My Hidden Omega Is Sweet

Chapter - 1

*
Fate took away everything from me in the previous life, probably because I am supposed to receive you, the person who is the best thing that has ever happened to me. — Lee Taehyung .
*****

“I can’t live much longer in my condition. If I miss this opportunity, I may not even be able to get a heart with Bombay Blood ever in my life. Mom, I do not want to die, I really don’t...”
???
???
“But he saved your life before...”
???
???
“So what? Mom, haven’t you understood what a despicable omega he is? he is not clean with his private life. he is so fickle and he even caused my most beloved man to run away from me! he owes me everything, and he can pay it back with his heart! That is his destiny, mom, I really don’t want to die, I really don’t want to leave you...”
On the sickbed of the Intensive Care Unit, Lee Taehyung, who had been stabbed and remained in a coma for two months finally heard a voice .
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
Whose voice was this?
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
Could it be Ling Hyunjin?
Ling Hyunjin suffered from congenital heart disease, yet due to the rare blood type, he had never been able to get a heart transplant. The doctor ascertained that he was not going to live past his 25th birthday.
Yet he himself also happened to share the same blood type.
Was he saying that he wanted his heart?
he used all of his strength to force his own eyes open.
He was not dead. He was not going to give his heart to him .
Song ha-yoon suddenly saw the Omega in the sickbed opening his eyes. She instantly turned pale .
Song Ha-yoon (Hyunjin
Song Ha-yoon (Hyunjin's Mother) (O)
“... Taehyung.”
Ling Hyunjin’s face changed instantly. He turned his head around to the Omega in bed when he heard the voice. Fright filled up his face.
Ling Hyunjin (O)
Ling Hyunjin (O)
When did he wake up? How much did he hear?
Lee Taehyung tried to open his mouth and he was about to speak when he found his throat too dry for him to utter a sound.
Since he had run into many hitmen before, the Lee Family had kept him protected.
He was barely able to make any friends and Ling Hyunjin was the only friend he had.
Since he had always been quite weak, he had tried all he could to satisfy his wishes by being a good brother, so that he would have nothing to regret in his life.
But at this very moment, he was trying to kill him so that he could have his heart?
Ling Hyunjin’s frightened look gradually faded away when he saw what Lee Taehyung looked like now. A sinister smile soon filled up his pale and sick face. Within one second, he grabbed the shot from Song Ha-yoon’s hand.
Ling Hyunjin (O)
Ling Hyunjin (O)
“Taehyung, you said that we are best friends, and that you can satisfy all of my wishes. I want to live on, so now help me, give me your heart.”
Song Ha-yoon (Hyunjin
Song Ha-yoon (Hyunjin's Mother) (O)
“Hyun...”
Song Ha-yoon tugged at her son, trying to ask him to give up.
Ling Hyunjin looked vicious as he stared at Lee Taehyung with a dark face.
Ling Hyunjin (O)
Ling Hyunjin (O)
“Mom, do you really want to give up your own Son for the sake of a dirty bitch? It is either him or me! I have no other way out!”
Ling Hyunjin interrupted Song Ha-yoon’s words and injected the drug into Lee Taehyung’s arm.
Ling Hyunjin (O)
Ling Hyunjin (O)
“If Lee Do-hyun knows that he has woken up, he is never going to let me have his heart.”
He would not be able to live and be together with Lee Do-hyun unless Lee Taehyung died.
Lee Taehyung wanted to live so much that he was trying to struggle out of the situation.
But he had been in a coma for two months and he was too weak to fight back.
He saw fierceness filling up Ling Hyunjin’s eyes and Ling Hyunjin was no longer as weak as he had always been. Then Ling Hyunjin injected the drug into his arm and pushed the plunger down slowly.
He was getting weaker and his eyes heavier. Before he was about to close his eyes, he seemed to see the door of the ward open, through which, a very handsome and elegant man in a protective suit walked in.
The figure he knew so well approached him little by little.
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
That was Lee Do-hyun! Lee Do-hyun, save me!
When he knew that Lee Do-hyun was here, Lee Taehyung felt hope coming to him. He tried so hard to make himself conscious.
Lee Do-hyun (E)
Lee Do-hyun (E)
