“Let’s eat.” With Nancy’s word, everyone began digging in.
Jungkook thoughtfully served a bowl of soup to Lisa. He then placed a lot of various dishes in her bowl.
Lisa felt slightly embarrassed as the elders were present. She said softly, “I can help myself.”
“It’s fine. They won’t mind it. If they do, we won’t come home to eat again.” Jungkook was expressionless. The Jeon family’s men were similar in one aspect. They tended to focus on their careers and disliked having to deal with trouble at home.
Yet, when his Uncle Jeon Pu had been alive, he insisted on adopting a son and a daughter to cause problems.
Of course, this was mainly caused by Huang Zhishu’s instigations.
The Jeon family was sufficiently magnanimous for not tossing this group of mother and children out of their home, considering how long it has been since his uncle passed away.
Back when he was alive, Jeon Pu did not have many abilities. He was dependent on the Jeon family for his survival.
The Jeon family’s business, influence and position were entirely built on Jungkook’s grandfather and father’s hard work.
As of today, the Sheng Shi Group under his name had far exceeded the achievements that the generation before him had garnered.
He truly did not think much of his inheritance. However, he naturally would not reject the things that belonged to him.
Lisa was deeply moved by Jungkook’s words. She whispered. “Jungkook, it isn’t very good to speak to our elders like that, is it?”
“The Jeon family is different.” Jungkook looked at Lisa seriously. “The Bai family’s people can feel free to live as they please. Naturally, the same does not apply to outsiders.”
“Oh.” She understood this very well too.
Jungkook’s father, Jeon Hong, had been a powerful figure since young. He held a lot of influence in his hands. His mother, Ye Yunzhi, had always been by Jeon Hong side and the couple rarely returned home.
It seemed like it was extremely rare for the entire Jeon family to gather for a meal. They had given Lisa sufficient face on this day.
Jeon Hong and his wife rarely interfered with Jungkook’s matters. This was because their son was extremely independent and accomplished. There was no need for them to worry about him. Jeon Chongshan was of the same attitude.
Huang Zhishu and her children were also used to this.
Nancy glanced at them from the corner of her eyes and watched as her cousin, Jungkook, doted on Lisa despite his usual, cold disposition. Her heart was overwhelmed with jealousy.
She hated that Lisa had received the Bai family’s favour from the moment she appeared.
She was the Jeon family’s daughter, albeit an adopted one, but she had never received such positive attention from her family.
She wanted to declare to the Jeon family that she had become the Brushweiler Group’s successor. Compared to Lisa, she was much more suited to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Jungkook.
However, despite how valuable the status of Brushweiler Group’s successor was, it still could not compare with the Jeon family’s overwhelming power.
Right now, most of the powerful figures in politics, including the president himself, had been personally led into their positions by Grandfather Bai in his youth.
Jeon Hong’s position was also intimidatingly great.
He simply had no interest in vying for a greater position. Otherwise, he could easily take possession of Jeon Chongshan’s authority.
Combined with the influence that Jungkook had secretly accumulated over the years, as well as his financially powerful Sheng Shi Group…
The Jeon family’s empire could not be shaken and was an existence akin to an emperor’s palace!
Nancy was genuinely tempted to bring up her status as the Brushweiler Group’s successor.
However, she also feared that the three intelligent people in the Jeon family would notice that she was intentionally emphasising her own status.
There was a chance that things would not go as she hoped.
Thus, she did not dare to speak up.
Jungkook’s and Lisa’s engagement had been decided by the late Jeon family’s grandmother, Qin Hefang.
Back when she had been alive, Qin Hefang was deeply respected in the Jeon family. The Jeon family would not easily go back on the promise she had made.
If Lisa did not make any obvious mistakes, the Jeon family naturally would not interfere with this marriage.
