“Thank you, Mom.” Jennie thanked her politely after accepting the gift.
Madam Manoban was speechless.
Her heart ached.
She really liked that bracelet.
“My mom really does love this bracelet; she has it on all the time.” Lisa smiled and said, “You’ve fair skin and jade would look good on you. I’ll get you a pair of jade earrings and necklace another day for you to wear it as a set.”
He wasn’t loud, but Madam Manoban and Krystal heard him clearly.
Madam Manoban was getting jealous now. This was the son she raised, but he’d never even been this thoughtful towards her. “It’s true when they say a son forgets his mother once he has a wife. Well, when have you gotten me such things?”
Lisa smiled. “Mom, are you getting jealous of your daughter-in-law? Didn’t you always say you wished to bear me a younger sister? I don’t have one now, but you can consider your daughter-in-law your actual daughter. Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m doting on your daughter?”
Madam Manoban had no idea how to respond to him.
She was about to say that she didn’t have an intention to see her as a daughter.
But given Lisa’s temper, it was best she didn’t mention anything negative about this woman.
If she embarrassed Jennie, it would only strain her relationship with her son.
She wasn’t so foolish.
“There’s a jade auction next month, I think the design of that jewelry set suits you. You painfully gave away your beloved bangle to Jennie, so I will make it up to you by getting that set for you. How’s that?”
Madam Manoban and Manoban Yuncheng were very loving. Although she was already over 40, Manoban Yuncheng still showered her with love, as if she was a little princess.
Hence, Lisa followed in his footsteps and usually pampered Madam Manoban too.
He agreed to get the jade jewelry for Madam Manoban the moment she brought it up.
“Well, you said it yourself.” Madam Manoban felt her importance in her son’s heart and didn’t feel so upset anymore.
“Mm, I said it.”
Lisa smiled and asked Jennie, “Are you tired, do you need to sleep? I’ll take you to the bedroom for a rest?”
Jennie wasn’t tired, but she wanted to get out of this spot.
Although Old Madam and Madam Manoban seemed like easy-going people, she didn’t feel comfortable being in front of the elders.
She quietly responded, “Mm.”
“Alright, I’ll take you to the bedroom for a nap then.”
Lisa turned to Old Madam and Madam Manoban. “Mom, Grandma, you’ve seen her now. It’s about time you had your naps, right? I’m a little tired too, I’ll catch some sleep now. Call me up when it’s time for dinner.”
With that, he was about to leave with Jennie.
“Lisa.”
Krystal’s voice rang out.
Lisa furrowed his brows slightly as he turned to face her.
Krystal stood up and bit her lip. “What happened the other time… I apologize to you on Mino's behalf. He was too impulsive that day. In fact, he regretted it the moment he left.”
Lisa eyed her for a few seconds as he frowned even harder. When he spoke, there was some coldness in his voice that wasn’t there before. “He should be the one to apologize on his own. Also, he shouldn’t be apologizing to me, but to Jennie.”
Krystal’s expression turned a little awful when she noticed his cold attitude.
She could sense it.
Ever since they left on a bad note the last time, Lisa had become much colder towards her.
He hadn’t even greeted her just now.
In the past, he would never be like this.
His attitude made Krystal feel sad and frightened, and her resentment towards Jennie deepened.
She felt like Lisa’s changes were all because of Jennie.
Before Jennie, they had gotten along so well.
But now that this woman appeared, everything had changed.
“Lisa, are you still angry? It’s all my fault…” Krystal blinked and her eyes reddened. “I told you to come out for dinner that day. If it weren’t for my welcome dinner, it wouldn’t…”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
She was, after all, a girl he had known for more than 20 years. Lisa’s tone was softer as he gazed at her. “I don’t blame you, so don’t overthink it.”
“Really?” Krystal felt wronged. At the thought of how Lisa had ignored her just now, she wanted to cry out of grievance. “I thought you were still angry with me.”
Lisa was especially patient towards Jennie, but his patience didn’t last long for others.
After comforting Krystal with a few words, he was about to leave. “I already said so, so don’t think too much about it. This is a matter between me and Fourth Bro, don’t get involved anymore.”
