The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 283



Only Noblemtl

I opened my eyes to the pleasant sunlight and the sound of sparrows chirping.

I had a gut feeling as I looked at my room, which had become brighter and felt much more refreshed.

‘You slept in late.’

Yes, that’s right.

I just ruined a Sunday morning that had so much planned.

I kicked the bed and ran.

Bam!

“Mom! Dad!”

“Oh, your highness, are you awake?”

The Taesung Group security guards, who were gathered in the living room, picking bean sprout heads and anchovy droppings, greeted us with smiles.

“Are you hungry? Bean sprout soup is the best today.”

“The fermented radish kimchi was just the right amount of ripeness and crunchy. And the squid and doraji salad was so sweet and sour.”

“If you mix a spoonful of soy sauce into a fried egg and drizzle some sesame oil over it, it’s delicious!”

“For dessert, I just had a bowl of misutgaru with ice cubes floating on it and that was it!”

Taesung Group’s bodyguards recited the breakfast menu one by one.

Whatever.

I turned my head quickly and searched busily.

“What about my mom and dad? You didn’t leave me behind and go to my maternal grandparents’ house first, did you?”

“Uh, um······.”

Could you please stop talking so slurred and making such an awkward expression?

If you openly roll your eyes in a group, people won’t be able to be fooled even if you try to fool them.

“I knew this would happen.”

Why did you keep me playing Go-Stop until late at night yesterday, unlike usual?

-I’m going to go in now and sleep. Good night.

-Jeonghyeok, let’s play this one more time with Mom!

-I have to go to bed early if I want to go to my maternal grandparents’ house early tomorrow morning.

-So just one more game with Mom!

My mother glanced at me.

-I’m so nervous that I can’t sleep, so I’m like, “Can we play one more game?”

How can you go to sleep after hearing something like that?

I reluctantly sat down on the road.

-Then are we just going to play one more round?

That’s how our hat competition opened.

One game becomes two games, and two games become three games.

-No, how come you don’t win a game?

That’s what I’m saying.

I definitely gave it my all and gave it my all.

I wonder if my mother is just not very sensible.

-Mom, you’re holding a pair of poop shoes, and there’s poop on the floor, so why are you eating maple leaves to make this slush?

I bought it again.

How many times have you fought this?

That’s because I really don’t understand.

I even intentionally laid a poop bluff to protect my mother from the scourge.

-That’s… the deer is smiling cutely.

-······.

So, my mother ended up getting beaten up again.

I’m trying so hard not to lose points.

When you come to your senses, it’s all been swept away again.

‘Whew, why is it so hard to give in once?’

I let out a long sigh.

‘I’m trying to show my filial piety by playing Go-Stop, but why are the cards so evenly matched?’

[What can I do? You are the luckiest person since the heavens gave us this gift.]

Damn, did I save the country for nothing in my past life?

The grim reaper read the spell diligently behind his mother.

[You have a goripae in your hand, but you can’t use it.]

‘Godori?’

I racked my brain hard.

It’s like going back to the days when Shillim-dong was called the ant hell.

I was busy running simulations in my head.

-Hmm!

I pretended it was a mistake and put the plum out.

If you have a high-altitude tripe, this is a tempting red bean paste that you can’t help but eat.

-oh!

The mother was very happy and made a bold move.

Yes, Mother! That’s exactly what you’re doing… Oh my god.

-Why did you come out with red dots? Are you trying to eat orchids and then peeing again?

-Yeah? Well, I was trying to avoid getting stabbed somehow.

Eugh!

I was tearing at my hair.

This can’t be happening.

My calculations were wrong!

I won again.

‘I deliberately threw the light away, but then someone came up behind me and swept it all away.’

[You are a lucky person sent from heaven. You are a national hero who saved the country in your past life.]

I sighed as I looked at my mother’s empty scoreboard, with only a single sheet of blood remaining.

This time, too, my mother is confirmed to be a madman.

Filial piety······ ruined?

-Mom, I’ll ask you this time and go for double.

The hope that with just one comeback win, Mother can take everything!

-It’s a one-room life! Let’s go!

This was the fastest and most certain route to victory for the mother, as presented by the Ant Hell of Shillim-dong.

Just one round is enough!

-Anyway, let’s play one more round, right?

-Of course!

-Okay, then let’s do that.

My mother smiled brightly and confidently replied, “Okay, let’s do one more!”

The Go-Stop game continued like that.

Eventually I found myself clutching my head again.

