CEO's Gossipy Wife and His Family Ep 2

...

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[At first, Director Tang's desire for power remained unquenched, which is why he arranged for Tang Jun to test Secretary Jin, to see if she could be poached. Little did he know he'd end up sacrificing his son. If he knew his son had turned into such a sycophant, he'd... Haha!]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Now he's strongly supporting his son in this matter, probably still thinking his son is winning people over, so he's here to back him up.]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[He lost his son and is now helping the other side count their money!]

Director Tang, who had been standing behind his son as solid as a mountain, suddenly shuddered as he caught Jungkook's penetrating gaze. Director Tang instantly became smug, puffing out his chest and sucking in his stomach.

It seemed that Jungkook was indeed in the wrong about this matter. Look at him, unable to save face after being berated by his precious son. Perhaps they could use this opportunity to poach Secretary Jin!

Director Tang

💭Let's see who'll dare call his son a good-for-nothing, spoiled rich kid after this!

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

"Hey! Jeon Jungkook, are you going to let this ore bully Secretary Jin?!" Tang Jun, seeing that Jungkook hadn't reacted and his expression kept changing, couldn't help but shout angrily.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

"Don't forget, only Taehyung has met that company's Vice President Li! There are photos and videos as proof!"

Jungkook, who had accidentally overindulged in the drama, quickly coughed and adopted a serious tone, turning to Taehyung.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

"Why did you meet him?"

The last time he asked Taehyung, he had been hysterical and hadn't given a proper answer. This time, Jungkook felt that even if Taehyung still didn't cooperate, at least he could find out the truth through other means.

Taehyung blinked, feeling that things were getting complicated. he hadn't expected Jungkook to truly intend to investigate thoroughly. In terms of character, Jungkook was indeed quite good. He was trying hard not to wrongly accuse anyone.

But this wasn't what Taehyung wanted. he wanted a divorce! Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly met Jungkook's gaze. His sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, deep-set features, were like a perfectly proportioned model. His looks were no less than any big celebrity, especially when he looked at him intently. For a moment, it was as if he could captivate one's soul, leaving Taehyung stunned for a second.

Without those two hundred million, Jungkook's face was still quite deceptive. At least Taehyung had been fooled for a moment. However, at this moment, his handsome face was full of gravity, his whole demeanor exuding an air of seriousness that left no room for jest.

That gaze, which seemed to see through to his inner thoughts, startled Taehyung, causing him to blurt out involuntarily.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

"It was work arranged by my agent."

As soon as he said it, Taehyung regretted it so much he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭Had he fallen for the handsome man trick?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭Why did he answer honestly? This was going to complicate things even further!

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Before anyone could react, Tang Jun sneered, "That's a pretty stupid excuse. Has your agent gone mad, arranging work for you with a rival company?"

Jeon Corporation had its own entertainment division, with a studio specifically serving Taehyung. As an agent employed by Jeon Corporation, it was impossible to accept work from a rival company. Unless it was deliberate. Tang Jun didn't give Taehyung a chance to speak again, immediately having someone contact Taehyung's agent, Sister Wei.

The call was quickly answered, and the situation was explained.

Extra

Sister Wei immediately responded, 📱"What? I never made such an arrangement! Mrs. Jeon, you can't falsely accuse me like this! I'm just a small fry, I really can't bear such a heavy responsibility."

A mere agent would certainly not dare to wrongly accuse the CEO's wife. No one noticed the stiffness in her tone, they only felt that everything had been confirmed. Secretary Jin's lips curled into a secret smile.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun said smugly, "Next time you lie, don't say something that can be so easily exposed."

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Then he mouthed to Taehyung "Idiot."

This time, Taehyung was truly annoyed.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[ You are a truly idiot]

He had originally thought it was just ordinary framing, and that small fries like Sister Wei had also been set up. He hadn't expected the plot to be so extensive, even involving Sister Wei. Jungkook had also thought of this point and was considering having someone investigate Sister Wei later when he heard Taehyung's inner thoughts.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[I want to see how much money they paid her to frame me.]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

"...."

