I married the second male lead after reincarnating

Chapters 169 & 170

"You and Jisoo have no prior connection. Your willingness to help her last night was already a great favor to her. We cannot afford to have you fall out with the Kim family," Lisa said. She could help Jisoo not only because she saw her past self in her but also because Jisoo had saved her. However, she could not involve Jungkook any further. Besides, the Jeon family was deeply entangled, with hidden connections in various countries, although somewhat dispersed.

The Kim family was not insignificant; dealing with them would not be easy. She did not want to implicate him further. The Jeon family had its own matters to attend to.

Jungkook was not a philanthropist. If it weren't for helping Lisa, he would not have assisted Jisoo. Frankly, he wasn't a good person either, lacking great empathy. If Lisa had agreed, he could have helped Jisoo. Since she did not want him involved, he wouldn't overstep. He just looked at her and said, "Remember, when you can't handle it anymore, you can rely on me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Lisa felt a stir in her heart but didn't respond to his words. She thought of something and asked, "Are your parents still going to the gambling city next week?"

Jungkook remembered what she had told him last time. "They're not going anymore... I'll go; there's something I need to handle there, something that can't be avoided."

Lisa, who had just relaxed, now found out that Jungkook would be going. She looked at him, silent for a long time, then said, "Be careful. That dream felt incredibly real. I don't know what might happen if someone else experiences it, but you need to be cautious..."

"Don't worry, I will be," Jungkook assured her. Lisa did not say more; she tidied up and went to work.

After she left, Eunwoo immediately said, "Brother Kook, true emotions have never been able to hold on to someone's heart; it's the schemes that win people over. Your deep affection tactic isn't working well. I still say, just deal with your sister-in-law directly; love will naturally follow. Isn't this faster than the current progress?"

Jungkook calmly replied, "This method might work on others, but not on Lili." Lisa was stubborn; if someone wronged her, she wouldn't give them another chance. Sehun was the best example. He could not afford to give Lisa a reason to hate him.

He wanted to step into her heart, taking it one slow step at a time.

Eunwoo could not help but make a clicking sound with his tongue twice. "Looking at your calm and composed demeanor, one would think you've already succeeded. The way you are..."

Jungkook cast a sidelong glance at him. "Are you idle?"

Eunwoo immediately stood up. "I'm actually quite busy. I'll take my leave."

"What? Mingyu is in prison?" Lisa was somewhat surprised when she heard this news from the police. She had come to the police station to inquire about the progress of Mingyu's case and to provide some additional evidence of his assault on a girl. After all, what this guy had done was not something to be taken lightly. She just did not expect that Mingyu had already been sentenced. As for who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes, there was no need to guess; it was definitely Jungkook.

So, she owed him more and more.

In the evening, Lisa bought dinner and delivered it to Shen Jun and Mei Yuxia.

She could not let Mei Yuxia know about Jisoo being hospitalized, and to prevent her from worrying, Jisoo asked her to convey a few words, saying that she had been sent on a business trip to another city, where she was earning a good salary, so Mei Yuxia should feel at ease.

Since Lisa had already offered to help, she naturally didn't just send a message. Instead, she went in person. After all, she was Jisoo's supervisor, and her presence would reassure Mei Yuxia.
