They were not loud, but Jae-wook had been paying attention to
the entire conversation.
It was especially so when Lisa flashed him an occasional glance
of warning. Being in a high position for so long, it was impossible for
Jae-wook not to know that look!
Hearing Lisa said that the public had complained, Jae-wook's face changed as he heard the meaning behind Lisa's words!
The Capital City had wanted to nurture him. Even though there was
not an accurate report, insiders had already communicated to Jae-wook that they should be more careful before the awards season
and not slack off that might cause everything they had done to be for
nothing!
Jae-wook understood, if Taecyeon was caught being disruptive
by Lisa, his job would be lost, let alone an opportunity to get a
promotion!
This nephew, Lisa, had always been a boulder in Jae-wook's heart.
In his struggle of getting to the top, Jae-wook did not dare to
lax. Even though his big brother was gone, the background Dongwook left for Lisa had been supporting him and not
something he could win over overnight.
He had been in hiding in Luo Hai for years to cultivate his own
influence in order to climb to the top. Unexpectedly, when Woo-bin was defeated two years ago, his promotion was deeply affected as well!
Now that he finally had a chance to move on and continue to ascend
the ladder, why would he waste it away for menial things like that?
Lisa's choice of not inheriting the military merit from his father,
choosing to pursue the path of business was only a smokescreen. Luo
Hai's political climate had been held in his hands the whole time!
Lisa was young, but he was mature. His wisdom and charisma
allowed him to sway hearts easily, causing plenty of problems for Jae-wook in the district of Luo Hai!
Even if he stayed in Luo Hai, he would still be suppressed by Lisa!
Furthermore, Lisa and the Shao Family from the Capital City
were too close!
In the past, the master of the Shao Family and Dongwook were both
pursuing Hye Kyo. Hye Kyo chose to reciprocate Dongwook's feelings, and matched her own cousin to Shao Jingshan, who
gave birth to Jisoo who became best friends with Lisa!
The aristocrats and politicians of Luo Hai had an internal scale of their
own. Even if they were not keen on honoring the late Dongwook's wishes, they would still honor the fame that came with the Capital
City's Shao Family!
Even within the family, Old Mistress was supporting Lisa. If he
did not use the opportunity to lean toward the center, it would be
hard for him to stay in Luo Hai and have a chance to rise again!
In this key moment, his idiot son, Taecyeon, was making more trouble
for him!
Jae-wook warned Taecyeon with a fierce glare. "The things
you've done, we'll settle the account one by one when we get home!"
Taecyeon was upset, but he dared not to stand against his own father
and could only endure the embarrassment!
Jae-wook wanted to change the topic, so he asked Old
Mistress, "In a few days, during the Spring Lantern Festival, the entire
Manoban Family will be worshipping our ancestors. Will you still send an
invitation to the Hu Family of East City?
East City's Hu Family was where Old Mistress's only daughter was
married into.
Old Mistress replied, "Butler Fu will handle that!"
"Hu Family is so prominent right now, it would be inappropriate to
send a butler over. What if I go there myself to invite sister and her
husband to spend the Spring Lantern Festival with you?" Jae-wook continued.
Hearing that, Lisa smirked silently. The little influence that his
aunt and uncle have had been taken into account by Jae-wook.
If he would recruit them that enthusiastically, he must have been
desperate.
"You can do it. I was just worried that you might be working too hard,
so I planned to let the butler send the invitation. It would be best if
you can go. Hongmin hasn't returned for the past two years, let
her bring the children back!"
Speaking of her daughter, Old Mistress was longing to see her. The
only worry she had was because Hu Family had some issues two years
prior and got sacked from a governmental role. They did not dare to
contact Manoban Family until recently when they had been reelected
again...
