Dilemma

43.

The frightened Lisa ended up really staying home for the next few days.

Besides reading books, she would either hideaway on the rooftop trimming the plants or busy herself brewing tea in the tea room.

By now, Lisa had begun to grasp Jungkook's temper and pattern.

As long as she behaved well, then he would not play any tricks on her, and the number of times he would wear her out at night would decrease too. Sometimes, he would even just calmly cuddle and sleep the whole night without trying anything funny.

However, if she resisted even in the slightest, then he would become aggressive and domineering, ensuring her legs are kept open the entire night!

Lisa secretly likened him to a devil.

However, she held fast to the principle that 'real men do not fight with women, and real women do not fight with a devil', thus, she bit her tongue and remained silent.

No matter what the specific reason behind all this was, it was smarter to keep quiet and observe from the shadows rather than speaking out and upsetting the devil.

...

The Jeon Family's banquet was to be held in the evening of the last day of the holiday.

As she had nothing planned for the daytime, Lisa took a trip to the hospital again and carefully cleaned her mother before driving back.

Luo Hai was located in Jiang Nan, so even though it was autumn, then the afternoon would still be warm as long as there was the sun.

In the afternoon, Lisa enjoyed some tea in the small tea room before taking a nap on the tatami.

In the late afternoon, Jungkook arranged for their stylist to come over to apply makeup for Lisa and style her hair.

Since the gown had already been picked out in advance, all the stylist had to do was set Lisa's hair, put on the jewelry, and apply some light makeup.

The stylist, Linda, was the same one who had prepared Lisa for her wedding two years ago. She fell silent as she looked at her old customer from two years back - it was as if she had not aged a day!

Lisa was so pretty that she could not help but remark, "Miss Mu, you're really God's darling! It's been two years, but you haven't changed a bit. On the contrary, some might say that you've become even more beautiful!"

Lisa lowered her head and smiled. "My appearance may not have changed, but that doesn't mean that I'm still the same person. As time passes, some things are bound to change."

Linda nodded in agreement. She was probably also aware of the fact that the grand wedding from two years back was not actually completed.

It would be unrealistic for her to say that nothing had changed.

The average woman would have looked awfully pale and haggard after rotting in prison for just a few days. Therefore, Linda was curious as to how Lisa maintained her appearance throughout this period.

Compared to the past, she now seemed to have developed a kind of calm and serene temperament.

Nonetheless, this topic was obviously inappropriate to bring up!

...

The banquet was held in the thousand-people-capacity hall in the biggest seven-star Wan Hao Jeon Hotel in Luo Hai.

On the surface, this kind of aristocratic family's banquet was said to provide a platform for the younger generation to communicate and exchange views, but in reality, it was merely a display of power, a raw display of far-reaching connections and strength!

The aristocratic families who were high-ranking enough would often take turns organizing it. After this, the power of the aristocratic family would immediately become apparent by looking at their guest's status and class.

There was no need to talk about the Jeon Family's standing in Luo Hai. Therefore, when it came to the Jeon Family's banquet, it was not a matter of opting to attend or not, but whether you had been invited in the first place!

Some senior officials felt honored to receive the Jeon Family's invitation, what more the budding young people of the aristocratic families!

They had long viewed Jungkook and Mingyu as the benchmark to strive toward, as well as the implicit leader of the new generation. This, coupled with the Jeon Family's powerful commercial and military background as well as their tremendous foothold in politics and business, made them living gods. To gain shelter under their far-reaching tree would be the equivalent of gaining a shortcut to the high life in Luo Hai.

By the time Eunwoo brought Lisa, all the elders in the Jeon Family had already arrived.

The person greeting guests at the door was the second son's eldest child, who was also the Jeon Family's eldest grandchild, Mingyu. Appearance-wise, there seemed to be many similarities between him and Jungkook.

The dark, bespoke suit he wore was well-ironed, and his shiny leather shoes reeked of class. At around 185 centimeters tall, he stood out like a sore thumb in the crowd.

The woman next to him was wearing a strapless sapphire gown and had one hand hooked around Mingyu's arm. Her smile was gentle and pleasant.

The woman's spotless skin was fair, and her wavy hair was tied up into a bun, with a white camellia diamond sitting neatly at the top of her head.

From where Lisa stood, Sister-in-law Tzuyu was as beautiful as a fallen angel...
