Chapter 31 What is your relationship with Xiao Ran?
Upon hearing Chen Ran's name again, Kim Tae-yeon's emotions, which she had spent a month trying to process, began to surge once more.
A familiar figure reappeared clearly in her mind, and her eyes subconsciously warmed slightly, instantly becoming misty.
But his eyes showed more confusion and bewilderment.
"Why...why would you ask that?"
As far as she knew, Jessica and Chen Ran didn't know each other at all, and had never even met.
Why would they suddenly come to her door to ask about this?
Unless this is very important to Jessica.
Kim Tae-yeon didn't think this woman would suddenly come looking for her after they hadn't seen each other for several years because of something unimportant.
Is there something between Chen Ran and Jessica that she doesn't know about?
Faced with Kim Tae-yeon's question, Jessica crossed her legs and calmly replied:
"Chen Ran is my friend."
Her relationship with Chen Ran was too special, and it would be difficult to explain clearly to people who had never been to that house, so she simply used a vague explanation.
"friend?"
Kim Tae-yeon frowned slightly, her doubts deepening: "How come I didn't know that Xiao Ran and you were friends?"
Xiao Ran...
Tsk, that sounds so affectionate.
Jessica's eyes flickered: "Believe it or not, Chen Ran was indeed my friend. I came here today to find out how he died."
Kim Tae-yeon didn't say anything, she just quietly looked at Jessica.
Jessica met her gaze calmly, showing no sign of anything amiss.
"Do you really know Xiaoran?"
"Of course, why would I ask you these questions if I didn't know him?"
When did you meet?
Jessica's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
I'm the one asking you how you are, so why are you asking me instead?
"This doesn't seem to concern you. You're no one to Chen Ran, just a friend."
In terms of how close she is to Chen Ran, she seems to be a little closer to him than Kim Tae-yeon.
Kim Tae-yeon is just someone who doesn't dare to confess her feelings.
Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and pursed her lips.
He's just a friend...
That's absolutely right.
She gave a bitter smile, lowered her eyes slightly, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Xiao Ran's death was nothing unusual; it was just a simple accident. A person with a prior drunk driving conviction was driving under the influence again that night and accidentally hit Xiao Ran as she was crossing the road."
Jessica frowned slightly: "At which intersection was he hit? What kind of car hit him? What was its license plate number? What was the driver's name? And exactly when was he hit?"
A barrage of questions came at her like a machine gun, forcing Kim Tae-yeon to look up at Jessica again.
She suddenly felt like she was giving a statement at a police station.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Jessica replied, then quickly frowned again: "You don't know this, do you?"
"What if I say I don't know?"
Kim Tae-yeon instinctively felt that something was wrong.
No, something is nine out of ten wrong.
From the moment Jessica arrived, something seemed off.
Someone she hadn't contacted for years suddenly showed up at her door, asking about someone who had absolutely no connection with Jessica.
If Kim Tae-yeon hadn't known Jessica quite well, she would have suspected her of being a criminal suspect.
"What?! You don't know?!" Jessica jumped up from the sofa instantly.
This is the most important news, and Kim Tae-yeon didn't even know!
Looking at Kim Tae-yeon, she felt a surge of anger rising within her, and she almost couldn't resist the urge to hit her.
"You're Chen Ran's closest friend, yet you don't even pay attention to the police investigation?"
Faced with Jessica's anger, Kim Tae-yeon retorted expressionlessly:
"You're also Xiaoran's friend, but you didn't even attend his funeral. Do you have the right to criticize me?"
Something's really wrong; Jessica's reaction is so strong.
Could it be that there's some kind of relationship between her and Xiaoran that I don't know about?
"I..." Jessica's anger faltered.
When Chen Ran passed away 25 years ago, she didn't even know him, so why would she attend his funeral?
It's been a few years, and Kim Tae-yeon has become quite sharp-tongued; she even knows how to roast her now.
"What exactly is your relationship with Xiaoran?" Kim Tae-yeon asked again.
"I told you, Chen Ran and I are friends." Jessica sat back down, crossing her arms.
Kim Tae-yeon clearly didn't believe her: "Then tell me, when and where did you meet Xiao Ran?"
"Hey! Kim Tae-yeon!"
Kim Tae-yeon didn't say anything, she just looked at Jessica.
Jessica's chest heaved.
It's such a simple thing, why is this woman asking so many questions?
The two just looked at each other without saying a word.
The room immediately fell silent.
Just when Jessica was starting to feel overwhelmed...
Didi
Suddenly, a password input sound rang out at the main entrance.
A few seconds later, Yoona, wearing a white dress, appeared in their line of sight.
As soon as Lin Yoona entered, she noticed the almost frozen atmosphere in the living room.
Did the conversation fall apart?
Hey~
She was worried that the two unnies might start arguing while chatting, so she came to check on them.
Yoona smiled and looked at Taeyeon: "Unnie, there was a bit of traffic on the way, I'm late."
"It's okay, have a seat," Kim Tae-yeon replied calmly.
"it is good."
Lim Yoona walked over and sat down between Jessica and Kim Tae-yeon, looked at them from left to right, and said:
"Unnie, what were you guys talking about just now?"
Kim Tae-yeon did not speak.
Jessica crossed her arms, glanced at Kim Tae-yeon, and said:
"I came here to ask Kim Tae-yeon about Chen Ran, but she knew nothing about it. She didn't even know as much as I found out myself, and in the end, she ended up asking me about it."
"I was just asking how you and Xiaoran met. Is that a hard question to answer?"
"It's not hard to answer, but I just don't want to say it, is that not allowed?"
Hearing Jessica's somewhat sarcastic tone, Kim Tae-yeon also got a little angry.
"you..."
"Unnie~"
Sitting down, Yoona spoke up at the right moment, interrupting Taeyeon, and sighed helplessly to herself.
So many years have passed, how come these two unnies are still like this, neither of them willing to give in to the other?
"Yoona, tell me, I just want to know how she and Xiaoran met, is there anything wrong with that?"
"No problem," Lim Yoona quickly reassured her.
Actually, she was quite curious about how Jessica and Chen Ran met.
Two people who had no connection before suddenly seemed to have become very close.
Jessica unnie was even willing to seek out Taeyeon unnie for him, which clearly indicates that their relationship is not ordinary.
"Jessica unnie~"
Yoona turned to look at her unnie, her tone slightly coquettish, her eyes full of pleading.
Please give way to Taeyeon unnie.
"Oh..."
Jessica scoffed, "Fine, then I'll tell you."
She realized that Kim Tae-yeon had sensed something was wrong and wanted to find out about her relationship with Chen Ran.
Sure enough, in their eyes, her closeness with Chen Ran was still too unusual.
If she doesn't give a clear explanation, Kim Tae-yeon probably won't budge.
Since that's the case, she'll give them an answer.
Jessica looked at the two of them and said naturally:
"Chen Ran and I met in bed some time ago."
