Chapter 29 - True Love ("So, what does going
bankrupt feel like?") (2)

Mu Jungkook still wasn't affected by his words. He
merely curved the corner of his mouth and said, "If
you really want to find out, perhaps Mr. Qin can try it for himself. But I'd advise against that though. Should you really go bankrupt someday Miss Liang will need to look for another target all over again."

Xu Lisa couldn't help but chuckle. Mu Jungkook had
always looked like a cold man of few words. She
hadn't expected that to just be his appearance. He
wasn't half bad at dishing it out when he wanted to.

His words had perfectly aggravated Liang Yeri,
who immediately stood up to rebut him. "Mr. Mu should watch his words. There's true love between Suho and I."

"True love?" Xu Lisa finally couldn't hold back
any longer. She giggled and said, "JJK had gone
bankrupt and I am still standing by his side, believing
that he'd treat me nicely. I haven't even mentioned
anything yet and Miss Liang couldn't help to jump up
and explain herself? Where were you when Boss Qin was down on his luck when he was young? As soon as Boss Qin made it rich when he returned from overseas, you couldn't wait to make up with him again. Could you have been any more obvious? Are you seriously talking about true love right now?"

There was giggling around them after she was done
talking.

Everybody was well aware of how the Liang's was
pimping their daughter out. If only Liang Yeri
would keep her mouth shut, nobody would say
anything about it. But if she were to call that true love, that would certainly seem a bit laughable.

Even with her female lead halo, she was still a little
white flower and still not well-liked in the circle.

Liang Yeri, flustered from Xu Lisa's speech, took a look at Qin Suho wordlessly before she
seemed to have finally made up her mind on
something important. Her face dropped and she said, "I heard that Miss Xu is only staying with Mr. Mu for 50 million yuan..."

"Hey, just a minute ago you asked Mr. Mu how it
felt to have gone bankrupt. How are you able to turn
around immediately and say he has 50 million yuan."

Xu Lisa interrupted her loudly before she was
done talking. "Miss Liang, I know you want to insult
us, but how about something a little more logical? Your face is so big that if we are all sunflowers, you'd be able to produce 3 more pounds of seeds than the rest of us."

("big face" = shameless.)

Everybody around them busted out laughing again.

"You..." Liang Yeri was angry. She stared at Xu Lisa for a long time but couldn't come up with
anything else.

"Jungkook, you are here." Came a young male voice.
Xu Lisa turned around. It was Bai Jimin, the
star of the day.

Mu Jungkook nodded slightly at him before he put his arm around Xu Lisa's waist, pleased. He raised
his glass to those around them and said, "Just some
minor personal issues. Sorry to have bothered you
all."

Everybody quickly looked away and the banquet
quickly returned to its original cheerfulness.

The Bai's were also a pretty big family in the area.

Qin Suho, as someone from the younger generation,
must be nice to them as well. Qin Suho took a step up,
lifted his wine glass, and said, "Happy birthday, Boss Bai."

"Thank you," said Bai Jimin as he casually glossed
over him.

Mu Jungkook, walking behind Bai Jimin, tightened his
grip on Xu Lisa. As they were walking, he lowered
his head, looked into her eyes, and said, "JJK had
gone bankrupt and you are still staying with me. True love, huh?"

"I only said that to miss Liang, not to you." Xu Lisa
quickly explained herself. "I just want to give this job my best."

Her soft waist was pressed up tightly against his
abdomen. His lips curved upward. Looking deeply at
her, he said, "Miss Xu's acting was amazing. I almost
believed you myself."
