1101 You're Really Good At Joking
After Lisa finished his conversation with Somi, his eyes moved to Jennie and he noticed that Go Shengzhe sat opposite her.
The man's cold expression changed slightly. He excused himself from Somi and headed towards Jennie...
...
The Wang family's little garden was really pretty and had a pleasant view. The corner Jennie was sitting in had vines around it with flowers sprouting from it. Beside her was a pond reflecting the full moon.
What was more beautiful than the view was the person under it.
Yet, the person was only focused on Lisa and Somi.
What were they talking about? It was taking really long! Damn it!
Many young men or parents like Wang Jianzhang, who intended to look for a girl for their sons, all noticed Jennie. However, before they could make a move, they all saw the infamous flirt walking towards her.
As they saw Go Shengzhe in hunting mode, they hoped that this innocent-looking little girl would not be fooled by him!
He actually came from a pretty prestigious family in Imperial. Although he was capable, he always indulged himself with lustful deeds.
As Jennie was wondering what Lisa and Somi were talking about, a man suddenly walked up to her. "Hi there, is there anyone sitting here?"
The man wore a fitting English three-piece suit, looking rather retro and cool. His looks were above average, but his lustful eyes were a huge turn-off to Jennie.
Nevertheless, no matter what the man did, it did not concern her, so Jennie kept on looking at Lisa. Without looking at the man, she replied, "Yes."
Go Shengzhe was a little taken aback but quickly smiled, "You're really good at joking, I've been watching you for a while. You seem to be here alone."
Jennie was speechless at his nerve to ask something he already knew.
Go Shengzhe noticed that Jennie was not reacting to him but that got even more excited. His eyes were like a radar, scanning every inch of Jennie.
Go Shengzhe was way more knowledgeable than women in girly stuff and he soon found a topic to approach her about. "Is your dress from Spirit?"
Jennie reacted a little when she heard the brand name. "Yes, why?"
Go Shengzhe got his chance and he beamed proudly before continuing with the topic, "This is just a normal ready-made dress, isn't it?"
"Correct." Jennie nodded and was waiting to see what he would say next.
"I'm guessing you weren't able to get a custom-made piece? I heard that Spirit's list of custom-made dresses has a waiting line of 6 months now. It's really difficult to get one but I know someone on the inside. If you'd like, I can help you!" Go Shengzhe tried to make himself appeal to Jennie.
Jennie smiled benevolently. "No way! I didn't do anything to deserve that!"
Go Shengzhe's pride swelled when he felt that he had a chance. "You're too humble, Miss. For a beauty like you, simply existing is hard work!"
He then scanned the girl's gentle eyes, her neat nose, cherry-like lips, and the gentle swell of her hips...
1102 Surname
The girl's outfit was quite reserved as the dress was longer than her knee and the collar was high around her neck as well, but she was emitting an aura that made him excited.
What a real hottie!
Go Shengzhe decided that he had to get this girl for himself, entirely forgetting Jackson's warning to him.
"Oh, I don't know your name yet. How should I address you? My surname's Go, I'm Go Shengzhe," Go Shengzhe asked as he inched closer to Jennie.
Go Shengzhe thought his flirting skills were top-notch, but Jennie rolled her eyes so hard that she could practically see her brain.
What was this!? He was the best flirt in Imperial?
With this sort of standard?
"I..." She looked at the devil who was slowly ambling towards her.
After a long, happy chat with his childhood friend, finally, he was coming over!
Go Shengzhe was really attracted to how Jennie gazed in a different direction when speaking to him.
How seductive!
At the same time, Jennie smiled and answered Go Shengzhe, "I go by the surname Kim now, but it's going to be Manoban in the future."
Lisa had an aggressive expression on his face but after he heard her, his eyes turned gentle.
Manoban...
What a great reply! As expected of his wife!
"Oh? Which Manoban?" Go Shengzhe asked.
"Lisa Manoban," Jennie replied.
Jennie was staring at Lisa for quite some time. Go Shengzhe understood her and grinned coldly.
"Heh, Miss Kim, you're really greedy, aren't you?"
"Why not? I've decided that I'll not marry anyone apart from Lisa!"
Go Shengzhe almost laughed out loud. "Every girl in Imperial wants to become Mrs. Manoban. Do you think you can really do it? Why don't you...have a more realistic goal?"
As he spoke, he tried to extend his hand towards Jennie...
Suddenly, Lisa came in between the two of them.
