"Second Sister-in-law, I said, Big Brother and Jisso have gotten divorced. They're really divorced, and she has moved out too!"

'We've lost a sister-in-law!'

Y/N remained composed as ever. "So be it then."

"Huh?" Jennie felt that she had either misheard Y/N, or she wasn't talking to Y/N at all.

"No, Second Sister-in-law, did you not hear what I said clearly? Big Brother and Jisso..."

"I know, they got a divorce, right? What's there to make a big fuss about? It's such a trivial matter. Okay, go study. You're a college student but you're being so gossipy instead of paying attention to your studies."

'Second Sister-in-law is so calm. Is Jisso not her favorite?'

"Bye."

After hanging up, Y/N looked at Taehyung and said gloatingly, "Seokjin and Jisso have gotten divorced."

Taehyung had his hands in his coat pockets and an indifferent expression on his face. His emotions actually didn't change a single bit after hearing that, as if they weren't his family members at all.

"Yes."

"Aren't you shocked?"

'Isn't Seokjin the closest to Doggy Taehyung?'

Taehyung looked up and answered calmly, "They didn't have true feelings for each other. It was only a matter of time before they'd get a divorce."

"..."

She felt that he was directing those words at her.

"Mr. Kim, don't worry, once..."

Not giving Y/N a chance to finish her sentence, Taehyung interjected, "I have an excellent relationship with you, Darling. You don't need to worry that I will file for divorce."

'Well, but I will!' Y/N thought to herself.

When she returned to her room, Y/N took her cell phone and called Jisso from the balcony.

Usually, Jisso would pick up very quickly but this time, it took several calls before Y/N could reach her.

"Hello, Y/N?" Jisso's voice sounded a bit hoarse and nasally. The noisy sounds of music could also be vaguely heard in the background.

"Jisso, where are you?"

"I'm at a bar. Y/N, I'm finally back to being single today. I'm here specifically to celebrate my singlehood."

Y/N finally figured out that Jisso was probably drunk.

'Jisso is so beautiful. At such a dangerous place like the bar where there are lots of sordid people, she'd definitely be taken advantage of by lechers, especially since she's so vulnerable!'

"I'm the heiress of rich family after all, who would dare to bully me... Y/N, I'm hanging up now, let's meet again when you come back..."

Y/N was certain that Jisso had had too much to drink. Usually, she would never speak in such a tone of voice.

Hearing that her line was engaged, she hurriedly searched for Jennie's contact number and gave it some thought before scrolling down her contact list again.

'Forget it, I'll call Tzuyu.'

Tzuyu had just bathed Mu Mu and was about to tell him a bedtime story. She was surprised to receive a call from Y/N at this hour.

Nowadays, Y/N rarely calls her, and was even colder and more indifferent than Taehyung.

Her intuition told her that something must be amiss.

Just as she expected...

Y/N called her late at night to ask her for help in saving her sister-in-law, Jisso.

Y/N waited for a long time and only went to bed with a peace of mind when Tzuyu sent her a video. Before going to sleep, she even instructed Tzuyu not to get all touchy with Jisso.

On the following day.

Taehyung personally sent her back to set. He didn't alight from the car at all and simply left without turning back after confirming that Y/N had met up with the crew.

Y/N was carrying a few pieces of diamond ore with her so she was behaving sneakily like a thief.

"Y/N, why is Mr. Kim in such a hurry to leave? He should have at least stayed for lunch."

She glanced at Lee Dong-wook coldly and asked rhetorically, "Can the food here be better than the food served at a five-star hotel?"

Lee Dong-wook was speechless.

In fact, it was true. Taehyung was the esteemed helmsman of the Kim Family and he was nice enough to have eaten the mediocre food that they offered to him once.

Lee Dong-wook rubbed his hands and smiled more fawningly. "Uh, is there anything that Mr. Kim is displeased with? Y/N, why didn't you tell me earlier that you're Second Young Madam Kim?"

Y/N remarked, "He thinks you're fine except that you talk too much nonsense."

She smoothened out the creases of her crumpled coat and said, "Get ready for the shoot so that we can wrap up earlier."

"Don't worry, I'm sure we can return to the city in advance."

Lee Dong-wook automatically thought that Y/N couldn't bear to part with Taehyung.

In Tzuyu's home back in the city.

Jisso was awakened by her immense thirst. She rubbed her aching, throbbing temples and slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself in an unfamiliar room.

She was dumbstruck and suddenly sat up as she realized that she was obviously in a child's room as there was a variety of toys in the room, with Transformers posters plastered all over the wall.

However...she wondered just how she ended up here.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened and Tzuyu entered with a cup of hot milk, "Miss... Miss Jisso, you're awake. Have some milk to warm your stomach up."

Looking at the pretty stranger in front of her, Jisso was a little stunned. "Excuse me, who are..."

"Oh, I'm Y/N's best friend, Tzuyu. Y/N told me that you were drunk and asked me to pick you up from the bar. I didn't know where you lived and I didn't think it would be safe to leave you in a hotel room alone so I brought you back to my place. Miss Jisso, you don't mind it, do you?"

'Oh, she's Y/N's friend.'

Jisso smiled at Tzuyu and said, "Thank you, Miss Tzuyu, it must have been hard on you last night."

Tzuyu waved her hand and said, "It's alright, Miss Y/N, you didn't behave hysterically when you're in a drunken stupor. You dozed off right after you were drunk."

She was really well-mannered and it was no wonder that she was the dignified and elegant Young Madam of the Kim Family.

'But Y/N seems to have mentioned that she has divorced Mr. Seokjin.'

'How can he bear to divorce such a beautiful and elegant woman? The Kims are indeed a family of jerks.'

After downing the glass of wine, her thirst was quenched and the dryness of her throat was soothed. Jisso coughed twice before asking, "Thank you, Miss Tzuyu, is this your son's room?"

"Yes." Tzuyu had a proud expression on her face at the mention of Mu Mu.

"The room is well-decorated and it looks very heartwarming. You should be living very blissfully with you husband and son, right?"

At this point, there was a trace of envy in Jisso's voice. When she first got married, she had also fantasized about having a child with Seokjin but unfortunately, it remained as a fantasy after all.

'Perhaps I will never be able to have a child of my own in this lifetime.'

Tzuyu began to get rather awkward. "Uh, I-I'm a single mother."

'Single mother?'

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I just..."

"It's alright, we're living in a modern society now, being a single mother is nothing to be ashamed of. I won't feel inferior because of it. Besides, Mu Mu is so cute and sensible, I'm so thankful that God gave me this treasure."

"After hearing what you said, I'd like to meet your son." Jisso smiled.

"My mom took him to the kindergarten. Miss Jisso, are you feeling any discomfort?" Tzuyu immediately changed the topic.

She knew that Jisso, the former Young Madam Kim, was obviously a smart person. If she were to discover something once she sees Mu Mu, it would be terrible.

Well, Mu Mu's eyes were very similar to his father's!

"I'm fine, I'll contact Y/N personally, but I still have to thank you for taking me in, Miss Tzuyu."

Tzuyu said nonchalantly, "You'd better call me Tzuyu.. I'm just a normal citizen, and it's awkward to call me Miss Tzuyu."

"Tzuyu, is it tiring to raise a child on your own?"

Jisso had always wanted to be a mother but unfortunately, Seokjin didn't give her a chance at all. Now that the both of them had already gotten a divorce, it was even more impossible.

Tzuyu was often very excited when it comes to Mu Mu. "No, it's not tiring, Mu Mu is the one who gives me hope to live on. If not for him, I can't even imagine how I'd survive for the past few years."

Single mothers, especially those who are young and have never even had a serious boyfriend, do get frowned upon very often.

When Tzuyu returned to her hometown pregnant back then, her relatives lashed out at her and called her names. Even when she returned this time, many of her relatives shot her dirty looks.

