Due to Grandpa Su’s firm decision, Lisa could only accept what Grandpa Su had suggested. They discussed more the business plan. This time, Namjoon also took part in the discussion.
“By the way, Tang Girl, does your grandfather know about this?” Grandpa Su asked.
“Nope. He doesn’t know about this. I want to keep this plan a secret until it is finally opened. So, just don’t tell my grandfather yet.” Lisa said happily. “Even my trip here is a secret too. No one knows about this.”
“You are really working very hard.” Grandpa Su commented.
“I need to work hard to prove myself.” Lisa said.
“Prove yourself? To whom?” Grandpa Su felt weird with Lisa’s sentence.
“To myself, to my family and especially to people who think I am just a parasite on Tang Family.” Lisa explained.
“Parasite?” Grandpa Su still did not understand what Lisa was talking about.
“Actually, I am adopted into the Tang Family by grandfather. I do not know who is my real family.” Lisa displayed a sad smile.
“Oh... I see. Don’t be sad Tang Girl. I know my friend. He totally loves you.” Grandpa Su patted Lisa’s head.
“Okay. We will continue this discussion another time. We should have lunch together to celebrate our partnership.” Grandpa Su said.
“Okay. It would be nice.” Lisa nodded.
“Come, I will bring you to a nice restaurant.” Grandpa Su smiled.
Grandpa Su brought them to the hotel. The temperature was increased up to 38 degree celsius making the day became very hot. Since the parking lot was a little bit far, they walked to the restaurant.
When they were about to enter the restaurant, Lisa suddenly fell onto the ground. Aoi barked alerting Namjoon and Grandpa Su who were walking in front of her. They turned around and saw Lisa had already fainted on the ground.
“LISA.” Namjoon shouted.
“Tang Girl.” Grandpa Su also shouted.
Namjoon lifted Lisa and brought her into the restaurant. He put Lisa on the sofa. The scene was a little bit chaos since some of the customers saw Lisa fainting outside. Namjoon asked the staff to bring some water.
“Move away. I’m a doctor.” A man shouted asking the onlookers to give the way to go and take a look at Lisa.
The doctor was Sang Wan Yi, one of Grandpa Tang’s friend. He checked Lisa’s condition. After a while, he nodded.
“What has happened to her?” Namjoon asked.
“She has fainted because of the weather and her body is very tired. I suggest that she must take a rest for a few days. Or after she wakes up, just send her to the hospital for further check-up.” Sang Wan Yi diagnosed Lisa’s condition.
“I see... “ Namjoon took a relief breath.
However, he thought about Sang Want Yi’s suggestion to bring Lisa to the hospital was a good idea. Lisa seemed to exhaust herself about the business plan here. Probably with a doctor’s recommendation, Lisa would be resting.
While Sang Wan Yi was very shocked when he realized that the girl who had just fainted was Lisa. Grandpa Su greeted Sang Wan Yi.
“Never thought to see you here.” Grandpa Su said.
“Oh, it is you, Su Jin. What are you doing here?” Sang Wan Yi greeted him back.
“Actually I come with this girl who has just fainted.” Grandpa Su explained.
“You know her too?” Sang Wan Yi looked at Grandpa Su.
“Yeah. Jiang Man visited me last time. He brought his granddaughter too.” Grandpa Su told him.
“I see.” Sang Wan Yi nodded.
“I’m jealous of Jiang Man having such a great granddaughter like her. I want to adopt a granddaughter too if I find one like Tang Girl.” Grandpa Su sighed.
“Huh? What do you mean by that?” Sang Wan Yi asked.
“About what?” Grandpa Su did not get Sang Wan Yi’s meaning.
“About you want to adopt a granddaughter too. What do you mean by this?” Sang Wan Yi asked again.
“Oh, Tang Girl told me that she was adopted by Jiang Man. Eh, I don’t think I should tell you about this. Ignore it.” Grandpa Su slipped his tongue.
