a strong sense of repression: "By the way, I plan to transfer G.R. to your name in a few days. It depends on the situation. It doesn't matter who you give it to or whether you sell it and close it down. Last time I heard that you have a good friend of the opposite sex. It's pretty good. It doesn't matter whether they are in the same circle or not. It's okay as long as you get along well. But try to give them more sense of security. You know, you two are too dazzling, and being your other half is too stressful."
The more she spoke, the more it sounded like she was recounting her last wishes. Taiyang felt increasingly depressed. He wanted to interrupt Jingrong, but she paused first, even in a joking tone. Taiyang smiled ingratiatingly. Jingrong paused, then continued, "If possible, keep an eye on him and don't let him mess around anymore. Find a good girl to live with. Don't give in to me or anything like that. There's really no need for that. Your life is your own. Besides, even if you can get revenge on me, what's the use? Living a good life is better than anything else. But I think if you want to find a girlfriend, forget about someone like Mizuhara Kiko. She's too preoccupied and could easily cause trouble. It's too troublesome. Jin Donghua isn't any good either. My father brought her back for money, not because he really wanted to get back together with him. But Jin Zhener is really good. She has a clean family background. Although she was a bit arrogant in the past, people change. Compared to all his exes, Jin Zhener is the most sincere and loyal one..."
Yang Yang really wanted to ask, after all that, wasn't she sad? How would she live in the future?
Jing Rong chattered on and on for a long time. This was the first time that Taiyang saw Jing Rong being so talkative, but he didn't think that it damaged her usual cold image at all. Instead, he felt sad. If he was not a man, he would have cried his heart out by now, at least he could vent.
However, the truth is always so hurtful. In fact, compared to the heart-wrenching pain that Taiyang imagined, Jingrong's mood was much simpler. She was just relaxed with some heavy and contradictory feelings. She was about to complete the task and she was relieved. However, for this task, she was bound to hurt Quan Zhilong's fragile heart. And now, in order to appease Chairman Xue, she pulled Zheng Yunhao down again. She felt very guilty for pulling Zheng Yunhao down last time. Now she was engaged to him, but sooner or later she would leave. How would Zheng Yunhao deal with it then?
A mission hurt two people. Compared to G-Dragon, Jung Yunho seemed more innocent, so Jingrong naturally felt heavy. The reason why Jingrong said so much to Taeyang, contrary to his usual behavior, was not only because he had a lot of things in his heart and wanted to find a channel to clear them out, but more importantly, he had a good relationship with Taeyang. Zhang Zhiyao, Cui Yingya, Dong Yang and the others were all people the original owner knew before. Even if Jingrong treated them as his own family now, he felt a little uncomfortable talking to them. Jung Yunho was someone she knew later and had a good relationship with. However, the more she used him, the more guilty Jingrong felt, and it became more difficult for her to say these deepest words. It would be best if she had a friend like Taeyang who she trusted completely, had no psychological burden, and was very relaxed and natural to get along with. That was the most suitable person to talk to. So Jingrong hadn't planned to say all this, but just looking at Taeyang's concerned eyes, she unconsciously said a lot.
This scared Taiyang to death. Although he didn't show it, he really felt that Jingrong was making arrangements for his funeral. It seemed that everything now was just a stopgap measure. After President Xue passed away, she would not live either. After all, Taiyang had a good relationship with Jingrong, so he could even detect this subtle and ridiculous feeling.
Just when the sun appeared calm but was actually terrified, Jing Rong's eyes passed over his head, as if looking through the wall into the distance. Her voice was also light and a little ethereal: "The person I feel most sorry for in my life is him..."
Without Jingrong explaining who that "he" was, Taiyang could tell that he was incredibly heartbroken. He couldn't show it, so he could only lower his head and pretend he didn't care. Accidentally glancing at the time, he gave a wry smile and said, "I should be leaving now. I have an event to attend later."
"It's okay, go ahead." Jing Rong stood up and prepared to see Taiyang out. Before leaving, Taiyang asked, "When were you and Jung Yunho senior...?"
Jing Rong paused and said calmly, "When my father's condition stabilizes, the two families will meet and get engaged first."
"So...when are we getting married?"
"No plans." Jing Rong's expression became even more indifferent. Being engaged was already her limit. She would leave sooner or later, and marrying Jung Yunho was just cheating him.
Taeyang's activities continued until after ten o'clock in the evening. He took the phone from his agent and opened it to see a series of missed calls. There were calls from his teammates, the company, and even from Kwon Dami. Taeyang was stunned. Although he didn't know what the specific call was, he knew it was related to G-Dragon. Taeyang was about to call Kwon Dami back, but his agent pulled him aside and said, "Youngbae, have you contacted Ji-Dragon today?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Nan Guo called me a while ago and said that after Zhilong finished his trip, he disappeared without a trace. The staff on site didn't see where he went, and he didn't take anything with him except his phone, wallet and keys. But no one answered his phone. Nan Guo is now very worried. He contacted all his close friends, but no one said they saw him..."
Taeyang frowned, "How long has it been since Jiyong lost contact?"
"It seems like three or four hours..."
Taiyang nodded, holding his phone and thinking of calling Jingrong first. But before he could dial, he received a call from Jingrong. On the other end of the phone, Jingrong said a little tiredly: "Taiyang, can you come over? I'm at No. xx, xx Street. Zhilong is drunk."
"Okay, I'll be right there." After saying that, Taiyang threw his phone into his pocket and said while looking for his things, "Brother, you help me. I'll contact Nanguo and Zhilong's family and tell them that the person has been found. I'll take him back to the dormitory, and then have Top and the others come to xx Street, xx Road."
"Don't you want me to take you there?"
"No need, I can just take a taxi. It's so late, you should go back and rest early." After saying this, Taiyang hurried away.
When Taiyang arrived at the address Jingrong mentioned, he found it was a very chaotic bar with bright lights, wine and women, and a lot of chaos. He never liked this kind of place, so he walked in with a frown, looked around in the corner, and then saw two familiar figures in an inconspicuous booth. Jingrong also saw Taiyang at this time, stood up and waved to him. The person in her arms thought she was going to leave, and immediately pulled her hard. Jingrong suddenly fell into the sofa, and G-Dragon hugged her waist tightly.
In the dim light, Jingrong's face was hard to see, but Yang Yang could imagine the helpless and distressed expression on her face. Zhilong was upset, but wasn't she upset too? They loved each other equally, and there were reasons why they couldn't be together in the end, and now it seemed as if she had really let him down. But although Yang Yang felt sorry for Jingrong and also felt bad for his brother, in fact, neither of them was wrong. Wouldn't it have been better if they hadn't met or wanted to fall in love in the first place? He was so actively trying to bring them together, but was he wrong?
Thinking of this, Sun suddenly felt guilty.
The author has something to say: Ahhh, I really have a cold again. Counting how many times this year has this happened┭┮﹏┭┮I wanted to make up for it, but I'm powerless. I'll just leave it as is. How about updating a little more tomorrow? I'll make it clear in advance that even if you're angry, don't hit someone in the face. Hitting someone in the face hurts your self-esteem.
