The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife

82.It Was Similar to Jungkook's Imposing Manner

In Tzuyu’s heart, this girl had bullied Fourth Sister before, so Tzuyu naturally stayed away from her. However, Tzuyu was used to retreating and always hiding in her shell. She really did not know how to reject the kindness of others. Tzuyu could only look at her sister-in-law for help. Lisa subconsciously wanted to help her, but Jungkook held her hand. She looked up and saw Jungkook shaking his head at her. He said, “Let her learn how to reject someone on her own.” He lowered his voice, and his breath was right next to her ear. “She can’t hide behind you forever. It’s time for her to grow up.” Lisa knew what Jungkook said made sense. After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her eyes and did not move.

In the end, the weak-natured Tzuyu was dragged upstairs by Irene. “Um…” Mei was thinking about how to swindle the money from Lisa, so she did not notice the surging undercurrents in the living room. At that moment, she only cared about hinting at Lisa. She said, “Lisa, can we talk for a while?”

She was always afraid of her nephew, Jungkook. She did not dare to ask Jungkook to leave, so she could only urge Lisa.

Lisa felt that it was funny. After reveling in Mei’s nervous expression for a while, Lisa slowly said, “Okay, let’s go to the study then.”

“I’m going to the study to read some documents,” Jungkook suddenly said. It was hard to tell whether he was feeling. “You guys can chat in the living room.” After he said that, he turned his wheelchair to go upstairs without waiting for Lisa to reply.

When Jungkook was around, he had a strong sense of presence that was hard to ignore even when he did not speak. When he went upstairs, Mei let out a long breath and patted her chest. “Sigh, my nephew is good in every aspect, but he is a little too cold.”

Mei looked left and right and saw that the servants had sensibly left. There was no one else in the living room. Thus, she pretended to be considerate and sympathetic. She sighed, “Everyone in the Jeon family is like this. Lisa, you’ve suffered…”

“Auntie, you’re joking. I don’t feel like I’ve suffered at all,” Lisa’s eyes were cold, but she smiled. “Mr. Jeon is very good.”

Suffered? She was living a life of luxury, she had a harmonious family, and her younger brothers and sisters were obedient. How has she suffered in any way? Her current life could not be any better.

Mei saying that Jungkook was not good in front of her made Lisa feel particularly annoyed. Lisa’s tone was mixed with a hint of unhappiness. Mei was able to thrive in the rich ladies’ circle as she conned one person after another. Thus, she had the basic ability to read people. When she saw Lisa’s cold and clear gaze at this moment, she suddenly felt a little scared. It became a little harder for her to continue her words.

It was strange. Lisa was a young lady who was not even twenty years old, so why was her aura so strong? She was just like Mei’s eccentric nephew. It was so scary. Mei’s heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, the iciness coming from Lisa disappeared in a flash. Lisa quickly smiled again. She said gently, “Auntie, please don’t take offense. You know that I didn’t grow up in this circle. I’ve already climbed the social ladder by being able to marry into the Jeon family and living like this. Therefore, I really don’t feel that my current life is awful, nor do I feel that Jungkook is not good. So please don’t say what you just said earlier anymore.”

Lisa’s way of speaking had always been straightforward to the point of being blunt. Mei was momentarily speechless. Fortunately, Mei’s skin was thick enough, so she quickly regained her composure. “Yes, yes, you’re right. It’s my fault. As your aunt, seeing that you poured your heart and soul into Jungkook, I am also very happy. However, I also want to give you a piece of advice out of concern. With your status, it’s better to save some money for yourself.”

“Of course.”

Lisa did not refute that. She nodded and said, “I also know that my status is awkward. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked for Auntie’s help. It’s really…”

“Bang!”

“Ah!”

The violin’s tune changed to a piercing sound, and the girls’ screams interrupted their conversation. Lisa’s expression changed, and she quickly got up and ran upstairs. Eunwoo and Hyunjin also opened their room doors and met Jungkook in the corridor. The whole group rushed into Tzuyu’s room.

They opened the door. The teapot containing fruit tea had fallen to the ground. Beside it was a violin that was stained with water. Tzuyu’s white dress was splashed with tea, and she was squatting beside the violin with red eyes, glaring at Irene. Lisa could not understand at all. Where did such a fool like Irene come from?

Mei had tried her best to please Lisa and deceive her, but Irene had repeatedly obstructed Mei and bullied Tzuyu? Was she asking for a beating?

“What’s going on?” Jungkook’s eyes were cold.

Tzuyu was young to begin with and had suffered a lot. Everyone was afraid of agitating her after she was finally found and brought back to the Jeon family. Thus, they let her do whatever she wanted.
