Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 820: The Story of New Year’s Eve Dinner (Part )

It was quiet, very quiet; you could hear a pin drop in the brightly lit living room.

It took Li Jingshu a long time to recover from her shock. There was nothing she could do because her husband Zheng Yuanshuo's words caught her off guard.

"My dear, you have to be prepared. In the future, we may only have one son-in-law."

Actually, Zheng Yuanshuo's words could be interpreted in other different ways, but combined with his previous hesitation, Li Jingshu could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that Sooyeon and Xiaojing did something to offend Soojung?"

As the saying goes, mother and daughter are connected by heart. As her mother, how could Li Jingshu not notice Jessica's little thoughts? Now that her husband suddenly brought them to the table, she could not help but get furious.

"No, no, dear, you misunderstood me." Zheng Yuanshuo hurriedly pushed his wife back to the sofa.

"Come, let's sit down and talk slowly. Look at you, you still have such a bad temper. Xiuyan will let you do as you please."

"Hmph." Li Jingshu snorted coldly. Her expression was still cold, but much better than before.

Zheng Yuanshuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, then he pondered for a while before slowly speaking:

"Jingshu, how much do you know about Xiuyan's child's situation around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?"

"Mo? Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Jingshu was stunned at first and then her eyes widened.

Yes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a critical watershed for Jessica. Before that, she and Tyler, who had been pursuing her, were working together to create Little Division, and it seemed that she had a very unpleasant quarrel with SM Entertainment because of this.

Jessica even ran back to San Francisco to find some peace and quiet, but everything changed drastically on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

That Tyler disappeared without any warning, and then the Hong Kong police suddenly seized all his properties and investments on suspicion of multiple crimes, which scared Li Jingshu a lot.

Will Jessica and Xiaochuhao be implicated? After all, Jessica is an artist. If she is really involved, her public image will be ruined, and it is very likely that the entire Girls' Generation will be implicated.

Fortunately, what Li Jingshu worried about did not happen. Both Jessica and Xiaochuhao were fine, and the conflict with SM was inexplicably resolved. Then Jessica transformed herself into SM's artist director.

Good news came one after another, which made Li Jingshu completely put down her worries and turned her attention to Shuijing, but she did not spend time to delve into the reasons behind it.

Now that Zheng Yuanshuo brought it up again, Li Jingshu finally realized that there might be a problem, but she didn't understand what this had to do with the previous topic?

So she looked at Zheng Yuanshuo in confusion, signaling him to stop keeping her in suspense and explain everything to her quickly.

"My dear, don't worry and listen to me. This is what happened."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Zheng Yuanshuo no longer held back and told everyone everything he knew. As he spoke, Li Jingshu's face suddenly changed.

It turns out that Zheng Yuanshuo is always paying attention to the situation of his eldest daughter, because Tyler does not have a good reputation in America, and he has heard about it in the circle.

For this reason, he and Jessica had two in-depth talks as father and daughter, but unfortunately Jessica was so stubborn at the time that she didn't listen at all. Instead, she thought that Zheng Yuanshuo was interfering in her life.

In desperation, Zheng Yuanshuo had to adopt the strategy of observing secretly first and then intervening when necessary. There was no other way, he didn't want to know his eldest daughter too well, she was as stubborn as a donkey, and would not move forward even if led.

As expected, something really happened to Tyler. After Zheng Yuanshuo got the news, he immediately asked for leave from the law firm and planned to fly over to help Jessica clean up the mess. He never expected that the subsequent developments would leave him dumbfounded.

Huanuo Group actually took over Tyler's shares and injected a small amount of capital, which even shocked Zheng Yuanshuo.

Others may not know, but he is a commercial investment lawyer, so he naturally knows what Huanuo Group means. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an aircraft carrier. Jessica's small division sign is nothing in their eyes.

So Jessica not only passed the test safely but also received a windfall of wealth. Zheng Yuanshuo immediately became suspicious. At this time, Li Jingshu called him and told him that the youngest member of his family was in love with a Chinese man who was a senior executive in a joint venture.

Could it be that this was related to Shui Jing's new boyfriend? Zheng Yuanshuo had speculated this but quickly overturned it. It should be just a coincidence. He didn't believe that Shui Jing's boyfriend had such a capability. It was simply a fantasy.

But he didn't know that subsequent developments would slap him in the face. Less than a month later, Krystal and Lee Boo-jin had an intimate exchange at the American Chamber of Commerce and became a hot topic. Soon after, Lee Boo-jin announced in a high-profile manner that she would serve as an independent director of Huanuo Group.

When Zheng Yuanshuo saw the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, could it be that he had guessed it right?

Still not sure, right? Haha. Zheng Yuanshuo was skeptical about this for a long time, until the emergence of Xuejing Media finally cleared the last bit of doubt in his heart, and at the same time he became even more uneasy.

Why? The reason is very simple. Capital is naturally profit-seeking. However, he does not think that Huanuo's cooperation with Xiaochuhao is based on interests. The profit of a mere Xiaochuhao is nothing in the eyes of a giant like Huanuo.

Even if it is changed to SM company, it will be barely good enough. Then the question is, the strength of the two sides is too unequal. How to ensure that Jessica will not be controlled by capital in the future?