Meanwhile, Sang Wan Yi felt shocked when he heard about this news. ‘She was adopted by Jiang Man.’ The words kept playing inside his mind. He thought that he needed to tell his friend about this.
After a while, Lisa regained her consciousness. She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw an unfamiliar place.
‘Master.’ Aoi called his master with a worried tone.
‘Aoi.' Lisa reached out Aoi’s head and patted him gently.
“How are you feeling, Lisa?” Namjoon asked when he realized Lisa had already wakened up.
“I’m sorry to make you worry about me like this.” Lisa smiled weakly.
“You just work so hard. I will send you to the hospital after this. You need some rest.” Namjoon had already made the decision whether she wanted or not.
“That’s right, Tang Girl.” Sang Wan Yi also joined the conversation.
“Mr Sang?” Lisa was shocked to see Sang Wan Yi here.
“Tang Girl, just call me Grandpa Sang.” Sang Wan Yi or Grandpa Sang smiled.
“Let’s go to the hospital first.” Namjoon said.
Facing three men who wanted to send her to the hospital, she gave up. She just followed the men’s instruction. She actually knew that she was tired recently but because of the business plan, she neglected her health.
Lisa was admitted to the Sang Hospital. Sang Hospital was owned by Grandpa Sang. Grandpa Sang took care of her in person. Grandpa Sang drew some of Lisa’s blood.
“I will get this blood sample to be tested to check whether you have another problem.” Grandpa Sang told Lisa when she gave a weird look to Grandpa Sang.
Grandpa Sang actually made out that lie. He just wanted to take some of Lisa’s blood to be tested for DNA Test. He made the decision when Grandpa Su had told that Lisa was adopted. She needed to be tested for DNA Test with Grandpa Mu.
Lisa just let Grandpa Sang to take her blood. She knew Grandpa Sang was a private doctor of her grandfather, Grandpa Mu. However, she did not think that Grandpa Sang knew about her face was similar to Grandpa Mu’s first wife.
After Grandpa Sang took her blood, Lisa let herself to sleep to enter the space. Only her soul entered since she was in the hospital. She did not want people to be shocked seeing her body missing out of nowhere. She left Aoi outside to guard her body.
“Master, are you okay?” Bo Ya asked worriedly.
“I’m okay. I am just tired. That’s all. Since I have already taken some rest, I’m fine now.” Lisa explained to Bo Ya.
“It’s good then. I was very worried when you fainted like that. I thought you will leave me alone like my previous master.” Bo Ya spoke as he held back his tears.
“My little cutie, I will try to take care of myself more, okay?” Lisa hugged Bo Ya. “I want to get some sleep right now since sleeping in the space will have more hours.”
“Let’s sleep together.” Bo Ya said happily.
“Sure.” Lisa nodded.
Bo Ya was happy since he could conquer his master for himself today since Aoi was outside the space.
....
Grandpa Sang went to Grandpa Mu’s office after he got Lisa’s blood sample. He wanted to tell Grandpa Mu this news. When the assistant announced Grandpa Sang’s arrival to Grandpa Mu, he gave his permission to let Grandpa Sang to enter his office.
“What are you doing here?” Grandpa Mu said while doing his work.
“Do you know who I met today?”Grandpa Sang asked.
“Do I need to install bodyguards beside you so they can tell me about your daily tasks?” Grandpa Mu asked sarcastically.
“Tsk... You still can not take a joke.” Grandpa Sang rolled his eye. Then he continued. “I meet that Tang Girl.”
“Who?” Grandpa Mu stopped doing his work. He knew who was his friend mentioning about, but he still wanted to confirm.
“I said I met Tang Girl who resembles your late wife.” Grandpa Sang said.
“Oh... So what?” That girl resembled his late wife but she did not have any connection with him.
“I heard the news that she was actually adopted by Jiang Man.” Grandpa Sang dropped the news.
“What?” Now Grandpa Mu wanted to pay full attention to Grandpa Sang.
“She has actually been adopted.” Grandpa Sang said again.
