At the end of September, Jungkook returned to the school as promised. Countless students swarmed the lecture hall.
Jungkook was wearing a black suit. It had been carefully chosen by Xin Lisa as a way of apology.
His outfit, paired with his noble and dignified temperament, was enough to win over all of the females in the lecture hall. Their screams filled the hall in droves, then he began his speech.
It wasn’t in his personality to encourage them to always work hard and put int heir best effort. Instead, he just lifted a few of his own experiences and warned them about the cruelty of society. If one does not become strong, then they will no choice but to let themselves be trampled on by others. There would be no use complaining. They would simply be reaping what they sowed.
His whole speech could be summed up in one sentence by one of the girls in the audience: poisonous chicken soup.
That girl asked, “Senior Jeon, this chicken soup is so poisonous. Can you not be so cruel? Give us a better recipe instead!”
He chuckled. “Society will never consider your feelings because to it, you are a nobody.”
The girl’s face turned red. Really… so poisonous!
In an act of defiance, she asked him, “Senior Jeon, I heard that you’re married? You speak so bluntly, how does your partner tolerate it?”
“Usually, I indulge her.”
“Wow…!” The students were in an uproar. This is a blatant display of love!
“Senior Jeon, how did you can your wife get together? Can you share some tips on how to chase someone?”
Jungkook looked at the boy who’d asked the question and was momentarily stupefied. He felt a little embarrassed but thought about it and good-naturedly responded, “Two conditions. You have to be shameless enough, and you have to be patient enough.”
“Wow!” The boy continued, “Then, Mr. Jeon, did you chase after your wife first?”
Jungkook answered honestly, “Yes. To be honest, she was the one who persuaded me to give a speech here today. She wanted me to come, so I came. My wife said that because we didn’t spend much time together in college, she has always wished that one day, I would stand on the stage while she sat with the audience, laughing and listening to me talk.”
The students couldn’t stand it. Not only was his business successful, but even his marriage was so sweet! It was really infuriating!
“But unfortunately, she is busy with work and couldn’t come together. Now, I will end this here.”
The students were clearly reluctant to give up on such a good opportunity, but unfortunately, Assistant Wang had already escorted his boss out. The restless students were soon pacified by the teachers.
Once Jungkook left, he was about to call Xin Lisw when he heard a clear female voice from behind him, “Kook-Ah!”
He frowned and turned around. Sheng Eunha, dressed in a white shirt and black dress pants, was walking towards him.
Before he could speak, she tucked her hair behind her ear and said with a small smile, “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to come today.”
“Mhm.” Jungkook looked away from her and asked mildly, “Do you need something?”
She paused before squeezing out another small smile, “No.”
“I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.” He had no intention of chatting with her.
Sheng Eunha took a step forward, then changed her mind. She stepped back again and silently watched his departing back before giving a light laugh and leaving in the opposite direction.
When Assistant Wang saw her leave, he let out a relieved sigh. Beside him, Jungkook naturally noticed his exaggerated move. “What do you mean by that sigh?” he asked.
The assistant immediately straightened his back and replied stiffly, “Nothing, President Jeon.” Jungkook gave him a meaningful look as Assistant Wang resisted the urge to wipe his forehead. He was just afraid his boss might be influenced by others and want to commit infidelity! Fortunately, their interaction was cold.
Naturally, Jungkook did not take his encounter with Sheng Eunha to heart. However, little did he know that for the next few days after his visit, the college forums were filled with posts about him.
They all talked about his talent and achievements and his valiant background. Of course, others were more interested in his private life.
Several people dug into his love history, and some even managed to find pictures of Jungkook and Xin Lisa from their magnificent wedding. They lamented the man’s success in life.
Of course, there were also people who brought up Sheng Eunha, saying that Xin Lisa stole Jungkook by force. They called her a homewrecker who took advantage of Sheng Eunha’s absence from going abroad.
Everyone sighed.
Naturally, the parties involved did not know that they had become a topic of gossip. Zhong Qin’s cousin, who happened to be a freshman in the same college, saw Jungkook that day, called her to gush about his looks and elegance. Zhong Qin responded with some perfunctory comments.
