"Where did all this nonsense come from? Hurry up and get in the car." Lisa glanced at her as if he was impatient, but there was a small smile in his eyes.

Somi pursed her lips and said mockingly, "It must be because my sister-in-law wanted to pick me up, otherwise, you wouldn't have come!"

After receiving Lisa's mischievous glance, Somi smiled and got into the car.

As soon as Somi sat in the car, Jennie looked at her in the rearview mirror. She glanced at her loose sportswear and remembered what happened two months ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She took advantage of the time Lisa got in the car to look at Somi's stomach in the rearview mirror. Because of her loose clothes, she couldn't see anything, but ...

Did Somi want to keep everyone in the dark just like that?

Lisa returned to the car, and after a while, the car was driven out of the airport like an arrow that had left a bow.

"Brother, why did you suddenly send Brother Fang to Boston and tell him to take over the company's affairs? Do you not trust my ability?" Somi put her bag on the side and lazily leaned against the back seat.

It was only now that Jennie realized that Somi would get rid of her cold and arrogant attitude when she was with Lisa. She had no sense of pride at all.

Lisa looked at the road ahead with indifference. "Other than GD, he's the only one who can make me feel at ease. If I don't let him take over, you will definitely not go home."

"Isn't the old man just celebrating his birthday?" Somi tilted her head and snickered. "How many years has it been since the last time I came back? If it weren't for me wanting to meet my new sister-in-law two months ago, I wouldn't even have bothered to take a step into the Manoban Residence! If that old man really cared whether I'd come back or not, why wait till now? Why are you the one who had to tell me to come back? Those people already have a happy life even without me there."

"Those people?" Lisa's voice was cold. "Isn't your surname is Manoban too?"

Somi snorted coldly, "So what if my surname is Manoban? It wasn't as good as Diana's! Anyway, if it weren't for you and sister-in-law, I wouldn't bother to come back this time."

Jennie was just quietly listening to the conversation between the two siblings. She did not want to interrupt, but seeing Lisa's unhappy face, she had to open her mouth and tried to alleviate their fights. "Somi ~"

Jennie looked back and smiled at Somi. "We'll go back to the Manoban Residence tomorrow. Do you want to stay with us tonight?"

"No, I don't want to bother both of you." Somi replied half-jokingly, but she also seemed to be used to treating herself as someone who was not taken seriously. Her eyes were calm and her voice was clear and cold. "I'll stay at the hotel."

"You don't want to try my cooking?" Jennie tried to persuade her. "Even your brother has a new level of respect for my culinary skills. Wouldn't you like to try it too?"

Somi forced a smile on her face, but she did not waver, "No need, I will stay at the hotel."

For a moment, Jennie sensed that Somi had seen through her intentions and understood her good intentions. However, she purposefully rejected this kind of intention. It was as it made her feel she was being pitied and comforted.

That was why she rejected the offer so straightforwardly.

Noticing Lisa's gaze on her, Jennie turned around and saw him looking back at her. The look in his eyes was telling her that this trick wouldn't work on Somi. He was telling her not to waste her breath.

"Sister-in-law, don't you see how calm my brother is?" Somi suddenly changed the topic with a smile. "He can't do anything to me now because he's too lazy to bother with me. When I was young, I was the only one who could make his hair stand on end."

"Are you for real? Lisa had a temper too?" Jennie looked at Lisa in disbelief, while the latter's face darkened by half.

"Of course, but you can't be too obedient or too rational in order to make my brother explode. You have to use reverse thinking, and if you intentionally anger him, he won't be angry, but will still be able to beat you half to death. You have to push him to that point bit by bit inadvertently." Somi gently pushed strands of hair behind her ear, then continued to share her precious experience.

"When we were young, he always protected Diana, so I definitely would run to mom and tell her about it with tears."

"My brother has always received love letters, chocolates, and the like at school since he was eleven years old, but he always ignored them. Some of the girls would also suddenly appear in front of him and hand him the folded love letters, but he never took them. When I found out later on, I always stuck to him. Whenever I saw a girl sending a love letter or something delicious, I would accept it for him."

"Afterwards, those girls found me very easy to talk to. They always gave me chocolates and also had me deliver those love letters. I put those love letters in my bag and took them home, reading them out loud in front of my parents and grandfather."

"Then, there was one time when a particularly overbearing girl blocked my brother's way and insisted on asking him if he had read her love letter. My brother directly bypassed her and left, but that girl actually entangled him and held onto him like a koala. At that time, my brother looked at that girl like she was a monster. I sympathized with her, so I went to her and said that my brother already read her love letter. He really likes you and you are going to be my sister-in-law."

"And then? What happened next?" Jennie listened with relish.

"Then, my brother immediately became angry. He said, 'Somi! If you continue to act rashly, I'll sell you out!" Somi imitated Lisa's voice, and her expression also was abnormally vivid.

Jennie immediately covered her mouth with her hands. She was laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes. When she turned to look at Lisa, she saw the helplessness in his eyes.

"However, when my brother went to Boston to further his study, I didn't see him again for a few years. Later on, I stayed in the United States and worked in Manoban Corporation for two years. During that time, my brother was especially strict with me. Every time I saw him, I couldn't help but secretly curse him."

"Hmm? You were cursing me?" Lisa suddenly interrupted.

Somi: "...."

She just realized Lisa was also in the car.