-I clearly hit it with my eyes closed, so how did I get a higher score than when I hit it with my eyes open?

How can Mom not win even one game!

The grim reaper who was watching from behind also shook his head with a bewildered expression.

[No matter how I look at it, it’s still really bad.]

My mother swallowed dry saliva with a trembling expression.

-So this time too, Jeong-hyeok is Godori, Cho-dan, Hong-dan, Cheong-dan, shaking, and O-gwang······.

-Ahhhhh!

I looked up at the sky and sighed.

My mother did the math quickly in her head.

-Since we asked in the last round and decided to double it, if you add it all up, it comes to a total of 2,457,680 won.

It was clearly a Go-Stop board worth 10 won per point.

How did I end up picking so many?

-Jeonghyeok, this time I asked again and doubled it······.

-Eight!

I lay down on the military blanket where the cards had been played.

As I concluded from the ant hell of Shillim-dong, my mother’s only route to victory.

This was the only way.

-I don’t know! This is all invalid!

Pavababak!

I shouted, waving my arms and legs with all my might.

Every time that happened, the Hwatu cards would fly out in all directions.

Just throw it away!

-I don’t know! I’m sleepy! I’m going to sleep, I’m going to sleep! Go-Stop, yaaaan!

Just give it a try!

This too was a child’s privilege.

The mother was very embarrassed and quickly started picking up the cards.

-Yeah, Jeonghyeok. Now that I think about it, it’s really late. Should we go to sleep?

– Excellent judgment.

Suddenly.

As if I never threw a tantrum.

I bowed politely with both hands clasped together.

-Then good night.

Huttadadak!

So I was finally able to go to bed around 1:00 in the morning.

‘Why don’t I know that my mother deliberately delayed yesterday?’

Since I knew, I had no choice but to pretend not to know.

‘I guess you didn’t want to take me to your maternal grandparents’ house that badly.’

A bitter smile came out of me.

‘Even though Yerin already told me how to solve this.’

When Yerin declared, ‘I will become Jeonghyeok oppa’s concubine!’

There was a time when he even had his family’s fortunes read in exchange for bribes.

-Your father will probably get beaten up quite a bit. But just close your eyes and take the beatings I give you. That way, we can untangle our tangled relationships.

-It’s a matter of rekindling a relationship that had completely turned around. It won’t be easy.

-You don’t need anything else, just bow down and go in with your brother in front. What good would it do to have a son who is so talented? This is a time to take advantage of it.

Of course, my father flatly refused.

-That can’t be. I have no intention of using my only son as a shield.

They say that it’s a match made in heaven.

It seems that my mother also agreed with my father’s opinion.

So, unlike usual, he must have grabbed me and clung to me with an earnest expression, asking me to play Go-Stop.

I saw that look on your face, I knew that feeling, so how could I not pretend not to know?

‘Since I was going to close my eyes, I wanted to give it to my mother so that she would feel better.’

That’s the only thing that didn’t work out the way I wanted it to.

‘When I was punished by heaven, no matter how hard I tried, heaven would always interfere. But in this life, heaven is always helping me too much?’

I can’t blame heaven for my good luck.

The Taesung Group bodyguards asked cautiously.

“Your Majesty, breakfast is ready.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Oh my! So you’re going to starve?”

“People don’t die from skipping a meal.”

Taesung Group’s bodyguards were in high spirits.

He jumped up and threw away the bean sprouts and anchovies he was trimming.

“No! Even if the world falls apart, you can’t skip breakfast. Your blood sugar will drop!”

“Koreans live on rice. Just try one bite, okay?”

“If you don’t eat, you won’t grow taller! Are you going to stay this tall for the rest of your life?”

Taesung Group’s bodyguards came running.

Some people eat rice in bean sprout soup.

Someone mixed soy sauce egg rice.

Someone else brought a bowl of powdered sugar with ice cubes floating on it.

But I said it bluntly.

“Let’s leave for Bundang immediately.”

“Yes, your highness!”

The Taesung Group bodyguards also reluctantly answered loudly.

Yes, it’s important to have a solid attitude when working!

I really like this······ Ugh!

“Okay, let’s eat our master’s food. Oh my, it’s delicious!”

“The bean sprout rice is going to be cooked well. Oh, do it~!”

“Should I just take a bite of this and leave? That’s right, that’s right! You chew it thoroughly, you’re good~!”

Taesung Group’s bodyguards kept shoving food into my mouth.

“This is my first time going to my maternal grandparents’ house, so I can’t go without getting my eyes checked, right?”

