Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 3

Chapter 552: Drastic Changes

As Jennie followed the elder into the banquet hall, everyone started whispering to each other.

"Who's the girl beside Elder Kim? She came here dressed like that?"

"I heard the elder call her Jennie just now, could it be...the adopted daughter, Jennie?"

"So that's her! It's been five years and she's still like that, there's been no improvement at all!"

"Hehe, she's still wearing pirated goods after five years. Has her taste in clothes not improved?"

...

Jennie had been going around to do some furniture shopping for the studio decoration with Eunwoo and Leo, so she had casually worn just a leather jacket with jeans, and tied a neat ponytail.

However, because all of the ladies there that night were wearing long dresses and high heels, she stood out like a sore thumb.

The elder was over the moon about his granddaughter's return and could not care less about what Jennie wore, so he kept on talking to Jennie until Mrs Kim had to remind him about the guests waiting for him. Eventually, she let Tianxin accompany Jennie to get something to eat.

After the elder had left to see to the guests, any trace of a smile left Mrs Kim's face as she looked at Jennie with despise. "Take a look in the mirror. Don't you know what day it is?"

Krystal rushed to say, "Mother, don't blame Sister, she must have rushed here and had no time to change!"

She acted as if she was afraid of Jennie getting angry at her. She walked up to her, "Sister, if you don't mind, do you want to change into one of my outfits upstairs?"

"What are you waiting for? Go and follow Krystal to change! You've been so busy but you never do anything properly. Who knows what kind of trouble you're involved in?!" To Mrs Kim, Jennie was the bane of her existence and she could not even stand looking at her.

When she was younger, Jennie would have been embarrassed if she was scolded like that the last time, but now she just glanced at Mrs Kim. "Oh, it wouldn't really matter to you whether I got changed or not. Aren't you being a bit too controlling, Madam Kim?"

She then took hold of Tianxin's hand and headed for dessert.

"You...you..." Mrs Kim sputtered in frustration, "Krystal, look at her, does she still treat me as a mother? She's got no manners at all!"

Krystal was gloating happily as she comforted Mrs Kim and pretended to speak up for Jennie, but the more she said, the deeper Mrs Kim's hatred for her own daughter ran...

Oblivious to her mother's anger, Jennie sat down at a table with Tianxin. She helped herself to some wine and felt no awkwardness about crashing an unfamiliar place. It was as if the place was her backyard garden and what had happened here was merely a hilarious performance which she was taking as entertainment.

Tianxin looked at her cousin sister with her nonchalant attitude in surprise. "Jennie, you've changed a lot over the years!"

Jennie raised her eyebrows. "Have I?"

When she was discovered wearing a ripped-off dress five years ago, she recalled feeling like she might as well have been naked in public and her world collapsed under the mockery and the looks of disgust from everyone...

But now...

By comparison, it seemed that there had been drastic changes over the years...
