The Wife Is A Superstar 4

Chapter 670 - Bought For Love

"Dada?" Little Jun turned to his mother while pointing at Hwi on TV. "Mommi, iz Dada!"

Hoyeon didn't hear her son because she was shocked at learning that Hwi might have cheated on her while they were still engaged. Although all her love for him had recently been killed in her heart, the betrayal still stung.

"Look here, Junie boy!" Jae distracted Little Jun by showing his favourite baby cartoon program on his phone. "Come, let's watch together!" Then he carried the child to the other side of the room while the two cats followed them.

Back to the other group in front of the TV, all had ugly expressions on their faces while continuing to watch the news.

"Son of a bitch," Lisa cursed under his breath.

Jennie squeezed his hand, silently agreeing with him. She glanced at her friend and saw the betrayed expression on Hoyeon's face. Still, Jennie was pleased that Hoyeon wasn't crying for Hwi unlike before. It was good that her friend had finally realized that Hwi wasn't worth even a drop of her tears. The man had the audacity to accuse Hoyeon of cheating with Mingyu when he was actually the one who cheated first? What scum!

Assured that Hoyeon looked fine, Jennie turned to her honey beside him and asked in a curious tone, "Is this Eldest Brother's work?"

"It should be," Lisa replied. "I think I remember hearing that he hired a private detective a few days ago."

"He didn't ask for your help?"

"No. Eldest Brother is the type who tries to solve his own problems by himself first. It's only when everything fails that he'll ask me or our other brothers for assistance. Actually, it's not only him. All of us brothers are like this."

She nodded.

"It's quite impressive that the private detective he hired was able to dig all this evidence in just a few days. He works fast," he said.

"I'm faster," she replied, pursing her lips. "I can uncover all of these and more in just a couple of hours, maybe even faster because I have Louis."

The corners of his mouth lifted into a proud, doting smile. "I know. My wife is the best."

She couldn't help but smile, too, and also didn't correct him when he referred to her as his wife. They would marry in a few weeks, anyway. She would become his wife and he her husband soon enough.

"Let's sit back and just watch this time," he added. "Eldest Brother can handle this well enough without our help. I'm sure that he'll be able to clear not only his own name and reputation but Hoyeon's as well, so don't worry. Besides, we don't have the time to constantly worry about others' problems at the moment. We have a wedding to finish planning, not to mention that both of us are still busy with a mountain of work commitments for the remainder of the year."

She sighed at his reminder of their work obligations. Indeed, both of their schedules were filled almost to the brim. If they didn't make it a point of keeping at least one day a week completely free, they wouldn't be able to spend any quality time together at all. Despite this, Jennie loved keeping herself busy with work, especially with her music and companies. It made her feel gloriously alive with a sense of purpose, something she lacked in her past life.

Thanks to Lisa, she was improving on how to maintain the right work-life balance. He was also extremely busy running the country's number one company, and yet he would drop everything and rush to her whenever she needed him. His love and commitment to her made her fall in love with him more deeply.

Their lovey-dovey segue was interrupted by a furious, booming voice.

Grandpa, who had been keeping unusually quiet since the news story shifted its focus to Donghwi, finally exploded.

"Gah! Yeon my girl, how could you fall in love with such a loser?! I want to know! The only good thing that dum-dum did was provide the sperm to make my cute beloved great-grandbaby, Little Junjun! I must admit that he has excellent ability in that area but that's where it ends! Did his balls got cut off?! Because a real man wouldn't do those stupid things to the mother of his child! Hmph!! This old man is so angry!!!"

Yeon didn't know how to respond to Grandpa, so she remained quiet instead. She looked down at her lap and clenched her hands into tight fists.

On the other side of the room, Little Jun was startled by his great-grandfather's angry, booming voice. "Huh? Ampa?"

Jae quickly distracted the child once again and managed to prevent Little Jun from running back where Grandpa and the others sat in front of the TV. When Little Jun became absorbed by another cartoon, Jae quickly carried him out of the living area so that the adults could talk freely without needing to worry about the child. Leo followed them out while Lily stayed and headed straight to her mommy's lap.

Jennie, Lisa and Hoyeon allowed Grandpa to vent his anger long after the news program already moved on to another story. Watching the old man get angry at Donghwi for betraying her, Hoyeon felt better. When Grandpa finally calmed down, Jennie suggested that they play a game of chess to take their minds off of Donghwi until lunch time.

However, before the butler could set up the chessboard and the pieces, Lisa's phone dinged.

It was a message from Louis.

"Hi Daddy! I saw all of you interested in the news about Uncle Mingyu and that good-for-nothing scumbag Donghwi, so I compiled the latest news updates online for you! Meow~"

Jennie peeked at his phone and they read the first headline together.

"Mao Bought Deputy CFO Donghwi's Love in Exchange for 5% Kim Industries Shares?!"
