Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 143: Was Right to Choose You

Everything went according to Lisa's expectations. On the day of the meeting, Lin Peng attended the meeting as usual, and they lost the project.

When she left, Lisa glanced at Lin Peng. She didn't expect the Lin family's young master to also look at her with a vicious gaze, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Lisa frowned, and her gaze shifted to the side of him. Standing there was the sales company that has won the project. Seeing her look at her, the sales representative gave Lisa a provocative look, which made Lisa feel a little amused.

"Sister Lisa, it seems that Krystal didn't come today!"

Lisa only remembered her after Jennie reminded her. She had been spending time with Jungkook these two days and had forgotten about her.

She looked around the entire meeting room and indeed didn't see Krystal.

Lisa looked at Soyeon, and Soyeon gave her a secret look. The two of them understood each other.

"Maybe she has something going on!" Lisa casually said.

Jennie looked at Lisa suspiciously, but didn't say anything in the end.

As for the plan that Lin Ye had mentioned the day before yesterday, Lisa hadn't mentioned it to the two of them. Although she was sure that the previous incident wouldn't repeat itself if she cooperated with Lin Ye, she didn't really trust Lin Group.

As too many bad things had happened during this trip to Jing City, Lisa only wanted to leave.

After explaining to Jungkook yesterday, Lisa was ready to return to C City. Jungkook also agreed with her decision. Or rather, even if Lisa did not mention it, Jungkook would also suggest it.

After returning to the hotel, while Jennie was packing, Lisa and Soyeon came to the balcony.

"Sister Xu, do you know the reason why Krystal didn't come today?" Lisa asked.

Soyeon lit a cigarette and took a puff. "I'm not sure, but I saw the police take her away yesterday."

Soyeon's looked conflicted. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard that they did not win the project. She had spent a lot of effort on this project and only wanted to use it to turn things around, but she didn't win it in the end.

The person in charge of the project did not care about the profits of the project, nor did he care about the feasibility of the project. He only focused on which company could give him women. Ha! Soyeon suddenly felt that her efforts these past few days were not worth it.

"Krystal was taken away by the police? What has she done in the past two days?"

After blowing out a smoke ring, Soyeon said, "As far as I know, she has been staying in the hotel for the past two days. She should not have caused any trouble."

"So Krystal was also involved in the kidnapping of me."

"Yes, likely. Otherwise, how did your stepsister get in touch with Lin Peng?"

Actually, Lisa had also suspected Krystal, but she could not say anything without having any evidence.

After hesitating for a moment, Lisa still told her about the project that Lin Ye had given her.

"Are you saying that the boy you saved is also a member of the Lin family?" Soyeon did not know if it was time to lament the fate between Lisa and the Lin family.

Seeing Soyeon smoking, Lisa suddenly wanted to give it a try. Could cigarettes really solve her worries?

"Yes, Lin Ye is Lin Peng's cousin. He gave the project to me and asked if Hong Jing would accept it."

Although this project was probably given to her to keep her mouth shut, it was ultimately related to the company's interests. She could not decide on her own.

"What do you think?" Soyeon asked.

Lisa smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I don't want it. If I accept it, it means that everything I did previously was in vain and the harm I suffered will be written off. But this is an opportunity to cooperate with Lin Group. It's related to the development of the company. Even if I'm unwilling, I can't decide on my own."

"Moreover, Lin Ye and I have more or less established a friendship. Lin Peng's matter will not happen again."

Even though Lisa repeatedly emphasized that she and Lin Ye did not owe each other anything, Lin Ye still felt that he owed her a favor.

"Lisa, CEO Song was right to choose you."

Soyeon said as she passed a cigarette to Lisa. She knew that Lisa's heart was bitter.

Lisa took the cigarette and didn't learn to smoke it. She only held it between her fingers and stared into the distance in a daze.

"CEO Song made the right choice in choosing her? But she felt that she shouldn't have come to Jing City. If she hadn't come, so much wouldn't have happened."

Suddenly, Jennie's voice sounded from inside the room. "Sister Xu, sister Lisa, have you packed your things?"

The two of them looked at each other, and Soyeon said to Lisa, "You said that this project will take some time, so let's go back to C City first and let CEO Song decide."

"Okay."

Lisa nodded and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She could finally go home...
