136: It's crooked

The two who were spoken to didn't pay her any mind, burying their heads in their food.

Park Chaeyoung found it quite amusing, "Jisoo, you two usually have so much to say, why are you playing dumb now?"

She continued to peel her lobster and said quite frankly, "Who can be her match when it comes to talking big or arguing? I'd be crazy to debate that with her."

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Kim Jennie agreed with this point; they really couldn't afford to provoke someone who could make people cry in a game.

Lisa pouted, "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Kim Jennie didn't refute, smiling as she looked at Lisa, "Lisa! I've learned another Thai dish recently, I'll make it for you when we get back."

"Eww~" Park Chaeyoung shuddered.

Other things might just be unpalatable, but Thai dishes processed by Kim Jennie's hands were truly deadly; sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty all in one dish, making you speechless with one bite.

Lisa was in despair, sighing as she shoveled down her food, living one day at a time, preparing to be a guinea pig again when they returned.

"Dumpling Ni, you can't just torment Lisa! Chaeyoung is more skilled in eating..."

"Yah! I told you I'm not immune to poison, don't try to harm me." Park Chaeyoung really wanted to stab Xu Zhiyou with a chopstick; that little brat only knew how to trick her.

"Isn't it because Lisa is so pitiful? As her close friend, shouldn't you share some of the burden?"

"Isn't it because she was too arrogant when you were around before, practically courting death? Someone honest like me is fine, right?"

"You, honest? What international joke are you telling me here?"

"Yah!"

"Alright, alright, since it's a retaliatory strike, I won't interfere. But you still haven't said why you're here."

Bringing up the main topic, Kim Ji-soo explained their hypothesis, "So? Is there any possibility of that?"

"What are you thinking? You know nothing about my Unnie's dark heart. If she really wanted to scheme, and let you four amateurs see through it, how would she survive?"

"Zoe, you also have a bit of a rebellious streak. Is it appropriate to say that?" Park Chaeyoung didn't expect the seemingly honest Xu Zhiyou to be so good at gossiping behind people's backs.

"It's fine! You and Show Ge aren't much better than me. You're even more enthusiastic than I am when talking about your Unnie usually."

"Was I?"

"I even recorded it. I'll play it for you right now."

"Are you crazy? Even if your phone has a lot of memory, can't you do something normal?"

"Who told you to be so shameless? I call this being prepared. You'd better pray I don't lose my phone, otherwise, the next day's hot searches will be full of your various unflattering photos from every angle."

"Delete them!"

"Are you giving me orders? Are you getting a bit too arrogant?"

"Yah! I'm serious. With your clumsy habit, if your phone really gets lost, how will we live?"

"Then you delete all those ugly photos of me on your phone first."

"None. You're so naturally beautiful, where would there be any ugly photos?"

"Lie, keep lying. We're all the same, who doesn't know who? Can you fool me?"

While she was talking to Park Chaeyoung, Kim Jennie's small hand stealthily reached into Xu Zhiyou's pants pocket.

Taking advantage of her distraction, she snatched it and ran out, while the other three collaboratively held her back to prevent her from chasing, their teamwork was incredibly coordinated.

"Let go, Lisa! I just helped you, and this is how you repay me? How can you be so heartless?"

"Compared to my reputation, my life is insignificant. You also have many ugly photos of me on your phone, I have no choice."

"Very good, you are indeed very good."

She didn't struggle to get her phone back. There was something called cloud storage; these four idiots wouldn't understand a thing about it.

Kim Jennie lit up the phone and started scrolling through it. Seeing an audio file, she opened it and listened. It was indeed their voices, so she selected all and deleted them with one click.

Then she looked through the photos. She herself was embarrassed by the various ugly photos she saw. If these leaked, a hot search would definitely be unavoidable.

"Zoe! Other girls take all sorts of beautiful photos, but you, you can't find a single one that looks human. You're really something."

"Mind your own business."

After deleting all the photo files related to them, she returned the phone to her, "Here! Let's see how you threaten us now."

Xu Zhiyou calmly took the phone, logged into the cloud server, and re-downloaded the photos, handing it to Kim Jennie: "Here! Keep deleting."

"Huh?" Kim Jennie remembered deleting the recycle bin too. She curiously took it and looked, "Yah! Where did all these come from?"

"Did you forget what I study? I told you to read more books, but you insisted on chasing pigs up the mountain. A brain is a good thing, too bad you don't have one."

"Yah! I'll kill you."

Park Chaeyoung, quick as a flash, hugged Kim Jennie, "Jennie-oni, calm down. The four of us combined can't beat her."

"She said I have a pig's brain."

"Endure! Jennie-oni, you must endure. None of us are as shameless as her, we can't win against her. Let's get the main business done first."

"Chaeyoung, I'm not deaf. Who are you calling shameless?"

Kim Ji-soo covered her face. This damned familiar feeling, both nostalgic and headache-inducing, "Stop, let's get to business. Don't lose the phone, or we'll all be socially dead."

"What the hell am I afraid of? Later I'll sell the ugly photos of the little girl and the simpleton to the paparazzi. This is all money."

Park Chaeyoung glared at her fiercely, "You dare? Believe it or not, I'll fight you to the death?"

"Try arguing with me again?"

Taking two deep breaths, she switched to a smiling expression, massaging her shoulders and back, "My dear Zoe, my voice was a bit loud just now, please don't hold it against me."

"Eww~" Lisa was shocked by Park Chaeyoung's speed in changing expressions.

Kim Jennie and the others were pretty much the same. Kim Ji-soo patted her shoulder and sighed, "Jennie, do you see? This is called being able to bend and stretch."

"Jisoo, this is called being shameless, birds of a feather."

"Never mind, I can't explain it to you. We've argued, we've made a fuss, it's time to get to business, right?"

Kim Ji-soo thought that as long as her family didn't object, everything would be easy, and her heart felt much calmer. "Zoe, when exactly can you go back?"

"How would I know? I'm also in despair!"

Park Chaeyoung slapped her thigh hard, "Didn't you say you'd find a way? You only came up with despair. Your brain isn't that great either, is it?"

"Hiss~ Are you trying to kill me?! I'm wearing pajamas, it hurts a lot."

"Good riddance if it hurts you." She forgot to check if she had scars, directly pulled open her pajamas and looked, "Not bad, no scars. But you're not wearing a bra, be careful of sagging."

"Let me see!" Lisa's eyes lit up and she also leaned in, "It completely follows your S-curve, medium size. Let me touch."

Xu Zhiyou was so scared she ran and hid behind Kim Ji-soo. She hadn't seen them for only half a year and they had become so perverted. Lisa secretly regretted it, thinking she'd have another chance next time.

Kim Ji-soo also looked at her wound, which was as smooth as new, "Tsk tsk tsk! I haven't seen you do any maintenance, how is your skin so smooth, tender, and radiant?"

Kim Jennie also looked, "Could it be that sleeping in really is that good for the skin?"
