Chapter 1114 - 1110: MEETING THE JEONG FAMILY
After being on the road for some time, they finally arrived at the Jeong residence and it looked even better now that she wasn’t thinking much about other things.
When the car drove into the gates, Diamond quickly noticed as they approached the main courtyard that it wasn’t just Madam Lim waiting for her this time but there were faces, she once saw previously but didn’t get to get acquainted to. And most importantly, her prospective future lover was standing tall, being all handsome and making her heart flutter just looking at him.
The welcoming party was simply so amazing, and the smile on her face deepened. Even Ji-an’s words sounded pleasant to the ears.
"She is here!" Madam Lim spoke with excitement as she looked at the car that was coming to a halt.
Her children and in-laws were also with her, which made the welcoming party pretty large and also looked sincere.
How could these children not be curious about meeting Diamond?
At first, they were skeptical about this foreign woman who came out of nowhere. They thought that their mother had been swindled and nearly did some rash actions. Fortunately, they didn’t do such things as they were proved wrong when their little brother woke up around the time their mother said he would.
After that, their mother started feeding him the pills that Diamond had given her and their little brother’s health improved. When the group of doctors checked him, they were so shocked that they wanted to look into their brother for a long time. If it wasn’t for their family’s deterrence, who knows what their little brother would be subjected to.
In fact, with how quick their little brother improved and even became better after that, all of the family was eager to get acquainted with Diamond. If possible, they wanted to get their hands on some of her pills regardless of cost.
What rich people fears the most apart from going bankrupt, it is to die.
Imagine dying just to leave all the riches behind. How could that be acceptable?
As a result, when their mother talked about hosting Diamond, who was also known to be currently busy with her schedule, those who were close decided to drop by for a visit and canceled their own plans.
Those who weren’t there, were their father, oldest son and second son. However, the first son’s wife was present but the second son’s wife wasn’t present. After all, the couple were currently out of the country and couldn’t make it in time.
However, all the sisters plus their husbands were present. How could they miss such an event?
Thanks to that, when Diamond arrived, the group was quite huge and she wasn’t fazed by it at all.
In fact, the moment she stepped out of the car, she beamed brightly at Madam Lim as if she was seeing her familiar aunt and beaming called, "Aunty, this young lady missed you so much. Did you miss me as well?" her tone as cheeky as ever.
Madam Lim nearly choked at the unexpected teasing. She was completely taken aback by Diamond’s eagerness. It was rare to meet someone like her to be honest. Even when they first met, she didn’t treat herself like a stranger but this time, she was even treating herself more like a family member. Did relationships deepen that fast?
The middle-aged lady was truly taken aback by this turn of events, however, as someone who had faced much in life, she quickly calmed down as she faced Diamond, and gave her a smile of her own.
"I always think about you all the time," you can never hit a smiling face.
Besides, she was really missing the other party. She was dying to meet her so that she can talk much about life, as well as show her gratitude. It was a good thing that Diamond was willing to act familiar and close. If she were to act distant, becoming friends would become difficult and take much effort. But with this opening, she didn’t need to worry herself much.
So, she was all smiles.
Diamond grinned happily upon hearing that as she approached the group.
"That’s good," she beamingly said before her gaze shifted to Young-Jae. Openly she sized the young man with twinkling eyes and the young man boldly looked at her.
A smile blossomed on her face as she looked at him and under everyone’s watch, she shamelessly said, "I can see that this darling is doing pretty much better. It makes this young lady happy to see that working," throwing a cheeky wink at him.
Soo-Yeon, the oldest sister as well as the first-born child in the Jeong family looked dumbfoundedly at Diamond. She was simply so shocked. Growing up in Gesalsi, where at times people were conservative and treated others with some distance and politeness. It was truly shocking to see someone like Diamond.
Her interaction with her mother, was already shocking but when she saw her talking like that to Young-Jae, she was simply stunned into speechlessness. She wasn’t even sure what to say at all.
She wasn’t alone, as the other two sisters were equally shocked and their husbands were equally stunned but inwardly wore smiles as they found this whole thing interesting.
As for the person in question, Young-Jae smiled as he took a few steps towards her without evading her gaze. Once he was in front of her, he stretched his beautiful hand that seemed to be sculpted by the deities towards her as he responded, "It’s my honor that I met someone like you. Without you, who knows what would have happened," the smile on his face so bright and fluttering.
Diamond stretched her beautiful hand of her own, adorned in her rings for a handshake. The moment the two hands met, one small and light brown in complexion and the other big and pale, sparks seemed to fly between them.
The two of them had smooth hands. They had hands that didn’t seem to be capable of doing hard work. They both locked gazes, smiles on their faces as their eyes seemed to be interacting. The handshake lasted for a while, without much being said, and the other family members watching all that couldn’t help but start feeling like something was wrong.
What were those two people doing?
