Chapter 32 I'll help you make up for your regrets, but Chen Ran...
"Chen Ran and I met in bed some time ago."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kim Tae-yeon's expression froze.
The same was true for Yoona next to her; her mouth opened slightly involuntarily, forming an "O" shape, clearly quite shocked by those words.
She never expected the "truth" to be like this.
Meeting in bed means that Jessica and Chen Ran slept together.
If that's the case, then Jessica's unusual behavior before makes sense.
After all, this skips the friendship stage and establishes a more direct and intimate relationship.
Suddenly, she thought of something and secretly glanced at Kim Tae-yeon on her left.
Taeyeon unnie likes Chen Ran, so wouldn't that mean...?
Beside her, Kim Tae-yeon also realized what was happening and stared at Jessica with wide eyes.
"You...you and Xiaoran..."
Her mind was already involuntarily conjuring up images that Qidian (a Chinese online writing platform) didn't allow her to write.
Jessica and Xiaoran actually have that kind of relationship.
Seeing this, Jessica knew that the two had clearly misunderstood what she had said.
But it doesn't matter, let it be a misunderstanding. Anyway, Chen Ran from 25 years ago has passed away, and they have no way of verifying it.
She was even strangely pleased to be misunderstood like that.
Besides, she was telling the truth; she wasn't just making things up.
She and Chen Ran did indeed meet in bed.
When she opened her eyes that morning, Chen Ran was already lying next to her.
Jessica looked at Kim Tae-yeon, her tone carrying a strange hint of victory:
"I've already explained how Chen Ran and I met. Do you have any other questions? Do you want to know the specific time and place?"
Kim Tae-yeon gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her lips pressed together.
Who would know when or where you two had sex?
Seeing her like this, Jessica couldn't help but smile slightly.
I never expected that my words would have such an effect.
Hmph, I'll make you so angry, you little gold digger.
The living room fell silent again.
Sitting in the middle, Lim Yoona noticed the atmosphere gradually freezing again and was just about to speak to ease the tension.
Kim Tae-yeon spoke first: "So you want to know the specifics of Xiao Ran's death because you liked him?"
Jessica was taken aback, then her expression quickly turned serious: "The person is already dead. What's the point of talking about liking or disliking them now?"
It seems this woman has deep feelings for Chen Ran, as she's still concerned about whether she likes him or not.
If you like it so much, why didn't you do it sooner? You've made yourself have another regret.
Kim Tae-yeon's lips trembled a few times, and she lowered her head slightly, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Yes, the person is already dead, so what's the point of caring about this anymore?
It all means nothing now.
Beside her, Lim Yoona noticed Kim Tae-yeon's low spirits and wanted to reach out to comfort her, but she was afraid that doing so would make Kim Tae-yeon hide her emotions again.
Finally, she could only retract her hand, which was halfway outstretched, and looked at Jessica reproachfully.
Jessica met her gaze for two seconds, then slightly turned her head away, avoiding her eyes, and pursed her lips.
I didn't say anything wrong.
After a long pause, Kim Tae-yeon's deep voice rang out again: "You want to know the specifics of Xiao Ran's death? I'll tell you."
She then recounted the entire story of Chen Ran's death, including the time, place, perpetrator, vehicle color, and license plate number.
Upon learning of Chen Ran's car accident, Kim Tae-yeon rushed to the hospital immediately and has been following the police investigation closely.
Jessica jotted down the information in her notes and then put down her phone.
She glanced at Kim Tae-yeon, who was still hanging her head, picked up her bag, and stood up: "I'm leaving now."
As she stood up, she gave Yoona a look, signaling her to take good care of Tae-yeon.
Lim Yoona nodded slightly to indicate that she had received the message.
Jessica walked towards the front door, but when she reached the entrance, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Kim Tae-yeon on the sofa.
"Kim Tae-yeon, if you had another chance, would you and Chen Ran have a different ending?"
Kim Tae-yeon slowly raised her head, her eyes slightly red and moist.
She stared at Jessica for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled sadly:
"Like you just said, the person is dead, so what's the point of saying all this?"
Jessica's pupils trembled slightly, her hand holding the bag tightened instinctively, and she turned and left without a word.
"click"
The door slammed shut.
Only Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah remained in the room.
"Unnie," Yoona called softly.
"Yoona, I've always been a coward, haven't I?"
Im Yoona quickly shook her head, moved closer to Kim Tae-yeon, and gently hugged her.
"No, unnie, you just want to take care of everyone too much."
"Waaah~"
Kim Tae-yeon's sobs echoed in my arms.
Yoona didn't say anything more, but just hugged her gently and patted her back from time to time to let her know that she was there.
Actually, she felt that Jessica's visit today was a good thing, at least Kim Tae-yeon could vent some of the emotions she had been holding in.
"bite"
The elevator doors slowly opened on the basement level, and Jessica stepped out and returned to her car.
They got into the car, but didn't start it and leave immediately.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at the elevator entrance not far away.
After a long while, a long sigh was heard from inside the car.
Jessica knew that coming today would upset Kim Tae-yeon, but she had no choice but to come.
During the conversation just now, she also lost her temper, which further aggravated the situation.
She actually felt a bit disappointed in him.
If you like someone, why not say it? Why keep it hidden until it becomes a lifelong regret?
Looking at the elevator entrance not far away, her two arched eyebrows remained furrowed for a long time.
Everyone has regrets.
But Kim Tae-yeon seems to be an exceptionally large woman.
The deaths of Jonghyun, Sulli, her father, and even her own departure from the group were all regrets for her.
God gave her an exceptionally strong capacity for empathy, but this also caused her to be pushed into the abyss time and time again.
She saw Kim Tae-yeon on the TV in the villa, the spirited girl from 12 years ago, with eyes full of endless starlight.
But today I saw Kim Tae-yeon again, 25 years later, her brilliance gone, covered in scars.
Time can really change a person a lot.
Jessica pursed her lips.
Fortunately, there is now hope.
She can change all of these things.
She could try to save the fathers of Jonghyun, Sulli, and Kim Tae-yeon.
As for Chen Ran...
Jessica bit her lip.
Chen Ran can't come here now; only if she takes Kim Tae-yeon into that villa can Kim Tae-yeon see Chen Ran.
talk later.
It's impossible for her to let Kim Tae-yeon meet Chen Ran prematurely, knowing that Kim Tae-yeon likes Chen Ran.
She said she was determined to beat Kim Tae-yeon at least once.
Jessica picked up her phone, found a number, and dialed it.
After two beeps, the call connected, and a gentle male voice answered:
"Feed".
Jessica's face instantly lit up with a smile: "I'm about to come back. I'll be having lunch at home, so you can start cooking."
"Okay, tell me what you want to eat first. I'm too lazy to make anything complicated."
"Tch~"
Jessica pouted, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of coquettishness: "Then why are you asking me what I want to eat? Just make it yourself!"
Whether or not we do it is another matter, but we still need to ask.
"Hmph, I'm coming back now, I'll be home in about ten minutes."
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the phone, Jessica glanced at the elevator entrance not far away, then started the car and drove out of the underground parking garage.
Kim Tae-yeon, I can help you make up for your regrets.
But Chen Ran...
No.