After that, he held Jennie and turned to leave.
Krystal stood on the ground, watching him walk away slowly with red eyes.
He had really changed.
Even if he said he wasn’t angry with her, his attitude towards her was still a little alienated.
He was deliberately alienating her.
Before, he had never been like this.
Was he deliberately alienating her to show Jennie?
Did Jennie make him do that?
In just one minute, Krystal had a thousand thoughts in her mind.
In the end, she put all the blame on Jennie.
Lisa had changed after getting married.
If he hadn’t gotten married, if he was still single now, they wouldn’t have become like this. They would get along as they did in the past and live happily and harmoniously.
Her resentful eyes couldn’t be concealed.
For the first time in her life, she was jealous of a woman.
“Krystal?” Someone sounded confused behind her. “What happened between you and Lisa?”
Madam Manoban looked confused after seeing the scene just now.
Blinking, Krystal hurriedly concealed the emotion in her eyes and turned around. She smiled casually to Madam Manoban. “Aunt Mo, it’s nothing. It was just a little misunderstanding. I’ve already cleared the air with Lisa.”
Madam Manoban looked at her red eyes and frowned. “What happened? What did Lisa and Xiao Gong argue about? Was their fight serious?”
The Old Madam heard their conversation and glanced at them.
“What happened between Lisa and Mino? What are you talking about?”
“It’s nothing, Grandma.” Krystal turned around and smiled at the Old Madam’s questioning eyes. “It’s a small thing, you needn’t worry about it. It’s late, Grandma. You have the habit of taking a nap, right? I’ll help you back to your room to rest.”
After staring at her for a few seconds, the Old Madam nodded. “Okay, I’ll go back to rest.”
Krystal immediately went over.
“Grandma, let me help you.”
The Old Madam had a little problem with her legs and couldn’t walk very well.
Krystal walked over carefully to help her stand up and reminded her softly, “Grandma, be careful.”
The Old Madam got up and glanced at her, her eyes laced with a trace of regret and pity.
This girl from the Jung Family was indeed good.
In terms of family background, appearance, and personal abilities, she was a good match with her precious grandson.
And this girl was affectionate and filial.
As elders, they liked her very much.
The Jung and Manoban families were good friends and the elders of the two families also had a good relationship. They already had the idea of an arranged marriage in the beginning.
The Jung Family was naturally very satisfied with Lisa, and the Manoban Family was also very satisfied with Krystal.
But…
No matter how optimistic and satisfied they were as elders, they were helpless if these two juniors didn’t fancy each other.
In particular, her precious grandson was a very opinionated person. He might compromise on some unimportant things, but it was absolutely impossible for him to compromise on major things like his life-long happiness.
Since he didn’t fancy Krystal, nobody could force him or compel him to.
But they all knew Krystal’s mind.
This girl had liked their baby grandson since young.
Although she hadn’t said it, she was aware that true feelings for someone couldn’t be hidden.
They were just afraid that Lisa’s sudden marriage had hurt her.
But the Old Madam was a very clear person. Even if she liked Krystal, since her precious grandson was already married, no matter how satisfied she was with Krystal, she still wouldn’t consider letting her be her granddaughter-in-law.
…
Because of the Old Madam’s legs, the floors leading to her bedroom had been installed with elevators.
She stayed on the fourth floor.
After coming out of the elevator, Krystal helped the Old Madam back to her bedroom.
“Krystal, I have a few words to say to you.”
The Old Madam stood at the door, holding Krystal’s hand with a serious expression.
Krystal smiled obediently and nodded. She said in a soft voice, “Yes, Grandma. I’m listening.”
Staring at her, the Old Madam finally sighed faintly and said, “Krystal, Lisa’s mother and I have always liked you. For so many years, I have always treated you as my granddaughter. I originally thought that since you have grown up with Lisa and you’re the only person of the opposite sex that he can approach, you would be the one he marries. I thought you would be his first choice.”
