When they walked towards the door, Huang Ziyao and Han Yu were on their way out. The shock on their faces intensified when they saw Lisa and Jennie together.
"Chairman Manoban! Jennie!" Han Yu reacted after a brief moment and called out to them loudly. Huang Ziyao was still lost in the moment.
"CEO Han? Long time no see!" Lisa replied casually.
Huang Ziyao came back to her senses and asked, "Chairman Manoban, you and Jennie..."
"Mrs. Han, you know my wife too?"
He outrightly informed them about their relationship with that sentence. Without staying for long, Jennie pulled him away.
...
"What's happening?" They traded glances with each other in doubt as the two of them walked past them. They were confused and turned their heads around when they heard the sound of footsteps from behind.
Sun Yeong came inside with a cloudy expression while Chaerin seemed angry. It was not hard to guess that they were pissed off.
"Grandmother, don't be angry! Your health is going to get worse!" Krystal let go of Kai's arm and held onto Sun Yeong.
Han Yu and Huang Ziyao noticed that something was wrong, so they then asked, "What exactly happened? Jennie and Chairman Manoban..."
Sun Yeong's expression turned even colder and she did not answer. Instead, Chaerin replied vindictively, "They're doing this on purpose!"
"Mother, don't put it that way!" Krystal tugged at Chaerin's sleeve.
"What now? Just what is that attitude of hers? Is that how Ye-Jin taught her daughter to behave?" Chaerin was still furious about what Hyunbin had said to her that morning. She was really frustrated!
However, only she herself knew that there was something else brewing aside from her anger!
She thought that after Krystal got together with Kai, and since she was Hyunbin's wife, she was a level above Ye-Jin no matter what. Every time she thought about Ye-Jin's cold expression, she was really mad and she just wanted to best her in everything.
However, Hyunbin could not forget Ye-Jin, and with Jennie involving herself with a legendary figure such as Lisa, how could she be not angry about this?
She was starting to blame God. Why was it even with such excellent traits, she still lost to Ye-Jin?
With just her background, she was leaps and bounds above Ye-Jin!
Speaking of appearances and talents, just what could a lecturer do? Moreover, Chaerin had been one of the top beauties when she had still been in university!
As for their mannerisms, she was raised in a prestigious family since she was young. There was no way Ye-Jin could be better than her!
She never expected that their conflict would reach their daughters as well. She had gone through so much just to become Hyunbin's wife, and when she thought she could finally step on her...
Actually, she never really got anything. Aside from securing the title of the Mayor's wife, Hyunbin had never entered her room after their marriage, and he would never touch a single drop of alcohol at home. He prepared a single bed in his study room which was where he slept.
It was hard to believe, but it was the truth.
Others thought they were a model couple that respected each other, but only they themselves knew the truth. For more than twenty years, they treated each other coldly, and she clearly understood that Hyunbin hated her.
It was very rare for someone like Hyunbin to hate someone, but once he started resenting someone, it was nearly impossible to forgive. Chaerin was a sound example.
Their relationship had been in the same horrible state for the past twenty years. The gap was getting wider and wider with the hatred growing more and more gradually.
...
Jennie pulled Lisa along the corridor as she led the way in.
Kim Jiyang's room had been moved to a quiet corner. Kim Jiyang's private doctor, Dr. Li, was on his way out with his medical box when they arrived in front of the room. The nurse behind him had a tray with three empty liquid vials: one large and two small.
"Mayor!" Dr. Li greeted respectfully when he saw Hyunbin while the nurse behind him bowed courteously.
"Mmm, what's the situation? Did he wake up?" Hyunbin nodded and asked quietly.
Dr. Li nodded and replied, "He just woke up. You can ask your servants to prepare some porridge for him. He's in a jolly mood today. If he keeps this up, it's going to be helpful for his recovery."
"Mmm, thank you." Hyunbin moved away to let Dr. Li pass.
Dr. Li smiled. "I'll head back to the hospital now. Give me a call if you need anything. I'll come over tomorrow morning and check up on him."
"Okay, Ah Hui, send Dr. Li off."
"Yes, Mayor!"
Dr. Li's smile faded away. He was stunned for a moment when he walked past Lisa and Jennie. Before he could react, Jennie and Hyunbin went inside the room.
...
"You guys are back!"
Kim Jiyang could hear Hyunbin's voice from inside the room as a rare smile appeared on his face when he saw Lisa and Jennie. Undeniably, he was in a good mood.
They went beside Kim Jiyang's bed and called out to him, "Grandfather."
Kim Jiyang struggled to get up. "Have a seat. Don't just stand there. Have some tea and play chess with me."
Jennie's expression darkened slightly. Kim Jiyang was well aware of his own condition, yet he did not want them to worry. These happy moments were rare and precious to him now.
Jennie did not move an inch as Lisa bent over and helped Kim Jiyang to get up. Hyunbin was getting the tea ready on the coffee table.
Seeing Lisa help Kim Jiyang walk slowly towards the sofa, it was difficult for Jennie to watch. She considered what to say before going over.
Lisa helped Kim Jiyang sit down. He put a pillow behind him as he asked quietly, "How do you feel lately?"
Kim Jiyang nodded with a smile. "Pretty good. I'm just a little tired, but I should be able to recover in a few days. You guys should sit down too."
Lisa smiled and sat down opposite Kim Jiyang while Jennie sat down beside him.
