Jennie was considered the village beauty by all the neighbors, and was also the class flower and school flower at school.
Jennie felt that she didn't deserve such an honor, but she knew that she did look quite good. When she was in elementary school it was fine, but when she entered middle school and high school, boys would often write her love letters. The students' courtship methods were quite civilized, but Jennie had also encountered some shifty characters from society who specifically targeted innocent students, and was even eyed by people suspected of being human traffickers.
After encountering so many bizarre incidents, Jennie gradually became more vigilant, although she had dropped out due to lack of money and was living a carefree life in her hometown, Jennie was still on guard.
When Lisa said that their grandfathers were war buddies, she believed him and was willing to treat him as a friend and host him, but when Lisa said that his grandfather had liver cancer, and brought up their childhood betrothal, wanting to trick her into marrying him, if Jennie believed him again, she would be a fool. Who knows if he was just another advanced human trafficker? If she blindly went along with him to get a marriage certificate, she might never be able to break free from his control afterwards.
His suit and leather shoes looked quite expensive, but they could also be a deliberate prop by a scammer pretending to be a wealthy man.
Harboring suspicions in her heart, Jennie did not show it on her face. She scratched her head with a conflicted look and said, "This... I feel very sympathetic about your grandfather's illness, it's just that childhood betrothals are feudal dregs. You seem to always look very well-educated... Anyway, you should just go back and try to persuade your grandfather again."
"I've tried persuading him already, but the old man is stubborn and insists on fulfilling the promise from back then." Lisa had already anticipated that Jennie would not immediately agree to this preposterous request. The prenuptial agreement was for his own consideration, but also for Jennie's sake, so she wouldn't worry about him taking advantage of her. "Ms. Kim, I can pay you a deposit first, 100 million, I hope you can help me out this once."
He was sincerely discussing a transaction with her, he didn't intend to shortchange her due to any naivete or ignorance on her part.
100 million?
Jennie almost laughed out loud. If this guy could really take out 100 million, why would he marry a country girl like her? He must be trying to scam her. She had heard that fraud tactics nowadays were becoming more and more advanced. They could first make extra money appear in your account, then retract it later.
Firmly believing that Lisa was a scammer, Jennie didn't even want to keep talking to him. She turned around to walk back. "Really can't do it, You should just go back." She was very satisfied with her current life, there was no need to marry a stranger for money.
Her refusal was so blunt that it made Lisa frown. He followed behind her and asked, "What would it take for Ms. Kim to agree?"
With her back to him, Jennie sighed, "I don't want to trick people, and I don't want to fake marry a stranger. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Though she was only 20, her face was still very youthful. Lisa was a business tycoon who dominated the commercial sphere, he certainly wouldn't be deterred by Jennie's cold demeanor. He just felt a headache coming on, understanding on one hand that his request was preposterous, but still needing to fight for it on behalf of his grandfather.
"I'll leave the agreement here for you, Ms. Kim can take a look first. I'll come again tomorrow." Lisa held out the prenuptial agreement, looking at Jennie with a sincere gaze. After getting to know her temperament today, he would think of a new strategy tonight.
