As the end of October approached, Yang Cheng gave the Park family a call and brought Lin Ruoxi to Seoul, bringing the crescent necklace along with him.
To the "Korean drama expert" Lin Ruoxi, going to Korea was more exciting than going to any other country. Seoul was also the filming location of many Korean dramas, so Lin Ruoxi was naturally interested. Before going, Lin Ruoxi had already decided to stay in Seoul for a week or two. She had even chosen the location and route!
Yang Chen wasn't really interested in this small country. He had been to Seoul a few times, and he was familiar with the major cities in the world. However, the atmosphere in South Korea where people would bow and kneel for no reason was tiring for the lazy Yang Chen.
Due to the high latitude, the temperature in Seoul was much lower than in Zhonghai. It was so cold that it could condense frost and occasionally snow.
In the evening, the plane arrived at Incheon International Airport.
Park Jonghyun was the one who came to pick them up. When he saw Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi, Park Jonghyun was overjoyed. He warmly shook hands with them and asked his bodyguards to carry Lin Ruoxi's luggage.
"My cousin misses the both of you very much. She even begged to come pick you up, but her tutor, Teacher Vivian, is teaching her, so I'm the only one here."
"Teacher Vivian? A foreign tutor? "Lin Ruoxi asked curiously.
Park Jonghyun led the two to the car while shaking his head. "Not a westerner, but a female tutor, Hua Xia, who is proficient in English and Korean. She's a student recommended by my grandfather's American professor."
Yang Cheng teased Lin Ruoxi. "What, you're still taking care of Zhenxiu's studies now that she's back in Korea?"
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. She was just concerned.
They drove from the airport to the Park family's mansion in the Gangnam district of Seoul. There were already a few luxury cars parked in the parking lot in front of the mansion. It was obvious that some people were waiting.
Under Park Jonghyun's lead, many people in the spacious living room stood up and looked over.
The only one who remained seated was an old man wearing a fur collar robe and holding a walking stick. It was Park Cheon whom they had seen in the video.
However, Park Cheon's complexion looked much better. He had a slight smile on his face and his gaze was kind.
What piqued Yang Chen's interest was the young man standing behind Park Cheon's sofa, wearing a tight white short-sleeved shirt. The man was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen anything. He was playing with three egg-sized steel balls in his hands.
Based on Yang Cheng's many years of experience, even though the man did not cultivate any internal energy, he was a fierce character who had fought his way through piles of blood. He was most likely Park Cheon's bodyguard.
The other middle-aged couple was Yoo Hao-myung and Park Ji-yeon. Yoo Hao-myung was rather short, and it was a little discordant when he was with his wife, Park Ji-yeon.
The other young and beautiful lady who surprised Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi was Yoo Yeonhee!
Yoo Yeonhee's makeup was dazzling. Her pink lip gloss shone brightly. She wore an elegant black V-neck top paired with a fluffy scarf that covered part of her chest. She wore a pair of tight-fitting jeans that outlined her slender legs.
"Welcome, aren't you surprised to see me?" Yoo Yeonhee smiled proudly.
Yoo Yeonhee had interacted with Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi during the Star of Yu Lei selection and the concert in Zhonghai. However, those memories were not pleasant. Yoo Yeonhee's fake smile was the best response.
"Yeonhee, be polite," Park Cheon said calmly.
Yoo Yeonhee retracted her gaze and nodded at Park Cheon. "Yes, grandfather."
Park Ji-yeon smiled reservedly. "Mr. Yang, Miss Lin, nice to meet you. I'm Zhenxiu's aunt, Park Ji-yeon. This is my husband, Yoo Hao-myung. Yeonhee is our daughter. Thank you for taking care of her in Zhonghai."
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi finally understood that Yoo Yeonhee was Park Cheon's granddaughter just like Zhenxiu.
The difference was that Zhenxiu was the eldest daughter despite her young age while Yoo Yeonhee was born of a concubine's daughter. Even if they shared the same bloodline, seniority was a must in the wealthy families of Korea.
