Chapter 906: Go ahead
Could it be... that Bae Suzy’s family is here?
After a brief association, this thought flashed through Chi Jingyuan's mind. Looking at Bae Suzy's intimate actions and smile in the distance, he became more and more convinced of his thoughts, and suddenly became a little nervous.

Even though he is actually quite experienced in meeting the parents and relatives of close friends, it wouldn't matter if it was a decent girlfriend, but... as Bae Suzy said last time, 'playing with someone else's daughter for a few years and dumping her whenever you want' is really unpleasant to hear.

I thought it was just a joke last time, but I didn't expect to meet him on the set suddenly... Feeling a little panicked, Chi Jingyuan began to think quickly about what attitude he should use when talking about these things when they meet later, and what he should say to be more appropriate...

But in addition to being nervous, Chi Jingyuan looked at Bae Suzy and her family who were getting closer and closer, and his heart suddenly became a little irritated. A surge of anger rose up in his chest uncontrollably, and became more and more intense in a short time.

Last time, when Bae Suzy mentioned "visiting her home", although Chi Jingyuan said it in a more tactful way, his meaning and attitude were actually very clear...

That is, he didn't really want to talk about their affairs with her family at this time.

But what does Pei Xiuzhi mean now? She told them about what happened between her and Chi Jingyuan, but she didn't go to visit them and directly brought her parents to visit without asking for permission?
Isn't this forcing the emperor to abdicate?
As Bae Suzy and the others came over greeting each other, the various greetings and chatting sounds that he couldn't hear clearly before were getting closer and closer. Chi Jingyuan became more and more angry the more he thought about it. His opinion of Bae Suzy reached its peak at this moment, and he even felt a little disgusted.

However, his politeness and manners were impeccable at this time. Even though he was very angry, he still gave Bae Suzy enough face and stood up with a smile on his face to show his welcome and politeness.

In addition to Bae Suzy who was leading the group and holding her mother, there were three other people who came to visit the set. Two of them looked older and were probably her parents. There was also a woman following behind her who, although young, was obviously older than Bae Suzy. She was probably the sister she had mentioned before.

Bae Suzy's parents, Bae Won-young and Jung Hyun-sook, both look to be around fifty years old. The mother's eyes and eyebrows are very similar to Bae Suzy's, and she is still quite graceful even at her age.

Although Dad was not particularly tall, he looked very strong, which was consistent with Chi Jingyuan's previous imagination of a man who had practiced Taekwondo and other sports for many years. Although he was smiling like a good old man at this moment, his eyes were very bright.

The first impression Bae Suzy's family left on him in terms of appearance and temperament was quite good...it was just that the timing of the meeting was a bit wrong.

Seeing several people approaching, Chi Jingyuan suppressed his irritation and anger and greeted them with a smile.

It's just that... things seem to be a little different from what he expected...

"This is Chi Jingyuan, the male lead I'm acting with this time. I told you..."

"This is my family, this is my dad, my mom, and my sister..."

"Hello, uncle and aunt..."

"This is Jing Yuanxi, right? Hello, hello..."

"Oh my god, he really is much more handsome than on TV."

When Pei Xiuzhi's parents arrived, their eyes lit up when they saw Chi Jingyuan, and they immediately greeted him enthusiastically, especially his father Pei Yuanying. Although he looked like a strong and tough man, he took the initiative to bend down in front of Chi Jingyuan, a junior who was several years younger than him, and took his hand with a smile on his face. He was very kind and even a little humble, and kept talking to Pei's mother:

"…The filming must have been very hard. Suzy often told us that you took care of her on the set. I am really grateful to Jingyuanxi for taking care of and helping our Suzy…"

"…I heard from Suzy that you two are very good friends. I didn’t have the chance this time because of work, but next time you come to Gwangju, you must come to my house…"

While her parents were talking to Chi Jingyuan, Bae Suzy stood aside, holding her mother's arm, watching with a smile. After introducing both sides, she stopped talking and just stroked her hair gently, like a pure and elegant lady.

"...This is what I should do...Uncle, you are so polite..."

Chi Jingyuan was surprised in his heart, but he remained calm on his face. He continued to respond with a sunny smile and considerable politeness.

