Hearing Jimin mention about eight years ago, Lisa remembered the reason why he registered for Yu Hua then. Lisa's ex-girlfriend was a singer, he founded Yu Hua with the intention of creating a clean musical empire for his ex-girlfriend.

However, before Yu Hua could even serve its purpose, Lisa was kicked aside by his ex-girlfriend, so the company was left in the lurch.

Jimin asked Lisa, "Mr. Manoban, what instructions do you have?" Jennie was secretly flirting with Lisa, causing him to feel a slight itch in his chest. He told Jimin, "Find a capable person to take over Yu Hua. This company can't continue to be idle. Oh yes, the M.A.I. Group is about to disband. Get someone to poach Jungkook from their team. This person has good musical talent and is a promising talent. He must be heavily supported."

Although Jimin was shocked, he had always been supportive of Lisa's decision. "Alright, I will do as you say." Who would have thought that just because of a few words from Lisa, a musical empire would rise up?

Lisa hung up and received a sweet kiss from Jennie. "Brother Lili, you're so handsome!" Jennie gave Lisa a big thumbs-up.

Lisa felt very guilty, as he didn't dare to tell Jennie that he started this company because of his ex-girlfriend.

...

Jennie was accompanying Irene at Seulgi's house, when she received a message from Jungkook. In the message, Jungkook informed Jennie that he had terminated his contract with his original management company, and had successfully signed a contract with Yu Hua.

After reading the message, Jennie made a call and asked Jungkook, "Who is your manager?"

Jungkook said excitedly, "It's the company's director. She's called Zhu Wen. Do you know her, goddess?"

How can I not know her?

Zhu Wen was known as Demon King Zhu. She had a vicious tongue and a sharp eye.

At the age of 22, Zhu Wen had stepped into this circle. She had climbed up step by step and eventually became the CEO of Yu Hua Company. But what impressed people the most was not her status as CEO of Yu Hua, but something else.

After 14 years of hiding in the entertainment circles, she had secretly collected a "list of 136 big bosses in the entertainment circles with criminal records and evidence". At the age of 36, she had reported everyone involved.

During that time, the entertainment circle experienced an earthquake and tsunami. Countless big shots and famous people were jailed, and Zhu Wen became a name every household knew.

On the day the big bosses were sentenced to prison, Zhu Wen stood in front of the camera and said one sentence: Mother, I have avenged you.

Later on, someone dug deeper and found out that Zhu Wen's mother was actually the famous and beautiful actress, queen of the late nineties, Tang Sa.

Before Tang Sa debuted, she was married and had a daughter with her husband. Unfortunately, her good luck didn't last. Three years after their marriage, her husband fell ill and passed away early. As a result, Tang Sa had to borrow some money from loan sharks to treat his husband and raise her daughter. Tang Sa was even introduced to acting.

With her stunning beauty, Tang Sa quickly made a name for herself. But her fame also came with dirty deals. Beauty was a double-edged sword. When you were domineering enough, your beauty was an added bonus. If you had no power or influence, your beauty would bring you fatal danger.

She was the most beautiful actress in her generation, but her body was nowhere to be found. Many people felt pity for her back then.

But even after her death, the murderer was still at large. In order to find out the truth behind her mother's death and to completely change this sick entertainment industry, Zhu Wen had done many things that people wanted to do but failed to do so.

However, because she was too ruthless back then, she was ostracized. In order not to implicate the company, she resigned from her position as Yu Hua's CEO.

After leaving the entertainment industry, Zhu Wen chose to live incognito. Even after Jennie died, she never came out again.

Knowing that Zhu Wen was going to personally take care of Jungkook, Jennie warned him. "Zhu Wen is very capable. You will be famous if you follow her." Zhu Wen would definitely treat Jungkook well. After all, they were a loving couple in their previous life.

The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up. Jennie bathed Irene and changed her clothes. She felt that it was not convenient to take care of her hair, so she cut it for her.

When Seulgi returned and saw Irene's cut hair, he was enraged.

Seulgi grabbed Irene's short hair and ran down to the first level in a rage. He pulled Jennie, who was about to go home, back and questioned her angrily. "Jennie, are you jealous that Irene is prettier than you, so you purposely cut her hair to vent your anger?"

Jennie was dumbstruck.

A buzzing sound echoed in her head before she snapped out of her trance. "What did you say?" Jennie pushed Seulgi aside and scolded. "Are you saying that Irene is prettier than me?" Jennie's voice was filled with disbelief.

Seulgi said, "Isn't it a fact that she is prettier than you?"

Jennie was so angry that she laughed. "How is Irene better looking than me? All year round, she only likes to wear denim jeans and a hoodie. She doesn't even buy many dresses and doesn't know how to dress herself up at all. How is she better looking than me? Love is truly blind!"

Although he knew that Jennie was speaking the truth, Seulgi just couldn't stand anyone insulting Irene. He opened the door, pointed outside, and said to Jennie expressionlessly, "Please get lost. I don't wish to argue with you."

Jennie kicked the wall and said, "I'll go away then! You're just a coward who doesn't even dare to confess to Irene!"

Jennie left. Their fragile friendship was finally broken.

Seulgi was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He took the hair and returned to his room. Crouching by the bed, Seulgi looked at Irene's pale face and short hair that looked like it had been bitten by a dog. He couldn't resist reaching out to stroke Irene's brows.

"Don't be angry. That little fool Jennie is just jealous of your beauty. She cut her own hair short, so she can't stand seeing your beautiful hair."

Irene had no reaction.

Seulgi's finger gradually moved to Irene's lips.

Under his fingers, Irene's lips were so soft, but Seulgi didn't have any romantic thoughts. Instead, he was filled with pain. "Just now, I quarreled with your beloved sister and you didn't even wake up when she was bullied. Irene, even if you don't want me, don't you want Jennie too?"

Only silence replied to him.

After quarreling with Seulgi, Jennie returned home in a huff. She walked into the living room and realized that something was amiss.

She turned to look at the French window. There was originally nothing by the window. Occasionally, Jennie would bring a cup of coffee to sit cross-legged on a cushion under the window. She would drink her coffee while looking at the bustling city scenery outside.

But today, there were many things in that spacious corner. A sapphire blue grand piano, a brand-new violin, a brand-new computer, and a voice recorder.

Jennie looked up at the loft in shock. The lights were on in the master bedroom upstairs and Jennie could hear the sound of water.

Lisa was showering.

Jennie's heartbeat quickened slightly. She walked step by step towards those instruments and found two words on the sapphire blue piano cover:

Baby Nini.
