The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife

134.

Recently, Soobin’s mother had hardened her heart and taught her husband a lesson. The man who used to be impatient and cold towards her was now following her like a dog. However, Soobin’s mother lost all interest to her husband. She had just divorced him a few days ago. After dividing up her assets, her wealth had multiplied.

Mei had invited her to this tea party because she knew that Soobin’s mother was rich but knew nothing about investment. Soobin’s mother had never seen such a scene before. She could not help but feel uneasy and cowered for a moment.

“Mrs. Choi is just a straightforward person. You guys don’t have to overreact.” Lisa comforted Mrs. Choi by patting her back. Lisa said coldly. “Besides, the amount of money invested is not small. Money doesn’t grow on tree. It’s always right to be cautious. Of course, not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Not everyone could spend millions of dollars without hesitation like all of you.”

As she said this, Lisa smiled. “It’s not just Mrs. Choi, I also have to think carefully before investing. Otherwise, I’ll lose a lot of my money if things go wrong.”

When she said this, the others looked a little embarrassed. Their money did not come from a genie. If the investment went wrong, they would suffer loss as well. These ladies attending the tea party seemed to be living a rich and comfortable life on the surface. However, if that was the case, they wouldn’t try every means to look for investment projects and want to earn more money.

No matter what Lisa’s family background was, she was now Mrs. Jeon, and the Jeon family was a top-tier wealthy family. Now that Lisa had said so, they didn’t dare to say anything to refute her when she said that they needed to carefully consider the investment projects.

After a moment of silence, Mei felt even more unhappy, she forced a smile and tried to smooth things over. “It’s what we should do. Everyone is here with a proposal. Real gold is not afraid of fire. If we carefully analyze it, we will definitely make money.” With that said, she led everyone inside. “Let’s go in and talk.”

After those disdainful gazes from those noblewomen were all gone. Soobin’s mother let out a long breath, her face was filled with gratitude. “Miss Lee, thank you so much.” She Hung sighed, “Sigh, I’ve worked hard with my ex-husband all my life. Even if I’m rich, I can’t compare to these rich ladies. They all look down on me. The gazes they cast on me are like knives. It scared me so much that I don’t even dare to breathe loudly.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? We’re all human. It’s not like you have anything to ask of them.” Lisa liked Soobin’s mother’s straightforwardness and truthfulness very much. She smiled and said, “There’s no need to be afraid of them.”

“You’re right!” Soobin’s mother immediately beamed with joy, she clapped her hands and praised, “You’re really smart! Every time I talk to you, I feel enlightened. Oh right, I divorced my cheating husband. For old time’s sake, I didn’t ask him to leave the house empty-handed. I gave him two houses and the company also gave it to him.”

Soobin’s mother spoke in a relaxed manner, but there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes. “Miss Lee, don’t call me Mrs. Choi anymore. My surname is Jung, Jung Eunha.”

“Miss Jung,” Lisa nodded slightly and said gently, “Congratulations on finally breaking free and enjoying a better life.”

Eunha couldn’t help but laugh, but she also felt a little relaxed. “Indeed.”

The two of them were at the end of the line. They walked around the corner and entered the hall. They saw a fat man in a suit blocking their way.

“Baekhyun, you brought your lousy script to look for investment again?”

The man called Baekhyun was in his thirties. He looked refined and handsome. His eyelashes were long and narrow, which made his eyes look deep. Baekhyun had obviously tidied himself for this occasion, but one could still see some dispirited look in his eyes. He was wearing a suit that did not fit him, making him look even more down and out.

Baekhyun gave a wry smile. “Wu Yu, you’re here too.”

Wu Yu laughed and held a cigar in his hand, he said slowly, “I have a new show that’s about to start filming. I came here to look for some investors. Fortunately, a wife has discerning eyes and has already planned to invest five million for me.” Wu Yu was proud in his heart, he looked down at his old classmate and said, “What about you? Did you get any investment?”

Seeing Baekhyun shake his head, Wu Yu patted his shoulder and said, “Brother, we are from the same school after all. We even slept in the same dormitory. To tell you the truth, the things you are filming now are no longer popular. If it were me, I’ll stop tormenting myself. You might as well come to my production team. It’s hard to say about other positions but being a handyman can still make a living!” His words were full of pity, but he was humiliating Baekhyun.
