After the meal, the tables in the hall were removed. Everyone sat in the hall and listened to the Old Madam's lecture.

Originally, she had wanted to probe the Wei family's background, but she did not expect that the Wei family had so many rules.

In her previous life, when Lisa was a princess, she had more rules than she did now. However, she had been used to wandering around the manor these few days, and the Wei family did not have much relation to her, so Lisa felt very bored. She took advantage of Old Madam Wei's intermission and left the hall.

Under the light of the night, the garden outside revealed a hazy beauty. Lisa walked around the corridor. The fresh air in the courtyard washed away the boredom in her heart.

"You're Xia Lalisa? Third Sister's daughter?" An old voice suddenly came from behind.

Lisa turned around and saw Old Madam Wei standing not far away. Lisa raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Old Madam."

"How was the banquet today?" The Old Madam looked at Lalisa and Wei Shu's similar eyebrows and suddenly asked an unrelated question.

"The food is pretty good." Lisa stood calmly, and her words made Butler Zeng's eyebrows twitch.

Miss Xia looked like a smart person, but she did not know how to seize opportunities. Even if she really felt that the food was delicious, she should not say it out loud.

The old madam stood quietly and looked at Lisa for a while. Lisa returned Old Madam Wei's gaze without fear.

After a while, a smile suddenly flashed across the old madam's eyes. Then, without saying anything, she led Butler Zeng away.

When they were eating just now, Lisa had basically identified everyone in the Wei family. She looked at the time and realized that it was time to go back. There was nothing to stay here, so she walked straight out the door.

"Wait a moment." Wei Zimu had also walked out of the hall and waved at Lisa.

A hint of admiration flashed across Lisa's eyes as she looked at Wei Zimu, who had arrived leisurely. This Wei Zimu, who had been adopted by the Wei family, looked much more outstanding than the other so-called members of the Wei family.

"What's the matter?" Wei Zimu had just helped her at the table, so Lisa was much more polite to him.

"My name is Wei Zimu, and I'm considered your brother. Can I call you Sister Lisa?"

"Up to you." Lisa nodded.

"It's my first time seeing you today, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. This is a little thing I carved myself. Just treat it as my first gift to see my sister. Wei Yu is young and has always been pampered. Don't be calculative with her."

With an apologetic expression, Wei Zimu handed a small box to Lisa.

Lisa reached out to take it. "I didn't hold it against her. Thank you."

"Are you leaving? Let me send you out."

"Alright."

Wei Zimu was a person who made people feel like a clear breeze and moon at first sight. When one chatted with him, it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. He was just like a modest gentleman.

He accompanied Lisa out the door. Along the way, he told Lisa many things about the Wei family, and she learned more about them.

"How are you going to go back? Do you need me to send you?" After sending Lisa to the door, he did not see her car. As Wei Zimu spoke, he took out his keys and prepared to drive Lisa home.

"I..." Lisa was about to decline when a familiar Phantom lit up not far away. "Someone came to pick me up. Thank you for your good intentions."

The Phantom drove over slowly. The chauffeur stood in front of the car door and waited for Lisa and Wei Zimu to finish speaking.

"Goodbye, Sister Lisa. This is my phone number. You can look for me if you need anything," Wei Zimu said as he handed a name card to Lisa.

Lisa accepted the name card and turned to get into the car.

The car door closed and the car gradually drove away. Wei Zimu's eyes were filled with confusion. He seemed to have seen a corner of the suit in the car just now.

The moment Lisa got into the car, the chauffeur very consciously pulled up the partition.

"Why are you here?" Lisa took the teacup from Jungkook and looked at him in surprise. "Didn't you say that you would be very busy today? Don't you have a meeting?"

"I saw that you were not back yet and was worried about you, so I came over." Jungkook glanced at the small box and name card in Lisa's hand. "Have you eaten well, Sister Lisa?"

Just as she took a sip of tea, she choked on Jungkook's words.

"Ahem." Lisa swallowed the tea.

Jungkook patted Lisa's back gently. "Why are you so agitated? It's fine if others call you, but I can't?"

Lisa felt her ears heat up. It was because she did not feel anything when others called her sister, but hearing Jungkook call her sister made her feel uncomfortable.

"According to seniority, I'm indeed his younger sister."

"Oh, as far as I know, that person just now is the adopted son of the Wei family. He's not related to you by blood. Why are you calling him brother? I think he has other intentions. You have to be careful of him."

"Jungkook." Lisa laughed and could not help but stop Jungkook from continuing.

"Yes," Jungkook put down the cup in Lisa's hand and replied slowly.

"I think you're the one with ulterior motives."

"I only want you, nothing else."

"..." Lisa felt that whenever she spoke to Jungkook recently, it would always end with her silence.

Seeing that Lisa was ignoring him, Jungkook said, "I'm so hungry."

"Don't tell me you haven't eaten yet?" Lisa was surprised.

"I've been in meetings the whole time. Then, I was worried about you, so I came straight here."

"Then eat some bread first. Eat more when you get back," Lisa said as she opened the preservation room in the car. Lisa liked to eat some snacks, and Jungkook often prepared some inside. As expected, Lisa found milk and bread inside.

"I don't want to eat it." Jungkook took the bread but did not move. Instead, he glanced at Lisa faintly.

Lisa had been too familiar with Jungkook's various actions recently. With one look, she knew that Jungkook wanted to tease her again. Lisa turned her head and ignored him.

Jungkook rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with fatigue. Then, he sighed slightly.

Lisa glanced at him and felt sorry for him. After all, she knew how busy Jungkook was. He definitely didn't lie, and he must have come to look for her after finishing his work. She said helplessly, "Then tell me, what should I do for you to eat?"

Lisa felt that Jungkook was becoming more and more like a child in front of her. He was actually like Haru, asking for comfort and coaxing.

"He just called you sister." Jungkook looked at Lisa with deep eyes.

"Well, you can call me that too."

"No, I want to hear you call me Brother." Jungkook had unknowingly approached Lisa, his eyes smiling.
