Chapter 60 My Mind is Blank
Yongsan, Ichon-dong
In the center of a courtyard enclosed by a white fence sits a three-story detached villa.
As night falls, the tranquil and serene atmosphere, a rare find in this densely populated area of Jiangnan, is a welcome contrast to the bustling city life, making it an ideal place for health and wellness.
The local residents all know who the owner of this house is.
At least in Ichon-dong, when it comes to famous figures, many residents' first reaction is to mention Jang Il-seung, the president of Shinshinwon (his name can be found online).
Xinxingyuan is a Chinese cuisine restaurant with over 70 years of history, and has long been a cultural landmark of Longshan.
President Jang Il-seung is a second-generation business owner. The house was already quite famous in Shinshin-won, and the fact that his two daughters, especially his youngest daughter, became entertainers a few years ago made it even more known that this detached villa is the original home of Jang Won-young, the current popular member of the limited-time girl group IZ*ONE.
The living room on the first floor.
Lying on her side on the sofa, eating fruit, Zhang Yuanying mumbled, "Mom, when is Dad coming back?"
Over in the kitchen.
The woman, who was preparing dinner with the maid, turned around and replied, "Your father is on his way home. He heard that his youngest daughter was coming home for dinner tonight, so he canceled all his other plans."
Zhang Yuanying said proudly, "Indeed, I am Dad's most beloved daughter."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a disdainful voice came from the second floor: "I'm Daddy's most beloved daughter, okay?"
Hearing the sound, Jang Won-young sat up straight and asked in confusion, "Unnie's home?"
blah blah blah
In the kitchen, the woman said, "Your sister knew you were coming home for dinner today, so she came back. Usually, she would be out eating with her classmates at this time."
After saying that, the woman called out again, "Zhenying, bring the stir-fried vegetables to the table first."
Jang Jin-young obediently went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes, muttering, "As expected, tonight it's Korean beef and stir-fried vegetables again."
Looking towards the living room, Zhang Zhenying called out, "Aren't you going to wash your hands and get ready to eat?"
Zhang Yuanying stood up and said, "I was going to wash my hands and set the table anyway."
After washing my hands.
Zhang Yuanying passed the dining table and entered the kitchen.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the maid, she snuggled up to her mother and said sweetly, "Mom, you've worked so hard."
The mother looked at Zhang Yuanying with affection and said, "Yuanying, you are so busy every day, you work even harder than your mother."
Zhang Zhenying said, "She's nowhere near as hard-working as my mother. My mother is the one who works the hardest taking care of the family."
Zhang Yuanying nodded in agreement: "That's right, we are able to grow up so healthily all thanks to our mother's care."
The mother and her two daughters smiled at each other.
The prepared side dishes and sauces were also served on the table.
Just as I finished setting it up, Dad came home.
Zhang Yuanying and Zhang Zhenying "competed" to greet their father.
Entrance hall.
The father happily opened his arms as he watched his two daughters run over to greet him.
Gently putting his arms around his two daughters' shoulders, without any need for them to whine or plead, the father said, "Both of you daughters are home having dinner with me today. Tell me, what do you want? Dad will buy it for you."
Zhang Zhenying asked, "How did Dad know Chanel had released a new product?"
Zhang Yuanying said, "I just miss my dad and want to have dinner with my parents. I don't want anything else."
Zhang Zhenying wanted to make amends, but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
He glared at Zhang Yuanying, and although he didn't say anything, his sharp eyes clearly said a lot, like, "So what if you're Zhang Yuanying? You think you're so great? You think you're so rich?"
Zhang Yuanying then secretly stuck out her tongue at Zhang Zhenying, as if in response to Zhang Zhenying's usual practice in the princess dispute.
"Phew~"
After blowing on her bangs, Zhang Zhenying took her father's handbag and coat.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Yuanying massaged her father's shoulders and said, "Dad, you need to rest more lately. The muscles in your shoulders are all tense. If you have time, go for a massage therapy."
After hanging up her clothes and bag, Zhang Zhenying turned back and took her father's arm, saying, "After dinner, I'll give you a hot foot bath. I specially went to Jiji Cave today to buy Chinese medicinal herbs for foot baths."
Dad's smile stretched almost to his ears.
The mother, who came out of the kitchen, said, "You two are practically turning your father into a little kid."
The family took their seats.
The father sat in the main seat, the mother sat in the first seat on the right, and Zhang Yuanying and Zhang Zhenying sat on the left.
Mom was in charge of grilling the meat herself.
The sizzling sound immediately whetted one's appetite.
Zhang Yuanying got up again and mysteriously ran to the living room to bring back a box.
She placed it in front of her father and said, "This is for Dad."
"Moutai liquor? Our youngest daughter even bought good liquor for her father."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not working in her favor, Zhang Zhenying quickly changed the subject, saying, "Today, a classmate from Ewha Womans University told me a secret."
Unlike Jang Won-young, who debuted as an idol singer at the age of 14.
Her older sister, Jang Jin-young, has always focused on her studies, and after graduating from Seoul Arts High School, she successfully entered Ewha Womans University.
Everyone was waiting for Jang Jin-young to continue.
Seeing that she had successfully changed the subject, Jang Jin-young glanced smugly at Jang Won-young and continued, "Dad, did Mom see today's trending topics?"
Mom slowly shook her head.
Father nodded and said, "I heard it from Executive Director Zhang Yuanji, who came to Xinxing Institute for dinner today. Zhenying is referring to Han Xijun from Kakao Group, right?"
Jang Jin-young said, "Yes, it's that KAIST genius, Han Hee-joon from the AI R&D center at Kakao Group. He and Oh Hae-won from the NMIXX group are trending on social media."
Dad said, "Han Xijun is indeed a talent. H country doesn't have anyone like him in the field of AI who is so talented and intelligent from a young age and is willing to study hard. They are far behind China in terms of talent reserves and scientific research development."
Zhang Zhenying said, "Dad, that's not what I wanted to talk about."
Jang Won-young interjected, "Unnie, it's just a trending topic."
Jang Jin-young looked at Jang Won-young and said, "You're wrong. You also think it's just a trending topic because a dating show was filmed?"
Zhang Yuanying retorted, "Isn't that right?"
Jang Jin-young shook her right index finger and said, "NONONO, do you still remember Baek Eun-hee?"
Zhang Yuanying thought for a moment and said, "Unnie's best friend, Eunhee unnie from Ewha Womans University?"
Zhang Zhenying said, "Yes, she works at the Kakao Group."
Zhang Yuanying asked in confusion, "Eun-seo unnie works at Kakao Group?"
Zhang Zhenying said, "Although we are best friends, Eun-hee is two years older than me in school, but that's not the point. The point is that Eun-hee is now the secretary of the AI R&D center, the secretary of that team leader Han Xijun."
Zhang Yuanying unconsciously frowned.
There's always a bad feeling about it.
The father watched Zhang Zhenying with great interest, while the mother focused on grilling the meat.
Jang Jin-young said, "Eun-seo told me a secret: Han Hee-joon and Oh Hae-won are really dating, and it's not just about them appearing on a dating show."
Dad asked, "Really?"
Zhang Zhenying nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. My colleagues at the AI R&D center heard Han Xijun say it with their own ears."
Zhang Yuanying doesn't remember what her father and Zhang Zhenying talked about afterwards.
When Zhang Yuanying heard that Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan were really dating, her mind went blank.
