Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 7

Chapter 1298: Person Under Her

CEO Xiong's words were actually trying to probe further.

Still, Qiutong did not deny. "I do agree with you, CEO Xiong. This child is like me."

Chaerin was only a few steps away, and when she heard Qiutong speak ambiguously with the topic moving towards a dangerous one, her face was turning black from anger...

If she let her continue on like this, all of the scandals just might be revealed then and there!

Chaerin immediately walked over swiftly. "Qiutong, you're here too!"

Qiutong shot her a look, then said with a cold gaze, "Why? Can't I come?"

Chaerin suppressed her fury. She did not fight with her and just looked sharply at Jennie. "This child, why don't you address me when you see me? Don't know how to address me as your foster mother anymore?"

Before Jennie could speak, Qiutong sneered, "I think you should let someone else call you foster mother!"

Qiutong did not give Chaerin any face at all. She was like an old hen protecting her chick, steadily shielding Jennie behind her. She had brought the person over, so naturally, she would not let her be wronged.

When he heard Chaerin's words, CEO Xiong revealed an understanding expression.

So, that was where this girl came from! It turns out that it was the rumored adopted daughter of the Kim family!

Did they not say that she was not presentable at all? This did not seem to be the case today! She was much more charismatic than the real daughter of the Kim family.

If that was the case, Qiutong's attitude was enough to raise suspicions. Why would she be so nice to an adoptee? In fact, her words to Chaerin were quite odd too.

Never mind. Every family had its problems and he did not want to be caught in this mess, so he left after a short chat.

After CEO Xiong left, Chaerin quickly said, " Qiutong, don't air your dirty laundry in public! How does it benefit you to cause such a ruckus? Do you want us Kims to be implicated by this girl? The elder's health is not in good shape. If you cause any more trouble, you might want to consider the consequences!"

Qiutong's eyes squinted. "Cousin-in-law, I don't know if cousin has ever told you that the thing I hate the most is others threatening me!"

Now that the interest of the Kim family had been confirmed, the change in the heirs would turn the company upside down. Before everything was ready, she did not want to act blindly. She needed to at least be sure that Jennie would not be hurt in this storm.

However, this did not mean that she had to accept this woman's threats.

"You..." After Chaerin was threatened instead, she looked upset. However, looking at Qiutong's attitude, she seemed to have some concerns, so to avoid infuriating her further and causing a backlash, she left angrily.

It looked like she really needed to find time to settle the shares issue to avoid any more delay or trouble...

"How did you survive these past few years?" Qiutong looked at Jennie with a frown.

Jennie laughed, "It's alright. Apart from the year that I returned to the Kim family, everything has been quite alright."

Qiutong felt worse hearing this. She took a deep breath and pulled Jennie to meet all the influential people in the circle, introducing her to those worth knowing and networking with.

Even if Jennie had the title as an adopted daughter, she was someone under her. No one would dare to disrespect her!

The truth was such. Even though many people felt odd that Qiutong was lifting the reputation of the adopted daughter from the Kim family, they had given face to her. Besides, this girl was charismatic and beautiful, plus her current level of fame did not lose to Krystal's. Naturally, they were happy to honor Qiutong as well.

Krystal watched from the side as her father's sister, her aunt, helped Jennie and felt her face turn pale from anger..