That period of time was rather torturous for her and she even had the idea of getting an abortion. However, as her pregnancy progressed, she couldn't bear to abort Mu Mu.

Fortunately, she gave birth to him in the end.

She felt rather happy with her life now.

"Great, are you very close to Y/N?"

"We're childhood friends who have known each other for years."

Tzuyu suddenly thought of something, looked at Jisso mysteriously, and asked, "Miss Jisso, do you feel that the current Y/N has changed a lot compared to the past?"

"She's indeed a bit different, but it's hard not to like the current Y/N."

"The current Y/N is indeed better but did she encounter a drastic change in the Kim Family? Otherwise, a person wouldn't have had such a drastic change of personality."

Tzuyu did not have a good impression of the Kim family, especially after knowing that Y/N had only had a huge change in temperament and character after she married Taehyung.

Jisso knew what Tzuyu was worried about so she smiled and reached out to pat Tzuyu on her shoulder. "It's alright, Y/N is so impressive. Not to mention the Kim family, even Taehyung can't bully her. Maybe, Y/N has seen through some things."

In fact, she didn't want the former cowardly and timid Y/N to return!

The current Y/N was powerful!

Y/N sneezed several times in a row. They had already finished filming the scenes in the village and next, they would have to film the scenes in the city. After Moon was brought back home by her biological parents, she was mocked by her relatives to the point of developing depression and eventually took her own life.

"Y/N, will Mr. Kim come and pick you up at the airport tomorrow?"

Y/N had just taken a comfortable bath and was now sitting on a chair while nibbling on an apple. Hearing her words, he glanced at Lee Dong-wook and asked, "Why would he come and pick me up?"

Lee Dong-wook was stunned. "Uh, you guys are a married couple, Mr. Kim seems to be very nice to you too..."

"Well, he won't get paid for picking me up so why would he do that?"

"..."

'You're Second Young Madam Kim after all, why are you such a money-grubber? Indeed, the richer you are, the stingier.' Lee Dong-wook was in disdain.

He now knew why Y/N was extremely stingy. It was because the Kim family also had a massive amount of money.

He was rather envious.

When the crew was getting ready to leave the village, the villagers gave them vegetables and eggs. In particular, some female villagers who felt that they had a knack in conceiving sons also imparted a lot of their experience to her.

In other words, they thought that she should give birth to a few sons in order to stabilize her position in the family.

"Y/N, you have to listen to us. When you go home, use that recipe we gave you and I guarantee you can conceive a son in half a month."

"Exactly. Your husband is so handsome, there must be plenty of women who are eying him. You have to give birth to a few more sons in order to have a foothold in the family. Many wealthy people favor boys over girls."

Y/N's smile was almost going to stiffen.

'What a joke, who would dare to force me to give birth if I don't want to?'

"Y/N, don't think we're just joking. People in today's society are much more pragmatic than we were during our era!"

"Yes, yes, that's right. It's a pity that you are already married, otherwise I would introduce my son to you. He doesn't show favoritism to boys and he'll like any child as long as it belongs to him."

Y/N once again witnessed the eloquence of women from villages.

They were almost as good as her.

Lee Dong-wook often advocated frugality. They had traveled here on economy-class air tickets. Ever since they learned about Y/N's relationship with Taehyung, they specially booked first-class air tickets for Y/N on the for the flight back to the city.

The weather had been cool lately and there were only a few people in the first-class cabin.

Y/N habitually covered herself with the towel and got ready to take a nap when a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"Miss Y/N, you're quite relaxed."

She frowned, opened her eyes and turned her head slightly to the side with a look of displeasure. "You're really everywhere. Are you stalking me, Mr. Min?"

Yoongi removed his bluetooth earphones and sized Y/N up in contempt. "Miss Y/N, you're quite thick-skinned."

"If not, how can I deal with you, Mr. Min?" Y/N gibed.

'I should have said that I'm working for Yoongi when I went to snatch away the diamond ores. This man is even more detestable than Bo-young at times.'

"Miss Y/N, I'll be frank with you. The position of Second Young Madam Kim isn't suitable for you. Even if I'm not in the picture, someone else will come along and strip you off your position."

"Are you referring to your younger sister?" As she spoke, she moved her hair away from her forehead and said, "Mr. Min, you're obsessively confident in his sister, but unfortunately Taehyung just doesn't fancy her. So Mr. Min, why don't you be a hero and marry your sister?"

Yoongi's face instantly turned sullen and he glared at Y/N. "Miss Y/N, please mind your words. I believe Mr. Kim won't go against the entire Min family for your sake."

Y/N waved her hand and said with an innocent expression, seemingly not taking his threat seriously at all, "But I will go against the Min family for your sake."

As she spoke, she immediately stopped smiling and looked at Yoongi with a straight face, "Don't take yourself too seriously. I don't have a good temper and if you anger me, you might have to spend the rest of your life wheelchair-bound."

Yoongi knew from all the information about Y/N that she had an eccentric temper but he didn't expect it to be so strange.

At the end of the day, it was still the same. If Y/N wasn't Taehyung's wife, he might admire her.

"Miss Y/N, have you done a good thing for Mr. Kim recently?" Yoongi asked, clearly driving at something.

Y/N instantly understood what he was referring to.

In the social circle of upper-class families, nothing can be kept a secret, especially from a top family like the Min family,

However, the Min family had previously gotten into a conflict with the Kim Family over the diamond ores too. Thus, she reckoned that they might have gone against Taehyung this time because of her.

She remembered that many members of Team No. 1 were wounded at that time!

'These scores...'

Y/N glanced at Yoongi.

'Don't ever let me get a chance to catch you or I'll kill you.'

"You've offended two families at once, Miss Y/N. You're quite capable." Yoongi sneered.

Y/N grinned at him and said, "Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Min. Unfortunately, I'm not the one who offended them."

"You mean Bo-young?"

Yoongi felt more and more that Y/N was a troublemaker who liked to get into trouble everywhere.

Bo-young had been Jeon Jung-hyun's clandestine lover for so many years without being discovered. It obviously wasn't because Jeon Jung-hyun had kept it well hidden.

Bo-young's scheming tricks were not something like a greenhorn like Y/N could deal with.

Once Bo-young finds out that Y/N had created trouble for her....

Yoongi was very clear with the tricks that Bo-young often played and he was certain that Y/N would be no match for her at all.

"Miss Y/N, what makes you think you're worthy of that position?"

Y/N retorted particularly arrogantly, "Because I'm a woman and Taehyung will never fancy you."

Yoongi was so furious that he turned pale. He still remembered what Y/N had said to his subordinate.

'I fancy Taehyung?'

"Miss Y/N, saying the wrong things often leads to trouble. Please mind your words."

"I'm sorry but I speak human language to humans, ghost language to ghosts, and to beasts like you, I'll have to speak nonsense."

After saying that, she put the blanket over her head and said, "Unless you admit that you're a beast, don't talk to me, Mr. Min."

'What an uncultured and uncouth wench. Is the Kim Family blind to have let her marry Taehyung?'

Yoongi humphed coldly. Despite being eloquent, he was rendered speechless by Y/N's words.

'This wild brat from the village can't compare to Yuxi at all.'

As soon as the plane touched down and came to a complete halt, Y/N eagerly wanted to leave but coincidentally, she ran into Yoongi at the door.

Y/N's face was slightly sullen and she suppressed her urge to punch him. She could understand why some people were overprotective towards their sisters. In fact, most men who were protective over their sisters were good men.

However, she couldn't allow him to offend her for the sake of his sister.

'The Min family, huh? Just you wait!'

Lee Dong-wook was an expert at marketing after all. During the filming in the village, he would often post some sneak peeks of Y/N working hard, on Instagram. During this period of time, she had risen to fame and many media reporters and fans were already waiting at the entrance of the airport.

