Master Jeon's Pampered Wife

"Mmm," Lisa responded. Across them, Chitthip had already walked over to greet Jungkook, and then she got into the car. After confirming that she had buckled up, Lisa started the car.

Chitthip wore an elegant and fashionable hand-embroidered dress in a Western style with crane motifs. It matched a light blue scarf around her neck. She looked simple yet graceful and carried good taste. Her manner was elegant and moving.

Even Lisa could not help but be stunned when she saw this.

She had always been taken pride in Chitthip's elegant and gentle aura. Although she was clearly already 50 years old, she still looked so bright and attractive. She recalled how her father's eyes would always shift when her mother was mentioned. In fact...

When she remembered what had happened yesterday, Lisa's eyes suddenly dimmed. She hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Mother, yesterday Grandfather came looking for me... He knows about Jungkook and me..."

"Mmm?" When Chitthip heard her, she looked up at Lisa. "And then?"

"Jungkook said when Father returns tomorrow, the two families should have a meal together. From the other side, it might only just be Grandfather and Father, so I wanted to ask if you and Grandpa would like to come along too," Lisa said in a low voice.

Chitthip was startled and she lowered her gaze. She wanted to speak up after quite a while, but Lisa's voice came through once again.

"I hope that you can come too. Yesterday, at Yueying's general shareholders' meeting, it was announced that 20% of shares still in your name. Jungkook said that that was something from Father, so... He kept feeling like it might be better to inform Father. What do you think?"

Chitthip's eyes clouded over while she seemed a little distracted, and she fell silent for a long time without answering Lisa. She just turned to look out the car window, looking faintly lonely.

"Mother, whatever happened between you and Father is the past. Now, Father... Why should you care about him so much? No matter what, life goes on. I really don't wish to see you get upset every time Father is mentioned. Otherwise, you should work hard to fight and get Father back..."

Chitthip was slightly shocked. There was a rueful coldness across her expression. "With all those things between your father and I, how could we start over just like that? Even though some things have passed, it doesn't mean that they have really ended. Otherwise, Dari and the rest wouldn't have come knocking on our door."

As Lisa listened, she turned slightly stiff and breathed in. "Mother, don't worry. I won't let them be so arrogant next time. If they still dare to come to bother us, I'll destroy Yueying right away... But you and Father..."

"Lisa, just think for yourself. You don't have to care about me," Chitthip plainly answered. "Back then, your father and I were very in love. I thought we could be together forever. He doted on me like I was a rare gem. Then, because of your grandpa's objections, I was stubborn and would rather run away from home and sever ties with my parents just to be with him..."

"While you should know the family, I joined the family with nothing. Finally, I paid a disastrous price for my unruliness. I... I didn't want to believe that your father would actually cheat on me, and it was even with... I couldn't forget the moment when your grandpa and grandma begged me to let go. Your father was in a crucial phase at that point too."

"But, if you put it like that, with such a piece of obvious evidence like Luna, if the higher-ups found out, they could topple Father anytime." Lisa could not help but be suspicious.

"Back then, Dari ran away abroad after realizing she was pregnant, and she only returned to the country after Luna was all grown up. Luna didn't return to the Xi family as your father's biological daughter. Instead, she joined the family with Dari. From a legal perspective, your father is rightfully her stepfather," Chitthip answered.
