“Qin Han, have you seen our comments? Answer us. Are you being threatened? Don’t be afraid, we will support you.”
Qin Han replied to one of the fans: “Director Kim and I have known each other for many years, and we are very good friends. We admire each other, so we facilitated this cooperation. No one forced me, and no one could force me. My fans are all very well-mannered and reasonable people. I hope everyone doesn’t hurt the innocent. I rarely praise any newbie, but Jennie’s performance really surprised me. It’s a pleasure to act with her. When the show is out, I believe everyone will agree with me.”
Qin Han rarely praised newbies.
He might be pressured to take on this show.
But if he didn’t really admire Jennie, he wouldn’t praise her like this.
Most of his fans were well-mannered, and not all of them were his fans.
The fans calmed down after hearing Qin Han’s explanation.
They were so angry because they thought that Qin Han was forced to take on the show.
But now that he’d explained it clearly and they knew that it wasn’t what they thought, they stopped attacking Jennie.
But they still had reservations about Qin Han praising her.
Even if Jennie wasn’t a pretty face, how good could her acting be?
Qin Han was just being polite.
…
At the Kwon house.
Nancy received a few calls.
They were all from the brands she’d signed with.
Everyone called her because they wanted to terminate the contract.
Zhao Yibo also called her and told her that he had to consider signing with Huan Yu.
But Zhao Yibo had already promised her to sign with Huan Yu.
After Nancy received another call to terminate her contract, she finally felt that something was wrong.
The brands had to pay a huge sum for breaking the contract.
“Miss Kwon, I’m sorry. We’ll compensate you according to the contract.”
Nancy tightened her grip on her cell phone. “Why do I have to terminate the contract? You have to give me a reason.
“Haven’t we always been working well together? We just signed the contract a few days ago, why are we terminating it today?”
“This, Miss Kwon…” Her question seemed to have troubled the other party. The other party was silent for a while before sighing. “Miss Kwon, on account that we’ve been working together for so long, I’ll tell you the truth.
“Actually, we don’t want to terminate the contract with you, but we can’t do anything about it. We don’t dare to offend the Manoban Corporation. Someone there said that whoever dares to cooperate with you is going against the Manoban Corporation. We’re just a small company, we really don’t dare to offend the Manoban Corporation.”
“Manoban Corporation?!”
“Yes, Miss Kwon. How did you offend the Manoban Corporation? I think they want to ban you.”
Nancy’s face turned pale.
She had already guessed it.
When she left the Kim family that day, she had been worried about how they would treat her.
Now, her punishment was finally here.
They wanted to ban her.
For an artiste, banning was the worst punishment.
An artiste who was banned might not live as well as an ordinary person.
If an artiste like Nancy was banned, she would fall from heaven to hell.
She was a celebrity.
If she couldn’t survive in the entertainment industry, she had to find other jobs.
But Nancy wouldn’t do anything else.
Even if she knew how to do it, she couldn’t afford to find an ordinary job.
The door was pushed open.
Lin Huizhen walked in with a worried expression. “Nancy, why isn’t that slut Jennie doing anything? Could we be overthinking? Actually, she never thought of taking revenge on us.”
Lin Huizhen knew about Nancy’s failure.
She was more worried about Jennie’s revenge.
For the past few days, both mother and daughter had been feeling uneasy.
Lin Huizhen entered the bedroom and saw Nancy sitting by the bed with a pale face.
She was stunned and quickly walked over. “Why, did something happen? Did Jennie do something?”
Nancy bit her lip, her eyes full of hatred. She looked up at Lin Huizhen. “Mom, that slut wants to ban me.”
“What did you say?” Lin Huizhen tensed up. “How did you know?”
Nancy told Lin Huizhen about the few contract terminations she received.
Lin Huizhen’s expression changed again.
The Kwon family was getting worse year by year.
Lin Huizhen couldn’t count on Father Qiao anymore.
Her only hope now was her daughter.
She thought that no matter what, her daughter was a celebrity and was good at earning money.
It was enough for her to live a carefree life.
