Chapter 21: Jinx

Eunha held back her tears, lifted her head, and forced a smile on her face. "No, it's not Lisa's fault."

But, the more she said this, the more Zhou Manli assumed Lisa had bullied her.

Zhou Manli immediately had the urge to go out and speak to Lisa, "I'm going to go ask that brat whether she's trying to rebel!"

"Mom–"

Eunha quickly grabbed onto Zhou Manli and shook her arm, "I really didn't argue with her. I simply missed you so much that I couldn't hold back my tears."

Even if she talked about the incident at the mountain resort, what could she change now? She could get Song Rui and Zhou Manli to side with her, but there was still a Yoongi. If she wanted to kick Lisa out of the family, it was impossible with just a few words.

She had no evidence.

Since that was the case, why should she talk about it?

"Oh, my precious darling! I also missed you!" Zhou Manli breathed a sigh of relief as she hugged Eunha with a proud and happy smile.

Unlike Lisa, who was a jinx, Zhou Manli believed that Eunha was a lucky star that God had gifted to her. Growing up, she was well-behaved and she always tried hard in everything she did. Moreover, her grades were good and she was particularly lucky.

In the past, whenever Zhou Manli played mahjong, she used to have particularly bad luck with her hands. Then, one time, she decided to bring Eunha with her. At first, she didn't notice any difference. It wasn't until her hands got smoother and smoother, and she didn't lose a single game, did Zhou Manli begin to notice the reason. After that, she was skeptical but she took Eunha with her to play a few more times. Sure enough, she won 9 out of 10 times!

Adding to that, she began to feel as though Eunha could foresee disasters. One time, Song Rui had to go out to a business meeting, but little Eunha cried and sulked and did not let him go. Later that day, they discovered that there was a multiple car accident on the way to Song Rui's office and a large number of people were injured and dead. According to the time of the accident, if Song Rui had insisted on leaving that day, he would have driven right into it.

Every time she thought about that incident, Zhou Manli felt lucky that she gave birth to a good daughter.

Although this ability seemed to weaken with age, it didn't prevent Eunha from becoming Zhou Manli's most beloved daughter; she was nothing like Song Yaoyao the jinx. Back when Lisa was born, she had caused Zhou Manli to lose an excess of blood and almost lose her life! With her around, nothing good ever happened!

Eunha was much better.

After the mother and daughter chatted in the room for a while, Eunha suggested, "Mom, I'll go fetch Lisa some food. After a long car ride, I bet she must be hungry."

When she heard this, Zhou Manli furrowed her brows, "She's not mentally disabled. If she's hungry, can't she find food for herself?

"She has to trouble you with everything. What a useless piece of trash!"

A smile flashed across Eunha's eyes. Still maintaining her soft and gentle voice, she said, "Oh, Mom, don't say that about Lisa. She's actually really good!

"I'm going to go. You should head downstairs and keep Mingyu company. He was accompanying me the whole way back."

At the mention of Mingyu, Eunha's cheeks turned red and she blinked her eyes shyly.

Zhou Manli smiled in understanding. She nodded dotingly and touched her daughter on the nose, "I'll do as you say, okay?

"Hurry and get the food to her. After you're done, come and chat with Mingyu! Mingyu is a good child. You need to be careful!"
