Chapter 1427: Ideas About The Zhuang Family

The sound of a phone ringing interrupted her gloating to herself. Krystal took out her phone to take a look. It was an unknown number.

"Hello? Who's this?" Krystal asked with a sweet and courteous voice, thinking that it was a guest who was calling.

"Krystal... It's me... It's mom..."

Krystal's expression instantly changed. She covered the mouthpiece on her phone and smiled at Kai beside her. "Kai, I'm going to take a call."

"Mmm, go ahead."

Krystal rushed to the courtyard with her phone. The sweet smile on her face instantly vanished, and she spoke sternly now, "Didn't I tell you not to call me?"

There was a pause from the other end, then came the sound of a slightly embarassed voice, "Krystal, I heard that it's your engagement today... As your mother, I just..."

"Shut up!" The sound of "mother" seemed to have touched Krystal's raw nerve. She immediately cut her off sternly.

Lan probably realized her daughter's fear of the taboo, so she immediately changed her words, "I just wanted to congratulate you..."

"There's no need. As long as you pretend that I don't exist, I'd be really grateful to you!"

"Oh, earlier, Jungha went looking for you..."

"How dare you mention Jungha? How many times have I told you guys to never come to the Kim residence?! Did you even hear what I said? Must you ruin me before you're happy?" Once that incident was brought up, Krystal's fury was ignited again. She did not even bother asking about the reason Jungha had come to the Kim residence.

"Krystal, it really hurts me to hear you to speak like this. I know that you don't have it easy in the Kim family either. So as not to cause you trouble, we've never once gone looking for you all these years. This time, it was because we had no other option. That was why we let Jungha make a trip to Imperial..."

"Enough! I'm very busy right now. I've no time to talk about all this with you. Just say it, how much money do you want? But just this once! Please get it straight. You guys have never raised me a single day. I don't have any obligations to you lot and I'm not your ATM!" Krystal immediately guessed that based on the tone of her voice, Jungha had probably come looking for money. She instantly looked disgusted.

"No... Krystal, you've misunderstood... I'm not calling because of money..." Lan never would have thought that her daughter would misunderstand her like that. If it was not for those rogues who had forced them into a tight spot, they would not have troubled her. Still, she had not even asked why Jungha went looking for her at all or what might have happened at home before she uttered such words.

"Krystal, why are you here alone?" Behind her, Kai's mother called out. Kryst did not wait for Lan to explain and quickly hung up.

"Aunty Su..." Krystal rushed to flash her signature sweet-tempered and lovable smile.

"Good child! It won't be long before you have to correct yourself and call me 'Mother-in-law'! I've waited this day for five years!" Kai's mother playfully tugged Krystal's hand affectionately.

Ever since Krystal's identity had been exposed, Kai's mother's attitude towards her had become quite indifferent. Even after Chairman had transferred all his shares to her, it was still hard to return to how it was.

Krystal never would have thought that Kai's mother would suddenly become so friendly towards her. She could not help but feel a little taken aback by the affection, then she quickly revealed a shy and touched expression. "It's my good fortune to have a mother-in-law like you!"

Kai's mother smile spread wide as she tugged at Krystal's hand to say a few more intimate words, then she changed the topic. "Krystal, on your wedding day, is your family inviting anyone from the Zhuang family?"
