"Jennie is very important to our Lisa, but we also know that this shouldn't be the reason why Jennie must marry Lisa. We asked Professor Wang to come here. We didn't want to use this to gain sympathy. We just want to prove to you that there is a special friendship between these two children. They got married because of this friendship. "
"Of course, if you don't agree with this marriage, we fully understand. But if you're willing to give Lisa a chance, our Manoban family will be very grateful. I and Lisa's father will definitely treat Jennie like our own daughter and protect her like Lisa."
"And we can assure you that if one day Jennie feels tired and doesn't want to stay with the Manoban family anymore, she can leave at any time."
Lisa's parents and Professor Wang have left for some time, but Min Ho and her wife, Ji Hyun's moods wouldn't calm. They sat idle as their minds constantly echoed the words Lisa's mother said before she left.
They were both parents, and they naturally appreciate Lisa's parents' love for Lisa. Not to mention that Lisa was almost their child as they watched her grow up. Even if she was a strange child, they were also moved when they saw Lisa's care for their daughter in the treatment videos. Lisa is an autistic patient, but she had the courage to step out and embrace the world.
Obviously, Lisa's family, like them, didn't think this marriage will last for a long time. They were ready for Jennie to leave at any time. Min Ho and his wife were afraid that Jennie will be hurt in this marriage, but Lisa's parents weren't afraid of Lisa being hurt.
Lisa's mother last remarks almost gave Jennie all the dominance in this marriage. With Lisa's affection towards Jennie, she will never break up this marriage, but Jennie could leave at any time. This was equivalent to them acquiesced to the harm that Jennie might do to Lisa. What great trust, what great sincerity. Min Ho only felt heavy.
"Yah, you guys are home?!" Jennie cried out in fear. She just returned home and found the house was completely dark. She thought her parents had gone to school to watch the students study in the evening. Who knew that when the lights were turned on, the two sat on the sofa and scared her into a cold sweat.
"Why didn't you turn on the light, it scared me." Jennie covered her small heart and collapsed on the sofa weakly.
Min Ho glanced at the scene of her daughter throwing her slippers to the other side of the living room and her mood was even more complicated. How could this girl, who was usually unsightly at home, how did she force her way through billions of people's worlds and ran into Lisa's world? Why was Lisa attracted by this girl to the point of looking out of her world?
"Mom, what are we eating for dinner? I've been running around all afternoon. I'm so hungry now." This afternoon, she and Rosie looked at more than a dozen places but didn't find a suitable one. At last, they were so tired that they weren't hungry. But when she returned home, Jennie had some appetite.
"I'll cook you some noodles." Ji Hyun stood up helplessly.
"Thank you, mom. Two eggs."
Ji Hyun went to the kitchen, sorted the vegetables she bought earlier and put them away in the refrigerator. Then she simply cooked three bowls of noodles.
After eating the noodles, Jennie also recovered some strength. She took the initiative to stand up to help clean up, washed the dishes, and finished cleaning the kitchen. Jennie wiped her hands before walking out, before she went cold when she suddenly heard her father, "Wait a minute, make an appointment with Lisa's family so we can formally meet."
"?!" Jennie was stunned for a long time before returning to her senses. "Dad, do you agree with my marriage with Lisa?"
"Humph!" Min Ho humph and went into the study and didn't look at Jennie, as if it wasn't him who just spoke.
"Mom?" Jennie went and glanced at her mother again.
"Go and make an appointment." Ji Hyun smiled. When Lisa's parents left in the afternoon, she knew her husband would agree.
"Mom, thank you." Jennie ran to hug her mother tightly. No matter in her last life or this life, whether it was her decision to stay abroad for professional development or deciding her own life-long event, her parents always supported and love her without reservation.
-
Back in the room, Jennie was going to call the Manoban family and tell them her parents agreed. But when she opened her cellphone's address book, Jennie's fingers stopped on Lisa's mother's contact for a moment, then suddenly swiped and finally pressed Lisa's contact.
During the day, Lisa responded in a timely manner on WeChat and this was the same when she answered the phone.
Before Jennie could turn over her thoughts, the phone was connected
"Jennieya." Lisa's voice was soft and deep. It sounded different from communicating to her face-to-face. Lisa's voice at this time seemed to be whispering in her ear.
"Lalisa, I have something to tell you, and I need you to convey it to your mother." Jennie said.
"Lisa."
"En?" Jennie froze.
"Yesterday ... you called me Lisa." There was an inconspicuous stubbornness in Lisa's voice.
"..." Jennie couldn't help but hold her forehead in response. Wasn't this guy symmetrical, why did she particularly mind how she called her? Although she was helpless in her heart, Jennie followed Lisa's wishes to change the way she addresses her: "Lisa."
"En." Lisa replied seriously at first, then asked, "What did you want to convey?"
"My parents agreed to our marriage. Please let aunt and uncle make an appointment." Jennie said.
"OK." After speaking, Lisa turned off the phone.
She neither expressed joy nor surprise and was even somewhat impolite. Jennie was slightly uncomfortable. However, on second thought, this was quite a good response with Lisa's personality. How could she expect her to be as courteous as ordinary people.
Jennie was relieved over there, but Lisa was stunned. she held her cellphone and spent more than ten minutes in her room digesting the news. Then she turned around without saying a word and went downstairs.
