MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 48

At the moment, Lisa felt chills all over as she became one of the most hated people in existence.

In fact, there were netizens who dug out her Weibo account which she had abandoned centuries ago, leaving appalling comments on it.

In turn, Jungkook became labeled an innocent. Fans of his sizzling looks all claimed that it must have been Lisa who led him astray, that Jungkook's hands were clean regrading the matter.

There really was no winning with those people.

After a while of tossing and turning, Soobin fell asleep.

While Lisa put a blanket over the little one, Jisoo quietly snarled. "Lili, do you really not care? You have no idea how badly you're cursed! Damn it, it must be Tzuyu's group pulling strings....Argh, I want to bust her head up so much, and have her brains splatter"

Lisa, however, remained indifferent. "So what if I care? In the minds of every netizen, I'm now the other woman. Everyone would claim that I'm riding the wave even if I tried to argue my case"

Nonetheless, Lisa was absolutely positive that Tzuyu was behind it all. When she was buried beneath all that dirt, Tzuyu would suddenly stand up for her with some nice words, enforcing her naive and kind temperament, winning even more points from her flowers.

It was a really good play.

"Boss, Your douche image had actually been washed clean...." Bang Chan said.

He was keeping up behind Jungkook as they left the conference room, his entire face full of disbelief.

Nonetheless, Jungkook never cared about what others thought about him, Just as he never involved himself with the wretched business that is the entertainment industry.

Bang Chan closed the gap with him. "Boss. Miss Lisa is being so hated....Are you really not helping?"

"Why should I?" Jungkook frowned.

Bang Chan was initially disappointed when he thought that his boss would not be saving Lisa, but that was when Jungkook added, "Go inform Tzuyu's management company now: they can stay alive just a little longer if they give up now"

In the beginning, Tzuyu had been a two-bit actress who was virtually offered no contracts.

However, after she managed to capture Old Madam Jeon's heart, Jungkook's grandmother tool pity on her and got Jungkook to support her, allowing her to rise as a top star.

She had relied upon Jungkook and gained an easily life in the industry ever since, with everyone else perfectly aware of their relationship.

Even if the entertainment industry was a pool where both honest and sinister characters dwell, Jungkook's sheer power as a businessman meant that he was a force to be reckoned with. He alone could determine anyone's career including Tzuyu's.

At first, he did not bother with her for Old Madam Jeon's sake.

But now, after she had involved Lisa? Would he still sit by idly by?

Bang Chan beamed at once. "Alright! I'll go right now!"

"Hold on" Jungkook stopped him "Call up Tzuyu as well, tell her I want to see her"

****

Tzuyu was at first stunned when she learned that Jungkook wanted to see her, before bursting in euphoric thrill.

Was he regretting canceling their engagement?

Without hesitation, she got on her minivan and rushed towards KBS Tower.

After getting inside, she rushed to the toilet, plucked off her face mask and cap to fix her makeup.

Then, as she admired her beautiful self in front of the mirror, the sound of a flushing toilet echoed.

Lisa then emerged from one of the cubicles.

Their eyes met: a pair was cold, another was conceited.

"Yo. And I was thinking who it would be....sis"

With no one around them, Tzuyu didn't bother to keep up her positive image. Learning beside the wash basin and folding her arms, her eyes were full of belittling. "Sis, how does it feel? Are you surprised by my little present?"

Lisa remained calm in fact, she was smiling. "Dear Little sister, I'm really happy to receive your gift. Should I give you another as well?"

Tzuyu pondered. What 'present' could she give her aside from hooking up with Jungkook? No that there was anything much to that either.

Later, when she meets Jungkook, she would just have to up a miserable face and mention Old Madam Jeon. He was definitely resuming the wedding after she plays the sentiment card.

Would he have not called her here if that was not his intention?

That being said, Lisa was a head taller and exuded an imposing air. With her cold, elegant appearance, she assuredly appeared more fearsome.

Striding a few step ahead, she arrested both of Tzuyu's hand with one hand, while lifting her other hand high above and swung it down viciously.

There was an audible slap, quick and aimed true.

Tzuyu's face flew sideways, a palm mark instantly left on her white face.

Her ears were ringing and she saw red.

"Lisa, you"

Lisa did not even give her the chance to talk. She slapped her other cheek.

After all, there is dissatisfaction if one did not get both cheeks.

Tzuyu felt the world spinning around her as his eyes blurred, and was left staggered.

On the other hand, Lisa was shrugging innocently. "You can't blame me for that, Tzuyu. You have to blame your hipster fans who hit me"

Tzuyu was holding her face and quivering in rage. She glared at Lisa in fearsome hatred like a provoked, rabid dog that was ready to prance and sink its teeth into its target.

Lisa tutted. "My apologies. My hand does not really listen to me, but it does love to beat up uglies. That said, Tzuyu, why do your fans like to bury people's families? Really, the idol maketh the fans....You really have no standard.