Zheng Yuanshuo has been in the business world for many years and has seen countless real-life bloody examples, even though Jessica has the halo of being a member of Girls' Generation.

Therefore, Zhou Jing is the only balance point between the two parties and is extremely important, but Zheng Yuanshuo asks himself how long this can last.

You have to know that Crystal has no personal shares in Snow View Media, and she joins the board of directors as a representative of Jingfa Group's shareholders. Then how can Jessica be on equal footing with Huanuo?

Just because she is Shui Jing's sister-in-law and Zhou Jing's sister-in-law? Don't be ridiculous. In the final analysis, Jessica got what she didn't deserve, so she had to pay a price. As for what the price was, it was very simple. She could only be Zhou Jing's woman. Even if the two of them kept the minimum moral bottom line, Jessica would never date another man, otherwise she would take a huge risk.

This conclusion put Zheng Yuanshuo in a dilemma. He believed that Jessica, who could figure it out, could get out of this dilemma immediately if she was willing to give up everything she had.

It seems that Jessica is not sad about her situation at all, but even enjoys it. WTF, her cabbages were taken away by two of them at once. Old Zheng couldn't let it go after thinking about it over and over again.

"Alas," Zheng Yuanshuo patted his legs and sighed deeply, "Jingshu, some things are helpless. In fact, the ending was doomed from the moment Xiaojing helped Xiuyan."

Her husband's sighs made Li Jingshu silent. Her face changed several times. It was obvious that she was racking her brains to think of a solution for Jessica. This might be Li Jingshu's subconscious inner entanglement and struggle as a mother.

Zheng Yuanshuo was also sighing when he saw his wife's reaction. He had experienced this mental journey himself. From the initial shock and unwillingness to the later having to accept the reality, Zheng Yuanshuo suffered a lot.

So it was still the Iceberg Queen Mother. This scene lasted less than three minutes. Li Jingshu picked up the pistol on the coffee table without saying a word.

"Oh my god, what do you want to do?"

"Hmph, what do you think?"

"."

Jessica had no idea what happened in San Francisco, but she was very happy now.

Although the DPS New Year's Eve dinner cannot be called a feast, at least it includes chicken, duck, fish and meat. It is much better than the Korean New Year's Eve dinner with half a table of kimchi.

A large projector was set up in the cafeteria, and everyone was ready to watch the live broadcast of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. However, there was an hour time difference between South Korea and China, so there was still some time before the Spring Festival Gala started.

It doesn’t matter, let’s perform the DPS Spring Festival Gala first. Jessica was excited while enjoying the food and watching the singing and dancing on the temporary stage.

"The world. Love and affection

Thousands of miles away, my heart is still the same

Tonight, when thousands of houses are lit up, perhaps you can see the beautiful scene in your dream through the window.

This was a program of the Metallurgical Construction Unit. Four young men and women sang loudly on the stage along with the dynamic and magnificent melody. Although Jessica could not understand the lyrics, she could relate to the music.

A sense of pride rose up in her heart unconsciously. It was so magical that she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Oppa, what's the name of this song?"

"Love each other, the theme song of the 09 National Games, also known as the Shandong Provincial Anthem, haha."

"Lu Province? Victoria's hometown?"

"Yeah, no, you know all this?"

"Snapped"

Jessica was too lazy to say more and just gave Zhou Jing a direct answer. No nonsense, how could she not know the background of her own sister, the captain?

Zhou Jing rubbed his arm and cursed inwardly that the violence card was really not a joke. Fortunately, Cao Xuefeng left halfway through his evening shift, otherwise he would have been laughed at for a whole year.

At this time, the music changed, and the Yimeng Mountain tune familiar to Chinese people sounded, immediately pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

“La la la, la la.”

Zhou Jing also hummed along with the crowd. The chorus of hundreds of people was very powerful, but unexpectedly there was a hint of baby voice in the mix.

Don't forget, Jessica is a professional player. Zhou Jing broke out in a cold sweat as soon as she opened her mouth.

As expected, as soon as the "Love Each Other" program ended, someone urged the leader to do one, and this move quickly received a positive response from everyone.

TNND, Zhou Jing had the highest position among those present when Cao Xuefeng slipped away, but he was really at a loss and had no preparation in advance. He never expected that someone would come to his rescue.

Jessica frowned after listening to the translation of her female colleague in the External Relations Office. Then, ignoring Zhou Jing's surprised look, she stood up and walked to the center of the stage. This move immediately silenced everyone.

Great, the big star is going to sing. To be honest, everyone came here for this purpose. As soon as Jessica came on stage, everyone concentrated and held their breath.

"Hello everyone, I am Jessica Jung, Happy Chinese New Year."

There was thunderous applause. Jessica looked at Zhou Jing, who was feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. So she smiled sweetly and continued:

“I don’t know many Chinese songs, but this one is my favorite. I dedicate it to everyone. Thank you.”

Jessica sang without accompaniment, but her voice was soon surrounded by people singing along, which was no less than a concert.

Every time, I am strong in wandering loneliness

Every time, even if it hurts, there will be no tears

I know, I have always had a pair of invisible wings

Take me flying, flying over despair
