Chittip nodded. "Yes, Suho liked it very much. In fact, it even saved Suho before that summer at the rooftop of the office. Do you remember?"
"I do. Suho accidentally slid down the railing. It bit Suho's shirt and saved his life, but after that, it couldn't save itself, so it fell down and suffered severe injuries. I had to put him down myself."
This incident had always been a secret that Lisa never told anyone.
"Suho saw for himself all that you did. This was what I heard him say after that."
"So? He hates me because of this?" Lisa sneered with his lips curled up as he looked to Chittip. "Even if I didn't put Xiao Wei down, he wouldn't have lived through the night. Instead of letting it suffer through that, what's so wrong about letting it leave sooner?"
"That's just what you think. You should know Xiao Wei is special to Suho. The misunderstanding between you and him began with that. Besides, you and Moonbyul and Seulgi are closer. Suho's a sensitive person."
"Does that mean it's still my fault?" Lisa smiled calmly, yet you could feel a hint of loneliness from the smile. "It's not just that, is it? I remember the time before when you were going through the wedding. There was some conflict between you and Suho. Was that because of me too?"
"It's been so many years. Why are you still holding onto these things, Lis?"
"I want to hear the truth."
Lisa's deep eyes flickered as if it were a hidden curtain revealing a sharp light. Chittip was stunned to see his reaction. Then, she nodded. "Okay, then. There's nothing wrong with talking about it."
"You should know I've always been against Miyeon marrying you, so in the few days leading up to your wedding, I went to look for her. My intentions were clear. I wanted her to leave you. I know how you're like. You didn't choose to compromise because you liked her. In fact, things were heated between Miyeon and Sehun too. I can't let you be taken advantage of. Besides, I discovered something then which compelled me to be sure of my thoughts. No matter what, I couldn't let Miyeon marry into the Manoban family."
Chittip was a frank person. In fact, she had the guts to do things and take ownership of them. As she spoke about this, she was quite frank and open about it.
"What is it?" Lisa squinted and stared at Chittip.
"I already noticed back then that Suho liked Miyeon. He was so deep into her. The reason we fought was this. Miyeon was a time bomb. Forget about the motives the Cho family has. Just based on this alone, I couldn't let Miyeon marry you. Do I want you two brothers to fall out because of this? You know me. I always like to plan ahead, so I went to look for Miyeon and told her to leave by herself. Our discussion didn't work out and I just spilled coffee on her."
"After that, did Suho fight with you over this?"
"Yes, I didn't understand why Suho would be so hung up on Miyeon. He didn't even spare falling out with me. I was angry then and even said that if he continued to foolishly protect an outsider, I'd pretend I didn't have him as a son. His temper was a tough one. After that, he was reprimanded by your father. You know, back then when you said you wanted to stay in the military and hand Glory World over to Suho, your father disagreed. Because of this, there was friction between Suho and your father, and after that, the resentment grew deeper."
"In the end, it was all because of Glory World and Miyeon. I understand." Lisa sighed and put the cup in his hand down. "Back then, if I really had stayed in the army, many things wouldn't have happened."
"How can these things be your fault? How could your father and I bear to let you stay in the military your whole life? Glory World has always been yours, your grandfather's hard work included. I'm not selfish. I also hoped to leave the best for you although I'm not that great. All these years, I've given enough care for Suho and his sister, but we just neglected you. Nevertheless, whatever belongs to you, I'd still leave for you."
"You know I don't care about those." Lisa smiled calmly. Suddenly, he did not know what else to say. After some thought, he felt that there was nothing more to ask, so he got up to leave.
It turned out that the so-called brotherhood between him and Suho had long changed. In fact, Suho had long fancied Miyeon. If the child was really as he thought, then Suho would have had sufficient reason to do what he did.
It was no wonder that back then when he let him stay at the Cho residence, he agreed gladly. Then, when the whole thing was exposed, he ran off in a panic.
Suho, you really are my good brother!
Lisa stood on the staircase and watched the cars that came from across as he smiled coldly.
The benevolence and righteousness between two brothers was something Lisa thought he could have held fast to. He regarded it as a solid belief in his life. Even if Suho had not been benevolent, he could not be any less righteous.
After he calmed down, he peered out at the gloomy drizzle. Finally, he did not think further about it, so he made two calls: one to Moonbyul, and one to Seulgi.
...
She had not seen him for an entire day, and when she called, his phone was switched off.
Jennie was restless the whole day. At night after she tucked her son into bed, it was already past 10 p.m. but Lisa had not returned. When she called Haruto, she knew that he was at the Imperial Sky Entertainment Club.
She hesitated, then finally sighed. Changing into a simple windbreaker, she went downstairs.
Sis Wang had just tidied up the living room. When she saw Jennie rushing down the stairs with her phone in hand, she asked, "It's already so late. Are you heading out, Missus?"
Jennie nodded gently. "I'm going out for a bit. Remember to watch over Byulg. I'll be back very soon."
Then, she walked downstairs to the living room, pulled the drawer open and rushed to get the car keys.
"Missus, do you need anything? Let me go. It's still raining outside. In fact, your body's just recovered, so it's not suitable for you to drive either," Sis Wang said.
"It's fine. I've asked the doctor and they said it's fine. He's not back yet although it's so late. I'm a little worried," Jennie said, and before Sis Wang could answer, her slender figure had vanished out of the door.
"Missus! Missus!"
Sis Wang chased after her, yet the rain continued to pour steadily outside, so she could only stop at the entrance of the villa. After a while, she heard the sound of two honks, and then a strong beam of light pierced through the drizzle. The black Porsche turned into a black silhouette, driving into the misty rain.
