In fact, describing himself as a beggar wasn’t even low enough when being compared to Taehyung...
No, he couldn’t accept it…
How could Jennie marry Taehyung?
The Jennie that he didn’t want, how could she marry the most mysterious and powerful man in the entertainment industry?
This couldn’t be true, he must be dreaming.
After soothing Jennie, Taehyung finally lifted his head to look at Baekhyun. His cold piercing eyes were like that of an eagle looking at its prey. His sexy plump lips moved slightly, "It seems Mr. Byun isn’t used to the food here…"
His deep and mellow voice was enough to make anyone’s heart shudder...
Baekhyun felt a shiver down his spine as he swallowed nervously. After hearing Taehyung’s icy cold words, he fell out of his chair and landed on the floor; his embarrassing reaction made it hard for the waitstaff to hold back their laughter.
"You..you guys enjoy your meal, I’m going to leave first…" Baekhyun wanted to get up off the floor, but...
"You want to go?" Taehyung lifted his gaze nonchalantly as he continued, "Where do you want to go?"
Hearing Taehyung’s voice, the waitstaff near the exit immediately blocked the doorway. It was obvious, from the moment Baekhyun stepped foot in the restaurant, he wasn't going to leave that easily.
"Didn’t Mr. Byun want to see me? We haven’t even spoken much and you already want to leave?" Taehyung gently cut the steak in front of him as he took one glance at Baekhyun. After cutting the steak, he thoughtfully placed it in front of Jennie.
Baekhyun remained seated on the floor as he trembled; there was no way he could reject Taehyung.
"I…I can step out to clear Jennie’s name…to make it clear that she didn’t climb into anyone’s bed," Baekhyun thought this was what Taehyung wanted and was the reason he had decided to see him.
However, Taehyung smiled slightly, "Did you think Jennie needs your help?" Taehyung stopped cutting and looked at Baekhyun, "She hasn’t needed you for a long time…"
"With me around, you are nothing."
Baekhyun was frightened; he suddenly realized he had no idea what Taehyung’s purpose was for seeing him. If it wasn’t because he wanted him to clear Jennie’s name, then what could it be?
Did he simply want to…humiliate him?
Or perhaps, did Taehyung want to see him being completely defeated and helpless?
"President Kim…in that case…what do you plan to do with me?" Baekhyun was too nervous; Taehyung simply wanted to question him, but Baekhyun somehow felt a sense of danger from his words. He felt his pride had been completely trampled on by Taehyung.
"Regarding that, you will need to ask my wife…" Taehyung turned his head and handed the reigns to Jennie. His tone of voice was caring and gentle - completely different to when he spoke to Baekhyun.
Baekhyun suddenly understood Taehyung’s intention: he was seeking revenge for Jennie!
Baekhyun lifted his head and looked at Jennie, the woman that appeared to be unaffected by the world had secretly married the Big Boss of the entertainment industry. His heart was cold as he sneered; he felt all men were the same: A man with an identity and status like Taehyung, could have anyone he wants by his side, how long do you think he would want you?
Jennie could see through the mockery in Baekhyun’s eyes, but she didn’t care.
"Jennie, you’ve already turned me into a joke, what else do you want? Just tell me directly. I never expected you were so scheming…"
"Do you want to know what day Taehyung and I got married?"
"August 19th," Jennie cut off Baekhyun’s words in a cold tone.
After hearing Jennie’s words, Baekhyun looked into her eyes surprisingly.
August 19th, that was the day he was supposed to marry Jennie and also the day he abandoned her to be with Seulgi. Above all…that was the day he forced Jennie to be Seulgi’s substitute at the Crown’s Star Show.
"Then why…why didn’t you use…"
"Use Taehyung’s hands to seek revenge on you?" Jennie continued his question for him; her tone of voice contained a sense of ridicule, "Because I don't want to dirty Taehyung's hands."
After hearing Jennie's words, a cold chill swept through Baekhyun's body.
All Jennie had to do, was announce her relationship with Taehyung and no one would dare look down at her again, yet she chose to endure all the misunderstanding and suffering he had put her through to get to where she was today.
She could rely on Taehyung...
But she didn't, why?
"So, you really didn't rely on any dirty methods to get where you are today?"
"Not everyone is like you and Kang Seulgi. Baekhyun, 3 years ago I was the top model in Beijing; now, 3 years later, I can do it again. I will prove myself to everyone. Of course, that includes you..."
Baekhyun listened to Jennie's words and suddenly let out a loud laugh; his laugh was so fake even he felt it was a bit forced, "Don't tell me the people that know Taehyung is your husband hasn't treated you differently."
"Only you know..." Jennie stressed as she looked at Baekhyun. "As of now, you are the only one that knows of our relationship."
Baekhyun looked at Jennie in shock. In the end, he looked down with a defeated expression, "I can't believe there is someone like you in this world: you have such a great resource, yet you don't use it. I can't believe there is really someone like you...haha..."
"In this world, not every relationship is based on using one another; just like the way I once treated you, and from now on, the way I will be treating Taehyung. I can depend on my own abilities to achieve my goals and get back to the high point I was once at. Maybe to you, he is considered a resource, but to me, my relationship with Taehyung is not about using one another - this is something you will never understand..."
At this moment, Baekhyun felt like his heart was wounded; he too once owned Jennie's sincere heart, however, he treated her thoughtfulness as a benefit; a requirement; a tool for exchange...
So it turned out, without him, Jennie's life was better and more amazing. She could even...
...marry whoever she wanted.
The CEO of Hai Rui. Even if he worked hard for 10 lifetimes, he wouldn't be able to get to Taehyung's level.
How could he be so dumb and stupid to be blinded by Kang Seulgi?
If he never betrayed Jennie, would everything be different right now?
"I once thought of a thousand ways to torture you, but...who would have thought, Seulgi used the worst method. Baekhyun, you've finally lost everything."
"I do not wish for anything else, nor do I have the intention to step on you while you're down; I still need to continue on with my life and in the scheme of things, you are nothing. So, Byun Baekhyun, get lost..." Jennie raised her head; her eyes were colder than before, "From now on, do not appear anywhere in Beijing and definitely do not appear in front of me!"
