The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife

72.Another Apology

“Are you despising me? Why don’t you take a look at President Jeon and his wife?” Taehyun muttered and looked at Lisa’s back enviously. He said unhappily, “Look at Hyunjin’s sister-in-law!”

Hyunjin and Taehyun were on the same starting line, and he was even a little better than Hyunjin in everything. But now, Hyunjin was always boasting that he had a great
sister-in-law.

What an annoying brat!

Jackson smacked his lips. He was also envious of Jungkook. Jungkook could not walk, yet Jungkook could marry such a beautiful wife. Jackson wondered why he was not as lucky as
Jungkook.

Today might be the day Lisa would receive plenty of gifts. Jackson and Taehyun had sent gifts earlier, and after that, Aunt Jeon came with the Bae family’s siblings.

Chanyeol purposely chose the time when everyone had arrived to attend the banquet. He stopped Lisa and said, “Hello, cousin sister-in-law. Nice to meet you. I’m Bae Chanyeol.”

Lisa knew him. He was the temporary CEO of the Jeon Corporation.

“I was busy a few days ago. I only heard the news yesterday about Irene misbehaving at Old Master Kim's banquet,” Chanyeol smiled bitterly.

He looked like an older brother who had a headache because his younger sister was not sensible. He apologized, “We lost our father at a young age. Mother and I couldn’t help but spoil my younger sister a little. She became straightforward and insensible. After I found out, I scolded her. Now she knows her mistake, and she came to apologize to you today.”

Chanyeol lowered his voice deliberately. The people around him heard him. They looked at him with a hint of admiration. Although the business world was a place where benefits were the priority, it was always pleasant to work with a person with a good character. There was no need to worry about being stabbed in the back.

“I know Irene did something wrong. Mother favors my younger sister, so you may inevitably have a bad impression of my mother. It’s our fault as an elder for not teaching Irene well,” Chanyeol had a pair of beautiful eyes. His eyes were extraordinary. They looked like a combination of peach blossom eyes and Phoenix eyes. His long eyelashes were thick, and his pupils were of light color. When he looked at others, his gaze was affectionate.

“I’m here to apologize. May I know where Jungkook and Jieun are? Irene and I want to apologize to them in person to show our sincerity,” Chanyeol looked at Lisa sincerely.

“I see,” Lisa looked at him and smiled, “we’re a family. There’s no need to be so serious over such a trivial matter.”

Chanyeol’s mother, Jeon Mei, was reluctant to apologize, but Chanyeol had scolded her. When she spoke, she had a smile on her face. “I was also muddle-headed at the time. I only cared about my child and scolded you before understanding the situation clearly. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

As an elder, she had already lowered herself and apologized. If Lisa continued to blame Mei for it, the others might think Lisa was a mean woman.

“Auntie, there is no need to apologize. Everything is forgiven and forgotten,” Lisa casually glanced at Irene, who had her head lowered. Irene gritted her teeth and felt everyone’s gaze pierce her body like a knife, making her feel ashamed.

It was all because of Lisa and Jieun. She would not have to face this embarrassment if it were not because of those b*tches. Her eyes were red because of hatred as she cursed Lisa and Jieun.

Seeing that Irene did not speak for a long time, Chanyeol whispered, “Irene.”

Mei’s face froze, and she hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “This girl is embarrassed.”After saying that, she pulled Irene’s skirt and gave her a look. She pretended to scold her, “You don’t even greet your cousin-in-law when you see her? Is this how I usually educate you?”

Irene, who hated Lisa, finally calmed down slightly. She knew that she had to do as her brother asked. If she messed up, her brother would not let her off.

Chanyeol was the pillar of support in the family. All the good life she had now came from Chanyeol, so she decided not to anger her brother.

Moreover…

She only needed to hold back her anger for a while. They would be able to cheat everything from Lisa soon. When the Jeon Corporation was under their control, she would chase Lisa out of the Jeon family. She wanted Lisa to go back to the slums and live in poverty. With that in mind, the hatred in Irene’s heart subsided slightly.

“Cousin-in-law, I’ve realized my mistake,” Afraid that her eyes would reveal the hatred she felt, Irene, lowered her head. She pretended to sob as she spoke, “I am sorry
I did not protect IU back then. I want to apologize to IU today.”