But if Nancy was really banned and couldn’t be in the entertainment industry anymore, would she still be able to live like this?
Jennie was going to kill them.
Lin Huizhen’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth. “That slut is so heartless. You’re her sister, and she actually wants to kill you. Didn’t she think that without the Kwon family, she wouldn’t be where she is today?
“She’s leading a comfortable life now and wants us to feel uncomfortable. This isn’t as easy as she thinks!”
Nancy gritted her teeth. “But she has been acknowledged by the Kim family and is no longer the same person. I can’t stop her from blacklisting me.”
Both the Kim and Manoban families were enough to ban her.
The little slut was still related to both families.
Nancy hated and feared Jennie now.
She hated Jennie to the core and wanted her dead.
She was afraid that Jennie would retaliate.
“So what?” Lin Huizhen sneered. “The Kwon family has done her a favor, but she actually treated you like this. She’s an ingrate. I’m going to find that slut now and ask her why she treated you like this.
“And the Kim family. The Kwon family has done them a favor. If your dad hadn’t helped adopt that slut, she might have died long ago. If the Kim family dares to treat you badly, I’ll make this news!
“Look at how shameless they are!”
“Mom, I…” Nancy was still afraid of Lisa and Taehyung.
“Anyway, the Kwon family is already like this, and you’re being blacklisted by that slut. What’s there to be afraid of? If that slut doesn’t want us to have it easy, she won’t have it easy either.”
“What should we do, then, Mom?”
“Go find that slut! If she dares to ban you, I won’t let her off!”
…
The afternoon shoot went very smoothly. As the first day of filming was especially smooth, the progress was also very good.
The original plan was to finish filming in advance.
It wasn’t even 6 pm when Taehyung ended work and sent someone home.
“Jennie, where are you staying now? I’ll send you back.” Jennie changed her clothes in the changing room and saw Taehyung waiting outside.
She was about to answer when she saw a crew member walk over.
“Director Kim.” The employee greeted Taehyung respectfully and then turned to Jennie. “Miss Kwon, someone is looking for you. They say it’s your family.”
“My family?” Jennie was stunned.
The first person she thought of was Lisa.
But she felt that if Lisa was here, he should have come straight to the set to look for her.
There was no need to get someone else to tell her.
“What kind of person, male or female?” Taehyung felt a little strange and asked.
“It’s a woman in her forties or fifties.”
“Female, in her forties or fifties…” Jennie could guess who it was.
She pursed her lips and nodded. “Alright, I got it. I’ll be right there.”
She’d thought that it might be Madam Manoban, but Madam Manoban took good care of herself and looked to be in her thirties at most.
It didn’t match the description.
As for Madam Kim, she took good care of herself. She looked to be in her thirties.
This was the first time Lin Huizhen took the initiative to look for her.
She actually came to F City from Yuncheng City.
Jennie thought for a while and guessed that it was because of Nancy.
“Brother Kim, someone from my family is looking for me. I’ll go out first.” Jennie was about to leave after telling Taehyung.
“Can you go alone?” Taehyung tugged at her and asked worriedly, “Do you need me to accompany you?”
Jennie shook her head. “It should be fine. I can handle it alone. If I can’t handle it, I’ll call you.”
No matter how much Lin Huizhen disliked her, she wouldn’t dare to do anything to her in public.
Jennie was sure of that.
“Alright, call me if you need anything. I’ll wait for you to leave.”
After Jennie left, Taehyung was still worried about her. He called a crew member over. “Go over and take a look. If you find anything wrong, come over immediately and tell me.”
“Yes, Director Kim.”
…
Jennie saw Lin Huizhen standing under a tree.
Lin Huizhen immediately noticed her, and her eyes turned cold instantly.
She looked at Jennie and said, “You’re finally willing to come out.”
“Aunt Lin, why are you looking for me?” Jennie was still polite to her stepmother. She looked into Lin Huizhen’s dark eyes and smiled. “Aunt Lin, why are you in F City? Are you here to play? Dad isn’t with you?”
