"I heard you're having a meeting in Pusan today?
There's no banquet at noon? "
During lunch, Mrs. Zheng was expressionless, Jung Eun-thi shrunk her neck, Zheng Minji looked left and right, and Tang Jinyan sat upright.
Mr. Zheng calmly poured Tang Jinyan a glass of wine and asked casually as if they were old friends.
"Lunch is just a work banquet. The main event is the banquet."
"Well, in that case, eat more here. I don't know if you're used to Eun-thi's mother's cooking."
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it … Auntie's cooking is very good …"
Mr. Zheng sipped his wine and suddenly asked, "Is this what you mean by 'always cautious'?"
Tang Jinyan was silent for a moment and replied, "Maybe."
"I expected this day to come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
I've thought about how I should express my stance, but I couldn't come up with anything in the end.
When I finally see it, I just sigh and feel that it's really a sin, right? "
Tang Jinyan did not answer this question. Instead, he said, "Uncle, don't go abroad. The whole family is here. Minji is still studying, so he can't take care of the family.
In the future, when you work in Tang Dynasty, we've always had a good working relationship. "
Mr. Zheng shook his head. "I'll pass. In the future, when Minji gets a job, you'll have to take care of him."
"That's a must. Leave it to me."
Zheng Minji was overjoyed. "I want to be a man like my brother-in-law!"
Tang Jinyan looked at him meaningfully. "That's not difficult.
You have a lot of potential. "
Mr. Zheng seemed to understand the meaning behind his words, but he did not say anything. Jung Eun-thi did not say anything either.
The atmosphere turned gloomy and awkward. The family quietly finished their meal. Tang Jinyan got up and left. Jung Eun-thi also stood up and followed behind him … She did not want to stay behind to face the trial alone.
Mr. Zheng did not say a word until the two of them left.
Mrs. Zheng, who had been holding back for the entire meal, finally could not help but say, "You didn't even say a few words to Eun-thi?
Are you so willing?
Eun-thi is your mistress … "
Mr. Zheng glanced at her and shook his head. "You don't have to say that."
"Why?"
"Because he is Tang Jinyan."
*****
Jung Eun-thi followed Tang Jinyan all the way back to the Lotte Hotel where he was staying.
Along the way, he stared at Tang Jinyan with a strange expression. "How on earth did you manage to make my Old Zheng behave like this?"
"The interactions between people have their own fate."
Tang Jinyan drove into the presidential suite and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery of Pusan. "A long time ago, I knew that there was some tacit understanding between your father and I. At least, he had seen through Tang Jinyan."
"What did you see?"
"He saw that I won't let you go. He saw that he can't stop me. And he also saw that … I will definitely treat you well."
Jung Eun-thi turned to look at him and suddenly smiled. "Mm." She paused, and then asked, "Should I go and see Soyeon Oni?"
Tang Jinyan asked curiously, "Why do you ask?"
"To make her feel at ease."
"No need. She's very at ease."
"Oh … then can I ask you another question?"
"Go ahead."
Jung Eun-thi lay on the bed without a care for her image and said lazily, "You have so many women. Aren't you afraid that you'll die in a few years?
Do you want me to help you digest a few of them? "
Tang Jinyan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You're really big-hearted."
"Tang Jinyan …"
"Mm?"
"I don't know why, but although I can call you OPPA now, I always feel that calling you Tang Jinyan sounds more intimate."
Tang Jinyan blinked his eyes and looked at her for a long time, then smiled. "Then Tang Jinyan it is."
Tang Jinyan stayed in Pusan for more than a week to deal with these matters after the reorganization of Hanjin Shipping into Tang Shipping.
During these days, Jung Eun-thi did not return to Seoul. Instead, she stayed with him at the hotel every night.
She seemed to be very stable in accepting the current situation, and there were almost no ripples in her mood. All that could be seen was her cheerful smiling eyes. Every time Tang Jinyan saw her crescent-shaped smile, he did not want to move his eyes away.
Tang Jinyan even felt that Jung Eun-thi was smiling more than usual these days …
Was it an illusion?
"No, after letting go of some things, I really feel a lot more relaxed," Jung Eun-thi leaned in his arms and said casually, "I've been struggling with it for two years, and I also feel uncomfortable.
Anyway … I can never resist you, so I can only accept it.
Now you can do whatever you want, and I'll let go of my worries and live happily. Isn't that good? "
"You …" Tang Jinyan asked tentatively, "Yoon-rim and Minkyung are getting married.
Do you want to be Minkyung's bridesmaid? "
Jung Eun-thi instantly understood the concept. She shook her head with a smile. "I don't want that." She paused and added, "I don't want anything."
Because she did not need to. In Tang Jinyan's heart, she had always been different from others. What was the point of the "ceremony" to make herself feel better?
