Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 3

Chapter 551: Worried About The Wife Being Alone

If Jennie became the legitimate heir, then...

Krystal could not accept the thought of how she would live a life of poverty back in the poor village! Even if the Kim family kept her, she could not bear the thought of being under Jennie!

She was the Kim family's daughter and she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. There was no way she would allow this witch to take away all of that from her!

That's right, she was the one and only daughter of the Kim family! Even bloodline could not change that!

Krystal took a deep breath to calm herself down, then she went up to Jennie and held her arms, saying in a trembling voice, "Sister, please don't leave, alright? Please don't be angry with Father and Mother! They have been preparing to announce your identity a long time ago, but you didn't want to come back and join the company...

"You can put all the blame on me, it's all my fault, do whatever you want to me. If you really don't want to see me here, I'll leave now! But please, sister, don't go!

"Even if you don't want to see us, think about Grandfather! Grandfather really missed you! At least take a bite of Grandfather's birthday cake! What could possibly make you miss Grandfather's birthday?"

Krystal's words were phrased cleverly, indirectly blaming matters on Jennie, at the same time expressing her awkward position in the Kim family, and most importantly, showing how filial she was towards Grandfather...

Mrs Kim felt sorry for her. "Krystal, what are you talking about? Where are you going? You shouldn't be the one leaving!"

The elder looked much kinder now, seeing Krystal ask Jennie to stay as well. Of course, he would not chase Krystal away, so he went along with her. "Jennie, it's such a rare occasion that you're back. Stay for a while more, alright?"

Jennie looked at the elder's eyes silently, and in the end, she nodded. "Okay."

It was already clear that she would disappoint him by never fulfilling his wish of giving birth to a great-grandchild for him.

It would be impossible for her to go back to the Kim family or to join the company, so she was not cruel enough to decline his simple request uppfront.

"That's great! Come inside! It's cold outside!" The elder delightedly went back into the house with the help of Tianxin and Jennie.

Krystal was left behind. She gave them a cold stare when she saw Tianxin and Jennie helped Zhiyuan back inside.

Seeing that the elder was settled, Mrs Kim let out a sigh of relief. She walked up to Krystal kindly and held her hands apologetically. "Krystal, it must be hard for you!"

No matter what happened at home, she was always mature and cared about everyone's feelings.

Chairman Kim felt heartbroken for her as well. He sighed, "Krystal, don't take it personally, your grandfather just missed Jennie too much and was excited. He did not mean what he said, I'm still in charge of the company right now, don't worry!"

"Thank you, Father, Mother...I understand!"

...

After Grandfather had calmed down, Jennie sent Lisa a message: [I need to stay here with my grandfather for a little while more. Will be late. Take Leo back home first, I'll pick him up from Platinum Palace later.]

Lisa's face fell when he read her message in his office.

Lisa understood that no matter how strong Jennie looked, she still had her soft spot, which was the Kim family.

He knew a thing or two about what had happened to her in the Kim family...

Although Jennie sounded casual in the text message, how could he be not worried about leaving her alone at that place?
