“What’s there to be ashamed of if I didn’t graduate from high school?” Lisa looked surprised. “Did the country dictate that people who didn’t graduate from high school can’t go out? Or are you saying I can’t live without that diploma?”
The professor who asked the question earlier looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Lisa apologetically and said, “Indeed, no matter whether you have a diploma or not, as long as you live your life honestly, it’s the same no matter what you do.”
“A diploma can not prove anything,” Xu Jinhe nodded in agreement. “The fact that Mrs. Jeon does not have a high school diploma further emphasizes that she is extremely talented. I wonder if you have any plans to return to school, Mrs. Jeon?” His gaze was gentle, and he looked at Lisa with eyes full of appreciation for talented individuals.
Lisa had always admired these people who focused on academic research. When she heard this, she did not hide anything. She nodded and said, “Previously, I had to halt my studies because of some family matters. Now, I’m getting ready for exams and preparing for next year’s College Entrance Examination.”
“When the time comes, you should come to our school.” When he heard this, the smile on Xu Jinhe’s face grew even wider. “In the future, you can learn from me. Isn’t it just right to become my student?”

“Sigh, Old Xu, you’re so self-centered. There’s still half a year before the college entrance exam, and you’re already starting to snatch people away?” The other professors in the elevator were instantly disgruntled. One after another, they said, “That’s not the only way, Mrs. Jeon. Our school isn’t bad either. When the time comes, come to our school. I’ll make an exception and bring you along to follow the program.”
Once these words were said, the other professors also volunteered one after another. Lisa became the topic of conversation. Everyone was fighting over her. Yeri was so angry that she gritted her teeth. There was a moment of malevolence in Yeri’s expression, then she couldn’t help but say, “She hasn’t even sat for the college entrance exam yet. What’s the point of saying all this? Some people fight all day when they’re in school. Don’t be so stupid that you can’t even get into a specialized school. You’d become a laughingstock!”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Lisa’s expression was the same as usual as she said calmly, “I’ll go to whatever school I can get into with whatever results I get. You don’t have to meddle in other people’s business.”
“You! Other than your sharp tongue, what else can you do?!” Shen Sisi said angrily, “When the college entrance exam results are out next year, Mrs. Jeon of the Jeon Corporation will only have a pitiful few points. It would be so embarrassing!”
“My wife only wants to study, why would it be embarrassing? Ji Corporation will never think that Mrs. Jeon has embarrassed us.” Jungkook stood tall and straight, as cold and lofty as a mountain. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, “The Jeon Corporation will only ever be proud of Mrs. Jeon. Most importantly…” his gaze was cold, and his dark eyes exuded pressure. He continued, “I believe in my wife’s abilities. As long as she wants to, which school can she not get into?”
“You’re right,” Xu Jinhe nodded in agreement. “Mrs. Jeon is extremely talented. She should be my student.”
“Dream on!” the other professors laughed and teased.
This was the first time Yeri faced Jungkook’s gaze. Under the immense pressure, she could not help but turn pale. Even her legs and stomach felt weak. Then, jealousy swallowed her heart. Why? Why did Lisa, who grew up in the slums and only knew how to fight; who even her biological father did not want; who could only be her substitute and marry into the Jeon family… Why did so many people praise her! Why did she have the strong, handsome, and perfect love of a man like Jeon Jungkook?
All of this should have been hers!
As she was worried about Sehun beside her, even though Yeri tried her best to hide her expression, her eyes could not help but reveal her dissatisfaction.
The elevator rang and they arrived at the restaurant. Sehun took Yeri out of the elevator first. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around. He said, “CEO Jeon, let’s meet in the business world. I will definitely carry out the development of the east side of the city. I will not give in!”
“Then you must work harder, Second Master Kim,” Jungkook looked at him coldly. He said meaningfully, “If you only spend your time and energy on such a woman, you won’t be able to beat me.” After he finished speaking, he did not want to give Yeri and Sehun another look. He led Lisa and the others into the private room, leaving Sehun with a dark expression and Yeri who felt deeply humiliated.
Was Jungkook blind? He only knew how to protect Lisa who was nothing but a pretty airhead! Yeri bit her lip with hatred. She hooked Sehun’s arm and stomped her feet. She said, “Sehun, you must defeat them and teach them a lesson!”
“Teach who a lesson?” Sehun flung his hand away abruptly and grabbed her neck with an angry expression. “Lee Yeri, do you think I’m an id*ot? You dare to flirt with Jeon Jungkook in front of me?”