“You still have the cheek to mention your dad.” Lin Huizhen looked at her smiling face and got even angrier. “You made your dad so angry the last time you came home, causing him to be ill for a long time. He hasn’t even recovered.”
“You haven’t even gone home to see him once.
“Jennie, you’re such an ingrate. Your dad treated you so well since you were young. Even if you aren’t his biological daughter, he never mistreated you. Is this how you repay him now?”
Jennie frowned when she heard that Father Kwon was sick.
“Aunt Lin, why are you looking for me?” Jennie looked at Lin Huizhen’s flamboyant expression and said, “If Aunt Lin is just here to tell me this, then I already know. I’ll call Dad later to ask about his current situation. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll leave.”
With that, she turned around.
“Stop right there.” Lin Huizhen’s angry voice reached her ears. “You know why I’m here. Jennie, I don’t care who you are or how impressive you are. If you dare to bully Nancy, I won’t let you have it easy.
“The Kwon family is your benefactor. Do you still have a conscience to bully us like this?”
Jennie stopped in her tracks and turned around.
The smile on her face was gone. She said coldly, “Aunt Lin, why don’t I understand what you mean? I’m sure you know what your daughter did. I should be the one saying that.
“Aunt Lin knows very well who’s the one bullying who, isn’t it? Even if you’re biased, you can’t be inverted. I definitely have a conscience, but your daughter might not.
“If she did, she wouldn’t have done such terrible things.
“When she snatched her sister’s boyfriend, did she have a conscience? When she pretended to be her sister and wanted to replace her sister, did she have a conscience? As long as she had a conscience, she wouldn’t do such a thing.
“Now, you’re asking me if I have a conscience?” Jennie sneered and took a step forward.
Lin Huizhen’s expression changed, and she immediately took a step back. She looked at her cautiously and said, “What are you trying to do? Jennie, this is your workplace. If you dare to mess around, you’ll be on the headlines immediately!”
“Oh, is that so?” Jennie looked nonchalant. “I’ve been on the news too many times. I don’t care this time.
“Aunt Lin.” Jennie’s voice turned cold. “You know very well what Nancy has done. I remember the Kwon family’s kindness and didn’t go too far because of Dad.”
“You didn’t go too far?” Lin Huizhen was furious when she heard this. “You got someone to ban Nancy and wanted to cut off her future, how is that not going too far? Even if Nancy did something wrong, without her, would you be where you are today?
“If you didn’t break up with Kai, would you know another man? If it wasn’t for her impersonation, would the Kim family know of your existence? Speaking of which, you have to thank Nancy. Everything you have now is all thanks to Nancy.”
“What ban?” Jennie was stunned. “I didn’t get anyone to ban Nancy.”
“Stop pretending.” Lin Huizhen grabbed her hand and glared at her. “Do you dare to say that you didn’t do it? You’re trying to ruin Nancy. Jennie, let me tell you, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re the daughter of the Kim family now.”
“If you dare to ban Nancy, I’ll make you famous. I want people to know that you’re an ingrate who repays kindness with ingratitude. The Kwon family raised you, but not only do you not know how to repay kindness, you even hit your sister.
“Your father fell sick because of you, but you ignored him.
“What do you think others will think of you if they find out?”
Jennie was about to push Lin Huizhen away when she heard an angry voice behind her. “Let go of Jennie.”
Jennie and Lin Huizhen turned around at the same time.
Madam Kim ran over anxiously.
The two bodyguards beside her were afraid that something would happen to her, so they quickly followed.
Madam Kim ran to Jennie and pushed Lin Huizhen away.
She looked at the red mark on Jennie’s wrist and asked, “Jennie, are you alright? Does it hurt?”
Jennie was still in a daze.
She was stunned to see Madam Kim. “Aunt Kim, why are you here?”
“I heard from Taehyung that you ended work early today, so I came to pick you up.”
Unexpectedly, she saw Jennie being held back by a fierce middle-aged woman.
Madam Kim looked up and glared at Lin Huizhen. “Who are you? What do you want to do to Jennie?”