“How is he? Still in a coma?”
Ling Hyunjin (O)
Ling Hyunjin (O)
“He is still in a coma. Mom and the other nurses had talked and they said that time is running out.”
After one moment of silence, a low and hoarse voice arose in the ward.
Lee Do-hyun (E)
Lee Do-hyun (E)
“Schedule the operation and move the heart.”
This one line broke Lee Taehyung’s last hope of surviving.
He became less and less conscious until he finally fell into the endless darkness.
.
.
He had been drifting in the darkness for a long time when Lee Taehyung suddenly opened his eyes.
He found that he was not lying in the sickbed any more, but was instead in a bedroom that was decorated with a cold color scheme. Someone was taking a bath in the bathroom attached to the bedroom.
He massaged his head and felt the wetness of blood.
As he looked down and found that what he had on him was nothing other than a silk sleeping gown that barely covered him up.
He did not dare to linger any longer in this strange room, so he got up with his hands holding the shelf and tried to stagger towards the outside of the bedroom.
The door of the bathroom opened and he ran into the arms of a man with water droplets on his upper body and a towel around the lower part of his body.
That man looked muscular and indeed had a sexy figure.
He raised his head and had a clear look at his face before he finally widened his eyes in fright.
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
This was... Jeon Jungkook?
What was he (Tae)doing here with him?
Jeon Jungkook was the manager of the Jeon Family’s Finance of the Hua Land, the top tycoon in business in the Hua Land.
And the Lee Family’s worst enemy.
Jeon Jungkook grabbed hold of the Omega’s thin arm and fury danced between his dark and profound eyes as he sneered.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“You are not giving up, are you?”
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
“Giving up what?”
Lee Taehyung struggled. His arm hurt a bit because of the grip.
What was going on? He was not in the hospital and he was with this man.
Jeon Jungkook’s face fell, he then dragged him (Tae) to the bedside and pushed him onto the bed.
That was a kind of action with ripping feelings, making Lee Taehyung let out a cry of surprise. he was getting paler and paler.
He (Tae) struggled hard, trying to escape from him yet was kept down in the bed.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook sounded chilly. “You have used this trick many times, and this is what you want, isn’t it?”
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
“No, it is not me, that is not what I want...” Lee Taehyung wailed.
Lee Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung (O)
What happened?
He was not killed by Hyunjin, but ended up with Jeon Jungkook. What had happened?
****
Some time later, she was woken up by a noise, and she couldn’t stay asleep any longer.
???
???
“Mu Weiwei, the doctor already said that you are out of danger, what are you still pretending for?”
???
???
“Grandma kept you here in the Jeon Family because she had pity on you! But you are so greedy as to want to become my brother-in-law!”
Lee Taehyung was confused when he saw this stranger in front of him as well as the weird environment surrounding him.
Before he understood what was going on, Lee Taehyung was pushed into the bathroom where he spotted his reflection in the mirror. He became so frightened that he started to breathe heavily.
It was a very young omega reflected in the mirror who was probably at the age of 18 or 19.
But this was not what he was supposed to look like. Then suddenly strange memories flooded into his brain.
He looked at the maiden in the mirror in surprise and he was hardly able to believe what had happened to him.
He was dead.
But he had been reborn into another person, someone who was called Kim Taehyung, a Omega who was 18 years old.
And what he was suffering from was because the original host of the body was a omega called Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung took advantage of Jeon Jungkook who got a bit tipsy from the banquet the night before and drugged him in the soup, trying to sacrifice himself to him (JK)with the sexy sleeping gown on him.
However, Kim Taehyung died before he succeeded.
And he was reborn, so that Lee Taehyung became the person who had to answer for everything Kim Taehyung had done.
