Amidst the subdued atmosphere, Min Kyung-hoon and Ji-eun exchanged glances, feeling a sense of urgency.
However, as the other party was Jangwon’s Seo Woo-jin, they had to pretend to be at ease and force smiles. After all, there was nothing beneficial in agitating Woo-jin’s mood.
“By the way, is the marriage between you two already decided?”
As Min Kyung-hoon, who had settled his mind first, threw the question, Ji-eun’s eyes sparkled momentarily. Unless they misheard, Ji-eun must have called Ji-hoon her future son-in-law and even confidently mentioned their imminent marriage.
“Yes, Father. We have already received approval from our side, and they even provided a date for the formal meeting. If it’s okay with you, we would like to have the meeting next Saturday. How does that sound?”
“Oh, of course, we’re fine! Since you guys are busy, we should adjust our schedule. Right, dear?”
“Exactly. It’s fine with us. So let’s go with that day.”
Not missing Ji-eun’s urging, Min Kyung-hoon promptly responded. They needed to quickly have the formal meeting and proceed with the wedding without any setbacks to truly bring Woo-jin into the family. To achieve that, they had to sprint with all their might until the wedding.
“Oh, now that it’s out in the open. Our Tae-eun is not someone who would be left behind if we’re being honest. Right, dear?”
When just a moment ago Ji-eun was sending a resentful gaze because of Ji-hoon, she swiftly changed her stance and praised Tae-eun. Woo-jin, however, looked at her with an unimpressed gaze.

“I want to get married as soon as possible. Within two months.”
“Two, two months?”
Surprised by the short timeframe, when Ji-eun asked in amazement, Woo-jin calmly explained.
“You don’t need to prepare for the wedding. We’ll take care of everything on our side. There’s no need for a wedding ceremony.”
“Well, even so…”
“Oh my! Indeed, conglomerates have great power! Frankly, no matter how well we do it, it will pale in comparison. It’s more comfortable for both of us not to pretend and be at ease.”
Cutting off Min Kyung-hoon’s words, Ji-eun readily accepted Woo-jin’s words. It was a somewhat unexpected turn. Not only was she sending Tae-eun off to marriage for free, but now, Ji-eun must feel like she’s ascending to the heavens.
However, Woo-jin didn’t give Ji-eun much time to savor that feeling.
The main point was starting now.
“And there’s one more thing I’d like to say.”

“What is it? Speak up. We’re going to be a family now; can’t you listen to whatever I say? Right, dear?”
“It’s from Tae-eun’s grandmother. I want to bring her here personally.”
For a moment, Ji-eun, who was smiling, abruptly stopped. It was unexpected, and Min Kyung-hoon also seemed surprised.
“Well, I don’t want to burden you with such things. But she’s a complete stranger, isn’t she…”
“Right. That’s not proper etiquette. Tae-eun isn’t even having a traditional wedding, and now you want to burden her with her grandmother. Don’t worry. We’ll take care of Tae-eun’s grandmother. We’ve been doing it all along. Isn’t that right, Tae-eun? We have a conscience too. How can we involve even the grandmother…”
At the two people’s uncomfortable reactions, Tae-eun once again felt a sensation of her blood drying up.
She knew all too well why they were showing such strong resistance.
If she couldn’t get married, her grandmother was a burden to them with no value. However, if she married Jangwon, her grandmother’s value would surpass imagination. She would become like a remote control, allowing them to freely manipulate the married Tae-eun. That’s why Ji-eun didn’t want to lose her grandmother.
As someone who knew Ji-eun’s intentions all too well, Tae-eun couldn’t help but feel tense at this moment. In case they stubbornly took away her grandmother, Tae-eun would have to be their marionette for the rest of her life. But above all, what she couldn’t endure was her grandmother being used by them.
Due to excessive tension, Tae-eun clutched the dress on her knees, and at that moment, warm and large hands comforted her. Even after covering her hands that had turned white due to tension, the hands were still large enough to leave room.
Tae-eun looked at Woo-jin, who was next to her. She couldn’t read his gaze since he was looking at Ji-eun, but just the warm body temperature covering her hands was enough to make the tightly closed heart feel somewhat relaxed.

Yes, if it’s this man. If it’s this man, maybe he can save her grandmother from their hands.
Was it because the trust was too desperate?
That trust soon became a reality.
“No. I’m actually thankful. Miss Tae-eun has your blood, but you two are completely unrelated strangers.”
Only after seeing laughter disappearing from their faces did he raise the corners of his mouth and return their words.
“Regardless, once we’re married, Miss Tae-eun belongs to me. Her grandmother is the only blood relative she has, so, of course, I’ll take responsibility for her grandmother.”
“…”
“So, I’ll bring her.”