Almost as soon as they left the hall, she saw that there were lots of people in front of them.

The banner with her name on it was hung high and there were a few large posters of her too.

"Sister Y/N is out. Oh my god, she has lost so much weight!"

"Why has Sister Y/N become so tanned? She's still the most beautiful woman to me!"

Y/N's fans dashed towards her in a frenzy.

Considering the fact that she was Second Young Madam Kim, Lee Dong-wook quickly winked at the other staff members. Just as they were about to stop the fans from approaching, Y/N raised her arm again.

"Wait, don't hurt my babies!"

After saying that, she winked at her fans.

At this moment, her fans lost their composure and exclaimed, "Sister Y/N, I want to marry you!"

"Sister Y/N, we may be girls but we can satisfy you in all aspects!"

"Sister Y/N, I'm willing to be your sub!"

The media personnel who were initially planning to interview Y/N were shocked by the scene.

They had waited for Y/N before but they had never seen her fans acting in such a crazy manner!

Y/N was about to say goodbye to them when a figure appeared in the corner of her eye. It was a man who was carrying a camera and sneakily hiding behind a pillar, obviously up to no good.

Perhaps because he had noticed that Y/N had discovered him, he immediately pressed his cap down and left.

"Y/N, we have to get going now, what are you looking at?" Lee Dong-wook urged.

Y/N looked away and said, "It's nothing much."

She felt that there was something wrong with them.

Y/N's sixth sense had always been sharp. On that night, she made it to the hot search list again with her rumors.

'Y/N seems to have become the mistress of the heir of the Min family.'

'Y/N manages to hook up with a wealthy tycoon.'

...

Anyway, the posts were all insinuating that she had finally fulfilled her dream of marrying into a wealthy family.

However, they were obviously trying to flame her out of jealousy.

'I'm Yoongi's kept mistress? Is Yoongi even fit to be my sugar Daddy?'

Although Yoongi wasn't known to be a playboy, unlike Kai, many female celebrities had been rumored to be his girlfriend.

Kai would date any beautiful girl while Yoongi would date any female celebrity.

However, he had higher standards and would only date female celebrities who were from prestigious families and had innocent backgrounds.

Y/N stared at the news on the how she had so-called squeezed her way to the top and how miserable a certain female celebrity's life was after the breakup...

That wasn't all. Someone had even exposed the photos of Yoongi and her sharing eye contact on the plane.

To be honest, they really seemed to be dating.

Taehyung happened to have come downstairs at this moment and saw Y/N at a glance. He said coldly, "Darling, you're indeed very popular with men. Now you've hooked up with Mr. Min too."

Y/N frowned and asked, "With which eye did you see me hooking up with him?"

"With both my eyes." As he spoke, he pointed at her phone screen and asked, "Darling, aren't you looking at it?"

'My foot!'

"Mr. Kim." Y/N put down her cell phone and placed both her hands on her knees. She looked at Taehyung sternly and said, "I really suspect that Yoongi has taken a liking to you."

Taehyung looked up and said, "You're thinking too much, Darling."

"No, he just fancies you."

"It's alright, as long as I don't like him."

As he spoke, he moved away the bolster beside Y/N and sat down next to her.

Y/N subconsciously moved to the side but Taehyung merely glanced at her and said, "I'll settle this matter myself."

"I don't need."

'If I need Taehyung to deal with this matter, wouldn't I be useless and incompetent?'

"Don't worry, it's not for you, I just don't want the reputation of the Kim Family to be affected."

Y/N looked at him in bewilderment. 'No one knows about the relationship between me and Taehyung anyway, how can the Kim Family's reputation be affected?'

"I seriously suspect that this is the Min family's conspiracy. Darling, you'd better be careful, Yoongi is very scheming, just leave it to me."

'As if I'd trust you! You're making it sound as if you're not scheming too!'

Y/N rolled her eyes and waved her hand.

She really didn't care about the rumors. Since she arrived in ancient times, she had been involved in lots of scandals.

Many of her fans had gotten sick of it, let alone Y/N herself. Most of her haters online were fans of other celebrities.

"Go handle the matter then."

She had to admit that things were indeed different when Taehyung intervened. Not only had Y/N's and Yoongi's relationship been clarified, they had even caught the initial whistle blower and forced him to apologize in a live stream.

The scandal passed just like that and Y/N continued filming with the crew.

Tzuyu surprisingly had the time to ask her out today.

"Y/N, is your sister-in-law okay?"

'Sister-in-law?'

Y/N frowned and said, "She went abroad for a product launch but that scumbag Seokjin actually went missing too."

"Your sister-in-law is quite nice, why would Mr. Kim divorce her?"

Y/N glanced at Tzuyu and asked, "Kai is quite handsome, why are you avoiding him?"

"..."

Tzuyu immediately changed the subject and said, "Y/N, Jackson has organized a classmates' gathering and he invited us."

'Jackson?'

Y/N asked with a bewildered gaze, "Who is Jackson?"

"The class president of our class in high school. He's quite an honest guy, do you want to go?"

'Class president of our high school class?'

She really didn't have an impression of him.

However...

"You transferred to another school halfway through the term, are you still in touch with them?"

Tzuyu answered with an innocent expression, "Jackson contacted me first. He was quite close to me then so I accepted his friend request.. He said that there's a gathering this Saturday and asked me to ask you along because he knows that we're close."

"You agreed?"

Tzuyu was somewhat agitated. "Of course not, I specially took a day off from work to ask you about this. I'm not close to them at all, I just thought that I should ask you since you've been their classmate for three years after all."

"You think I care for them?" Y/N asked rhetorically.

Tzuyu shook her head and said, "No."

In the past, the softhearted Y/N might give in and agree but it was impossible for the current Y/N to do so.

"Yeah, so turn him down."

In her opinion, classmate gatherings are all about secretly competing and showing off to each other.

Tzuyu had probably been used as a mouthpiece by Jackson whose main motive was to ask Y/N out instead.

Y/N remembered clearly that Tzuyu had been bullied and ostracized by them in high school because she was overweight back then.

"I'll tell him no now."

As she spoke, Tzuyu pulled out her cell phone and was about to reply him but Y/N suddenly thought of something and stopped her. "Come on, let's go."

"Huh?"

"There are a few girls in our high school class who used to bully you all the time, right?"

"I..."

Not waiting for Tzuyu to finish her sentence, Y/N interjected, "No one is allowed to bully my woman. Let's turn up to the gathering, I'll bully them to get back at them for you."

Seeing how fierce and aggressive she was, Tzuyu felt a sudden soreness in her nose. "Forget it, don't go if you don't want to. That happened ages ago, I've long forgotten about it."

"You've forgotten? They called you a fat pig and tore up your textbooks. They used your name to write love letters to a lewd man. How could you have forgotten about those?"

'It's such a pity that I didn't arrive here earlier. Otherwise, those people wouldn't have had the opportunity to bully Tzuyu. Tzuyu may be kindhearted but I'm not.'

Besides, many of the girls in their high school class had also slandered Y/N all the time during high school because they were jealous of her beauty.

"Y/N, there's really no need for that. They're just..."

"If I say it is necessary, it is necessary. It just so happens that I haven't been in a good mood lately and I need an outlet to vent my frustration. Since they've showed up themselves, how can I not fulfill their wishes?"

Before attending the gathering, Y/N specifically asked Kai to run a background check on those former classmates of theirs.

The class president Jackson was now working in a medium-sized enterprise as a sales manager but he was said to have become much more mercenary.

Ye Minran, the leader of the few girls who bullied Tzuyu, was said to have married a wealthy man and become even more arrogant.

She was also the one who wanted to see Y/N.

Y/N was dressed casually in a white sweater and a pair of jeans but Tzuyu had specifically dolled herself up and to be frank, she was quite pretty.