"Hey! CEO Manoban, you..." Go Shengzhe was a little surprised as he thought that Lisa was here to talk to him.
However, the man did not even look at him, he focused on the girl opposite him with a gentle gaze and a doting tone, "We'll go back together later."
Jennie nodded with a big smile. "Okay!"
This short conversation was impactful enough to give Go Shengzhe a good fright.
This...the both of them...what was happening...?
Could it be...?
"Well...CEO Manoban, you......" As Go Shengzhe realized what their relationship was, his soul almost left him.
He just stared at the man blindly.
Lisa glanced at him murderously, then left without saying a word.
Although it was just a short glance, Go Shengzhe felt like he had experienced a brief moment of death...
After Lisa left, Go Shengzhe looked at Jennie. "Y-you...and Lisa..."
1103 Lisa's Woman
Jennie smiled coyly. "It's exactly as you think it is."
Go Shengzhe was speechless.
Go Shengzhe quickly went to Jackson. "Damn you, Jackson! Why didn't you tell me that that girl is Lisa's woman?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier?" Jackson saw that the man was panting and sweating like he had been chased by a beast.
"When?!" Go Shengzhe almost broke down.
"I told you to not mess with trouble. Think! Just how many people could give you trouble in Imperial? You'd know after some careful deduction," said Jackson as a matter-of-factly.
Go Shengzhe freaked out. "Oh no! What should I do?! I actually flirted with Lisa's woman! Should I buy something for her as an apology? She seems to like Spirit's clothes. Should I buy her a few?"
Jackson stared at him like he was an idiot. "That girl is the owner of Spirit!"
Go Shengzhe was once again speechless.
From an outsider's point of view, they had seen Go Shengzhe flirting with the girl and then Lisa walked over. As it was a corner, everyone could only see Lisa's back as he blocked Jennie, so everyone thought Lisa had said something to Go Shengzhe. The supposed Casanova ran away like that corner of the room was haunted...
What exactly did Lisa say to him?
Still, there were also people who understood what had happened.
"Hahaha... Go Shengzhe is really looking for trouble! He even flirted with Lisa's woman!" Ling Fei roared.
Most people did not know what had happened because only a few people who were close to Lisa knew the girl's identity.
Zhao Haisheng held his wife close. "But you can't blame Go Shengzhe. Who would've thought a girl here would turn out to be Lisa's girlfriend!?"
"Speaking of which, do Lisa and Miss Kim plan to keep their relationship hidden?" Ling Fei asked.
"I heard that because of Miss Kim's career, they can't publicize their relationship!" Zhao Haisheng said.
Ling Fei looked in the girl's direction. "I actually think this girl is pretty nice. If any other female celebrity were to hook up with Lisa, she would surely announce it to the whole world. Do you know Choi Jisu from Glory World Entertainment? She's totally unrelated to Lisa, but she always calls herself Mrs. Manoban or Lisa's true love... But in truth? Lisa probably doesn't even know who she is!"
"That's true! Although we've just met twice, she's pretty nice and quite special, always scaring us with her stunts, hahaha."
...
At a quiet corner in the garden, Jeon Rui was holding a wine glass, looking absent-mindedly in the direction of the pond.
Somi looked nervous. "Father...are you sure that this method...is really okay?"
Jeon Rui sipped some wine. "There're a lot of government officials among the guests today. There's even a personnel from the law department and Judge Liang is also here... If she killed someone here, even Lisa can't help her! While he might be able to spare her from death, do you think a murderer could ever enter the Manoban family?"
1104 Something's Wrong, Smells Fishy
Somi frowned and looked at the woman in white talking to Jennie. "There's no issue on Lirong's side? If she doesn't die...."
"She will surely die!" Jeon Rui's eyes flashed with the intention to kill.
If she did not die, he had already arranged for his own people to take care of it at the hospital.
Nothing would go wrong.
It was her first time getting involved in matters related to a person's life. Somi's fingers were shaking with nervousness but she quickly calmed down. She was just trying to stop the woman from continuing to fool Lisa. What she was doing was not wrong...
Her plans had failed so many times. There could not be any more accidents this time. Extreme situations require extreme measures.
This time, she would make sure there was no turning back for Jennie!
She forgot all about her worries the moment she was reminded of Lisa's coldness towards her.
Jeon Rui patted his daughter's shoulder firmly. "Go and prepare yourself! It's our turn to show up soon! Call your Uncle and Aunty Manoban too! Let them see Jennie kill someone for themselves. Now, that would be interesting.."
"Yes, Father!"
