Zhou Jing was also confused by the two consecutive phone calls. Only then did he remember that it had been mentioned in Korean entertainment that Taeyeon's family owned an optical shop.
It’s just that Taeyeon’s father’s name in the book is all kinds of different, and some simply refer to it as Daddy Kim, so when Kim Jong-gu introduced himself just now, he didn’t think about it at all.
Good guy, he is also the parent of a SNSD member. Zhou Kyung can count on his fingers which number he is in, but he has already decided to say goodbye to Girls' Generation, so he unconsciously wants to keep a distance from Kim Jong Goo.
Unexpectedly, Jin Zhonggu mistakenly thought that Zhou Jing felt restrained when he saw this. After all, he was an elder, so he stepped forward and patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Zhou Jingxi, you're welcome. Taeyeon often mentions you on the phone. Our whole family is very grateful to you for taking care of our little girl, haha..."
Originally, Kim Jong-gu's words were to eliminate the unfamiliarity between them, but Zhou Jing was said to be lost. He secretly wondered if he had ever taken care of Taeyeon? It seems not.
"Uncle, you are being serious. In fact, I didn't do anything, haha..." Zhou Jing said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Jin Zhonggu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into laughter. This move made Zhou Jing even more confused, because the other person was still looking at him with strange eyes while laughing.
After a while, Jin Jonggu suddenly asked Zhou Jing a strange question, "Zhou Jingxi, you and Taeyeon are very close, right?"
What's going on? Zhou Jing noticed the half-smiling expression on Jin Zhonggu's face and immediately became anxious. In his opinion, the other party must have misunderstood, so he quickly waved his hand and explained:
"Ani, Taeyeon and I have nothing to do with each other. Uncle, you misunderstood."
This time, it was Kim Jong-gu's turn to be confused. The reason why he asked this was because his family had just received good news that Taeyeon was going to Kyung Hee University to study in the Department of Postmodern Music for a year.
Kim Taeyeon also just received the notice that unlike Jessica, she has been studying for a longer time, so she will have to wait until March next year to register at the university with other freshmen.
Naturally, Taeyeon wanted to share such a big event with her family. When the family learned about it, they were all very happy. After all, Koreans attach great importance to education, not to mention that it was Kyung Hee University.
Although it was only a one-year further study, he was still a college student. After Kim Jong-gu asked Taeyeon the whole story, he originally wanted to go to Seoul to express his gratitude to Zhou Jing in person. He never thought that by chance, they would meet in Jeonju.
.
It's just that Zhou Jing's reaction was too... Wait, Jin Zhonggu's eyes tightened and he seemed to realize something, but he made a decision in an instant and said solemnly:
"Zhou Jingxi, you helped Taeyeon go to university, right? To be honest, our family felt sorry for that child who gave up the college entrance examination. Now that we have such a good opportunity, her mother and I are very grateful to you, Kang Sanghami
Da.”
It turned out that this was what he was talking about. Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had made a mistake. Facing Jin Zhonggu's thanks, Zhou Jing couldn't help but blush and laugh.
Little did he know that he had never thought about it at all. Who made him rush to break off the relationship with Taeyeon? This of course made Kim Jong-gu suspicious.
It stands to reason that there is no need for Zhou Jing to do this if they are just close friends, so Kim Jong-gu immediately concluded that the relationship between Zhou Jing and Taeyeon is unusual. From his experience, even if the two have not dated yet, they have at least begun to have an affair.
Otherwise, people would be so full that they would come to do this kind of thing. As for Zhou Jing's reaction, he understood it very well. Anyone who suddenly bumped into the father of an ambiguous partner would probably deny it.
Jin Zhonggu, who thought he had seen through everything, laughed secretly in his heart. At the same time, he also had concerns about what would happen if he was too enthusiastic and scared away his future son-in-law.
So after expressing his gratitude, he stopped continuing the previous topic and started chatting casually. Zhou Jingmeng actually relaxed in the dark. It was just a matter of routine, and he had nothing to do for the time being anyway.
As the chat progressed, Jin Zhonggu naturally asked Zhou Jing the reason for coming to Quanzhou. After Zhou Jing hesitated, he briefly told what happened at Jin Yulong's home.
"It seems that Yulongxi is really good." Jin Zhonggu sighed after hearing this, "It's hard to believe that your company is so considerate of its employees. This is rare in South Korea."
"Haha..." Zhou Jing responded with a sarcastic smile. We couldn't let him learn more about social and capital issues. In desperation, he had no choice but to change the topic.
"Yu Long is really a good kid. By the way, he is Taeyeon's biggest fan. He has been a fan since he was in college until now. He is quite a long-term fan."
"Oh, does Taeyeon know about him?" Kim Jong-gu is not surprised by this. Taeyeon's fans come here every day, and over time he has become accustomed to it.
"I know, my colleagues in the company pooled their money together and Taeyeon also contributed a share, a total of 10 million won." Zhou Jing replied casually.
His thoughts were very simple. Since he had the opportunity, he would definitely praise Taeyeon's kind behavior in front of Kim Jong-gu. Who's a parent who doesn't like to hear others praise their children.
