Chapter 1527 - 606: Sisters’ Confession Session (Part 2)
Chapter 1527: Chapter 606: Sisters’ Confession Session (Part 2)
After knocking on the door for a long time, Cui Min’er finally peeked through a small crack. Annoyed, Su Yajing said:
"Stop hiding, come out. You can hide for a day, but can you hide for a lifetime?"
Faced with Su Yajing at this moment, Cui Min’er was like a mistress caught red-handed, feeling truly guilty. So after hesitating a bit, she finally came out of the room.
Luckily, it was autumn, so the turtleneck sweater Cui Min’er was wearing didn’t seem out of place. Otherwise, Su Yajing would definitely become suspicious, and if she peeled back Cui Min’er’s neckline, she’d see those dense strawberry marks stretching down to her collarbone...
Once Cui Min’er was out, Su Yajing unhesitatingly took the main seat on the couch and silently watched her three roommates.
Intimidated by Su Yajing’s "Empress" aura, the three girls hesitated but eventually walked over. Yu Duo still clung to her pillow sitting on the floor, while Shen Yutong and Cui Min’er each shrank into a corner, unwilling to face Su Yajing directly.
Su Yajing didn’t mind and first looked at Yu Duo, "I have a rough idea about them. And you... Duoduo, I want to know what step you’ve reached with Zhou Wang?"
Upon hearing Su Yajing ask Yu Duo this, Cui Min’er and Shen Yutong were first stunned, then widened their eyes in surprise at Yu Duo.
What the hell!
Could it be that Zhou Wang and Yu Duo also...
You can’t blame Cui Min’er and Shen Yutong for being slow.
Who the heck could have imagined this?
Although Yu Duo has always been the type who has trouble hiding her thoughts, the problem is, since summer vacation ended, the four girls each had their own journeys. Yu Duo’s family went through a series of changes, and they actually hadn’t gathered together for a long time.
After this reunion, Cui Min’er found only traces suggesting that Shen Yutong’s relationship with Zhou Wang seemed unusual, but she never thought Yu Duo would get involved too.
Moreover, Yu Duo’s family situation differs from the other three’s, and without facing bankruptcy, Yu Duo is the kind of girl who doesn’t need to rely on a man for survival, so Zhou Wang’s "wealth" — his biggest asset — shouldn’t hold much appeal for her...
Of course, they weren’t aware of Yu Duo’s later interactions with Zhou Wang, which makes such a thought understandable.
Shen Yutong was even more bewildered than Cui Min’er.
Anyway, before tonight, the only one she felt guilty towards was Su Yajing. This morning, Cui Min’er stunned her, and now learning Yu Duo also fell victim to Zhou Wang’s "poison," Shen Yutong felt her world turn upside down.
Faced with the complex gaze from the three girls, Yu Duo’s face flushed red in an instant, and her feet wrapped in little boat socks curled up tightly, desperately wishing she could find a crack to crawl into.
Isn’t this supposed to be about dealing with Cui Min’er?
Why did it suddenly shift to her?
Yu Duo, who always thought she had hidden things well, was instantly overwhelmed with panic.
"Uh, I, I and that jerk, nothing... nothing much..."
"Are you sure?"
If she had only suspected before, seeing Yu Duo’s reaction, Su Yajing was now certain.
It truly was a complete roundup...
Holding a sliver of hope previously, Su Yajing chuckled bitterly inside.
"Duoduo, today is a candid session among us sisters. I’m not here to blame you for anything. Quite the opposite, I’m trying to minimize any impact this might have on our relationships. Additionally, whether you believe it or not, I’m also thinking of your wellbeing."
Su Yajing spoke with unprecedented sincerity, "Zhou Wang’s situation might be more... hmm, complicated than you think. Although he won’t intentionally harm you, you need to learn to look out for yourselves."
Hearing Su Yajing say this, Yu Duo pondered for a moment and then sheepishly replied:
"Maybe, maybe there’s a little something between us..."
"How much is ’a little,’ and what step have you reached?"
Su Yajing was clearly dissatisfied with her vagueness.
"Just... just some kissing and hugging..."
Yu Duo lowered her head, speaking as if her voice were as tiny as a mosquito’s.
