The Villain's Wife

191

When Jennie walked inside the mansion, the first thing that she noticed was the number of displayed things that seemed to come from different countries. From elephants to the Eiffel Towers. And many other things that were safely displayed in a glass box. For some reason, the Yu Mansion instantly reminded her of a museum.

"Please... this way," the butler gestured Jennie to follow him towards the second floor of the mansion. This house is where the family of the Eldest Yu Helong lived. However, since today is a weekday, everyone seemed busy working outside of the mansion. Jennie nodded silently as she followed the butler onto the stairs.

The mansion is bigger than Jennie and Lisa's mansion. The house was a three-story mansion that features a delightful view of Seoul and an extensive garden with a maze and a swimming pool. Because of its beauty, many family gatherings are held in the garden, just like the birthday of the old man.

"Please take a seat," the butler said after he let Jennie inside Old Man Yu's study. "Master Yu is already on his way here." He uttered as he bowed and told Jennie that he will prepare some refreshments for her.

For the second time, Jennie nodded as her eyes were glued at the enormous wedding portrait just behind Old Man Yu's leather chair. The painting looked really old, and it somehow reminded Jennie of her grandmother and grandfather's portrait in London. She frowned. Even the coloring was similar.

The fact that her grandmother and grandfather are a few years younger than Old Man Yu only meant that they are of the same generations. Jennie's knowledge in art is quite limited, so she wasn't really sure if this style of artwork was popular at that time. Nevertheless, they are quite... old and very beautiful.

For some reason, just looking at the painting made Jennie emotional. Memories of her grandmother resurfaced in her mind. She couldn't help but wonder about her grandmother's reaction if she would know that Jennie is pregnant.

All throughout the years that Lilian and her had been living together, Jennie never once saw her grandmother get excited or even talk about kids. To Jennie and everyone else in the company, Lilian had always been cold, chilly. In those seven years, Jennie could count the times that Lilian would show emotion around her.

And it was mostly when she around her husband's grave.

Jennie's thoughts were interrupted when she heard Old Man Yu walk inside the study.

"She is beautiful... right?" His voice was gentle and for some reason Jennie detected a little bit of... weakness in it. Was it because he was talking about his wife? Or was it because of exhaustion?

"She is lovely." Jennie nodded. Lu Xialu was in fact beautiful, not the type that would enamored multiple men. Still, no one would say that she was ugly. While Old Man Yu is not exactly someone that v would call handsome. However, she could not deny the emotions that was apparent in the couple's eyes at the painting.

"May I know why you are here?" the old man sat opposite her. He examined Jennie's face. "Was it because of the fire two days ago?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Then I would assume it was not an accident."

In response, Jennie eyed the old man's wizened face. She recalled the reports that they receive last night about the fire. "No, it wasn't." She shook her head.

"And you are here because? You thought it was me?" He asked and looked at the butler who just arrived with the refreshments.

"No. I know it wasn't you." Jennie answered, ignoring the butler that was standing near her. "And I also know... it was of your spawns."