“Adopted?” Various things played in Grandpa Mu’s mind right now.
“Yes. I think you should do a DNA test with her.” Grandpa Sang suggested.
“But do you think she would do the test? From what I heard that Tang Jiang Man treat her like a princess. Even Tang Family love her very much. Do you think she just wants to do the test with me since her family now treat her very nicely?” Grandpa Mu posed a question.
“That is why I suggest you do the test secretly.” Grandpa Sang grinned.
“What do you mean by that?” Grandpa Mu frowned.
“Actually, she fainted in the restaurant where I went for lunch today.” Grandpa Sang tried to explain but...
“What??!! Did she faint? Why?” Grandpa Mu stood up. He was worried.
“That girl works very hard. She does not take a good rest so, her body has been tired. Her character is like someone that I know very well.” Grandpa Sang smiled.
“So, is she okay now?” Grandpa Mu asked.
“She is in the hospital. If she rests properly, she will be okay.” Grandpa Sang said. Then he continued. “After she had fainted, I talked with Su Jin. He was the one who told me that Tang Girl was adopted. So, when she was admitted to the hospital, I took the opportunity to draw some of her blood to have a DNA test with you.”
“So do it for me. I want the result as soon as possible.” Grandpa Mu said.
“Okay.” Grandpa Sang nodded.
.....
Lisa did not know that the plan was going in her favour. After she got enough sleep, she went outside. Aoi was still guarding the door for her.
Aoi was very happy when seeing his master woke up. “Do you get enough rest, master ?”
“Yes. Bo Ya can assure that.” Lisa chuckled. “Are you hungry?”
“No, that Namjoon guy already got some food for me. I’m still full.” Aoi told his master.
“Great. But I’m a little bit hungry.” Lisa put her hand on her stomach.
The door was opened. Namjoon entered.
“You are awake. But who are you talking to?” Namjoon asked while looking around. He heard that Lisa was talking to someone just now.
“Actually, I’m talking to Aoi.” Lisa pointed to Aoi. She was grinning. “I told him that I’m hungry.”
“You are talking to your dog? Lisa, sometimes you do act silly.” Namjoon brushed off the topic.
Lisa just smiled and looked at Aoi.
......
Two days resting made Lisa’s body wanting to move around. Grandpa Su wanted to call Grandpa Tang. Thank God, she heard about that and prevented Grandpa Su from doing so. She did not want Grandpa Tang to know her trip to this nation.
Namjoon settled all of the works that she had left during the two days resting. They already had found the perfect place to build the greenhouse. However, there was one problem appeared when they found out the place. The place already had its owner.
And the owner was Mu Group. Lisa frowned. This was not the time for her to counter the Mu Group yet. So, she asked Namjoon to be her representative to ask about the land. She wanted to buy the land directly from the Mu Group.
While on the Grandpa Sang and Grandpa Mu’s side, today was the time to see the result that the DNA Test which was tested a few days ago. As soon as the resulting test completed, Grandpa Sang took the file and headed to Grandpa Mu’s private villa.
Grandpa Mu did not want others to know about this. So, he requested Grandpa Sang to bring the result straight to his private villa. The staff had already been informed that Grandpa Sang would be here. So, the staff let him enter directly.
Grandpa Mu was already waiting for him in the study room. Grandpa Sang went straight to the study room.
“Here is the result. I still haven’t open it yet.” Grandpa Sang placed the file on the table.
“Open it.” Grandpa Mu said.
“Okay.” Grandpa Sang opened the file.
“There is 26.9% of the DNA matched. Meaning that Tang Girl is indeed your granddaughter.” Grandpa Sang explained the result.
Grandpa Mu did not react to the result. The words ‘indeed your granddaughter’ kept playing in his mind. No wonder she looked like his late wife. She was his granddaughter. Then his tears came out without even noticing it.
Grandpa Sang did not say anything about it. He understood his friend’s feeling. His friend loved his first son very much due to his late wife. So, it was possible that his friend would love this girl so much.