Lin Huizhen quickly guessed Madam Kim’s identity when Jennie addressed her as “Aunt Kim”.
Seeing that Madam Kim was so protective of Jennie, she felt a little afraid. But very quickly, she met Madam Kim’s gaze boldly. “You’re Madam Kim? Very good, I’ve always wanted to look for you. Since you’re here today, I can settle the score with you.”
Madam Kim was stunned. “You want to settle scores with me? Who exactly are you?”
“Who am I? I’m Jennie’s adoptive mother!” Lin Huizhen raised her chin. “Madam Kim, you must be very happy to acknowledge your daughter now. Both of you are reunited, but you didn’t even tell the Kwon family.
“Madam Kim, you’re being too unkind. Aren’t you prestigious families the most particular about moral sentiments? Your daughter was thrown to the Kwon family since she was young. If it wasn’t for the Kwon family raising her, how could you and your daughter be together now?
“The Kwon family has helped the Kim family so much and brought your daughter up safely. Why aren’t you showing any gratitude now? My husband is a kind person, he might not mind this, but I can’t stand your actions.
“So what if your Kim family is rich and powerful and not someone the Kwon family can offend? I just can’t stand it. I’m going to say it.”
“You’re from the Kwon family?” Madam Kim looked at Jennie curiously. “Jennie, is she really your adoptive mother?”
“No.”
Jennie denied it immediately. “My adoptive mother has passed away. This is my stepmother.”
“Stepmother?” Madam Kim thought for a while and knew who Lin Huizhen was.
Thinking about what Lin Huizhen had done to her daughter, Madam Kim’s expression darkened. “So, you’re Jennie’s stepmother. Who are you? The Kwon family has done the Kim family a favor, but that has nothing to do with you. What right do you have to criticize the Kim family?”
“We didn’t know that you treated Jennie badly in the past, and we couldn’t care less. But now that Jennie has returned to the Kim family, you can’t bully her anymore. I don’t care who you are. If you dare to bully my daughter, I won’t let you have it easy.
“I will naturally repay Mr. Kwon’s kindness to my daughter. But you…”
Madam Kim looked gentle and didn’t seem to have a temper.
Jennie had never seen her being so mean to others.
When Lin Huizhen saw Madam Kim just now, she also felt that she had a good temper, so she didn’t take Madam Kim seriously.
That was why she dared to be so impudent.
Now that Madam Kim’s expression was cold, she wasn’t as gentle and good-tempered as she looked just now. Her eyes were sharp and cold, making Lin Huizhen feel a little afraid.
She looked at Madam Kim’s sudden change in expression and didn’t dare to say anything.
“Don’t think I don’t know how you and your daughter treated Jennie and her brother in the past. The Kwon family’s upbringing has nothing to do with you. I haven’t even settled the score with your daughter for impersonating my Kim family’s daughter, and you actually have the cheek to come over.
“Leave now!
“If you dare to cause trouble for Jennie again, don’t blame me for being nasty.”
Lin Huizhen turned pale.
Before she could say anything, the two bodyguards beside Madam Kim walked up to her and looked at her expressionlessly.
The two 1.8-meter-tall men stood in front of her. Even without saying a word, Lin Huizhen felt immense pressure.
The corners of her lips twitched, and her expression was awful. “Your Kim family repays kindness with ingratitude and bullies others with your power. You treat your benefactor’s family like this.
“I’m going to expose you.
“Just you wait!”
Lin Huizhen cursed and left.
“Jennie, does it still hurt?” Madam Kim looked at the red mark on Jennie’s wrist.
“Aunt, I’m fine.” Jennie looked down and saw that Madam Kim was blowing at her reddened area. Her eyes and face were full of love.
She felt warm inside.
It felt good to be protected and loved by her family.
“Mom.” The employee that Taehyung had called over to keep an eye on her immediately informed him when he saw that something was amiss.
Taehyung rushed over and was stunned when he saw Madam Kim. He then walked towards them.