Startled, Krystal’s expression changed, and she bit her lips. “Grandma…”
“Good girl.” The Old Madam patted the back of her hand lightly. “It seems like you’re not destined to be my granddaughter-in-law. I know you still have Lisa in your heart, but he’s married now. As you have seen, he likes Jennie very much.
“I’ve raised Lisa and I understand him. The person he himself has decided on is the person he wants to live the rest of his life with. Krystal, you’re a very outstanding girl. Other than Lisa, I’m sure there are other boys worthy of your liking.
“You should stop wasting time on Lisa and look at the other boys around you.”
In the past, Old Madam had stayed quiet despite knowing that Krystal’s feelings were unrequited.
But now, it was different.
Her grandson was married and had a wife.
She didn’t think it was good if Krystal continued liking her grandson.
Thus, the Old Madam had said this in a roundabout way. Now that Lisa was a married man, she should avoid suspicion.
Krystal was clever and naturally understood her meaning.
Her expression changed several times after hearing this.
Old Madam had persuaded her with good intentions.
But to Krystal, her words stung.
She couldn’t listen to a single word.
She didn’t think the Old Madam was doing her good. On the contrary, she felt like the Old Madam was too biased.
They all knew that she had grown up with Lisa and had all thought she would marry him in the future.
Everyone thought they would be the best match.
So why should she back off now?
Just because Lisa was now married?
But Madam Manoban had said herself that divorce was possible.
Nothing was eternal.
Furthermore, she didn’t think Lisa and Jennie’s marriage would last long.
They were from two different worlds, so how many common topics could they possibly share?
Even if their relationship was good now, it was just a momentary sense of freshness.
How many days could it last after this freshness?
Thus, she would not back off.
She could wait.
She believed that they would divorce in a year at most.
But it was only a year, so she could afford to wait.
“Grandma, I understand.” Krystal appeared obedient and sensible on the surface, even though her mind was thinking the opposite. “I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, Lisa is already married. I’ll know my limits and won’t bother him and Jennie.”
“Good girl,” the Old Madam said in relief. “I knew you were sensible.”
…
After sending the Old Madam back to her room, Krystal went downstairs.
She saw a maid approaching with a bowl of black water on the way.
Glancing at it casually, she asked out of curiosity, “What’s this? Where are you bringing it to?”
Krystal frequented the Manoban Family’s house.
Before Lisa’s marriage, the servants of the Manoban Family basically regarded her as the future Young Madam.
Even if Lisa was now married, they were still polite to her.
Although she wasn’t the Young Madam, she was still Young Lady Shen.
Thus, the maid immediately replied respectfully, “Miss Shen, this is brown sugar water.”
“Brown sugar water?” Krystal was startled. “What is it for?”
“The Young Master told us to boil it when he brought Young Madam back. This should be for Young Madam.” The maid smiled and didn’t notice Krystal’s face fall. “This can help relieve menstrual pain for girls.”
“Yes,” the other maid said with a smile. “I really didn’t know that our Young Master is such a caring and considerate person. He’s really good to the Young Madam. Not only did he tell us to make the brown sugar water in advance, but he also ordered the kitchen to cook lighter food. It must be because the Young Madam is having her period and can’t eat spicy food.
“I thought the Young Master wasn’t the kind to be gentle with women, but I even saw him carry the Young Madam up the stairs in his arms and lean in close to whisper to her. He gazes at the Young Madam with such tender eyes.”
The maids started chatting and became excited.
After all, their Young Master used to avoid females.
They had even wondered if he was gay.
But now, the Young Master was married and was still so affectionate with the Young Madam. It was enough to prove that his sexual orientation was normal.
It seemed like the Young Master’s indifference towards women in the past was not because he wasn’t interested in women, but because he hadn’t met a woman he liked.
In front of the woman he liked, he still behaved like a normal man.
Krystal’s face turned colder and colder as the maids continued chatting…
As the maids chatted, they suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes falling on them. They looked up and felt a thud in their hearts when they saw Krystal’s icy-cold face staring at them. Frightened, they quickly closed their mouths.
They exchanged glances in regret.
How could they have forgotten that Miss Shen liked their Young Master?
She had liked the Young Master for so many years, but he still had no affection for her.
