“But have you ever thought…”
“I’ve thought about it. If I do this, I’ll put her in the limelight, and many people will speculate about our relationship. But it’s nothing much. No matter how popular the news is, it’ll die down in a few days.
“At least, if I do this, no fans will hurt her.
“That’s enough for me.”
“But…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll do what I promised you. I’ll keep my distance from her from now on. Michael, I want to protect her and let her stay in this industry. I can’t be too close to her, right?”
Tu Yilei smiled bitterly. “I know. You don’t have to remind me anymore.”
Michael frowned and looked at him deeply for a while before sighing. “Alright. As long as you don’t post again, it’s fine. I’ll get some people to comment on it, but don’t respond to anything else.”
Tu Yilei said, “She just posted on Weibo.”
Michael glared at him. “So?”
“I commented.”
“… ”
“Don’t worry too much about unimportant comments.”
“… ”
“Oh right, how’s the investigation going? Have you found out who took the video?”
“Mm.” Michael nodded. “Yes.”
“Who was it?”
“A crew member. But this crew member has a good relationship with Huang Yilin. Someone witnessed him get into Huang Yilin’s car.”
Tu Yilei furrowed his brows. “So, the video was directed at Jennie?”
“I think so. Huang Yilin likes Taehyung, and Taehyung likes Jennie. Tsk tsk, women are so jealous.”
Tu Yilei clenched his fists.
“Little Tu Tu, what are you trying to do?” Michael looked at him cautiously and immediately warned him. “Don’t do anything rash. This was originally targeted at that girl. Anyway, it won’t affect you much. Now that it’s almost over, just pretend you don’t know anything.
“I heard that the sugar daddy behind Huang Yilin isn’t simple. We don’t have to offend her.”
Tu Yilei sneered. “The sugar daddy behind her isn’t simple. How could we be afraid of her?”
“Of course we don’t have to be afraid of her. But why would we offend someone we don’t have to?” Michael frowned. “It’s not good to have another enemy.”
“What do you mean there’s no need to offend her? She’s already done this to the woman I like, and I’m still tolerating her? You’re asking me to act as if I don’t know anything.” Tu Yilei stood up abruptly and glared at him. “No man can stand by and do nothing when the woman he loves is being bullied. Unless he’s trash.”
“Hey, Tu Yilei, what are you doing!”
“Huang Yilin has so much dirt on her, how dare she touch the woman I like.” Tu Yilei smiled, but his eyes were cold. “Go and sort out all the dirt on her and send it to her.”
“Little Tu, you…”
“Tell her that if she dares to have any designs on Jennie again, her scandals will be trending every now and then.”
“…”
“I’d like to see if she thinks her future is more important, or if it’s more important to destroy her love rival.”
Manoban Residence.
Madam Manoban’s expression darkened as she looked at the news on her cell phone. The bird’s nest porridge that the housemaid handed her was spilled.
The ceramic bowl fell onto the carpet. The bowl was fine, but the porridge spilled out.
“I’m sorry, Madam.”
The housemaid immediately apologized and knelt on the floor. She quickly cleaned up the dirty carpet and changed into another one.
“Aunt Manoban, don’t hurt yourself.” Krystal sat beside Madam Manoban and placed a hand on her chest. “It’s not worth it to hurt your body because of this.”
“I’ll get you another bowl of porridge.”
“What porridge?” Madam Manoban’s face was pale. “I’m so angry now. It’s only been such a short time, and she’s already having a scandal with another man. One moment, it’s your ex-fiancé, and the next moment, it’s a male actor.
“Who is Jennie? She’s already married into the Manoban family, why is she still so restless?
“She’s actually involved with so many men.
“How could a woman like her deserve to enter the Manoban family?”
Krystal smiled and said, “Aunt Manoban, is there a misunderstanding? I don’t think Jennie is such a person.
“Lisa dotes on her so much, and you and Grandma Mo treat her so well too. What else is she dissatisfied with? If it was me, I’d be so happy to be able to marry into such a family. I’d definitely be wholeheartedly dedicated to this family for the rest of my life, how could I still be involved with men outside?
“I think there must be some misunderstanding. Jennie isn’t such a loose woman.”
“She’s not a loose woman?” Madam Manoban sneered. “What’s so good about a woman in the entertainment industry? If she was a good woman, would she have been able to coax Lisa to secretly get married to her? I knew she wasn’t a good person, but I didn’t expect her to be so insecure.
“This woman can’t stay in the Manoban family anymore.
