Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 9

Chapter 1751: Tempted

"Are you her foster father, Mr. Tang Shan?"

"Foster father? I'm her biological father!"

"Sir, as far as I know, Jennie has broken off contact with her biological parents."

Chairman stormed away and spoke quietly, "You're her manager. How can you listen to that nonsense? Get Jennie on the phone right now!"

"I'm sorry, Sir, everyone around her knows that Jennie won't take private calls when she's working."

...

Chairman was enraged when the line went dead.

Krystal saw a light of hope when she noticed the darkened expression on Chairman. "Father, what's wrong?"

"Nothing..." Chairman would never reveal how a little manager had just talked back to him over the phone. He changed the topic quickly. "Jennie's not free to pick up my call right now."

Krystal acted like she understood. "Sister's really popular now. It's not odd that she's busy. It'd probably be difficult for her to join us..."

Chaerin let out a cold laugh. "She's acting all high and mighty after starring in just a few movies. She was still a nobody when Krystal was famous! Now, she's forced you out of the industry and taken over all your resources. How dare she do this to us?"

Zhiyuan stared at them unhappily. "It's fine. Just let it be if Jennie's busy. Why the fuss?

"If you lot told everyone about Krystal's matter from the very beginning instead of lying, Krystal wouldn't have ended up this way! Things would've turned out vastly different if you guys had nurtured the relationship with the Tang family properly. What a shame to the Kim family!

"You lot brought these consequences upon yourself. Don't blame everything on Jennie!"

Chairman comforted him, "Please don't be angry, Father. We won't mention the past again. As for the family gathering tomorrow... I think she won't be coming because of some tiny misunderstanding, but I also think that she might come along together with Qiutong and Wenbo."

Chaerin was already upset that the elder was on Jennie's side, and she got even angrier when Chairman was speaking for Jennie as well.

She knew what was happening. Chairman was not concerned about the elder's health at all. He was thinking that he might be able to get something good out of Jennie since she was affiliated with the Zhuang family now and his greed tempted him.

The Zhuang family was terribly selfish. They were willing to abandon their own child out of reputation. How could they pick up that girl?

Even if the Zhuang family really took her in, that girl would have told the whole world about it already instead of keeping quiet all this time.

...

The next night.

In the banquet room, Chairman, Yao, and Qiutong were present. Besid Qiutong was her husband Wenbo, who had just come back from abroad. Krystal and Kai were there as well.

When they were about to start, Krystal asked with a concerned tone, acting natural, "Are we not waiting for Jennie?"

Kai was taken aback when he heard Krystal's question. He unconsciously looked over at the door. Except on TV and newspaper, he had not seen her since the Golden Film Award.

Qiutong replied, "Jennie's busy today. She won't be coming."
