When he saw Jisoo's figure, Ryujin's expression shifted. Vigilance flashed in Solar's eyes as she looked at Ryujin.
The two of them exchanged a look, and then their eyes were fixed on Jisoo who walked over in huge strides.
Jisoo did not seem to notice their gazes. He stopped casually beside Jennie.
"I thought that the person handling her funeral would be Krystal, but it turned out to be you."
Jisoo set the flowers down before Sun Yeong's tombstone. He straightened up as he spoke with a smile curved on his lips, "I heard that the Han family has been busy organizing a banquet recently. With this unexpected development, they have to pick a new date."
Jennie did not respond and just laughed mockingly.
"She's plotted and struggled all her life, but this is how it ends. It's quite a tragic way to end her life. Nonetheless, I do have to thank her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known you. If I agreed to her request then, how do you think things would turn out now?" Jisoo spoke plainly. His expression did not change and his tone was devoid of any emotion.
"I wouldn't know what would happen either, but I do know that I'm not a fool who'll be manipulated."
At this moment, Jennie sighed to herself too. If it were not for her, she would not have gotten married to Lisa. Whatever it was, this was all just fate and chance.
After that, she added, "Thank you for coming."
Jisoo smiled as he shrugged. "How rare of you to thank me."
He thought about it. The scene of his conversation with Lisa on the rooftop flashed in his mind again. The curve on his lips widened and he looked amusedly at her elegant face. His gaze made Jennie frown slightly.
"Did you tell Lisa that I was a good person?"
His mocking voice was teasing. When he looked around and did not see Lisa, he asked curiously, "Where's he? Didn't he come with you?"
Jennie glanced at him indifferently. "If you were a good person, then there would be no bad people on this Earth!"
Kim lei laughed out loud before he replied nonchalantly, "You're a woman who doesn't say what she thinks! Even Lisa gave me a positive assessment!"
Jennie rolled her eyes at him. She took the flowers against her chest, and then put it on the tombstone. Just as she was about to turn and leave, Jisoo reached out to stop her. When Solar saw his attempt, she immediately went up and blocked him.
"Okay, okay, is it that bad telling the truth?" Jisoo took a step back and said helplessly, "The 15th of next month is my mother's 55th birthday. The Kim family will be organizing a banquet. I hope that you two can come over and support them. You will help me with this, won't you?"
The internal state of Kim Group Corporation was in turmoil. The sly fox Kim Joon had done many things secretly whenever Wang Qin relaxed these past few years, so many people were now on his side, while the strength on Wang Qin's side had weakened quite a bit. Since he had decided to fight for certain things, now would be the time to take action.
Glory World and Kim Group were in a partnership. In fact, Jisoo was in charge of this project. On the surface, they looked like partners, but Lisa's tricks ran deeper. He would not take it easy on the surface. Nevertheless, in the dark, if that was so, why would he not just give Lisa some face? After all, Lisa himself had acknowledged that they could be collaborators!
Was he preparing for a rainy day?
Jisoo was not a fool and would take advantage whenever he could!
The key right now was how to make his way into the higher management of Kim Group. Even though he held the position as the Deputy CEO, Kim Joon did not assign him any huge project responsibilities. Even in the South River project, he was just there as a designation. He did not know when Kim Joon would remove him from it.
That was why he had been thinking of finding a new way out, and that was the collaboration between Fuhua Real Estate and Glory World. That would be an excellent chance for him. Of course, this chance must be personally invited by the CEO of Fuhua and supported by Lisa of Glory World before he could rise.
Kim Joon did not even take him into account since he was busy fighting with Wang Qin. They both wanted their own people to get this project. If he wanted to emerge as a new force to be reckoned with, he could only accept Lisa's suggestion.
Wang Qin's birthday banquet?
Jennie frowned in surprise. She could not help but feel puzzled. If she remembered correctly, word around the circle was that Wang Qin never liked such occasions, so why would she suddenly organize a birthday banquet this time?
She chose her words carefully, and then suppressed her puzzlement before responding, "He's abroad and might only be back in a month or two."
"Abroad?"
Jisoo frowned at Jennie. Moments later, he said, "No worries. You can come over too. Don't worry. I'll watch over you. Just help me out. I'll send the invitation out in a few days."
Jennie wanted to reject him, but when she thought about the working relationship of their two companies, she answered, "I'll do my best to make the arrangements."
"Thanks!"
With Jisoo's word, Jennie walked ahead and Solar quickly followed after her.
While Ryujin used his sharp and deep gaze to examine Jisoo, the latter very calmly swung his arms and let Ryujin size him up.
After a while, Ryujin looked away and then followed her without a word.
Sun Yeong's passing felt like a small episode as it did not cause too much of a storm. The Han family and Krystal were busy preparing for the banquet. Meanwhile, on Jennie's end, Sun Yeong's passing made her upset. Only after three days, a piece of good news brought her out of her gloomy haze.
On this day, Jennie was at the hospital for a check-up. When she thought about how Naeyon was waiting for delivery there, she went looking for her. Unexpectedly, she was told that Naeyon had undergone labor that morning, and before the sun had even risen, she was wheeled into the delivery room.
She was about to give birth!
This news flashed in Jennie's mind. She was overjoyed and quickly found the operating theatre with Solar.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she could see Jeongyeon's family from afar and Mother Im waiting outside the operation room!
They all looked rather worried. Jeongyeon was pacing back and forth uneasily whilst his eyes never left the tightly shut doors to the operating theatre.
When he saw Jennie, Jeongyeon was naturally shocked.
"Jennie, why are you here?"
"Coincidentally, I came over today for a check-up. I wanted to visit Nay Nay, but the doctor unexpectedly told me that Nay Nay's about to deliver today, so I rushed over to have a look. How's she right now?"
