Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 178: Who Are You Married to?

After asking this question, even the host was surprised. Jooeun's answer could become a huge exposé. It seemed, they were forcing her into taking extreme measures. But in the end, it all depended on the guest's wisdom and EQ.

Inside the studio sat over 100 fans waiting for Jooeun's answer. In front of their TV at home, the audience also waited. Even Jeonghwan who was listening to the live broadcast in his car couldn't help but smile. He had previously asked Jooeun how she would answer if she was faced with this question. At the time, she simply smiled secretively. But now, she could no longer avoid it.

Jeonghwan felt a sense of anticipation. He was sweating nervously on behalf of Jooeun, but he had faith in her.

"Why do other guests get such gentle questions, yet when it comes to me, I get asked about my ex and then about whether I'm married?" Jooeun looked a little helpless. But everyone knew, she wasn't actually bothered by the questions. She was simply livening up the atmosphere.

"Don't try to hide or drag out your answer. Quick tell us." the host wasn't going to let her off the hook. Actually, from the moment Jooeun appeared on the program, the two hosts were relieved. They knew that Jooeun was an extremely mature interviewee. She knew her place, she knew how to liven the atmosphere and she knew how to interact with both the audience and the hosts. Most importantly, she was extremely friendly. She was like the girl-next-door.

"Yes, I'm married!" Jooeun swiftly answered.

Everyone's eyes opened in shock. No one expected her to admit to it so directly. Jeonghwan's heart skipped a beat as he listened. But he quickly smiled helplessly and dotingly. He had to bow down to his cheeky wife's answer. He knew, under normal circumstances, only artists with something to hide would think of a way to dodge the question rather than admit directly like Jooeun. So on programs like this, the majority of those that made admissions turned out to be fake.

Plus, the tone with which Jooeun answered, was so casual. It was practically like someone asked her if she ate dinner and she simply said yes. She answered so normally that everyone felt it couldn't possibly be the truth. Even though in actual fact, what she said was indeed true.

"Really?" the host pretended to be surprised as she giggled and continued to ask. "In that case, who are you married to?"

"The most powerful man in the entertainment industry." Jooeun once again told the truth, but the hosts giggled and brushed her off.

"Then doesn't that mean you are married to me?" the male host teased.

The studio erupted in laughter. It turned out his dear wife not only knew how to be a model, she even knew how to create a situation where it was hard to differentiate between truth and lies. At times, when one is too exaggerated, even if they are telling the truth, no one would believe it.

A moment later, one of the hosts noticed the ring on Jooeun's finger. "Oh, you even have a ring. It's almost like you're telling the truth. Lift up your hand and let us admire it."

Jooeun was unfazed. She lifted her right hand to show everyone her ring. In reality, this was truthfully a wedding ring. Sitting in the car, Jeonghwan couldn't help but stroke the ring on his left hand. The couple's hearts were connected.

Watching from the sidelines, Kangjun's heart was trembling in fear as he broke out in a cold sweat. How could she be so brave?

Most shocking of all, she was telling the truth. Yet everyone thought she was joking.

"Just now, we asked a relatively relaxed question and our Jooeun answered calmly. But now, we are going to ask a question that may offend others. You better think carefully before you answer." the hosts suddenly retrieved their smiles and became a lot more serious. Although Radio Star's questions were intense, the hosts respected their guests and kindly warned them.

"Actually, we've heard some negative rumors about you. For example, after signing your contract with your current agency, we've heard that they haven't been treating you well. In fact, they've even given jobs that you've already secured to others. So what is the truth? Could you please clarify it for us?"

With the mention of Jooeun's agency, Yeji and Bohyun were the most nervous. With Jooeun's EQ, dealing with questions like this was child's play. However, Yeji noticed Jooeun's gentle gaze through the TV screen now had a layer of coldness. In fact, she was even sneering because she knew, the time for her to retrieve Minjung's grandfather had come. Of course, let's not mention Yeji, even Kangjun had no idea how Jooeun was going to ask for his return. To be honest, he didn't even believe she could do it!

How was it possible? How could she make Yeji obediently return Minjung's grandfather from her seat in the studio?

"Well, the fact that I am sitting here, doesn't that already answer your question?" Jooeun smiled. "President Seo is an extremely 'understanding' person and is a great boss. We aren't against each other like the rumors say we are. Healthy competition is normal within an agency and as the CEO, I can understand that she needs to look at the bigger picture. Actually, I want to share something extremely heartwarming." Jooeun suddenly turned to the camera and gave an example. "Over the past couple of days, my unnie, Jang Minjung suddenly couldn't contact her grandfather. She was so anxious she searched everywhere for him and even contacted the police!" Jooeun emphasized the word 'police'.

"The police already filed a report and were ready to start an investigation, when suddenly we found out from President Seo that she wanted to give Minjung unnie a surprise and had brought her grandfather to Seoul. We almost had a huge misunderstanding. As you all can see, President Seo is extremely thoughtful and warm-hearted. But in order not to cause any more inconvenience for President Seo, I will get my assistant to go pick up her grandfather after the interview. We are extremely thankful for President Seo's 'surprise' and will forever remember your kindness." Jooeun spoke in a serious manner and expressed her gratitude towards Yeji.

However, her words contained a hidden meaning which only they understood. As soon as Jooeun started responding, Yeji was tempted to smash her TV on the ground. Jooeun was threatening her with the police, just like the way she had threatened Minjung to betray Jooeun.

Jooeun was giving her an eye for an eye!

Afterward, the fact that Jooeun had said Minjung's grandfather was with Yeji, meant that everyone would be watching over her. If anything was to happen to Minjung's grandfather, then Yeji would be held responsible. So she no longer dared to do anything to the old man. Lastly, Jooeun said Minjung would be picking up her grandfather. If Yeji didn't hand him over then the public would be suspicious of her. Jooeun's response triggered a reaction in the entertainment industry. The sensitive reporters would definitely be all over this story.

Damn this A-grade model. Damn this smart Cha Jooeun!

Yeji never expected Jooeun would actually do something she had no way of retaliating against. Her only choice was to hand over Minjung's grandfather. Of course, apart from those who despised Jooeun, there were also those impressed by her. Kangjun couldn't believe that Jooeun was smart enough to solve the issue with Minjung's grandfather in this way. She didn't need to search for him, she made Yeji hand him over obediently without a single hair out of place.

Yeji was forced to suffer a double loss! If anything was to go wrong with Minjung's grandfather, then there was something wrong with Yeji!
