While Yoonseo was worrying about her future, Soorin’s thoughts were complicated in her own way.
Doha and Minhaeyeon were no different from usual.
Doha was as blunt as usual, and Minhaeyeon had a smile that seemed like a laugh, or maybe not.
Just looking at their faces, it was too contrasting to her face in the cafe on a rainy day.
‘Did she forget those memories again?’
Looking at it now, it seemed like exactly that expression. However, Soorin realized how absurd that assumption was.
Even if Minhaeyeon had lost her memories from the cafe, Doha couldn’t be unaware that she had met her.
Therefore, both Minhaeyeon and Doha, who were silent now like the calm before a storm, seemed to be surrounded by a faint sense of anxiety.
Soorin’s anxiety, which fitted various situations like quilt pieces, didn’t last long.
‘Tsk. Things have become troublesome.’
Unfortunately, she was caught by Minhaeyeon’s friend, Seol Jua, and things became complicated, but that was just really bad luck.
Anyway, Minhaeyeon was the one in the soup.
The results were already clear. Just by being invited to this house on a day like this was proof enough.
Once Chairman Yoon drew the knife, he was definitely someone who would cut something.
Having organized her thoughts and picked up the glass, Soorin smiled at Doha.
“Oppa, how’s your body? I heard traffic accident aftereffects can be severe, and I’m worried that you were discharged too early.”
If she drew the knife, Soorin would also end up like Chairman Yoon.
Since Minhaeyeon’s secret was exposed by Soorin herself, now would be a good time to touch on that subject.
Even if everything is difficult, it eventually becomes easy, and what comes after the storm is unexpected calmness.
With a worried look, Soorin looked at Doha.
“Who else could it be? I was discharged two months early. We’re also worried, Soorin.”
Speaking, Cha Jeon Gyoyang frowned.
Responding calmly to whatever she said, Soorin felt comfortable.
Cha Jeon Gyoyang had a haughty expression, and the end of his gaze was Minhaeyeon, but the person concerned continued to eat without saying a word.
“Since we’re on the topic, let’s say a word. What are you thinking, anyway? What are you thinking that your husband went back to work so early even though he was discharged early? Our house is not an ordinary house, and Doha is not someone who can’t make money. Where, let’s hear your story.”
Cha Jeon Gyoyang put down his chopsticks with a thud.
Soorin felt like she was watching a scene from a play.
Did Chairman Yoon decide to act this way today? Well, he endured it for a long time.
From the traffic accident to the inheritance. Why would Cha Jeon Gyoyang be lenient with Minhaeyeon?
Of course, the choice of enduring or not enduring was not Cha Jeon Gyoyang’s but Chairman Yoon’s.
Now that Cha Jeon Gyoyang is rampaging, it’s thanks to Chairman Yoon’s implicit permission. When the uncomfortable atmosphere surrounded them, a low voice cut through the air.
“Our marriage is over. There’s no need for Dad to bring it up. Please stop talking about it.”
Cha Jeon Gyoyang’s mouth opened. After seeing his second son like this, he seemed unable to believe his eyes, even though they saw and heard it together.
“Well, what is it?”
While Chairman Yoon remained quiet, in contrast, Cha Kijung, who had a bewildered expression, inevitably lost control of his emotions and got agitated.
“Doha, you, right now!”
“Is this not what you want, to continue this meal?”
Soorin saw the flash in Cha Kijung’s eyes as if saying exactly that.
The eyes of the elderly man, who had momentarily hesitated at Doha’s firm tone, not commonly used in Daechi-dong, stopped involuntarily and then cleared his throat with a significant sound.
“Yeah, let’s eat. We should continue eating. I may have raised my voice a bit during mealtime.”
Ahem, he cleared his throat, and Cha Kijung immediately lowered his tail.
The sounds of the tableware clashing resumed, and Soorin looked up, erasing the complicated thoughts from her mind.
With Chairman Yoon momentarily absent during the warm indoors, only young people were left in the reception room.
Even though it must be chilly outside despite the well-heated indoors, Minhaeyeon went out to the garden.
Seizing the opportunity, Yoonseo also stood up to follow her.
“Dongseo.”
As Minhaeyeon walked slowly, Yoonseo caught up with her after a short while.
Yoonseo called Hayeon quite affectionately, but in response, Minhaeyeon turned her head briefly, seemingly smiling or not, but her expression remained the same.
Minhaeyeon. Smiling? Yoonseo, feeling suffocated by Minhaeyeon’s enigmatic smile and Doha’s indifferent attitude, raised her cup again.
The lukewarm water, sticking to her tongue, didn’t suit Yoon’s taste.
After the frigid meal was over, during tea time, Chairman Yoon momentarily left his seat.
As Doha follows his wife wherever she goes, now only young people were in the drawing-room.
Although the outside might be chilly, Minhaeyeon went to the garden.
Yoonseo, also waiting for the right timing, stood up to follow her.
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.”
