"Nanc's mood is more stable now. Perhaps she's finally let things go. She wishes not to stay in the hospital anymore and wants to go home, but your father and I didn't agree. Her condition is so serious, it is safer for her to be in the hospital.

"Do you remember that there was an available heart? But alas, they gave it to the other patient. I asked around and heard that the patient's surgery went well, and he is recovering very well."

"Nanc is just so unfortunate."

Ha Ji-won was very depressed as she spoke of these things.

Jennie said, "What should we do now then?"

Ha Ji-won put down the bowl after Jennie had finished the food. She clasped the sides of her skirt and hesitantly said, "Jenjen, I have an idea."

Jennie looked at Ha Ji-won puzzledly. "What?"

Ha Ji-won lifted her head and stared straight into Jennie's eyes. She bit her lower lip before letting go to say, "I am over forty years old now. I have already enjoyed all the wealth and luxuries that I received. I have also experienced love and family."

Ha Ji-won gave a determined smile. "What do you think of me giving my heart to Nanc?"

It stunned Jennie. Her face went stiff as she said, "Mother..." Jennie's heart felt like someone had stabbed it. She then thought of her own mother. When she was young, her mother was also very protective of her and her elder sister.

"Mother, don't have such thoughts. Father..." Before Jennie could finish her sentence, Ha Ji-won interrupted, "I will tell your father myself."

"Nanc is just twenty years old this year." Ha Ji-won gave Jennie a pitiful smile. "I met your father when I was twenty years old, and it was when our romance blossomed. Twenty is such a beautiful age."

Ha Ji-won wiped her tears. "I want Nanc to live on peacefully. I hope that she can meet someone who truly loves her and have children with him."

Ha Ji-won kept wiping her tears, but they continued to stream down. "But she can't. The doctor already gave her a death sentence. She will die if she can't get a suitable heart!"

Ha Ji-won covered her face with her hands as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Jennie silently watched as Ha Ji-won broke down. She also felt very upset. She still had to settle her scores with Lee Jung Jae and Nancy. But she also felt very moved by Ha Ji-won's love for her daughter.

Jennie hugged Ha Ji-won, not knowing what to say.

After a good cry, Ha Ji-won finally calmed down.

She didn't bring her handkerchief, so Jennie gave her two tissues. Ha Ji-won accepted them and wiped her tears, which somehow erased all her makeup. She chuckled in embarrassment. "I have been so stressed lately that I will go crazy if I don't cry it all out."

"It is good that you can still cry." Jennie nodded. The worst was being so despondent that one couldn't even cry anymore.

"You are going to be discharged tomorrow, right? I will come to fetch you tomorrow afternoon."

"Well..." Jennie hesitated. "Mother, you need not come tomorrow. Lisa will come and help me with the discharging process. He will send me home."

Ha Ji-won was taken aback.

Ha Ji-won said, "Your father told me you got a boyfriend, Lisa..." Ha Ji-won thought for a moment before asking, "Is he the man who sent you back home after your last business trip?"

"Yes."

"Your father said he is already 32?"

It looked like age was an insurmountable barrier.

Jennie rubbed her nose awkwardly. She wanted to speak up for Lisa. "So what if he is 32? A man at 32 is stable and reliable. He treats me very well and is very sensible, not at all like those admirers who would get jealous at the drop of a pin."

Ha Ji-won thought about it and agreed with the reasoning. "What does Lisa's family do?"

Jennie replied, "Just a typical middle-class family. But Lisa is very capable. Although he is not rich, he has a house in Wangdong City. He might not be as wealthy as some of my other admirers, but he understands me and respects me."

Unlike Lee Jung Jae, Ha Ji-won didn't think Jennie had to marry some wealthy guy. Even Ha Ji-won dared to marry the middle-class Lee Jung Jae. This already showed she was a woman who placed love above all.

As a result, Ha Ji-won also hoped that Jennie could marry for love, and not for money or power.

"That's good. You should marry a man who understands you and dotes on you. You can see for yourself how Uncle Fang and his family treat their new daughter-in-law. They hate her and think she just wants a sugar daddy."

Uncle Fang was Lee Jung Jae's good friend from the business world, and the two families were very close. Uncle Fang's son recently married a small-time model, and the family thought very little of her. They felt she was a vain and pretentious person.

Ha Ji-won said, "Although we are pretty well-off ourselves, the Song Family is on an extraordinary level. Your father hopes that you can marry into the Song Family. But how will they view you if you really marry their family?"

Ha Ji-won had also given Jennie this piece of advice in her previous life. But since Jennie wanted to repay the Lee Family's kindness then, she pretended not to care.

But as she heard those same words from her, Jennie's heart felt warm. "Mother is right."

"Bring Lisa back home for a meal tomorrow. Your mother might not be good at anything else, but she is very good at sizing up people. I can help you analyze him and see if he is suitable for you."

"Okay."

Jennie sent Lisa a message after Ha Ji-won left.

[ Jennie: Brother Lili, my mother asked me to bring you back home for a meal tomorrow. ]

[ Jennie: She said that she wanted to size you up and see if you are suitable for me. ]

...

The 'Star Reaching Plan' was already established. Lisa found a batch of twenty professional military pilots and signed them onto his company.

This batch of military pilots were set off to the best aviation academy for advanced studies, and they were leaving today.

Led by Lisa, the company's upper management went to the airport to see them off.

The bunch of youngsters in their late twenties was very excited when they saw that the mysterious big boss was there to send them off. They each had their own unique personalities. One chap was especially bold, and he said to Lisa, "CEO Manoban, we will be in our thirties by the time we finish our studies and return. Are you going to help us find girlfriends then?"

Kai teased Lisa, "Your CEO Manoban is already 32 and still single. Why are you in such a hurry?"

The youngsters were instantly disappointed.

At this moment, the normally quiet Lisa suddenly spoke up. "I am not single."

Kai was speechless.

All the other senior management staff stared at Lisa in astonishment. Kai asked Lisa, "Are you in a relationship now?"

Lisa said, "Mmm." To top it off, Lisa added, "We are getting married soon."

Kai was totally thunderstruck.

Lisa gazed at the bunch of youths. "When you guys return after finishing your studies, I will help you find suitable partners and even sponsor your housing."

"Long live CEO Manoban!"
