She considered reminding Lee Jingyuan to be wary of Somi.
However, Somi was his blood related granddaughter. What position was she supposed to use to remind him of this? No one would suspect their own granddaughter, right?
This could even lead her to be seen as someone harboring unfathomable motives.
Somi suddenly rushed over urgently. "Grandfather, why didn't you tell me that you were coming? The Manoban family's yard is so big. It wasn't easy for me to find you."
She saw that Jennie was also present and her heart instantly skipped a beat.
She absolutely could not allow these two people to become too familiar with each other!
Lee Jingyuan responded to Somi. "Somi ah, Grandfather is worried that you're not living well in the old mansion. I came specially to see you. In fact, I know Chongshan, that old man, rather well. I was allowed to enter the Manoban family's mansion without any trouble."
"Is that so? That's wonderful." Although Somi responded this way, she felt that this wasn't a good thing.
Jingyuan repeatedly interfered with her inheritance of the Lee Group. If backed into a corner, she would have to eliminate him... If Lee Jingyuan and Chongshan Manoban were close, and the Manoban family interfered with his death, she would have to face trouble. In that case, she would have to be especially careful about this matter.
"I'll take my leave first." Jennie did not wish to disturb their reunion. Thus, she headed for the Manoban family's old mansion.
"Wait a moment." Jingyuan took in her backview and strangely felt that he could not bear to part from her. "Jennie, ah. Could you give Grandfather your phone number?"
Grandfather... Somi's heart began pounding when she heard the way Jingyuan addressed himself to Jennie.
He even called her 'Jennie' so familiarly.
Could it be that this old man had discovered something?
"I addressed myself as your Grandfather without your approval." Jingyan explained. "Jennie, since I'm older than you, don't mind this."
"You're my elder. It's only right that I address you as Grandfather." Jennie's heart was warm. She turned back and brought her phone out to say. "Please give me your phone number. I will give you a call."
He did as she said.
She then quickly dialled his number, exchanging contact information with him.
Somi's expression turned dark for a moment.
After Jennie had left, she leaned against Jingyuan's shoulder sweetly. "Grandfather, why are you treating a stranger so well? I'm your actual granddaughter!"
Lee Jingyuan could not explain why he was strangely very fond of Jennie from the first moment. But he found a suitable excuse to placate her. "She will soon become Madam Manoban. Although the Lee Group is also an influential family like the Manoban family, we are still second to them. There are benefits to building a good relationship with her."
"Is that so?" Somi's voice was filled with grievance. "I thought you didn't like me as your granddaughter."
Jingyuan patted her on the shoulder dotingly. "You're my only living relative. How could I possibly dislike you? In the future, the Lee Group will rely on you."
"Grandfather, when will you let me work at the Lee Group then?" Only by stepping into the Lee Group could she gain better control of the Lee family's finances.
"There's no rush. You should train for a little while more." Jingyuan patted himself on the chest. "Grandfather is still as healthy as a bull. I can manage the company for another ten years with no problem."
Somi harrumphed coldly... if she waited for those many years, everything would be meaningless by then!
This old thing had better not force her to push him into a coffin.
"I'll be working at the Sheng Shi Group from tomorrow onwards." She took a step backwards in an attempt to make several steps forward.
She said softly, "If I perform well at my cousin's company, I'm not sure if I'll have the time to take over the Lee Group in the future. You know that I only wish to be your granddaughter. I'm not interested in the Lee Group's money."
