The CEO's Woman

Chapter 176 - Preterm

After the couple's conversation was interrupted, Jennie decided to take a bath while Lisa and his parents went to meet with Old Man Wang.

Zhao Chittip was still laughing at her son, while her husband was sending funny glares at her.

Who told her to be so nosy and actually walk inside Jennie's room?

Lisa just let out a sigh at his mother's antics. His mother had been continuously asking him if something had happened last night.

He already told her many times that nothing had happened, but this only seemed to spark his mother curiosity even more. She had even said that she would ask Jennie instead.

When the Manoban Family arrived at Old Man Wang's study, his parents and Old Man Wang told him about what his mother and father had found out.

"You mean by birthright, she should be the next leader of this organization?" Lisa asked while looking at some of the photographs and documents that his mother had given him.

"Yes." Old Man Wang nodded.

"Tell me, how come they have not approached her yet?" He asked.

"That is because we are doing our best to watch over her." Wang Huo answered. Everyone in the Wang Family knew this secret except for Jennie. "But I believe, that they are already planning to approach her. Or maybe they have already sent someone to do that."

Lisa fell silent. He was unable to utter a single word as his thought were jumbled. This was a shock even for him.

"Now, that you know about this. I want to ask you something." Old Man Wang said, his expression serene and calm. "Are you still going to marry her? Despite knowing that this organization might do something to you?"

"Of course I am. What kind of question is that?" He answered. "A little danger won't stop me." Lisa answered.

He wanted to tell them how not even death could stop him but he decided to keep it to himself.

"Hahaha..." Old Man Wang laughed before walking towards Lisa and giving him a hug. "Then you should start calling me grandfather, young man. Welcome to the family!."

"Now, I want you to know another thing, a very important thing about Jennie's mother." Old Man Wang said, before he signaled his son to get something from his table.

"Wang Ruo is a very sweet woman. She is kind and innocent. She grew up without any martial arts background. I doubt that she even knew how to hold a gun." Old Man Wang started. " When she turned eighteen, I sent her to work for the military."

Lisa and even Zhao Chittip with her husband froze when they heard Old Man Wang's words.

"I sent her away because I was afraid that someone from her mother's organization would approach her. I always thought that the military could protect her... I made a new identity for her. I told everyone that she went to study abroad... I prepared everything for her. I... I always thought that she could live a life away from this." Old Man Wang sighed before giving them another folder.

When Lisa and his parents saw the images, they were dumbstruck. Surprise was written all over their faces.

"That's right. Her mother was a genius. She worked with codes and encryption. Jennie... she got her talents from her mother." The Old Man said proudly. His gaze was distant, as if he was reminiscing about something or someone very important.

"However, three years after she started working, she... one night she just arrived on our doorstep, crying and begging me to arrange a marriage for her. Months after, she married Kim Wonbin and gave birth to a healthy preterm baby."

"Preterm? How could a preterm baby be healthy? Unless..." Zhao Chittip widened her eyes as she realized something.

The old man nodded. "I suspected. I always suspected something like that, but I was afraid to ask her. So I did my own research and found nothing. However, I am sure that Wang Ruo must have feared Jennie's father so much that she ran away from him while pregnant and married another man."

"What about Wonbin? He wouldn't be so stupid as to just believe her right?" Marco asked.

"He married my daughter for money. He did not even go to the hospital when she gave birth." Old Man Wang answered before looking at Lisa again. "I am telling you this, because I want you to know the possible problems that will come up after you marry my granddaughter. If you cannot stand by her side when the time comes for her to face all of this, then... I will ask you to leave her now."

Lisa's gaze turned solemn, his black orbs staring straight at Old Man Wang. "I will never leave her, Grandfather. No matter what happens. I will always stand by her side. Even if the world turns against her. She will always have me."

"Eh? What are you all doing here? Are you hiding away from me?" Everyone froze when they suddenly heard the door open to reveal a smiling Jennie.
