All along, Old Mistress preferred girls like Eunha, who was gentle and caring, obedient, without many thoughts.
Lisa was clearly not such a girl! Being overly clever and quirky and having the conspicuous title of the number one socialite, the woman who was to partner with Jungkook for life was not supposed to be like this.
However, Jungkook's stance had always been unknown.
After returning to the country, this child began to resolutely and fervently start up his own business.
The connections left by Jeon Tangbai was still present. Coupled with Old Mistress' forces and the support from Jungkook's mother, Jiao Shuzhen, his way to success was pretty smooth-sailing.
At that time, although Old Mistress did not open her mouth, yet she was mumbling in her heart, 'Lisa is too dazzling. Having her stay by Lisa's side for too long isn't a good thing!'
The matter of marriage was on the agenda, but Jungkook seemingly did not seem to be concerned about it. Old Mistress Jeon was unable to perceive his grandson's attitude toward girls.
She did not expect that Jungkook proposed to the Mu Family and he did not inform anyone.
According to the rules of the aristocratic families in Luo Hai, when there was a marriage, notices would be given out to invite the eldest people in the older generation, and an engagement party-like banquet would be held to announce it to the world.
When Marco came visiting, only then did Old Mistress Jeon know that the woman his grandson had chosen to marry was Lisa!
The Mu Family was already at the door, and due to the relationship between the two families back then, it was inappropriate for Old Mistress to force her wishes. So long as Jungkook liked, it did not matter whether she was in favor or not.
No one had expected such a terrible thing to happen later on!
Even if it was now determined that Eunha was not murdered by Lisa, there was still the issue about the child Eunha was pregnant with. Jungkook neither admitted nor denied, but if it had really belonged to Jungkook, then that child would have been the Jeon Family's third generation and Old Mistress' great-grandchild?
If it was not for Lisa, Eunha would have married into the Jeon Family because of that child, and there would not be the case involving a corpse and two lives then?
Eunha, after all, was brought up in the Jeon Family since she was little, so in her heart, Old Mistress Jeon still favored her more.
But Eunha died, and Old Mistress was so grieved that she had fallen sick a few times!
Lisa was in prison for two years, and due to all kinds of embroilments, the Mu Family had collapsed.
That was not all. In the outside world, there was even a saying going around that Jungkook was ungrateful, stepping on his own father-in-law and bringing them down to doom!
The Jeon Family, who placed the utmost importance in honor and family prestige, had a poor repute in Luo Hai for some time because of the Mu Family's incident. It was just that everyone did not dare to talk about it openly.
Old Mistress Jeon was full of resentment and was unable to vent it out. After all, the people of the Mu Family were either dead or wounded, and their only heir had gone missing.
The pent-up emotions had caused Old Mistress Jeon to sustain internal injuries. Seeing Lisa appearing before her eyes now, how could she come to like her immediately?
It was said that there was no reason to hate someone, but Old Mistress Jeon had lots of reasons to hate Lisa...
Lisa had no comprehension of all these internal entanglements.
She was just naively loving Jungkook, following him all around, and never abandoning him, but today's result was something she had never expected!
...
Jungkook accompanied Old Mistress toasting around, but his eyes would constantly glance Lisa's direction.
Seeing Lisa together with Tzuyu, with her cheeks bulging chewing her food like a little squirrel, he quietly sighed in his heart, 'Was this woman that fond of eating even back then?' Or did that the two years of prison life had caused her to suffer so much that she now has a glutton for food?
Jungkook's absent-minded look was noticed by Grandmother, she did not feel good about it but did not voice out.
Everyone has a selfish side! Jungkook was single-handedly brought up by Old Mistress. In a sense, she treated Jungkook more like her own child, and he was the mental sustenance that the deceased JeonTangbai had left for Old Mistress!
Now that the child had grown up, and by calculation, he had been in dispute with Grandmother twice because of Lisa!
