Rebirth of the Film Empress' Beloved Wife [JenLisa Adaptation]

Chapter 48: Invitation

The thought of Sunmi brought a displeased expression to Lisa's face. She was really annoyed by the Lee family’s repeated attempts to cause trouble for her and Jennie. She would not hesitate to be merciless and release all of the dirt she had gathered on them if they tried to stir things up again.

Rich and influential families were never without secrets. As a powerful and deep-rooted family, the Lee family had way too many secrets that couldn’t be disclosed to the public.

Moreover, the current generation of the Lee family was filled with arrogant people who didn’t know how to be cautious or how to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. There were traces of their misdeeds everywhere, and Lisa had been investigating them ever since Jennie warned her that Sunmi was a bad person. By now, she had accumulated quite a bit of their dirty laundry.

However, she didn’t plan on releasing anything. There were two reasons why. One, because Taehyung was better suited for doing that, and two, because although she had enough dirt to deal the Lee family a heavy blow, she wouldn’t be able to completely ruin them. Unless she had information that could destroy the Lee family by the roots, she would not make a move.

“Lisa? Are you listening?” Somi asked worriedly when she noticed that Lisa had stopped talking.

“I am.” She was listening, but should she go or not? She was sure that if she went, she would bump into Sunmi, a woman who she’d promised Jennie to not have any interaction with.

“So will you come or not? Everyone’s looking forward to it, you’d better not reject. Tut-tut, of course, what they want more is see sister-in-law too. We’ve all seen the news. Sister-in-law isn’t an ordinary person, you know. Bring her along so we can meet her. ” Somi sounded envious.

After all, Jennie was beautiful, talented, powerful, and she had a strong family background. Not to mention, she seemed like she was very much in love with Lisa. That in itself was very rare. To be able to marry a woman like this was a great blessing.

When she heard that Jennie was also invited, Lisa swallowed back her refusal. Her eyes lit up, and her expression shifted slightly. It would be her first time attending an event like this with Jennie, and in front of her friends at that. If she could go with her, she’d really look forward to it.

But the question was, would Jennie agree?

Imagining her and Jennue surrounded by a group of people and regarded as a pair of rare animals, or a group of people pestering them with questions about their relationship, Lisa suddenly didn’t feel as excited as before. She wouldn’t mind it, but it might make Jennie unhappy, and she didn’t want that.

Jennie had always been lowkey and rarely attended her own class reunions. When Lisa's thoughts reached this point, she wiped away all of her hopes of her attending.

She finally decided to refuse, saying, “I’m busier than usual these days because the filming for my new film is about to start.”

“No way, you’re actually refusing? Boss, I’ll call you boss, okay? Is it because you can’t bear to bring sister-in-law out for us to see? I promised our friends that I’ll convince you to come. If you don’t come, they’ll eat me up!” Somi exclaimed. Her words were so exaggerated, and her tone was so plaintive that Lisa couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

“Eat you? Aren’t they afraid of getting diarrhea?”

“Ah, boss, you know how to tell cold jokes now? Is this a result of sister-in-law’s training? Impressive!” Somi didn’t care about Lisa's attitude at all. Instead, she started to ridicule Lisa.

Hearing that, Lisa raised an eyebrow and suddenly recalled the time Jennie entered her study and started to tell her jokes. Her expression had been cold, and she’d looked so cute that just thinking about it made her want to laugh again.

“I’ll try, but if I can’t, we can get together next time. The class reunion involves too many people,” he explained, avoiding Somi's request for Jennie to attend.

“If you come, you have to bring sister-in-law along too. I know there’ll be a lot of people attending, and you probably don’t want to go, but everyone wants to see you. That’s why I have to at least ask…”

The two said a few more words to each other before hanging up, and immediately after, Lisa received a call from Jennie.

“My call wouldn’t connect. Who were you talking to?” Jennie sounded a bit unhappy, but she didn’t intend to interrogate Lisa. She just wanted to know because several of her calls had gone straight to voicemail.

“I was going to call you, but then a classmate called first. It’s late, have you had dinner?” Lisa hurriedly explained.

At the same time, a thread of sweetness wound around her heart. She felt like a wife who was being cared for by her partner. It was a very wonderful feeling.

A lot of people hate being checked on and questioned, but what do they know? Women ask questions because they care. If they didn’t, then they wouldn’t ask at all.

“Classmate? Lee Sunmi?”

She hadn’t planned to interrogate her, but hearing the word “classmate” made her even more unhappy.

Wasn’t that woman acting a bit too carefree? Despite knowing that Lisa and Jennie were married, she was still trying to get close to Lisa. How vexing!

“No, it was a former roommate called Jeon Somi. She wants me to attend the class reunion, but I’m sure Sunmi will also be there, so I declined,” Lisa answered honestly, as she didn’t want her to misunderstand.

Her eyes narrowed and flashed coldly. To Lisa's surprise, she said, “Since she wants you to go, you should go. Why should you decline because of Sunmi? That makes it seem as if you’re scared of her! I’ll go too, let’s see if she’ll still dare to put her greedy eyes on you!”

The domineering Jennie refused to accommodate for others. The social circle of Seoul was big. What, were they supposed to avoid Sunmi every time? Ridiculous! 

Her irritated and domineering tone shocked Lisa, but soon after, she revealed a smile. Heavens knew how much she wanted to attend the class reunion with Jennie. She had assumed that Jennie would reject and didn’t expect her to actually bring it up herself. Of course, she wasn’t going to say no.

“Okay, I’ll go tell her right now!”
