The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife

Chapter 28: Cold Kinship

Chaerin's eyes lit up, but her expression darkened. She took a deep breath and said, "Yueying Culture Media contracted several big projects some time ago. The company was focused on them when suddenly, the investors backed out. The Vice President ran away after embezzling a huge sum of money from the company, and now Yueying is facing a huge financial crisis. Your grandmother..."

Backed out?

Why did that happen so suddenly?

Jennie looked at Chaerin in doubt, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"It all started with Krystal. The master of Kim Group has been interested in Krystal for a long time now and wanted to marry her, but you know Krystal and Kai are inseparable, so, of course, she wouldn't agree to marry that person. Then, Kim Group backed out in anger, and under such circumstances, the Vice President stole the company's funds and ran away. Your grandmother was extremely shocked about it and passed out."

Chaerin suddenly turned around and looked at Jennie. After a while of struggling, she finally mustered her courage and said, "Jennie, I know the whole thing about Kai is Krystal's fault. All of us still can't get over it in the past few years, especially your grandparents. They're really worried about you.

"However, Kai and you are matters of the past. He's truly in love with Krystal and I hope that you can move on and let them be. Your grandmother has been really worried about you. She's afraid that you might not be taking care of yourself well alone, so she's been trying to find you a good partner."

At this point, Chaerin paused and her eyes held a very faint sense of insincerity. She bit her lip and said, "Actually, the master of Kim Group isn't bad at all. He's tall and handsome and comes from a rich and prestigious family. All the women in City Z are dying to marry into the Kim family, which is pretty decent. I know the lady of the Kim family. They're an easygoing bunch..."

Jennie's eyes turned cold upon listening to her. Steeling herself, she put up an icy cold grin and asked, "So what?"

"So... so..."

Chaerin looked down.

"Let me say it." An old and exhausted voice interrupted them.

"Are you awake now, Mother? How are you feeling? The doctor said you've overexerted yourself. You can't get worked up..."

Chaerin seemed surprised and went up to her. Jennie realized that Haesoo had already opened her eyes without anyone even noticing. Her old pair of eyes were still looking sharp.

"Help me get up."

While Haesoo's voice sounded weak, her aura was still as strong as ever.

Chaerin helped her up and put two pillows behind her back while Jennie just stood there as she watched Haesoo silently and calmly.

"Sit down!"

Haesoo's tone sounded a little frosty. Obviously, she was not very pleased with Jennie. "Do you still know that you're a member of the Kim family? You don't even come back when your grandfather was sick or when your sister came back? What's wrong with you?"

Jennie maintained her cold grin as she accepted the scolding. "Why should I go back? I'd go to a doctor if I was sick, I'd go back home to eat. What can I do if I go back there?"

Haesoo did not anticipate Jennie to talk back to her. Back then, no matter how much she was criticized, Jennie would just keep quiet and now...

Haesoo frowned and her expression darkened. Chaerin quickly exclaimed, "Jennie, how could you talk to your grandmother like that? Your grandmother can't take any more stress now! The doctor told us just now, didn't you hear?"

Jennie's grin grew wider as she stood straight and turned to face the window. It was as if she did not hear Chaerin's words.

"Yueying is the blood and flesh of the Kim family, so she's also my family. I never expected to face something like this and it's my fault. I know you've been upset about Krystal and Kai, but don't you forget that you're part of our family too. How can family members hold grudges against each other? Moreover, everyone can see that Krystal has been really worried about you for the past few years."

Haesoo softened after looking at Jennie for a while. "It's not a critical moment for the Kim family. I just hope that we can unite together and overcome this challenge. We have to get those big projects from the Kim Kai Group. In the current industry, with Yueying facing such circumstances..."

"That's right, Jennie. Yueying is the hard work of us Kim family. All of your grandmother's effort is in it. You have to save Yueying!" Chaerin pleaded anxiously.

"I save Yueying? How? Did you guys appoint me to take a high position in Yueying? Or do you guys think I'm some sort of ruler of Kim Kai Group?"

Jennie thought it was a joke.

"You can save Yueying as long as you agree to marry the master of Kim Group. If you'd agree to marry him in place of Krystal, then it'd solve all these problems. After all, you look quite similar to Krystal, so the master of Kim Group will surely be happy with your looks. The Kim family wanted a daughter-in-law from a prestigious family and you're the mayor's daughter. So, with that fact and your looks, it'll definitely be enough!"

Haesoo's eyes were brimming with confidence as she spoke.

Jennie inherited the beauty features of Yejin. Her looks and aura were a notch higher compared to Krystal's. If it were not for her personality, if it were not for... Haesoo still willing to love her, unfortunately...

Jennie was stunned. Very strong dark thoughts muddled her head as she stared at Haesoo, thinking that she had misheard something. "What did you say just now? Marry the master of Kim Group in place of Krystal?"

"Jennie, the master of Kim Group is great. Jisoo is the only son of the Kim family. With their huge business and background, it's even bigger than the Han Corporation. With all that, you can forget about Kai soon, and maybe you can even get married on the same day as them!" Chaerin explained excitedly.

"So, you guys can't wait to push me out and get me to replace Krystal as your bargaining chip to solve Yueying's crisis?" Jennie turned to look at Haesoo with an air of indifference and a forced smile.
