Sadly, Dong-wook’s traffic accident dashed his hopes completely just when things were looking up. In the process, he also lost his daughter.

He was unable to forgive himself for not being with his daughter all these years.

So-yeon said softly, “We plan on staying in the capital. Don’t worry about us Jennie, we can take care of ourselves, so you should focus on yourself.”

She genuinely did not want to burden her daughter.

“Then what about Dad’s injury? What do you plan to do about it?”

“We have been treating it while we were abroad, but we were only able to stabilize his condition. If he ever wants to walk again, it is basically impossible…” So-yeon shook her head gently. She glanced at Sehun and continued, “Since your older brother is a surgeon, he plans on operating on his father.”

Sehun was a renowned surgeon. He had gained a lot of fame after succeeding in performing a lot of complicated procedures. However, he did not dare to operate on his father. Dong-wook’s injury occurred many years ago, so he had already undergone countless surgeries. To begin with, old injuries were harder to treat than new ones.

Secondly, he could not help feeling apprehensive about surgery since the patient was his father.

Jennie could empathize with how he felt.

She said, “Tell me when you are ready for surgery. I will come to help my brother.”

Could any random person help with the surgery?

Dong-wook and So-yeon felt very moved when Jennie wanted to help. Their baby girl had grown into a sensible young woman.

It did not matter if she was able to help with the surgery. All that mattered was her concern.

“Mom, why don’t all of you have some rest. I will swing by in a couple of days to see you.” Jennie sounded as though she had known them forever.

Although the Lee family kept feeling guilty for not being able to spend quality time with Jennie all these years, Jennie knew how much they did for her.

Before long, Jennie and Lisa left. The Lee family was pleased with this change in Jennie.

Jennie kept thinking about her father’s condition after leaving the Lee residence.

Lisa was deep in thought about getting introduced to the Lee family.

After she had decided what to do about her father, she finally realized Lisa had been looking at her all this time.

“Is there something wrong with my face?” Jennie automatically pointed at her cheek.

Lisa looked at her deeply as he placed his hands on the back of her hand and her cheek. “Uh huh.”

“What is it?”

“I have to say you are quite pretty.”

Jennie felt tickled. It was hard to imagine a serious and restrained man saying something like that.

She could not help saying, “It seems you are in an excellent mood.”

“My mood is excellent.” Lisa’s eyes came alive as he spoke. The love of his life had just introduced him to her family and nothing was more gratifying and blissful than this. “Thank you, Jennie.”

He wanted to thank his girl for everything she gave him.

Jennie could tell what was on his mind and she felt sorry thinking about it. All she did was a minor gesture, but he was incredibly moved. She had introduced him to her family mostly to ease their worries. However, he was reacting as though it was a huge honor.

“Honey, this is completely normal. From now on, we will get to see even more family members,” said Jennie softly.

Lisa’s smiley eyes lit up and dazzled like stars.

Even though this was everyday life, he was swimming in bliss since he was with Jennie.

Before Jennie had even gotten around to helping out during Dong-wook’s surgery, it was already Kim Qing’s birthday.

Since it was Kim Qing’s birthday, it was naturally a grand affair for the Kim family.

Jennie was their foster daughter, so she was also invited.

As Yu Xiuhua handed Jennie the invitation in person, she suddenly recalled something and said, “Oh yes. I heard your parents and older brother are in town. Why don’t you bring them over?”

She always had the impression that the Lee family was not doing well, so she wanted to invite them and embarrass them at the party.

“Sure,” agreed Jennie right away.

It was the perfect time for the world to learn the truth.

Since it was inappropriate for the Lee family to bring such matters up, Jennie would do it for them.

Yu Xiuhua smiled happily. “You don’t have to bring any gifts and just treat it like you are coming home.”

Jennie could tell what Yu Xiuhua was trying to do. It was Kim Qing’s birthday, but Yu Xiuhua was trying to mislead her about not bringing a present. How could the guest come empty-handed? It would have been completely rude.

Although Kim Qing was not very good to Jennie, he was loads better than that two-faced Yu Xiuhua. Kim Qing was at least like a normal father to Jennie, so Jennie was not about to sever ties with him completely.

“Try to swing by early,” said Yu Xiuhua.

***

Kai’s family was the first to arrive on Kim Qing’s birthday.

Yu Xiuhua and Krystal welcomed them into the house personally. Yu Xiuhua looked at Kai happily as she said, “Kai, welcome. Please have a seat.”

Ever since the plagiarism incident, Kai had kept a low profile and had not shown his face for some time.

Through the talent agency’s efforts, the public was no longer talking about this, but Kai had clearly lost weight over the matter.

This incident was a real setback to his career. He deeply regretted his actions, so he found himself a new music teacher and was determined not to take shortcuts from now on.

The moment he saw Yu Xiuhua, he greeted her politely, “Hi, Madame Kim.”

The Kim and Chu families both felt someone was out to get Kai, so they felt sorry for him. Yu Xiuhua noticed all the weight Kai had lost and said, “Kai, you youngsters can’t keep dieting. The kitchen made some nourishing tonic soup. You must have some later.”

Kai thanked her before entering the villa.

Krystal went up and entered the villa with Kai’s parents.

There was heavy security since it was a gathering of the rich and powerful and they had to ensure no reporters would get in.

Kai’s cousin was present as well. The moment Chu Jia saw Krystal, she went over and greeted her, “Hi, Krystal!”

“Jiajia, come upstairs with me later. I bought some new skincare and it suits your skin type, so I got you a set too.”

Chu Jia was delighted. “Thanks! You are the best!”

The Chu clan were rich and powerful, so skincare meant nothing to them. However, it was very thoughtful of Krystal to keep thinking about them and saving nice things for them, so everyone in the Chu family liked her.

Mr and Mrs Chu watched as Krystal held Chu Jia’s hand and went upstairs. Their guilt towards Jennie automatically diminished a little.

Since Jennie only cared about herself, she was incapable of taking care of Kai if they got married. Krystal was far better since she was poised and thoughtful.
