Love In Fallen City

Chapter 3

Mrs. Lee took two approaches at the same time. She also found a man named Cha Eunwoo for Lisa. He worked in the customs. His wife had just passed away and he left behind five children. He was eager to remarry.

Mrs. Lee advocated that they should first deal with Jennie before finding a match for Lisa, because Jeon Jungkook would be going to Singapore soon. The Kim family regarded Lisa’s remarriage as a joke. They just wanted to get rid of her. They had no choice but to ignore it and let Mrs. Lee make a fuss. For Jennie’s marriage, they were busy and chaotic.

 They had two daughters, but one was in full swing, and the other was cold and deserted. The comparison was really embarrassing. Mrs. Kim searched for all the gold and pearls in the family and put everything that could be used on Jennie on her.

 When the girl in the third room had her birthday, the old lady forced the third grandmother to take out a piece of silk fabric given by her godmother and made a cheongsam for Jennie. Most of the old lady’s private savings over the years were furs. As she couldn’t wear furs in the summer, she had to pawn a mink coat and use the money to upgrade several of her jewellery to new styles.

Pearl earrings, jade bracelets, emerald rings, needless to say, Jennie must be dressed up in all the splendour. On that day, the old lady, the third master, the third grandmother, the fourth master, and the fourth grandmother all had to go. Jennie heard about the fourth grandmother’s conspiracy and was really annoyed with her. She insisted on not going out with the fourth grandmother’s two daughters, but was embarrassed to say no to them, so she tried her best to drag Lisa to go with her.

 A small car was packed with seven people, and there was really no room for them. The fourth grandmother’s daughters, Seulgi and Yeri, were eliminated.

They set out at five in the afternoon and didn’t return home until eleven in the evening. How could Seulgi Yeri feel at ease and sleep well? They watched them come back, but everyone was speechless. Jennie walked to the old lady's room with a sullen face, stripped off all the ornaments in a gust of wind, returned them to the old lady, and went back to the room without saying a word. Seulgi Yeri dragged Fourth Grandma to the balcony and asked her what was wrong.

Fourth Grandma angrily said, “I’ve never seen girls like you. It’s not like you went on a blind date, so why are you so hot and spicy!”

Third Grandma followed out and said softly, “Don’t make people take your words too seriously!”

Fourth Grandma simply shouted at Lisa’s room, “I just cursed her, so what? It’s not like she hasn’t seen a man for thousands of years. Why do you get so crazy when you smell the anger of a human being?”

Seulgi and Yeri were totally confused by her scolding. Third Grandma calmed their mother down and told them, “We went to the movies first.”

 Seulgi was surprised and asked, “Movies?”

Third Grandma said, “It’s not strange. We went there just to see people, but ended up sitting in the dark and couldn’t see anything. Later, Mrs. Lee told me that it was all Mr. Jeon’s idea. He was trying to make trouble. He wanted to leave the people there for two or three hours until their faces were oily and their rouge and powder faded, so he could see them more intimately. That was Mrs. Lee’s guess. In my opinion, Mr. Jeon was not sincere. He wanted to watch the movie because he was too lazy to socialize with us. After the movie, didn’t he want to slip away?”

Fourth Grandma couldn’t help but interrupt, “No, today’s incident was fine at the beginning. If it weren’t for the people in our nest making trouble, there would be a 70% to 80% chance of it happening!”
