In regards to Jennie's situation, Lisa didn't have much to say. She felt that the current Jennie had feelings for Taehyung, so it was best to leave this matter to the parties involved.

And not long after, someone from the auction house called to inform that they had found a buyer for Jisoo, asking her to come over. When Jisoo received the money, she was very happy.

"President Manoban, I really have to thank you this time. With this money, my mother's surgery expenses won't be a problem."

Lisa comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, everything will turn out fine. As long as your mother's condition is handled properly, there won't be any issues."

"Yes, by the way, President Manoban, I know this is quite embarrassing, but... once my mother recovers, I plan to resign." Jisoo had long made this decision. She could not continue to stay in this city. She had a feeling that Suho would not let her go. Now that he had bought the ring he gave her years ago, she felt uneasy. If it weren't for her mother needing surgery, she would have left with her mother's family directly.

In fact, her mother was her adoptive mother. Her adoptive mother had saved her when she was on the brink of death back then. She could not endanger her adoptive mother and her adoptive mother's son, who was her brother. That child was still young, and if that lunatic Suho found out, she did not know what he would do.

Lisa saw that her decision was firm and did not say much. She could sense that there was a lot going on with Jisoo, but all she could do was respect her choices.

What they did not know was that the person who had bought the ring at the auction had immediately contacted someone upon receiving the ring. "Mr. Kim, I've got the ring, and it's indeed the one you gave to Miss Kim back then. The engraving is still there, no mistake. However, the one who came to sell the ring wasn't Miss Kim, it was Miss Manoban and a stranger."

Suho replied, "Send me the information of that stranger within half an hour." He had never failed to obtain something he desired in his life. Tong Wanzhe was no exception. No matter where she fled, he would find her.

"Understood."

On Jisoo's side, she had bought a bouquet of lilies and carefully arranged them in a glass vase.

Mei Yuxia, with her pale face, wore a gentle smile. "Why did you suddenly think of buying flowers?"

Jisoo's eyes curved as she replied, "You'll be having surgery soon, and once it's done, you'll be all better. I just wanted to brighten your mood."

Mentioning this, Mei Yuxia sighed, "I'm already in my sixties. Whether this illness is treated or not, it doesn't make much of a difference. Why waste your hard-earned money on it? You're still young, and this money could be put to better use..."

Jisoo's gaze was gentle yet resolute. "Spending money to get you treated is never a waste. Please don't say such things in the future."

"I only took you in from the riverside and raised you for over a year. I'm not worth you being this good to me." In reality, Mei Yuxia hadn't done much after finding Jisoo. She had only taken her to the hospital and offered her a place to stay for a while. It was Jisoo who had been tirelessly earning money to treat her illness and even supporting her son's education. She owed everything to Jisoo, and if she hadn't fallen ill, Jisoo wouldn't be burdened like this now.

"Don't say that. You gave me a second chance at life, and all of this is what I should do." Jisoo stayed with Mei Yuxia until evening, tucked her into bed, and stood up. "I have another part-time job tonight. You rest well, and I'll leave now." For Jisoo, without Mei Yuxia's help back then, she wouldn't have had the courage to survive.