Yang Cheng recalled the argument between Yoo Yeonhee and Park Jonghyun in front of his house. Yoo Yeonhee must have fallen in love with Park Jonghyun, but weren't they siblings? He couldn't help but feel curious.
Park Cheon was inviting the two to take a seat when a familiar cheer came from upstairs.
"Brother Yang! Sister Ruoxi! "
Zhenxiu, who was wearing a pinkish-white woolen sweater, ran out of the study and down the stairs.
It had been a long time since they last met, and Zhenxiu looked even more beautiful and charming. Her cheeks were especially smooth, and her skin was smooth and tender. Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, and under her close-fitting woolen sweater, her tight, full breasts and slender waist formed a distinct visual impact as she ran.
Yang Cheng muttered to himself. Once this girl's transnational bloodline was revealed, coupled with good nutrition and nourishment, she looked like a fairy in Korean dramas. Most importantly, she didn't undergo plastic surgery!
"Be careful, be careful … Don't fall …" Park Cheon called out worriedly, his face filled with affection.
Yoo Yeonhee saw her grandfather's gentle attitude towards Zhenxiu, which was completely different from how he treated her. A trace of disdain flashed across her eyes.
Zhenxiu ran forward with a smile and hugged Yang Cheng without any hesitation. She then turned around and hugged Lin Ruoxi, giggling. "You're finally here. I wanted to pick you up but Teacher wouldn't let me. I'm not in the mood to study anymore."
Lin Ruoxi missed her too. After all, Zhenxiu had stayed at home for so many days that they were like family. Lin Ruoxi cupped Zhenxiu's cheeks tenderly. "It's already dark and you're still studying?"
"Yeah!" Zhenxiu pouted. "Teacher Vivian is very strict and even Grandfather won't help me!"
Park Cheon laughed heartily. "Grandfather can follow you in everything but you can't fall behind in your studies. Otherwise, when Grandfather is done with you and you've learned nothing, won't you have tens of thousands of people starving with you?"
His words were filled with love for Zhenxiu.
Since everyone was speaking in Korean, Yang Chen translated for Lin Ruoxi. He was so busy that he couldn't be happier.
At that moment, a slender figure came down from upstairs. She was wearing a round-collared dress with a black trench coat draped over her buttocks. Her fair and round thighs were exposed to the air, adding a touch of sensuality to her intellectuality.
Park Jonghyun was the first to notice the figure. He stepped forward and said politely, "Teacher Vivian, thank you for your hard work. Stay and have dinner with us tonight."
Vivian smiled reservedly and was about to refuse, but when she saw the two "guests" standing in the living room, her pretty face was filled with astonishment. Her face turned pale, and her clear eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Jing … Jing!?"
Yang Chen almost didn't recognize the girl in front of him, because the name 'Vivian' and Li Jingjing didn't have any relation at all. Furthermore, Li Jingjing's attire was completely in the avant-garde and bold European style, as if she was a young lady who grew up in the upper class, completely different from the young and inexperienced high school teacher from a year ago.
Lin Ruoxi took a while to react. She was pleasantly surprised. "So the Teacher Vivian everyone is talking about is you. Jingjing, long time no see!"
To Lin Ruoxi, Li Jingjing, who taught her how to cook and volunteered with her at the orphanage, was the first female friend she got to know after growing up.
Although there was some unhappiness between the two because of Zeng Xinlin, Lin Ruoxi didn't think that it was Li Jingjing's fault. It was Zeng Xinlin who took advantage of her when she was at her weakest.
Yang Cheng's heart was in turmoil. Many scenes of the past appeared in his mind. When he first returned to Hua Xia, he was disheartened, depressed, and lonely. It was after he got to know Old Li's family and Li Jingjing that he slowly walked out of the shadow of losing Seventeen.
After going through so many things and being separated for a year, he felt as if a lifetime had passed when he saw the girl again.
She was still her, just prettier, more mature, and more charming.
After a moment of shock, Li Jingjing came back to her senses. A complicated bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were moist. "Brother Yang, Sister Ruoxi, long time no see."
The Park family members were surprised and puzzled. How did the three of them know each other? Judging from the ups and downs of their emotions, their relationship wasn't ordinary.