“Mom, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to wait at home?” Taehyung said helplessly. “Why don’t you listen to me?”
Madam Kim glared at him. “Can’t I come? Thankfully, I’m here. Otherwise, your sister would’ve been bullied.”
“Jennie, what happened?” Taehyung turned around. “Mom said you were bullied. Is that true?”
Both mother and son had concern and love in their eyes.
Jennie felt warm inside. She held Madam Kim’s hand and said softly, “Brother, don’t worry, I’m fine. Mom was just too worried about me, so…”
“Jennie, w-what did you call me?!”
Madam Kim’s hand trembled as she widened her eyes in shock and surprise.
Taehyung looked at Jennie in surprise.
Jennie pursed her lips again. Her face was a little hot. Although she wasn’t used to this form of address, she still called out softly, “Mom, Brother, thank you for caring so much about me.”
This time, Madam Kim heard it clearly.
She was sure that Jennie really called her “Mom”.
“Jennie, you…” This surprise came too suddenly. Madam Kim was stunned for a while, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Her voice was trembling. “W-What did you just call me? Did I hear wrongly?”
“Taehyung, did I hear wrongly? Jennie called me Mom just now?” Madam Kim looked at Taehyung with reddened eyes and grabbed his arm. She was too agitated and happy. Not only was her voice trembling, but her entire body was trembling as well.
She thought that she would have to wait a long time for this day.
This sudden surprise made her so happy.
“Mom, you didn’t hear wrongly.” Taehyung slowly recovered from his shock. He actually felt the same as Madam Kim, but he wasn’t as obvious.
He was also surprised that Jennie was willing to change her mind.
He also thought that it would take a while for her to change her mind.
“Jennie, I’m so happy.” Madam Kim cried tears of joy. She held Jennie’s hand and said tearfully, “I dreamed of when you’d call me Mom. I didn’t expect my wish to come true so quickly.
“I’m so happy.”
She smiled as she cried. “So, you’ve acknowledged me as your mother and are willing to return to the Kim family?”
Jennie looked at Madam Kim’s teary face and hesitated for a while before wiping her tears. “Mom, don’t cry. I’m your daughter, a member of the Kim family. I never said I wasn’t willing to return.
“I’m just not used to it yet.”
“I understand, I understand.” Madam Kim immediately held her hand tightly. Her voice was still choked, but her face was full of smiles. “Jennie, use whatever method you like to spend time with us.
“As long as you’re willing to go home, you can do whatever you want.
“Your brother and I will do as you say.”
Jennie thought for a while and said hesitantly, “Mom, the Kwon family does owe me a favor. If it wasn’t for my adoptive parents, I wouldn’t be here today. So, should I tell my family about returning to the Kim family?
“Also, even if I return to the Kim family in the future, Dad will always be my kin. Although he isn’t related to me by blood, he raised me. I have to repay him for raising me.”
Jennie detested Lin Huizhen and Nancy.
But Father Kwon had always treated her well.
Although she had a conflict with Father Kwon, and they hadn’t contacted each other for a long time.
But she was still worried when she heard that Father Kwon was sick.
Father Kwon’s health hadn’t been good all these years.
Jennie thought that she had to take the time to visit him.
“Of course.” Madam Kim immediately said, “The Kwon family has not only raised you, but also our Kim family. It’s all thanks to the Kwon family that our family can reunite now.
“The Kwon family raised my daughter painstakingly. I’ll always remember this favor. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay your adoptive father.
“I think we should find a time to meet up and discuss this. Jennie, don’t worry, we won’t stop you from acknowledging your adoptive father just because you’ve returned to the Kim family.”
“Your adoptive father will always be your adoptive father.”
“Yes, Jennie. Even if you return to the Kim family, the Kwon family is still your home.” Taehyung took a step forward and patted her head affectionately. “When you return to the Kim family, you’ll have two families in the future.
“Isn’t it better to have a few more families to love you?”
“If Jennie returns to the Kim family, she can’t just come back casually. When the time comes, I’ll hold a grand banquet and invite my family and friends over to celebrate. I want to introduce Jennie to them and let them see how outstanding my daughter is.
