The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 2

Chapter 335: Incited Conflict (3)

Huang Ziyao and the others were shocked to hear that huge piece of news. They could not believe it, so they just gaped at Sun Yeong's aged face, in just a brief moment of time, many expressions flashed past. There were worries and frustrations, but it was also difficult to tell.

"Grandmother..." Krystal called out to Sun Yeong when she saw her reaction. There was a slight grievance in her tone, and her pale face made her seem much more fragile.

Sun Yeong and Chaerin both looked at Krystal. "Alright, the guests are coming. Don't say anything. Just wait and see."

"I will speak properly with Sister... since Sister and brother-in-law are coming over..." Krystal glanced over at Kai's direction when she spoke. She noticed the complex expression on his face as well as his eyes staring at her.

Startled, she swiftly averted her gaze away. No one else in the living room spoke another word and the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy as everyone had their own thoughts.

...

The sunlight at noon was very bright. It was remarkably warm standing under it. Hyunbin stood at the entrance for a few minutes before he heard the sound of a car engine coming closer. He then raised his head.

As expected, two black cars were on the way over to him, driving pretty slowly.

After a while, the cars stopped on the road nearby. The door was opened from inside and Haruto came out swiftly. Just as he was about to open the door for the car in front, someone opened it from inside.

Lisa came out casually. Looking up, he saw Hyunbin in front. Hyunbin looked at him as his facial expression softened and he gave Hyunbin a nod. Hyunbin smiled and nodded back at him.

Lisa then grabbed Jennie's hand as she got out of the car.

Jennie wore a spring-themed qipao with calligraphy designs accompanied by a shawl on her shoulders. Beside her, Lisa wore a casual, dark silver suit. They looked really matching together.

Jennie was startled for a little while when she saw Kim Mushen in front of the door. She came back to her senses when she heard Haruto giving orders to the bodyguards to bring out the gifts they had brought.

Hyunbin went to them. "I've been waiting for you guys for a while. Come inside." Hyunbin's deep voice reached her.

"Father..." Jennie called out to him quietly. She raised her head and looked at the large house behind him before her hand that clung onto his arm stiffened. "Let's head inside. It's pretty warm out here."

Jennie then nodded before turning over to Haruto. "Assistant Li, please bring the gifts inside."

"Yes, Missus!" Haruto and the others started moving the items after he gave a brief reply.

At the same time, there were some footsteps coming from the door. Jennie looked over to see Sun Yeong and Chaerin coming outside together with Kai and Krystal.

When they saw the matching Lisa and Jennie, they were blown away for quite a while before they were able to react.

Sun Yeong's face went stiff. After putting in some effort, she forced a smile and went up to them, stopping beside Hyunbin and speaking in a very gentle tone, "Jennie's back! Chairman Manoban... or I should say, Lisa..."

Her tone was very unnatural, highlighting the awkwardness between them.

Chaerin forced a smile and stood beside Hyunbin.

Krystal hid the faint light in her eyes as she looked at the couple before her. She pasted a smile on her pale face and dragged Kai over. "Chairman Manoban... I mean, Brother-in-law and Sister, welcome back to West Park!"

There was a joyous tone in her gentle voice as if she had been looking forward to Jennie's return for ages. "Father has been expecting this day for a very long time! Why don't you guys join us for lunch? Kai's parents are here too! We can gather around and have a meal together."

Jennie did not say anything and just looked at them coldly while Lisa gave them a slight nod.

No one said anything after Krystal. The air around turned rigid and there was an invisible pressure around them.

After a while, Hyunbin turned around and started walking into the house. "Let's all head back inside. Don't just stand around here."

Sun Yeong nodded, still trying hard to keep the smile on her face. Jennie turned her head over as she put on a chilly smile.

"Yeah, let's head back inside. I've prepared some dishes. Since Xin Er and Kai are around, it's been a long time since we've all gathered around. Come inside quickly." Sun Yeong smiled.

"We won't be joining the meal. My mother is teaching at University A now. How is this a gathering? We're just here to take a look at Grandfather and will leave very soon. You guys can just go on with whatever you're doing." Completely devoid of an ounce of friendliness, she turned her head over to the man beside her. "Let's go in."

Lisa nodded as he glanced over at Sun Yeong's group. When his eyes met Kai's, there was a faint, meaningful glimpse in his eyes. He did not say anything as Jennie pulled him into West Park.

Jennie and Lisa went past them as if they were invisible. The rage inside Sun Yeong nearly exploded, and Krystal looked pale and cold. Her eyes darkened as she watched the two of them enter the house.

"Mother, look at that! Just what was that attitude!?" Chaerin could not help but start whining. Her eyes burned with anger as she looked watched their backs.

Sun Yeong took several deep breaths and calmed down as she held onto Chaerin. "Don't say anything. Let's go back in for now!"

They then went back inside.
