Mr. L's DILEMMA: Can't Help Falling Inlove With You

Chapter 79

Old Mistress Manoban clearly did not expect Lisa to agree with her at this moment.

She was overjoyed. "Little Pran is the most sensible one. The rest of you, stand aside!"

Nancy stood up and wiped away her tears. She looked at Lisa with a delighted expression, her pretty face blushing.

"Thank you, Brother Lisa!" Nancy said cautiously.

As she spoke, she cast a glance at Jennie who was standing by the side.

Jennie ignored the other party's subtle provocation and leaned in closer to Lisa.

However, Yeji, who had been silent all this while, could not hold it in any longer.

She saw that Jennie was acting cowardly and oblivious by not objecting. Wouldn't letting this woman live here be the equivalent of welcoming a troublemaker into the house?

Yeji commented in a low voice, "Brother Lisa? That's an awfully familiar way of addressing him. Are you very close with Third Brother?"

Nancy's complexion changed, and she ashamedly lowered her head. At the same time, her eyes began to water.

Old Mistress Manoban glared at Yeji and snarled, "You're speaking out of turn!"

Yeji refused to back down, and she maintained a polite and humble tone as she spoke, "Grandmother, of the three brothers in the Manoban Family, Eldest Brother already has Sister-in-law Tzuyu, while Third Brother has Sister-in-law Jennie. You aren't thinking of keeping this girl here for Second Brother, are you?"

Lu Shan was so appalled that she quickly tugged at her daughter. "Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhuan, who was standing by the side had suddenly been dragged into the crossfire. He was terrified, and he secretly waved his hand at Yeji to stop.

"Mother, didn't you just hear Grandmother explain that because of the friendship between her and the Jeon Family's grandmother, she had Somi stay at our home with the intention of letting her marry into the Manoban Family?

"Somiencountered a tragedy later on, but now there's a replacement. Since the other elder brothers are already married, who else can she marry other than Brother Zhuan?"

Yeji was outspoken and straightforward. She held nothing back as she immediately cause everyone to feel rather awkward. Lu Shan, on the other hand, was almost about to cry out of embarrassment.

"You little ancestor, continue spouting nonsense and you will be the death of your father and I!"

"Mother, I'm only speaking the truth. Brother Zhuan already has someone in his heart. Hasn't Nan Sheng gotten your recognition? You can't be asking for Sister-in-law Tzuyu and Jennie to give way to her, right?"

While speaking, a smirk formed onYeji's face, as if she were saying 'dream on'.

Nancy bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry again...

"In my opinion, since Grandmother remains nostalgic about the old friendship and holds on to her old friend's request, and considering the fact that the Manoban Family has a vast fortune, it won't matter if we hold one less property. Wouldn't giving one of the Manoban Family's property to Miss Mcdonie be a better option? Why must she live in the mansion?"

Jennie looked at Yeji and suddenly understood the uniqueness of this girl in the family-amid the old and trite family regulations, Yeji was still able to keep her conscience!

However, she had forgotten that allowing Nancy to stay here was not only Grandmother's wish, but that Lisa had also supported the idea.

Jennie knew that Grandmother had her own selfish motives regarding today's arrangement, but Yeji might suffer some form of punishment by exposing her plan so brutally.

Unexpectedly, however, Old Mistress did not flare up but instead merely sighed.

The people in the side hall immediately held their breath.

Old Mistress Manoban stood up, looked at her children and grandchildren by her side, and said plainly, "The plan Yeji has mentioned is not something I've not considered before.

"It's just that Nancy seeking shelter at the Manoban Family is really because she has exhausted all other options."

The ordinary people did not have Yeji's courage and were used to complying with whatever Old Mistress said. Even though they might not comprehend her thinking, they still would not dare to raise any questions.

Seeing that everyone had their doubts and yet were not saying anything, Old Mistress continued. "Nancy found a suitable heart donor and had just undergone surgery, while Yanni is mentally deranged and has been admitted to a psychiatric ward."

True enough, Nancy began to snivel again. Her eyes were by now slightly red and swollen, causing everyone who looked at her to feel sympathetic.

"My foster father is a gambler and owed some loan sharks a huge debt. When he realized that the people in the casino had cheated him, he fought with them and beat the people in the casino to death. These people later threatened to seek out my mother and I for revenge. We were so scared that we fled from City C back to Luo Hai."

As Nancy wept, her small hands continuously wiped her tears away. The area around her eyes were soon smudged with makeup.