However, the speaker has no intention of listening, and Kim Jong-gu immediately started thinking about it. Which idol would pamper fans like this? The problem is that Taeyeon did it again.
】
Haha, the answer is obvious. Taeyeon must have helped Jin Yulong as a mistress. Jin Jong has been thinking about it for a long time. Only this can explain everything.
"Taitai, you are so generous even before we are dating. What should we do when we get married?" Jin Jonggu secretly cursed.
But these are all small things. Kim Jong-gu is quite satisfied with Zhou Jing, his future son-in-law. He is mature and stable, and has a good career. Although he is a foreigner, he believes that he can definitely support Taeyeon.
In the past two years, Taeyeon has become more and more autistic. It is not that the family knows nothing, but there is nothing we can do. There are many artists in the South Korean entertainment industry who have similar situations that have ended in tragedy. As a parent, can you not be worried about Taeyeon?
.
Especially when the short-lived relationship was exposed, it caused an uproar. Jin Zhonggu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. As for that young man, he was really not a good match from his perspective.
But at that time, Taeyeon didn't say anything to her family, until one day something happened. According to Taeyeon's mom, Kim Hye-ja, she discovered that her daughter would be extremely depressed and even suffer from depression if she officially announced the breakup under those circumstances.
It's all possible.
However, this is not the case. Not only is Taeyeon sunny again, but her hearty laughter can also be heard from time to time, which makes the family happy but also very confused.
Now that the truth is finally revealed, it turns out that Taeyeon is nourished by love. Jin Jonggu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Jing who was still praising Taeyeon, and his heart was filled with joy.
As long as her daughter is happy, nothing else matters. This is a very simple thought in Jin Zhonggu's heart.
Zhou Jing had no idea what Kim Jong-gu was thinking. When he saw the other party beaming with joy, he thought he was proud of Taeyeon. Little did he know that Kim Jong-gu was already imagining the scene of bringing up his grandson in his mind.
Fortunately, Jin Yulong had already picked out his spectacle frames and returned to the counter. Jin Zhonggu gathered his thoughts and started writing the receipt seriously. Jin Yulong happily took out his wallet and prepared to pay, but Zhou Jing beat him to it.
"Uncle, swipe my card. I bought the glasses."
"Master, how can this be done? I should buy Shiya's glasses." Jin Yulong eagerly wanted to stop Zhou Jing from paying, but was pushed back by Zhou Jing.
"Uncle, look at it, the disciples now don't listen to the master anymore. Shouldn't you give him a good scolding when you go back? Haha..." Zhou Jing chuckled and put the credit card on the counter and made a joke.
Jin Zhong, who was placing orders, answered the call quickly, "Well, I should, it's really outrageous."
However, just as Jin Yulong was stunned, Zhou Jing was also dumbfounded, because Jin Zhonggu pushed his credit card back without even looking at it, and then handed the receipt to Jin Yulong.
"I gave these glasses to Yulongxi, Zhiyong, remember to put them on my account, do you understand?"
"Hey, daddy." The male clerk nodded without any hesitation.
Who is your father? Zhou Jing and Jin Yulong looked at each other. For a moment, they forgot to politely refuse Jin Zhong’s offer of a free bill. The person who co-authored and served Jin Yulong for a long time was... yes, the legendary Taeyeon’s brother.
.
Not to mention that the other person's eyebrows did have some similarities with Taeyeon, but the male clerk actually acted a little shy when he saw Zhou Jing and others' surprised expressions. Finally, prompted by Kim Jong-gu's eyes, he introduced himself:
"I'm Jin Jiyong, Taeyeon's oppa, Zhou Jingge. Nice to meet you. In fact, I recognized you as soon as you entered the store."
"Hello, Zhiyong xi." Zhou Jing and Jin Zhiyong shook hands and acknowledged each other.
Only then did Jin Yulong remember that he couldn't let Taeyeon's father foot the bill, as there was no reason for fans to come over and eat for free. As a result, before he could even open his mouth to refuse, Kim Jong-gu made the final decision domineeringly.
"Yu Longxi, thank you very much for liking Taeyeon for many years and for coming to the store more often when you have the opportunity. But today I have ordered these glasses, so please don't refuse."
"It's a gift from the elders. Don't dare to refuse. Yulong, just accept this gift." Zhou Jing suddenly patted Jin Yulong on the shoulder and said.
Although Jin Yulong didn't understand why Zhou Jing changed his mind, he couldn't help but listen to his master's words, so he quickly bowed to Jin Zhonggu to express his gratitude.
In fact, the purpose of Zhou Jing's doing this was just not to refute Jin Jonggu's good intentions. Anyway, he remembered the favor and could find an opportunity to return it to Taeyeon later.
But Jin Zhonggu didn't think so. He thought this was a sign that Zhou Jing didn't treat him as an outsider. It seemed that his suspicion was not gone.
However, Jin Zhiyong seemed to know something, and he was also aware of his father's thoughts. He felt embarrassed and speechless about this.