“Otherwise, our Manoban family will be humiliated sooner or later.”
Krystal’s eyes flickered as she tried to hide her excitement.
“But no matter what, Lisa still likes her a lot,” she said softly. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten married to her so quickly. Even if… Aunt Manoban doesn’t agree to them being together, it’s useless.
“Lisa is a very opinionated person. He… won’t listen to others.”
“So, Krystal, Aunt Manoban needs your help.” Madam Manoban turned around and grabbed Krystal’s hand. “I can’t tolerate this woman staying in the Manoban family. Krystal, can you be Aunt Manoban’s daughter-in-law?”
Krystal furrowed her brows and looked troubled. “But Aunt Manoban, Lisa can’t possibly divorce her. No matter how much I like Lisa, I can’t ruin his family. Aren’t I a third party?”
“Of course, Aunt Manoban won’t let you suffer like this.” Madam Manoban was silent for a while before she clenched her teeth. “Whether Lisa is willing or not, he has to divorce that woman!”
“Aunt Manoban, what do you want me to do?” Krystal kept quiet for a while and pretended to be in a difficult position. “Although I like Brother Lisa a lot, I don’t think it’s right to force myself on him. Brother Lisa doesn’t like me. If I continue to pester him, he’ll only hate me more.”
“Aunt Manoban, I think we should forget it. Brother Lisa is already married, and he really likes Jennie. If I continue to pester him… it won’t be good.”
Madam Manoban’s expression changed, and she asked nervously, “Krystal, are you giving up? You don’t want to be with Lisa anymore?”
Madam Manoban got even more nervous when she thought of Mino.
Krystal was her favorite daughter-in-law.
Only Krystal was worthy of her son.
If she fell in love with another man, where would she find such a suitable daughter-in-law?
Krystal sighed and said sadly, “Aunt Manoban, it’s not that I want to give up. But Brother Lisa is already married, what can I do? I… I can’t possibly be the third party to destroy his family.
“I’m the daughter of the Jung family family family. I have my pride and dignity too. If I do this, not only will I embarrass myself, but the Jung family family family as well. Aunt Manoban, I admit that Brother Lisa and I are not fated.
“Actually, Jennie is a nice person too. Although I’ve only met her a few times, I don’t think she’s a bad person. She looks like a very innocent girl. As for the rumors, I think there might really be some misunderstanding.
“Didn’t the male lead of their production team come forward to clarify things?
“Aunt Manoban, if you try to get to know her and accept her, you might…”
“Impossible. Never.”
Before Krystal could finish, Madam Manoban interrupted her agitatedly. “I will never accept her as my daughter-in-law.”
“But she’s already your daughter-in-law.”
“She isn’t.” Madam Manoban’s eyes were filled with disgust. “I’ll get Lisa to divorce her. The Second Young Madam of the Manoban family can’t be an actress, much less a woman who’s so improper and good at provoking men.”
Krystal sighed. “I’m afraid Brother Lisa won’t agree to divorce her.”
“He has to divorce her no matter what.”
Madam Manoban was afraid that Krystal would really give up just like that. She held Krystal’s hand tightly and said in a gentler tone, “Krystal, you’re the most suitable for Lisa. He’s being insensible now and has been bewitched by that shameless woman.
“When he comes back to his senses, he’ll know who’s really suitable for him. He’s being silly now, but I can’t just watch him continue this way. Can you give him a chance?
“You’ve liked Lisa for so many years, are you really willing to give him up?
“You really… don’t want to fight for him?
“Of course, Aunt Manoban doesn’t mean to force you. I just feel that it’s not easy to meet someone you like in this lifetime. It’s a pity to give up just like that.”
Krystal kept quiet.
Madam Manoban was happy to see her like this. “Krystal, give Lisa and yourself a second chance.”
After a long silence, Krystal looked up and said, “But Aunt Manoban, even if I give him another chance, he won’t accept me. The person he likes is…”
“That’s why Aunt Manoban asked if you’re willing to fight for it.” Madam Manoban reached out and stroked Krystal’s hair tenderly. She lowered her voice and said, “Krystal, Aunt Manoban has thought of a way to get you and Lisa together.”
“But it might make you feel aggrieved. If you’re unwilling, Aunt Manoban won’t force you.
“But if you’re willing, this is your chance to be with Lisa.”
Krystal’s eyes lit up. “Aunt Manoban, the solution is…”
Madam Manoban looked at the housemaids in the living room and gestured for them to leave before whispering into Krystal’s ear, “I’ll call Lisa later and get him to come back. You can…”
Krystal widened her eyes as she listened.
