Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter: 144

JENNIE POV:

"Aish, why are we meeting them here? This place is too expensive!" My mom complained as she sat on the chair. Her eyes looked around bewilderedly, looking both worried and awed at the decoration.

Mom touched the diamond flower as a decoration on the table, "Aish, this one must be so expensive. Maybe a thousand dollars? A hundred thousand?"

"I think that's around one million dollars. Lisa told me before that it was made with a real diamond."

"ONE MILLION DOLLARS?!" Mom gawked and raised her hands immediately, not wanting to touch a one million dollars decoration.

I chuckled at her reaction. To be honest, when Lisa told me the price, I also had the same reaction as my mom. Because it was just simply illogical.

But for lisa, she thought it was a nice price for good decoration, especially when It involved the meeting between their parents.

"Relax, Mom. This place is owned by Lisa. So if you break one thing or two, she wouldn't mind it," I winked mischievously at her. But she was still scared.

"Are you sure you're marrying the right person? I feel like Lisa is too much for us. She is too rich!" Mom said.

"Agreed," Dad added. "Our wealth disparity is out of this world."

I sighed. My parents were already saying something like this even before we met with Mister and Madam Manoban. I really hope that nothing bad will happen in this family introduction.

We waited for about twenty minutes until the door was opened and Lisa came with Mister and Madam Manoban.

Mr. Marco was as formal as ever. With his serious face, he wore a suit. While Madam Manoban wore a formal white dress, with her high and mighty face, she looked at me and ... actually had a smile on her face!

Okay, that got me even more nervous.

Lisa pulled the chair for her parents and sat side by side with me. The seating positions were my parents facing Lisa's parents, while Lisa and I were sitting in front of them.

Mom looked uncomfortable immediately after seeing Madam Manoban, which was understandable since their last encounter was in my house when Madam Manoban mocked my family so ruthlessly.

After a long silence, I elbowed Lisa, signalling her to start the meeting before it got even more awkward.

"Ah-Ehm ... thank you for Mr. and Mrs. Kim's willingness to attend this family introduction."

"Thank you to Mr and Mrs. Manoban for attending this family introduction," I added to make it less one-sided.

But it still felt very awkward, mainly because my parents were trying to avoid eye contact, while Madam Manoban was so intimidating for whatever reason. Even though I hada feeling that she didn't mean to be intimidating here.

Not long after, Lisa ordered the waiter to serve tea for everyone in the room.

Things calmed down slightly after they sipped their tea, and Mr. Marco was the first one to open his mouth, "Did you arrange this family meeting only to introduce us like this?"
