Krystal was so surprised to see this familiar face that she almost bolted from her seat. It really is Jennie! How could this be? Song Lian and his two lackeys aren't weaklings. It should be a piece of cake for them to deal with a mere Jennie Kim.
Everything has been arranged, but Jennie still..
"Jennie!" JaeHee rushed over nervously the
moment he saw his daughter.
"Jennie, what happened to you?"
The worrying look in JaeHee's eyes warmed
Jennie's heart. She could feel it. JaeHee truly loved his daughter. Even though she was a loser his love for her as a father had not lessened.
A pity. The real Jennie Kim was dead.
Jennie patted JaeHee's hand and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, Father. I'm fine."
JaeHee was still unconvinced even after her
reassurance. However, upon a closer look, she didn't seem to be hurt. He finally let go of that stone in his heart. For some reason, he was puzzled when he saw the smile on his daughter's face.
There was something different about her. In the past, Jennie was always submissive and delicate. However, at this moment, her black irises seemed to be sparkling like the brightest stars in the
night sky.
"Sister, you're back! I was sick with worry."
Jennie looked up and saw that Krystal looked ecstatic as if she was truly happy to see Jennie
Worried? Chu Liuyue sneered inwardly. Krystal's worry was more from fear of seeing her safe return.
"Oh? Were you really worried about me, Third Sister? seem to recall that you were accusing me of theft just now when I was standing outside."
Retorted Jennie, unflustered. Krystal felt a cold sweat form on her back in an instant.
What the h*ll is going on with this Jennie? Not only did she survive her ordeal, but she also seems to be a changed person! She actually dared to question me in front of so many people!
"Dear Sister, you must be mistaken. You were
not back, and it was getting late. I was anxious and came to ask First Elder about it." With that, her eyes started to well up with tears again.
"After all... you can't even Protect yourself. if you were bullied while you were out, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." Krystal was deliberately mocking her for being a loser because she couldn't cultivate.
If it was the former Jennie Kim, she would have been deceived by Krystal's act, that the latter had truly been worried. However, Jennie was a changed person. She would not be tricked by Krystal's unorthodox means.
Krystal was the most gifted amongst the Kim family's younger generation. By saying such things, she was implying that Jennie was useless. Even her leaving the house was a problem!
Sure enough, First Elder's eyes immediately filled with disgust as he reprimanded angrily.
"Who knows what you've been doing out so late
today! If you can't even handle such trivial matters, don't bother going out anymore! You'll only shame our family name. Such a good-for-nothing!"
JaeHee's expression suddenly turned cold. He
stepped forward, shielding Jennie behind him. With both fists tightly clenched by his side, he forced himself to restrain his emotions.
"First Elder, Jennie is still a child. Aren't you being too harsh on her?"
He might not be who he used to be, but he simply
couldn't allow other people to bully his daughter.