Now that the Young Master was suddenly married, she must be in a bad mood.
What they had just said was undoubtedly sprinkling salt on the wound in her heart.
However, Krystal had always seemed sweet-tempered, noble, and elegant.
The maids were a little shocked to see her gloomy face that was suddenly worlds apart from how she usually looked.
“Miss Krystal, I- I’m going to send the brown sugar water to the Young Madam.”
The maid holding the bowl of brown sugar water bowed and quickly walked upstairs.
The other maids also made various excuses and left one after the other.
Krystal stood on the spot, thinking of their words, her teeth biting into her lips tightly.
Even if she knew that Lisa and that woman wouldn’t last long, she still found their current happiness unbearable.
Who was Jennie!
What qualifications did she have to make Lisa treat her so well!
Standing still for a while, Krystal felt more unwilling the more she thought about it. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message: [Mino, I want all the information on Jennie. Send it to me as soon as possible.]
She knew that Song Mino would definitely help her.
Because he liked her.
She had always known that.
…
In the bedroom.
Lisa carried Jennie to the bed.
“Are you sleepy?”
He reached out to caress her head. “Sleep for a while if you’re sleepy. I’ll wake you when it’s dinnertime.”
Jennie was indeed sleepy.
She easily got tired during Summer and was in low spirits due to her menstruation.
Just now, she had focused all of her attention on dealing with the Old Madam and Madam Manoban. After that, she had relaxed completely and was now lacking energy.
“Yes.” She nodded gently and yawned. Her voice was muffled as she said, “I’m a little sleepy.”
Lisa carried her and put her on the bed gently. “Sleep for a while.”
“What about you?”
Jennie couldn’t help but yawn a few times.
“I’m going to the study room for a while.” Lisa sat down on the bed and tucked her in. “I have to settle some of the company’s matters.”
He was always very natural and casual when he did such things.
He was very skilled.
As if he had been taking care of her for a long time.
Jennie’s eyes drooped and she pursed her lips as he covered her with the thin blanket. A sweet smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
She pursed her lips and smiled, then looked up at him, blinking curiously. “Aren’t you the Chairman? Why are you so busy that you have to work on vacation?”
Lisa smirked. “I just took over the company not long ago, so I have to deal with numerous matters personally. But don’t worry, I won’t be so busy after this month.
“I’ll try to spare more free time to spend with you.”
“… I didn’t mean that.” Jennie felt a little embarrassed.
It sounded like she was complaining that he didn’t have time for her.
“You didn’t mean that, but I want to accompany you more.” Lisa gazed at her gently. “Baby, don’t you want to spend more time by my side and stay with me?”
Under his focused and gentle gaze, Jennie’s heart started beating faster, and her face started feeling hot.
“I hope so.” Lisa grinned again without waiting for her answer. His voice became deeper and even sultrier. “Although I can’t be with you all the time, I promise that when I’m not working, all my free time belongs to you.”
Jennie’s heartbeat accelerated.
She felt like her face was burning.
How was Lisa so flirtatious?
Did he not know how stimulating his words were?
She couldn’t resist such a tender attack.
“Baby, what do you think?” He didn’t seem to know just how attractive and flirtatious he was. He even flashed her a charming smile and whispered in her ear with his low, bewitching voice.
Jennie felt like even her ears were about to become pregnant.
She became dizzy.
She felt like he was doing this on purpose.
He was deliberately displaying his masculine charm in front of her.
As someone who wasn’t easily smitten, she couldn’t resist a man full of hormones like him and was rendered confused.
As if her mind wasn’t hers, she nodded involuntarily, and even replied obediently, “Okay.”
“Good girl.” Lisa chuckled lightly, holding her white and tender face in his big, warm hands. He lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
It was originally only a short, light kiss.
However, after tasting the sweet taste of her lips, he couldn’t help but deepen the kiss.
The light kiss became a deep kiss.
His short kiss turned into a long, passionate kiss.
Jennie was already a little weak, and after his lingering and passionate kiss, her whole body seemed exhausted, and she collapsed in his arms.
Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurry as she panted.
Lisa pressed the tip of her nose, breathing a little quicker.
