“It’s Madam Jeon and…” A maid coincidentally ‘passed by’ Lisa’s side. She spoke a little and rushed forward to bow to the pair.
Lisa was holding onto a teacup. Her hand paused in mid-air for a moment.
The elderly man in his sixties was the old Jeon family’s mansion’s butler, Bai Mingde. The woman was Nancy’s adopted mother, Huang Zhishu.
As expected, the past events were repeating and they were attempting to mislead her.
Nancy must have arranged for this maid to appear. Otherwise, there was no reason for someone to appear by her side and to only finish half of her sentence. Unfortunately, she had failed to see through this in her previous life.
Nancy spoke up with some urgency, “We mustn’t disrespect the elders. Let’s go and bow to them.”
Lisa’s eyelids twitched a little. She sat without moving and noted internally that this was her second attempt to mislead her.
“Miss Lee, we cannot disrespect our elders.” Nancy spoke louder with ‘good intentions’. “My cousin, Jungkook, respects Madam Jeon very much. This is the same for Jeon… Aiyo, in any case, we cannot pretend not to see them.”
In their previous life, Lisa had naturally assumed that Nancy meant to address the second person as Grandfather Jeon.
The pitiful her had mistaken Nancy’s adopted mother to be Jungkook’s mother, and the elderly man to be Jungkook’s grandfather.
In a miserable sight, she had greeted Butler Bai Mingde. “Grandfather, I’m your future daughter-in-law. Look, do you think you’re satisfied with me?”
“And you, you’re Jungkook’s mom, aren’t you? Don’t even think that I will address you as ‘Mom’.”
All the maids by the side had laughed at her. It was only after she turned around that she noticed Jungkook supporting the actual Elder Jeon a short distance away. Furthermore, his actual parents were by his side as well.
At the thought of the humiliation from back then, Lisa resisted the urge to smash her head against a rock.
Nancy saw that Lisa was still sitting. She looked back and saw that Jungkook, Elder Jeon and his parents were approaching. She rushed to tug on Lisa. “Quick, let’s go greet them!”
Lisa tugged her hand back and remained seated. “Greet who?”
“Our seniors, of course.” Nancy spoke as though this was the way it was supposed to be. “As juniors, we cannot neglect our elders.”
She attempted to mislead her persistently.
Lisa continued to sip her tea as she responded indifferently. “You can go ahead.”
“You…” A hint of viciousness flashed past Nancy’s gaze. Why wasn’t this woman falling for her scheme?
Logically speaking, considering Lisa’s good relationship with Jungkook, she was supposed to be enthusiastic about pleasing the Jeon family’s elders.
By now, Jungkook had approached her along with Grandfather Jeon.
Lisa finally stood up. She bowed slightly towards the Jeon family’s elder, Jeon Chongshan, and smiled to greet him. “Nice to meet you, Grandfather Jeon.”
Jeon Chongshan was dressed in Zhongshan attire. His hair was combed backwards and his white moustache was long. His hair had also turned completely grey. Although his gaze was heavy from his years of experience, he appeared spirited and his eyes were sharp. It was obvious that he had been a legendary figure in his youth.
“You must be Lee Lalisa.” Jeon Chongshan’s tone was certain. He sized Lisa with his sharp gaze. He noticed that she was dressed appropriately and her appearance was outstanding. She moved gracefully like a noble.
Her appearance and the way she carried herself made her compatible for her grandson. Her family background was the only aspect that was slightly lacking.
Jungkook’s parents, Jeon Hong and Ye Yunzhi, stood behind Jeon Chongshan. His father appeared strict and intimidating, while his mother appeared dignified and elegant. With one glance, it was clear that they were outstanding individuals.
The two of them carefully sized Lisa up. They were surprised by her appearance but politely made sure that their gaze did not linger.
