#66. Lee Hyun’s Countermeasure
2024.01.16.

“You came here today to meet up for a blind date, didn’t

you?” “Yes?”

Seo Yoon couldn’t hide her surprise because he specifically mentioned a blind date.

Seo Yoon tried to smile belatedly and ran a hand through her flowing hair as if it was the first time she heard it.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Then what brings you here today?”

“That’s… ”

If you said you had an appointment, you wouldn’t be able to spend time with Lee Hyun.

But you couldn’t tell him that you came here to approach him on purpose,

pretending it was a coincidence, so you were in a very awkward position. “It looks like you broke your appointment and got caught up in it.”

“… ”

“Come eat with me.”

“Why should I?”

“Shouldn’t you get something back before you go?”

“… ”

I’ll be sitting in the window seat over there, so come when you’ve gathered your thoughts.”

Soo Hyun passed Seo Yoon and headed to his seat first.

“What kind of person is that?”

Seo-yoon, who was mumbling softly, stood blankly in the hall of the large restaurant, unable to do anything.

She saw Ye-rin sitting across from Lee Hyun, smiling shyly.

‘Ha, if only it weren’t for Han Ye-rin.’

I could have spent enough time with Lee Hyun.

Seo-yoon made a spiteful expression as she thought so.

She had no idea that Lee Hyun would have shown up here today if it weren’t for Ye-rin, so she could think like that.

‘Ah, it’s annoying.’

First of all, she couldn’t stand alone in the center of the restaurant like this, so Seo-yoon had no choice but to walk over to Soo-hyun’s seat.

Soo-hyun looked as if he had expected her to come over and sit down in front of him.

With her eyes fixed on the menu, Soo-hyun asked casually,

“Who came up with this ridiculous blind date plan?”

“Huh?”

Soo-hyun put the menu down with a thud and stared at Seo-yoon.

“If it were normal, you would have called Hyun-i instead of me to set up a blind date, right?”

“… … .”

“Hyun-i would have come here because he thought it was a family meal.”

Seo-yoon swallowed hard and her mouth was still shut, unable to say anything.

“Do you know that? Hyun-i has no interest in you at all.” Soo-hyun

was insisting on pointing out something that Seo-yoon already knew.

“You should be grateful to me today.”

“Why me?”

Soo-hyun raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing the angry voice.

“If it weren’t for me, you would have gone home alone and lonely today.”

“No, you know.”

Seo-yoon blurted out her words, looking at Soo-hyun as if she was dumbfounded.

“I don’t know why you’re interfering and feeling sorry for me… … .”

“Assemblyman Kwak really wants to build a relationship with our family.”

Seo-yoon kept her mouth shut again because he mentioned her father.

“If Kwak Seo-yoon gets kicked out by Chief Cha Hyun again today and goes back without any results, he’ll be really happy, right? Isn’t that right?”

Seo-yoon was already the most afraid of that right now.

Assemblyman Kwak had been urging her to produce results no matter what so that she wouldn’t disappoint him again.

But if he found out that she hadn’t even had a meal with Lee Hyun today, let alone a few words of conversation, and that the reason for that was Ye-rin, she would definitely get criticized a lot.

As she thought about that, Seo-yoon began to wonder why Soo-hyun suddenly showed up here and was worried about her situation.

“What are you trying to say?”

“I have to get married.”

“Huh?”

He had a very serious expression on his face, as if he had to pull off some kind of project.

“Chairman Cha decided to give the Ji-seok Group to the person who gets married first.”

“So?”

“That’s why I’m looking for someone to marry. I know that Lee Hyun got the job, but Assemblyman Kwak would be satisfied with someone like Chairman Cha, so I didn’t really consider who the person I had decided on in the first place.”

There was no emotion on Soo-hyun’s face as he uttered those words.

That look was very similar to Lee-hyun.

‘You’re talking about getting married as if you were trying to make a business deal.’

Soo-hyun noticed that Seo-yoon was dumbfounded and began to explain in more detail.

“Assemblyman Kwak doesn’t seem to care whether I become his son-in-law or Lee Hyun.”

“Excuse me!”

“Let’s get married. It looks like you wouldn’t be able to do it with Lee Hyun even if you died and came back to life.”

Seo Yoon was simply shocked because he kept saying the right things every time he opened his mouth.

“Didn’t I tell you before? I’m interested in Chief Cha Hyun.”

“I heard. And I already know that Lee Hyun isn’t interested in you at all.”

“Ha.”

Seo Yoon drank the cold water in front of her in one gulp.

“So now. Are you trying to use me to inherit the Jiseok Group?”