"Y/N, you're going in like this?"

Y/N looked at her outfit and asked, "Why? What's wrong?"

"Ye Minran and her clique are really annoying. If you're not well-dressed, she'll definitely mock you again."

Y/N tossed her long hair and said, "Well, I'm a natural beauty and I can trump everyone even if I show up barefaced. She won't have the cheek to mock me."

"..."

'Ye Minran may not be as beautiful as Y/N but... is it really good to be so narcissistic?'

The gathering was held in a five-star hotel in the city. When Tzuyu and Y/N arrived, most of their classmates were already present.

Ye Minran's husband had apparently booked a large private room for them.

At this moment, there was a large platter of delicacies in the room and everyone was dressed to the nines.

The moment Y/N and Tzuyu walked in, they became the center of attention, especially Y/N who was currently one of the most popular actresses. Besides, she was naturally gorgeous so she could still steal the limelight even though she was dressed in a simple outfit.

"Oh my God, you've become so beautiful. Indeed, being a celebrity is just different."

"Yes, yes, when we were in school, I always thought that Y/N was destined to become a huge celebrity in the future.. I didn't expect to have guessed correctly."

"Y/N, are you very close to Jimin? Well, on the account that we're former classmates, why don't you bring him to meet us some time?"

As soon as they saw Y/N, everyone gathered around her and began chattering non-stop as if they were very close to her.

Tzuyu was squeezed away and completely left out.

At this juncture, a beautifully dressed woman happened to strut towards the crowd, holding a glass of wine in hand and thinking that she was elegant.

"Hey, that's our superstar. Y/N, I thought you'd be too busy to come join us today."

Although Y/N couldn't recognize Ye Minran's face, she could tell from her obnoxious tone that she must be Ye Minran.

"It's okay, Tzuyu is timid, I'm worried that she might get bullied."

Ye Minran's gaze became a little gloomy. She had always been jealous of Y/N's pretty face and now that Y/N had become a celebrity, her aura was different and she was particularly eye-catching.

"Tzuyu? Ah, where's Tzuyu? I haven't seen her since she transferred to another school." As she spoke, Ye Minran covered her mouth and chuckled before teasing, "Tzuyu was rather fat when we were in high school but that's fine as long as she's healthy."

Y/N squinted and sized Ye Minran up, giving the latter the chills.

"What... What are you doing?"

"Oh, Tzuyu has a better figure than you. She's much more well-endowed."

"I..." Ye Minran said with a look of displeasure, "Hah, is that so? I really want to take a good look at her then."

"She's here, isn't she? Why have all your eyesights become worse now that your living standards have improved?" Y/N said, deliberately keeping them in suspense.

Ye Minran's face grew extremely sullen. 'Y/N has become much more arrogant after becoming a celebrity.'

"Is that so? Where is Tzuyu..."

"Oh, you guys might have blocked her because of how large you guys are." As she spoke, she reached out to push Ye Minran and the rest. "All of you, get out of the way, I'm not a national treasure, why are you guys crowding around me?"

The crowd dispersed and Y/N pulled Tzuyu in. "Well, our former classmates said that they want to meet you."

Just now, everyone's attention was on Y/N so they ignored the woman beside here. Now that they've taken a glance, they finally discovered that Tzuyu had really lost a lot of weight and changed greatly.

The first to speak was a man who was as skinny as a stick and was dressed in a suit that obviously wasn't suitable for him. He said with a fawning smile, "Haha, Y/N, everyone wanted to take a good look at you now that you've become a celebrity. Hey, Tzuyu looks really pretty after she has lost weight."

Afraid that Y/N had forgotten about him, the man began to introduce himself, "I am Jackson, the class president of our class when we were in high school. This is Ye Minran, whose husband paid for our gathering today. Her husband runs a food supply business and he's very wealthy."

'He's just the owner of a small company. He definitely isn't as rich as my Doggy Taehyung!'

Tzuyu grinned as a form of response.

"Tzuyu, how did you lose weight? Your nose job is quite well done, which hospital did you go to? Can you recommend it to me?" Ye Minran's follower immediately gibed sarcastically.

Tzuyu was rather displeased and she tried her best to maintain her smile. "I didn't get a nose job."

"That's impossible, I remember that your nose wasn't as well-defined before this. Besides, you..."

Before they could finish, Y/N interrupted, "The plastic surgeon who operated on her nose is called Goddess Aphrodite. Why? Are you jealous?"

"I..."

"Don't laugh, there's too much silicone in your face and you look scary when you smile. I'm afraid my fans will deal with you if I get badly frightened."

"Minran...."

Ye Minran already disliked Y/N in the first place. Now that Y/N was also helping Tzuyu bully the people from her clique, she loathed Y/N even more.

"Y/N, Lily was just asking out of curiosity. Why do you have to be so overbearing? You're now a public figure after all, you shouldn't be acting this way, should you?"

"You didn't find out more about me, did you?" Y/N asked rhetorically.

'Find out more? You're just an actress, what's there to find out? I'm a rich man's wife now.' Ye Minran thought to herself in disdain.

Ye Minran continued, "I just think that since we're classmates, we shouldn't make things too awkward and tense now that we're having a gathering after so many years of not meeting each other."

Jackson chimed in, "That's right, that's right let's clear all the misunderstandings that we have about each other. We're all adults now, we shouldn't be so calculative with each other, right? Minran, isn't you husband going to drop by? We want to thank him on behalf of the class!"

In an instant, everyone's attention was on Ye Minran again, especially her clique of followers who were acting as if they were the ones that were married to a rich man.

"Yes, Minran's husband is one of the richest people in our city, and I heard that he knows many bigwigs here. This time, he's here to have a meal with Mr. Jeon, the CEO of Jeon Corporation!"

"It's my husband's blessing to be able to have a meal with Mr. Jeon. Don't make it seem so exaggerated, you guys," Ye Minran said pretending to be modest. "Y/N, you celebrities often have to entertain big bosses so you probably dine at fancy restaurants all the time. I don't know if you've been to this hotel, my husband said the food here is ranked among the best in the country. Feel free to order what you want, don't stand on ceremony with me."

She was just showing off.

Y/N glanced at her with a straight face before suddenly saying with a smile, "We'll have one portion of each of the most expensive dishes on the menu."

After saying that, she sat down on the sofa to rest.

She thought that Y/N would be polite and totally didn't expect that she would order the most expensive dishes on the menu in the restaurant.

Ye Minran was a little surprised. Although her husband's family was quite affluent, her mother-in-law was very strict. Now that Y/N had ordered so many expensive dishes, the meal would definitely cost a bomb.

If Ye Minran's mother-in-law were to find out, she would definitely have to face the blast.

Seeing that Ye Minran seemed a little sullen, Y/N deliberately mocked with derision, "Why? Ye Minran, are you feeling the pinch? Well, that makes sense, the food here is quite expensive. I can't afford it anyway and I thought I could get a good meal today thanks to you but since you can't bear to, let's forget it."

She then picked up her purse, which was beside her, and got ready to leave with Tzuyu.

"It doesn't cost that much, why can't I bear to?" Ye Minran said with a hypocritical smile and secretly clenched her fists while cursing Y/N.

"Oh, based on your expression just now I thought you couldn't bear to pay for it."

"You must have misunderstood. Y/N, you just said you can't afford to eat here. Why is that so? Actresses like you should earn quite a far bit of money, right?"

Y/N sighed and said, "Well, inflation is driving prices up greatly. It's not like I'm the emperor's daughter."

Hearing her words, Ye Minran couldn't help but boast and flaunt her wealth again. "Oh, I see. It's true that things are getting more expensive and prices are skyrocketing. Fortunately, my husband loves me, so he insists on buying me the most expensive things and doesn't want to let me suffer by using cheap things. Y/N, youth is the greatest capital for actresses. I advise you to find a good man and get married while you're still young. You're quite a good catch yourself, you should be able to easily get married to those divorced big bosses."

