Tzuyu disregarded her image as she cried. She was not afraid of disturbing others, embarrassing herself, or being criticized and mocked. She cried so loud as though she wanted to tum all the grievances and hardships she had suffered in her life into tears.

Tzuyu was crying her eyes out, but Lisa’s smile was frozen on her face. Wait, didn’t she tell Tzuyu not to cry? Why was she crying even louder?

The deafening cries attracted the attention of the other members of the Jeon family. Even Mingyu and Haruto, who had just arrived, ran over, thinking that something had happened.

“Click.”

The lights in the studio were tumed on. The sudden light caused Lisa to narrow her eyes. She smiled awkwardly as everyone’s gazes were on them. “Why is everyone here?”

In the eyes of the onlookers, this scene looked like Lisa had bullied her timid little sister and made her cry. Shen Hanxing did not know how to explain this awkward scene.

“I...came to call you for dinner, Sister-in-law,” Jieun stammered. Jieun was also shocked.

“We came up because we heard someone crying.” Haruto swallowed his saliva and replied in a daze, “I was afraid that something happened to you guys, so I came up with Mr. Jeon to take a look.”

Jungkook had taken the small elevator up the stairs. At this moment, his eyes were looking at Lisa with a profound gaze. She was unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

“This expression… did he possibly misunderstand something and wanted to seek an explanation behind his sister’s tears”

Seeing his gloomy expression, Lisa subconsciously explained, “To be honest, I don’t know what happened either. I’m not sure why she suddenly started crying…”

“CEO Jeon,” Mingyu took a step forward and stood in front of Lisa, He bent slightly and explained, “Lisa is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding.”

“Get out of my way,” Jungkook’s eyes were cold as he looked at Mingyu gloomily. Jungkook was clearly the one sitting on the wheelchair, but his gaze naturally carried a sense of condescension.

Mingyu’s expression also darkened. He did not budge an inch. “No one can bully her in front of me.”

If he wanted to bully Shen Hanxing, Jungkook would have to step over his corpse.

Jungkook’s expression became uglier and uglier. Without a word, he leaned over and grabbed Lisa’s right wrist. He pulled her towards him. Lisa was forced to stand in front of him. Just as she was about to say something, Jungkook slowly took out a snow-white handkerchief from his jacket pocket. He opened her palm and gently wiped it.

That was when Lisa realized that she had accidentally stained her hand with paint when she was drawing earlier. She lowered her eyes, feeling a rare sense of embarrassment. “Oh… you wanted to wipe my hands. I can do it myself.”

“What else did you think I would do?” Jungkook’s eyes raised slightly under his sword-like eyebrows as he revealed a slight smile. He asked in return, “Did you think I was going to interrogate you or hit you?”

‘Well, that was not what she was thinking.

Lisa thought that if they really fought, Jungkook would not be able to beat her. She had never been afraid of anyone when it came to fighting.

Mingyu witnessed the interaction between the two and saw that Jungkook did not have any intention of hurting Lisa. Mingyu stood there with a somber expression. Jungkook’s gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep past him. Jungkook snorted inwardly. After wiping Lisa’s hand, he did not let go. He gently held her fair and tender hand in his.

Her ears were still filled with Tzuyu’s unrestrained crying. Lisa did not have the time to care about these little details. She was having a headache from the crying, She frowned and asked, “What should we do? We can’t have her continue crying, right?”

“It’s fine. She’ll be fine after crying for a while,” Jungkook was much calmer now. He said unhurriedly, “Let her continue crying.”

Since Tzuyu’s oldest brother had already spoken, the others naturally would not say anything, Jieun thought for a moment and went downstairs to bring up a pile of tissues. Her actions were a little rough as she stuffed them into Tzuyu’s hands. “Wipe your snot first. You can continue crying after that.”

It was fine if she cried a little loud and ugly. However, Jieun did not want Tzuyu to accidentally ingest her snot. Tzuyu did not stop crying at all. After hugging the tissues tightly, she turned around and threw herself into Jieun’s arms. She cried even louder.

“Hey, hey, hey, the snot! You’ve got all your snot on me!” Jieun was like an angry little kitten. Her whole body was stiff as she tried to push Tzuyu away, but she did not dare to move. She could only keep a straight face as she used every cell in her body to vividly demonstrate what it meant to be at a loss.

Jieun subconsciously looked at Lisa for help, but her sister-in-law was watching them with a smile on her face. Lisa had no intention of reaching out to help her.

Gritting her teeth, Jieun simply closed her eyes and said, “Fine, just cry. Just don’t cry into my ears. If you make me deaf from your crying, you’ll be paying for my treatment.”
