Chapter 65 is just about exposing shortcomings, come on!
Breakfast ended in an atmosphere that was both calm and unsettling.
Not long after Jessica Jung put down her chopsticks, she suddenly got up and started clearing the dishes.
Before she could react, Jessica said, "What? Not content with just eating and drinking for free, you can't even clean up the dishes?"
She looked at Jessica Jung and suddenly smiled.
"Tsk, Chen Ran is good enough at cooking, we can't let him do the cleaning too."
Jessica puffed out her cheeks and quickly stood up.
It's just washing dishes, as if anyone can't do that.
She also started tidying up, but her movements were clearly not as skillful as Jessica's.
The advantage of living 13 years longer is starting to show.
Jessica placed her dishes in the sink and began washing them skillfully, muttering to herself:
"What's the use of being good with words? When it comes to actually doing things, the difference becomes immediately apparent."
You think I'm just good at talking back?
Tch, childish!
I don't play by the rules. I'll find an opportunity to stab you in the back every now and then, making you feel frustrated but unable to vent your anger. That's what makes it interesting.
Outside the kitchen, Jessica Jung, who had just finished cleaning up her dishes, felt her face heat up upon hearing this, and she gritted her teeth.
It's just washing and cleaning dishes; she'll start practicing it from today!
Jessica washed the dishes and returned to the living room. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, leisurely turned on the TV, and occasionally ate some fruit after the meal.
After a while, Jessica Jung also finished washing the dishes and came back, sitting down on the short sofa diagonally opposite Jessica.
Jessica glanced at her, shifted her posture, elegantly crossed her legs, and said:
"If you have any questions for me, just ask."
"You can ask me anything?"
Jessica Jung looked at her and asked a question, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
"certainly."
Jessica, her eyes fixed on the television, answered without hesitation.
"it is good."
Jessica Jung took out her phone and opened the notes app.
Noticing her movement, Jessica raised an eyebrow.
Wow, you're quite well prepared.
Let me guess, her first question will definitely be whether I have started a fashion brand and whether it has been successful.
She has already thought of an answer to this question.
"It was founded, then it went bankrupt."
These five short words alone were enough to give Jessica Jung quite a shock.
On the other end, Jessica Jung spoke up.
"The first question."
Jessica gave a lazy "hmm," her eyes still fixed on the TV, exuding a sense of composure as if she had everything under control.
"The future me, which is you, failed in starting a fashion brand and was badly scammed by Kwon Ning-il, right?"
???
Jessica instantly turned her head to look at Jessica Jung, swallowing back the words "It's gone bankrupt" that were on the tip of her tongue.
No, who taught you to ask questions like that?
Shouldn't you be asking me about the future?
Across from her, Jessica Jung ignored her confusion and continued to ask:
"My second question is, you were removed from the group in September 2014, right?"
Jessica's face gradually darkened.
"My third question is, after your brand went bankrupt, you returned to your old idol career, jumping around on stage at over thirty years old, is that right?"
Jessica pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists.
"One last question. Because of you, Krystal was effectively sidelined, and she had to leave the stage she loved at the young age of 20, right?"
"ah!"
Jessica couldn't hold back any longer and roared.
She did it on purpose! She absolutely did it on purpose!!!
Every word and phrase struck her right in the heart.
Wait, how did Jessica Jung know all this?
Jessica thought for a moment and then came up with the answer.
Chen Ran!
Jessica's chest heaved violently.
That bastard!
He actually told Jessica Jung everything.
Across from her, Jessica Jung put down her phone.
She definitely asked that question on purpose.
Who told this woman to deliberately provoke her? Doesn't she know she only responds to gentle persuasion and not force?
However, she really wanted to ask Jessica how she managed to keep going down a dark path and falling into pitfalls at every turn.
She was kicked out of the group, deceived by a man, which led to Krystal being effectively blacklisted, and ultimately her fashion brand went bankrupt.
The bamboo basket was empty.
The things Chen Ran talked about with her last night, when she sorted through the information after waking up this morning, she found it increasingly hard to believe.
No, is this really something I'll do in the future? I'm afraid I've been cursed.
"I'd really like to know, what were you thinking back then?"
Sensing the accusatory tone in her words, Jessica remained silent, her face as cold as ice, staring intently at her.
Jessica Jung didn't back down and stared straight at her.
"Oh"
Jessica suddenly sneered, "You talk as if you're some kind of genius."
It's just about exposing each other's shortcomings, come on!
"You are clearly the most senior member of the group, having been a trainee for seven years, yet you were replaced by Kim Tae-yeon, a woman who has only trained for less than three years, who took the leader position."
"As the lead vocalist, even though her voice is the most distinctive, she has always been overshadowed by Kim Tae-yeon and her singing skills are inferior."
Jessica Jung's expression changed slightly.
"I wanted to be an actor, and even gave up the opportunity to debut in a sub-unit. But I didn't expect my acting skills to be so bad. Instead of the successful transformation I imagined, I only have a dark history, and my personal resources have also been downgraded."
"Crunch crunch"
Jessica Jung's phone case was gradually gripped tightly, making a rubbing sound.
"Even the fashion brand you've been conceiving about for over a year, the one you're most interested in, you can't do now."
"You have no resources, no connections, what are you going to do? Do you really think the fashion industry is so easy to get into? Let me tell you clearly, you have no chance! Just stick to being an idol."
"Shut up!"
Jessica Jung couldn't take it anymore either.
Two gazes collided in mid-air, neither willing to give way.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense.
---
Around 5 p.m., Chen Ran walked out of the conference room after finishing a day of auditions.
After parting ways with director Li Yingfu, who was traveling with him, he took out his phone and glanced at it.
There is still no news about Jessica Jung or Jessica.
So is this good news or bad news?
These two shouldn't fight at home, right?
After all, they are all adults, not children, and Jessica is 13 years older than them.
Chen Ran walked out of the SBS building, got back into his car, started the engine, and drove home.
Nearly half an hour later, I got home.
Chen Ran opened the door after 12 years.
There was no sound coming from inside the room.
He listened carefully, but still heard nothing.
Huh? Are neither of them home?
Chen Ran changed into slippers and walked into the house. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Jessica sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"I'm back."
Jessica, who was scrolling through her phone, looked up and greeted him.
"Um."
Chen Ran smiled and responded, but his gaze swept around the room.
Jessica rolled her eyes at the sight.
"Don't bother looking anymore, Jessica Jung went back; she has an unexpected appointment."
"Oh, I see."
Chen Ran nodded and sat down next to Jessica.
After thinking for a moment, I still asked, "You two...didn't have a fight, did you?"
"No, what's there to make noise about?"
Jessica replied immediately, but her eyes involuntarily darted away for a moment.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in a moving van.
Jessica Jung sat in the back row, still unable to suppress her anger.
Nasty old woman!
I'm so angry!!
Next time we meet, I'll make you pay!