'Divorced big bosses? What kind of misunderstanding does Ye Minran have about me?'

"Was your husband a divorcée?" Y/N asked as she lifted her glass and swirled its contents.

Ye Minran raised her chin slightly and said with a smile, "Of course not, my husband said that I'm the only woman he has ever married."

As soon as she said that, everyone else around them began to get into a huge commotion.

"Minran is so lucky. Among all the girls in our class, Minran should be the one leading the most blissful life, right?"

"That's for sure, she married such a good husband, I'm envious."

Tzuyu sat down beside Y/N. When she heard her words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

'Y/N has married Taehyung, you guys are going to be so envious when you find out.'

After everyone quietened down, Y/N asked, "How old is your husband this year?"

Ye Minran answered with a smug smile, "31."

'He's older than Doggy Taehyung, what are you being so conceited for? It's not like you married the richest man in the world.'

"Is your husband handsome? Is he as suave as Jimin?"

'Duh, Jimin is everyone's idol.'

"Who can compare to Jimin? Well, my husband's looks are average," Ye Minran said modestly.

The woman named Lily beside her hurriedly denied, "Minran you don't need to be modest. Minran's husband is quite dashing. He looks like a Eurasian too."

Ye Minran said a few more pleasantries out of courtesy before looking at Y/N again. 'She must be jealous. So what if she's now a famous actress? Marrying a good husband matters more.'

"Okay." Y/N nodded calmly and suddenly raised her brows before saying arrogantly, "I'm a year younger than you and much prettier than you too. Most importantly, I have a better career and a larger fan base than you too. If you can marry a somewhat acceptable man, the man I marry must be better than your husband. Why? Does your husband know anyone who's a better catch than him? If he does, you may introduce me to his friend."

Tzuyu almost burst into laughter because she really adored the current Y/N.

There was complete silence.

Well since Y/N was a famous actress now, she had the right to be arrogant. Many were chiming in and saying that Y/N would definitely marry a good man in the future.

"Hah, Y/N, you have really high standards. I hope you get what you wish for then," Ye Minran answered perfunctorily, completely disregarding Y/N.

'To put it bluntly, this woman may have used some devious means to become famous in the entertainment industry. So what if she's pretty? Does she think she can marry a man who's better than my husband? She can dream on!'

Before Y/N came, she had been in the limelight and the center of attention but Y/N stole the limelight when she arrived.

Ye Minran hated feeling that way. She suddenly clapped her hands and said loudly, "Oh right, my husband plans to develop his business in this city and he'll bringing me to view some houses tomorrow. We're looking at villas near the South of the City, I heard that they're quite large in size. When we move in and settle down, you guys must visit!"

"Really? Minran, your husband is impressive. I heard that the housing prices in that area are very expensive."

"Minran, I'm Wang Jun, I don't know if you still remember me. I'm also running a food ingredient supply business now, can I learn from your husband?"

"Minran, my husband said that..."

Y/N, who was still in the center of attention, was instantly neglected at this moment.

'So what if she's an actress? I'm the one enjoying all the attention. People tend to suck up only to those who can really help them.'

In particular, many of Y/N's female classmates were married and their main agenda of going to the gathering was to build connections for their husbands.

"Y/N, Ye Minran is still as detestable as ever."

"It's fine, I can be more detestable than her."

"Y/N, you must have also bought a house in this city, when will you take us to visit your place?" the former class president, Jackson asked.

'Do I seem like someone who can afford a house?'

Y/N was thinking about the Kim family manor because that land was said to be so exclusive that it cannot be bought with money.

"I don't own a house."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Minran suddenly asked in surprise, "Why is that so? Don't you actresses earn lots of money? Y/N, you don't have any parents or siblings to feed, why is it that you can't even afford a house?"

At this point, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, right, the property prices in the city are high and I heard that many celebrities live in rented apartments. That's understandable but Y/N, your living standards are high so the location of your rented place should be good too."

"Miss Ye, you seem to be very interested in the lives of others, huh?"

Ye Minran said with a hypocritical smile, "I'm just concerned about you."

Leaning slightly against the backrest of her chair, Y/N picked at her nails nonchalantly and said, "Didn't you always set me up back when we were in school? Oh, and not to forget, you used to harm Tzuyu too."

"You..."

Y/N interrupted, "I'll be frank with you, my main purpose of coming here today is to make all of you who had bullied Tzuyu back in high school to apologize to her. Aren't they advocating against bullying on campus these days? The sooner you apologize, the sooner you can reincarnate."

'Apologize? She wants us to apologize to Tzuyu?'

Ye Minran thought to herself with a contemptuous gaze, 'She must be dreaming. Does she really think she can do whatever she wants just because she has become an actress?'

The rest of the crowed began to fall silent and they couldn't help but take a few more glances at Tzuyu who was seated beside Y/N.

To be honest, Tzuyu was quite pretty after she lost some weight.

In fact, all of the people in their high school class had bullied her, just that the extent to which they did so varied.

The reason that Tzuyu chose to transfer to another school was because Ye Minran had once led her clique to hang a bucket of ice on the door of the classroom during wintertime. Tzuyu was drenched in iced water the moment she pushed the door open to enter. Afterwards, she missed class for several days in a row.

Later, she even packed up her things in the classroom with her parents and never returned to school again.

The homeroom teacher told them that Tzuyu had transferred to another school and reprimanded the whole class, especially Ye Minran, whose parents were called to school too.

However, Ye Minran was a huge bully in their cohort at the time and even after her parents were called to school, she continued bullying those who were weaker than her.

Seeing that the tension was making the atmosphere a little awkward and bizarre, Jackson immediately stepped forward to give everyone an out, "We're all former classmates, let's not bring up the past anymore. It's rare for us to get together like this, so let's talk about some happier things. I shall apologize to Tzuyu on everyone's behalf. At that time, we were all young and foolish, I'm sure we all regret our actions then."

Recently, he wanted to jump ship to another company and get a better job in the city. Knowing that Ye Minran's husband had a wide network of connections, he wanted to ask her to help introduce some job opportunities to him.

Y/N was now a famous actress so he thought that he could take a photo with her and then post it to get some clout, in hopes that someone might try to get close to him then.

However, he didn't expect Y/N's personality to have changed so drastically as she was no longer as meek and compliant as she used to be.

"By the way, Tzuyu, what are you working as now? You're close friends with Y/N, now that she's a famous actress, your profession probably isn't much worse, right?"

Tzuyu suddenly felt that the former class president, who used to be quite amiable, was extremely detestable.

'Why are humans like this? Is it really that important to suck up to the rich and powerful?'

She answered gently, "I'm a reporter."

"That's impressive. Reporters are incredible," Jackson began to praise in an exaggerated manner.. "I didn't expect everyone in our class to be so competent. We have to help each other out often!"

To put it nicely, it was a classmates' reunion but to put it bluntly, it was just a function to build social connections.

Y/N had gotten eyeopener of how pompous and full of tricks people of the modern era are. Thus, she suddenly felt that people from era were much better. Even Old Wang from the mountain next to hers who often vied with her for business seemed to be much nicer now.

"Didn't you try to find out more about my temper before you invited me?" Y/N said with a beautiful smile. "I even had the guts to beat up the Best Actress titleholder and a film director in front of the media and cameras. Do you think I won't dare to beat up my former classmates?"

"Oh, by the way, you guys probably don't know about this yet but I picked up martial arts after I graduated and I'm quite good at it. I've even helped the police arrest criminals."

Most of the news about celebrities were untrue so they didn't really take it seriously.

"Y/N, Tzuyu doesn't hold it against us. We were all young and full of vigor at that time. Besides, we were just kids, what do we know?" Ye Minran said perfunctorily. "The dishes are here, let's all sit down and enjoy the food. Y/N has ordered the signature dishes of this hotel and they taste pretty good."

