My Sweet Young Wife [JENLISA] (1)

Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Meeting Old Friends

She wanted to lie and say that she had picked it up from the roadside, but this excuse seemed to be exposed easily. Hence, Jennie smiled foolishly and said, “Then our family has really profited. It’s like this. My parents’ medical skills are very good. A few years ago, they coincidentally saved an uncle. That uncle was especially grateful and happened to be a rich person, so he sent us a lot of thank-you gifts. These peony flowers are among them.”

Lisa nodded and asked in confusion, “But this breed of peony is very difficult to raise. It almost needs to be taken care of every day. Your parents have already passed away, and you’ve been outside all this time. Why…”

“My parents had a friend when they were alive. He doesn’t live too far from here. He and my father were sworn friends for life. He couldn’t bear to let the place they used to live in be in ruins, so he often came to clean and take care of the flowers and plants.”

Jennie would not tell him that she had specially found someone to pay them five to six thousand yuan a month to clean up every day. Because she was coming back these few days, she had informed him in advance to rest for a few days.

When Lisa heard Jennie’s explanation, he looked up and saw that the entire courtyard was indeed very clean and tidy. It didn’t look like it was uninhabited at all.

“Nini, you’re back!” The girl at the door cheered.

“Nayeon,” Jennie replied with equal joy.

Nayeon was Jennie’s best friend in the countryside. Of course, this friend only knew that her name was Ning Qing. Five years ago, her parents had earned quick money from doing business and moved to a big city to live.

However, she didn’t expect that there would be wins and losses in the business world. Their business’s success and failure were both due to the same person. Three years later, because her father’s investment failed, her entire family moved back to the countryside.

“When did you come back? That’s great! I missed you so much!” Nayeon ran to Jennie and hugged her.

“You came just as I entered,” Jennie replied as she hugged Nayeon tightly.

“Nini, I miss you too much.”

Nayeon still did not let go. She hugged her so tightly that Jennie started to cough.

“Are you alright? Are you alright?” Nayeon let go of Jennie and said with concern, “Nini, why do I feel that you’ve become thinner than before after going to a big city for nearly a year?!” Nayeon sized up Jennie from head to toe. She was sure that she wasn’t wrong. Her friend was indeed thinner than before.

Jennie only smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Nayeon continued to ask, “Nini, how are your biological parents? Are they good to you? Do they look down on you for growing up in the countryside?”

Nayeon was straightforward and said whatever she wanted in front of her best friend, Jennie, who had been her best friend since she was young. She did not envy Jennie’s parents for being rich. After living with her parents in the big city for three years, most of the rich people she saw had bad attitudes. Therefore, it was inevitable that she would have preconceived notions about Jennie’s biological parents.

However, her preconceived notions this time were very correct.

The series of questions stunned Jennie. None of these questions were what she wanted to answer, so she just smiled and didn’t speak.

Lisa stood there like air and was completely ignored by the two sisters. In the end, he could only cough twice before Nayeon shifted his gaze to him.

“This is…?”

This question stumped Jennie even more. How should she explain Lisa’s identity? The two of them were only a fake couple. Would it be a little inappropriate to directly introduce him as her husband? Just as she was feeling conflicted, Nayeon directly said, “Is he your biological uncle? He specially sent you back to pay respects to your parents, right?”

Uncle?

Indeed, no matter how handsome Lisa was, he was in his thirties after all. In addition, he usually didn’t like to talk or smile and always had an ice-cold expression. No matter what, his identity as an uncle was much more suitable than her husband.

Jennie smiled awkwardly and didn’t refute.

Lisa’s face instantly turned green.

“Hello, Uncle. Thank you for taking care of Nini. She’s a strong person. Even if she’s unhappy, she rarely shows it. You have to treat her better in the future.”

When did it become someone else’s turn to entrust his wife to him? Moreover, not to mention taking care of her, he couldn’t wait to dote on her every day.

“Alright, alright, Bunny. I haven’t seen you for more than a year. Don’t just talk about me. Hurry up and talk to me about your changes.” Jennie pulled Nayeon’s hand and changed the topic.

“I’m still the same. Nothing new has happened. By the way, Nini, do you know? In the past six months that he hasn’t seen you, my brother has been lovesick.”
