But is there nobody here?
As she pondered over her daughterinlaw’s attitude, Youngseon’s blood pressure seemed to rise even more.
It felt like she would keel over and fall backward at any moment, but her daughterinlaw’s shocking behavior did not stop there.
“Ah, you were here. Didn’t you hear me say I was here?”
Her daughterinlaw, who had discovered her presence, had made a goodnatured acknowledgment.
It was a drastically changed attitude.
Just yesterday, she wouldn’t have dared to utter a word, let alone bow her head to the floor.
But what on earth is this change?
Youngseon was boiling inside, but she held onto her sanity as much as possible and spoke in a sharp voice.
Still, she did not look at Suyeon.
“So now you’re treating me like I’m deaf?”
“Even if you say so. Deaf treatment? You knew I was coming in but pretended not to, so that’s what I said.”
“Huh, what?”
But Youngseon’s patience was not like the water of an inexhaustible well.
Finally reaching her limit, she suddenly raised her head.
In no time, Youngseon’s mouth gaped open, and her eyes widened in shock.
“Hey, what is this look you have on?”
Youngseon drew a harsh breath and spat out her words in a voice laced with anger.
It was a truly speechless situation.
Although she knew she was adopted and was swept away by a terrible sense of betrayal, she did not immediately dismiss her because of her always neat appearance and unchanging careful behavior.
That alone matched the tolerant image of the daughterinlaw she first saw, so her heart would often soften.
So at least the thought that she grew up in a decent family may have been wrong, but it did not seem that her judgment of a tolerant young lady was wrong.
She was disgraceful but she didn’t intend to drive her to divorce her son, so she tried to calm her mind with that thought.
But overnight, the daughterinlaw had become a completely different person.
Not only her behavior and tone of voice, but even her appearance that she had endured while shaking with betrayal.
She was a completely different person.
“Why? Do you not like it?”
“Is that what you call words……!!”
Youngseon blatantly scanned Suyeon from head to toe with her rough eyes.
Each time she etched the image into her eyes, a series of gasps of astonishment came out.
The heavy makeup unlike anything she had seen before, and the long hair that was always neatly tied up, was heavily waved and hung down.
If that was all, she wouldn’t have been so upset.
What shocked Youngseon most was the short dress that clung to her body.
She couldn’t bear to see that sight.
She abruptly stood up from her seat, threw away her dignity that she had always guarded like her life, and started to berate Suyeon.
“You really decided to go all out, didn’t you!”
Youngseon shouted, squinting her wideopen eyes.
It looked like she would foam at the mouth any moment.
If there was any consolation in this situation, it was that the daughterinlaw who had been talking nonstop was suddenly quiet, probably shocked by the sudden outburst of anger.
Youngseon continued to excite herself.
It seemed like she was intending to quell her momentum, but she had no intention of yielding easily.
However, Suyeon’s following whisper was more than enough to make Youngseon clutch at the back of her neck.
“Don’t tell me. I just went to the salon, if this is considered going all out, then what should I do.”
It was an unimaginable counterargument.
Yeongseon was utterly astounded, her mouth agape. She had forgotten all about her firm resolution she had just made and repeated.
Even a few words had managed to completely sweep away her rationality, leaving her mind blank.
She instinctively uttered an exclamation filled with astonishment through her parted lips.
“Oh, just look at how agape my mouth is. I’m really astounded…”
Yeongseon was so dumbfounded that she felt her strength draining away.
Her legs, which had been firmly planted on the ground, began to wobble and she finally slumped onto the sofa.
It was then that Suyeon asked, with a slightly surprised expression and a lowered voice,
“Are you angry?”
Yeongseon only licked her lips in silence at Suyeon’s brazen attitude.
‘Are you asking if I’m angry? Astonishing. Truly astonishing.’
No matter how she looked at it, the daughterinlaw in front of her was not the same daughterinlaw she had known, but just someone wearing her skin.
It had to be the case.
Her following attitude proved it.
“……Hmm, I wonder why you’re angry.”
She had the face of someone who didn’t understand what she had done wrong, even after displaying such brazenness.
Yeongseon clenched the back of her neck.
But the audacity of Suyeon didn’t stop there.
“By the way, mother, have you always treated me like this……?”
“What?!”
Yeongseon’s eyes widened in shock.
It was an audacious statement that far exceeded any limits.
‘Have I always treated you like this? No, never. I’ve always cherished you more than anyone else, and you dare to utter such words after making me this way?’
Yeongseon glared at Suyeon with eyes boiling with rage.
Suyeon seemed surprised at this.
“No, I mean, when I was with……no. When I was with Inho, you seemed to treat me very kindly.”
“You must have really eaten something wrong!”
Yeongseon slammed her hand onto the armrest of the sofa.
She couldn’t bear to hear such audacious words any longer.
Even though she had been cold, there was a part of her heart that felt pity for her daughterinlaw.
The emotions that had built up seeing her hang her head like a sinner every time she stood in front of her.
But the thought that all the images she had seen until now were false, and that this present behavior was genuine, made her teeth chatter.
Yeongseon gritted her teeth.
She decided that she had to show what it really meant to be a daughterinlaw today.
