Kwon Yool’s expression was unusual, which the observant Su Hee did not miss.
“Didn’t you give her a ride last time? You’re not in contact with her, are you?”
“How can I contact her when I don’t even know her number?”
Only then did Su Hee nod her head in relief and continue her words.
“I said it wasn’t an ordinary day when we first met. She’s really temperamental today too.”
“…….”
“Do you know what she said at the end? ‘One must know shame to be human.’ And then she just stormed off.”
Kwon Yool did not play along with Su Hee’s words.
What’s wrong with being out of the ordinary? He had decided to hold his tongue, not wanting Su Hee’s misguided suspicions and attention. He thought it was only natural to question things and speak up when necessary.
“Brother. Time to eat.”
At the sound of his younger brother Sang Hyun’s voice, the two of them got up from their seats.
The usual extravagant dinner was more lavish than ever, perhaps because it was Seok Gu’s birthday.
At the most prestigious seat of the specially made 14person dining table, Seok Gu was sitting, Kwon Yool, his eldest grandson, on his right, and his son Jae Hyung on his left.
Despite being the eldest grandson, Su Hee, who was a grandson by marriage, was pushed back to the second row.
“Our first grandson. Let’s eat.”
“Yes. Grandfather.”
Kwon Yool waited for Seok Gu to pick up his spoon before starting his meal.
Even while eating dinner, Seok Gu’s attention was solely on Kwon Yool.
The other family members quietly focused on their meal, as if this was always the case, speaking or not.
“Yool. Here, eat this gizzard shad.”
Seok Gu had picked out the juiciest part of the gizzard shad and placed it on top of Kwon Yool’s rice.
“This gizzard shad. The president of Young Jin Distribution from the front house brought it for my birthday.”
As Kwon Yool chewed, he responded politely.
“Wow, well, what can I say. Out of sight, out of mind. She’s currently studying abroad in the US, and she’s been secretly trying to pair my granddaughter with our Yool. How uncomfortable it was.”
No one added a word to his statement. They just continued their meal in silence.
“Can our grandson, who has never been anything but the top student, be compared with a granddaughter attending an unknown school? That’s what I’m saying.”
Overwhelmed by Seok Gu’s excessive praise, Kwon Yool felt like his throat was blocked.
But he just chewed a few more times and said nothing more.
Because if he explained that the world didn’t just revolve around grades, it would only bring a torrent of nagging.
“Hey, Grandfather. If it’s Young Jin Distribution, they have department stores, supermarkets. It’s a really good company. Being inlaws with such a family would be great.”
When Su Hee couldn’t hold back and intervened, Seok Gu slammed his spoon down.
At this, Jae Suk gave her son Su Hee a glance, signalling him to stay quiet.
“That much money? I have more than Chairman Kim.”
“Ah, yes. The old man is one of the top five cashrich people in our country.”
As Madam Kim, who spread out her five fingers, stepped forward, a small wrinkle formed between Kwon Yool’s eyebrows.
“For our Yool’s marriage, we will choose and select. We will match him with the most excellent young lady. If there is a conscience in heaven, this old man’s wish will be granted this time. Isn’t that right, Yool’s mom?”
Seok Gu’s cold eyes turned to Yeon Hee, who was eating rice at the end of the table.
Then her complexion turned pale.
“Yes, father.”
Despite Yeon Hee’s reply, Seok Gu’s face seemed not very pleased.
He tried to utter words of flattery, but Kwon Yool brought a meat pancake to Seok Gu’s mouth.
“Grandfather. You like meat pancakes. Eat them while they’re warm. But slowly, chew well.”
“Hehe. As expected. The only one who cares for me is my eldest grandson.”
Only Kwon Yool was in Seok Gu’s eyes.
Neither his sons nor daughters, successful grandsons, or even his adorable youngest grandson were needed.
The eldest grandson, who was rumored to be a genius, was only taking the elite course.
He was so absolute in the family that he announced he would leave all his vast wealth not to his son but only to Kwon Yool.
After the uncomfortable dinner, everyone had a simple dessert and quickly got up from their seats.
Seok Gu held Kwon Yool’s hand and bid farewell with regret.
“Yool, is Jin Bo Ra your classmate?”
“How do you know about Bo Ra, grandfather?”
“Isn’t she the granddaughter of JS Fire Insurance that’s moving into the Seochodong building? I met her father because of a contract. She acted as if she knew me.”
“Ah, yes.”
Right now, Kwon Yool’s head was about to explode with thoughts of Seo Yeon, so he let the story of his classmate pass.
“Is she that smart? That lady Bo Ra?”
“Well. I did take classes with her before.”
At Kwon Yool’s indifferent reply, Seok Gu nodded with a satisfied smile.
“Hehe. I see.”
Kwon Yool, who was distracted elsewhere, lightly brushed off Seok Gu’s interest.
“Grandfather, I’ll come on Wednesday evening.”
“Yes. Take this with you.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
