The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96

A gentle breeze and warm sunlight bathed the afternoon as the Jangwon household staff bustled about more busily than ever.

Today, the entire owner family was scheduled to have dinner outdoors. In preparation for the event, which might run late into the night, beautiful lighting had been installed, and an array of colorful flowers and decorative installations adorned the surroundings. White tables were set with fine tableware and floral arrangements, while a stage for a classical performance stood slightly apart from the dining area.

Everything was perfectly prepared for the evening.

Chairwoman Jung and the three aunts took their seats first, followed shortly by Woo Jin and Tae Eun, arriving a bit later—then dinner commenced. The menu featured a variety of seafood dishes.

“We’ve successfully concluded the shareholders’ meeting and resolved that troublesome issue, so I thought, why not host a dinner like this? Let’s enjoy ourselves tonight with good food and cheer.”

The chaotic scandal had been thoroughly overturned; Woo Jin had achieved a dramatic image recovery, and the factory relocation—timely wrapped up—propelled him to stardom at the meeting. Added to that, the quarterly results had broken previous records, making it impossible for Chairwoman Jung not to be in high spirits.

“After all, our mother’s sense of timing is truly impeccable. I’d actually been planning to suggest hosting exactly this kind of gathering myself.”

“That’s right—just think how much Woo Jin and Tae Eun must’ve endured.”

At Young Hee and Young Sook’s words, Tae Eun carefully spoke up.

“I’m truly sorry for everything. Because of us, you’ve all suffered so much worry.”

“Oh dear, ‘suffered worry’… Well, I can’t say we didn’t—but did only the involved parties endure it?”

Appetizers arrived, and a leisurely, pleasant dinner began, made all the more elegant and splendid by the refined classical melodies in the background.

“But didn’t you say you’d bring Sunye along?”

Midway through the meal, Chairwoman Jung inquired about Young Hee’s daughter, who’d originally been expected to attend. Young Hee frowned, grumbling in response.

“That girl—honestly, she’s driving me up the wall. I can’t for the life of me figure out whom she takes after! I spent so much on tutors and even sent her abroad to study, thinking she’d finally filled her head with something useful—and now she says she’s becoming a singer!”
