Mr Manoban's Daring Wife [Jenlisa]

Chapter 169: Its Rude

After his speech, Jeon Jungkook began to mingle with the crowd, a friendly, but coy as a fox expression on his face. He looked so laid back and companionable, many people found it easy to chat with him. His temper was very good, and he seemed to be the type of person that would always try to prevent a fight.

Jennie was surprised to see him behave like this. It seemed this young man has really changed throughout the years. This transformation was not a rare occurrence. She, too, had changed drastically within two years, but that was with the massive help of therapy and strict regimen in the military. What exactly happened to him for his easily-angered behavior to disappear into the air? Perhaps adulthood had truly changed him, but she highly doubted that.

Her eyes shifted to Lisa who was listening intently to another man. His arm was still loosely wrapped around her waist and every few minutes, he would gently caress her sides while speaking. She found their conversation boring and gave his hand a light pat before walking to the food table.

Along the way, someone very familiar caught her eyes.

"Oh my, Ji-Yoon, your dress is very lovely! Is this part of Versace's new Spring collection?"

"This light pink, as soft as a freshly bloomed cherry blossom flower, suits your pale complexion perfectly!"

"Ji-Yoon, I heard you were hospitalized a while back. Are you alright now?"

Krystal smiled at the small child in front of her, who despite her very young age, had a major say in Jeon Conglomerate.

If there was anyone in this world who Jeon Jungkook valued, it would be his younger sister, Jeon Ji-Yoon. She was a prodigy whose academic skills got her very far in life. Even though she was just eight years old, Jeon Ji-Yoon was already attending middle school with kids four years her senior, but exceedingly more intelligent than them.

Krystal's calculative eyes skimmed over the boring socialites in front of her who was trying their best to appease Jeon Ji-Yoon. She understood why they were doing this.

Jeon Jungkook recently rose to his title as CEO, but there was not a single dating rumor about him. His wealth was practically endless and even if Jeon Conglomerate suffered a fall a while back, they were still filthy rich and seeing as Jeon Jungkook made the company wealthier than before their fall, it was clear to many people just how outstanding this man was.

Many of the socialites wanted to date Jeon Jungkook, or even better yet, become the next Madam Jeon. And who else would be better at appeasing the man aside from his highly treasured Jeon Ji-Yoon, famously known for curbing her brother's tempers?

Rumors had it Jeon Jungkook might've had good relations with his parents, but only love and care for Jeon Ji-Yoon. Ever since she was born, he was always the one handling her celebration dinners and parties. His gift always outranked everybody else's. Whatever Jeon Ji-Yoon wanted; her older brother would get for her.

Krystal laughed inside her head. These women, they were all useless and stupid. Their empty compliments were not making Jeon Ji-Yoon happy, instead, it was the other way around. This girl practically grew up in wealth, hearing compliments about her appearance was a daily occurrence for her.

Krystal decided to outshine all of these socialites in her way of making Jeon Ji-Yoon happy. She looked down at Jeon Ji-Yoon and said, "Ji-Yoon, I heard you did very well on the delivery of your speech in English."

At this, Jeon Ji-Yoon's nonchalant expression changed. The boredom once occupying her eyes was beginning to disperse. "Oh, what about it?"

Krystal gently smiled, one that was filled with love, the same one that many kids loved to see. "The teachers gave you high praises, that much was clear. But I loved how you used English metaphors instead of solely sticking to our idioms. They came harmoniously together."
