Jennie was currently frowning while looking at her laptop. She is currently in her grandfather's hospital room with Wang Huo and Wang Mino.
The doctor already agreed to have her grandfather transferred to their private estate. And they are just waiting for him to finalize everything.
"What are you planning to do now?" Wang Mino asks his father who is just staring at the still unconscious Wang Guiren in the hospital bed.
"Are you really going to marry that woman? Why are you doing this?" He added. Wang Mino could not understand why his father agreed to this marriage.
"Answer me, father! Have you forgotten what that woman did? Don't you love mother anymore?"
Wang Huo gritted his teeth. "I suggest you stop talking this instant boy!" He said in a grave tone. .
"Or what? You think you can do something as harsh as marrying my mother's killer?"
Wang Mino's challenging tone made his father's veins pulse through his temple. His son had been asking him the same question since his arrival. It's as if he is blaming him for what happened to his grandfather.
Wang Huo is aware that he might have made the wrong decision by agreeing to the marriage but at that point, that is the only thing he could do to help his father.
This marriage proposal has been going on for more than ten years. Now even the Wu family is blatantly threatening them because of this marriage.
"What? Too speechless? Did you even think about my feelings father? How about grandfathers?"
"Are you blaming me for what happen to your grandfather?!" Wang Huo exploded.
"Who do think will poison grandpa aside from that woman of yours? Only she..."
"SHE IS NOT MY WOMAN!"
"Both of you stop!" Jennie stood in between Wang Huo and Wang Mino who is staring daggers at each other.
"STOP! Stop acting like teenagers, will you?" She added. "You, Mino... go outside."
"NOW" She demanded. Too much testosterone in a room is sometimes not good.
Wang Mino glared at his father. "Try to marry that woman, and you can forget that you ever had a son!" He growled at his father before storming away.
After he left, Wang Huo immediately paced inside the room wondering if he really made the wrong decision.
"Uncle, you're making me dizzy. Please sit. Let us talk." Jennie gestured for Wang Huo to sit. They need to seriously talk about her uncle's decision-making skills.
"Why?" She asked after sat down in the couch across her. "Why did you agree for the proposal? You've been saying no for years uncle. Why did you agree now?"
"You won't understand." He answered before letting out a sigh. "The Wu Family... They are one of the worst businessmen in this country."
"That Old man Wu is ruthless." He started. "From employee contracts full of plot holes to scandalous documents and questionable work ethics. You name it."
"The Wu Family has it all."
"But this has long been hidden. You won't know if you will not dig deeper into their world."
"I agreed because I care about our company. What do you think will happen if they manage it? What about our thousands of employees and the mouth that they feed?"
"You think that Wu Family will care about them?"
"I chose to sacrifice my marriage for this reason."
Wang Huo's explanation made Jennie speechless. She always knew that her uncle was kind and generous, but she never thought it would be to this extent.
She stared at her uncle's rigid expression. Sympathy can be seen in her eyes. His uncle could have married Wu Ziliang because of her background.
But he never did. He didn't want to disrespect the memory of his wife.
Now, he is forced to reconsider his stand because of the Wu Family's threat.
"Do you trust me?" she asked. She already knows what to do. All she just needs is their support.
Her uncle looked at her, trying to analyze the reason behind her words before he nodded. "I do."
"Good. Now, I want you to proceed with this engagement. You can even announce it. The bigger the audience the better."
"What do you mean? What about Mino? » He asked, confused.
"If my guess is right then the Wu Family no, I mean Wu Ziliang's next step is to move to the Wang household. Now that grandfather is ill, she will act as if she owns the place."
"Although I haven't found any concrete evidence yet, I am seventy percent sure that someone from the Wu Family poisoned grandfather. Think about it, without grandfather it will be easier for them to get a hold of the whole Wang Group."
"My guess is that Old man Wu is planning something big. For him to threatened grandfather for your marriage is enough for me to make this assumption."
"Now that grandfather is weak and bedridden then it will be easy for the Wu family to manage our household."
"As for Mino, I will talk to him and let him know about my plans in advance. I'm sure he will understand me."
Wang Huo fell into deep silence while thinking about Jennie's words. So far, her words seemed accurate. Although his niece is still young, Wang Huo knows that she is fully capable to handle her business but he is still reluctant to let her handle the whole Wu family by herself.
She is only eighteen! What can she do against them?
Sensing her uncle's conflicted thoughts, she immediately pacified him.
"Uncle trust me, I will ask for your help if I am unable to do my plans. I am fully confident that I can do it so, please don't worry about me."
"All I need is your support right now."
"Please, I will not let any harm fall into our family. Just trust me on this."
Wang Huo continued staring at her for seconds before he was able to say something. "What are your plans?"
"I want is to beat the Wu family at their own game. Make them think that they win before kicking them to the ground." she said as fury can be seen swimming in her gray eyes.
"That should be a very simple plan, right uncle?"
'Wu Family... you could touch anyone or anything but never my family.' Jennie thought before she gave her uncle an evil grin.