When Madam Manoban was done, she covered her face and said shyly, “Aunt Manoban, this isn’t good…
“When Brother Lisa wakes up, he’ll be angry.”
“If he’s angry, then let him be angry.” Madam Manoban knew that she’d most likely agree to it. She held Krystal’s hand and continued to persuade her gently. “You know his temper too. He’ll definitely be angry if we scheme against him. But even if he’s angry, he’ll have to bear the responsibility.
“As long as you two are together, do you still have to worry about not having a chance to appease him?
“Krystal, this is the only way. If you want to be with Lisa, this is the fastest and most effective way. I know that it must be hard for you to do something like this. But when you marry into the Manoban family, Aunt Manoban will make it up to you.
“Just… put up with it for a while, okay?”
Krystal bit her lip and kept quiet.
Madam Manoban waited patiently.
After a while, Krystal whispered, “Aunt Manoban, what if… we fail?”
“It won’t fail.” Madam Manoban could tell that she agreed to it. She quickly assured her. “Aunt Manoban promises you that she won’t fail. Krystal, have you considered it? Have you agreed to Aunt Manoban’s request?”
“I… I really like Lisa.” Krystal took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind. “So, I’m willing to… try it once.”
“Good girl.”
Madam Manoban hugged her and said happily, “Aunt Manoban promises you that you won’t regret it. I’ll call Lisa now and tell him to come home.”

Manoban Corporation.
Wei Zheng opened the door and saw Chairman Manoban sitting at his desk in a daze.
There was a pile of unfinished documents on the table.
He glanced at the pile of documents.
This… wasn’t like Chairman Manoban’s usual efficiency.
If it was any other time, there wouldn’t be so many documents on the table.
But this time, Wei Zheng could understand.
How could he be in the mood to work after finding out that his wife was in a relationship with another man?
It seemed like Chairman Manoban hadn’t touched the documents on his desk since he saw the scandal between Young Madam and that male celebrity.
He’d been in and out of the office several times already.
Chairman Manoban was still in the same position, looking at his cell phone.
Most likely, they were looking at Young Madam’s scandal.
Actually, he’d seen that rumor too.
There was nothing too ambiguous in the video.
It was only because Young Madam almost fell that the male celebrity helped her up.
Wasn’t this… normal?
If it was him, he would have helped her up too.
Was he supposed to watch the beauty fall to the ground and not do anything?
That was inhuman.
But that male celebrity had placed his hand on Young Madam’s waist for too long.
Chairman Manoban was probably angry about this.
“Ahem, Chairman Manoban.”
Wei Zheng knew that Lisa was in a bad mood, so he spoke cautiously. “I’ve already investigated the matter you asked me to investigate. This incident was probably caused by an actress in the same crew as Young Madam. That actress is called Huang Yilin, and she’s the female lead. I heard she likes Taehyung.
“She misunderstood that Taehyung likes Young Madam and saw her as a love rival. Hence, she wanted to use this scandal to get Tu Yilei’s fans to attack Young Madam. Oh right, there’s news about the matter that Chairman Manoban asked me to investigate.”
Lisa slowly looked up.
Wei Zheng only met his gaze for a second before looking away in fear.
Gosh, Chairman Manoban’s gaze was too terrifying.
It was so cold.
He almost froze.
But he could understand Chairman Manoban’s feelings.
“Ahem! Chairman Manoban, we found out who the culprit behind Young Madam’s scandal with Ka… Kai was.” Wei Zheng kept quiet for a while before glancing at Lisa’s expression. “We found out that it might have something to do with Miss Jung.”
“Krystal?”
Lisa finally reacted.
“Yes.” Wei Zheng told him everything that he’d found out. “Although we can’t be completely sure, it’s definitely related to Miss Jung. We caught a few key managers of that company. They said that a female customer hired them and contacted them with a set of virtual numbers. After we deciphered the number, we found that the number was called from the Jung family.
“The rest of the Jung family don’t know Young Madam, only Miss Jung…”
Lisa’s eyes turned cold. “Investigate that female artist named Huang Yilin and dig out all the dirt about her past. Then, get the public relations department to do something about it and increase her popularity.”
“Yes, Chairman Manoban.”
“But…” Wei Zheng suddenly thought of something. “She’s Taehyung’s current female lead. If we expose her, wouldn’t Taehyung be in trouble?”
Once the news got out, it would definitely have a huge impact on the artistes.
Especially when Lisa was prepared to let the Manoban Corporation’s public relations department handle the dirt.
