PNB Chapter 37 Cui Zi, a Bully at Home
Chapter 37 Cui Zi, a Bully at Home
Choi Ja scoffed, completely unfazed by her threat. "Oh ho, big star, are you threatening me? I'm so scared! Should I call a couple of reporters over so the fans can see what kind of person their idol is in private? Hahahaha!!!"
"What are you talking about, you little brat? A rough estimate?"
Park Jiyeon got angry at his retort. She had always thought Choiza wasn't a good person. In trying to persuade Sulli to break up with him, the two almost lost their friendship. It was only after Lee Ji-eun intervened that the matter was resolved.
As expected, Sulli complained every few days that Choiza didn't come home and wouldn't go on the schedules arranged by the company. She stayed at home crying every day, and even so, she was unwilling to break up, which gave Park Jiyeon a huge headache.
"What, you're resorting to violence when you can't win an argument?"
Choi Ja grinned and leaned closer. "Come on, try touching me. If you dare to touch me, I'll take my anger out on your best friend, Shirley, when we get back. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, even the usually good-tempered Lin Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. What kind of god is this? His girlfriend committed suicide and he didn't care at all, and he even kept provoking her. Is he even human?
In my past life, I watched videos and thought it was just a relationship problem. It wasn't until a few years later that the two broke up and were still showing affection on social media, and I heard that the content was quite explicit. Now it seems that's not the case.
*Smack!*
Lee Ji-eun couldn't stand him talking about her best friend like that, so she slapped him across the face. "You...you're a beast." Her trembling hands showed how angry she was.
Sulli's parents were vampires to begin with, and now her boyfriend is inhuman too. She's really suffering.
Lin Yuan immediately stepped forward and took her hand, asking worriedly, "Ji-eun, calm down, is your hand hurt?"
"I'm fine." She shook her hand and glared fiercely at Cui Zi.
"Damn it, I was the one who got beaten up. You're asking her if she was hurt?"
Cui Zi was stunned for a moment and began to doubt himself.
He could stand up for himself and fight back against idols like Park Jiyeon who were boycotted by the entire internet. But Lee Ji-eun's status made him afraid to fight back, and he didn't even dare to say anything harsh. He knew what was more important, not to mention that he had Lin Yuan by his side, who had recently become very famous.
"I can't be bothered arguing with you. You can play the good Samaritan if you want, but you can take care of Shirley yourselves."
After saying that, he left the ward without looking back. Shirley on the hospital bed silently shed two lines of hot tears. Lin Yuan noticed but did not make a fuss. Let her decide her own family matters.
"You guys stay here with me for now. I'm going to buy some food so Shirley can have some energy when she wakes up."
"Thank you for your help."
Park Jiyeon forced a smile and nodded.
Lee Ji-eun straightened his collar, feeling guilty that her nice date had been ruined.
"Be careful on the road and come back soon!"
"It's okay, I'll go now."
Lin Yuan found a Chinese restaurant nearby and ordered a chicken soup and some lightly stir-fried dishes for them. He then ordered a green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl for himself and wolfed it down.
Hiss~ Whoosh~
"A cigarette after a meal is better than being a god!"
While the chicken soup was still hot, he took out his cigarette case and chatted with the boss for a while.
Surprisingly, the boss was from the same hometown as him, both from Yanshi. Of course, they were from the same hometown in his previous life, which suddenly made him feel a sense of kinship.
Perhaps I should take some time to visit there and see if there's anything different.
"Your meal is ready. Drink slowly, be careful it's hot!"
"Okay, thanks."
......
When he returned to the ward, Shirley had already woken up, and the conversation abruptly stopped.
He opened the lunchbox and placed it on the table, while handing the chicken soup to Park Jiyeon to feed Sulli.
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome. You guys eat first, I'll go out for a walk."
Park Jiyeon blew on the chicken soup and carefully fed it to Sulli, "Here, be careful, it's hot!"
Shirley opened her mouth and drank it, unable to hold back her tears.
Lee Ji-eun reached out and patted her back. "Don't cry. Ji-yeon and I are here. Once you're discharged from the hospital, break up with him and come stay at my place. He won't dare to come."
Lin Yuan, who was smoking in the hallway, heard footsteps. Then Li Zhi'en came over and sat down. "You must be bored, making me run around with you."
She knew Lin Yuan's personality well; this man was always too lazy to meddle in other people's business, and was even a bit annoying.
"It's alright. What did Shirley say?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"We'll talk about everything after she's discharged from the hospital. I also advised her to break up with him, but she neither agreed nor refused." Lee Ji-eun looked at him and said, "What do you think is the best course of action?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, "Even an upright official can't settle family disputes. My advice is to ignore it. Just be prepared to accept her at any time."
Lee Ji-eun nodded thoughtfully. "Let's talk about it later. Let's go home now."
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. "What about Shirley?"
"Jiyeon is inside with her. I called Victoria, she'll be there in a bit." She paused, "Right now, my boyfriend is definitely more important~"
!!!
Perfect! This is a perfect girlfriend!!!
Lee Ji-eun's birthday is coming up soon, what should I give her?
Upon receiving the call, Victoria Song rushed over, accompanied by Krystal Jung.
"Sherry, how are you?"
Victoria Song asked anxiously, her nose red, indicating she must have cried on the way here.
"Unnie, I'm fine now. It's so late, and you and Crystal have come to see me." Shirley said with a forced smile.
Krystal Jung held her hand, her face full of worry.
"Sherry, listen to your unnie, break up with that scumbag, okay? Your unnie is really worried about you."
Looking at the pale-faced maknae in front of her, Victoria Song felt endless worry.
The group's position in the company was already awkward; they didn't get any resources at all. People from her hometown had also contacted her privately, implying that she should return to China to develop her career, and they offered very high terms.
She's just waiting for her contract to expire so she can go back to her home country. She doesn't have to worry about the other members of the group. Crystal comes from a well-off family and can work in the fashion industry with her sister Jessica.
Shirley is the only exception. Her parents are vampires and her boyfriend is a scumbag, so she developed depression at a young age and even committed suicide today. How can she let go of this?
Shirley pursed her lips tightly, her eyes darting away.
She was too ashamed to face her unnie. As the first "green card" captain, unnie was under a lot of pressure. She had to arrange everything, big and small. She treated her like a daughter and was extremely worried about her.
"Mianne~"
All the words I wanted to say eventually boiled down to one apology.
"Sulli, be good, unnie will stay here with you." Victoria wiped away her tears, turned to Park Jiyeon, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Jiyeon. You should go back and rest early too. Krystal and I will take care of Sulli here!"
Park Jiyeon thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go back first and bring breakfast for everyone tomorrow morning."