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭Could he see whatever information he wanted?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[What!]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Is my innocence only worth a 2,000 red envelope?]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[This is impossible, absolutely impossible!]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[I must have missed a zero!]

Jungkook was also stunned, his head full of question marks. Just... 2,000 yuan?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Wuwuwu, it really is 2,000 .... Eh? Wait, ah?! I see...]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭What what?

After waiting for a long time, Taehyung kept exclaiming. Jungkook's originally cool temperament was about to be driven to irritation by Taehyung.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭Just say it! If you don't say it, how can I prove your innocence?

Fortunately, Taehyung still unconsciously recognized the situation.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[No wonder she didn't want money. It turns out that agent Sister Wei is Secretary Jin's sister-in-law. They're actually family, of course they'd present a united front.]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[So Secretary Jin had planted a chess piece by my side long ago?! They even pretended not to know each other before. Impressive, impressive!]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭Why are you praising her!

Upon hearing the truth, Jungkook was suddenly quite shocked. So Secretary Jin had made so many arrangements behind his back so early on! At this moment, a subordinate was carefully asking if they could hang up the call with Sister Wei, since everything that needed to be said had been said.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook's tone changed as he spoke into the phone, 📱"Since the stories don't match up, I will arrange for people to carefully gather evidence. If agent Wei has no physical evidence, then we will thoroughly investigate your network of connections."

Instantly, everyone present looked at Jungkook in shock.

Extras/unimp charcters

Everyone: 💭Things have come to this point, and he's still nitpicking?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭Damn! How can Jungkook stumble upon the truth so accurately by accident?

And no one noticed Secretary Jin's panic and the sharp intake of breath on the other end of the phone.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Jun continued to charge forward for love.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook calmly said, "When stories don't match up, even the police wouldn't be biased in their investigation. Taehyung's network of connections is simple, I know all of it, and before this, it was impossible for him to have any connection with the other party. But I'm not sure about this agent."

Extra

📱"Mr. Jeon... how could I possibly have any connection with a rival company?" The agent said anxiously.

Indeed, there wasn't any, but as long as they investigated, they would discover her relationship with Secretary Jin. And this relationship was unknown to others, which would suggest intentional concealment, and since it was involved in this incident, it would be hard to explain.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook directly said coldly,📱 "Wait for further notice."

He hung up without giving the agent a chance to argue. The next second, his cold gaze swept towards Secretary Jin. Secretary Jin, who was already panicking, was suddenly startled and took a step back.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun immediately stepped forward to protect her, angrily saying, "I see you're determined to defend this ore today. I now suspect you're planning to make Secretary Jin take the fall for him!"

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

"But unfortunately, Secretary Jin has never had any contact with people from rival companies! Those two days, she was either at the company or at home!"

Secretary Jin also calmed down a bit, looking at Jungkook with a grievance in her heart, but her tone was firm and unwavering.

Secretary Jin/Jin Yue

"If Mr. Jeon doesn't trust me, I'm willing to accept any investigation!"

According to general investigation procedures, they would definitely need to investigate Secretary Jin's recent whereabouts and all her electronic devices. From Tang Jun's statement earlier, it could be confirmed that Secretary Jin had not met anyone from the other company.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭But for Secretary Jin to dare to say this, it meant she hadn't left any evidence.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭Could it be that no clues were left on her electronic devices either?

Jungkook was frowning in thought.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[I was wondering why she was so confident, so this is how it was designed!]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭Stop marveling and just say it!

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[The email was sent on the morning of the 12th, but if they check her computer, even if they use technology to recover all deleted records, they won't find anything.]

Jungkook's heart tightened. How was this possible!

