The Villain's Mother

041

Even if other people saw that Ruan Lisa had the intention of turning over a new leaf and wanting to be a good mother now, Song Jungkook didn't have his hopes up. Habit was a terrifying thing, and it was difficult to change Song Jungkook's impression of Ruan Lisa. Just like how Ruan Lisa wanted to be a plastic couple with Song Jungkook, he had similar feelings too. He had already drawn a line between them in the past four years. Strictly speaking, apart from having a child together and being married in the eyes of the law, they might as well be two strangers.

One of Song Jungkook's close college friends was getting married soon, and it was customary to invite your friends out for a meal before the wedding in this setting.

Even though his friend had reminded him to bring his wife, Song Jungkook didn't think about asking Ruan Lisa to come to this gathering at all.

At the end of the work day, Li Jihyo knocked on his office's door. Hearing his acknowledgement, she pushed open the door and walked in. Smilingly, she asked, "CEO Song, can I catch a ride with you today? My older brother suggested this."

Song Jungkook's close college friend was Li Jihyo's older brother, so it was only natural for her to attend this gathering.

"Okay." Song Jungkook nodded.

He would definitely be drinking today, so Song Jungkook called a driver.

The two of them left the office at the same time, and a company's front desk was always a place of gossip. Seeing their boss and a new employee leaving together, the two employees stationed at the front desk and another female employee immediately got together to discuss.

"She's a newcomer in the Finance Department, right? I've seen her knock on CEO Song's door a few times. She can't be having improper thoughts about CEO Song, right?"

"Do you even have to ask? Of course, the answer is yes. In my opinion, even if CEO Song is married, there are still many people with their eyes on him. He started building up a big company at a young age, and his company is publicly traded now. He's handsome. He's not balding and doesn't have a beer belly."

"I don't care. I think it's a bad idea to have ideas about a married man. Although I haven't seen the rumoured Mrs. Song, I've heard the older employees say that CEO Song's wife looks like a celestial maiden. And, they have a cute son too. CEO Song wouldn't easily divorce his wife. Rich men never divorce their wives. At best, she would only be his mistress. Tsk."

One of the front desk employees stroked her chin. "I don't think CEO Song is that type of man. If he really wants to have a wife at home and a mistress outside, he would have gotten together with Amy from the Sales Department. She's prettier and more capable than the one from the Finance Department."

"Actually, rather than compare who can capture CEO Song, I'm more curious about how beautiful his wife is."

Companies were never short on speculation and gossip.

Li Jihyo calmly followed Song Jungkook to the parking lot. She adjusted her clothes to cause a lovely, fresh and elegant fragrance to waft out.

Li Jihyo had originally thought Song Jungkook would sit in the backseat with her.

To her surprise, when they reached the car, he opened the front passenger seat for himself and told her, "Sit in the back."

Li Jihyo froze in surprise for a moment before smiling and nodding.

Song Jungkook's driver was an honest and loyal middle-aged man. He was a quiet person. Seeing that there was a woman with the CEO, he was even less likely to speak. He focused on driving.

Li Jihyo placed her hands on her knees and mustered up her courage to ask, "CEO Song, is your wife not coming with us?"

Song Jungkook rarely brought his wife to meet his friends. Even Li Jihyo's older brother, who was Song Jungkook's good friend, had only seen his friend's wife at the wedding and Little Wang's first month birthday. Li Jihyo had heard from her older brother that Song Jungkook's wife's beauty was on another level from other people.

Li Jihyo thought her older brother was exaggerating. If she was truly that beautiful, why did she rarely go out with Song Jungkook? Was it because she was unwilling to go out or because Song Jungkook didn't want to bring her?
