Chapter 95 - Family ("Lili, you won't leave me,
right?") (2)

Xu Lisa went on. "Sehun was very excited,
thinking that he will be able to take down his brother
this time. What he hadn't expected was that I did
not carry out my end of the bargain. He felt that I
had tricked him and hated me for it. Truth was, Old
Madam. I have always wanted the two of them to
make up with each other. My intention was not to fool anyone."

She gave the Old Madam a very sincere look and
paused at the perfect time to create the suspension
before she finally sighed and went on. "The incident
was put on the back burner when Sehun got ill later
on. When I found out about his illness, I knew he had
the same issue as my other friend. But, just think,
why didn't I give him the prescription that I have right away instead of coming to the Mu's and using your request and a traditional doctor as a cover treat him? That was because I knew that Sehun would never trust a prescription from me."

She sounded very rational while appealing to the
Old Madam's emotion. After the whole speech, she
finally slowed down on her talking speed and said,
"To Sehun, no doubt anything from me will be poison.
never mind about the prescription, I think he even
held me accountable for him getting sick this time. He would never trust medicines from me. So the only
thing I could do was to find someone to pretend to be a traditional doctor and pass on the prescription that I had."

Having said that, she looked over at Mu Sehun and
asked, "Am I right, Sehun?"

Her speech had both logic and evidence and it had
sufficiently baffled the old madam.

Mu Dara, hearing all of her words, felt nothing but
compassion for her. Frowning and grabbing Xu Lisa's hand, she said to her, "I'm sorry you have
to go through that, child."

At the same time, a shred of guilt and embarrassment flashed passed the old madam's eyes.

From that slight change on her look, Xu Lisa could
tell that 80% - 90% of what she had said had nailed
the issue head on. Mu Sehun had been badmouthing
her a lot around the Mu's and, very possibly, waiting for an opportunity to play the recording to the old madam.

Now that she had told the story from a different
perspective, that would nip that one in the bud
altogether.

Xu Lisa looked squarely at Mu Sehun after she
had finished talking.

That complacent look on him earlier was all gone. In
fact, he was giving her a hateful look and gritted his
teeth so much that he could crush his molars. Veins
were popping on his forehead and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly. Finally, he stood up, pointed straight at Xu Lisa's nose and said to her, "Xu Lisa! You are such a shameless woman! How dare
you twist things around like that? That could not be
further from the truth! You are such an evil woman!"

"Watch yourself." Mu Jungkook stood up as well and took and step and blocked in front of Xu Lisa.

He reached out and grabbed Mu Sehun's wrist.

"Speak with your mouth. Grandma's sitting right here. What are you trying to do here?"

Hiding behind Mu Jungkook, Xu Lisa's smile was
sweet. She wasn't worried about enraging Mu Sehun.

The angrier he was, the more it let Xu Lisa knew
that she wasn't very far from the truth.

She even wished he'd come charging at her waving
his fist. If that was the case, Mu Jungkook would
for sure interfere and she'd be able to witness
the pathetic Mu Sehun being beaten up by his big
brother.

Unfortunately, Mu Sehun probably still remember
the last time he was punched by Mu Jungkook. He was intimidated by his brother who was taller than him by an entire head. He suppressed his anger and
plopped back down onto the couch, still filled with
hostility.

Xu Lisa raised her brows, reached out her little
arms, wrapped them around Mu Jungkook's and said in a pitiful voice, "Jungkook, I am fine. Why don't you sit back down?"