Lee Taehyung stood still for a long time in front of the mirror, trying hard to calm himself down so as to accept what had happened to him.
With people outside the room urging him, he took a quick shower.
Then he picked a beige colored dress that only showed half of his shoulders from among all the other see through clothes that belonged to Kim Taehyung.
Han Ji-hyo stood behind his back and got very jealous when she saw the traces on him. However, she said with calmness .
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“Taehyung, did you really... sleep with Master?”
Lee Taehyung noticed Han Ji-hyo’s look in the reflection of the mirror.
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“Should be.”
If it all could have been restarted, he would have chosen not to have been forced to sleep with Jeon Jungkook.
Han Ji-hyo showed an expression with an affable smile when she saw him turning around.
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“Let’s go. The Old Lady and everyone else are already waiting downstairs.”
Even if he had slept with Jeon Jungkook, he would definitely be thrown out of the Jeon Family today.
Lee Taehyung pulled himself up and followed Jihyo downstairs so as to confront the Jeon Family and their interrogation.
Two people were sitting in the living room downstairs. One of them was an old lady with grey hair, she was the Old Lady of the Jeon Family. She let out a sigh of disappointment at the sight of him.
The other was the young man who had woken him up upstairs a moment ago. He was Jeon Yoongi, the second brother of Jeon Jungkook.
Jeon Yoongi had a twin brother called Jeon Suga, who was absent today.
The last man was Jeon Jungkook, who had... done that with him the night before. Jeon Jungkook sat still in a suit, giving out an air of arrogance as a nobility.
He understood the situation well, not only because he also shared the same memory with Kim Taehyung, but also because the Jeon Family was the worst enemy of the Lee Family who had been after the information on the Jeon Family all the time.
As he stood in front of the three of them, he felt as if he was about to be interrogated by three officers.
Jeon Yoongi, who had a hot-temper, started to demean him before everyone else.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Grandma took you into the Jeon Family, only because your grandfather saved our grandpa and because you lost your family. We gave you food and a roof over your head, but you are not satisfied. You even want to marry my brother so as to become Lady Jeon. You have dreamt too big.”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Kim Taehyung, nothing will change just because something happened last night.”
Lee Taehyung had no words to talk back. He had been the weak one in the incident that happened the night before, but now it looked as if he had stained Jeon Jungkook instead.
Seeing that Lee Taehyung was staying silent, Han Ji-hyo defended her in a very sweet tone.
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“Second Master, Taehyung has suffered a lot from losing his family. he didn’t mean to do what he did.”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“he means everything! he has not stopped a day after he moved into the Jeon Family. He keeps pestering my brother and he has broken father’s antique...” Jeon Yoongi sneered.
Lee Taehyung did not talk back at all. Instead, he was being very observant. Jeon Jungkook checked the time and said to Old Lady,
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Please get rid of him before I return, or I will do it myself.”
Lee Taehyung was so frightened that he shrank his neck from feeling the killing intent hidden between his words. Jeon Jungkook was about to go out of the house and head to the company when Han Ji-hyo received a call. Then she stopped the two of them, looking serious.
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“Master, something wrong has happened to the Rose, the painting we auctioned for Mr. Wilson.”
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
face sank slightly. “What is it?”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo threw an embarrassed look at Lee Taehyung, bit her lips and said, “Assistant park was busy before, so I brought the painting back with me. On the way back I went to pick up Taehyung who... accidentally spilled the coffee on the painting...”

Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
The moment Jeon Yoongi heard this, he burst out in anger and bellowed furiously, “Kim Taehyung, we spent tens of millions of yuan on getting the painting and it has everything to do with our important collaboration with Wilson Group, and you spilt coffee on the painting?”
Jeon Jungkook did not show his emotions like Jeon Yoongi, yet coldness had already crept over his features.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Anyway to repair it?”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo shook her head helplessly. “I have sent the painting to the experts, and they called to say that the repair was impossible. Mr. Wilson is coming to the capital tomorrow and he and his wife love this painting. What are we going to do?”
Lee Taehyung calmly stared at Han Ji-hyo who was speaking and slightly sneered. As far as he remembered, the painting was placed in the back seat and she had purposefully asked Kim Taehyung to hold it for her. And, Han Ji-hyo had bought her the coffee.
It was Han Ji-hyo who had bought him the coffee and the coffee was spilled because Han Ji-hyo had suddenly braked. And now, it seemed that Kim Taehyung had to take the full responsibility. She was the bad one who tried to offload the blame on Kim Taehyung. What a tricky woman!
Ever since Kim Taehyung moved to the Jeon Family, she had been trying to approach him like a sweet big sister. Kim Taehyung was too young and innocent to tell that Han Ji-hyo was just setting him up.
Han Ji-hyo told him that Jeon Jungkook liked sexy Omega, so he dressed himself up in a very mature way, covering up his originally beautiful youthful face. As a result, he looked just like a staff member in a night club whose job was to drink with the old and the rich.
Han Ji-hyo told him that if the Feng Shui of the Jeon Family could be changed, his relationship with Jeon Jungkook could also be changed, which was why he went to move the things in the house and ended up breaking the antique vase of the Jeon Family.
One step after another, Kim Taehyung gradually became the Omega who was detested by the entire Jeon Family.
Kim Taehyung might be young and brainless so he did not understand this woman’s trick. But he was Lee Taehyung and he was not stupid. Han Ji-hyo had not been helping him all this time and instead, she was trying to get Jeon Jungkook and the Jeon Family to dislike him so that he could be thrown out in the end.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook threw a cold look at Lee Taehyung. “Kim Taehyung, regardless of everything else, you must answer the consequences.”
Old lady Jeon
Old lady Jeon
The Old Lady threw a look at Lee Taehyung who was standing in silence. “Taehyung, did you really... ruin the painting?”
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung nodded obediently, “Yes, I spilled the coffee.”
It had not been Kim Taehyung’s intentions but the coffee spilled because of him. Old Lady let out a sigh of disappointment. What happened last night had already annoyed Jungkook, who didn’t ask him to take responsibility because of his grandma. What he had asked him (Tae) to do was to move out of the house.
But now it was a matter of a company’s collaboration. Jeon’s Enterprise and Wilson Group had been in communication for months and it took them ages for Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to come to the country for detailed communication regarding the collaboration.
Since the couple were very interested in Priam’s paintings, they spent a lot of effort trying to find one of the works, so as to give to the couple as a present. And now, this painting, which had been so hard to acquire, was ruined by Kim Taehyung’s coffee.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook threw a look at Han Ji-hyo. “Send the painting back.”
Han Ji-hyo instantly made a call. Within an hour’s time, the ruined-painting was placed in front of Lee Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook sounded fierce. “You have two choices – first of all, repair the painting so it becomes perfectly fine. Secondly, find another painting by Priam.”
Lee Taehyung blinked and looked sinister yet intelligent at the same time.
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“Any third choices?”
Jeon Jungkook looked completely chill as he stared at him (Tae).
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Or, take responsibility.”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“Master, Taehyung didn’t mean it. Priam has few to no paintings out there that can be found. We spent months trying to find such a painting. How will he be able to get one right now?” Meng Ruya stood up and continued to plead for him.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Ji-hyo, stop defending him. If he doesn’t take responsibility, he will end up in jail.” Jeon Yoongi snorted.
Han Ji-hyo threw a look at Jeon Jungkook’s cold expression and showed an invisible smile. Kim Taehyung was certainly going to be kicked out of the Jeon Family this time. She couldn’t even move into this house, what made this little Omega become a resident anyways? Lee Taehyung was not frightened by the situation. he threw a look at the painting placed in front of him.
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“Actually, you should all thank me.”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Thank you?”
Jeon Yoongi got so annoyed that he burst into laughter, thinking that this Omega must have gone crazy.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Kim Taehyung, you just ruined a famous painting we spent tens of millions on, and you want us to thank you? Is it me or you who is the maniac?”
He ruined a painting worth tens of millions of yuan and he was still cheeky enough to ask them to thank him instead?
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“Of course you are the one who is a maniac.” Lee Taehyung squinted at him.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“You...”
Lee Taehyung looked at the oil painting and it was one of the Rose Garden series paintings by Priam, a famous European painter during the 19th century. The rose in the painting looked pretty, yet because of the coffee that permeated the canvas, the entire painting looked very dim and both the original beauty and the artistic conception were no longer there.
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“You spent tens of millions of yuan upon a forgery. Tell me, are you a maniac or not?”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“A forgery?!”
Jeon Yoongi became so speechless when he heard him(Tae) trying to defend himself with unreasonable excuses.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“You have no knowledge of painting or experience in painting, how would you know if a painting is real or false?”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“The painting is bought from the original auction platform and the expert has made an evaluation upon it too. It can’t be a forgery.”
