The CEO'S Incredible Heiress (Book 2)

Chapter 258 - This World Is Unfair

Other than the reason for Jennie not wanting to leave, Krystal wanted to use Jennie's willfulness, pettiness, and conflict to show off her own generosity and understanding.

Everything had to be contrasted. She was afraid that she would not be able to blend in with the Shi family, so she needed Jennie to compare with.

As expected, Yuxiu Hua and Kim Qing were quickly won over by her sensible and obedient behavior. When the rest of the Kim family saw this, they all said, "As expected of the biological one!"

Old Master Lee found it hard to believe that she would do such a thing. By the time he came back to his senses, it had been a few years since then and Jennie no longer trusted the Lee family.

The call just now was just another testament to Krystal's true nature.

Old Master Lee regretted it so much that his insides hurt. He felt even more guilty and vexed. He had been shrewd all his life, but he had actually been fooled by a little girl.

Seeing the look in his eyes again, the driver advised, "Old Master, don't let your health deteriorate. Doesn't Miss already know about the Lee family's painstaking efforts? Besides, it's inevitable that tigers fall asleep and get tricked by little white rabbits sometimes."

Jennie returned home and went upstairs with her clothes.

The study room was ajar and Lisa was working. Jennie stuck her head in.

Seeing that he was busy with a video conference, Jennie quickly mouthed, "I'm sorry, carry on."

Lisa said into the computer, "Let's call it a day."

He got up and walked towards Jennie.

When he was at home, he did not wear a suit. Instead, he had changed into a beige casual outfit, which made him seem less aloof and more easygoing.

He had just gotten out of work and there was a hint of seriousness in his expression. He was still handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.

"I just wanted to see if you were busy and tell you something," Jennie explained. She hadn't expected him to notice her and end the meeting.

"Yes, go ahead." Lisa was prepared to listen.

When he spoke to others, his gaze was always like a torch. Sometimes, when he didn't directly look at the person speaking, he would exert a huge pressure, but when he spoke to Jennie, he would look into her eyes seriously, as if she was the only one in the world.

"Grandfather is coming over tomorrow and will have lunch with me. I think it'll be better if you accompany me."

With that, Lisa led her to the closet.

Needless to say, Jennie understood what he meant. Choose clothes!

The last time he had gone to see her parents and brother, Lisa had gone through a lot of trouble. It hadn't been easy for him to find a familiar face in front of the three of them, and now he had to accept the Old Master's test. How could he go unprepared?

Facing the huge wardrobe, Lisa was in a pickle once again.

In fact, the clothes in his wardrobe did not differ much in terms of style or material. Most of them were formal wear, with a small portion being casual wear. The formal wear was mainly dark-colored, while the casual wear was mostly beige-colored.

It meant that there was really nothing to choose from.

"This… Will it age me?" Lisa reached out to take a set, a sentence appearing in his mind.

He was five years older than Jennie, would Old Master Lee despise him? No, he'd have to choose something different.

He took another set. "Won't this look childish?"

It would make Old Master Lee feel uneasy about letting him take care of Jennie.

The more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became. The formal attire was too formal and oppressive. It did not fit the requirements for meeting her family. While the casual wear was too informal, making him seem frivolous and not steady enough.

The rest was even worse.

Lisa didn't say these words out loud, but Jennie understood everything, as though it was written all over his face.

Several hundred sets of clothes were rejected by Lisa just like that. The designer might start to doubt his line of work if he knew.

Jennie knew it!

She reached out and handed him the clothes she had brought back from the company. "These'll work. I made clothes for Supreme Entertainment today and saw that this material was not bad. I got them to make a set for you."

Lisa took the clothes from Jennie's hands. His deep black eyes lit up immediately, and his voice was sexy and steady. "This set is very suitable."

Jennie thought to herself, "Oh please, Master Manoban, you haven't even opened the box."

Lisa lowered his eyes and his gaze landed on the box. He threw it down on the sofa and wrapped his arms around Jennie's waist. He pulled her closer and said in a hoarse, pleasant voice, "Thank you."

He really liked this gift.

Jennie raised her eyes. Lisa lowered his head and kissed her scarlet lips.

As expected, she did not resist. Instead, she raised her slender neck to respond. Lisa's palm landed carefully on her slender waist.

Jennie had wanted to tell him to try the clothes on first, but now, there was no need.

She had never thought that giving him this set of clothes would trigger such a huge reaction from him. He held the back of her head and kissed her seemingly endlessly.

***

The next day, Lisa woke up early and put on the clothes Jennie had given him.

For the first time, he seriously examined his figure and height in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

His clothes were custom-made by the Manoban family, so it was rare to see a suit made of this material and design in his closet. It turned out that this was the most beautiful suit he now owned.

When Jennie got out of bed, she saw Lisa sitting on the sofa, working. She had no idea that Lisa had been wearing the set of clothes and looking at his beautiful self in front of the mirror for more than half an hour.

She remembered that this was her first time meeting Old Master Lee in this lifetime. She said, "I want to buy some gifts for Grandpa."

"Yes, Grandpa likes to grow flowers and herbs, and he likes to drink tea." Lisa knew his old friend from the Lee family and had already inquired about Old Master Lee's preferences.

In the past, Jennie had resisted him and did not want to be with him at all. Even if it was the Lee family's preference, he had the energy, but had no way to use it. Now, it was useful.

Seeing his expression, Jennie could guess what he was thinking. He had already made too many preparations for their lives.

Jennie did not stop him from preparing the gift.

At noon, Lisa drove with Jennie to the bamboo garden that Old Master Lee had booked.

After all, Jennie was an artiste now. She still wore a mask with Lisa, moving in a low-profile manner. However, as he was meeting her family, she didn't put on much of a disguise.

Therefore, the moment they entered, they attracted Lisa's gaze.

Krystal raised her head and looked over. Why would Jennie come to Bamboo Garden? The prices here were not low.

On second thought, Jennie was now a rather famous artiste with a high income. Krystal felt upset.

For someone like Jennie, who could earn a fortune just by writing or singing a song, and someone like her who had studied piano and Chinese art seriously, their incomes were disparate.. This world was really unfair.
