Chapter 90 - Foolishness ("At least when he still
needs me") (3)

By this point, even the old madam who had been
through many vicissitudes in life had to choke back
her tears. "She couldn't see out of her eyes, how
would she know to avoid cars? And how'd she be
able to avoid the car. I knew what was going through her mind.... she blamed herself. She was with Jungkook when he disappeared. She was only distracted for a second and he was gone. She blamed herself not holding onto him the entire time, to have him within her sight the entire time. Aye. The day after his mother's accident, Jungkook returned on his own, with injuries on his back. When he got home, he still had a small knife in his hand that he refused to put it down."

Having said that, Xu Lisa recalled the day when
Mu Jungkook explained to her about where his scars came from and how nonchalant he was. She felt her heart tightened.

He had not mentioned a word about his mother.

But he beat up the man sent by his dad to spy on
him the day she snuck out of Bai Jimin's birthday
banquet. All because he thought she, too, might be
kidnapped.

"I just don't like people that I like disappearing from
my sight, get it?"

That what he said to her at the time. Perhaps because he let his mother disappeared from his sight, and he had never seen her again.

Seeing that Xu Lisa was deep in thought, the
old madam went quiet as well. After a while, she
continued. "Just think about it. How sad he felt when
he found out what had happened. His grandfather
was in critical condition in the hospital. His mother
lost her sight and was killed in a motor vehicle
accident. His own father, on the other hand, was
still vacation with another woman and his precious
second son on an island. He probably wants his
father dead even in his dreams. The reason I am
telling you all this was because I want to ask you
whether you still to be with my grandson after
learning about his past."

Xu Lisa sat up straight and nodded earnestly. "I
had never taken being with him lightly."

She could still clearly recall how Mu Jungkook had
confined and tortured the original owner, had
her watch him climb all the way back up before
completely destroying her in the original novel.

"But, I think as it try harder, I will be able to do it."

She looked down, picked up the teapot and refilled
the old madam's cup. Her attitude was neither that
of servitude or arrogance. "He doesn't like others
disappearing from his sight, I can always let him know where I will be. He hates his father, then I won't bring him up. I will be able to do that, at least during the time when he still needs me."

She would cautiously avoid letting him turn villainous.

At least in the next 6-months.

Sitting across from her, a shred of surprise crossed the old madam's doddered face followed by a hint of a smile. "All these years that I have been alive, I have never seen a kid as foolish as you."

The old madam stood up and said toward the outside,
"Lao Lin, it's time to go."

Butler Lin opened up the door immediately and
helped the old madam out of the guest area.

When she got to the door, the old madam turned back around and added with a smile, "I can't wait to watch your "Blossoming Us".

...

After her measurements were taken, Xu Lisa
had Xiao Rose confirmed the photo set time with
Tianna's assistant before they left the studio. Inside
the car, Xiao Rose handed her a stack of information.

"Lisa-jie, this is the agenda for the premiere of
'Blossoming Us'. The production crew sent them over.

I have just printed them out and they are still warm
from the printer."

Xu Lisa flipped open the document and saw the
first sentence on the first page.

Focus: Interaction between the male and female leads. In layman's term: stir up news as a couple.

everything went dark in front of her all of a sudden. She had just vowed to be loyal to mu Zhen Yu. How did this happen?

She felt helpless thinking about Shen Mingyu's look. if Mu Jungkook found out that she was involved with Shen Mingyu again, he would for sure go ballistic all over again.

When she got home, she mulled over it and finally,
with a stroke of genius, left the premiere strategy at
the most obvious spot on the end table.
