The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1246 - Exchanging Conspiratorial Smiles

"I know." Jisoo smiled, grabbing her best friend's hand and squeezing it.

"So what happened when you brought that ass—Jiyong and Grandpa to meet with Auntie Faye?" Chaeng asked.

Jennie was also interested to hear about it.

Jisoo lowered her head and didn't say anything but her quickly reddening face only made the two more curious about what happened. Jennie and Chaeng looked at each other before leaning towards Jisoo and persuading her to spill everything to them. At that moment, the siblings Jae and Clover finally joined them, unaware that they arrived at a juicy time.

The only people missing from their girl squad were Hoyeon who was still not back yet from putting her son Little Jun to sleep and Alice who once again fell asleep at a hidden corner after eating dinner.

The siblings quickly caught up with what was happening after Chaeng's succinct explanation. Jae and Clover's eyes immediately shone with anticipation and turned their heads in unison at the blushing Jisoo.

"Uhm..." Jisoo bit her lower lip and hesitated for a few moments more before finally relenting.

The friends gathered their heads together while she whispered to them what happened during her visit with Jiyong and Grandpa Lu at her mother's home.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

Everyone was startled by Jae and Clover's squeals. They all looked at the group and saw the crazed siblings, a blushing Jisoo, a calm Jennie, and a torn Chaeng.

While the others were curious about what happened and even directly asked Jennie's group, Jiyong watched Jisoo with deep eyes. Based on her red, embarrassed face, he already had an idea why the siblings were acting like demented fangirls. His mouth curved. Then he sent his brother-in-law a look before walking away.

Lisa raised an eyebrow before excusing himself and following Jiyong to the buffet hall next door. Moments later, their other sworn brothers plus V received text messages. The clueless men also excused themselves and headed to the buffet hall. Their disappearance was noticed but didn't affect the party's cheerful atmosphere. Everyone returned to their own groups and continued chatting away.

After some time, only Jiyong returned. Lisa and the others were nowhere to be seen. Jennie was curious but wasn't worried about her husband. She watched as her big brother headed straight towards them and extended his hand to Jisoo.

"Let's go," he said.

"Huh? Go where?" Jisoo looked at him in confusion.

He gave her a devilish smirk. "Don't tell me you're not planning on speaking with your father about us."

"Oh." Her face which only returned to her normal complexion just a few minutes ago after the siblings' teasing turned red again.

When she still didn't move from her seat, Jiyong stepped forward and hauled her up to her feet. "I'll be taking her for now."

"Go ahead." Jennie waved a hand to them.

The friends watched as the couple headed towards Jihoon and Jia. Then the four excused themselves and left.

Later, Lisa returned and called for everyone's attention. He asked everyone to follow the butler. Everyone was confused but still followed Lisa's instructions, trusting him as the host of tonight's Christmas party. They thought that Lisa and Jennie must have prepared a special event for everyone. Jennie, however, had no idea what was going on.

"What's happening?" Jennie asked her husband in a low tone as they followed the crowd out of the room into the hallway.

He whispered directly to her ear, preventing others, even her friends, from overhearing. Jennie gasped. Then the husband and wife exchanged conspiratorial smiles.

Jae and Clover didn't forget to wake up Alice. They followed everyone out of the party room.

The large group walked a long way but nobody complained because the Christmas decorations all around them were wonderful. The atmosphere was very festive. Even the long walk was enjoyable. In addition, they were experiencing the thrill of the unknown. They were looking forward to the surprise that Lisa and Jennie had prepared for them.

For some reason, Grandpa was chuckling like a mischievous devil. No matter how the others asked the old man, he wouldn't say anything, only continuing to chuckle with an unmistakable glint in his eyes.

A few steps behind, René Alejandro was walking with Chaerin and Randy. He knew that something was up. Jackson and V left one after another after receiving a phone message, leaving him to fend for himself. He didn't mind because it gave him more opportunity to try getting closer to the other guests and judging which ones would be useful to him.

After what happened with Jiyong earlier, he was mentally beating himself up for his carelessness. As a result, he approached Sir Jian and apologized to his earlier rude behaviour to the old man's grandson. Grandpa didn't seem to take it to heart, even assuring him with boisterous laughter that everything was fine, but René Alejandro could sense that the old man was now more guarded and perhaps even suspicious of him.

'Damn it. Now I have to work even harder to get closer to the old man. It's Jiyong's fault, that cocky bastard! If it weren't for his arrogant gaze, I wouldn't have reacted so badly. What's up with him? I'm not the type to lose control so easily like this, no? Even Lisa has become a few degrees colder towards my presence after what happened.'

René Alejandro knew that he got off at a wrong start. His mind was filled with various plans to rectify the situation in order to prevent his mission from heading towards utter failure. He maintained a pleasant and interested expression, appearing as if he was listening to his step-mother's nonsensical conversation with Randy, when in fact, he was busy calculating the possibility of solving his predicament before the Christmas party was over tonight.

While he was occupied with his thoughts, the large group arrived at the indoor forest.