Some people wipe my face with a warm towel.

“Oh, my, how pretty! Should I comb your hair a little more?”

Someone was holding a comb and smoothing my hair.

“Umm, what you’re wearing right now isn’t real. This! How about a cute bear T-shirt?”

“I think puppy tea suits you better.”

“Isn’t that chick tee that you matched with Miss Yerin the cutest?”

The bodyguards opened the travel carrier they had prepared in advance, took out the clothes, and placed them on my body.

“Ah, as expected from our master! Whatever I give him, he goes well with it!”

“When grandpa and grandma see our master, they will fall in love with him.”

The eyes of the Taesung Group bodyguards surrounding me were like half-melted chocolate.

It was soft, sweet, and warm.

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to rush so much.”

“Children in the new country need to eat well, sleep well, and play well.”

“Probably, by the time you arrive at your grandfather’s house in Bundang, the work will be finished.”

“Shall we take our time and eat some delicious food?”

This is the reason why Taesung Group’s bodyguards waste time.

That was the reason why they clung to me and made me look pretty.

I also stopped laughing and started giggling.

“Of course. Everything will be fine. So don’t look so worried.”

If you prepare so thoroughly, how can things not work out?

So what if things don’t work out well?

My specialty is making the impossible possible!

‘I told you I’d make this marriage happen.’

Even though I’m like this, I’m a lucky person sent from heaven. I was a national hero who saved the country in my previous life.

The heavens are pushing me hard without even being able to see me lose a single game of Go-Stop.

‘There’s no way the heavens would carelessly take my maternal family away from me. I’ll try to believe it.’

[Of course.]

The grim reaper raised his thumb.

[Even King Yeomra had warned me in advance. He told me to visit my maternal grandparents this time.]

Yeah, that’s what happened.

I’m honestly curious too.

If King Yeomra even left a tip telling him to go see his maternal grandparents, then it must have been a pretty good thing.

Even Yerin had declared it.

-There is more land hidden than land that we have now. There is a lot of it in the south, including Busan. There is even more in Japan.

-You have so much of it, having only chosen the land of gold.

-Don’t forget it, it will be a great foundation for you. Don’t regret it later.

A foundation that will be of great strength to me.

That’s why it was more exciting.

‘I guess I’ll find out if I meet her in person and ask her a little.’

So let’s hurry.

If you want to attend a neighborhood party in time for lunch, time is tight.

* * *

Every time the car drove by, the scent of summer poured in.

The sun was hot, the dust was rising, the trees were thick, and the wind was damp.

In the city center, you feel the rising temperature in the rippling asphalt haze.

Even if you just go to the outskirts like this, you can feel the seasons through the dirt roads and mountains and trees.

“The placard came out well.”

I liked the large banner hanging at the entrance to the village.

The banner had the address and map of where the neighborhood festival was being held.

“I guess instead of holding it in the village hall, they rented a regular house?”

“Because the village chief wouldn’t allow us to use the village hall, we had no choice but to hold the event at the house the vice-chairman had previously purchased.”

Suddenly, I remembered what my father said when my parents were reunited.

-I bought the house next door to your parents. I even hired people to run it. It’s been seven years since I’ve been waiting for you to stop by your parents’ house.

I guess this is the house I was talking about.

I decided to think positively.

“That’s good. It’s not a presidential or general election, but if you rent the village hall for private purposes, there could be criticism that you are abusing your power as the village chief.”

“I had agreed to donate 100,000 won to the village development fund in exchange for renting the village hall.”

“Then there might be gossip that the village chief is abusing his power?”

At this time, the minister’s salary was 250,000 won, and the prime minister’s salary was 350,000 won.

The story goes that 100,000 won, which is supposed to be a village development fund but is actually pocket money, was lost due to the village chief’s arrogance!

That won’t work.

“I really need to nail it down at the neighborhood party today.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Now that I have received permission to marry, I’m happy to donate 300,000 won to the village development fund.”

Anyway, if I get any extra money because of my marriage, the credit will all go to my maternal grandfather, who is the village head.

Then, instead of talking back, the cheers of “Long Live the Village Chief” will come out naturally?

“If you can buy the town’s favor with money, you should buy it.”

I wish my parents had a wedding with the blessings of many people.

Vroom. Squeak.

“We have arrived.”

This is my maternal grandparents’ house!

It is said that this was a noble family that had been very wealthy since ancient times and was a local leader.

A huge tile-roofed house greeted me.