“It’s a bit weird to say that. If you’re after the position of the hostess of the Jiseok Group and not Lee Hyun, then I’ll give you a chance.”

Seo Yoon fiddled with her water cup.

In fact, she did covet the position of the hostess of the Jiseok Group.

However, that was more like a trophy for standing next to Lee Hyun, and that wasn’t her goal.

In addition, Soo-hyun was like a robot with no emotions at all.

What Lee Hyun wanted was the gaze that looked at Ye-rin with endless love.

It was also amazing how a man who was as cold as ice in front of others would turn into soft cotton candy just by standing next to Ye-rin.

That’s why she wanted to be the one who would ultimately receive Lee Hyun’s affectionate gaze.

Seo-yoon made a decision in a short time.

“I appreciate the offer, but I’ll decline.”

Then Seo-yoon grabbed her bag and got up from her seat.

Soo-hyun must have expected Seo-yoon to react that way, because she didn’t seem to be hurt at all and instead smiled faintly.

“Then go in carefully. I’m going to eat, so I won’t be able to see you off.”

Seo-yoon glared at her as if she had seen all sorts of strange people, and left the restaurant without looking back.

Soo-hyun smiled as she watched the sound of her high heels clanking away.

“If I invest about 10 minutes and receive some of the Ji-seok Group stocks, this would be a pretty good deal.”

In the future, he often wished that Chairman Cha would force Lee Hyun to meet him.

The reason he deliberately spoke to Seo Yoon without emotion was because he wanted her to get up and leave quickly, as he was fed up with him.

No woman would immediately agree to a marriage she didn’t want.

Soo Hyun glanced at the food that had just arrived and got up from her seat.

Then, he raised his hand and called the manager.

“Can you move this food to that table?”

“Are you with someone?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Understood, sir.”

Now, he was going to steal a little of the free time he had guaranteed Lee Hyun.

He was so curious about what kind of woman had made Lee Hyun change like that that he was going crazy.

***

Ye Rin was sitting and talking to Lee Hyun, but she couldn’t concentrate properly because she was so worried about Seo Yoon.

Lee Hyun, who noticed Ye Rin’s feelings, put down his fork and asked,

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you clearly before I came here.”

“Oh, no.”

“I knew Chairman Cha would make this kind of place, so I came up with my own plan.”

“A plan?”

Just as she was about to ask what plan she had come up with,

a man suddenly barged in and sat down next to Lee Hyun, in front of Yerin.

“Huh?”

It was Lee Hyun’s older brother, Soohyun, whom she had met once at a breakfast meeting held at Jinheonjae.

Yerin was very surprised, quickly put down her fork, got up from her seat, and greeted him.

Then Soohyun gave her a friendly smile and gestured for her to sit down quickly.

“I think I’m the plan. Is that what you were talking about?”

“Yes. By the way, are you done already?”

Lee Hyun’s gaze turned to the table where Soohyun and Seoyoon had been sitting a moment ago.

Judging from the empty table, it seemed that Soohyun had ended the situation very quickly.

“Well. Since the compensation has already been decided, wouldn’t it be better for me to spend as little of my time as possible and receive it?”

“Huh.”

Just in time, the employee brought back the menu Soohyun had ordered, placed it on the table, and disappeared.

Yerin looked bewildered as to what was going on.

Only then did Lee Hyun begin to slowly explain the situation. He

confessed that it was strange that Chairman Cha had suddenly asked to have a family dinner on a weekend evening, and that Lee Hyun was the only one invited to that family dinner.

After thinking deeply about the reason for creating that strange meeting, she had a feeling that he had set up a blind date with Seo-yoon, so she made a deal with Soo-hyun.

Only then did Ye-rin nod as if she understood.

And then, as if she was worried belatedly, Ye-rin asked Lee-hyun,

“But is it really okay for me to hand over some of the stocks that Mr. Lee-hyun owns?” She

was just worried that Lee-hyun might suffer a loss later on if he ended up competing with Soo-hyun.

It was to the point where she wondered if it wouldn’t have been a better choice to just go on a blind date with Seo-yoon.

However, Lee-hyun just smiled cheerfully as if he had no such worries at all.

“Yes, no need.”

“But just in case… … .”

“Anyway, Chairman Cha’s conditions for giving me the position of successor were very clear.”

Only then did she recall what Mrs. Yoon had said to her.

“Are you talking about the conditions where you said you would give the Ji-seok Group to the person who gets married first?”

“That’s right.”

Lee Hyun pulled his upper body forward and smiled dizzyingly at Yerin.

“So you have to help me get married quickly, right, Han Yerin?”