He was ready to destroy Huang Yilin.
Huang Yilin was really unlucky.
If it was any other newbie, she would just bully them.
It wasn’t uncommon in the entertainment industry.
As a newcomer, if they didn’t have a strong background and backing, who could develop smoothly?
Huang Yilin probably thought that Young Madam was just a newbie with no background and easy to bully.
She felt that Young Madam had stolen her man and wanted to teach her a lesson.
But who knew…
She was wrong this time.
Not only was she bullying a newcomer with a powerful background, but she was also bullying a newcomer with a background that she would never have imagined.
Then, she got herself burned.
It seemed like Chairman Manoban wasn’t going to let Huang Yilin off.
It didn’t matter who she was. As long as she was with Chairman Manoban, she could kill anyone she wanted.
“Taehyung?” Lisa raised an eyebrow. “He should thank me for helping him replace an unsuitable female lead. Moreover, even if I didn’t do that, he would have replaced her.”
Having been friends for so many years, they naturally knew each other well.
With this happening, Taehyung couldn’t possibly just sit back and do nothing.
He was the sort of person that his brother couldn’t tolerate.
In terms of willfulness, Taehyung had been willful before.
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Alright, he was overthinking it.
“Then, Chairman Manoban, about Miss Jung…”
“I’ll settle this on my own.” Lisa narrowed his eyes. “Get a few people to keep an eye on her. Report to me if there’s anything unusual.”
“Yes, Chairman Manoban. I’ll get to it.”
Wei Zheng turned around and left the office.
Lisa looked down at his cell phone and couldn’t help but click on WeChat.
He set up a chat for Jennie.
Then, he clicked on it and found Jennie’s profile picture at the top. He hesitated for a while before sending a message: [?]
Jennie had called him twice previously.
He was too angry to pick it up.
He’d thought that if she called him again, he’d definitely pick up on the third call.
But no matter how long he waited, she didn’t call him again.
She hadn’t sent him any messages.
He waited for more than an hour, but nothing happened.
He was a little angry.
He knew that the scandal was deliberately created by the reporters.
He knew that she wouldn’t do anything to let him down.
But…
He still hoped that she could coax him.
Even if he knew everything, even if he hadn’t suspected her, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the scandal between her and another man.
He believed that she didn’t have any feelings for Tu Yilei.
But Tu Yilei.
As a man, he could tell from the short video that the man surnamed Tu was interested in Jennie.
When a man liked a woman, his gaze was different.
This was what bothered him the most.
It was funny how he felt insecure after seeing the scandal.
She was going to be there for three months.
In these three months, she would spend every day with Tu Yilei. They were of similar age and had the same profession. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. Moreover, he had read the script, and they would have some romance scenes together.
He couldn’t even imagine it.
What would happen in three months?
Would they… have sparks of love during filming?
This wasn’t uncommon in the entertainment industry.
It was the most common thing in the entertainment industry to fall in love because of acting.
And he… was going to be apart from her for three whole months.
It wasn’t easy for the two of them to develop feelings for each other, but after this breakup, it might fade away.
His advantage seemed to be dwindling.
The increasing worry and sense of insecurity made it impossible for him to maintain his composure. An hour of patience was his limit.
He couldn’t hold it in anymore.
He thought that Jennie would reply to him soon.
But even after a few minutes, the dialog box didn’t change.
The latest WeChat message was still the “?” he sent.
He couldn’t keep his cool anymore. After some thought, he sent another message: [??]
He waited for a few more minutes, but there was still no response.
Lisa couldn’t remain calm anymore.
His brows were furrowed as he stared at his cell phone screen.
Did she not see it?
Or did she not bring her cell phone with her?
Or was it because the reception wasn’t good, so she didn’t see his message?
Otherwise, he’d already sent her two WeChat messages, why didn’t she respond at all?
Lisa waited for a while more, and his heart was in a mess.
At this point, he couldn’t care less about his pride.
He was about to call Jennie when his cell phone lit up. It was Madam Manoban.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he picked up the call.
“Mom.”
“Come back immediately.” Madam Manoban sounded a little unhappy.
Lisa frowned. “Mom, what’s the matter?”
He was still thinking about Jennie not replying to him.
“Of course there’s something. Do you know that your wife is involved in another scandal? Lisa, how long has it been? She was involved in a scandal with her ex-fiancé, and now she’s involved with a male actor. What kind of wife did you find?”
Sensing the anger in Madam Manoban’s voice, Lisa quickly explained, “Mom, this isn’t what you think. It’s a misunderstanding.”
