Jennie stayed with Naeyon until noon before leaving the hospital. Right after that, she went straight to the office.
She received a call from her assistant, Suzy, the moment she arrived at the company, informing her that Hae Sook had come over. Jennie was surprised and she quickly made her way into Lisa's office. Of course, there was a resting room where she would usually spend her time at noon.
"Grandmother, what brings you here?"
Jennie saw Hae Sook sitting on the sofa from afar. Sis Wang was beside her, holding a food container. They were probably here to deliver lunch to her.
Hae Sook quickly went up to her when she heard Jennie's voice. "I'm just here to check on you. I heard from Sis Wang that your appetite hasn't been great. Your mother and I thought about it and made you some soup."
"I'm alright, Grandmother. You guys don't have to worry about me. Sis Wang is doing an amazing job taking care of me. Come on, let's head inside." Jennie then took out the key card. She swiped it and entered the password before opening the door.
They went inside, and Sis Wang prepared the food on the table before leaving the room.
"Let's eat. I'll have some with you."
Chitiip and Hae Sook visited her frequently, and they would bring her food or some kind of snacks. Jennie knew very well they were aware of her poor appetite and were trying to do something.
Jennie drank a bowl of soup quickly and asked, "What soup is this? This tastes delicious."
"Your mother made it for you, but I didn't ask her about it. She's pretty busy at work and didn't really spend much time taking care of you. While she never says it out loud, everyone knows that she cares. Do you think she's very strict?"
Hae Sook smiled at Jennie. She was pretty fond of her daughter-in-law, Chitiip. However, due to her career, she always looked serious and emanated a stern aura around her. Deep down, she was a very kind lady, but Hae Sook was worried that Jennie might not be used to her.
Jennie smiled as well as she got herself another bowl of soup. "Not really. I think Mother is really kind. She's even nicer to me than to Lisa. I noticed she's pretty easygoing. However, I do feel that..."
"Lisa's relationship with his parents is kind of cold?" Hae Sook interrupted Jennie before she could finish her sentence.
Jennie nodded sheepishly. "Yeah, I asked him before. He said they just don't spend much time together."
"That's true. Lisa has been very independent from an early age. He went to boarding school at a very young age. I'm sure you know about his best friends. The Sus, the Zhous, and the Mus were in the same military area back then. We moved away separately afterward, and all of us kept in contact. All of us unified together and decided to let them attend military school," Hae Sook said.
"Lisa's personality is similar to his parents'. I've been thinking of talking to you about this. He really listens to you, so I hope you can help smoothen their relationship. Think of it as a request of mine."
Jennie smiled. "Well, he respects Father and Mother a lot. He just doesn't know how to express himself well, but maybe it'll get better if we go home more frequently."
"Things are getting better ever since he married you. Back in the days, Lisa never liked to come home and he rarely spoke, but he's made a lot of changes now. Alright, you should quickly eat. How's the taste?"
"It's tasty. You should have some too," Jennie replied. She felt a warmth inside her heart as she poured Hae Sook a bowl of soup as well.
"Has Lisa been calling you every day? What a bad time to be busy now. It'll probably be difficult for you to move around when he gets back."
"It's alright, Grandmother. I know a lot of pregnant ladies who still worked when they were 9 months pregnant. I'm not a precious little lady..."
"That's them. What do you mean by not precious? You're the most precious lady in the Manoban family now! Don't go easy on Lisa. Get him to do whatever you want to. Having him serve his wife is training as well. Women are meant to give them face on the outside, so they should be treated like a queen at home. Your grandfather never dared to bully me, and your father is very gentle as well."
Hae Sook was teaching Jennie some skills to tame her husband, but Jennie looked at her in surprise. "Grandmother, Lisa told me about Grandfather and you as well as Father and Mother. Actually, I'm really envious of their relationship. They are very polite to each other."
"Sure, they look polite, but it's another story when they are behind closed doors. They are very much comparable to you youngsters. Didn't you notice that your father would bring your mother everywhere he goes? You need to think of a way to make Lisa want to bring you everywhere he goes." Hae Sook squinted at Jennie. She then remembered her mother-in-law had advised her that as well when she first married into the Manoban family.
Jennie's heart softened as she chuckled a little. When she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, so the two of them looked over.
"Director Kim!" Suzy came in and quickly greeted her when she saw Hae Sook, "Hello, Elder Madam!"
Hae Sook nodded without saying anything.
Jennie wiped her mouth with a tissue before asking Suzy, "What's the matter?"
Suzy looked at them hesitantly before she opened her folder and handed her a red invitation card. "Secretary Wang from the Han Corporation just delivered an invitation card. They invited Chairman Manoban and you to attend the young master Han's full moon celebration. Here..."
"Full moon celebration?" Jennie was stunned for a moment. With a slight frown, she opened it and noticed the date was in three days.
No one from the Han family attended Sun Yeong's funeral since they were busy planning for this full moon celebration. Obviously, they took Sun Yeong lightly.
Jennie put on a cold smile before closing the invitation card.
Hae Sook did not say anything and just stared at Jennie intently.
