After the divorce, Jennie rarely left her house and only occasionally went out to buy vegetables and other necessities for her life. Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't walk around randomly. She needed to be prepared for delivery, and from then on, other than V, she really could not see any Manoban Family's members.
Lisa did keep his promise. She did not know what method he used or what he said to his Family. In short, no one disturbed her current tranquility. It was as if they had never met each other in the past year.
Nothing seemed to have changed. Inside the house, other than her, there's only V. Speaking of V, his character had become more silent than before.
A few days later, due to Jennie's request, V went to the sanatorium to bring Jia over to Greenville Residence.
After that, they both started taking care of her. No matter how eccentric Jia was sometimes, Jennie didn't say much. Jia was V's mother, and after her own mother died, she could only take care of his mother like her mother.
V often visited her, but he did not spend the night.
And when Jennie returned from her 9 month's pregnancy checkup, she heard that there was an intern two years younger than V in a certain department, started chasing after him brutally.
At the time, the intern was only 22 years old. She was even younger than Rosé, but she was so persistent that she could be praised. That girl would go to V's office all day and brought her homemade lunch for him, but V, the stinky brat, didn't appreciate it at all.
Jia listened to what Jennie said about V attentively, and the two of them laughed at him as if he was a joke.
Jennie even said, "Aiya, I think I will bring some food to him and take a look."
One day, while they're having dinner, the intern sent V a voice message.
V casually opened it without checking the sender's name. Once the message played, the girl's public confession instantly came out of his phone, catching him off guard.
This time it's not just Jennie, even Jia encouraged him to try.
V was very calm. He glanced at his phone and casually replied, "Just eat your food."
Since then, the intern who V had rejected become a gossip conversation in the unit. As a result, the girls in his unit no longer dared to provoke him.
Jennie facepalmed.
Jennie's relationship with Jia was getting closer. However, there's one thing she didn't understand. Jia and V were the real mother and son, so why was it that every time he came, although Jia was good to him, their conversation was very polite.
On the other hand, Jia was constantly nagging like a proper mother when she talked to her.
This often gave Jennie the illusion that Jia was her mother, not V's.
This was only her imagination. A wild imagination. Every time she thought about it, she would feel weird and strange.
***
The weather was very sunny this weekend. Jennie still had two weeks before her due date, and since doctors told her to walk more to smooth out the birthing process, she took advantage of the good weather to push Jia's wheelchair and walk around the housing.
"Jen, even though Greenville Residence is a comfortable place to live, there are too many memories in there. After these two children were born, why don't we go somewhere else to stay?" Jia said out of sudden.
Jennie paused in her steps and turned around to look at the few familiar neighbors. She smiled and nodded to them before asking, "Auntie Jia, where do you want to go?"
Jia raised her eyebrows and looked ahead, "I heard that Nancy was sentenced to thirty years in prison. Jihoon and Lian both ran out of time and couldn't get her out. I want to go to G City to watch the show."
Jennie was stunned. "I thought you would want to stay in H City and see Marco."
Jia did not say anything, only looked at her. "The Manoban Family and Kim Family are both the same to me. Whoever among them receives retribution will make my mood become good. You don't want to leave H City, do you? You wanted to keep living here. What are you waiting for, Jen?"
Jennie pushed the wheelchair forward, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "What can I wait for? All paths have been determined by me."
"I heard ..." Jia glanced at her. "Lisa has left H City, but I don't know where he went. However, the current Manoban Group's CEO has been appointed by someone else. He's already gone, don't think about him anymore. The Family is not worth for you to remember."
Jennie frowned, "I don't want to quarrel with you, Auntie Jia. Can we not talk about this anymore? I promise you after the children are born, we'll stay in another place. V can also move out at the Residence. If you want him to stay with you, you can discuss the location with him. I'm fine anywhere."
Looking at her attitude,Jia raised her head and looked at her. She then sighed, "Are you blaming me for inciting hatred in you and ruining your marriage?"
Jennie smiled, "Since everything is true, how can I blame you? A few days ago, the Family was waiting for me outside the Greenville Residence door. I was asleep at that time, and it was you, Auntie Jia, who sent them out, right?"
"Since I already chose this path, don't you ever use me as your chess piece. I'm still going to stand by my words. Since you are V's mother, I will take care of you. I will show you my filial piety because this is my duty. You have been imprisoned for over twenty years, and it is up to you whether you wanted to hate the Manoban Family, but don't... Don't ever involve me in this. I am only looking for peace. Don't always think of ways to instigate your hatred by using me."
"So now you feel sorry for this pathetic old woman?" Jia narrowed her eyes at Jennie.
"I took care of you because of V. I take care of you like you were my own mother, but I am not you. You have resentment and hatred towards the Manoban Family in your heart, but you cannot try to use V and me to mess up the Family just because of this. You are blinded by hatred. Do not involve the fate of your juniors in this. I cannot let go of my mother's death, so I choose to leave the Family."
Jia nodded but laughed coldly, "Right. The person who was locked up for more than twenty years was me, the person who played stupid and crazy was me, not you. If you can be devoted to me, that will be my sustenance, I can't ask too much of you. I can't put any hope of revenge on you, I'm the one who thinks too much, hehe..."
Hearing that, Jennie immediately squatted down and held Jia's hand gently, "Your hatred is justified, but you have left that place. You have just passed the age of fifty and actually have many good days to enjoy. Let's forget about the Manoban Family, the Kim Family, or the Zhou Family and stay away from all these problems and live our own lives."
"If you don't hate Lisa, why did you leave him?" Jia lowered her head and looked at Jennie deeply.
