Many eyes almost popped out and jaws fell down after hearing Grandpa's words. To them, he just proved their speculation. Now everyone thought that Jennie was engaged to Grandpa's grandson, Jiyong.
As for Jennie, she was exactly on the same page as Grandpa. The two of them forgot to take into account that not everyone was aware that he also treated Lisa as his own grandson. They had no idea that a great misunderstanding was currently running in these people's minds.
Jihoon and the others who knew about the truth looked at each other in amusement. They didn't correct the misunderstanding because Jennie and Lisa hadn't officially announced their relationship to the public yet.
"This isn't bad," Jihoon murmured. "My daughter and Lisa treat Jiyong like a brother. They're all very close to each other. Lisa won't get jealous of his brother."
"Uncle, it seems that you have no idea what Lisa is really like," Alice whispered. "He's always drowning in a pool of vinegar when it comes to Ruby."
"As long as he treats my daughter right, I have no complaints."
A few steps away from them, Jisoo and Chaeng didn't hear the conversation about Lisa. Just like the guests, they thought that Jennie was engaged to Jiyong.
"The stupid fool who gifted your sister an entire business is Sir Kwon's grandson?" Chaeng asked.
"It seems so..." Jisoo replied.
"Come, Jisoo. Let's ask Ruby to introduce us to Sir Kwon! Even if his grandson is a stupid love-crazed fool, Sir is still the most brilliant living businessman in our country."
"Yes."
After silently pleading with their eyes, Jennie introduced the two to Grandpa Kwon. He became interested when they told him that they were business majors and that they were going to graduate very soon. He began asking them several questions about their studies, experiences, and extra-curricular activities. After questioning them, Grandpa gave Jennie a meaningful look.
She tilted her head to the side, a contemplative expression on her face.
Later, the party continued merrily.
Most of the people had already somewhat recovered from the initial shock and excitement of the night's various surprises. Now they were enjoying themselves while gossiping about everything that happened since the party started.
They couldn't stop glancing at Donghwi and Hoyeon, Jennie and Grandpa Kwon, and most especially the Wu family. Although they didn't know what exactly transpired during the private meeting earlier between the Kims and the Wus, it was obvious from their barely veiled enmity that things didn't end well between the two families.
"That bitch must be born under a lucky star or something. Not only did she win those music awards some time ago, but she also managed to snag Sir Jian's grandson as her future husband," Madam Wu grumbled while glaring at Jennie. "What's so good about her? She knows nothing else besides acting pretty and singing. You're so much better than her, Chae."
"Mother, please stop it," Eunchae snapped.
Although she agreed with her mother that she was so much better than that bitch Jennie, she already experienced so much humiliation tonight to last her a lifetime. She didn't want her mother making it worse by getting them into deeper trouble if someone were to overhear her insulting Jennie or any of the Kims.
Eunchae could feel the looks of ridicule from the people around them like a heavy weight. Now she was experiencing something similar to the pain Hoyeon went through earlier when people mocked her for being Hwi's mistress. It was a suffocating feeling.