“Yuchen, come in.” Grandpa Mu called someone through his phone.
His personal assistant, Yuchen came into the study room.
“Yes, Sir?” Yuchen asked.
“Go and find out everything about a girl name Tang Lalisa. Everything including her past.” Grandpa Mu ordered.
“Yes, Sir. I will investigate the girl.” Yuchen bowed and went out.
“So, is she still in the hospital?” Grandpa Mu asked.
“No, she had already checked out yesterday.” Grandpa Sang informed him.
“Do you know why is she here, in Fanghai Nation?” Grandpa Mu asked again.
“No. But she appears a lot with my friend, Su Jin. Su Jin owns a herbs shop. That Tang Girl loves the herbs. She is probably here for that reason.” Grandpa Sang made an assumption.
“Okay. I need to be alone.” Grandpa Mu said.
“Alright, I will leave now. Take care of your health.” Grandpa Sang advised him to take care of his health.
“I know.” Grandpa Mu nodded.
Right after Grandpa Sang left the room, Grandpa Mu went to another door that connected the study room to another room.
The room was full of portraits of the young girl that had a sweet smile on her face. Grandpa Mu sat in front of the portrait and caressed the picture of that young girl.
“Yi Yi, I have finally found our granddaughter. She looks the same as you. She lives in another nation. What do you think her reaction will be when I tell her that I’m her real grandfather? Do you think she will believe me? Do you think she will accept me as her grandfather?” Grandpa Mu asked.
“I regret my decision at that time. I just should let Xiao Suk marry the woman whom he loved. Otherwise, he would not elope with that girl. Now he is still missing. And his daughter is adopted by another family.” Grandpa Mu sighed.
“If I did not reject that girl, they would still be with us. Yi Yi, you must be angry with me, right? Because I had rejected Xiao Suk’s beloved. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry about it.”
Grandpa Mu spent hours talking to his late wife.
....
“Dad, I want to marry this girl.” Mu Jongsuk said one evening.
He brought a young girl together with him. That girl seemed to wear a veil that covered her face. Only her eyes could be seen. She only kept herself shut up.
“Xiao Suk, you are my heir. You should know that your marriage partner should be from another well-known family.” Grandpa Mu said strongly.
“Dad, I just want to marry the woman beside me here.” Mu Jongsuk looked up to Grandpa Mu.
“MU JONGSUK!!! Don’t challenge my patience.” Grandpa Mu shouted.
“Dad, I love her.” Mu Jongsuk ignored his father’s shout.
“If you marry her, I will remove you as my heir.” Grandpa Mu gave his warning.
The door was opened. Other family members entered.
“Oh, what do we have here?” Mu Li Zei sneered.
“It is the Big Brother Suk.” Mu Zi Lin said.
“But who is the babe beside you, big Brother Suk?” Mu Li Zei asked.
“Yeah, you should tell us, Big Brother Suk.” Mu Zi Lin licked his lips showing the lustful expression. He thought that the girl besides his brother had a really nice body even though she covered her face.
“Shut up, two of you!!!” Grandpa Mu shouted to his other two sons.
Mu Li Zei and Mu Zi Lin shut up their mouth. They knew their father was currently in the rage. They knew it was because of Jongsuk. They were delighted when seeing their father became angry with him. It was because their father only expected from Mu Jongsuk.
Their father always put Mu Jongsuk first before them. It made them felt unhappy about that. Their father did not feel angry whether Mu Jongsuk did right or wrong. This time, Mu Jongsuk could not escape their father’s rage made them so happy to witness that.
“Dad, I want to marry whether you agree or not.” Mu Jongsuk said that sentence, pulled the woman’s hand and walked away.
“If you step out from this house, you can expect nothing more from Mu Family.” Grandpa Mu said out of rage.
Mu Jongsuk paused a little moment. Then he started walking away again without looking back. He was already determined to marry the woman. He would not hesitate to leave the Mu Family for her.