...
After Go Shengzhe was terrified away by the devil, Jennie was finally alone. She picked up some fish food and stood by the pond, tossing the pellets in.
A big school of red koi fish rushed over, fighting for the food.
Jennie suddenly thought of the glutton Jisoo, so she snapped a picture of the fish and sent it to him.
As she was feeding the fishes happily, there was the sound of footsteps behind her suddenly.
Jennie thought that it was another guy trying to flirt with her. As she raised her head, she saw a strange and frail girl in a long, white dress.
The girl had makeup on but it could not hide her pale and weak state. Jennie analyzed her longer, wanting to ascertain that she did not know her. She was not sure why the girl was there, so she waited quietly to see what she wanted to do.
The girl looked at Jennie like she was trash and she smiled coldly. "So, you're Jennie Kim? Your face is thicker than the Great Wall! A cheap girl like you trying to get into the Manoban family?"
Jennie raised her eyebrows.
Although this girl looked weak, her mouth was anything but.
However, I'm sure that I don't know this girl...
What's happening?
Something's wrong... It smells fishy...
As Jennie was guessing the girl's intentions, the girl started uttering more and more ridiculous words, "Do you think you can hide the fact that you're just a village girl by dressing like a model? You're just a low-life. Who do you think you are?! You motherless thing!"
With that last sentence, Jennie squinted her eyes and emitted a lethal aura.
The girl became more motivated when she saw Jennie's reaction, so she kept on provoking her.
"Who doesn't know how complicated the entertainment industry is? You're just another filthy slut! Stop acting innocent! You witch!"
The girl in the white dress did not expect Jennie to be able to suppress herself this well and not get angry at her yet. She then splashed the glass of red wine she was holding onto Jennie.
Jennie's face and hair were all dripping with wine.
Her clothes were all drenched as well. She looked like a mess and her eyes were filled with darkness...
1105 Go Along With The Plan
The girl in white dress looked gleeful. Now, she would finally attack her!
The girl became more aggressive, pushing Jennie by her shoulders. "You witch! How dare you glare at me?!"
And yet...
The girl did not expect what happened next. She had just lightly pushed Jennie but Jennie's body was like a stray kite that weighed nothing. She fell into the pond!
How...how did this happen!?
It should be Jennie who pushed her into the pond!
How did the roles get reversed!?
What made it worse was that the moment Jennie was "pushed" into the pond, Somi came over while clinging onto Chittip's arm. Marco and Jackson's parents were together with them as well, chatting as they strolled over.
At the exact same moment, Jennie fell into the pond with a loud splash.
All of them saw it.
Some of the servants nearby saw someone falling into the water, so they yelled, "Argh! Someone fell into the water! Someone fell into the water!"
"A lady fell into the water!"
"Quickly save her!"
...
Chittip and Marco were shocked.
What happened?!
The person who had fallen into the water just now looked like Jennie.
"Someone! Anyone good at swimming? Please save her!" Wang Jianzhang quickly pleaded for help.
Suddenly, someone jumped into the pond.
"Ah! CEO Manoban went in!" A servant yelled, "Be careful, CEO Manoban!"
"Lisa!" Chittip's face turned pale.
Marco's expression changed slightly. "Don't worry, Lisa is a good swimmer!"
Wang Jianzhang did not expect something like this to happen. "This pond is pretty deep and there are some big rocks under the water. It's dangerous!"
"I'll go too!" Jackson was about to dive into the pond but a few servants stopped him. "Master, it's dangerous. The security guards are here!"
Somi did not expect the person to fall into the pond to not be the arranged person, so she was dumbfounded. Jeon Rui looked furious as well as he glared at the girl in white dress.
The girl was in shock. She trembled when she felt Jeon Rui's dagger stare on her.
At the same time, under the pond, Lisa felt a hand brush against his, so he quickly dragged the girl towards him.
As he was about to bring her up, the girl stopped him, tracing on his palm with her finger: [Cooperate with me]
Others might not know it but Lisa was sure that with Jennie's ability, a weak girl would never be able to push her into the pond and no one would pick this day to hurt Jennie.
There was only one possibility. Jennie had fallen into the pond herself.
Although he guessed it before he dove in, he was still shocked and had jumped into the pond to get her, afraid of any accidents that might happen.
Now, the girl had finally informed him about her stunt!
Lisa angrily pinched the girl's waist and her eyes flew wide open as if she was complaining, "Hey! I almost can't hold my breath in, no thanks to your pinch!"