He was still holding her delicate little face with his big warm hands, and he looked down at the girl’s blushing cheeks and red lips with eyes so intense it was a little scary.
A faint fire jumped in the bottom of his eyes.
Her white skin was like a ripe peach, exuding a seductive fragrance.
He pressed his fingertips to her belly, gently rubbing against her soft skin.
The strong desire to… eat her in one bite.
The indoor atmosphere was a little charming, and an ambiguous aura hung in the air.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Taking a deep breath, Lisa suppressed the eager heat in his body and said in a hoarse voice, “Who is it.”
“Second Young Master, the brown sugar water is ready.”
A maid’s voice sounded from outside the door.
Lisa lowered his head and kissed Jennie’s forehead, before saying softly, “Drink some brown sugar water before going to bed. It’ll help you feel more comfortable. I’ll go get it for you.”
Letting go of her, he got up and walked over to the door.
He took the brown sugar water from the maid after opening the door, and then went back to the bed.
Jennie’s stomach was no longer hurting.
Looking at the brown sugar water that Lisa handed over, she still reached out to take it. Then, she raised her head and drank it in one breath.
Lisa stood by the bed, watching her finish the drink. He took the empty bowl and reached out to cover her with the thin blanket. “Go to sleep, I’m going to the study room.”
Even though it was summer, he still covered her tightly.
He covered every inch of her body except for her head.
Holding a corner of the thin blanket with one hand, Jennie’s dark and soft eyes blinked a few times at the man standing by the bed, dazed.
The man’s eyebrows were gentle, and he was no longer indifferent and alienated. The aura he exuded had also become much gentler.
He grinned affectionately, his dark eyes tender and fond.
He looked at her as if he was looking at something beloved.
His gaze was completely overwhelming.
“What’s wrong?”
Lisa was about to turn and leave when he saw her staring at him. He grinned and leaned down to touch her head.
Staring at his handsome face so close to her, Jennie suddenly returned to her senses and shook her head. “Nothing. Go to work, I’m going to sleep.”
She closed her eyes as she spoke.
He still had work to do, and she didn’t want to delay him.
“Okay, I’m leaving then.”
Lisa planted another gentle kiss on her forehead, got up, and walked out.
At the door, he thought about it for a while before raising the temperature of the indoor air conditioner by two degrees.
When he turned around, Jennie had opened her eyes.
She felt a strange emotion in her heart as she watched him standing at the door, adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner.
She had gotten married reluctantly.
In the beginning, she had only agreed to marry him for Hanbin.
She originally thought that a marriage without love would definitely be worse.
How could it be better to live with a man she didn’t love?
But…
She realized now that this marriage wasn’t as bad as she thought.
It actually felt good to be married.
It was nice to have a husband who pampered her and cared about her feelings.
Everything was much better than she expected.
Perhaps she should adjust her mentality.
She should really try to treat Lisa as her husband.
…
Lisa went to the study directly after leaving the bedroom.
His bedroom was on the third floor, and the study was on the second floor.
After watching him go downstairs, Krystal, standing at the corner of the stairs, walked out slowly.
She went to Lisa’s bedroom inexplicably and knocked on the door after a few seconds of hesitation.
In the room.
Not long after Jennie closed her eyes and almost fell asleep drowsily, there was a knock on the door.
She thought Lisa had forgotten something, but then she thought that he wouldn’t knock on his own bedroom door.
She was still wondering who it was when she heard a soft voice call, “Jennie, can I come in?”
Jennie was taken aback for a moment, and a hint of surprise flickered across her eyes.
It was Krystal’s voice.
Maybe because there was no immediate answer, another knock sounded on the door. “Jennie, I have a few things to say to you. Can I come in and talk to you?”
Without waiting for Jennie’s reply, she pushed open the bedroom door with a “click”.
Krystal walked in from outside.
When she saw Jennie lying on the bed with her eyes open, she frowned and said in a somewhat displeased tone, “I thought you were asleep, but you’re not.”
Jennie originally didn’t have any opinion on the woman with a crush on her husband.
It was true that Krystal knew Lisa first.