Pei's father and mother thanked him a few words and left, following Pei Xiuzhi to meet the director and other main creative staff of the crew. When leaving, Pei Xiuzhi did not express anything extra, as if she and Chi Jingyuan were just friends who knew each other and had a good relationship.

Compared to them, Bae Suzy's sister was very interested in Ji Jingyuan, and even seemed a little shy. She hesitated for a moment during the conversation later, and finally took the initiative to ask him for an autograph and a photo.

After the few people left, Chi Jingyuan's smile faded. He looked at their backs, frowned slightly and pursed his lips.

Then came the lunch session that Ji Jingyuan had been waiting for for a long time, but it was not the lunch prepared by the crew... Bae Suzy's family certainly did not come to visit the set empty-handed this time. They brought three full support cars, one was a beverage truck for coffee, and the other two were food trucks for steaks and hamburgers, directly covering the lunch for the entire crew.

...Although it's a bit expensive, with a rich daughter like Bae Suzy as a support, it's actually nothing.

Because the heroine's family came to confess, the leading actor Ji Jingyuan and several main creators were pulled to sit together for dinner and talk about the filming and things about Bae Suzy, but Bae Suzy's family did not pay any undue attention to Ji Jingyuan at the dinner table, which seemed a little normal.

Because it was very different from what he had expected, Chi Jingyuan had been confused. After dinner, while Pei Xiuzhi's family was chatting with Li Yingfu and others, Chi Jingyuan walked aside, looked at Pei Xiuzhi and asked in a low voice: "You didn't tell your parents...about us?"

"..."

Hearing this question, Pei Xiuzhi looked up and glanced at him, but did not answer directly. Instead, she asked: "Do your parents know about us?"

"Hmm... I don't know." Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, as if he understood something.

Hearing this, Pei Xiuzhi shrugged lightly, sneered at him, and said unhappily:
"Isn't that okay?"

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the director without any reluctance, leaving Chi Jingyuan with a chic back.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the woman's back, as if he wanted to say something. He opened his mouth but fell silent again.

It seems... I am being a little too self-indulgent and have wrongly blamed her?
At this time, Bae Suzy, who had her back to her, curled her lips slightly and snorted in her heart.

They have known each other for so many years, and they have met in bed, on the balcony, in the bathroom. Doesn't she know Chi Jingyuan's character?

Of course, she knew that using parents and relatives to put pressure on Chi Jingyuan would have no effect on him. He was not someone who could be scared by such things. Moreover, this approach was too strong and would most likely have the opposite effect, causing him to be disgusted and angry.

Bae Suzy considers herself an experienced hunter, so she certainly wouldn't do that.

I thought she would use her parents to force the emperor to abdicate? I really underestimated her.

So today was actually a very simple day... The parents saw that the drama their daughter was starring in was a big hit, and the crew happened to be filming in Gwangju, so they brought a bunch of food and drinks to reward the crew, wanting the other crew members to take better care of Bae Suzy, and at the same time, to satisfy their curiosity about the "Goblin" crew. It was just a very simple and pure family visit, and there was no extra purpose at all.

She had deliberately not told Chi Jingyuan before, just to see his reaction...and when she heard Chi Jingyuan's question just now, she thought to herself that it was just as expected.

However, this was just an ordinary visit.

But, if there must be some careful thoughts in between...

"Jingyuan, let's take a photo together to commemorate this."

A few people were standing over there, talking and laughing. Li Yingfu waved and called out loudly to Chi Jingyuan. Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, put down what he was holding and quickly walked over.

"Jingyuan, please move forward. Why are you standing next to our director?"

"You are the male lead, so stand a little forward... Stand with the female lead, it's just right..."

After some laughter, scolding and correction, the team finally stood in line.

In the camera lens in the hands of the stagehand who was helping to take the photo, Liu Yongfu, several directors, and Bae Suzy's parents and sister were standing together with smiles.

In front of them, the male and female protagonists Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy were slightly bent over and with their legs flexed, their heads tilted towards each other, each raising a scissors hand gesture, with sunny and innocent smiles, looking very beautiful.

…………

"Ouni, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

In the Red Velvet dormitory, Son Seungwan asked casually while looking at Bae Joo-hyun who was covered with a quilt but whose fingers were flying and tapping the screen of her mobile phone quickly.

"Well, wait a moment..."

