Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 181: Do you want to come with me to London?

Upon seeing Taejoo, Grandfather Jang was immediately reminded of Bohyun's words. He did not look pleased as he questioned Taejoo rudely. "Young man, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be waiting outside my granddaughter's home in the middle of the night?"

Taejoo didn't understand why Grandfather Jang was hostile towards him, so he immediately explained. "I was told that Minjung went to pick you up, so I wanted to see if you needed help with anything."

"No need. Please leave."

Minjung smiled at Taejoo awkwardly. She too did not understand what was wrong with her grandfather. Of course, Taejoo couldn't continue to stick around. He politely said, "Good night." before disappearing from their sight.

"Minjung-ah, tell me honestly. Are you entangled in a relationship with this man?"

"Grandfather, what are you talking about?"

"Mr. Ahn told me you are somebody's mistress!" Grandfather Jang scolded as he pointed to Minjung's nose. "Don't ever see that man again."

Minjung was in shock. At the same time, she felt a little angry. She had never imagined, Bohyun would be despicable to this extent.

"And your boss, Cha Jooeun. President Seo is such a lovely woman, why are you guys bullying her and going against her?"

"Grandfather! Did you know Seo Yeji was holding you hostage? She wanted to use you to threaten Jooeun. Jooeun was the one that got you out of there." Minjung anxiously tried to explain.

"Hostage? I think there must be something wrong with your brain. President Seo gave me good food and drinks. She took good care of me and even took me out to fun places. It's nothing like you think."

"..."

She suddenly found it hard to explain the scheming tactics of the entertainment industry. She felt a bit helpless. This old man had been too easy to manipulate. He was using the fake words of others to hurt his own people.

After putting her grandfather to sleep, Minjung gave Taejoo a phone call and apologized. "I'm so sorry that my grandfather was being impolite today. After being locked away for a few days and fed lies by Yeji and Bohyun, he is being critical towards me as well."

"As long as he is okay." Taejoo replied casually like he was unfazed. "I am currently playing a game. You should go to sleep early."

"OK, good night."

The way Taejoo spoke to her made Minjung feel a bit uneasy. But why should this bother her? It's not like he would ever like her.

In reality, after hanging up the phone, Taejoo was also feeling a bit uneasy. He couldn't say that he wasn't affected by Grandfather Jang's hostility. He was only being nice, yet who would have thought a misunderstanding like this would ensue. His heart felt a little strange. It felt different from when he was upset in the past...

It was a cold winter's night. After taking a shower, Jooeun threw herself into Jeonghwan's warm embrace. As she leaned back and used his arm as a pillow, she started speaking. "Yeji isn't normally like this. Why would she give me an international show? I thought she was dying to tear me apart. However, YSL's show is indeed very tempting to me."

Jeonghwan hugged Jooeun and wrapped his strong legs around her gentle body, trapping her completely in his embrace.

"If she wants to give it to you, then take it."

He knew, no matter what Yeji did, it would be merely pushing Jooeun towards GK. Of course, Jooeun was also well aware of this.

"In that case, do you want to come with me to London?"

"When is it?" Jeonghwan asked.

Jooeun thought for a bit before replying. "We should be departing next Wednesday."

"We are nearing the end of the year, so there are more and more awards ceremonies and events."

"It's OK if you can't make it." Jooeun replied softly. "To be honest, every time we've gone overseas, you've had to make preparations well in advance. It's been making my heartache. I will be in London for one week. During this time, stay in Seoul and don't work too hard."

Jeonghwan did not respond, but it didn't mean he didn't have his own thoughts. But if he didn't go, what were the reporters Yeji organized, going to take photos of? Would they return with nothing?

The next morning.

The biggest daily newspaper published an article explaining everything that happened at DDP. With GK's supervision, the media placed all the focus on Ahn Hani bullying Cha Jooeun's assistant. They focused on how she schemed against them, slapped Jang Minjung, humiliated her, and pressured her to kneel before her. The entire incident was depicted vividly. They explained that it was because of all this that Jooeun decided to retaliate.

The most startling revelation came from GK. They exposed that Cha Jooeun's assistant, Jang Minjung is the fiancée to Lee Jeonghwan's assistant, Park Taejoo. So naturally, Taejoo came to the rescue for a reason.

The article stated that Cha Jooeun and the CEO of GK, Lee Jeonghwan had no special relation to each other, they were merely friends and didn't need to provide any further explanation. After GK stepped out to protect their staff and reveal the truth, readers could quickly differentiate between right and wrong.

As for the brand that was affected by Ahn Hani the night before, they decided to step out and announce they weren't happy with her. And because of her character, they would forever blacklist her. Of course, although most of the netizens expressed their understanding towards Jooeun's actions, a hidden danger was also created for her.

"I never imagined the usually calm Cha Jooeun would have this side to her. 5 slaps in succession, how satisfying!"

"Cha Jooeun must have reached the limit of her tolerance for her to retaliate like this. I think she is so cool."

"I've followed many celebrities and seen many that treat their assistants as a normal person. But I've never seen anyone protect their assistant to this extent. I don't have much to say, just one simple word: Cool!"

"But in the end, Cha Jooeun also hit someone. Doesn't this mean she is no different to Ahn Hani?"

"The prude above, that's because your relatives weren't the ones being bullied. If that was the case, wouldn't you explode in anger too?"

"I just don't understand how Cha Jooeun's assistant ended up like a slave in Ahn Hani's hands. Without a higher-up's permission, this couldn't have possibly happened."

"Are you guys still discussing this matter? Today is Monday, Damiani's finalized commercial is already online. Let's hurry over and enjoy it."

At the same time, the viewership of Jooeun's interview on Radio Star was revealed. Her popularity was comparable to some of the most famous actors and actresses. After Damiani's commercial was released, the number of views skyrocketed. Within one day, it had reached over ten million views.

Regardless of everything else, it seemed Jooeun had a stable standing in Seoul for the time being. At least, with her popularity and the number of discussions about her, in the short term, there was no need to worry that she would disappear from the limelight.

This was originally something Sublime should celebrate. Even though Ahn Hani was destroyed under the hands of one of their own people, Jooeun's momentum was going strong. According to the current trend, it was only a matter of time, before she surpassed Ahn Hani. In just 3 months, Cha Jooeun had taken down everything in her way and came out on top. This shocked many in the entertainment industry and also made many of them envious!
