Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 1)

24

Krystal had just stepped up a level from being a mistress and was still basking in the glory of things going her way, so Jennie thought she'd let her be happy for a few more days. After all, Jennie had yet to play the best card in her hand. However, Jennie didn't only want to make it impossible for Krystal to be a model anymore, she also wanted Krystal to be too embarrassed to be alive.

Because her jobs were being frozen, after filming the commercial for hf, she once again had nothing to do. But, she wasn't impatient or angry. Even though fans were scolding her for endorsing an unreliable product, she didn't respond with a single word – sucking up the insults.

Tzuyu had studied Jennie and studied the way she handled things previously. She realized she was a lot more tolerant than most people and could endure loneliness well.

The entertainment headlines were still focused on Kai and Krystal's video. The public put Krystal through all kinds of pain and abuse. Whereas, Jennie's reactions from the public consisted of 2 extremes. Some were extremely sympathetic as they assumed Jennie was being forced, leading to her having no choice in which company she was to endorse. Whereas younger fans questioned why, under these circumstances, she hadn't left Kim Entertainment.

It was amongst this complex debate...

...that an album of photos from Jennie's recent shoot was leaked by a passerby. In an instant, the hottest person online had changed as everyone praised how stunning Jennie's beauty and long legs were.

On top of everything, there were multiple magazines that pointed out, how even when posing randomly, every move that she made was more natural than any pose pulled by a professional model.

So, while the three were enveloped in scandals, Krystal and Kai's responses were all negative, whereas, Jennie, on the basis of one album of photos...made everyone forget she had been a substitute for Krystal and that she had apologized after admitting to creating hype. The only image in their minds of Jennie, were her gracefulness as she looked back at the camera with tears in her eyes.

While all this was going on, within the same day, Tzuyu received invites from no less than 5 magazines, requesting Jennie to appear on the front cover of their next season's issue.

Compared to pitiful Krystal who was getting one contract canceled after another, Tzuyu was suddenly impressed by Jennie. It was like she had some kind of magical ability that would always turn things around.

Because Jennie's path to a comeback, could no longer be blocked by Kai, when faced with all the invites from the magazines, he started to question himself – should he really be freezing Jennie?

Tzuyu reported to Kai with the invites from the magazines and analyzed which path Jennie should take. But, she was stopped by Krystal who was sitting in Kai's office chair, "Didn't we already agree that we would not be accepting any jobs for her? Are you ignoring my words?"

Her relationship with Kai is still young, yet here she is, already acting like she is the president's wife...

Tzuyu sneered on the inside.

"Let's choose E-Style," Kai selected one of the most influential magazines as he spoke directly to Tzuyu.

"Kai, what did you promise me?"

"Babe, everything I do is for you. Think about it...the incident with the video has received enough criticism. All we need is for Jennie  to make an appearance and clarify that we broke up a long time ago. Then the relationship between you and I would not be adulterous at all – just a normal couple. The netizens will realize they've been wrong and will feel guilty towards you – everything you do from then on would be more acceptable. I am laying a path for you," Kai explained to Krystal in a serious tone, "There's not much time left until the Top Ten Model Awards. This is the fastest way to wipe your slate clean. By the time you make a comeback, do you think Jennie would still have a place to stand?"

After hearing this, Krystal's anger immediately dissipated, "Only you could think of something that covers all bases like this."

Kai had no idea Tzuyu was already on Jennie's side - the scheming between the two, quickly reached Jennie's ears.

"Those two want to use you to wipe their slates clean, what are you planning to do?" Tzuyu was curious how Jennie was going to stop herself from being used by Kai.

"Help me reject the job. If Jongin asks, just say I'm not feeling well," Jennie replied.

Picking one out of five magazines and then having to immediately reject four, was already not quite right.

But, Tzuyu understood what had to be done. So far she had been impressed by Jennie's ability to skillfully deflect whatever was thrown at her. Effortlessly, she had passed the hot potato back. When Krystal heard of this, she nearly went crazy. She slammed her hands on the table as she spoke to Tzuyu, "She obviously did it on purpose!

"Then, Miss Jung, how accommodating did you think a model that's had her fiancée stolen and is getting all her jobs frozen, should be?"

After hearing everything, Kai patted Krystal on the back to comfort her. He turned to Tzuyu and ordered, "Tell Jennie to come see me."

"I'm afraid she can't, she isn't feeling well," Tzuyu replied.

"Then tell me where she is, I will go look for her!"

"Let me first ask Jennie for her opinion." After speaking, Tzuyu turned around and phoned Jennie. However, at this time, Lisa had just returned home and was hugging Jennie in the garden as they watered the plants. Tzuyu clearly expressed her thoughts, and because Lisa's ears were against Jennie's he overheard their conversation.

At that moment, his ink-like eyes suddenly twinkled under the sun as he gave an amused smile. Leaning in close to Jennie's left ear, he suggested, "Give our Hyatt Regency address to your manager..."

Jennie looked at him with uncertainty.

"Firstly, tell him that you've moved houses and because you are the daughter of the Kim family, living in Hyatt Regency is more suited to your status. You are no longer at a level where he can reach."

"Secondly, the security in Hyatt Regency is tight, did you think 'anyone' can come in? huh?"

Jennie gently laughed as she realized Lisa's attitude towards outsiders was definitely different to the kindness he showed at home.

But, haha, she liked it! So, she followed Lisa's suggestion and gave their address to Tzuyu. Upon hearing the address, Tzuyu was shocked for a moment before she passed it on to Kai.

"Jennie said she already moved houses. If you want to see her then you can go to Hyatt Regency, she's moved there..."

Hyatt Regency!

But, that is Beijing's most famous and well-known estate...

That's not a place that a small celebrity could live in.

Krystal was envious, "She? Moved to Hyatt Regency? How is that possible?"

"Miss Jung, have you forgotten she is an heir to the Kim empire? Her living in Hyatt Regency is merely a choice to live in an environment that is suited to her status."

In other words, when Kai and Jennie were still together, she had been forced to suffer by downgrading herself. Since Kai didn't know how to cherish her, she of course, returned to where she belonged without any cares.

This was a level that Krystal would never be able to reach because it was already determined at birth.

Inside, Kai wasn't feeling good. Thinking back on when he and Jennie were still together, she was never willing to give anything. However, as soon as they broke up, she actually moved into Hyatt Regency!
