"Why is it too much?" Chongshan was unmoved. "Jennie is my Manoban family's proper granddaughter-in-law. She has the right to manage the Manoban family's servants however she likes."
Somi did not expect the Elder to be this biased towards Jennie. She was angered to the point where she felt like vomiting blood. However, she put on a fake smile. "Grandfather is right."
Chongshan seemed to have thought of something and frowned unhappily. "Somi, in the future, don't carelessly accuse your cousin-in-law of crossing the line. An outsider like you does not have the right to judge the Manoban family's matters. Do you understand?"
"Grandfather..." Somi did not expect the old thing to say this. The anger in her heart immediately worsened.
Chongshan took in the dissatisfaction on her face. His expression immediately turned cold. "Previously, when I was nearly stabbed by Hao Changsheng, it was your cousin-in-law who sent someone to protect me. Furthermore, your aunt Ye Yunzhi's life was also saved by Jennie. In the Manoban family, Jennie is an important benefactor of ours and no one has the right to insult her."
"I understand." Somi lowered her head.
Chongshan seemed to guess that she was upset. "If you're not happy about this, haven't you already found your blood relative? I believe that Old Lee will welcome you at his home. You can leave anytime you please."
Somi urgently declared. "It's true that my grandfather, Lee Jingyuan, is happy to welcome me. But I'm not someone who will forget about the kindness others have shown me. It was the Manoban family that raised me. The Manoban family will always be my home."
Her fanciful words sounded sincere. Truthfully, however, Lee Jingyuan had only given her two million dollars and bought her some clothes and accessories. She had not received anything else from him.
That Old Lee had even stopped her from stepping into the Lee Group's management.
It was different staying in the Manoban home. Every month, she had a significant sum of pocket money. Every season, she also received clothes and make-up... Every three to five years, she got a new car.
It wasn't as if the Lee family would run away. There was no harm in holding onto the both of them and receiving twice the benefits.
Besides, remaining in the Bai family was the only way of growing close to Lisa.
Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to obtain any opportunities to meet Lisa.
Somi glanced surreptitiously at Jennie.
She wouldn't be as foolish as the stupid Krystal who seduced Lisa without knowing her own worth.
She would only have the opportunity to become Madam Manoban after thoroughly eliminating Jennie, who was the greatest obstacle in her path.
She refused to believe it. If Jennie died, would Lisa possibly die with her?
She had countless vicious thoughts, yet she spoke apologetically to Jennie on the surface. "I'm sorry, Cousin-in-law. I was a little disrespectful earlier. I shouldn't have been so compassionate to the point where I even tried to stand up for the maid."
Jennie raised her brows. "I didn't think that you were compassionate in any way."
A hint of humiliation appeared on Somi's refined facade. She forced out a smile and said a few polite words before leaving.
Elder Chongshan smiled dotingly at Jennie. "Granddaughter-in-law, don't mind an outsider. In the Manoban home, Grandfather will always be on your side."
Jennie was deeply moved.
...
Several hours later, Lisa's subordinates received news that the unknown woman who previously threatened Gao Ru was Ji Qing.
Lisa learned that Ji Qing had tried to hurt Jennie's eyes. He immediately commanded his people to tie Ji Qing to a heavy boulder and toss her into the sea.
The stunning, boundless ocean rippled for but a moment.
That night, Lisa and Jennie had been intimate once in their room when someone knocked against their door.
"Who is it?" Lisa responded with some irritation.
"Young Master, it's me." It was Yu Ting Villa's Butler Zhao Cheng's voice. "I have something to report to you."
