“With such an innocent face, you had us fooled, sister-in-law. I guess it’s true what they say about you bringing a leopard print coat worth tens of millions of won to the charity bazaar hosted by the vice chairman.”
Faced with these hostile and sharp words, Green slowly turned around. There stood two women she faintly recognized.
‘Where have I seen them before?’
After pondering for a moment, Green recalled meeting them at a gathering of K1 Construction’s directors’ wives last year, which In-young had invited her to.
She also remembered that these two women were the wives of Park Chan-wook’s nephews, Park Kyung-min, the director of the housing business, and Park Soo-ho, the director of sales, who were related to Seon-woo by a distant familial connection.
Even though they were technically family, these women had not acknowledged Green at the wives’ gathering, likely aware that she was not well-received in the family.
‘It’s obvious considering how father-in-law openly shows his disdain.’
That day, Green had similarly ignored the two women who pretended not to know her.
However, today, seeing Park Chan-wook showing favor towards Green, they immediately showed their true colors.
Green had no intention of being easily intimidated. Seon-woo had only asked her to take care of his grandfather, Park Chan-wook, and mother, Park In-young.
“Hello, Madam Park Kyung-min, director of housing business, and Madam Park Soo-ho, director of sales management, right?”
The two women were taken aback when Green correctly remembered their husbands’ names and positions.
“Both of you are here to celebrate Director Park Chan-wook’s birthday, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“It’s nice to see familiar faces. I heard it was a family-only event, but I was surprised to see so many guests. Both directors must be highly trusted by the director to be invited here.”
At Green’s words, the two women momentarily stood dumbfounded, then burst out in anger.
“Look here! My husband is part of Director Park’s family too!”
“Unbelievable, treating us like complete strangers!”
As they became agitated, Green feigned shock.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I knew Seon-woo is an only child, and mother-in-law is an only daughter. I never got introduced to other family members, so I didn’t know. I apologize.”
Since they themselves had never formally greeted Green, they were in a difficult position to be indignantly upset.
Green genuinely inquired.
“What exactly is your relation to Director Park Chan-wook?”
“Director Park’s brother is my husband’s grandfather.”
“Oh, so Director Park’s younger brother’s son’s son is Director Park Kyung-min, and Director Park Soo-ho, right?”
As Green accurately pinpointed the relation between Park Chan-wook and the two directors, it ironically seemed to emphasize their distant connection.
She slowly counted on her fingers.
“If Director Park’s nephew’s son is the two directors, then Seon-woo and the directors are sixth cousins. Had I known we were this closely related, I would have been friendlier when we last met.”
Green emphasized the ‘sixth cousins’ to make clear the distance between them and herself.
Director Park Chan-wook’s grandson Seon-woo and his wife Green.
Seon-woo’s extended cousins, the sons of Director Park’s brother’s sons, and their wives.
Although the three directors might hold similar positions in the company, at this family event, Seon-woo’s wife Green was in a more advantageous position, undeniable in the context of a family gathering.
Green was a pacifist, but she believed in returning what she received, a trait the others had underestimated if they considered it a mistake.
“What’s going on, honey?”
As his wife fumed yet couldn’t properly retort to Green, Park Kyung-min stepped forward.
Although ten years older than Seon-woo, he was always overshadowed by Seon-woo in achievements and in gaining Park Chan-wook’s trust, filled with twisted inferiority.
“What’s wrong? Did Seon-woo’s wife do something to you?”
He spoke as if Green had obviously made a mistake. Park Kyung-min’s wife, emboldened by her husband’s intervention, eagerly recounted the recent incident.
“We just wanted to offer some friendly advice since she seemed unaware of the family dynamics, and she stared with wide eyes and talked back sharply.”
“Really?”
“You know what she said? She asked us why we’re here if we’re not family.”
Park Kyung-min’s eyes glinted dangerously at that moment. He turned to Park Soo-ho’s wife and asked.
“Is what my wife saying true, sister-in-law?”
“Yes? Yes, uncle. She completely treated us like strangers.”
Outraged by the absurd accusation, Green firmly refuted Park Kyung-min.
“Park Kyung-min and Park Soo-ho, I admit I made a mistake not knowing you two were Seon-woo’s sixth cousins. But I apologized immediately after realizing the truth.”
Green’s heart was pounding, but she couldn’t crumble here.
Annoyed, Park Kyung-min turned to his wife and scolded.
“How many times have I told you? Don’t get involved with anyone related to Jin Seon-woo.”
“But honey, I…”