“I don’t care if it’s a misunderstanding or not. Come home immediately. Your grandma is already so angry. If you have anything to say, come home and tell her yourself.”
Madam Manoban hung up.
Lisa tried to reject it.
He frowned.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he closed his laptop and left the office.
Before entering the elevator, he called Jennie’s cell phone, but she didn’t pick up even after a long time.
Lisa had a bad premonition and started to feel afraid.
This was his first time not being able to reach her.
It wasn’t late at night, she couldn’t have gone to bed so early.
He had just dialed the number, and it didn’t seem like it was out of battery.
So, why didn’t she answer his call?
Was it because something bad happened to her, and she couldn’t accept it?
As this thought came to mind, many scary thoughts emerged in his mind.
He recalled the news about her being watched by Tu Yilei’s fans on Weibo.
Although Taehyung said that he’d already escorted her out of the set, who knew if the crazy fans were still waiting for her?
He knew how crazy fans could get.
Some fans would even commit suicide for their idols.
The more Lisa thought about it, the more shocked he got. He immediately pressed the button for the basement when the elevator arrived.
His fingers trembled as he called Taehyung. When the call went through, he immediately asked, “Did you send her back to the hotel?”
Taehyung said lazily, “Didn’t I tell you that she was safely delivered?”
“But I can’t get in touch with her.” Lisa took a deep breath. “I sent her a WeChat message, but she didn’t reply. I called her just now, but she didn’t pick up. I’m worried that something happened to her.
“You left after sending her to the hotel? You didn’t send her up?”
“You didn’t ask me to send her up,” Taehyung said casually. “What’s there to worry about? I saw her enter the elevator, and the hotel’s security is pretty good. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t worry?” Lisa was already worried, to begin with, and he almost exploded when he heard this. “I can’t even contact her now, and you’re telling me not to worry? Do you know how worried I am?”
“I don’t know…”
“Taehyung.” Lisa clenched his teeth.
Taehyung said innocently, “I really don’t know. I’ve never been in a relationship, how would I know what you guys think? Since you’re worried about her, why don’t you come over and see for yourself if she’s safe?”
“I’m going over.”
Lisa looked at the falling numbers and wondered why the elevator was going so slowly today.
Why wasn’t it negative!
He tried his best to remain calm and composed. “I’ll head to the airport right away and take the earliest flight. But it’ll take me three hours to get to City F.”
At this point, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t be by her side immediately.
So what if he was anxious?
It wouldn’t change anything.
“I can’t contact her now, and I don’t know how she’s doing. I’m… a little afraid. Taehyung, help me take a look. I have to make sure she’s safe.”
There was silence.
Lisa was getting impatient. “Taehyung, did you hear me? I want you to…”
“Alright, alright. I heard it all.” Taehyung yawned lazily. “I’ll let you see it right away, alright. If you ask me, she might be taking a shower, or she might be too tired after going back and fell asleep. How long has it been since you last contacted her, and you’re already in such a hurry? When she called you at first, you were so arrogant and refused to pick up. Now that she’s ignoring you, you’re so anxious. Lisa, what do you think?
“Don’t be so awkward.”
Lisa said coldly, “This is between me and her, it has nothing to do with you. Alright, cut the crap and look for her immediately.”
Ding! He finally reached the car park.
Lisa hung up and walked straight to his car after exiting the elevator.
He drove the car out of the garage and headed straight for the airport.
** *
An hour later, on the plane to F City.
Madam Manoban called again.
Lisa picked it up and said before she could say anything, “Mom, I can’t go back today. I’m on the plane right now.”
“What, you’re on the plane?” Madam Manoban was shocked. “Where are you going? Didn’t I tell you to come home?”
Lisa kept quiet for a while before turning to look out of the window. “F City. Jennie is in some trouble. I’m worried. I’ll go over to see her.”
“You’re going to F City to look for Jennie?” This sentence seemed to have angered Madam Manoban. She raised her voice and said angrily, “Why are you still looking for her? She’s already in a scandal with another man, why are you still worried about her?
“Lisa, are you possessed? She’s so restless, and you’re still thinking about her. Come back immediately, I won’t allow you to look for her!”
Lisa’s expression darkened. “Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? She’s not a restless woman. I already said that it was just a misunderstanding. I’ll explain it to you when I’m back. I know my wife best.”
Madam Manoban looked as if she was about to die from anger. “Misunderstanding? There’s no smoke without fire. Why does everyone else have so few misunderstandings, but she has so many? It’s all because of her own restlessness that she provoked so many men.