“In the future, I won’t envy other people’s daughters anymore. I have a daughter too. My daughter is the best in the world.” Madam Kim was still agitated.
She seemed a little excited.
Taehyung was amused. “Mom, don’t scare Jennie. This is all in the future. When Jennie is willing, we’ll do it. If Jennie doesn’t like it, then we won’t do it.
“It’s good that our family can be reunited. We don’t have to announce it to the world.”
“I didn’t say we had to do it. It’s just an idea. Of course, everything depends on Jennie. If she likes it, then we do it. If she doesn’t like it, then we don’t do it. Anyway, we’ll do whatever Jennie says.”
Madam Kim finally acknowledged her daughter.
She naturally listened to her precious daughter.
Both mother and son were pampering Jennie.
Jennie couldn’t help but smile.
Her gaze softened as she looked at the mother and son.
She didn’t expect to change her mind so quickly.
She wasn’t used to it and couldn’t say it.
But she didn’t feel embarrassed at all when she corrected herself.
Then, she realized that this wasn’t a difficult thing.
She got used to it.
“Alright, Mom. Let’s talk when we get back.”
Someone from the crew walked out and looked at them curiously.
She was probably wondering who Madam Kim was.
As a public figure, many people knew Taehyung.
But Madam Kim rarely went out. Moreover, she kept a low profile. Besides people in the same circle, few people knew her.
“Yes, let’s go back first.” Madam Kim held Jennie’s hand and refused to let go. Her eyes were glued to her. “Jennie, I got some fruit juice for you. I left it in the car. It’s so hot, you must be very thirsty. Go and drink some water in the car.”
Jennie thought for a while and nodded. “I’ll let the driver know first.”
Lisa had arranged for the chauffeur to pick her up every day. The chauffeur was already waiting.
“Did Lisa arrange it for you?” Madam Kim asked.
“Mm, he was worried about me taking a cab, so he arranged a chauffeur for me.”
“He’s so thoughtful.” Although Madam Kim was unhappy that her daughter was married at such a young age, she was still very satisfied that Lisa took Jennie seriously.
“Jennie, I heard from your brother that you and Lisa are already married?” Madam Kim kept quiet for a while before continuing, “Since you’re the daughter of the Kim family now—”
“Then, shouldn’t our families meet up for a meal? It’s fine if you don’t tell anyone about your return to the Kim family, but since the Manoban family has become our in-laws, we have to let them know.”
Madam Kim wanted to meet the Manoban family because she was afraid that her daughter would be aggrieved.
Lisa doted on her daughter, but it didn’t mean that others doted on her too.
As far as she knew, Old Madam Manoban and Madam Manoban valued family status.
The Kwon family was too low compared to the Manoban family.
Her Little Seven would inevitably be looked down upon by the rest of the Manoban family.
Now that Little Seven had the Kim family as her parental family, if the Manoban family found out, they naturally wouldn’t have anything against Little Seven anymore.
How could the Kim family not be worthy of the Manoban family?
Madam Kim couldn’t bear to let her precious daughter suffer a little.
She even thought of giving Jennie a generous dowry.
It would make her more confident in the Manoban family.
Jennie was stunned when she heard that. “Yes, Lisa and I are already married. About our meeting… can I discuss it with him first?”
“Of course.” Madam Kim patted the back of her hand and said gently, “There’s no rush. Arrange a time and then let us know. If it’s not convenient to return to Yuncheng City, we can arrange the meeting place here.”
…
Jennie left the set with Madam Kim.
When Madam Kim’s car stopped in the parking lot of her apartment, Jennie was already puzzled.
When Madam Kim took the elevator to her floor, her doubts deepened.
Then, she saw Madam Kim open the door to the room opposite hers.
She was stunned.
Madam Kim opened the door and took out a pair of pink slippers. She smiled and said, “Jennie, come in quickly. I made some soup in the afternoon. You and Taehyung have some soup first, I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. It’ll take at most half an hour.
