Avoiding The Male Lead-1

24

Weng Jennie was treated like a princess since childhood. Later on, she started her own entertainment company and even won the title of Film Empress numerous times. Who wouldn’t treat her like a queen? Aside from the female protagonist who clashed with her, no one else had a chance of going against Weng Jennie except for her son. That was why she got into trouble when trying to subdue the female protagonist.

Anyways, in Xin Lisa’s opinion, there would always be disagreements between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Since ancient times, there didn’t have to be a good reason for someone to hate another.

Xin Lisa’s thoughts began to wander. ‘When did Weng Jennie gradually begin to accept the female protagonist?’ It seems to be that year after her son’s marriage, when Sheng Eunha gave birth to a son. Since then, their friendship gradually began to develop.

While in a daze, Xin Lisa had no idea that Jeon Jungkook glanced at her after hearing his mother’s question. Naturally, he noticed that her door was still half-open.

When he entered his apartment earlier, he heard her leave the apartment. How could she be back now? Perhaps she left to retrieve her keys before returning.

Jeon Jungkook was surprised that this girl would still trouble herself and run back and forth diligently in the middle of the night.

But thinking about it, the fact that she chases him diligently was one thing she was good at doing. 

Fearing that his mom might get the wrong idea, he unexpectedly spoke up and explained: “Mom, I don’t know her.” The implication behind his words was to avoid gossip and prying any further.

Weng Jennie stared at him in disbelief.

Just now, he was clearly sneaking a glance at that girl, don’t think that she didn’t miss it! Getting this boy’s attention was no easy feat! 

When Wen Jennie looked at Xin Lisa once again, the girl nodded timidly in affirmation of Jeon Jungkook’s claim. Afterwards, Xin Lisa said that she had to go, then smiled at the mom before quickly retreating into her room.

Weng Jennie noticed that the young girl had a clean face without any thick makeup, but was still quite a beauty. She wanted to ask a question or two, but never expected the girl to run away as if she was being chased by frightening beasts.

Weng Jennie was familiar with her son’s way of speaking and mannerism since he was a child. She turned to her son and asked, “Do you know her?”

Jeon Jungkook impatiently replied, “I just told you earlier.”

Weng Jennie laughed and commented jokingly, “It’s rare for a girl to not be swayed by your appearance when she sees you. She didn’t seem to put you in her sights at all, does she?” How can two people claim to not know each other when the truth is already so obvious?

After saying so, she was amused to see that her son’s face seemed somewhat gloomy.

‘Hmph, instead of faking, why don’t you just admit it!’

After seeing Weng Jennie off, Jeon Jungkook stood by his door while thoughtfully looking at his neighbor’s closed door. He was considering when to carry out his plan to move out of this apartment.

To his surprise, however, before he could make his move, his neighbor already made plans to move out quickly.

That weekend, while Jeon Jungkook had a break, he suddenly heard loud ‘ping ping pang pang’ noises next door along with loud voices. Although he couldn’t hear the specifics of what was said, it was obvious that there were several people next door.

Feeling very angry, Jeon Jungkook changed into his casual clothes and opened the door, his expression dark and cloudy.

Xin Lisa, who wore black jeans, shirt and a red jacket, was shaking her head while directing a group of large men in work clothes to move her furniture. Upon seeing this,  Jeon Jungkook couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Xin Lisa  heard a door behind her open, but just as she was about to turn around in curiosity, something caught her attention and she continued to direct her men, “Be careful, careful. Go left, go left again, okay….”

Jeon Jung kook, who was completely ignored, deepened his gaze. “Xin Lisa, what’s the meaning of this?
