Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

655.Liking Towards Haunted Apartments

The middle-aged man named Yu became especially unhappy. "It's her business whether or not she wants to buy it. How is it related to a passer-by like you?"

"I'm a passer-by?" Despite his words, Nancy did not mind this turn of events very much. It was a good sign that Lisa enjoyed wasting money.

She bought a haunted apartment the moment she received money from those elders in the Jeon family. People had died one after another in this apartment. Was Lisa hoping that the three Jeon elders would die earlier?

Mingyu was still immersed in his act of being a good person. "Lisa, was there a need to rush into signing a contract by the roadside?"

"Um... I'm so sorry." The middle-aged man named Yu spoke up again. "I was nearby coincidentally and I heard from Jaebeom that someone was interested in this haunted... this house. I am extremely busy during this time so I had no choice but to make Miss Lee sign the contract here."

Lisa transferred the full payment to the property agent's company's account. She then accompanied the middle-aged and Jaebeom to transfer the ownership of the apartment.

Nancy took in their rear view and said to Mingyu in confusion, "Brother, why did Lisa buy this haunted apartment? She has the Yu Ting Villa, a luxurious place, to live in. There's no way she'll use this apartment."

Mingyu deliberated over this. "A haunted apartment in Mian Lan North District... Lisa's birth mother is named Lee Lilan. She was murdered at the Lee home by Lee Liyin. Perhaps, Lisa purchased this apartment because it also has the word 'Lan' in its name?"

"I bet she must have gone insane after spending seven years with her mother's corpse and has taken a liking to haunted apartments." Nancy added.

"That's also a possibility."

...

That night, in the Jeon family's old mansion, only Grandfather Jeon Zhongshan, Huang Zhishu, Mingyu and Nancy were present for dinner.

Jungkook was busy with work and was working overtime at the office. He did not intend to return for dinner.

Nancy took in the table of sumptuous dishes. She was starving to the point where her stomach was nearly caving in. However, she did not dare to move her chopsticks before the Jeon family's elder gave his word.

"Grandfather, can we eat now?" Mingyu was also hungry.

"Lisa didn't say that she won't be home for dinner. Let's wait for a while longer," Jeon Chongshan instructed sternly.

It seemed like Lisa was rather important to this old man. That was also a good thing. Mingyu narrowed his eyes. "Lisa will soon become a member of our family. It's true that we should wait for her."

Nancy was extremely angered by the old man's unfair treatment.

She had been in the Jeon family for a long time, but never received his favour.

In comparison, an outsider was being doted on even before she properly entered the family.

What she did not know was that it was the ambition that her family had failed to hide that actually provoked the Jeon family's ire. If it wasn't for the late Jeon Pu, their family of three would already have lost their positions.

Five minutes later, Lisa stepped into the villa. She greeted Jeon Chongshan with a smile. "Grandfather."

"Good. Come over and sit." Jeon Chongshan pointed at the seat he had deliberately left open for her.

"Miss Lee sure is easily liked. Our entire family has been waiting for you." Nancy smiled sweetly.

Lisa glanced indifferently at her. "Nancy, your words are interesting. If you wish to mock me for putting on airs and making you guys wait, you can speak directly. You must be the only person who tries so hard to mock people imperceptibly. Besides, I didn't even ask your family of three to wait."

She then tugged on Jeon Chongshan's arm sweetly. "I'm only a family with you, Grandfather."

Nancy's body was covered in goosebumps from her act.

However, Jeon Chongshan thoroughly enjoyed Lisa's behaviour.

He rubbed his beard happily. "Yes, yes. Lisa, you must be hungry. Dig in."
