191: Chapter 191 The JK Sisters' Quarrel
The car drove through the early morning streets, a strange silence filling the cabin.
Jessica Jung sat in the passenger seat, her expression so gloomy it looked like it could drip water. Her hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes as she glared hatefully at Liu Zijun.
From time to time, she turned her head to glare at Krystal Jung in the rearview mirror, her eyes full of anger and disappointment, yet mixed with a trace of imperceptible heartache.
Both sisters had fallen into his hands; she only hoped Krystal Jung and Liu Zijun hadn't reached that stage yet.
Krystal Jung curled up in the back seat, arms hugging her knees and her head buried between them.
Occasionally, she looked up, her eyes darting toward Liu Zijun in a panic before quickly lowering her head again like a child who had done something wrong.
Liu Zijun gripped the steering wheel, his brow furrowed as he calculated how to resolve this crisis.
He knew that this matter would eventually have to be laid out in the open; running away wouldn't solve anything.
He just hadn't expected it to come so soon.
The car slowly drove into the residential complex where the jk sisters' apartment was located and parked in an underground space.
Liu Zijun was the first to get out. He opened the rear door and said softly to Krystal Jung, "Come on down, let's go up and talk things through."
Krystal Jung hesitated for a moment before slowly shuffling out of the car and following behind Liu Zijun.
Jessica Jung also pushed open her door and walked into the hallway without a word, the sound of her high heels clicking against the floor as if venting her inner frustration.
Opening the apartment door, Jessica Jung walked straight to the living room sofa and sat down. She crossed her arms and looked coldly at the two who followed her inside.
"Speak. What exactly is going on between you two? When did it start?"
Liu Zijun pulled Krystal Jung to sit on the sofa opposite her, gently patting the back of her hand to signal her not to be afraid.
Then he turned to Jessica Jung and said in a calm tone, "Krystal is with me because of you."
Jessica Jung let out a sneer, her eyes full of mockery.
"Because of me?"
"Liu Zijun, stop flattering yourself! Because of me? She was clearly bewitched by you!"
Liu Zijun looked at this proud woman as if looking at a fool.
"Back when your brand encountered difficulties and took on a 5 billion korean won loan, Kwon Young-il made all sorts of excuses.
Krystal saw you frowning every day and was incredibly anxious for you."
"She knew I had the ability to help you solve those troubles, but she didn't want to owe me too big a favor.
That's why... why she took the initiative to find me, saying she was willing to give herself to me in exchange for my help."
"Otherwise, why do you think I appeared on Hong Kong Island?"
Hearing this, Jessica Jung's eyes filled with panic, and she looked at Krystal Jung with heartache.
After a long while!
"How could you be so foolish? To do such a thing for me! Do you know what this means for you?"
She looked at Krystal Jung with heartache, her anger gradually replaced by pity.
She never expected that her usually cold and reserved sister would make such a huge sacrifice for her.
And was she really a selfish person, just as Liu Zijun said?
Krystal Jung shook her head and said with a firm gaze, "I don't care."
"As long as it helps you, as long as you are okay, I'm willing to do anything.
Besides, I truly like Oppa. Being with him makes me happy, and this is what I want."
Looking at the two sisters, a complex emotion welled up in Liu Zijun's heart.
"As for what happened between you and me on Hong Kong Island..."
"At that time, you were exhausted because of the brand and had misunderstandings about me.
You took the initiative to confess to me, saying you were willing to give yourself to me to show your gratitude.
I admit, I was indeed attracted to you then, and with the influence of alcohol, we ended up having a relationship."
"I thought it was just a transaction where each got what they needed, and we would return to our separate lives afterward.
But I didn't expect you to develop real feelings for me, let alone that Krystal would also end up with me."
Listening to Liu Zijun's words, Jessica Jung felt a mix of emotions.
She knew Liu Zijun was telling the truth; that night on Hong Kong Island, she had been the one to take the initiative.
But she couldn't accept that the man she liked was actually with her own biological sister.
Her voice carried a hint of despair.
"So, are you trying to tell me now that you don't want to take responsibility for me?"
Liu Zijun shook his head and said seriously, "I won't give up on Krystal.
She has sacrificed so much for me and for you; I can't let her down.
As for you, I know I've hurt you, but I don't want to lie to you either.
If you're willing, I can try to accept you, and I can guarantee I'll do my best to take care of everyone.
Of course, if you're not willing, I'll respect your choice and do my best to make up for the harm you've suffered."
Jessica Jung suddenly stood up and roared at Liu Zijun, "In your dreams!"
"Share the same man with my sister? What kind of person do you take me, Jessica Jung, for? Even if I'm single for the rest of my life, I would never do such a thing!"
"I warned you not to mess with Krystal! With me by your side and so many other women, is that still not enough to satisfy you?"
She turned to Krystal Jung and said, "Little Krystal, how could you be so confused?
Break up with him immediately!
Your sister will find a way to help you get away from him.
The two of us will live well together from now on and never have anything to do with this man again!"
But Krystal Jung stood up and said firmly, "I won't break up! I like Oppa, and I don't want to be apart from him.
Jessica, I know it's hard for you to accept, but I hope you can understand that matters of the heart cannot be forced.
Oppa and I are truly in love. You can't demand that I separate from him just because you're unwilling."
Jessica Jung trembled with rage, pointing at Krystal Jung, unable to say a word for a long time.
"You... you're going to be the death of me!"
Looking at the quarreling sisters, Liu Zijun also felt uneasy and couldn't help but speak up, "Alright, both of you calm down."
"The responsibility for this lies with me.
Jessica, I know you're hurting, but I won't give up on Krystal. She is my woman!"
"I know it's difficult for you to accept me being with Krystal and also accept the relationship between us.
But I can promise you that I will be good to both of you and won't let you suffer any grievances.
If you really can't accept it, I won't force you, but I hope you don't distance yourself from Krystal because of this."
Jessica Jung looked at Krystal Jung's firm gaze and then at Liu Zijun's overbearing expression, feeling very conflicted!
But sharing the same man with her own sister was still something she couldn't quite accept.
She struggled for a long time, tears falling incessantly, her heart aching as if cut by a knife.
Suddenly she cursed, "You dog man, all you do is bully me!"
Seeing her sister's pain, Krystal Jung also felt terrible.
She walked to Jessica Jung's side, gently took her hand, and said with a sob, "Jessica, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for making things so difficult for you.
If you really can't accept it, I can temporarily separate from Oppa until you've thought it through.
But I hope you won't blame Oppa or be angry with me anymore."
Jessica Jung reached back and hugged Krystal Jung, her tears falling even harder.
"dog man, it's all that dog man's fault!"
Liu Zijun rubbed his nose; he had indeed acted dishonorably in this matter.