Noticing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Jackson quickly tried to relieve the tension. "Yes, yes, it's all in the past, let's eat before singing our hearts out. Y/N is a superstar now, she must be great at singing."

"I'm sorry but I can't sing," Y/N retorted nonchalantly.

"..."

Indeed, people tend to put on airs when they get famous.

Ye Minran was still about to continue lashing out at them but Tzuyu tugged her sleeve and said, "It's alright, since Ye Minran wants to move back to this city, she'll definitely continue creating trouble for us in the future. We'll have plenty of chances to get back at her."

Y/N glanced at Tzuyu and sighed.

'Why are women so kind these days? They're getting bullied so badly and they can still tolerate it.'

Since Ye Minran's husband was treating them to a meal today, Ye Minran naturally took the master seat.

Her condescending attitude was really repulsive.

"Y/N, let's leave after dinner, it's quite uncomfortable being here."

Y/N did not answer, and continued eating her food. She even deliberately chose to eat the most expensive dishes.

It just so happens that Ye Minran's cell phone rang at this moment. After the call, she glanced at Tzuyu openly with a contemptuous gaze.

Tzuyu somehow had an ominous premonition.

"Wow, it turns out that you already have a kid, Tzuyu. If my cousin's son wasn't in the same school as your son, I wouldn't have known about it!"

Many people started bombarding her with questions.

"Tzuyu, are you married?"

"Tzuyu, why didn't you tell us that you're married? What does your husband work as?"

"Since you're a reporter, is your husband a reporter too?"

The crowd was still asking questions but Ye Minran suddenly said sarcastically, "I heard that she got pregnant out of wedlock. At that time, I heard my mom mentioning that she saw Tzuyu returning home with a toddler, who was actually her son. I didn't believe her at first but it turns out that it's true."

Tzuyu's face immediately grew sullen.

Ye Minran's mother lived very near Tzuyu's maternal grandmother and they both knew each other too. However, Ye Minran's mother was a gossipmonger and a blabbermouth so the people in their residential estate disliked her very much.

The woman named Lily pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that so? Tzuyu actually had a child out of wedlock? Wouldn't it be very difficult for her to get married in the future then? Why do women these days not respect and love themselves?"

Tzuyu finally lost her temper and smacked her hand against the table. "So what if I had a child out of wedlock? I'm the one with the kid, not you guys.. I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business at all."

"Don't get so worked up, I'm just saying. Besides, since you had the guts to have a child out of wedlock, why can't you take some criticism?"

Ye Minran added, "Yeah, it's pretty normal to have a child out of wedlock in today's society. Old people are just more close-minded and tend to make nasty remarks. Tzuyu, did your child's father commit a crime and got locked up in prison or something?"

All of a sudden, everyone subconsciously pulled away from Tzuyu.

If she really gave birth to the child of a criminal, she would be equivalent to the criminal's family!

Tzuyu's chest heaved up and down and she was just about to lash out at them but a loud sound of a slap filled the air at this timely juncture.

"I can't even bear to scold her, who are you to lecture her?" Y/N rebuked with one hand on her waist, after which she couldn't help but slap Lily again. "You'd better mind your words before I cripple you, believe it or not."

Y/N's sudden slap scared everyone in the room, causing them to freeze in shock while staring at her, absolutely dumbfounded.

No one expected Y/N to slap someone right on the spot.

Lily covered her face and stared at Y/N with a fiery gaze in her eyes. "Who are you to slap me? Do you think you're a big deal because you're an actress? Women who work in your industry are the most filthy ones. God knows how many old men have toyed with you before."

'Damn it! This bitch must be taught a lesson or she'll just be a waste of space!'

She picked up the glass of red wine on the table and splashed it onto Lily's face before raising her hand to slap her twice more. "At least I'm known for my beauty in the entertainment industry and I have countless fans, unlike you. You don't even have what it takes to seduce men. What do you have?"

"Damn it, you have nothing and you're trying to act like a big boss here. Who do you think you are?"

Lily's cheeks were red and swollen. The others were dumbstruck and scared soulless by those two slaps that Y/N had given her, let alone Lily herself.

Ye Minran subconsciously touched her face and wondered, 'When did Y/N become so rude and brutal?'

"And you." Y/N suddenly turned around and pointed at Ye Minran's nose, "I wanted to let you off for the time being at first but now, you either apologize to me and Tzuyu immediately, or take two slaps from me to let me vent my anger. It's your choice."

Ye Minran gritted her teeth with a hostile expression. "Y/N, don't take things too far. You're a public figure after all. If we blow things up, none of us will stand to gain anything."

"Who cares? Do you think I'd care about your authority?" At this moment, Y/N was even more arrogant than Ye Minran.

Ye Minran was enraged. Clenching her fists tightly, she said, "Y/N, my husband knows some top-tier families of Seoul. They're different from people of the village we come from."

At this point, Ye Minran chuckled in contempt. "You should know that the rich have never liked actresses."

"So?" Y/N shrugged her shoulders. "It's none of your business."

Taehyung didn't even say that he doesn't like me, since when is it Ye Minran's turn?

"Y/N, I'll warn you again. Don't go overboard. Do you believe that all it takes is a call made by my husband to get you kicked out of the entertainment industry!?!"

Who doesn't know how to threaten others?

Y/N rolled her eyes. "Do you believe that before you have a chance to find your husband, I will make sure you can't survive in this city?"

"You!"

Ye Minran gritted her teeth, her face as pale as a sheet.

The surrounding people didn't dare to make a single sound because the both of them were now the ones with the best career among them.

"Minran, how's it going?"

The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, several men in suits walked in.

Hearing those words, Ye Minran's eyes lit up and she immediately forced herself to cry. She said pitifully, "Hubby, I got bullied!"

Everyone looked over in unison.

The man whose arm Ye Minran was holding was rather tall and well-dressed. However, his looks were only average. Lily and the others were just being too exaggerated.

Hearing this, Ye Minran's husband asked with a sullen expression, "Who bullied you? Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson for you."

Ye Minran continued aggrievedly, "But she's a superstar who has many fans. What if she takes this to the Internet and shames us online? Forget it."

"So what if she's a superstar? I have many ways to get her boycotted." After saying that, Ye Minran's husband turned around to look at the person behind him with a deferential expression. "Mr. Jeon, sorry to have embarrassed ourselves.. This is my wife, Ye Minran. Mr. Jeon, you should have some connections with people in the entertainment industry, this industry is quite complicated now, well..."

Leaning against the frame of the door languidly with both hands in the pocket of his jacket. "Since you're keen on cooperating with me, I can do you the favor. Tell me, which female celebrity bullied you?"

Only then did Ye Minran notice Jungkook. When she looked at his face, her eyes lit up.

'What a handsome and refined man!'

She immediately started behaving like a gentle and vulnerable young girl as she said softly, "Wang Xiao, who's this..."

Ye Minran's husband was named Wang Xiao. She would usually call him 'Hubby' affectionately in front of others, wishing that the entire world would know that she had married a wealthy man but now that Jungkook was right in front of her, she subconsciously felt attracted to him.

'How wonderful would it be if this man is my husband? His clothes are obviously expensive and he must be a wealthy man too."

Wang Xiao merely thought that Ye Minran was too shy to call him 'Hubby' in front of everyone else. He said, "This is Mr. Jeon Jungkook, CEO of Jeon Corporation. After we move our business back to this city, we'll need Mr. Jeon's help."

Although Ye Minran didn't know much about the world of business, she knew quite a bit about the Jeon Corporation.

After all, Wang Xiao's family was considered affluent and she had heard of the few top wealthiest families of the city.

There was a hierarchy of families too and the ones at the top were the four major families, including the Jeon family.

