Shen Jing yanked Cheng Yeri's sleeve and signaled with her eyes to stop talking.

"Lili ah, what do you think..."

Before Shen Jing could finish speaking, three middle-aged women came over with their adult children in tow.

The group of people all started talking at once to introduce themselves to Ye Lisa.

"Lili ah, I'm your second aunt. Your dad's younger brother's wife. I gave you a red envelope last year!" Second aunt pulled forward her son, who was taller than her. "This is my son, Ye Lin. You guys used to love playing together when you were kids. You guys frequently placed house together. Do you remember that?"

"I'm little aunt, your dad's younger sister. Do you remember me? You used to love to cling to little aunt when you were a kid. But over ten years went by in a flash. I've been away at work until now. You probably already forgot me."

"Lili, I'm your aunt from your mom's side. Let aunty see your belly."

"She's only a month pregnant. What could you possibly see?" Second aunt sat down next to Ye Lisa and intimately held her hand. "Lili ah, second aunt has been pregnant before. Let me tell you that the first trimester of pregnancy is especially important. After all, the baby hasn't taken form yet. You have to take good care of yourself and the baby."

"With Jungkook around, Lili will be fine."

"I could tell right away that Jungkook is the doting type. Look at Lili's clothing and jewelry. He's definitely very thoughtful!"

The three women went on and on. If they weren't complimenting Ye Lisa's clothing, they were guessing the price of her necklace. In short, they envied her for marrying a good man.

"Even back then, I knew that Lili was a clever and honest child. Heaven surely wouldn't treat her badly, and I was right. She married into a good family. What good fortune."

"And she's pregnant now. Once the child is born, that's when she'll really be enjoying the good life."

"Ji Eun ah, do you have a boyfriend? Your younger sister is already married and pregnant. Why isn't anything happening with you? I would have thought you would have gotten married before your younger sister. Who would have thought Lili would get there before you?

"That's what I used to think too. Ji Eun ah, you have to work harder. Is there any young fellow that you like? If you don't, second aunt can introduce you to some guys."

Ye Ji Eun, who had been ignored until now, could only put up an unnatural-looking smile. Her voice sounded bleak when she answered, "Thank you, second aunt. You don't need to worry about me. I have my own plans."

"What do you mean you have your own plans? You're not young anymore! You're at the age when you should be finding a husband. Don't delay and waste your youth. Once all the good men have been taken, it'll be too late for you and you'll be left feeling anxious."

"Yeah, Ji Eun, don't have unreasonably high standards. Don't be picky. If you find a guy, just settle if he's good enough. Not everyone can have Lili's good fortune in marrying a good man."

Ye Ji Eun looked at her relatives and fake smiled.

This time last year, these same relatives had told her to not rush in getting married. They had said with her excellent qualifications, she should take her time in choosing a partner for marriage and not be careless about it. But now, they were laying a pile of praises at Ye Lisa's feet while telling her to not be picky.

Hadn't they only changed their tune because Ye Lisa's husband is Jungkook?

They were just fickle snobs.

If this had happened in the past, Ye Ji Eun would have erupted in anger.

But now, she could only endure.
