Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

612.Scheme Seen Through

"Uncle, Auntie." Jennie bowed slightly to both of them.

Truthfully speaking, in this life, she disdained bowing towards anyone.

However, they were Lisa's direct relatives. It was alright to give them this respect.

"En." The couple nodded slightly as a response.

Lisa frowned. "Jennie, when you meet my family in the future, it will suffice to simply greet them. There's no need for you to bow. My woman doesn't have to lower her head towards anyone!"

"Uh..." Jennie responded with some awkwardness. "I was being polite earlier."

"Of course." Lisa added overbearingly, "It's also alright if you don't wish to greet them."

"I respect everyone from your family." She smiled lightly.

Lisa approached her side and held her shoulder. "As a sign of my respect towards you, I brought my family here to meet you."

He always acted as he intended and was not afraid of insulting the Manoban family's elders to their face.

When Chongshan heard this, he did not become angry. Instead, he was very satisfied at the sight of his only grandson. "Lisa, you're just like your grandfather when I was young."

Somi saw that Lisa had brought the elders here to meet Jennie and was clearly intending on spoiling her to death. A hint of sourness filled her heart. However, she maintained a dignified expression to bow towards Chongshan, Hong and his wife.

Hong and his wife appeared indifferent. Only Chongshan responded with a light nod.

"Cousin." When Somi greeted Lisa, her voice was especially soft. It was akin to that of a little rabbit that drew one's doting.

Lisa glanced at her coldly. "Why were you pulling Jenjen earlier?"

"Oh... I..." Somi was about to respond when Jennie pointed at Butler Mingde and Huang Zhishu. "She asked me to bow to both of them."

Lisa's expression instantly turned heavy. "Somi, who do you think you are? You asked my woman to bow to a butler and your mother?"

"I..." Somi did not expect Jennie to say this. Her complexion instantly turned pale.

When Chongshan, Hong and Ye Yunzhi heard this, they turned and saw that Huang Zhishu was actually supporting the butler. The three of them were intelligent people and immediately understood the matter.

Under their gaze, Huang Zhishu rushed to release Butler Mingde. She approached them quickly. "I'm sorry. Somi, that child, is too filial. She wanted to come and greet me, but she did not intend for Miss Kim to misunderstand."

"Is that so?" Chong Shan's expression was stern and he clearly did not believe her.

He spoke in a voice that was cold and firm despite his age. "Daughter-in-law, I feel the need to remind you that the Manoban family has never allowed outsiders to interfere with the matters of its bloodline. My elder son, Manoban Pu, took you as his wife. Although the two of you did not manage to conceive, my younger son, Hong, and his wife already had lisa at the time. There was absolutely no need for the both of you to adopt any children. Although you both insisted on bringing Kai and Somi in, we won't mistreat you now that Pu has passed. The adoption contract written back then is clear as day. Kai and Somi have absolutely no rights to succession. If they are unhappy with that, they may leave the Manoban family and receive a sum of money in exchange. Simply because they refuse to leave, it doesn't mean that you and your children can step past your boundaries. Do you understand?"

Huang Zhishu was in rage internally. However, she nodded understandingly on the surface. "Yes."
