Unfortunately, the past was set in stone.
In the end, it was Somi who delivered the news of Lee Xuan's death, as well as the grey hair he left behind when he had been alive.
They quickly arrived in front of Dong Lee's hospital room.
Somi was always prepared for unexpected circumstances. This time, however, she was filled with regret.
If she had known that causing Chongshan to fall ill would not only fail to stop Lisa's wedding, but also draw Jingyuan into meeting Father Lee, she would never have taken this risk!
However, the people she was dealing with were all extraordinarily intelligent.
Based on Lee Jingyuan's character, the more she interfered with this, the more insistent he would be about meeting Dong Lee.
Thus, Somi did not dare to say a single word to persuade him not to visit Father Lee.
Right now, what options did she have to stop the two of them from meeting?
Suddenly Somi held her stomach. Her complexion was pale and she muttered. "Aiyo..."
Lee Jingyuan turned to her in confusion. "What's wrong, Somi?"
"Grandfather, my stomach really hurts..." She appeared to be in a lot of pain, and it did not seem as though she was acting.
No matter how much Lee Jingyuan disliked his only grandchild, he would still worry for her. "Grandfather will bring you to a doctor immediately..."
Somi had intentionally done this to draw him away. Still, she insisted. "But, you were just about to visit Jennie's father..."
"There's no hurry." Lee Jingyuan shook his head. "Your health is more important."
Somi lowered her head as her eyes glinted with viciousness and satisfaction. A moment later, she had a helpless smile on. "Both my mother and my adopted brother aren't around. I can only trouble you, Grandfather."
Jingyuan seemed to have understood. Besides Kai and Huang Zhishu, the Manoban family would not care if Somi was dead or alive. He immediately became angry. "Don't worry Somi, you still have your grandfather!"
"Grandfather..." Somi leaned her head against Jingyuan's shoulder. He supported her towards the doctor's office.
Lee Jingyuan took a few steps before he turned back to speak to Jennie. "Jennie, I'm really sorry. I'll visit your father another time."
"It's alright." Jennie shook her head.
She took in Somi's feeble back view and had a feeling that Somi did not wish for Lee Jingyuan to meet her father.
A hint of a suspicion rose in Jennie's heart.
A moment later, she received a message from Somi: [Don't assume that you can grow close to my grandfather just by addressing him as 'Grandfather Lee'. Let me tell you, Jennie, no matter how much you flatter my grandfather, you'll never be able to obtain any benefits from the Lee Group!]
If Jennie had been anyone else, she most definitely would have chosen to avoid Lee Jingyuan after reading this message to avoid causing herself troubles.
Jennie had suffered too much in the past and never knew who exactly schemed against her. She could only vaguely guess that it had been Somi.
Thus, she enjoyed going against Somi. The more Somi tried to keep her away from Lee Jingyuan, the more she would do the exact opposite!
Jennie stayed in her father's hospital room for a while before she headed to the thirty-eighth floor to inquire about Somi's condition.
She wanted to know if Somi had been pretending to be ill earlier.
The doctor had diagnosed Somi with acute abdominal pain and said it was likely she had eaten something wrong. He had prescribed her some medicine and told her to rest at home.
It turns out she was not pretending to be ill. Could it be that Jennie was thinking too much?
After this matter, Lee Jingyuan brought Somi to the Lee family's villa to rest.
Somi laid on the enormous bed in the main bedroom while Lee Jingyuan stood by her bedside. He took in the sight of his granddaughter's pale complexion and spoke in heartache. "Somi, ah. You have to take good care of your health. You are the only family member that Grandfather has right now."