Wang Xiao's family could never hold a candle to them!

Ye Minran was even more agitated. Although she wanted to get to know the legendary Kim family too, the Jeon family was not too bad.

However, she had heard that Jungkook, the CEO of Jeon Corporation used to be a rogue and was very hot-tempered. He would hit even women as long as they angered him.

On second thought, she wondered, 'Y/N is so hot-tempered now and refuses to let others take advantage of her. If she offends Mr. Jeon, wouldn't...'

A glint of light appeared in Ye Minran's eyes and she straightened her back slightly with a warm and presentable smile. "Hello, Mr. Jeon, I'm Ye Minran. I've always heard about you but I didn't expect to be able to see you here. Actually, it's not a big deal either, it's just a classmates' reunion."

"You were kind enough to host a reunion with your classmates but someone bullied you. Who is that actress? Now that Mr. Jeon is here, let's see if she dares to be arrogant," Wang Xiao said haughtily with a frown.

As they always say, husband and wife are one. Bullying Ye Minran was akin to bullying him. Now that Ye Minran's classmates and Jungkook were all present, how could he not be embarrassed?

Ye Minran tugged Wang Xiao's sleeve and bit her lip. "It's really nothing. She's just straightforward. Mr. Jeon, sorry to have embarrassed you."

Their former classmates were either standing or sitting down and were all looking at the three people at the door.

Everyone knew about the Jeon Corporation and none of them expected that Ye Minran's husband would know Jungkook too.

In comparison, Y/N indeed seemed to be way inferior.

So what if she was a celebrity now? Even if she was the Best Actress titleholder, Jungkook could easily get her canceled.

"Mr. Jeon, thank you so much for your kind intentions. We're all classmates, there's no need for our relationship to become so tense. That actress is indeed quite famous now and she has many fans too. What if we end up getting scolded by her fans?"

Jungkook was getting a little impatient. "Are you going to tell me or not? Don't force me to get physical."

Ye Minran got a great fright from his sudden hollering. She hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, she is there, thank you, Mr. Jeon."

As she spoke, Ye Minran quickly pointed to the direction where Y/N was sitting.

The people at the table immediately dispersed.. Seeing that Y/N was still enjoying her food seriously, Ye Minran humphed, thinking to herself that it was seriously over for Y/N today, given her attitude towards Jungkook.

She was waiting for Y/N to plead with her.

Jungkook originally thought that it was just a simple favor, but when he saw Y/N, his expression immediately became peculiar.

'Y/N?'

Everyone thought that Y/N was in deep trouble this time.

They even thought that she had been frightened out of her wits and was just pretending to be composed now.

After swallowing the pork rib in her mouth, Y/N wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin that she picked up. She then said slowly, "What a coincidence, Mr. Jeon, are you here for a free meal too?"

Ye Minran felt more and more that Y/N was crazy.

'How dare she ask Mr. Jeon if he's here for a free meal? Does she know who Mr. Jeon is? Why would he need a free meal!?!'

However, Jungkook really answered her, "Miss Y/N, even you're here, of course I have to be here too."

As he spoke, he ignored the astonished gazes of the people around him and walked towards Y/N.

Resting his chin in one hand, he turned his head slightly to the side to stare at Y/N while she ate.

She was enjoying herself so much that even he got hungry just by staring at her.

"Mr. Jeon, how do you plan to teach me a lesson?" Y/N asked.

Jungkook pretended to be puzzled. "Why should I teach you a lesson?"

"Didn't you promise Ye Minran that you'd teach the person who bullied her a lesson? Not only did I bully her, I also slapped her minion."

Ye Minran didn't expect Jungkook and Y/N to know each other and was a bit surprised to hear their conversation.

Hearing Y/N's words, she began looking forward to it.

'Since Mr. Jeon has already agreed to help me teach Y/N a lesson, a person of a powerful status like him definitely won't go back on his word for a mere actress."

"Mr. Jeon..." she called out coquettishly.

However, Jungkook completely ignored Ye Minran. "Why should I help an irrelevant woman teach you a lesson, Miss Y/N? Since I'm courting you now, I can't wait to pamper you, let alone hurt you."

'Courting Y/N? The CEO of Jeon Corporation is courting Y/N!'

Everyone was astonished.

Tzuyu had a gossipy gaze in her eyes. She discovered that she had become more and more interested in gossip after being an entertainment news reporter for a short period of time!

'Y/N...'

'Oh damn!'

Ye Minran's eyes widened greatly as she stared at them in disbelief.

'How could that be?'

'How can Jungkook be wooing Y/N!?! Y/N is just an actress, how is she fit to marry into a top family like theirs?'

Seeing this, Ye Minran's husband, Wang Xiao, looked at her nervously. "Minran, what's the matter? Why does Mr. Jeon know your classmate?"

Ye Minran answered with a look of disgruntlement, "How would I know?"

'Y/N does have some tricks up her sleeve. She actually managed to seduce Mr. Jeon too.'

The classmates' reunion became awkward because of Jungkook's arrival.

Many people tried to chat with Jungkook and suck up to him but all his attention was fixed on Y/N. He was totally ignoring everyone else.

"Mr. Jeon, that woman bullied me." Y/N pointed at Ye Minran and continued, "She also bullied my woman."

Jungkook pursed his lips and asked, "Your woman?"

Y/N put her hand on Tzuyu's shoulder and said, "She is my woman."

Tzuyu couldn't help but cough. 'Y/N, don't...don't be such a flirt, okay?'

Jungkook immediately cast a gloomy gaze on Ye Minran.

Ye Minran shivered and just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly pushed away by a great force..

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of her in a flash and soon stood beside Y/N.

"Little pepper I rushed here as soon as I heard that you are here too!"

Jimin was dressed in a formal suit and seemed to be there for the gathering too.

At this moment, he looked at Y/N with his peach-blossom-shaped eyes and exclaimed, "It's been a long time since we last met and you've lost so much weight, Little pepper. You've also become much more tanned but I can nourish you again!"

Y/N rolled her eyes.

'What is this vain pot doing here?'

Jimin was the most influential star in the entertainment industry and the Best Actor titleholder so everyone recognized him as soon as he appeared.

The women were all about to scream with agitation.

They didn't expect to meet the CEO of Jeon Corporation and their idol at what they thought would just be a simple classmates' reunion.

'Idol Jimin seems to be very close to Y/N. If we build a good relationship with Y/N, does it mean that we can get closer to Jimin?'

Y/N ignored their desperate gazes and glanced at Jimin in disdain, "Why are you here?"

Jimin winked at Y/N and said, "To attend a luncheon but I ditched them when I heard you were here."

As he spoke, he looked at Jungkook warily. "What are you doing here? Trying to steal Little pepper from me?"

Jungkook looked at Jimin as if he were an idiot and said, "No need for that, you've already lost."

At least he knew who his real rival was but the foolish Jimin didn't even know that Y/N was married.

He suddenly felt that it was a good thing he was the CEO of Jeon Corporation. At the very least, he was well-informed.

Ye Minran lost her composure. She was clearly the host.

'How did Y/N manage to hook up with Jungkook and now Jimin?'

'Hmph, I was right. The first time I saw Y/N, I knew she was a seductress.'

"Honey, Mr. Jeon can't possibly give up business for a woman. Look at how arrogant that woman is, you must help me take revenge!"

Ye Minran grabbed Wang Xiao's arm and swung it coquettishly.

Wang Xiao patted her arm and said hesitantly, "The woman seems to be very familiar with Mr. Jeon and Jimin, so we'll wait and see."

'Wait and see? Your wife is getting bullied and you want to observe further?'

For the first time, Ye Minran felt that she had married the wrong man.

"Little pepper, what's the fun of a classmates' reunion? There are so many people watching you eat, let's go, I'll treat you to a meal in the private room next door with just us two!"