“If you’re hungry, there are fruits and snacks on the coffee table. What do you like to eat?”
Taehyung was also stunned.
He knew that Jennie was staying here.
But now, his mother was living here too?
He couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, did you find this place because you know that Jennie lives here?”
“That’s right.” Madam Kim was in a good mood and kept a smile on her face. “I want to take care of your sister, so I naturally have to find the place closest to her. This way, it’s easier to take care of her. I’ve observed carefully, the condominium here is not bad. The surrounding facilities are very complete, and it’s also very safe.
“Jennie, is this also the place that Lisa found for you?”
Jennie was speechless.
She knew it. How could Madam Kim live opposite her?
“Mm, he asked me to stay here.”
“That child is really good.” Madam Kim was even more satisfied with Lisa. “I was worried that he would be busy with work all day and not care about you. I didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful.”
“Mom, I said that Lisa dotes on Jennie a lot and told you not to worry. Are you relieved now?”
“I’m relieved for now. Let’s see how long he can last. Anyway, if he dares to treat Jennie badly in the future, let Jennie divorce him. Our Kim family’s daughter doesn’t have to worry about not being able to marry into a good family.”
Taehyung was speechless.
He really had to take his hat off to her.
They’d just gotten married, and she was already talking about divorce.
She didn’t have to love her daughter so much.
He felt that if Jennie hadn’t been given to the Kwon family when she was young, she’d probably have been pampered to no end.
…
Madam Kim lived opposite Jennie, so Jennie wasn’t in a hurry to go back.
She chatted with Madam Kim for a long time.
If Taehyung hadn’t said that Jennie had to wake up the next morning, Madam Kim wouldn’t have let her go.
It was almost 10 pm when Jennie left Madam Kim’s place.
She returned to her room and took a shower.
As she walked out of the bathroom, she heard her cell phone ringing.
It was Lisa.
She wiped her hair and hands and picked it up.
“Baby, what are you doing?” The man’s voice was low and magnetic.
“I was showering.”
“Showering?”
“Mm.”
A video invitation popped up on WeChat.
It was from Lisa.
Jennie accepted it, then a handsome face appeared on the screen.
Lisa must have just showered. His hair was still wet, and he was wearing a black sleeping robe.
He was drying his hair with a towel.
After Jennie accepted the video call, Lisa threw the towel aside.
“You just showered too?” Jennie asked.
“Mm.” Lisa narrowed his eyes. Through the screen, Jennie could feel the man’s burning gaze.
“Why are you wearing so little?” Lisa’s voice seemed a little hoarse.
Wearing so little?
Jennie looked down at her nightgown.
She was wearing a purple negligee that could be worn at home or out.
Besides revealing her shoulder and collarbone, there was nothing else.
She… was wearing a lot.
Moreover, she was at home. She could wear whatever she liked.
“What did you eat tonight? Did the shoot go well today?” Lisa quickly changed the topic.
Jennie didn’t probe further and answered him honestly.
“You ate with someone else tonight?” Lisa asked.
Jennie nodded.
She told Lisa about Madam Kim flying to City F.
Lisa wasn’t surprised.
It was normal for Madam Kim to do this.
He could tell that she treasured Jennie so much.
She must not want to be apart from her daughter for too long.
Lisa felt more at ease with Madam Kim taking care of Jennie.
“Lisa…”
“Mm?”
“I want to tell you something.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
“I’ve decided to return to the Kim family. Mom and Brother treat me especially well. They’ve always hoped that I can return. My parents were forced to do so back then, so they can’t be blamed. They’re my relatives by blood, and they’ve never done anything to let me down. I… have no reason to deny them.”
Lisa nodded and asked, “Have you thought it through?”
“Mm, I’ve thought it through. Actually, I’ve been thinking about it since that day.”
“It’s good that you’ve thought it through. Hanbin has already talked to my second uncle, and he agreed to return to the Manoban family. Grandma said that it’d be easier for Hanbin to acknowledge his ancestors and come back in glory.”
