Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 6: Extravagantly

 

 

Lisa lowered her head and said again, “After all, our finances are limited, so we have to be more careful in the way we spend money. Fortunately, you didn’t buy it in the end, but you can’t do this again in the future.”

Hearing this, Jungkook finally understood what she meant. He frowned and asked, “Do you think I have no money?”

Hearing that, Lisa hesitantly looked up at Jungkook’s expression and her voice softened, she explained, “I’m not blaming you... I know that you wanted to help me, but there are many things at home that need to be fixed. Even if you have money, you can use it on more important things.”

For some reason, after hearing the word “home” come out from her mouth, Jungkook felt touched. The corners of his mouth curled up and he replied, “Got it.”

Jungkook’s reply was short. Lisa thought that he was in a bad mood. She quickly added, “When I get my dowry back, we will have more money to spend. It’s just that before we earn money, we can’t spend money extravagantly.”

If she married Jungkook, her father had promised to give her a dowry of 500,000 yuan. As long as she got the dowry, she would have the money to pay for the treatment of her mother’s illness and send her brother to school. Her financial situation would not be as dire as it was now.

However, since she was getting this money from taking over the identity of her stepsister, Eunbi to marry Jungkook, she could not tell Jungkook about this.

“Oh?” A playful smile appeared on Jungkook’s face. He looked straight into Lisa’s eyes and said meaningfully, “Spending money extravagantly? Aren’t you pampered in your family? Why are you worried about this?”

Worried that she would be exposed, Lisa lowered her head and once again avoided Jungkook’s gaze. Her heartbeat was as fast as a drum. She mumbled and changed the topic, “You, are you thirsty? I’ll go buy you some water.”

After saying that, Lisa hurriedly ran to a nearby convenience store.

Looking at Lisa’s figure, Jungkook chuckled. At this moment, his phone vibrated. He took out his phone and the smile immediately stopped.

“How’s the investigation going?” Jungkook asked in a deep voice. At this moment, Lisa was holding a bottle of mineral water in a freezer in the distance.

“Fourth Master Jeon, the investigation is almost done. On the day of the accident, someone did tamper with the brake pads of your car, likely the person whom you are suspecting.” The person on the other end of the phone also lowered his voice.

“Yes, continue to investigate. I want concrete evidence.” Jungkook’s voice was cold.

“Yes, Fourth Master. How long are you going to stay in that village? When will you return to the capital?”

Jungkook rubbed the space between his brows and looked at Lisa who was running over not far away. He said lightly, “We’ll see.”

After hanging up the phone, Lisa arrived in front of him and handed him a bottle of ice water. Her eyes were sparkling as she said, “I picked ice water on purpose. It’s perfect for a hot day.”

Jungkook took the bottle of ice water and opened it. He saw Lisa asking worriedly, “What’s wrong? You don’t look well.”

She had just come over and saw Jungkook on the phone. His expression was grave, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.

Jungkook shook his head and said plainly, “It’s nothing. Let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

Lisa responded and followed behind Jungkook. She looked at the back of his head and felt a little depressed.

Even though they had become husband and wife, there was always a layer of estrangement between her and Jungkook, which prevented them from confiding in each other and trusting each other.

After returning home, Jungkook began to focus on exercising. Lisa had just finished preparing lunch and placed the dishes on the table. She was calling Jungkook over to have lunch when she heard a phone ring.

Lisa looked at Jungkook and realized that his expression was neutral. Only then did she realize that it was her phone. She hurriedly wiped the water stains on her hands and jogged to pick up her phone by the bed.

The number on it was her brother’s.

Lisa took a deep breath and looked at Jungkook, who was sitting not far away and preparing to eat. She hurriedly muted her phone and walked out quickly. “You eat first. I’ll go outside to get some fresh air.”

Jungkook calmly watched Lisa walk out of the door a little nervously. Without saying anything, he scooped food for the two of them.

Lisa walked to the vegetable patch behind the house. After making sure that Jungkook could not hear her, she picked up the phone. “Hello? What’s wrong?”

On the other end of the phone, her brother’s voice sounded very anxious. “Lisa, mother’s condition has worsened again today. She even vomited blood this morning. The doctor said that they have to carry out the surgery as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late. Did you get the money?”

Lisa’s tone was very bitter. “I will get the money as soon as possible for mother’s surgery. Don’t worry, take good care of mother.”
