MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 86

Exceedingly agitated, Old Madam Jeon almost choked to death right there and then. She kept coughing for a while until her masseuse gave her a careful rub on the back.

Her aged face was a bloated red.

"You....woman!"

Lisa blinked innocently as she watched her react. "Isn't the Jeon family supposed to be rich? I'm only asking for a hundred million. What, why you would go bankrupt? Could it be that the Jeon family was just a front? Don't come looking for me if you couldn't afford that. I'm busy, so remember to make an appointment next time"

With that, Lisa turned to leave.

However, Old madam Jeon chuckled coldly. "Stop right there!"

Lisa remained where she was without looking back, waiting for her to talk.

Old Madam Jeon paused for a moment before gesturing for Song Kang to take out a cheque.

After the butler handed it to her, Old Madam Jeon started to write down a long line of zeroes on the check with her shaking hand.

She passed it to Kang, who handed it to Lisa. "Here's a hundred million, Miss Lisa. Please stick to the agreement"

"Agreement?" Lisa played dumb. "What agreement?"

"You've got your money. Now return my great-grandson!"

"Oh, my. I'm sorry, but I never said that I'm giving you my son" Lisa's eyes looked well-meaning and harmless. "All I wanted is money, and never once did I say that I'm giving you my son. Have you gone senile, Old woman?"

With that, Lisa strode off.

Old Madam Jeon was so enraged she almost passed out. Her face went pale white and utterly angry.

"Song Kang, tell Jungkook what happened!"

She must let him know how gold-digging that woman he loved was!

****

Jungkook did not say a thing when Song Kang reported everything as it happened, and hung up with flat 'got it'

Meanwhile, when Lisa returned to her office, the little one hurriedly ran to her and stood on tip-toe to hand her a hamburger.

"Hurry up, Mommy! I saved it for you!"

Lisa was almost moved a tears; she gave him a firm peck on his cheek.

"Good boy. I'm off to do something; I'll be back soon"

The little one pouted. "Okay. Hurry up, Mommy, it won't be tasty if it's cold"

Then, Lisa went to Jungkook's office with considerable vigor.

He was reading through some documents, and his aloof gaze reflected her cold face.

Lisa stormed to his desk and slammed the cheque on it in front of him.

"Here's a hundred million. Consider it damages for sleeping with you four years ago! Don't bother me ever again!"

With that, she turned and stormed off.

Jungkook's face grew ever colder as he stared at the zeroes on the cheque. Irritated, the corner of his eyes was twitching as he gritted his teeth, squeezing out a word that loses out in elegance.

"Shit!"

In his twenty-eight years alive, he was actually being chased off by a woman with money.

It was too embarrassing!

Back in her office, Lisa started to stuff herself with hamburger, feeling evermore pleasant.

She didn't know what Jungkook was feeling, but it was fine as long as she was happy.

The little one handed her a glass of water. "Mommy, slow down. Don't choke"

Lisa gathered him into arms and gave him kisses here and there lovingly.

No matter how much she would be paid, there was no way she is giving her adorable, obedient genius son to that old woman!

That's all there was to it.

When work was finished in the evening, Jisoo packed up and left the office yawning. "Lili" She said, "I really wanted to go back and sleep with you and Soobin"

"A peasant like me shouldn't stay with you, Rich Madam Kim" Lisa teased.

"Lili, you wouldn't know!" Jisoo complained tearfully. "The man upstairs is a gym coach, and he would always be doing the deed with his wife midnight, every night. I'm going crazy! I might die if this continues!"

Lisa laughed out loud. "Well, you would definitely make the headlines as [The woman who was tormented to death by being single"]

Jisoo wrung her hand. "Lili boo-hoo, I shouldn't have left you because of money....I was wrong!"

"Alright, Rich Madam Kim, hurry up and go home" Lisa replied, not giving face at all. "You just might get together with some world wide handsome someday"

Jisoo left with a long face.

The little one clenched Lisa's hand then unhappily. "Mommy.... Are you really leaving Daddy?"

Lisa was left stunned for a moment, but she lowered herself and told him seriously, "Mommy can't....accept him at the moment. we didn't see each other for four years, that's why....you should...."

"Okay, Mommy~"

The little one interrupted and grinned. "I shouldn't want Daddy and not Mommy. I don't understand adults, but I know Mommy will never leave me....So, if I have to choose, Mommy, I'll only want Mommy and not Daddy!"

He was only four, and yet he could say something like that.

Lisa felt her lose become watery, her tears failing as she pulled him into her arms.

She suddenly felt that she was quite selfish to deny her son a complete family just because she couldn't accept Jungkook.

She rubbed off her tears and picked him up. "Let's go home baby"

However, she ran into Mingyu the moment she got down from the stairs.

There were a variety of colors on his face he had clearly been given a beating.

"Lili...."

He approached her, but his eyes bulged in shock at the child in her arms just as he was about to speak.

"That boy....he....he...."

"If you have something to say , say it" Lisa said coldly.

'And shut up if you don't'

Mingyu's eyes looked tearful and melancholic. "Lili....My father he's...."

'Can you stop stuttering? How annoying!'

Kim Woo-bin, Kim Mingyu's father had been nice to Lisa in her younger days, treating others with kindness and carefreeness without the arrogance of the rich.

Mingyu did not have a mother, and was raised by Woo-bin's himself alone.

Lisa was disgusted by and even hated Kim Mingyu, but she felt gratitude and respect towards Woo-bin.

To Lisa, he was much better than Lee Dongwook, her own father.

Still, why would such a nice person have a scumbag son!

Kim Mingyu lowered his head and sighed he sounded vaguely hurt. "We just found out my father has late-stage lung cancer...."

"What?!" Lisa was stunned.

Kim Mingyu rubbed away the tears at the corner of his eyes. "He wants to see you before he dies. Would you come with me?"

"Which hospital? Take me there!"

Without taking anything else, Lisa was ready to rush to the carpark and drive off.

Mingyu stood in her way. "Take my car. It would save time"

He had rented a Bentley before he came purposefully, and it would be a waste of money if she didn't see it.

Thinking that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her, Lisa nodded.
