The CEO's Woman

Chapter 177 - Wink

The environment instantly turned awkward.

"What's wrong?" Jennie asked when she noticed everyone's frozen faces.

Then she heard Lisa sigh. "I wanted to surprise you and was asking Grandfather if we could get our marriage certificates as soon as possible."

Jennie instantly smiled when she heard Lisa's explanation. She could understand their awkward reactions just a while ago.

"Well... I guess it is not a surprise anymore?" She said before walking towards him. "When are we doing it?"

"I was just asking them when you came." he said while staring at Wang Guiren, his gaze meaningful. His words revealed that he wanted the wedding as soon as possible, as if he were afraid of someone taking Jennie away from him.

"Grandfather? What do you say?" Jennie asked her grandfather while smiling from ear to ear. Marrying Lisa was not a problem to her.

In her previous life, she had married someone she never loved. Now that she is able to marry someone she truly adores, she would surely treasure every moment of this wedding.

"Well... since both of you are of age already... Then do it, whenever you want to. After that, we can schedule a grand wedding for the both of you." Wang Guiren said before letting out a sigh of relief.

Lisa is an exceptional young man and Old Man Wang could see how much he loved Jennie. The most important thing was the fact that Jennie also loved this man.

Although Jennie is a little young to marry, Old Man Wang would rather have her marry Lisa than be in her grandmother's organization. He knew how ruthless they were, even to their leader.

Old Man Wang knew how far this organization would go just to get what they wanted. Just like what they had done to his wife.

If only his previous self was stronger.

If only he had the courage to fight for her.

Still, he did his best to be able to match her status. And he was almost there. The Wang Family would soon own the Wu Conglomerate. After that, he would do all that he could to see her again.

Old Man Wang nodded at Lisa, letting him know that he was giving him his trust.

In response, Lisa smiled at the old man. He would surely treasure every moment that he had with Jennie. No matter what happens, he would always protect and care for her. He would stand by her side and build an empire with her.

"Good. Very good. You can even do it today. Hehehe..." Zhao Chittip said while giving Jennie a meaningful wink.

Jennie instantly lowered her head and acted as if she had not seen her mother-in-law's wink.

"Anyway, we need to go now. Thank you, Grandfather." Lisa said.

Jennie gave her grandfather a hug before leaving the room with Lisa.

"That was a relief." Zhao Chittip said while holding her chest.

"I know." Wang Huo agreed.

"Well, now that we are here, we would like to tell you something about the reason why we originally came here." Marco said. "It's about my brother."

"Cousin." Zhao Chittip corrected. "He is not your brother. He is your cousin."

"Alright, my cousin." Marco agreed. "I consider all of my cousins as my brothers and sisters. Anyway, I believe they will make a move towards Mino soon."

Wang Huo's expression instantly darkened. "What do you mean?"

"Well... I believe that they are looking for a strong backer so they can challenge Lisa's authority."

"Why would they do that?" Wang Huo asked.

"Well, my brother wanted his son to be the next master of the Manoban Family. He is an accomplished young man and his father believes that he deserves recognition."

"So, what do you think are they going to do to my grandson?" Old Man Wang asked.

"I am not sure yet. But... Fu Xiaolan, my brother's second child is making attempts to get close to Mino. Maybe you should warn Mino about him." Zhao Chittip said. If his brother's cousin were to look for a backer, it was only reasonable that they chose Wang Mino.

That is because Wang Mino is currently running the Wu Conglomerate and is also the heir of the Wang Group. Zhao Chittip believed that they did not know that the real owner of Wu Conglomerate is Jennie and not her cousin.

"Hmmm... I would agree." Old Man Wang said.

"However, I would like Jennie and Lisa to handle this. Those two need to grow together. They have grown individually so much. Now it is time for them to work together on this." Zhao Chittip explained.

The three men in the room nodded their heads. They would also love to see the couple handle this problem.

"Well... I will personally inform Jennie about the situation. For now, I believe we need to celebrate their marriage." Wang Huo said before giving everyone a glass of wine. "Here's to a lifetime of love and trust for both Jennie and Lisa »

"Cheers."