After a slight pause of one second, Bae Joo-hyun's voice came out from under the quilt. It sounded a little muffled after being filtered through the quilt... But Son Seung-wan didn't say much. He turned off the lights and fell asleep.

"…That means he has a new girlfriend now?"

Seeing the message on her phone, Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips and quickly replied: "Yes, she is also a very popular female idol, and... she is pretty."

She was chatting...or having a heart-to-heart talk with her best friend.

Although each group is showing their team spirit and acting like they are as close as brothers or sisters in front of the camera, in fact, most idols in the circle are not very close to some members of their own group, and some even have very awkward relationships.

After all, being in the same group involves all kinds of competition and even intrigue, and living together every day leads to clashes of various living habits that often cause friction...so in fact, many people's really good relationships are actually with friends outside the circle.

Although Bae Joo-hyun has a good relationship with several sisters in the group, especially Son Seung-wan, some real private things are actually not easy to talk about, not to mention that some of the sisters have serious issues with their positions...

Her best and closest friend is actually a female high school classmate who transferred to her school in her second year of high school and was in the same class with her in her third year of high school... Although they have not known each other for very long, the two of them really get along very well. Although one is in Seoul and the other in Daegu, they still have a very close relationship. They are good friends who keep in touch frequently and can talk about anything.

Including emotional issues that are difficult to talk about in front of outsiders...

The only people who could make her stay up so late and chat with her bestie under the covers could only be that person and this kind of thing.

"You can even say that she's pretty, so she must be really beautiful kkkkkkkk. But if your ex-boyfriend likes her, then she should be pretty... How did you feel when you found out about your new girlfriend?"

Looking at her bestie's text message, Bae Joo Hyun recalled how she felt when she saw the scene between Ming Jingnan and Ji Jingyuan a few days ago. She couldn't help biting her lip and said directly without hiding anything: "I was a little angry at the time! No, I should say I was very angry."

"That's a problem. You've been broken up for so long, half a year, right? It's normal for someone to have a girlfriend. Why are you angry?"

"...I don't know either. I was just very angry and felt like something of mine was taken away from me."

"...To be honest, I really had the urge to slap her in the face. I was even angrier than when Jin Huimei tore my sportswear when we were in school."

In front of her closest friends, Bae Joo-hyun is not as perfect as she usually is in front of the camera, nor as mature and friendly as she is in private in front of her sisters in the group and colleagues in the company. Instead, she seems a bit narrow-minded and even childish, and she is frank about all her negative emotions.

"Even more angry than when Kim Hye-mi did that? I was really angry then... But you still regard it as your own thing even though they broke up? kkkkk, isn't that a bit too greedy, Bae Joo-hyun! I can't stand it any more."

"Hey, which side are you on?"

The girl in the quilt wrinkled her nose immediately after hearing her best friend's reply... Such biased words made her suddenly have the illusion that she was seeing a member of a certain group.

"Of course I'm on your side, but you should be more objective when analyzing things, especially emotional matters... Putting aside your bitchy thoughts, I remember you told me before that your ex-boyfriend's former manager was promoted to be in charge of your group's resource allocation. Has your ex-boyfriend always taken special care of you?"

"Well... Seunghwan oppa really takes care of me, provides me with a lot of resources, and is always very nice every time we meet."

"Last time you had a traffic accident, he called you right away, and you naturally answered the call directly...even though you hadn't been in touch for a long time?"

"……Um."

"Ah... Hearing what you said, it doesn't seem like you two broke up at all. It feels like a couple having a quarrel and a cold war."

"...I...actually, I always thought this way. Even though we broke up, I always felt that we would be together in the future...until I found out that he was dating a new girl."

"So you got angry all of a sudden?... He has a new date, so why don't you find someone new too? Didn't you say a few days ago that a few more people confessed their love to you... Well, if you like someone, go get him/her back, if you don't like him/her, just break up with him/her cleanly. It's good to start a new relationship. There's more than just one man in this world. Our Zhu is so beautiful now, are you still worried about not finding a boyfriend?"

Seeing her bestie's praise and affirmation, Pei Zhuxuan's plain face showed no joy. She hesitated for a second and replied with pursed lips; "I don't feel anything... or, forget it."

"Tsk, I don't feel anything yet... I don't know you well enough. You must think that if you start dating a new boyfriend, there will be no possibility for you and him anymore."

