Sun Young, leaning on the sofa, anxiously fiddled with her phone.
She was fretting about Hyun Ah, who had gone to Chairman Park’s house for a dinner invitation, lest she make a mistake. Hyun Ah was so naive and innocent about the world that it always made her feel as if her daughter was left in the water, causing unease.
On another note, it was fortunate that the old woman’s anger didn’t last long. Even if she didn’t know it, the precious ginseng had paid its worth. Since she had received a definitive answer to reinitiate the engagement, she should be able to relax.
Now that the troublesome matter was resolved, pentup complaints began to seep out. Sun Young frowned, as if the more she thought about it, the more she found it detestable.
“Chairman, I’m talking about Jung Hyuk. He’s being really unreasonable. He should have at least paid a visit by now.”
No matter how golden a grandson he was to Chairman Park, he would have been a soninlaw and hence part of the family.
Since the engagement was decided, there had not been a single greeting, let alone a welfare inquiry, which was utterly disrespectful.
It was the same with this incident. Even though his grandmother was threatening to call off the engagement because of the video, his indifferent attitude was exceedingly detestable.
Aside from his inherently bad and unfriendly personality, Sun Young was worried about whether she could properly receive the treatment of a motherinlaw with such indifference.
“That’s right. How little he must think of us to act like this? Please make sure he corrects his behavior before he becomes a soninlaw.”
“…….”
Despite her continued nagging, there was not a single response, so Sun Young’s gaze turned to the sofa.
Her husband, Chairman Oh Chul Jung, was nodding off on the sofa, oblivious to when he had eaten dinner.
Sun Young shook her head at the sight of him. He was nearing seventy, his forehead half exposed, his belly protruding.
He certainly hadn’t been like this in his youth, but as he grew older, her husband became increasingly sloppy, which only resulted in sighs.
His vigor was fading and it was hard to expect the same determination and drive from his younger years.
This was why she had to run around barefoot dealing with the marriage issues of their only daughter.
‘Call me as soon as it’s over.’
Not long after she sent the message, Hyun Ah called her.
Sun Young, who was eager to hear about the outcome, was startled upon picking up the call. Her daughter was practically screaming, having lost all reason.
As soon as she arrived at Hyun Ah’s apartment, the cries that she had heard over the phone continued.
“Ah! Waaaaaah! Waaah!”
As soon as she saw Sun Young, Hyun Ah’s sobbing grew louder. Sun Young rushed to her daughter, who was lying on the bed in tears. Her face was a mess, covered in tears and snot.
“What on earth happened? You need to tell me so I can understand.”
“Mooooom! He said he doesn’t want to marry meee! Waaaah……!”
It took time, but eventually, after hearing the full story, Sun Young ground her teeth.
Chairman Park, that damn old woman!
The raucous noise from the mobile phone stuck to her ear filled the room.
“President! You promised as solidly as iron just this morning!”
Sunyoung fiercely argued, but surprisingly, President Park’s response was rather flat.
Hyuna had gone, leaving a trail of tears, so he could guess how Sunyoung would react.
“How could you do this?! How did you crack down on your grandson?!”
At this point, even the usually calm President Park started to narrow his eyes.
It wasn’t because he tolerated the shameless Sunyoung crossing the line due to guilt. To say he was confused, President Park was just as flustered.
He was perplexed and his head hurt from too many thoughts to even afford to listen to Sunyoung’s tantrum. Yet, there was no way he could hold back when she crossed the line this far.
“How dare this girl chirp about my grandson’s crackdown?! Your daughter’s behavior was so improper that our Junghyuk couldn’t get attached. Whom are you blaming and asking, huh?!”
The formerly quiet old man erupted in rage, causing Sunyoung, who was taken aback, to immediately back down.
“I’m not blaming you, President… Cha…no, Executive Cha said…”
“You should have heard it too if you have ears! My grandson said he doesn’t like your daughter! If you understand, shut up and hang up!”
The glare at the abruptly hungup mobile phone sharply intensified.
“Did you call Junghyuk?”
“He is not answering his mobile phone.”
Even the always calm Secretary Yoon’s voice contained some urgency due to the unusual atmosphere.
The frowning President Park slowly closed his eyes.
The problem wasn’t the marriage with Hyuna. Even with all sorts of talk, the boy always obediently followed his grandmother’s words.
But such a grandson rebelled for the first time in his life. To President Park, it was as much a big event as if the world had undergone a seismic shift.
