Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 79: Dilemma

During the meal, Lisa reported her ‘glorious’ battle results to Jungkook.

She mainly talked about how she had suppressed Krystal throughout the entire conversation, not giving her a chance to defend herself.

Jungkook replied very quickly and sent Lisa an encouraging emoji. It was a picture of a little boy clenching his fist and cheering.

Lisa did not expect Jungkook to send such a cute message and could not help but laugh out loud.

Jisoo stole a glance and snorted at Lisa with her nose, causing Lisa to look at her with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t you get tired of sending messages to your husband all day long?”

Seeing that Jisoo had started to be jealous of Jungkook again, Lisa did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“I just sent him a message.”

“A girl who  forgets her friends when she has a man. What an unreliable girl. Qiao Li, you’re still the best, Qiao Li! When you have a partner, you can’t abandon me.”

Looking at the playful Jisoo, Qiao Li burst into laughter and said, “Okay.”.

Lisa put down her phone and picked up her chopsticks. During this time, she did not forget to pay attention to the jade bracelet.

She was a little regretful that she had brought the bracelet to the company. She had to look at it for the rest of the day, afraid that it would break.

Only then did Jisoo notice Lisa’s careful movements. When she looked at the bracelet again, her eyes could not help but widen.

“Lisa, where did you get such a good jade bracelet! Did you win the lottery? Or did it fall from the sky?”

Before Jisoo could finish exclaiming in surprise, Lisa had already given her goosebumps. She would have never thought that Lisa had bought it. After all, Lisa had borrowed 2,000 yuan from her the day before yesterday.

“I didn’t win the lottery. I didn’t pick it up for free. Jungkook gave it to me when we got married.”

Stroking the jade bracelet, Lisa revealed a gentle smile.

Her mother was sick, and Yeonjun was studying. Before Jungkook appeared, she was struggling to support them and herself. However, after Jungkook entered her life, she felt homely again. Their home was a harbor where she could rest and dock.

“Jungkook gave it to you?” These words shocked Jisoo even more than if Lisa were to tell her that she had won the lottery.

No one knew better than her, who was Lisa’s good friend, what kind of person Jungkook was. That hooligan actually had the money to buy such a bracelet for Lisa? Then why was he letting Lisa be the sole breadwinner for them?

After thinking for a while, Jisoo asked, “He gave it to you when you got married? A family heirloom?”

Lisa shook her head to show that she did not know. When Jungkook gave it to her, he did not specifically mention the source of the bracelet, but she assumed that it was probably a family heirloom.

Qiao Li also held Lisa’s wrist and looked at it. Perhaps it was because she had some knowledge of jade. After touching it a few times, Qiao Li said to Lisa, “This bracelet is very precious. You have to treasure it well.”

Lisa smiled and nodded. To her, the price of the bracelet was not important. It was just like the first time she went to a jewelry store. Even though she was in urgent need of money, she did not sell it. Perhaps she had subconsciously felt that this bracelet had an extraordinary meaning to her.

It was not just a piece of merchandise, but a tie between her and Jungkook.

When she returned to the office in the afternoon, her colleagues informed her to make a trip to Krystal’s office.

Now, Lisa was not afraid anymore. She had just finished arguing with Krystal in the morning. If anything happened in the afternoon, Krystal’s reputation would be completely ruined.

Once she arrived at the office, Lisa thought that Krystal was very strange because she was smiling too warmly at her, so warmly that her neck was full of goosebumps.

Although there was a middle-aged man in the office, Lisa still stood at the door vigilantly and said, “May I ask why you are looking for me?”

“Come closer.” Krystal did not seem to notice Lisa’s repulsion and called her in.

“Lisa! This is General Manager Wang of Hongye Company, representing Hongye Company to discuss a business deal with us. Just now, we were talking about gold and jade. General Manager Wang is very knowledgeable about this. I would like to ask him to help check if your bracelet is real or fake. After all, you are Kai’s junior. I don’t want you to be deceived.”

Seeing that Krystal was interested in her bracelet again, Lisa wanted to slap Krystal to death on the wall like swatting a fly.

Lisa did not believe the identity of this person, but she did not know what reason she could use to refuse.

If this person was really not someone Krystal had hired to put on an act, and was just a client of the company, if she rejected this small request and caused the loss of this client, it was likely that even CEO Song would not protect her.

While Lisa was hesitating, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, “Mrs. Mo, can I borrow your jade bracelet to take a look?”