She found the painting and she went to the auction to buy the painting, and now he said that this painting worth tens of millions was a forgery? he was bringing Han Ji-hyo down! Jeon Jungkook looked even colder.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“You better have a perfect explanation for your discovery.”
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung looked at him and said one word after another clearly, “Priam’s paintings are often done with a technique of thin painting so the result turns out to be transparent or semi-transparent, and his paintings often look very lively. This forgery looks very similar, yet it is not at all done by Priam.”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
(light smile) “I have learnt painting for so many years so why didn’t I see anything of what you just said?”
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung smiled and said straightforwardly, “If you still do not believe me, go and find Mr. Ming Zongyuan. He is an expert for Priam’s paintings and the director of National Association of Fine Arts. He should be able to tell whether the painting is real or fake if he can take a look at it.”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Ha, so you will never give up until you are on the verge of death!”
Jeon Yoongi let out a cold laugh. He had never seen such a cheeky person before.
He did not object to him (Tae)moving into the Jeon Family or pestering his brother all the time, he was young and innocent, but he was trying to find an unreasonable excuse for what he had done wrong at this moment!
Old lady Jeon
Old lady Jeon
Old Lady took a look at Jeon Jungkook “Even if you want him to take responsibility, you will have to be completely convinced. Ask Mr. Ming to come here and take a look at it.”
Jeon Jungkook made a call to his assistant to ask Ming Zongyuan to come over to take a look at the painting.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi snorted. “Alright, let’s ask Mr. Ming to take a look. When the results come out, let’s see what more you can say.”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“If it is real, I will make compensation at any cost.”
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee Taehyung laughed sinisterly, “What if it is a forgery?”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“If it is false, I will call you dad.” Jeon Yoongi snorted.
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“Very well! Don’t break your promise.” Lee Taehyung got up and said to Old Lady.
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“Grandma Jeon, I will go pack.”
Grandma Jeon nodded. Because of what had happened the night before, Jungkook was never going to allow him to stay here any more, no matter whether the painting was fake or real. Lee Taehyung went upstairs to pack up Kim Taehyung’s stuff. Having done the packing, he did not hurry downstairs but sat quietly in the room calmly, trying to think about what he should do with his life.
After a long time, Jeon Yoongi went upstairs, pushed the door open with displeasure on his face and said with a sneer .
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Kim Taehyung, Mr. Ming is here, and it is too late for you to hide.”
Without much protest, Lee Taehyung opened the door and followed Jeon Yoongi downstairs with luggage. On the first floor, an old man around the age of 70 years old was talking with Jeon Jungkook and others.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Mr. Ming, Assistant park must have told you why we asked you to come here. Please take a look at this painting by Priam to see if it is a forgery or a real one.”
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“A painting by Priam?” Ming Zongyuan became very surprised.
As he was talking, he pulled out his glasses and put them on.
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“There are very few paintings by him out there, and you are even able to find one?”
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Bought it from an underground auction platform.” Jeon Jungkook pointed at the painting on the table. “You are an expert of Priam’s paintings, so please take a look at it.”
Ming Zongyuan got very excited when he heard that it was a painting by Priam. He came to the table and took a closer look at the painting when his face suddenly sank.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“How is it? It is real, isn’t it?” Jeon Yoongi just couldn’t wait to get the answer.
Ming Zongyuan removed his glasses and frowned deeply as he turned to Jeon Yoongi and the others with displeasure on his face .
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“Are you guys trying to joke with me?”
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook squinted. “Are you saying that this painting is... a forgery?”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi was startled, leaned forward at the painting and said unconvinced, “Mr. Ming, please take a look at the painting carefully, what about me getting you a magnifier to take a closer look at it? The painting cost tens of millions, how could it be a forgery!”
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“Tens of millions?”
Ming Zongyu was not even bothered to take another look as if one more look would ruin his eyes.
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“Who is such a maniac as to spend tens of millions upon a forgery?”
Han Ji-hyo threw a look at Jeon Jungkook and panicked slightly. She forced a smile out of her and said in a trying tone .
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“Mr. Ming, please take a closer look at it. You only looked for a second at the painting and concluded that it is a forgery, isn’t that too reckless?”
She was the one who had helped with the painting and she would have to be responsible if that was really a false painting, otherwise she would end up giving Kim Taehyung the credit instead of defiling him!
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan sounded very impatient. “I don’t have to take a closer look at it! I have seen too many of Priam’s paintings and I can tell the forgery from the authentic with one look!”
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“Also, the real painting is the favorite collection of one of my fellows, and I saw this painting in their home. They are not a poor family and they wouldn’t have sold the painting to anyone else.”
He was so fascinated by Priam’s paintings that he became very displeased when he ran into these forgeries. Jeon Yoongi had gathered up tons of words just to belittle Lee Taehyung after Ming Zongyuan’s evaluation, but now, when the painting turned out to be a forgery, he had to keep all of those words down. Han Ji-hyo, who had spent tens of millions of yuan upon the forgery, dared not utter a single word when she found herself in a disadvantageous position.
Jeon Jungkook looked up at Lee Taehyung who was walking downstairs. It was impossible to read what he was thinking at that moment.
Old lady Jeon
Old lady Jeon
“Taehyung, how did you know that the painting is false?” Old Lady asked curiously.
Everyone turned to Lee Taehyung after Old Lady’s question.

Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
“My mother used to like oil painting and she often took me to exhibitions abroad. I have seen other paintings by this artist so the difference was very easily noticed.” Lee Taehyung explained in a very brief way.
As a matter of fact, the real version of this painting Rose was already purchased by the Lee Family eight years ago. It had been hung in the living room of the Lee Family ever since. Mother Lee had always been interested in Priam’s paintings so she had many paintings by Priam at home as collections. Ming Zongyuan had been to the Lee Family as a fellow painting hobbyist and that was where he saw the real version of this painting. Ming Zongyuan could not help but throw a few more glances at the Omega who was standing to the side with his luggage when he heard that he spotted the forgery first.
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“You can see it clearly, little Omega. Although it is a forgery, the painter did make it look like an authentic one. I would not have been able to tell the difference within such a short time if I had not seen the authentic one first.”
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
smiled, “Just a coincidence.”
It was just a coincidence that he had also seen the authentic version before as well.
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Ji-hyo, you are just being so careless. How could you make such a mistake upon this important event. If Taehyung had not noticed that it is a forgery in time, and the painting had been delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson tomorrow, Jeon’s Enterprise would have lost a great deal!”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“I... I didn’t expect that either, the middle man guaranteed that it was an authentic painting!” Han Ji-hyo looked guilty and muttered with explanation.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook glanced at his assistant park sung-hoon . “Go and call the lawyer and find the middle agent and the auctioneer. They must pay back what we have lost. That is your job, do not leave it to anyone else.”
This command was directed towards park sung-hoon and also towards Han Ji-hyo as well.
Park sung-hoon (JK
Park sung-hoon (JK'S Assistant)
Nodded “Yes, Boss. I am on it.”
Jeon Yoongi (A)
Jeon Yoongi (A)
“Brother, let Ji-hyo and myself go together. Park sung-hoon has to host the meeting in the afternoon.”
Since the painting was a forgery, he had to call Kim Taehyung dad according to the bet they had set up just now. So he must take off as soon as possible. Han Ji-hyo glared at Lee Taehyung next to her. She had planned to punish him so she could be thrown out of Landscape Villa completely, but what she had not expected was that not only Kim Taehyung was not set up, she had lost her credit instead.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook poured a cup of tea for Ming Zongyuan in person. “Mr. Ming, this is an emergency for us. We are in desperate need of a painting by Priam, so could you please... spare one for us?”
Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson were deeply interested in Priam’s paintings, yet they were unable to find an authentic painting by Priam at such a short notice. Mr. Ming had many collections by Priam. As long as he could spare one painting for them, the emergency would be solved.
Ming Zongyuan
Ming Zongyuan
“Definitely not! They are all of my precious treasures and I will not spare any no matter how much you try to pay me.”
Ming Zongyuan instantly took off without bothering to drink the tea when he heard that he wanted to get a piece of treasure from him. Jeon Jungkook was very aware that it was impossible to make Ming Zongyuan change his mind so quickly. So he stopped asking him.
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Park sung-hoon, see Mr. Ming off.”
After Ming Zongyuan left, Jeon Jungkook looked at Lee Taehyung with a look of surveying. After a moment, Jeon Jungkook said slowly .
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“You are right about the painting, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can stay here.”
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)
Instantly, “I get it. I will leave this place right now and I will never show up in front of you again .”
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
“...”
******
Jinxiu Compound.
Jinxiu Compound belonged to the Jeon Family, and it had always been vacant. After Lee Taehyung moved out, he lived in Jinxiu Compound for the time being. It was a new apartment, not as luxurious as Landscape Villa. But it was well-decorated and the necessities for daily life are available. Lee Taehyung cleaned the room, unpacked his luggage and rushed into the shower. he removed the make-up that made him look so old and changed into a T-shirt and a pair of jeans.
After taking a rest at the new apartment for a while, he changed his wavy styled hair into a straight style. Then he went out to buy some daily clothes and necessities. After shopping and returning home, he received a call from Old Lady, who asked him for a favor from Ming Zongyuan whom he met the other day.
*****
At the headquarters building of Jeon’s Enterprise.
The Deputy President Jeon Yoongi had just accompanied Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to their hotel and he was very anxious as he came back to the company.

