The Villain's Wife

181

Jennie lifted an eyebrow at Jiang Ruo before she smiled. She wondered if the woman had something against her. She then eyed the old man, who seemed to agree with Jiang Ruo's words. Jennie and Lisa already introduce themselves to the old man right after arriving where he immediately asked them to drink some wine for being late.

As someone who still values traditional Korean tradition, drinking some wine if you are late should be normal in this household. "Alright," she said as Lisa rose from his seat and held his hand so she could hold him.

This action might be simple, but this earned a lot of envious stares from women at the party. After all, they were all human. A gentleman is not something unique, but a good looking gentleman is different. This is just how the world works.

Lisa is not only handsome, but he is also successful and wealthy. Aside from this, he seemed to treat his wife really well too. Isn't he just the perfect man?

For some reason, this action made some men of the Yu Family irritated. How could they allow someone to outshine everyone? Isn't this the Yu Family's party? They were supposed to be the center of attention. Not some rich man who attended the party for the first time. Of course, most people were also logical enough to think that this was not the couple's fault.

Are they supposed to attend a party wearing garbage bags just so they won't outshine everyone? Various opinions laced everyone's mind, yet not one of them said a thing. For them, envious gazes and jealousy are only normal. It is a part of everyone. In the end, the people who will succumb to these will lose and would become everyone's laughingstock.

Everyone eyed Jennie, and Lisa as they walked towards the old man. Their jade-like skin and godly appearance were enough to attract everyone's attention. Moreover, this was the first time that the couple attended an event that involves mostly traditional families from Korea.

"Ahhh... This is the heir to the Manoban Family's empire." Old Man Yu stated to another wizened man next to him. "And his wife is the owner of Facci Group from Europe. I believe I am very lucky to witness such a union. And I am even luckier to have them attend my humble birthday party." He let a burst of croaky laughter before falling into a series of cough.

"Aiyo... Old Man Yu... you are getting older and older. You should take care of yourself properly." The old man sitting next to him laugh. He then turned to look at the couple approaching them. "I heard that they only received an invitation two days ago?" he lowered his voice. But it was enough for everyone around the table to hear.

The meaning of his words was obvious. Everyone here has prepared for their gifts for months! How could Jennie and Lisa have the time to do that? The two were not familiar with the way everything in this party works as this was their first time attending such event. It should be safe to assume that they will not give any outstanding gift today.

But isn't that too embarrassing? Some older people who attended the party immediately got the old man's point and silently nodded their heads. No one would actually blame them if they did not give something of value. However, it will surely give a poor taste to everyone else.

As someone who just moved to this neighborhood, this may even cause some problems for the young couple as some people here will surely look down on them.

To these people, reputation is everything. They would not hesitate to use their lives to guard their reputation. Losing their reputation is akin to losing their lives. How could they live without it?

Everyone could only shake their heads inwardly. Poor couple. They haven't even started living in this neighborhood and everyone else will already think of them as lower than everyone else.
