Dilemma

58.

Jungkook's words were a form of warning and declaration - Lalisa was his wife!

Others might not accept it, but this is a fact that would not change.

When Old Mistress Jeon heard Jungkook's tone and attitude, she instantly felt that she had lost her face, but because there was an audience before her, she could not flare up.

The grandson whom she had personally brought up actually disobeyed her time after time for this woman?

Mingyu looked at Lisa's figure and gave a cold sneer.

This woman was Jungkook's weak spot. Now that she was back, things would get bustling in the Jeon Family!

Tzuyu pulled Lisa aside. Seeing Lisa's aggrieved face, she could not help but laughed. "The Jeon Family is like this. You've been inside of the Jeon Family way earlier than me. Are you still not aware that the rules here are so conservative and out of date?"

"Look at those grand old masters. When they see Old Mistress, they don't even dare to let out a fart. Even if they did, if Old Mistress says that it smells good, they'd have to follow suit. At least Jungkook stood up and spoke for you."

Upon hearing that, Lisa could not help but be amused.

Tzuyu was wearing a befitting gown. Her gestures reflected the manner a mistress of a prestigious family should have, dignified as a fairy who had descended to Earth, but her manner of speech was humble and grounded.

"Yes, they truly are big-tailed wolves." (TN: A Chinese term to indicate a person who's pretentious. It's not that this wolf's tail is big, but because of its pretense, when its tail is revealed, it gives off the false impression that it is big.)

Lisa saw Mingyu, Jungkook, and Yugyeom still ingratiating themselves around Old Mistress. She did not dare to scold Grandmother, so she could only vent her anger on those men who would say that the Old Mistress' fart was fragrant...

Seeing Lisa pouting her tiny mouth and the annoyance on her pink and tender face, Tzuyu could not stop laughing.

She had completely forgotten that among the big-tailed wolves Lisa mentioned, there was also her husband!

The two women were of the same identity, and they were once friends, so they quickly formed a united front.

Lisa could not comprehend as to why Old Mistress Jeon's attitude towards her was always this lukewarm.

Speaking of that, Selugi was half-a-rank lower than Jeon Tangbai. Mu Feng was JeonTangbai's Deputy General, and in the military, half-a-rank made a great difference.

Old Mistress Jeon had always thought that her eldest son was extremely brilliant, so she had favored Jeon Tangbai the most since he was little.

Unfortunately, nothing in this world was constant, and Jeon Tangbai passed away. Although he helped the Jeon Family gained an indelible meritorious service award, he was not around anymore, and she was not able to overcome this hardship in her heart.

Mu Feng returned to Luo Hai after guarding the border for 10 years. When Old Mistress Jeon saw that the former comrade was still alive and well, it triggered memories of the past. She recalled her deceased son, and in her heart, she was psychologically imbalanced.

Moreover, Mu Feng even brought back a bright and cheerful little girl from Xi Fan.

That girl was exactly 10 years old and by calculation, she must have been born during the pacification of the war in Xi Fan.

This child, who had grown up alongside her parents, had a good character with a cheerful personality, but her son and daughter-in-law had been buried for 10 years, leaving behind an unfortunate and lonely grandchild!

There was a saying that went as such, if there was no comparison, there would be no harm.

Old Mistress Jeon's state of heart was imbalanced, and she herself was not aware that she had been blindly disliking Lisa all along.

Plus, it so happened that this girl loved visiting the Jeon Family and getting close to Jungkook, calling him Brother...

Jungkook was withdrawn and aloof, so no one was able to grasp his inner thoughts. Apart from Eunha, whom the Shu Family had entrusted to the care of the Jeon Family, there were hardly any friends around Jungkook.

However, Eunha was sent to study abroad since the early years, so Jungkook was left by himself, and he was truly lonely.

Old Mistress Jeon was afraid that the child would not be blissfully happy for a long time, but seeing that when Lisa was by his side, he would at least smile a little, she tacitly acknowledged the two children's 'friendship'...

At that time, she was not aware that Lisa's little heart had welcomed Jungkook in, and she had the kind of determination in which she had pledged herself to marriage at first sight.

When Jungkook returned from his studies abroad, Lisa also followed suit. She did not choose to continue to pursue a master's degree but followed him back. Everybody in Luo Hai knew that Lisa liked the Jeon Family's Third Young Master!