“This couple is so difficult to deal with. We have made the biggest compromise! What more do they want?”
Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson arrived in the country the day before and the meeting had been going on for two days, yet the collaboration was still not yet confirmed. This was a deal worth tens of billions of yuan and it would have a great deal to do with the expansion of Jeon’s Enterprise in the S Land. The loss would be tremendous if the deal was off.

“Still didn’t work out with Mr. Ming?” Jeon Jungkook looked extremely displeased.
Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson asked about a painting by Priam, and apparently, that was the key to this entire matter.

Sighed anxiously, “That old dude is as stubborn as a rock! I almost kneeled down to kowtow to him! But he still does not want to spare a painting.”

Jeon Jungkook Pinched his eyebrows. “Prepare some first-rate tea. I will visit him tomorrow.”
Jeon’s Enterprise had been preparing for the collaboration with the Wilson Group for a long time and nothing must go wrong.

“I don’t think he will spare us a painting, even if you call him Dad.”
The two were in the middle of sinking into anxiety when Han Ji-hyo suddenly came up to them.

“President Jeon, Mr. Ming has been persuaded.”

Stood up excitedly “Really?”
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Nodded with a smile. “Mr. Ming agrees to spare one painting by Priam and he even invited Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to have a visit to his villa tomorrow for a look at his personal collection.”
Jeon Jungkook’s expression relaxed as he nodded.