Jungkook immediately gibed, "Best Actor Park, you just like Miss Y/N for her beauty. She wants a man who likes her for her personality and soul, and you've already failed to meet the criteria."

Jimin and Jungkook were at odds against each other to begin with. Hearing Jungkook's words, Jimin flew into a rage. "Damned hooligan, what do you mean? Am I such a superficial person? I don't want anyone but Little pepper. Little pepper and I met way before you met her, get lost."

Y/N's former high school classmates thought, 'We're here to attend the class reunion, not to see two men vying over a woman!'

"Shut up, if you continue clamoring, get lost. I'm here to collect a debt."

Jungkook touched his nose and thought, 'This woman is really feisty. I'm starting to like her more and more.'

Jimin leaned closer to Y/N and exclaimed, "Little pepper, did you get bullied? Who are you going to collect debts from? Tell me and I'll help you get back at him or her!"

Y/N shifted her cold and indifferent gaze onto Ye Minran and Jimin looked over too.

"You mean that ugly woman?"

'Ugly woman? Is Jimin calling me ugly?'

Ye Minran was stunned.

"I..."

"You what? So it's you who bullied Little pepper, huh? Hurry up and come here to apologize to Little pepper!" Jimin commanded aggressively..

"Hubby..."

Wang Xiao knew how high Jimin's status in the entertainment industry but he was a businessman after all. In his opinion, Jimin couldn't compare to someone like Jungkook regardless of how famous he may be.

Thus, he said arrogantly, "Mr. Park, you're in no place to intervene in the private matters between my wife and her high school classmate. You're working in the entertainment industry, you don't have any dealings with us businessmen."

Seeing Wang Xiao's response, Ye Minran immediately felt much more confident. 'That's right, so what if he's the Best Actor? My husband owns a company!'

The others were all watching intently and enjoying the drama.

They were also curious about whether Ye Minran or Y/N will win in the end.

'Y/N is at most a woman that Jungkook is temporarily interested in, but Ye Minran is different.'

'She is really married to a rich man!'

Although Jimin was an illegitimate son, he was still born with a golden spoon in his mouth after all. He suddenly slammed his hand against the table and asked, "Why? Do you want to boycott me?"

"Mr. Park, I, Wang Xiao, am at least..."

"Shut up, who are you to boycott him when I haven't even said anything?" Jungkook suddenly said.

Wang Xiao shuddered and really didn't dare to speak anymore.

Y/N looked at Jimin and Jungkook a few times and suddenly felt that they were quite compatible with each other, especially when Jungkook interjected to defend Jimin.

'Wow, is this what it means to ship a couple? No, no, Jungkook belongs with Doggy Taehyung. They're the most compatible with each other.'

"Mr. Kim, Mrs. Kim is inside."

Suddenly, a voice came from the front door which then opened and immediately afterwards, the door that was left slightly ajar, was pushed open again. Taehyung's flawless face immediately appeared in front of everyone.

He was wearing a thin gray sweater today, and his short black hair looked a little messy. He was particularly eye-catching.

"So you're here too, Mr. Jeon." Taehyung discovered Jungkook's presence almost immediately.

He had a cold and sullen expression and he looked particularly reserved.

Jungkook humphed coldly. "What a coincidence, Mr. Kim."

'Mr. Kim?'

Everyone turned to look at Taehyung in unison.

'Is this the legendary hegemon of the business world? Damn, are pigs going to fly today? Or are we dreaming?'

They actually met three legendary figures on the same day.

The CEO of Kim Group, in particular, was not someone that any Tom, Dick, and Harry can meet!

Wang Xiao was really agitated.

No matter how impressive Jungkook was, he was born to a family of rogues after all, but Taehyung was different. He was a bona fide legend of the business world and the idol of almost all businessmen!

"Mr. Kim... I'm Wang Xiao, I've heard so much about you and I never thought I'd get to meet you in person one day!"

Wang Xiao walked up to Taehyung and said deferentially.

Taehyung glanced at him coldly. "Do you have a problem?"

As expected, he wasn't friendly and was rather hard to get along with. Even from a meter away, they could sense his domineering aura.

Wang Xiao couldn't help but shudder a little. "Well, uh... my wife is hosting a gathering with her former high school classmates here. Since you're here, Mr. Kim, why don't we have a meal together? Fee; free to order anything as you please."

Regardless of the bizarre atmosphere, the fact that he was able to have a meal with Taehyung and Jungkook would definitely bring him a lot of clout in the industry.

Who knows? Some investors might take the initiative to give him an offer.

Tzuyu had been seated on Y/N's right and thinking to herself that there was about to be an exciting show to watch today but she suddenly felt a sharp and oppressive gaze being cast on her all of a sudden.

She couldn't help but shudder and raise her head slowly, only to meet Taehyung's icy cold gaze.

"Ahem..." After taking a look at Y/N and realizing that Jungkook was seated on her other side, Tzuyu finally realized what was going on and quickly stood up. "Mr. Kim, please have a seat!"

Taehyung unceremoniously walked to Tzuyu's seat and sat down, after which he moved his chair closer to Y/N too.

Wang Xiao and Ye Minran looked at each other and sat down opposite Taehyung. "Mr. Kim, you...."

Taehyung continued to ignore them and asked Assistant Wen to bring him a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

Y/N began to command, "That dish is nice, I haven't eaten enough."

Jungkook and Jimin picked up their chopsticks in unison and just as they were about to reach the dish, a hand suddenly reached out and took the dish away with.

Taehyung took away the empty plate in front of Y/N and placed the dish in front of her. He asked, "What else do you want to eat?"

'Why is Mr. Kim being nice to Y/N too? Is he wooing her?'

Ye Minran was even more jealous and she wished she was the one sitting between Jungkook and Taehyung at the moment.

She forced herself to smile and gibed, "I didn't expect Y/N to be so popular with men. She has an ambiguous relationship with Mr. Jeon, Jimin, and also... with Mr. Kim."

She deliberately paused at this juncture without continuing.

She initially thought that Taehyung would definitely think that Y/N was promiscuous and that she had toyed with him but Taehyung simply ignored her.

Y/N frowned and glowered at Ye Minran. "You're so annoying, have you had enough?"

After saying that, she pointed at the crab in front of Ye Minran and said, "I want to eat that one."

This time, Jungkook and Taehyung did not move, but Jimin quickly stood up to bring the hairy crab to Y/N. He even moved away the dish that Taehyung placed in front of Y/N and said, "Little pepper, you're really cute when you eat!"

He then looked at Jungkook and Taehyung smugly.

However, Jimin knew who Taehyung was and even admired him a little.

'How is Little pepper so amazing that even Taehyung has become my rival in love?'

Having failed to bring a dish for Y/N, Jungkook glared at Jimin viciously before turning to look at Y/N smilingly. "I've had the crab served in this hotel quite a few times before. Miss Y/N, give it a try. If you like it, I'll have them deliver a serving to you everyday from now onwards."

At this moment, Y/N was just like a queen, remaining seated and surrounded by dashing men.

Ye Minran was about to lose her mind because she was so overwhelmed with jealousy. 'What right does Y/N have to deserve that treatment!?!'

Lily couldn't help but inch closer to her. "Minran, look at that vixen. What's there to be conceited about? She's nothing but a pretty face but I think you're much more beautiful than her."

Ye Minran still looked as disgruntled as ever and she kept comforting herself by telling herself that Y/N was just good at seducing men.

'Look, Mr. Kim is not doing anything. He must have seen through her true colors.'

As soon as she thought about that, Taehyung put on a pair of disposable gloves and began to slowly peel away the shell of some prawns for Y/N.

Everyone watched as he placed the peeled prawns in Y/N's bowl, after which Y/N began eating them self-righteously.

"My dearest wife, if you like the dishes here, I'll buy this hotel for you."
