The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 5

Chapter 847: Gather (3)

Jisoo turned over to Lisa as he said, "Congratulations on getting out."

Lisa looked at him, his eyes darkening. "I guess I'm lucky, but you don't seem very fortunate."

Jisoo's eyes darkened as he looked away, while his voice sounded calm, his tone felt sorrowful—

"I sure am a little unfortunate, but so what? Are you going to offer me some words of comfort right now?" His voice sounded cold just like the wind passing by.

A light flashed in Lisa's eyes as he said, "I thought about doing so, but seeing you now makes me think that you don't need it. Great." He raised a toast, and they finished their glasses together.

"I've heard too much of those and I'm getting bored with it. Jimin got a cactus plant from Jennie several days ago. I understand. That's my mother after all, so it's normal to be sad, but there's nothing I can do to bring her back to life. I still have a life to live. You don't have to tell me. I understand," said Jisoo as he gulped the wine down.

"What do you plan to do from now on?" Lisa asked.

Jisoo took a deep breath and leaned back onto the chair. "That old man wants me to take over my mother's position. He thinks he's doing me a favor! My mother had a lawyer and made her will a long time ago. All her shares and properties are left to me. That old man was just afraid that I might not be able to take on the stress and sell all the shares that I have.

"My mother's group influence fell considerably after she passed away. I suppose it'll be very challenging even if I want to rebuild it." He looked at Lisa straight in the eye.

Lisa raised his eyebrows. "VP Wang was able to do it, and you're saying that you can't?"

Jisoo smiled before sighing. "Talking to you does feel motivational at times."

"I've heard what's happening in Kim Group. It's not a favorable position for you. With Kim Group getting South River Project No. 2, your situation is pretty bad." Lisa gave him an objective analysis, "I think Kim Group is trying to make a shift through this project. A lot of entertainment-focused companies are starting to get involved in other industries with property and business being common targets."

Jisoo nodded. "You're right. That's happening right now. Kim Group started out in the showbiz industry, and it's been several decades. If we don't find other pathways to break through the current situation, we might get left behind in the future. Since the Hui Cho Corporation is interested, our company isn't going to let this chance slip away. The whole company is focused on this one project."

"However, it doesn't seem like you're involved in South River Project No. 2. You're almost losing your spot in handling Project No. 1 as well," Lisa noted.

Jisoo shook his head. "Yeah, I've been thinking about it this whole time. I'm pretty much a failure ending up like this."

"You're not the only one who had it tough. Don't simply use the word 'failure'." Lisa looked at him sternly for a moment and then continued, "Grandpa told me yesterday that he met you a few days ago."

"Yes, it was regarding South River Project No. 2. I've understood from him that Kim Group successfully obtained the core land. Do we not have any hope now?" Jisoo asked.

Lisa grinned. "That's what this is about. Do you regret working with me now?"

Jisoo smacked his own head and looked at Lisa quietly before shaking his head. "I can only say it's my fault. I never expected you to be arrested at such a critical moment, and I..."

"Do you think Kim Group is better at working in the showbiz industry, or in property development?" Lisa suddenly asked before Jisoo could reply.

"Of course the showbiz industry! Although property development is tempting, it's still difficult for the current Kim Group to handle it alone. Why else do you think we need the Hui Cho Corporation?" Jisoo glanced at Lisa like he was looking at an idiot.

Lisa looked down and laughed. Then, he peered over at Moonbyul and the others before he stood up. "I'm glad that you're fine now. There's something I should tell you, but I've been a little busy with all the work piled up lately. Come and meet me in my office next Friday at 3p.m."

Ryujin should be back by then. It was about time to tell him about Sehun.

Lisa walked away before Jisoo could reply.

Jisoo was affected by the laughter around. He closed his eyes and calmed down himself before heading over.

They were still playing cards. The loser would have to do something interesting. Haruto was mimicking the cries of animals for the third time now. The first time was a wolf howl, the second time was a pig squealing, and the third time was a dog barking.

Everyone laughed as they enjoyed Haruto's talented acting.

Moonbyul and Solar worked pretty well together.

As for Seulgi, he unleashed his inner talent and gave the crowd a performance. Even Jisoo and Lisa chuckled. Having lost again, Seulgi threw his cards away and put on a serious expression. "Do you guys want to know, between Lis, Byul, and me, who has the biggest...?"

"Who?" Jisoo gave him a dirty glance.

Moonbyul's first reaction was to choke Seulgi's neck.