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Because she actually used that idiot Tang Jun's computer to send it. Tang Jun trusts her completely, never guards against her in the office, and even his computer password is her birthday.]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[This way, even if she's suspected, nothing can be found on her computer.]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Even in the worst-case scenario, if the rival company betrays her, the investigation would only lead to Tang Jun.]

Jungkook's expression had completely changed, his unfriendly gaze sweeping from Secretary Jin to Tang Jun.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[However, she left one flaw. Probably because she was too confident in her position in the company.]

Jungkook immediately focused on listening, wondering what the flaw was. But Taehyung didn't continue his train of thought.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭["Forget it. I know these secrets but can't speak them out. In the end, apart from Sister Wei possibly uncovering a few issues through investigation, it's of little consequence to Secretary Jin. Let's just end this pointless charade quickly."]

Jungkook's eyes flickered slightly as he inwardly scoffed. Indeed, it was a farce!

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

"Call the IT department up here. We need to examine Secretary Jin's electronic devices."

Secretary Jin hadn't expected Jungkook to actually embarrass her on the spot, and her face turned green. She pressed her lips tightly together, her expression as aggrieved as could be. She gazed at Jungkook with resentful eyes, as if he were a heartless man.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun, even more enraged, rushed to defend the damsel in distress, "You're really going to be this ruthless? This is simply an insult to Secretary Jin's character!"

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

However, faced with Jungkook's genuinely cold demeanor and icy gaze, Tang Jun's anger subsided quickly, and he said, "If nothing is found, you must apologize to Secretary Jin."

Though the others didn't speak up, their expressions showed their indignation. This incident had already caught the attention of the entire company, and many from the leadership had arrived. After all, high-level talent like Secretary Jin was very important.

They also thought Jungkook had gone mad. Everyone in their circle knew that Jungkook could do without Taehyung, the Mrs. Jeon who only caused trouble and had no value, but he absolutely couldn't do without Secretary Jin. However, Taehyung suspected they had gathered more or less to watch the drama unfold. Just look at those gossipy little glances

After all, one was Jungkook's wife in name, and the other was Secretary Jin, who had managed to stay so close to the usually aloof Jungkook for so long. People had probably even placed bets on this battle. Taehyung, who usually only watched the drama, never expected to become part of it. Really, the joke was on him!

Taehyung could only glare at Jungkook with resentful eyes. While Jungkook only provided his back, straight as a pine tree, for Taehyung's resentful attacks. Although his ears were nearly deafened by Taehyung's constant muttering.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭Was he always like this?

Soon, the investigation results came out. Unsurprisingly, there was no evidence of wrongdoing.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun immediately became smug, "Jeon Jungkook, do you still want to cover for Taehyung?"

Jungkook felt the gaze on his back becoming fiery.

Secretary Jin/Jin Yue

"Mr. Jeon, now you must believe me, right?" Secretary Jin's eyes were brimming with tears, as if she might cry at any moment.

Jungkook lowered his head to glance at his phone before looking up at Secretary Jin. In an instant, his cold gaze gave Secretary Jin an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

Everyone thought the matter was settled, but they saw Jungkook stop talking to Secretary Jin and turn directly to look at the large screen behind him. Confused, they followed his gaze and saw that a surveillance video had suddenly appeared on the screen.

The moment the image appeared, many people recognized it as the entrance to Tang Jun's office, and the video showed Secretary Jin entering Tang Jun's office. Everyone was puzzled. It felt like a sudden plot twist. Among those present, only Secretary Jin's face changed dramatically, her body chilled, her pupils shaking.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun pointed at the screen and shouted angrily, "Jungkook, what are you up to? You're checking surveillance footage of Secretary Jin delivering documents?"

Jungkook ignored him and just coldly watched the screen. At this point, the cunning Director Tang's expression became peculiar when he saw the time on the surveillance footage. When he saw his son leave the office alone, leaving Secretary Jin behind, his face turned ashen in an instant.