“You can go back to rest, the meeting will be tomorrow afternoon.”
Han Ji-hyo must have spent a great deal of time with Mr. Ming so that she looked quite tired with black rings emerging under her eyes.
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“I will keep you company tomorrow. Mrs. Wilson would need a girl to keep her company when you men are talking business.”
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Jeon Jungkook (E)
Thought for a second. “Go home and rest today, we will need you again tomorrow.”
Han Ji-hyo smiled brightly and left the office of the President. Jeon Yoongi felt his chin and mumbled curiously,

“How on earth did she manage to persuade that old dude? He was so stubborn with us!”
He had been to the Ming Family several times these past two days and he had said whatever he could just to persuade Ming Zongyuan to spare one painting. Yet he failed each time. Ji-hyo was indeed a professional PR manager who was able to deal with such a difficult man.
On the afternoon of the following day, Jeon Jungkook accompanied Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to Ming Zongyuan’s house for a visit. Ming Zongyuan was a significant figure in the art field of the Hua Land, and in common with Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson, he was also a fan of Priam. They had a very nice conversation and he had not only given one painting by Priam to the couple, but also invited them to have an afternoon tea at the Ming Family’s house.
Mrs. Wilson spoke highly of the desert the Ming Family prepared for her and when she was about to leave, she brought with her a piece back to the hotel. For the whole time, until the evening when Mr. Wilson got into the car, he spoke in Chinese that was barely up to standard.

Mr. Wilson : “Mr. Fu, we got... way too many surprises today and I hope that we can have a pleasant collaboration together.”

“I do look forward to our collaboration.” Jeon Jungkook said with a light smile.

Mr. Wilson : He shook hands with Jeon Jungkook “Also, the dessert is very tasty, my wife loves it.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)
“Then see you again tomorrow.”
Jeon Jungkook shook hands with him and left after they both went into the car.
Jeon Yoongi, on the other hand, was so disappointed when he saw that Mr. Wilson’s assistant took away half a piece of the cake. It was way too delicious for him who had a sweet tooth. He had planned to get the dessert for himself after the meeting, but Mrs. Wilson was one step ahead of him. That made his heart ache.
Seeing the couple’s car going away, Han Ji-hyo said with a smile .

“Judging from what Mr. Wilson said just now, the deal should be on?”

“They have taken our painting and our food! Of course it has to work!” Jeon Yoongi snorted.

Jeon Jungkook threw a side look at Han Ji-hyo. “You did well today.”

Han Ji-hyo smiled sweetly. “I caused all the trouble, and I am just making it up to you.”
Jeon Jungkook (E)

“You have been working very hard these two days so feel free to take a few days off.”
The PR Department did not have to be involved when it came to the collaboration meeting that was going to happen later on.
Han Ji-hyo (O)
Han Ji-hyo (O)
“I can take the holiday after the signing is done. I may need to take care of Mrs. Wilson in the later processes.”
She had established a proper image in front of Jeon Jungkook today and she must take this opportunity to propel their relationship. Mrs. Jeon adored her, and as long as she could, she would always make an effort on her relationship with Jeon Jungkook. She was definitely going to be Mrs. Jeon. It was a good that the stupid Kim Taehyung had discovered the forgery and stopped the embarrassment in time, so that she ended up persuading Mr. Ming to spare a painting and arranging the afternoon tea for them. In this way, she got all the credit and created an excellent impression upon Jeon Jungkook.

Nodded “Very well.”

Threw a side look at Jeon Yoongi. “Have you got the things for Mr. Ming prepared?”

“Of course.”
Jeon Yoongi took out the antique from his car and followed his brother into the Ming Family’s house to express their gratitude. In the Chinese-style garden in the Ming Family’s villa, the group found the old man who was feeding the fish.

“Mr. Ming, we are very thankful for what you have done for us. Please accept our gift.” “The couple changed their attitude tremendously after they saw your painting and ate your cake.”
Jeon Yoongi was very excited. The collaboration would make sure that the Jeon’s Enterprise could find a position in S Land and it was very important for them. Ming Zongyuan fed the fish, rubbed the hands and said .

“No need for the present. Kim Omega has already given me the thank you gift and he delivered the cake too. You should thank him instead.”
