The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife

139.Charity Dinner

Baekhyun gave a wry smile and lowered his head. “No… I haven’t met any actresses I like yet. If you have anyone who wants to take part, feel free to tell me.” Worst case scenario, he could just adjust the script later, so the actress will not drag down the movie.

“Huh?” Lisa was a little surprised. Then, he thought of something, he laughed and said, “I’m an outsider, I don’t understand the rules of your industry, and I won’t interfere much. I just have a little sister who wants to join the industry. When I was reading the script, I felt that the role of the second female lead was very suitable for her. So, I want to let her come for an audition. If she’s good, you can use her. If she’s not good, you don’t have to force it. After all, I’ve invested so much money. I don’t want to lose money.”

Baekhyun felt relieved and quickly nodded. “Yes, of course. Please ask her to come over anytime.”

Other than Baekhyun, Lisa didn’t find any other projects that she wanted to invest in. She simply sat with Eunha and enjoyed the leisure time of afternoon tea.

Mei shuttled around the venue like a socialite. After a long while, she finally stopped and sat beside Lisa. “Why didn’t you look at the other projects?”

“I’m not interested.” Lisa’s slender fingers pinched a small silver fork. She poked the pink and tender cake twice. “What these people presented are indeed interesting, but they just don’t appeal to me. I might as well put more investment into the previous company.”

Mei was a little surprised, but soon she smiled. “It’s okay. If you’re not interested, then just stop. I bring you here just to let you meet more people and see if there are any other investment projects that you’re interested in. If there aren’t, that’s okay too.”

“I’m sorry to trouble you.” Lisa smiled. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to inform Mr. Bae to prepare the documents and pick a time to sign the contract?”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Mei nodded with a smile and quickly replied, “You can go back now if you’re tired of staying here. I’ll contact you again when the time comes.”

Mei seemed to have an endless amount of energy. After drinking a mouthful of water, she returned to the crowd and shuttled back and forth. The noblewomen were all full of admiration for her. They surrounded her like stars surrounding the moon.

Lisa lazily leaned back on the chair, his slender fingers lightly tapping on it. “Look, a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.”

“All of them are arrogant and should be taught a lesson.” Eunha pursed her lips. It was obvious that she looked down on these so-called noblewomen. “They still think they’re special and above the others. I can’t deal with them.”

Since they were bored, the two of them did not force themselves to stay and left immediately.

When they returned to the Jeon family’s house, the sky had already darkened, but there was no food in the house. Jungkook had changed into a silver suit, he looked over from his wheelchair. “I’ll have to trouble you to accompany me to a charity banquet.”

“Now?” Lisa frowned slightly. “Why is it so sudden?”

“It’s easy to reveal a flaw if one is caught off guard.” Jungkook raised the corner of his mouth mockingly. “I’m afraid someone is already impatient.”

Lisa’s eyes were a little cold. Fortunately, she was born with a natural beauty. She only needed to make a slight change in her appearance when she went out today. With just some makeup, she looked radiant. After changing into a beautiful dress, the two of them went out hand in hand.

Mei stood at the door. When she saw the two of them coming over, she immediately put on a smile. She patted her forehead and pretended to be upset. “Look at how busy I am. I forgot to tell you that you have a party today. It’s all my fault.”

“Fortunately, Irene reminded me.” Mei patted Irene’s hand with gratification. She smiled faintly and said, “If she didn’t notice that something was wrong in time and reissued the invitation, I’m afraid I would have made a big joke today.”

Irene held Mei’s hand and smiled obediently. “Mom is too busy. It’s only right that I can share some of the burden for you.” She seemed to have walked out of the shadow of the previous few humiliations. She was dressed elegantly and greeted Lisa and Jungkook with a smile.

This charity gala was nominally organized by the Angel Foundation, and the founder of this foundation was Mei. The foundation was specialized in providing educational assistance to children in the mountainous areas. Several times, Mei had received praise from the media for sending clothes and books to the children in the mountainous areas. As a result, Mei became a famous figure among the wealthy women, and her status rose rapidly.

During this period of time, Irene was helping in the foundation, and her status had improved as a result. She had been reported by the media several times for being kind.

However, Lisa doubted the authentication of the news reports.
