Chapter 29 Jealous of Oneself
At the crossroads, the light is red.
"So your family is in the food service industry? Is this the only store, or do you have other branches?"
Jessica Jung lightly pressed the brake with her right foot, turned her head to look at Chen Ran and asked.
"We have branches. In addition to this one in Gangnam, we also have branches in Dongdaemun and Myeongdong, as well as in Busan and Gyeonggi Province. There are a total of nine branches across the entire peninsula."
"oh."
Jessica Jung nodded. The scale wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either.
"Do you think I could make money if I went into the food service industry?" she suddenly asked.
Chen Ran was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "You're not planning to start your own fashion brand anymore?"
"I'm still considering it, because it's quite difficult."
Jessica Jung subconsciously replied, but quickly realized what she meant and looked at Chen Ran, asking in confusion:
How did you know I wanted to create my own fashion brand?
She doesn't seem to have mentioned this to Chen Ran.
Could it be that Taeyeon and the others said it?
That's impossible; they're not that close to Chen Ran yet.
Chen Ran was startled and momentarily forgot about it.
However, he quickly came up with a reason.
"I found out through my connections beforehand, otherwise why would I have told you directly at the party that night that Quan Ningyi was a liar?"
"It's because we know you're planning to start a fashion brand, and Kwon Ning-il is a fraud who lies about having resources in the fashion industry."
Jessica Jung nodded thoughtfully.
That night, Chen Ran did indeed act as if he knew everything.
"The light is green, you can go now."
Chen Ran spoke at the right moment, interrupting her thoughts.
"oh."
Jessica Jung lightly pressed the accelerator, and after passing through the intersection, she couldn't help but turn around and ask:
"Your connections are impressive. Are you in the industry? Could you introduce me?"
The person who was able to find out about her and Quan Ningyi, and who was also able to get Chen Ran into that private party, is no ordinary person.
Chen Ran blinked: "She's not here right now. I'll introduce her to you next time there's a chance."
She's not here; she's 25 years ago over there.
You might not believe it, but my network is actually you.
Unaware of the truth, Jessica Jung couldn't help but show delight when Chen Ran offered to introduce her to such connections.
She had only mentioned it casually, and was prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect Chen Ran to agree.
"Okay, thank you."
You're welcome, you're welcome.
Chen Ran felt a strange urge to laugh.
He introduced Jessica to Jessica Jung, and Jessica Jung should thank him.
I wonder how Jessica Jung will react when she sees her.
Tsk, I hope they won't end up fighting.
After letting his imagination run wild for a moment, Chen Ran quickly regained his composure and continued the conversation:
"So you're thinking of switching to the food service industry?"
"Hmm... I've had that idea, because many celebrities in the industry are in the food and beverage business, and I think it seems like a good idea, but I'm still considering it."
But compared to the catering industry, she definitely prefers to create a fashion brand.
Fashion is something she's interested in, and if she succeeds, her status will be greatly elevated.
Chen Ran also noticed this, but didn't say anything, only nodded.
Some things are better left unsaid; letting her tell you herself is the best way to win.
Looking at Jessica Jung's profile, he couldn't help but think of Jessica at home, and suddenly asked:
"Is there anything you regret?"
"Hmm? Regretful?"
Jessica Jung was stunned.
Another red light at the intersection, and the car slowly came to a stop in front of the solid line.
Although she didn't know why Chen Ran suddenly asked this question, she thought about it seriously and then shook her head.
"I don't think I have any regrets."
She has had a good life from childhood to adulthood.
Although he trained for seven years, he finally debuted successfully.
Although the group faced a large-scale boycott on the eve of their debut, they eventually overcame it and became a national girl group on the Korean Peninsula.
So far, it seems she really has no regrets.
"Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Chen Ran smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just curious if top celebrities like you have any regrets."
"oh."
The red light turned green, Jessica Jung lightly pressed the accelerator with her right foot, and Chen Ran turned to look out the car window.
Jessica Jung has no regrets, but she has many regrets.
