Chapter 107 Fate
Hearing her sister's words, Zheng Xiujing's eyes lit up with infinite joy. She quickly put down the spoon and said excitedly: "Really, unnie? Have you forgiven brother?"
Jessica Jung stared at Zheng Xiuheng blankly, nodded, and then shook her head.
Zheng Xiujing became nervous again and asked hurriedly: "Then unnie..."
"Don't worry, Ouni won't interfere with your contact with him from now on. It's just that I have something to tell him, and I have to!"
Jessica Jung's voice was more serious than ever before. After saying this, she lowered her head and slowly began to eat.
Zheng Xiujing was a little flustered. Half a month ago, she finally couldn't help it. After returning to the company, she told Zheng Xiuyan about what happened in the past two years without Zheng Xiuheng's knowledge. She thought her sister would be very excited to find out that she was wrong, and then go back to her brother to make peace, but the result was not like that.
Emotions are the most complicated things in people's hearts. In fact, Krystal Jung and Jessica Jung are the same. Two years ago, most of the memories of Jung Soo-hyung were from the best moments of their childhood.
The difference is that two years ago, because of an incident, their relationship developed in a completely different way.
Similarly, in the past, due to Zheng Xiuheng's physical condition, sometimes Zheng Xiuyan took care of him more like an older sister, and Zheng Xiuheng could only feel the feeling of a brother in the still ignorant Zheng Xiujing.
In the days after they separated, the three of them could only see each other once a year. When Zheng Xiuheng came to South Korea two years ago, the three of them did not feel strange. Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan were happy to have a brother to take care of them, but this could not ignore the years of separation.
And all this turned to two extremes because of that one incident.
This is why Jessica Jung hates Jung Soo-heng so much.
For Krystal Jung, it is not that complicated. Brother...the closest brother to her is her brother Soo-heng.
“It’s time to end it!”
Jessica Jung moved the spoon mechanically and made a decision with red eyes.
The atmosphere at the table was a little awkward, and Zheng Xiuheng couldn't understand why Kim Hyun-a was so unfriendly to the girl named Lee Ji-eun?
Although it was unfriendly, she just avoided contact and looked at her coldly. She looked very unhappy that Zheng Xiuheng knew her.
He shook his head helplessly, looked at the girl who was sitting beside him and didn't know what to do, and said with a smile: "What is the matter that brought you here? Can you tell me?"
Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Li Zhien was a little nervous, thinking about her purpose...
"Ah, I forgot there was a selection!"
The four people in the room looked at her with frowns, including Kim Hyun-A, whom she disliked.
After realizing the current situation, Li Zhien blushed again and said, "Well, big brother, I just want to return your guitar to you. Dad has seen that guitar and said it is very expensive, so I went to the place where I saw you last time. I waited for many days but didn't see you. Later, I heard an old lady say that you moved!"
While Zheng Xiuheng was a little surprised, he also understood why this girl followed him out when he left JYP just now.
Tapping the oil dish with chopsticks, Zheng Xiuheng looked at Li Zhien and said with a smile: "It seems impolite to accept something given by others and then give it back!"
"Tsk, don't give it to me!" Kim Hyun-A muttered in dissatisfaction, and then stuffed the big piece of barbecue into her mouth.
The sound was not loud, and Lee Ji-eun next to her did not hear it, but An So-hee on the opposite side heard it, looked at Kim Hyun-a curiously, and then ate the barbecue in silence.
Min Xianyi sat next to Zheng Xiuheng, the main griller of the dinner, and at this moment she listened to the conversation between the two very quietly. After the last meeting, Min Xianyi was very curious about this man who accurately evaluated her singing, especially since this senior was so amazing and kind.
The last time Zheng Xiuheng pushed her, Min Xianyi had already given Zheng Xiuheng a good guy card in her heart.
Hearing Zheng Xiuheng talking about guitar with the little girl, I was once again confirmed that Zheng Xiuheng has a high level of musical literacy.
"But, but, but it's too expensive... I'm, I'm sorry!" Looking at Lee Ji-eun who suddenly bowed to apologize, Zheng Xiuheng smiled. Such a little girl would naturally lose her courage under his sharp eyes, not to mention that in Korea, respect for the elderly is the key, and rebellious elements like Kim Hyun-a are still a minority.
Zheng Xiuheng did not reject the concept of fate. Although he felt a little annoyed when he saw the girl again, his knot in his heart was untied and he was no longer so entangled.
"Let's eat. Let's not talk about the guitar anymore. Use it well. This is the greatest reward for the gift!"