They had a few years of relationship.
Furthermore, she was clear that Lisa had no such intentions toward Krystal and just treated her as a friend.
It wasn’t worthwhile for her to be jealous or envious.
However, she was a little unhappy that Krystal had entered the bedroom without her permission.
She was a prestigious lady, after all.
Without seeking approval, she shouldn’t have casually entered someone else’s bedroom. This was a rule she should already be clear about.
Besides, she came back with Lisa today.
Was it really okay to enter the room of a couple so casually?
Such behavior made Jennie feel like she was quite impolite.
Her expression was a little displeased, and she said in a not-so-polite voice, “Miss Krystal, I don’t think I agreed to you coming in. You shouldn’t enter someone else’s room so casually. Such behavior is very rude.”
Krystal had always thought of Jennie as soft and weak.
Like someone easy to bully.
After being criticized so blatantly, Krystal was stunned for a moment, before smiling apologetically. “Sorry, I knocked on the door just now, but I thought you didn’t hear it, so I came in without permission.”
Although she apologized, Jennie didn’t see a hint of apology in her eyes.
She didn’t intend on accepting this kind of insincere apology.
“Since you knocked on the door and I didn’t tell you to come in, it meant that it wasn’t convenient for you to do so. Miss Krystal, you should be aware of that.” She was rather discourteous as she continued, “Miss Krystal, I was sleeping. You disturbed me.”
Krystal still maintained an elegant and decent smile on her face, but after being embarrassed so many times, the smile almost faded.
She suddenly realized that Jennie was different from how she imagined.
“Miss Krystal, I still have to sleep.” Jennie looked up and glanced at her. “Excuse me, but please leave. Oh, and remember to close the door when you go out.”
The smile on Krystal’s face froze.
Her eyes darkened and her smile faded. When she spoke again, her tone had changed. “Miss Jennie, I have a few words to say to you. I’ll naturally leave after speaking. I think you’re not in a rush to sleep right now, right?”
After hearing her change of tone, Jennie sighed inwardly at what was about to come.
Krystal was very hostile to her. It would be abnormal if she really held back without doing anything.
It seemed like Krystal couldn’t hold it back anymore.
This Young Lady Krystal wasn’t very patient.
Jennie wanted to hear what she would say, so she nodded. “Okay, what is it?”
Pursing her lips, Krystal’s hostile eyes fell on her reddish lips. She stared at it for a few seconds, her eyes cold. “I presume that Miss Jennie already knows of Lisa’s strange problem. He can’t touch women casually, or he’ll have an allergic reaction.”
“This is also one of the important reasons why he has been single for so many years. But of course, there’s another reason. He’s very picky, and ordinary women can’t easily catch his eyes. Miss Jennie, you should know Bai Su, right? In the early years, she was a hit newcomer in the music scene.
“Not only does Bai Su sing well, but she also looks very beautiful and has a sexy, voluptuous body. Normal men won’t be able to resist her charm.”
Bai Su?
Jennie was in the entertainment industry, so of course, she knew who this was.
But she would know of her even if she wasn’t in the entertainment industry.
Three years ago, Bai Su participated in a talent show and won first place in the singing competition.
Her voice was very unique and ethereal. She released several popular albums.
Her concerts had been sold out.
Besides her extraordinary talents, she was also very sexy and beautiful. Hence, she had risen to stardom quickly after her official debut.
Her strength and resources could definitely help her go further and more stable.
But for some reason, amid her bright future, she suddenly called a press conference and announced that she would leave the entertainment circle. In the end, she really did.
Since then, rarely any news about her could be seen.
This woman had disappeared into thin air.
Jennie didn’t understand why Krystal was mentioning Bai Su.
“I wonder what Bai Su has to do with what Miss Krystal wants to say?”
Jennie didn’t like going around in circles and was straightforward.
Smiling, Krystal looked at her harshly before saying, “Do you know why Bai Su announced her withdrawal just when she was becoming popular? Because she did something she shouldn’t have done and provoked Lisa.
“If she didn’t do so, she would be murdered. Either way, she would never be able to mix in the entertainment industry again.”