Leaving the group, forcing her sister to leave the stage, losing close friends...
No one can know which people or things will become their regrets until they become the past.
A dozen minutes later, the BMW slowly stopped in front of Chen Ran's villa.
Jessica Jung glanced around; no lights were on in the villa.
"Do you live here alone?"
Chen Ran, who had just unbuckled his seatbelt, blinked: "Yeah, I usually live alone."
But this is a special case.
"oh."
"Then I'll be going now. Take care on your way back."
"it is good."
Chen Ran walked to his front door, turned around and glanced back; Jessica Jung had already left.
He entered the password and gripped the doorknob with his right hand.
The door opened, and that familiar baby voice, which I had just heard, came from inside.
"You're back."
"Um."
Chen Ran changed into slippers and went inside. Jessica was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, her hair casually tied up, and holding a bag of snacks in her hand.
They looked so content.
"Did Jessica bring you back again?" Jessica glanced at him.
"Yes." Chen Ran walked over and sat down next to her.
Just as Jessica was about to speak, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Then, he reached out his hand to Chen Ran's shoulder.
The next second, a thin, long hair was slowly lifted up.
Chen Ran, who had been somewhat puzzled, froze.
Jessica squinted at the long hair that she had just lifted, then looked at Chen Ran.
"This should be Jessica Jung's hair," Chen Ran explained subconsciously.
"I know."
Jessica still squinted: "So you two had physical contact today? She lost her balance and fell into your arms?"
"No, it must have gotten on my tongue accidentally during dinner tonight."
"Oh, it seems you guys sat quite close together while eating."
Jessica smiled, her eyes narrowing, "Not bad, you've gotten quite close."
Chen Ran opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to say, "Wasn't it you who asked me to get closer to Jessica Jung?"
But his intuition was frantically raising alarms, reminding him not to say that.
So he finally decided to leave: "I'm going to take a shower first, and I can change out of my clothes and wash them."
"snort"
Watching Chen Ran hurry upstairs, Jessica snorted and threw the strand of hair in her hand into the trash can.
Even if it's Jessica Jung's hair, it's still not acceptable.
---
Nearly twenty minutes later, Chen Ran, having finished his shower, walked out of the bathroom and returned to his bedroom.
Three minutes later, Chen Ran came out of his bedroom again, carrying a blanket.
Because his blanket got wet from the rain again.
I got soaked by the rain on a sunny day.
Tsk, how can they be jealous of their own partner?
When Chen Ran reached the door of the makeshift bedroom, he opened it without knocking and went inside.
In the bedroom, Jessica was leaning against the headboard, scrolling through her phone.
Her fair and delicate legs were crossed, and her toes, painted with flesh-pink nail polish, were slightly upturned, glistening under the light.
The woman was wearing a low-cut purple lace nightgown, and her thighs, which were crossed on top, were slightly bent at the knees, causing a deep purple hue to be visible at the top of her thighs.
Chen Ran suddenly felt a bit hot and bothered.
Purple, low-cut top, long white legs, the buffs are stacked up!
Big sister is really something else, could she be doing this on purpose?
Hearing the noise, Jessica turned to look at Chen Ran, who was hugging a blanket, blinked, and looked puzzled.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Chen Ran tried his best to suppress his rising anger: "My bed is wet again, so I'll stay here for the night."
"Oh? But I want to sleep alone tonight. Why don't you just make do on the sofa for the night?"
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow: "Oh, then I'll sleep in Krystal's room."
After saying that, he immediately turned around.
"Hey, you can't go."
Jessica sat up abruptly: "Soojung, she..."
"I know she doesn't like other people sleeping in her bed."
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Ran interrupted her: "But I have no choice. I'll send her a message and I believe she'll agree."
"ah!"
Jessica got out of bed and ran over barefoot, snatching the blanket from Chen Ran's arms.
"You're not allowed to go anywhere, you're sleeping here!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Ran's eyes.
Big sister, you've got to handle this.