“This, this…”
"Huh?" Jessica Jung put on a cold face again, her eyes widened a little, and looked at Lee Ji-eun.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will use it well, big brother!"
Seeing the girl who looked like a student facing the dean of discipline, Zheng Xiuheng nodded and simply put away his smile and said, "Then let's eat, and then come back early after eating... Oh, by the way, did you pass the preliminary selection at the entrance of JYP today?"
"Yeah!" Lee Ji-eun nodded, shaking the chopsticks she was holding nervously.
"So what do we do now?"
"Ah, that... I don't know!"
Seeing Lee Ji-eun's frustrated look, Zheng Xiuheng shook his head. He couldn't just watch this girl, who was about the same age as Crystal Princess, fail in the selection, especially since he had given her a guitar.
"Sing a song for me. If you sing well, I will bring you back to the company for training!"
"Brother, are you also from JYP?" Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up and she put aside the matter of the guitar for the moment and asked with some anticipation.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said, "No, I'm a scout from the Antenna Family!"
"Wait, uncle, what is the Antenna Family? Is it the Teletubbies family?" Kim Hyun-ah asked in surprise. She knew that the uncle was also in the entertainment industry, but when the Antenna Family came out, Kim Hyun-ah's first reaction was Teletubbies.
"The company name is in English, and it sounds a bit rustic in Korean. But when you get home later, you can check the news online, and you should be able to see information related to our company!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lee Ji-eun and asked, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to sing a song to try it out?"
Lee Ji-eun thought that she would definitely not be able to . The larger the company, the more formal the audition. Her behavior was like giving up the opportunity. However, Lee Ji-eun did not understand so many reasons. She just felt that if she ran away, she would not be able to go back, and she was too embarrassed to go again.
After hearing what Zheng Xiuheng said, Li Zhien didn't think too much and nodded quickly: "I do, I do!"
In her opinion, Zheng Xiuheng, this older brother, could not be a bad person. He gave her such a good opportunity and gave her a guitar worth tens of millions. If he was a bad person, he could only be a human trafficker.
"Then let's sing... Lee So-ra's 'Ten Million'!" Zheng Xiuheng said casually, picking up the food grilled by Min Xianyi with his chopsticks without any hesitation.
Min Xianyi's hands, which were grilling meat, paused, and she looked at Zheng Xiuheng in surprise, but Zheng Xiuheng did not look at her. He did not have any strange ideas, but he just happened to see Min Xianyi thinking of the song "Millions" she sang last time, and he could use this song to test Lee Ji-eun's limits. It's not strange that she can't sing well. Although Zheng Xiuheng is not a real music producer, he can also simply judge some potential problems of ordinary people.
If you have potential, you will be sent to the Big Three for training. If you don’t have potential, you can still be trained, but the goal is not to become a singer.
"Thousands, tens of millions?" Lee Ji-eun asked carefully.
"Is it not possible?" Zheng Xiuheng asked back.
“Yes, sure!”
After responding to Jung Soo-hyung, Lee Ji-eun saw that everyone's eyes in the private room were on her, and she felt very nervous. However, when she thought about the few people who would be there when she participated in the audition in the afternoon, and she didn't know anyone except Jung Soo-hyung, she slowly calmed down.
Seeing Lee Ji-eun regain her composure, Zheng Xiuheng's eyes lit up slightly. Apart from anything else, she was extremely nervous before, but now she was about to sing and she adjusted her mood so quickly. It was really rare for a little girl.
Kim Hyun-ah had no feelings for the girl who suddenly came out and affectionately called the uncle "big brother". There was nothing special about it, just a simple girl's resistance. At this moment, she also wanted to see how this girl could sing.
"I can't forget you
I still miss you with tears
I often get drunk and crazy
sorry……"
Unexpectedly, yet understandably, as soon as Lee Ji-eun started singing, everyone in the room could tell that her basic skills were pretty good and she sang very steadily.
"Tsk, it's almost the same as mine!"
Listening to Kim Hyun-a's mumbling, Zheng Xiuheng just smiled, thinking that this girl was already eighteen years old, and was extremely mature in some aspects, but extremely childish in other aspects.
"No matter what, please come back
Hope you come back again
Silently waiting for you until late
This won't work.
Don't stay away from me
Please, come closer to me..."
“Boom boom!”
"Sir, this is a restaurant, not a karaoke room. I'm sorry, but you guys are too loud!"
"Sorry, we got it!" Zheng Xiuheng responded to the waiter at the door. Li Zhien also stopped singing, her cheeks warmed up, and she immediately became nervous again.
After about ten seconds, Zheng Xiuheng smiled and said, "Let's eat!"