"You haven’t slept with him?"
At this point, Cui Min’er couldn’t help but ask.
"Ah, what are you talking about? Of course not!"
Yu Duo quickly shook her head, but internally added a remark, thinking that merely eating lollipops shouldn’t really count as that, right?
"Oh, got it."
Cui Min’er showed a hint of relief in her expression.
Her facial expression did not escape Su Yajing’s notice, who almost rolled her eyes.
Why are you happy... Happy you’re not the last?
Come on, is this really something to be glad about?
Learning that Yu Duo hadn’t officially become Zhou Wang’s woman yet, Su Yajing contemplated and then asked, "Duoduo, Even knowing Zhou Wang is such a playboy, would you still choose to be with him?"
This question, if asked two months ago, would probably have left Yu Duo confused. But after the time spent in Magic City, despite her shyness, she nodded without any hesitation:
"Yes..."
Her voice was small, but Su Yajing understood, indeed it was a very firm expression.
Su Yajing stopped probing further and redirected her attention to Shen Yutong, "I suppose I don’t need to ask you, Tongtong. Given your nature, since you’ve given yourself to him, it seems you’ve decided on him, right?"
With Yu Duo setting an example, Shen Yutong realized struggling was pointless, so she merely blushed and nodded.
Now it was Yu Duo’s turn to widen her eyes.
Wait... What does this mean?
What do you mean "Sister Tongtong gave herself to him"?
She wasn’t even clear about Zhou Wang and Shen Yutong’s relationship, let alone involving such explosive details...
"Alright, so... you all hid this from me. Sister Min’er aside, how could Sister Tongtong be so dishonest too?"
Yu Duo was somewhat exasperated.
By this rationale, it seemed she not only ranked behind Su Yajing but now even Cui Min’er and Shen Yutong overtook her, making her the "mistress," no, more like the "fifth wheel"...
Shen Yutong was extremely embarrassed and could only awkwardly explain, "I, I haven’t gotten around to telling you guys, it wasn’t my intention to hide it..."
"Alright, now’s not the time to dwell on this."
Su Yajing intervened to stop Yu Duo from rushing over to tease Shen Yutong, taking a deep breath and scanning the three girls:
"The crucial thing now is... what to do next?"
...
In the study, Zhou Wang held a cigarette, lost in thought.
He had just finished a call with Jiang Qingkui. Combined with browsing foreign websites, Zhou Wang had essentially pieced together the entire situation.
He didn’t expect to be secretly photographed by a staff member in action, capturing all his indecent gestures.
The bad news is that, under the current circumstances, it is nearly impossible to control the discourse. Even within the country, BlackPink has an enormous fan base. As Xu Wenqian mentioned, it won’t take long for the incident to hit the domestic trending boards.
The good news is that his face wasn’t caught on camera, which suggests maneuverability.
But Zhou Wang was also agitated about another matter.
Although he had initially acted impulsively, BlackPink’s official statement exaggeratedly vilified him, distancing themselves completely, as if they were victims.
They didn’t mention their stage slacking or skipping fan meetings, any of those prior issues.
Even though Zhou Wang’s state was not up to par at the time, if not for being repeatedly annoyed by their dismissive attitude, he wouldn’t have felt the need to "teach them a lesson."
Since BlackPink issued their official statement, the discourse has been overwhelmingly one-sided, with everyone condemning him.
At this rate, his true identity being uncovered is only a matter of time.
With BlackPink’s massive fan base, it would result in a significant PR crisis for Zhou Wang, potentially leading to numerous unforeseeable consequences.
Understanding the gravity of the scandal, Jiang Qingkui also set aside her anger with Zhou Wang, convening a meeting with the corporate PR department. But Zhou Wang doubted they could come up with any effective countermeasures.
After all, BlackPink are artists from Korea, and Zhou Wang’s domestic influence theoretically won’t affect them.
Currently, Zhou Wang’s businesses almost have no interactions with them.
Moreover, Zhou Wang just learned from BlackPink’s latest updates that they had already returned home overnight, aiming to prevent Zhou Wang from utilizing local powers against them.
So, how should this be resolved?
Zhou Wang pondered and then turned his gaze towards the system’s warehouse.
It seems... the only option is to cheat.
