The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 362 Start Of A Life - Long Connection

"What?!!"

Everyone couldn't believe what they just heard. The legendary business genius Kwon Jian came to the party? This was totally unprecedented!

"Are you telling the truth?" Meng asked the youth who brought the news.

"Yes, Grandaunt Meng. Sir Jian is currently mingling with the guests. He asked where the celebrant is. He said that he wants to greet Uncle Jihoon a happy birthday."

"What are we waiting for then? Let's go and greet Sir Kwon! We shouldn't keep such an esteemed guest waiting for too long," Jufang said and looked at Jihoon impatiently.

As for the Wu family, they didn't wait for Jihoon's permission. Eunchae and her parents left the library and headed directly to look for the business legend. They treated this as a once in a lifetime opportunity. They didn't care whether Sir Kwon came for Jihoon who they just cut ties with. Establishing a connection with someone as powerful in the business world as Sir Kwon was more important than leaving the party because of their anger at the hosts.

"Alright, let's go," Jihoon finally said.

Upon receiving his permission, the elders and the relatives moved like they had rocket boosters in their shoes with how fast they left the library. They were all extremely excited and couldn't wait to meet such a powerful figure. Jay also followed behind them, not waiting for the rest of the "main family" to leave together.

Chaeng and Jisoo also couldn't wait to meet Sir Jian in person. Both of them were business majors. Their professors and even their textbooks used him a lot as the best example of a successful businessperson.

They all walked out of the library together. Except for Chaeng and Jisoo, all of them had already met the business legend through Jennie.

"Father, you invited Grandpa?" Jennie whispered to Jihoon.

"Yes, of course. He's your mentor and has done a lot for you. It would be rude if I didn't at least send him an invitation," he replied. "But I never expected him to come."

"Well, he's probably bored so he came," she said with a shrug.

Then Jennie excused herself and separated from the group. She needed to use the powder room. Alice and Hoyeon went with her. Donghwi went ahead with Jihoon and Jia to greet Grandpa Kwon.

Seeing them, Jisoo pulled Chaeng to accompany the three to the powder room. Chaeng complained a bit because she was so excited to meet Sir Kwon. But in the end, she still went with them.

The five of them chatted while inside the powder room. They took turns using the toilet. They also retouched their make-up.

"Ruby, you started a business?" Chaeng asked.

"Yes," Jennie replied while washing her hands on the sink.

"What kind of business?"

"The one the elders were talking about during the meeting earlier is my beauty company."

"The one? What do you mean? You have more than one businesses?"

Jennie nodded. "Yes, I have two others for a total of three. At least for now."

Chaeng looked at her in surprised disbelief.

"Three businesses? That's amazing, little sister," Jisoo told Jennie.

She was holding her dress up because it was currently unzipped at the back. Alice was applying cold compress made from small towels soaked in cold water on the ugly bruises decorating her waist.

"I built two of them from the ground up. My beauty company and my gaming company. Orchidia Beauty hasn't launched yet, but my gaming company Planet Monkey recently released our first game. My third company was given to me by my fiancé as a gift, so I don't really have to do much. It's already well-established and running on its own. I just need to monitor its performance now and then," Jennie explained to them.

"Your fiancé gifted you a company?! Is your fiancé crazy?!" Chaeng exclaimed. She couldn't believe a man could be so stupid as to gift a company to a spoiled brat. She pitied the poor company, thinking that it was doomed to become bankrupt soon.

"Your fiancé must really love you a lot, little sister," Jisoo commented, wincing a little when Alice accidentally pressed hard on her bruises.

Jennie smiled. "Yes. My honey loves me a lot. I also love him a lot."

"Yeah! The couple always drown me with dog food whenever I'm near them. I even feel like I'm in danger of getting diabetes whenever I witness their overflowing sweetness to each other," Alice told them.

The inner door to the toilet opened and Hoyeon came out. She headed straight to the sink to wash her hands.

"Yes, Ruby and her fiancé are perfect for each other. I've never seen a man so in love with a woman before I met Ruby's fiancé," Hoyeon said.

"But you have Elder Brother," Jisoo told her. "He loves you very much."

Hoyeon gave a slightly subdued smile. She was happy that she and Hwi were together, but there was still a sense of uncertainty as to whether they could live in peace as husband and wife.

"If that big idiot hurts you or makes you unhappy, just leave him and find a better man." Jennie was merciless in her words regarding Donghwi.

Alice giggled.

"Little sister, he's our brother," Jisoo said.

"Hmph. So what if he's our brother? A jerk is a jerk whether he's family or not."

The ill feelings towards Donghwi and most of the Kims were still roiling inside Jennie, making her grumpy when talking about them. In fact, she was actually still feeling annoyed at Jisoo as well, but at the same time she was starting to like her. That was why she was tolerating Jisoo and Chaeng, even though they annoyed her. She thought that the two women weren't that bad.

They continued to chat until Chaeng grew impatient.

"Is everyone finished already?" she asked. "Let's hurry! I can't wait to meet Sir Kwon Jian in person!"

"Me too..." Jisoo said shyly. Her dress was already zipped up. As for her bruises, they still hurt but she could manage.

Alice and Hoyeon looked at the nonchalant Jennie. They were amused, knowing Jennie's close connection with Grandpa Kwon who Chaeng and Jisoo idolized.

"Let's go, then," Jennie announced.

The five young women walked together, not knowing that this night was the start of their life-long connection to each other.