“As her husband, aren’t you angry when you see these types of news? Also, since she’s married into the Manoban family, she should have left the entertainment industry on her own accord. How can the daughter-in-law of the Manoban family be a lowly actress?
“But look at you, you’re actually supporting her? Lisa, are you really possessed by a third-rate actress? Do you not know what you’re doing?”
Upon hearing the word “actress,” Lisa’s anger rose. “I’m going to say it one last time. Mom, you gave birth to me after 10 months of hard work. Not only did you give birth to me, but you also raised me. So I love you, respect you, and treat you as a very important family member.
“But this doesn’t mean that you can insult my wife.” Lisa’s expression darkened as he clenched his fists. “Because you’re my mother, I’ll tolerate you for the last time. If you’re going to be like this in the future, then don’t blame me for doing something unfilial.”
Madam Manoban was practically yelling. “Y-You’re threatening me? Lisa, how dare you threaten your mom! I’m doing all of this for your own good. You don’t even know what you’re doing now.”
“Mom, if you insist on saying this, we might not be able to communicate anymore. The plane is about to take off. That’s it, don’t call me again.”
With that, Lisa hung up the phone under Madam Manoban’s angry yelling.
Madam Manoban called again.
Lisa looked down and hung up.
In less than three seconds, Madam Manoban called again.
This time, not only did Lisa hang up, he even blacklisted her number.
“Hello, passengers. Welcome…”
The sweet voice of the flight attendant rang out. One of the flight attendants walked over to Lisa and looked down at him. “Mister, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off the electronics.”
Lisa looked down at the WeChat message Taehyung sent him 40 minutes ago. After reading it word by word, he closed his cell phone.
Taehyung said that Jennie was safe and sound in her room.
Nothing happened.
As for why she didn’t reply to his messages or pick up his calls, he could ask her himself.
The moment he knew that Jennie was safe, Lisa finally relaxed.
All his anxiety and fear vanished.
He hadn’t reached the airport when he received Taehyung’s message.
He could return halfway.
But he still boarded the plane.
Since his wife was safe and sound, there was only one reason for her to ignore him.
She didn’t want to talk to him.
Lisa suddenly realized that his wife was angry.
She was angry at him for not picking up her calls.
Hence, she ignored him.
What if his wife got angry and ignored him?
Of course… he had to coax her personally.
** *
At the Manoban Residence.
When Madam Manoban called again and realized that she had been blocked, she was so angry that she almost smashed her cell phone on the ground.
“He must be possessed. He actually blacklisted my number. He’s such an unfilial son! He actually did this to his own mother for that actress. Is he mad?
“What exactly did that vixen feed him?
“How did he become like this!”
This was the first time in her life that she had been blacklisted by her own son. The veins on Madam Manoban’s forehead bulged.
She wasn’t elegant or dignified at all.
Krystal’s expression turned awful when she found out that Lisa had blacklisted Madam Manoban. But she still had to put on a gentle and understanding front. “Aunt Manoban, Lisa… blacklisted you? What exactly happened?”
“Unfilial son.” Madam Manoban was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. “I only said a few words about that vixen, and he’s already angry at me. He even said that if I ever talk about his wife again, don’t blame him for being unfilial.
“Krystal, do you think a son should say these things? He actually threatened his mother.
“In the past, Lisa always listened to me and would never go against me like this. But now…” Madam Manoban clenched her fists, her heart filled with anger and sadness. “I feel like he’s a different person. I can’t control him anymore.
“In his heart, that vixen is the most important. If I were to have a direct conflict with that vixen one day, he’d definitely help her. Tell me, why would I want such a son?
“I finally know why there’s such a saying. My unfilial son is the best example.”
Madam Manoban got more upset as she spoke, and she couldn’t help but tear up.
She felt especially aggrieved and upset.
She was the closest person to her son.
But now, the most important woman in her son’s heart had become someone else.
As a mother, she had to be in the back.
As she thought about all the hardships she went through when she was pregnant and how she almost had a miscarriage on the day of her childbirth, she started crying even more sadly.
“Aunt Manoban, don’t cry.”
Krystal was extremely frustrated. She thought that she would be able to settle everything tonight and quickly marry Lisa, becoming the woman who would accompany him for the rest of his life.
Who knew…
Lisa actually flew to City F.
He was worried about that b*tch. She was worried that he would fly over to look for her the moment he got off work.
She’d thought that he was a man who didn’t know how to love.