Jennie was taken aback.
Bai Su’s retirement had something to do with Lisa?
Krystal had obviously piqued her curiosity, so she couldn’t help but ask, “What did she do?”
Krystal’s lower lip curled, and her eyes were laced with a trace of contempt. “She was the lover of a friend of Lisa’s back then. She attended a party with that man, and Lisa was also there. She fell in love with Lisa at first sight.
“Then she thought of ways to chase him, but unfortunately, he wasn’t interested in her.
“She saw that the pursuit was unsuccessful, so she simply threw her face and somehow found Lisa’s whereabouts. She sneaked into his room, stripped off her clothes, and hid on his bed, wanting to seduce Lisa with lust.
“When Lisa found her, he was so furious he made the bodyguards throw her out of the room.”
Jennie was stunned.
Therefore, Bai Su had been forced out of the circle because she had tried to seduce Lisa?
She had even stripped her clothes and laid on his bed to seduce him?
The amount of information was so big that Jennie was speechless for a while.
Back then, many people had wondered about Bai Su’s retirement.
But after so many guesses, they had all been wrong.
Who would ever know that this was the real reason?
“So what does this have to do with what you want to say?” Although surprised, Jennie hadn’t forgotten the main topic.
“Miss Jennie, a sexy beauty like Bai Su clung onto Lisa, and even used lust as seduction, but Lisa never even took one look at her. Miss Jennie, do you think you’re more outstanding than her?”
Krystal had a gentle smile on her face, and her tone was also gentle.
Staring at her smiling smile, Jennie finally realized why she had mentioned Bai Su.
She was attacking her.
She never thought of becoming real enemies with Krystal.
This was simply too troublesome for Jennie.
But if she was provoked, she wouldn’t suffer silently.
She stared at Krystal for a while before grinning. “Miss Krystal thinks I’m not worthy of Lisa?”
Krystal smiled. “Miss Jennie, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say that. I just told you the truth about some things I know of so that you can understand Lisa better. After all, he’s your husband now, right?
“The time you have known each other is too short, so I assume that Miss Jennie doesn’t know him very well. Since young, Lisa has been particularly picky. If it’s not the best, he doesn’t want it. Not only does he have high demands on others, but he also demands perfection on himself.
“To be honest, I was really surprised to learn that he had gotten married. With his temperament, he would never carry out a flash marriage. He’s very careful about his marriage and even more cautious about his partner.
“But now that I think about it, I can understand. After all, Miss Jennie, you’re the only woman who won’t make him have an allergic reaction. This is indeed special and rare. If Lisa wants to cure his disease, he has to live with you for a long time. Only then can Lu Rao investigate where your uniqueness to him comes from.”
Krystal paused, as if deep in thought. After a few more seconds, she glanced at Jennie with a smile. “Speaking of which, I’m very curious about something. Miss Jennie and Lisa didn’t know each other before, right? How did Lisa realize that he wouldn’t have an allergic reaction when he touches you? Can Miss Jennie help resolve my doubts?”
Krystal was really puzzled.
Lisa never let any woman close to him nor touch him.
She was of no exception.
So how had Jennie managed to approach him?
Without his permission, how could she have gotten close to him?
Jennie’s expression was calm as she listened to Krystal.
She was already aware of Krystal’s hostility towards her.
A jealous woman could say anything.
Krystal was already considered euphemistic.
She was a prestigious young lady of the Jung Family, after all, so she couldn’t act vulgar and curse like market shrews.
But her vicious words were enough to make one feel stifled.
Jennie stared at her smiling eyes for a while and slowly grinned. “Miss Krystal means that Lisa only married me because he doesn’t have an allergic reaction with me?
“If it wasn’t for this unique point, he wouldn’t even take a second look at me?”
She had first used Bai Su as an example to beat her down, then she used Lisa’s allergy to women to suggest that he had only married her because she was the only woman he didn’t have an allergic reaction to.
In short, after saying so much, she simply wanted to tell her that Lisa didn’t like her at all.
Once the doctor managed to work out the specific reason and develop a response plan, she would lose her value.
