Chapter 136: The Story of the Wild Vegetables

Jennie still looked at Jisoo indifferently, but she didn't say anything.

"I remember that at this time last year, you were still a little girl who liked to watch fireworks." Jisoo missed those years very much. At that time, his biological sister was still by his side.

"So the evidence that you said you have on Zhao Fang is just a pretense to lure me here?" Jennie really regretted coming out of the Mo Residence and getting into Jisoo's car.

"It's my fault for lying to you first, but Jen, I really want to give you more happiness to make up for your unhappiness in the past." Jisoo's voice was choked with sobs. Perhaps he had lived for nearly thirty years. When Jennie needed family the most, not standing by her side was the thing he regretted the most.

Jennie shifted her gaze away from Jisoo and started to size up the scenery around the venue. The sun was setting. She raised her eyes and looked into the distance. The boundary between the heavens and the earth gradually became blurry, and the yellowish sunlight scattered in it. This atmosphere was indeed nostalgic, and it was easy to recall the past that had quietly passed.

Jennie took two steps forward and casually broke off a stalk of wild grass by the side of the road. She turned around and said to Jisoo, "For as long as I can remember, I've been in the countryside. Every spring, there's a kind of wild grass called Cui Zhu growing all over the mountains and plains. This wild grass is very delicious, but it's extremely difficult to make. The requirements for the heat are especially harsh. It's easy for it to melt if the fire is too big, but it would be half-cooked if the fire is too small."

Although Jisoo did not understand why Jennie was telling this story about weeds, he still listened to her patiently.

"I like this dish very much, so I dig up a lot of this Cui Zhu grass every spring. I don't know how many times I fell and was injured because of this. Then, I would return home while sweating profusely and try to cook it again and again. However, I just couldn't succeed in cooking this dish. Year after year, after three to five years, I still didn't know how to cook it. In the end, I realized that I suddenly didn't like to eat this dish, and even said that I hated this dish. Why do you think this is?"

Jisoo was listening carefully to every word that Jennie said. Actually, the question that she raised was not difficult to answer. "Perhaps you've sacrificed too much for this dish, so much so that when you think of it, you feel that it's very tough, so you naturally resist it from the bottom of your heart?"

Jennie's back was facing Jisoo, so at this moment, he could only see her back which was nodding gently. "At that time, I didn't understand either. It was only later that I understood. Because when I saw this Cui Zhu grass, my first reaction was that it was no longer a delicious delicacy, but the injuries on my hands and the sweat on my head. Naturally, I hated this dish more and more. For example, your Kim family in my eyes now."

At this point, Jennie turned around and saw the shock in Jisoo's eyes. It turned out that she wasn't telling the story of wild vegetables for no reason. She had been telling him about herself all along.

"Jisoo, just like you said, a year ago, I was like a little girl. A little girl who wanted to integrate into the Kim family. At that time, I always thought that as long as I was more sensible and obedient, my parents and brothers would definitely love me as much as they loved Soo Yun. That process was too torturous and hard. Therefore, when I think of your Kim family now, when I think of going back to that family, I feel unhappy. It's all because of the depression from before."

Jennie's every word came from the bottom of her heart. She only hoped that Jisoo could understand what she meant. To her, the best compensation now was that the Kim family would never disturb her.

"Jen, I really..."

Before Jisoo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jennie, "Jisoo, if you really want to make it up to me, please think from my perspective and understand my story seriously, okay?"

When Jennie said this, Jisoo did not say anything. There were so many freak combinations of factors in this world. Perhaps there was no longer any fate between him and Jennie. When she wanted her brother to dote on her, he did not notice her. But now, she had already survived all the difficult years alone and no longer needed him.

In the end, it was a belated affection. It was nothing. 

"Let's go back!" Jennie only wanted to return to the Manoban Residence and Lisa's side.

Jisoo was stunned for two to three seconds, but he didn't say anything else. He personally opened the car door and escorted Jennie into the car.

They were halfway back and were about to enter the city. However, neither of them spoke since they got into the car. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