She did not say this out loud, but Tang Jinyan also understood what she meant. He nodded, but said, "But Minkyung needs a bridesmaid, so no one can be …"
Jung Eun-thi smiled. "If that's the case, I'll do it together with Chulong and Oni."
Tang Jinyan lowered his head to look at her smiling eyes, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. This girl had actually grown up a long time ago, and she was much more sensible now. She was no longer the ignorant and careless girl of the past.
Why did she do it with Chulong?
Because she wanted to tell Park Soyeon through this action that she and Chulong were the same when she was with him, and please don't hold any grudges …
Over the years, she was not the only one who had changed and grown up.
The CEO of Tang Dynasty Shipping was Jiang Minjing's grandfather. In fact, he was already in charge of various matters these days. Tang Jinyan was just there to hold the fort.
When Tang Jinyan returned to Seoul, he would be the actual helmsman of Tang Dynasty Shipping.
During these days, the wedding invitations of Lee Yoon-rim and Jiang Minjing had been quietly sent to the upper class. In the eyes of those who knew the inside story, it was a marriage between Samsung and Han Jin.
Well, to be exact, it was a marriage between Samsung and Tang Dynasty.
In essence, it was equivalent to Lee Jianxi marrying his daughter to Tang Jinyan, and Tang Jinyan's betrothal gift was Han Jin Shipping.
It was an extremely large sum of money, and a very clear meaning.
The impact of this event on the political and business landscape of Korea was even worthy of a detailed report and analysis by various think tanks. The impact was far-reaching.
Because of these factors, Lee Yoon-rim and Jiang Minjing's wedding was held in Pusan.
Lee Yoon-rim and Jiang Minjing were both in Seoul at the moment. In addition to official business, Tang Jinyan was also in charge of the wedding arrangements in Pusan these days.
Because the wedding itself couldn't be opened to the public, it was a semi-confidential affair. The main activity area was the church and the hotel, so almost the entire Lotte Hotel was booked and decorated with lanterns and streamers.
At this time, Pu Chulong was summoned to Pusan by Jung Eun-thi.
To be honest, Jung Eun-thi didn't want to be the bridesmaid for some special reasons, but Pu Chulong still wanted to be the bridesmaid.
Anyway, she had completed the ceremony with him under the witness of countless people. For women, this was a very important thing.
Pu Chulong saw Jung Eun-thi in Tang Jinyan's room in Lotte Hotel. Tang Jinyan was busy outside, and Jung Eun-thi was alone in the room, lying on the bed and listening to music without caring about her image. She kicked her two big feet, which was a very unbearable scene.
Pu Chulong was used to it. She leaned against the door and watched for a while. The first sentence she said was: "You seem to be in a good mood."
Jung Eun-thi replied with a smile: "Hmm."
"Tsk … You've also unlocked the shackles, right?"
Pu Chulong threw down her bag and accompanied her to lie on the bed. She sighed: "Now that I see you, it's not so awkward."
"Is Oni embarrassed to see me?"
"Don't pretend. Don't you know?"
"Is it because you're my wife, but you're having an affair with another man?"
Pu Chulong burst out laughing and reached out to tickle her armpit: "What do you think?"
Jung Eun-thi resisted with a smile: "The couple in this wedding is his woman. What's interesting is that we're also his bridesmaids.
Is he a professional? Does he collect gifts from married couples? "
Pu Chulong was stunned for a while, and then nodded: "The first couple in T-ara to fall for him was the Soju couple. When he was younger, it was Yunxian."
The two women stopped fooling around and looked at each other in horror: "His sexual orientation is very strange!"
"Hey …" Tang Jinyan stood by the door and knocked twice: "Don't you feel ashamed talking about people behind their backs?"
Pu Chulong turned around and smiled: "Did we say anything wrong?"
Tang Jinyan laughed: "At least your couple doesn't count."
"Why not?
Our mommy and daddy have been a couple for several years! "
"For a cultured person like me, the most interesting thing is …" Tang Jinyan closed the door, took off his clothes and rushed over: "It's obviously riding a dragon to plow the land!"
Pu Chulong vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard this word before. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning, she understood everything when she connected it to the current scene.
Seeing him rushing over impatiently, it was imaginable that he had been holding this idea in his heart for many years … Pu Chulong obediently let him press on her body and kiss her, but she was still worried about Eun-thi. She carefully turned her head and saw Jung Eun-thi leaning on her side and looking very interested …
Pu Chulong couldn't help but laugh. There was nothing to worry about. Had Eun-thi not repeatedly made such deductions and preparations in her heart for so long?
Since she had entered the game, this little idiot probably wanted to see this scene for a long time …
Pu Chulong completely let go of her thoughts and took the initiative to hug him: "Then … as you wish."
