Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

Chapter 66 - Recording (1)

The old lady was, naturally, very emotionally when
she saw her grandson. They chitchatted for a little
bit before she started working on convincing him.

"You know, Jungkook. Back in the days Liang Yeri
put aside her self-esteem and came to you for help
and you wouldn't even spare her a penny. Now that
the Liang's had a comeback and is looking better and better by the day. And what about you, hmm? You turned her away just like for that childish girl outside. Now you are suffering the consequences from that. That's why I have always told you, to always leave some wiggle room when you deal with people. You can't go wrong with that."

Mu Jungkook didn't respond.

The old madam grumbled again. "And that girl, too.
She knew that you are engaged. How could she
approach you so shamelessly? Aye, all this is water
below the bridge now. You should reconcile with your father. There shouldn't be overnight issues between a father and his son. Just laugh over it and that will be that. Your father was saying just yesterday that he wanted to hand that whatever hotel platform over for you to manage. That would still be a better alternative than you hanging out with that actress day in and day out."

Right when she was very focused on eavesdropping, Xu Lisa suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her.

Immediately after that came a weak male's voice. "Xu Lisa, I didn't think you will have the guts to come
over here.... you have guts, don't you?"

Xu Lisa Turned around and she saw Mu Sehun
who was still pale and weak from before.

"You think you can still sit there calmly even my
brother knows about what had happened between the two of us?"

Xu Lisa smiled and said, "What happened between
the two of us? You were already all dried up before
I was squeeze anything out of you. You are probably better off taking good care of your kidneys rather than trying to fight verbally with me right now."

That hit Mu Sehun where it hurt. The smile in his
eyes disappeared right away. "Xu Lisa, what do
you mean by that? ever since you've took my hotel
key, came into my room, and left without a word, I
had been like this. Speak, what kind of poison had you slipped me?"

Having said that he walked over to Xu Lisa in his
debilitated body and grabbed her on her arm. "Xu Lisa. You can go to jail for something like that,
don't you know that?"

Xu Lisa wasn't worried about an invalid like him at
all. With a swing of her arm, she knocked his hand
off and said in a steady pace, "Mr. Mu, you shouldn't
get so angry with your weakened kidney. What's
with this drugs and jail time talk? Do you have any
evidence? Have I fed you anything all night long?
Slandering, too, carries jail time. If I were you, I'd
change your lascivious lifestyle and drink more
goji berries for my health. Trying to pin this on an
innocent person is not going to help you in anyway."

Mu Sehun looked at her through grilled teeth and
only wish that he could throw daggers with his eyes.

A little while later, he started laughing all of a sudden.

He laughed and backed up at the same time until he
reached the couch and plopped down on it. Then, he
fished out the cellphone from his shirt pocket and
laughed. "Innocent? Oh, Xu Lisa. You might be good
with your words, but I do have some evidence, though not about the poison. But I happened to have this. I wonder if my brother will be enraged if he hears this."

Having said that, he turned the volume of his cellphone up to maximum and played a recording. Coming from his cellphone was Xu Lisa's voice.

"JJK had gone bankrupt, but Mu Jungkook still
has a lot of assets under his name. Those included
entertainment companies, restaurants, and some
overseas assets mainly located in Italy. Not a lot of
them, but just enough for him to support himself.
If Second Young Master Mu wanted to defeat him
completely and take all of them over, you are going to need my help."