"Little tw...two?" The first person to discover Lisa was Uncle Jung who was about to go upstairs and deliver fruit to Lisa. The three Manoban family members who were discussing something in the living room immediately turned to look at him.
Lisa ignored Uncle Jung and focused going down the stairs. She walked step by step steadily and slowly. If someone measured the time, they would discover that the time Lisa spent at every step was the same.
They didn't dare interrupt her, instead they held their breaths and waited for her to come down. Until she reached the last step, Lisa suddenly looked up and her eyes burned as she stared towards the direction of the living room.
Father Manoban, Mother Manoban and Jisoo, the three immediately straightened their backs nervously. Jisoo held floral tea in her hand that she wanted to drink, but she didn't dare put it down, as if she was afraid that the sound would stimulate Lisa and could only hold it upright the entire time.
Did you come to us? Yes.
Until Lisa stopped in front of the three of them, the three didn't dare say so.
"Lisa?" Lisa suddenly came to find them, and Go Eun's excited voice trembled. She asked carefully, "Are you looking for us?"
Lisa blinked, glanced down at the cell phone that she held in her hand, then her brain seemed to make the connection and replied, "Jennie said her parents agreed and to let you make an appointment."
"Oh, Jennie's parents agreed, what?! They agreed?" Go Eun was too excited and didn't pay attention to her volume.
"Be quiet, you're scaring Lisa." Father Manoban and Jisoo both reminded her nervously.
Go Eun was also startled. She covered her mouth and looked at Lisa fearfully. She was afraid that Lisa, who wouldn't easily approach and communicate with them, would be scared away.
"Make an appointment." Lisa wasn't afraid. Not only wasn't she afraid, but even repeated her request clearly.
"What?"
"Make an appointment?" Lisa frowned.
"Oh, oohhh~ Okay, mother understands." Go Eun quickly agreed.
Lisa looked relaxed, then continued to stare at Go Eun, not talking or leaving.
"..." Go Eun was confused and looked at her husband and eldest son in doubt.
"Make an appointment." Jisoo reminded.
Haven't you already agreed? Go Eun was surprised at first, but fortunately, she was quick to respond with her high EQ and immediately understood: "Make an appointment, yes make an appointment. Make an appointment now."
Go Eun pulled out her cellphone on the spot, and while checking the date, she said to her husband and son: "When can you guys go?"
"I'll ask my assistant." Gong Yo called the assistant.
"I'll ask the secretary." Jisoo called the secretary.
"Are you free on Saturday?" Go Eun asked.
"No, I have an appointment with Dong Wook on Saturday to discuss cooperation." Gong Yo said.
"Sunday?"
"I'm going to Busan for a business trip on Sunday." Jisoo replied.
"Push it!" Go Eun frowned. Was it more important to go to her son's marriage or on a business trip?
"Push it all!" When the madam spoke, the father and son didn't dare retort. At the same time, they understood on the spot and gave an order to the assistant/secretary on the other end of the phone and hung up simultaneously.
"Then Saturday or Sunday?" Go Eun asked again.
"Either."
"Then Saturday, Hyatt Hotel, I'll book a private room." Then, Go Eun found the Hyatt Hotel Manager's phone number and booked Saturday for dinner on the spot.
"Yes, reservation for this Saturday, at 7 pm, at the Hyatt Hotel for the full moon room." Once Go Eun confirmed, she couldn't wait to tell Lisa the time and place.
The information was completely received, and Lisa was satisfied. She turned around on the spot and left without a trace.
The three members of the Manoban family held their necks and watched Lisa walk back to the bedroom. They looked at each other with incredulous faces.
"Did Lisa take the initiative to speak to us just now?" Go Eun couldn't believe what just happened.
"En and also said a few words." Gong Yo was equally excited.
"Every response only took five seconds." There was joy on Jisoo's face. It can be regarded as the effect of Jennie's treatment.
...
Back in the bedroom, Lisa sat in a chair on the balcony, turned on her cellphone, then edited the message she just received via text and entered it into the chat box. She read it three or four times, then sent the message once she verified that the punctuation was correct. After sending it, she silently stared at the cellphone, waiting for a reply.
However, Jennie seemed to be busy and didn't reply back immediately. Fortunately, Lisa wasn't in a hurry. she held her cellphone and waited patiently.
Finally, about twenty minutes later, the cellphone lit up, as well as Lisa's eyes.
Jennie: Did you already make the appointment so soon?
Lisa: En.
Jennie: OK, I'll tell my parents later.
Lisa: En.
Jennie: See you on Saturday.
Lisa: En.
Jennie: Can you use other words besides en?
Lisa stared at this message for about ten seconds, then suddenly opened the dictionary option: Okay, yes that's right, okay got it, I understand, see you then, even if we don't see each other, don't give up and leave, OK, seeyou...
Originally, Jennie just wanted to tease Lisa, but after looking at the long series of alternative words to en, she immediately burst into tears and sent a long string of ellipsis to express her complicated emotions.
Lisa: I don't understand.
Without words, Lisa couldn't understand the meaning of this message from Jennie.
Jennie: Praising the cute you.
Lisa's eyes lit up again: Thank you.
"Puzi~~" Jennie's hair was wet when she saw Lisa's reply in her bedroom, then fell straight into bed.
Why didn't she notice that Lisa was so cute before?
As soon as this thought emerge, Jennie was surprised to find that since she went to university, she rarely paid much attention to Lisa. If she added both of her lives, it was almost eight years.
