Jennie's short reply tamed Lisa instantly. Kai was silent for some time, then he hung up the phone.
Jennie felt a little odd after the call was hung up. She asked Lisa, "Hon, what did that guy say on the phone?"
Lisa had not seemed very alright just now...
Lisa replied, "He asked if it's still possible for the both of you."
Jennie was speechless.
It took some time for Jennie to get her voice back. Her mouth twitched. "Is there a hole in this guy's brain?"
Lisa did not say anything. He glanced over at the girl as he pursed up his lips.
He had already realized something was not right with the way Kai looked at Jennie, especially on the night of the award ceremony...
As a man, he perfectly understood the intention in Kai's gaze towards Jennie.
His girl was becoming more and more amazing, turning more attractive than ever...
"Hon, don't mind him. If you care what he says, your standards will drop!"
Jennie's eyes turned cold.
Was it still possible?
Where did he even find the courage to ask that?
...
At the Su's residence.
Krystal had just returned from the press conference.
Leaving the entertainment industry was just the beginning. Things were about to get messier.
The moment she returned home, the whole family was there, including Su Hongguang, Zheng Minjun, Su Xun, and Zhao Shanshan.
Everyone except Kai.
"Father, Mother, Su Xun, Shanshan..." Krystal greeted everyone.
"Wow! Look at who this is? Our star is back!" Zhao Shanshan said with a sarcastic tone. She would never pass up a chance to humiliate Krystal.
Zheng Minjun's expression looked terrible. She stared at Krystal. "Why are you back so late?"
She had been alright with Krystal when she had not been aware that she was the foster daughter of the Kims. However, ever since she found out about it, especially when she saw her vulgar-looking mother and grandmother, she felt disgusted towards Krystal.
She was becoming the joke among her circle of friends and was too afraid to go out as people might look at her weirdly. She feared that people might mock her for letting her son marry a wild fowl instead of a real phoenix.
If it were not for the 15% of shares in her hands, she would not have tolerated this situation at all!
Krystal hid the anger in her eyes and spoke softly, "I had some things to work on in the company after the press conference..."
Before Krystal could finish explaining herself, Zheng Minjun interrupted her, "Is there anything else more important than your husband? It's been three days since Kai has been absent from the company or even came home! Don't you care about where he went?! Is this how you are as a wife?"
"Mother, I'm sorry. I've been really busy these few days. There're still some procedures to be done at Starlight and I need to check into Kim International. I'll go and look for Kai now..."
Zheng Minjun's temper improved slightly when she heard Krystal was going to work at Kim International, but she still warned, "Don't go anywhere these few days. You know how messy things are thanks to your mother and your grandmother. I don't even dare to attend private parties at the moment! Don't embarrass yourself!"
Krystal clenched her fists while keeping an obedient attitude on the surface. "I got it, Mother. I'll stay at home until this matter cools off."
"Okay, go and look for Kai now!" Zheng Minjun waved her hands impatiently.