Soon after, Secretary Jin left, and Tang Jun returned happily with a fruit platter, but not seeing anyone, he lost his temper. As everyone was still confused, the screen switched to a recording of computer operations.

Surprisingly, the computer desktop was filled with beautiful photos of Secretary Jin. The crowd's gaze towards Tang Jun became strange, and Director Tang felt like he was about to cough up blood.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun, embarrassed and angry, jumped up and shouted, "Jeon Jungkook, you even sent someone to mess with my computer?!"

Indeed, a technician had cracked Tang Jun's computer password, attempting to recover all deleted email correspondence. Tang Jun had just finished shouting when he felt Secretary Jin sway beside him.

Tang Jun immediately became concerned for the beauty, still not realizing the problem at hand. Meanwhile, Director Tang's face could barely contain his fury. Many people in the room seemed to realize a possibility, and the atmosphere instantly froze. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, as if you could hear different people's heartbeats.

Until the recovered emails containing confidential documents were displayed, with the sending time prominently enlarged on the screen. When compared with the time in the surveillance footage, who couldn't see the truth...Well, there was still someone!

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

Tang Jun stared at the screen for a moment, then immediately berated Jungkook, "You must have gone crazy, actually fabricating such a video to slander and cover for Taehyung..."

Before he could finish his tirade, his father slapped him on the back of the head. Tang Jun fell forward, crashing to the ground.

Tang Jun/Director Tang Son

"Dad!"

Director Tang

"Shut your mouth!" Director Tang said, then quickly turned to Jungkook and the other leaders, saying, "As you can see, my son has nothing to do with this. He was used! He's just an idiot!"

At this point, he had no choice but to admit his son was a fool. If he didn't distance himself, in case they suspected Tang Jun and Secretary Jin were working together, he wouldn't be able to explain it away no matter how hard he tried.

Director Tang

"Secretary Jin, how vicious your heart is! Using my son and framing Mrs. Jeon! Mr. Jeon, how has he wronged you that you would betray him like this!"

Director Tang wished he could dig up some gossip about love and hatred to divert everyone's attention. At this moment, all eyes turned to Secretary Jin. There was shock, disbelief, resentment, and fury. Especially the CEO's Office Staff, who were all trembling with anger, their eyes red. They had just confidently vouched for Secretary Jin and accused Mrs. Jeon.

Now they were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves. Given Mr. Jeon's personality, he would surely fire them all. They had truly been ruined by Secretary Jin!

But now they didn't dare say a word, only trying to minimize their presence as much as possible. At this point, Secretary Jin's face was completely drained of color, her breathing rapid, her whole body shaking.

She looked at Jungkook in despair, still unwilling to give up without a struggle.

Secretary Jin/Jin Yue

"Jungkook, I didn't..."

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

"Agent Wei is your sister-in-law. You conspired with her to frame Taehyung, didn't you?"

Jungkook's words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back. The whole room was in an uproar.

Secretary Jin/Jin Yue

"How did you... Did you already..." Secretary Jin's spirit was completely crushed.

Everyone else also looked at Jungkook in shock, as no one could have imagined things would turn out this way. Taehyung's brain had stopped working since the video first appeared.

It was one thing for him to see all the truth himself, but how could Jungkook be so incredibly perceptive? When his agent was mentioned, Taehyung finally reacted.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Could it be that Jungkook already knew Agent Wei's identity, so he suspected Secretary Jin? But how did he think of Tang Jun?]

Director Tang was also deeply frustrated, wondering how the investigation had led to his son. Jungkook glanced at the dazed Taehyung. He couldn't very well say in public that all the truth came from Taehyung's inner thoughts.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

"Let's set aside the matter of the agent for now. Once you became a suspect, it was natural to review all surveillance footage of your independent activities and investigate all electronic devices you might have accessed."

Secretary Jin hadn't deleted those surveillance videos that could become evidence, which was the flaw Taehyung had mentioned.
