All along, Old Mistress preferred girls like Somi, who was gentle and caring, obedient, without many thoughts.
Jennie 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 Lisa for life was not supposed to be like this.
However, Lisa'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 Dong-wook was still present. Coupled with Old Mistress' forces and the support from Lisa's mother, Song Hye Kyo, 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, 'Jennie 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 Lisa seemingly did not seem to be concerned about it. Old Mistress Manoban was unable to perceive his grandson's attitude toward girls.
She did not expect that Lisa proposed to the Kim 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 Woo-bin came visiting, only then did Old Mistress Mamoban know that the woman his grandson had chosen to marry was Jennie Kim!
The Kim 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 Lisa 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 Somi was not murdered by Jennie, there was still the issue about the child Somi was pregnant with. Lisa neither admitted nor denied, but if it had really belonged to Lisa, then that child would have been the Manoban Family's third generation and Old Mistress' great-grandchild?
If it was not for Jennie, Somi would have married into the Manoban Family because of that child, and there would not be the case involving a corpse and two lives then?
Somi, after all, was brought up in the Manoban Family since she was little, so in her heart, Old Mistress Manoban still favored her more.
But Somi died, and Old Mistress was so grieved that she had fallen sick a few times!
Jennie was in prison for two years, and due to all kinds of embroilments, the Kim Family had collapsed.
That was not all. In the outside world, there was even a saying going around that Lisq was ungrateful, stepping on his own father-in-law and bringing them down to doom!
The Manoban Family, who placed the utmost importance in honor and family prestige, had a poor repute in Luo Hai for some time because of the Kim Family's incident. It was just that everyone did not dare to talk about it openly.
Old Mistress Manoban was full of resentment and was unable to vent it out. After all, the people of the Kim Family were either dead or wounded, and their only heir had gone missing.
The pent-up emotions had caused Old Mistress Manoban to sustain internal injuries. Seeing Jennie 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 Manoban had lots of reasons to hate Jennie...
Jennie had no comprehension of all these internal entanglements.
She was just naively loving Lisa, following him all around, and never abandoning him, but today's result was something she had never expected!
...
Lisa accompanied Old Mistress toasting around, but his eyes would constantly glance Jennie's direction.
Seeing Jennie 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?
Lisa'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! Lisa was single-handedly brought up by Old Mistress. In a sense, she treated Lisa more like her own child, and he was the mental sustenance that the deceased Dong-wook 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 Jennie Kim!