"No way... maybe... it's the same."

"Yes is yes, no is no...ah, why do I feel like you've been a trainee and idol for a few years, and after seeing the world and becoming mature, you've become timid and hesitant? Even though you used to be introverted, you weren't like this. I remember when you were angry, you cursed in Daegu dialect so fluently. Do you remember when you cursed Kim Hye-mi? She couldn't even say anything back..."

"Ah... this isn't the same thing at all, right?"

When talking about her past glorious experiences, Pei Zhuxuan was a little embarrassed. After answering with a frown, her fingers paused and her expression darkened again: "Maybe... it's because I care too much."

"Really?... Indeed, I feel that based on your previous descriptions and what you told me about your relationship, your ex-boyfriend is indeed too good. He is extremely handsome and has a very good family background. Not only can he provide you with great help in life and career, but he is also a very romantic man who understands girls very well. Even the emotional value he gives you is impeccable..."

"Tsk tsk, except that he is a little fickle, he is simply the perfect man that only appears in TV dramas... From your perspective, after dating such an outstanding man, your standards have indeed become higher. It will be difficult to meet such a good boyfriend in the future..."

"Ah Xi%, I'm asking for your advice and thoughts, why are you saying good things about him? It's not like your boyfriend is cheating on you, so of course you'd say that."

"If my boyfriend is Chi Jingyuan, as long as he didn't dump me, I would definitely try my best to hold on to him and never let go. But that's impossible. I'm not as pretty as you, and he wouldn't look down on me... If it's a suggestion, it depends on your own feelings and thoughts.

I still say the same thing, if you like someone, take them back, if you feel you can’t accept them, break up cleanly… But I think if you still want to get back together, you should make a decision as soon as possible… Because no matter how much you still have feelings for them, they will fade over time.”

"And Zhuxian, I really think you need to change yourself. No matter how much you feel or how much you like someone, it's useless if you don't express it. Not many boys like a taciturn person, especially a taciturn person with an awkward self-esteem."

"Can you be like you were in high school in Daegu? Even though you are usually very introverted and don't talk much, if you are really determined, or when you are pushed into a corner and get angry, you will still explode fiercely? Be more straightforward, free and easy... even more old-fashioned. If you don't like him, just scold him in dialect and tell him to get lost. If you like him, roll up your sleeves and take him back rudely!"

"No matter what, let's go! Bae Joo-hyun, the daughter of Daegu!"

"Haha, you are rude and old-fashioned..."

Looking at the long string of text messages sent by her bestie, which contained various slangs, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Just when she wanted to reply, except for the initial retort, she suddenly didn't know what to say. She just stared at the few sentences at the end of the text message, and unconsciously became a little absent-minded.

Did she need to change in the eyes of her closest friends? Should she be more free and easy, and take the initiative according to her own ideas?

But my signature song is "Let It Be"...it seems my personality is the same.

...Which one is correct?

…………

After chatting with her bestie until very late yesterday, she didn't rest for long and got up very early today. However, Bae Joo-hyun has long been accustomed to this kind of schedule. She got into the nanny car without showing any sign of tiredness and followed her agent to the open hall of the new KBS building.

This year's KBS Entertainment Awards will be held here tonight. In addition to being a candidate, Bae Joo-hyun will also serve as the award presenter together with Ji Kyung-won, the once popular Music and Silver CP.

Although the performing arts awards ceremony didn't start until the evening, she arrived early because there was a rehearsal for the awards ceremony early in the morning, and the backstage of the public hall was already crowded with people.

"Anihasay..."

"Anihasay..."

Bae Joo-hyun followed her agent, bowing non-stop all the way, and politely greeted the staff and senior artists passing by. She finally made her way through the backstage and arrived at the door of a lounge.

As the award presenter, she had a separate small lounge...but it was shared with Chi Jingyuan.

After knocking on the door, she gently pushed it open. A quiet atmosphere different from that outside came over her. As soon as Bae Joo-hyun opened the door, she looked straight towards the sofa before she could say hello to the people in the lounge.

The man who was going to partner with her to present the award arrived earlier than her, but he didn't look at her. Instead, he was leaning on the left side of the sofa, sleeping soundly with a blanket wrapped around him and his head drooped. One could even vaguely hear his slight snoring.
