Chapter 92 Xiuzhi: Every medicine has its side effects, Yaxian! (Day 1 of 10,000 words)
After the live broadcast ended, Jung Do-hoon received some good news:
Due to an application from the Busan City Government, the joint meeting originally scheduled for this Friday, which is tonight, has been postponed to next Monday.
If the joint meeting is postponed for a few days, he will have a few more days to prepare.
He picked up his phone and dialed Noh Jae-heon almost without hesitation.
The call was answered quickly, and Lu Zaixian's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of elder-like teasing: "Dohoon, you've finally remembered this old man?"
Zheng Daoxun smiled: "Uncle Zaixian, are you free tonight? Didn't we agree to visit you this weekend?" "Yes, of course I'm free. Just come straight here, and don't forget to bring your Moutai."
So Zheng Daoxun went home first, and when he entered, Ya Xian was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
A bag of potato chips lay on Ya Xian's fair and slender legs, her feet propped up on the coffee table, gently twitching, looking quite comfortable.
"Oppa, why are you up so early today?" Ya-Hsien sat up straighter on the sofa and looked at the chicken legs thawing in the kitchen.
"I have a dinner engagement tonight." Jung Do-hoon noticed the chicken leg and smiled apologetically. "I might not have time to try your cooking tonight?"
Ya Xian's gaze drifted towards the ceiling: "Even if you don't leave a note, I'll still look up the strategy guide."
Zheng Daoxun gently pinched Ya Xian's cheek: "So why did you fail last night?"
"Everyone has a first time! By the way, where are you going to eat?"
"Uncle Lu's house."
Ya Xian said "Oh," and then added, "He won't get you drunk?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Zheng Daoxun turned to look at her.
Of course it's because you drank too much and didn't come home last time.
Ya-Hsien didn't mention this matter much afterward, but that doesn't mean she didn't remember it or didn't care.
"Not today," said Jung Do-hoon. "It's just a casual meal, and the two of us will just have a few drinks."
He changed his shoes, and before opening the door, he turned back and said, "Don't wait for me, go to sleep early."
The door lock clicked shut.
The room quieted down, and the variety show on TV was still playing, but Ya Xian couldn't hear a single word.
She looked down at the potato chips on the coffee table, picked one up and put it back, barely having any appetite left.
How could Zheng Yaxian possibly feel at ease? Besides, Zheng Daoxun was going to the Lu family's house; the Lu family might just let him stay overnight.
We need to find someone who can take Zheng Daoxun away from the Lu family.
So Ya-Hsien scrolled through her contacts and found Bae Soo-Ji's name, her thumb lingering on it for several seconds.
Is it really appropriate to entrust Jung Do-hoon to Bae Soo-ji? If it weren't for her own foot injury and the fact that she wasn't old enough to take her driving test, Jung Ah-hyun would never have entrusted her with such an important matter.
But it seems that Bae Suzy is the only adult she can rely on now.
As for Huang Lizhi—she went to rescue Zheng Daoxun last time, but didn't come back all night either. Ya Xian immediately rejected that choice.
ss is gone.
She pressed the call button.
It rang twice, and then the other end answered.
"Ya-Hsien?" Bae Suzy's voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of surprise. The background was quiet; she must be at home.
What's wrong?
"Unnie," Ya-hsien pursed her lips, her tone a little awkward, and her voice much lower than usual, "Are you free tonight?"
"I have time. Go ahead."
"Oppa went to an elder's house for drinks—" Ya-hsien curled her knees up, her other hand gripping the edge of the sofa cushion, tugging at it a couple of times before letting go. "I'm a little worried. Could you pick him up tonight?"
of course can.
Bae Suzy was in a good mood.
When Ya-Hsien encounters problems, she thinks of herself and is willing to entrust important tasks to her. Isn't that a good sign?
"Okay, do you know the address?"
Ya Xian was stunned for a moment. How could she possibly know?
She was ultimately not mature enough, and her thinking was not comprehensive enough. Or rather, she was just too busy processing the fact that Zheng Daoxun was going to have dinner at the Lu family's house.
She should have asked Jung Do-hoon before he left: if she couldn't contact him that night, where should she look for him?
This is also why Bae Soo-ji is needed to handle things. Bae Soo-ji's thinking is definitely much more thorough than Jung Ah-hyun's.
"You'll have to ask him, I don't know either—" Zheng Yaxian's voice grew softer and softer, she had indeed handed over a very difficult task to Bae Xiuzhi.
"Okay, I understand, don't worry."
"————Thank you, unnie."
"You're welcome." Bae Suzy smiled easily. She could hear the awkwardness in Ya Xian's tone, but she didn't call her out on it.
The call ended. Ya Xian put her phone on the coffee table and leaned back against the sofa.
The light from the living room ceiling was a bit too bright, so she closed her eyes.
I can't quite describe the feeling in my heart.
Want to relax?
One point. She trusts Bae Soo-ji to do things; it's the kind of trust she has in a reliable adult. There's no doubt that Bae Soo-ji is very thorough in her work.
But there's more to it than just relaxation.
This is really a headache. If Bae Suzy didn't like Jung Do-hoon, she definitely wouldn't have agreed to help.
The problem is that Bae Suzy has a very strong liking for her oppa.
Doesn't this mean pushing Jung Do-hoon onto Bae Suzy?
When the thought popped into her head, Ya Xian opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while.
She tried to comfort herself with this thought—at least she had told Bae Soo-ji to make sure she brought Jung Do-hoon back tonight.
Even if I didn't ask Bae Suzy for help today, this senior figure in the entertainment industry would have her own ways of getting close to Jung Do-hoon.
Meanwhile, Jung Do-hoon, who was sitting in the back of a taxi, received a call from Bae Soo-ji.
"Dohoon-i~ What are you busy with tonight?"
"Why are you visiting an elder relative?"
Are you going to drink tonight?
"We definitely need to have something to drink."
"It's nothing special, but there's something I can't decide on, and it's inconvenient to say it over the phone. I'd like to hear your opinion in person."
After a moment's thought, Zheng Daoxun said, "Then you can come to my house and wait for me."
"Oh, are you saying I'm leaving you all alone in your room? Waiting for you to come home." Bae Suzy joked. "Just kidding. I'm out too. Where are you going later? I'll just come find you. If I go to your house, Ya-Hsien will have to stay with me, which will disturb her rest."
also.
Bae Suzy is quite thoughtful.
Instead of sending Noh Jae-heon's address directly to Bae Soo-ji, Jung Do-hoon found a bus stop nearby and said, "Let's meet here."
"Okay, but don't get completely drunk, or I'll have made a wasted trip and I'll hold you responsible!"
"You knew I was going to drink, and you even took my advice, so how can you blame me?" Jung Do-hoon joked playfully.
"Dohoon, this is my trust in you~" Bae Suzy chuckled, "How about we meet around 10 pm tonight?"
'
"No need to stay that long, we should be out around nine o'clock. I don't want to disturb the elderly person's rest."
"You'll be fined if you're even one minute late."
