Chapter 36

In the evening, at the Zheng family home, Zheng Mama prepared another feast. Last time, she made a feast for Little Crystal, but the little one was still lost in the confusion of being confessed to and had no mood to eat, so it all ended up benefiting her father. Today, the eldest daughter was coming home, so she put in a lot of effort again.

Her eldest daughter has really been having a tough time lately. After seven years of hard work as a trainee, she finally debuted, but then a bunch of scandals emerged. The people online were so harsh, and even Zheng Mama found it hard to bear. She didn't expect her daughter to still be able to hold on!

She just couldn't understand why the few kids who took photos with Soo Yeon, who were also trainees from the same company, would be the subject of such rumors. They all knew each other since they were kids, so why the rumors?

Originally, she had gradually come to terms with it. The entertainment industry is like this, and if her daughter is fine, why should she worry so much?

But the fans have become increasingly extreme, to the point where even the usually lively Little Crystal has become silent, seemingly resistant to debuting. Oh, these people are really causing trouble...

Fortunately, after meeting a friend today, Little Crystal seemed to have thought through a lot of things, and her face, which had gradually become cold like her sister's, showed a smile again... But was this friend a boy or a girl? Zheng Mama's curiosity didn't diminish...

Then, the eldest daughter, Soo Yeon, came back. Zheng Mama noticed that her daughter didn't look as haggard as expected and actually returned with a genuine smile, not a forced one. This was strange... Or maybe the kids these days have such strong mental resilience?

Is this really her daughter? Everyone says Soo Yeon and Soo Kyung don't look alike. Soo Kyung is definitely her biological child, but could Soo Yeon have been switched at birth?

She really wanted to know how JESSICA would react if she knew what her mother was thinking...

So, the Zheng family ended the dinner with Zheng Mama's wild thoughts, Zheng Papa's carefree attitude, Zheng Soo Yeon's inexplicable happiness, and Zheng Soo Kyung's inexplicable excitement...

Zheng Soo Yeon was happy because the flies were no longer bothering her, and she discovered that babies weren't as terrifying as she thought. Moreover, watching others fight was quite exciting. She finally understood why her father, who was a boxer, had so many people watching him back then...

As for why Little Crystal was excited? Because she decided to be her sister's support and needed to comfort her.

In the past, she would have just stopped caring about her sister's withholding of her allowance, since she had secretly used her sister's cosmetics and worn her clothes...

But now it's different. After hearing so many things from Lee Seung Lin today, she felt an urge to speak her mind and was eager to comfort her sister...

Finally, the long-awaited bedtime chat between the Zheng sisters began:

"Big sister, how have you been lately?"

"Still the same!"

Little Crystal thought, it seems she's still not doing well and needs to be comforted.

"I heard the company has canceled all the sisters' schedules, is that true?"

"Yeah, now only you and Yoon Ah are filming a drama, and Taeyeon has a radio schedule! Everyone else has paused all activities! I don't know when we'll be able to resume activities..." Seeing her sister's thoughtful expression, Zheng Soo Kyung thought it was a great opportunity to speak up.

"Don't worry, big sister, you were the first group the CEO launched..." Little Crystal has a good memory.

Zheng Soo Yeon suddenly found her sister very unfamiliar. How could she understand these things at such a young age? But no matter what, it's for her own good, "Yeah, SUNNY's uncle, Lee Soo Man, said we'll only be on hold for a while and won't be disbanded!"

Wow, the uncle is really impressive, he guessed it right. Forgive the little girl's naivety...

"That's good. There's a Chinese saying, 'A blessing in disguise...'"

At this point, Zheng Soo Yeon really wanted to see what was in her sister's head. Is this really her mischievous sister? Has she been possessed by an alien? "You know Chinese idioms now?"

Oops, she overdid it, "Oh, this... The company is planning to launch a new girl group next year, and I thought learning Chinese might increase my chances of being selected. Victoria, who shares a dorm with me, is from China, so I asked her for help."

Oh, that makes sense. But her sister has quite a talent for languages. In Girls' Generation, only Chudong and the maknae know a little Chinese, but they don't use such advanced idioms. A good teacher is really important...

"You don't need to worry too much about the new girl group. As long as you continue to practice well, you'll definitely have a place!" After all, she has been in the company for seven years and has some connections. Plus, with SUNNY as a little spy, she knows some things.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I hope you can debut with a good debut song. I heard many companies are launching new girl groups next year, and the competition will be fierce. If you have a song like 'TELL ME,' you'll become famous overnight!"

Although she said this, JESSICA was thinking, if our group had a song like that, would we still have faced the nightmare of the black ocean?

"If the company really has a good song, it should be given to the big sisters!"

Her sister has really grown up. Was it too much to withhold her allowance? Maybe she should take less from her each month?

"After all, the unnie are very talented. People just don't understand you. If you have a good song, I believe the unnie will become very famous, even more famous than WONDER GIRLS. After all, your current attention is national-level..."

To be honest, JESSICA has heard similar words from SUNNY, which were relayed through her mouth by Lee Soo Man to reassure her and the sisters.

Why is Lee Soo Man so good to the group he promotes? After all, he is a major shareholder of S.M., and most of the money Girls' Generation earns goes into his pocket...

Moreover, these kids have grown up under his watch, and his own niece is in Girls' Generation. Although he is a businessman now, he is not heartless...

Now, JESSICA has only one thought: someone is guiding her sister. There's no way her little brain could come up with all this. It's impossible, or she wouldn't have been manipulated by her for so many years.

Faced with her sister's seemingly penetrating gaze, Little Crystal felt a bit guilty and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you look much happier today, big sister!"

Although she knew it was a change of subject, JESSICA still followed up, as she also felt an urge to speak her mind, "Do you know Yoo Jae Suk? Today..."

"Great, it's really satisfying!"

"Indeed, but who taught you all these things today?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you, since you never give me my allowance!"

... That night, the Zheng sisters spent the evening laughing and playing, a very beautiful night, wasn't it?
