I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

171-172

How could his fragile heart take such scares?

"Is there an issue?" Lisa asked as he sensed hesitation.

"No!" Jackson immediately straightened up and looked him in the eye.

"No problem at all. Don't worry, Chairman Mo, I'll definitely get it done well."

"Mm."

Lisa waved him away. "You can leave, then. There's someone sleeping in the room, don't close the door too hard."

Jackson replied, "... Alright."

...

At the hospital.

Lin Huizhen couldn't stop crying since she regained consciousness after passing out earlier.

"Mom, don't cry anymore." Krystal was getting panicky from her mother's crying.

"What's the point in crying? I'm frustrated enough as it is, can you let me have some quiet."

Krystal's assistant handed her an ice pack for her face. There were only two weeks left for the upcoming film's shoot. She couldn't turn up with a swollen face.

Moreover, she had a shoot in two days for a commercial.

The bruise had to subside by then.

Lin Huizhen looked up at her. "What do you mean by that! Your mom just got bullied by someone else. Instead of feeling hurt for me, you're finding me annoying? Is this what a daughter should be like?"

Krystal said quietly between clenched teeth, "Do you think you're the only one who's been bullied? What's the point in crying now when it doesn't solve anything? All I'm thinking of is how we can get Kim Jennie to pay for this."

Upon hearing Jennie's name, fury sparked in Lin Huizhen's eyes. Her expression was distorted as she said, "That bitch is really too much. I wish I could skin her alive."

"Who knows where she got that wild man from, how could he treat us this way! The thought of that bitch trampling all over us disgusts me. I can't take this lying down!"

"Oh right, have you called Kai?"

Krystal's thoughts drifted while her mother was grumbling on and on.

The man with Jennie wasn't just some wild man. He was someone way more outstanding than Kai.

Before she met other men, she had thought that Kai was rather satisfactory in every aspect.

It would look good on her to have him around anywhere she went.

But now...

She wasn't so satisfied anymore. Once she compared that mysterious man to Kai, she realized that what she once thought as Kai's
strengths and unique features weren't impressive at all.

He and the mysterious man were worlds apart. They couldn't even be compared to each other.

How could she possibly tolerate seeing that Jennie's man was better than hers!

"Krystal, did you hear what I said!" Lin Huizhen's furious voice snapped Krystal out of her senses.

Lin Huizhen frowned at her. "I asked whether you've given Kai a call. When is he coming over? And What are you doing, looking so frazzled? Also, who exactly is that wild man with Jennie, do you know him?"

Krystal was still frustrated and replied unpleasantly, "He said he's discussing an important deal and that he'll come over later."

"What?!" Lin Huizhen was evidently upset.

"He has the heart to be discussing a deal when something like this has happened. Did you tell him we're in the hospital?"

"I did." Krystal was a little upset too. "He doesn't think we're in any serious condition."

Upon thinking about how that mysterious man stood up for Jennie, while Kai wasn't especially bothered by this, Krystal was furious.

She had thought that Kai would rush over immediately when he learned that she had been hit.

But he didn't.

He did say a few words of concern over the phone, but he got back to his work pretty quickly.

Although Krystal had a new target now, Kai's attitude still hurt her. She remembered something similar happening to Jennie a few years back.

Kai was also discussing a deal, but he had dropped it and rushed to Jennie.

Back then, she had been so envious and jealous.

"His girlfriend and his future mother-in-law are in the hospital after being beaten up, and this isn't serious enough?"

Lin Huizhen was fuming. "Does he even care about both of us? Didn't he say he liked you and cared for you? He's already treating you this way while you're carrying his child, can you imagine what he'd be like in future!"

"Or..."

Lin Huizhen's expression changed immediately as she grabbed Krystal's hand. "Does he have another woman outside?"

She knew that with her daughter being pregnant now, she definitely wasn't able to satisfy Kai in that aspect.

Kai was the boss of an entertainment company and there many beautiful women signed under them.

This was the best time for any interested party to go after him.

With that thought in mind, Lin Huizhen's expression darkened.

"Krystal, hurry and give Kai a call, ask him where he is. You'd better go and have a look. I suspect some vixen is with him, that's why he can't leave."

"He's so eligible, there'd be many vixens eyeing him. You'd better be careful."

Krystal turned away. "Mom, Brother Kai isn't such a person."

Lin Huizhen sneered. "Men are all the same. How many of them are really able to resist such temptations? If he wasn't such a person, would you have been able to take him away from Jennie?!"

This was a slap to Krystal's face.

She could practically feel her cheek burn.

She yelled, "Mom!"

Only then did Lin Huizhen realize that she'd dragged her daughter into the picture.

She tried to compensate with a smile. "I mean, Krystal, Mom wasn't referring to you. Mom is referring to all the shameless vixens."

It sounded worse and worse.

Krystal's face darkened as she gave her assistant a tight slap on the face.

She vented her frustrations at her. "So dumb and foolish. You can't even get this simple thing right."

The assistant was completely shocked. She quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Miss Krystal."

The assistant bore some resemblance with Jennie. This was part of the reason Krystal picked her as her assistant.

She would vent all her unhappiness on this assistant, since treating her like dirt felt like she was doing it to Jennie.

It made Krystal feel better and superior.
