Nancy bit her lip and nodded.

She caught the meaning behind Suzy's words. It was a backhanded insult.

She was implying that she had no manners and was trying her best to cut ties with her.

However, she could not let go of Mingyu. She simply could not.

!!

"Sis, don't say that about Nancy m. She's the one I love. She won't do anything to us, even if she stays in our house," Mingyu said.

"Child, her purity is not yours to comment on. You have no power over it. If she stays in our house, can you prevent bad rumors from spreading?" Suzy said with a smile.

Suzy's smile was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Nancy's heart.

"Alright, sister. I'll be careful. Nancy looks like she's close to tears."

Mingyu's heart ached as he held Nancy in his arms. He must marry this woman.

The group arrived at the park Family's house. The Park Family's servants had already helped to prepare all the food.

Lisa glanced at the dishes. There were a lot of coriander and a lot of spicy dishes.

The original Lisa had loved all of this in the original novel. Nancy did not eat coriander or spicy food at all. The moment she touched such food, she would break out in rashes all over her body and suffer from stomach aches.

As expected, Nancy frowned when she saw the food on the table.

Suzy looked at Nancy's expression and rolled her eyes. What a rude child.

A girl with such an upbringing wanted to enter their family?

"Lisa, come and eat. I know you like this, so I asked them to make it. It's your favorite boiled beef and duck blood curd."

Lisa nodded and ate quietly.

"Why haven't you guys divorced yet? I don't want to criticize you, but a girl's youth is short, so you should think about it carefully."

Lisa shook her head. "I've grown very close to Jungkook now. Thank you for your concern. I'll bring Jungkook to have dinner with you later."

Suzy was stunned for a moment, but she still smiled and said, "That's fine, that's fine. As long as you're happy, I'll be at ease."

Suzy had always been concerned about Lisa.

[If Suzy wasn't constantly trying to set Lisa up with Mingyu she would've been a nice character]

Lisa could not understand it. After all, the original novel never expanded on this matter.

Nancy felt a little awkward at the dining table. There was nothing to eat, so she could only lower her head and eat her rice.

Mingyu's heart ached for Nancy, so he rinsed the spicy vegetables in the tea before giving it to Nancy.

"Thank you," Nancy said, biting her lip.

Suzy laughed. "Ah, such a picky eater. I'm really sorry, but our children aren't that picky. Besides, we didn't know you would be coming, so we didn't prepare anything for you. But our housekeeper's cooking is very good. Do you want to try it?"

Suzy even used the serving chopsticks to give Nancy some boiled beef after she finished speaking.

Fiery red chili rings had been sprinkled on the beef. Even Lisa found them very spicy. At that moment, she felt a little sorry for Nancy.

She clearly couldn't eat spicy food, but she still had to swallow her pride for this man. What was it for? Was it worth it?

Lisa looked at Nancy and said, "Sister Suzy, didn't you say that you've prepared some white fungus soup? I kind of want to eat it now. Can you bring me to the kitchen to get it?"

Suzy's eyes flickered. "Lisa, you're so sensible. Sometimes I think that it would be great if Mingyu was as sensible and smart. Just you wait, I'll get it for you."

Suzy turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Nancy heaved a sigh of relief. She rinsed the beef in the tea and put it into her mouth. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Mingyu glared at Lisa. Lisa was too scary. She had bought his family over to her side and forced him to submit.

It was really too detestable.

Suzy brought the soup up.

She placed the cup in her hand in front of Lisa. "Here, I knew you were coming, so I made this especially for you."

Lisa nodded, lowered her head, and began to drink the white fungus soup. She didn't want to say it, but their cooks were rather skilled, and the White fungus soup was very sweet.

Suzy watched as Lisa drank the white fungus soup, mouthful by mouthful, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"After you finish your meal and send Ms. Nancy home, hurry up and come back home. Mingyu, I still want to have a chat with you and Lily later."

Nancy was extremely embarrassed. Her eyes wavered as she looked at Mingyu pitifully.

"Sister, don't be like this. You can also let Nancy stay and have a chat," Mingyu said as he hugged Nancy, feeling sorry for her.

"It's fine. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll leave now." Nancy picked up her bag, stood up, and was about to leave.
