"It is... I thought you were high and mighty and didn't want to live with me, so you ran off to hang out with your cousins. Why? Did they get sick of you, so you had to come home?"

"You... your words are really overwhelming..." Mr. Jeon felt like his wife's vicious tongue had hurt too many people.

"I've always been like this, you've known me for so long... You're funny, why are you pretending to be a gentleman with me now?"

Upon seeing their unhappy conversation, Tzuyu immediately smiled. "Uncle, auntie, dinner's ready. I made shrimp dumplings, they're delicious."

"Tzuyu, you're the best..." Mrs. Jeon beamed as she strutted downstairs.

Mr. Jeon didn't say anything else. After the maid took his luggage upstairs, the three of them sat down in the dining room.

"You're not leaving the country anymore, right, Tzuyu?" Mr. Jeon asked.

"No, I'm not leaving."

"Have you thought about what you want to do? Do you want to come and work at JC?" Mr. Jeon was very close to Mayor Han, so he treated Tzuyu politely.

"That's a good idea, you can go help Kook," Mrs. Jeon interjected.

"Thank you for the kind offer... but I can't. I didn't study finance, I'm a painter, so I won't be of much help to him. I plan to open up a high-end art school and teach children how to draw and paint, it'll be a good way to pass time."

"Tzuyu, you're a really warm-hearted child..." Mrs. Jeon was close to being infatuated by Tzuyu.

She praised everything Tzuyu said.

Mr. Jeon nodded as well. "That's a good idea. After all, you've been studying art for years, so you're putting that knowledge into use. Your father will be proud of you."

"Yeah, dad's really supportive of my decision, and he has been helping me look for a place to rent."

"Hey, have you called Kook? Ask him If he wants to come back for dinner."

"I shouldn't... he usually has dinner with Lisa."

Ever since her awkward encounter with Lisa last time when she went to drop food off for Jungkook, she had had some misgivings.

She also stopped looking for Jungkook...

This was because she realized that Lisa wasn't an easy opponent.

"What are you scared of, huh? So what if Lisa's with him, who cares... Is she the sun? Does the world have to revolve around her? Take out your phone... You, call him and tell him that you're back, our son will come back for sure," Mrs. Jeon said as she pointed at Mr. Jeon domineeringly...

"I'm a little tired, let's call them over another day."

"No, you have to call now, and... don't tell Lisa to come; I get pissed off whenever I see her."

Ever since she fell down outside Lisa's old house, Mrs. Jeon detested her even more.

She treated Lisa like her mortal enemy, a prick in her eye...

"You're just making our son's life harder."

"Isn't he doing the same thing to me? He knows how much I hate her... but he still married her to piss me off... Didn't I tell you? Her stupid family caused my injuries this time... Thank god I'm healthy, or else I would've died. Do you know how vicious Lisa was? She didn't even help me up when I fell down and even made fun of me... Thank god Tzuyu arrived on time to take me to the hospital. I will hate that little bitch forever," Mrs. Jeon said nonstop.
