The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 293



Only Noblemtl

293.

In front of the house where the village feast is held.

Squeak.

A black luxury sedan stopped.

As the driver opened the back door, slender legs in red high heels stepped onto the ground.

Wearing the latest one-piece dress from a department store, she is holding the latest designer bag.

A woman with fine makeup pushed up her sunglasses with a hand that had sparkling red nail polish.

“Secretary Yang, are you here?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Fujigi.”

I took a quick look around the house where the village feast was being held.

The woman’s lips twitched in a mocking smile.

“You kicked Woo-kwang out by telling him to marry a family like this. Your Highness, you too.”

“Isn’t it good for us?”

On the other hand, the man who got out of the car after that rolled his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

“Sungjun, it’s difficult to deal with his maternal family, so it’s a headache if his in-laws are also competing.”

“Mr. Kijun.”

“I think so.”

“joy.”

Cha Ki-jun’s wife snorted.

“You lost your position as vice president of the group and even gave up Taesung Foods, so how can you expect me to think positively about it?”

“That is still an open question.”

Cha Ki-jun fixed his clothes.

“The head of Taesung Group is still my father, and the position of Vice Chairman of Taesung Group can be changed at any time.”

“Master Seongjun, will you please quietly hand me your rice bowl?”

“Where in this world is there a person who wants to have their rice bowl taken away and lets it be taken away? They are the ones who get kicked out in a power struggle.”

Cha Ki-jun smiled meaningfully.

“Wouldn’t this ultimately be decided by a fight over shares?”

“That’s why I’m so upset. Since Mr. Seongjun’s maternal family has grabbed a huge stake in Taesung Electronics, we have no chance of winning.”

“There is no chance of winning.”

“It’s difficult with just the power of the Kukhwa Group. You know that.”

“Seongjun’s maternal uncle has been away from work for a long time because he’s busy with work today and tomorrow, and among the candidates for the next successor to the Jeong family, three have decided to support me, and even the bank presidents are leaning toward me.”

Cha Ki-jun put his hand on his wife’s shoulder.

“So smile.”

“I don’t feel like laughing right now.”

“Be an adult. You have to be able to smile even when you don’t feel like smiling. That’s what makes you an adult.”

Cha Ki-jun smiled with his eyes wide open.

“It’s a matter for Taesung Group. You have to keep in mind that depending on your actions, my future and the future of our children can change.”

“Are you threatening me now?”

“Threat? Is it okay to use such a hurtful word between a married couple?”

Cha Ki-jun put strength into the hand holding his wife.

The eyes looking down at his wife were extremely cold.

“This is just a request for your cooperation.”

“under?”

“If things go wrong because of you, the Kookcheon Group won’t be okay either. If you don’t want to see your parents’ family sink together with me, then you better behave yourself.”

Shh.

“This is what a threat is.”

“You’re really unlucky. You know that, right?”

widely.

She struck her husband’s hand and knocked it away.

Instead, he smiled coldly.

“You behave yourself. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“What a wonderful adult’s face.”

Cha Ki-jun took off his wife’s sunglasses.

Her heavily made-up eyes were glaring coldly.

The tip of her poisonous gaze passed her husband’s face and headed toward the bustling village banquet hall.

“Anyway, as for the level, I really hate country bumpkins.”

Bam!

Then, without warning, the door to the banquet hall opened.

The Cha family rushed out.

“You all arrived early. I guess we’re a little late.”

“It’s not too late. Let’s go!”

“······yes?”

Where are you going?

The banquet hall is here.

“We need to meet the parents.”

“yes?”

“Sungjun’s in-laws’ house is the house where Sungjun was first engaged.”

“yes?”

Cha Ki-jun opened his mouth wide.

There was an earthquake in both of my eyes.

It was so unbelievable that even my voice trembled as I asked.

“Is that the house where Mr. Jeong personally arranged the marriage······.”

“Yeah. So you came back to be our daughter-in-law again. Hahaha.”

“······.”

Cha Ki-jun shut his mouth tightly like a clam.

No, I bit my lips hard.

He clenched his fists so tightly that no blood flowed to them.

It was to erase the angry expression.

“yes?”

So this question was not Cha Ki-jun’s.

It belonged to his wife, his second daughter-in-law.

“Father, this is the house where the banquet is held.”

“This is the house that Seongjun bought, and the youngest daughter-in-law’s maternal home is over here.”

“······.”

The place that Chairman Cha pointed to was a tile-roofed house as grand as a whale’s back.

“······.”

The second daughter-in-law also quickly scanned the house of the wealthy nobleman with trembling eyes.

The walls seemed endless, and there were more than one or two tall tile-roofed houses.

“Even so, I’m just a country farmer’s daughter. I wish I had some land…!”

“no.”

The person who shut the second daughter-in-law’s mouth was Cha Ki-jun.

Cha Ki-jun let out a soft sigh.

“Not all land is the same. If this house is Sungjun’s former fiancée’s house, I heard they are doing a lot of real estate in Japan.”

“town?”

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. It’s called Nakamura Real Estate in Tokyo.”

“Huh?”

The second daughter-in-law’s eyes grew wide.

Only then did Cha Ki-jun lower his hand that had been covering his wife’s mouth.

The second daughter-in-law opened her mouth wide without even realizing that her lipstick was smudged.

“Your family is a Japanese real estate tycoon?”

Chairman Cha said bluntly.

“Are you planning on meeting your in-laws on the street? That’s enough! I’ll wait for my in-laws.”

Led by Chairman Cha, the Cha family members rushed into the main gate of the tile-roofed house that resembled a whale’s back.

“······.”

“······.”

The Cha Ki-jun couple were left in a daze in front of the main gate.

* * *

The meeting went smoothly.

There was no room for a child like me in the great human affair called marriage.

Because it was solely the adults’ business.

I sat down on the platform in the front yard of my maternal grandmother’s house.

‘Whew, what’s so hard about this?’

As the adults’ conversation deepened, the child received a surprise summons.

Swish.

The Grim Reaper, who had risen like smoke, sat down next to me.

[Isn’t it just a saying that it’s hard?]

‘Is it tea?’

[A lot. Are you not really good at controlling your facial expressions?]

It’s just the two of us, so what?

I couldn’t hide my hearty laughter.

To be honest, I felt like shouting out loud to the whole neighborhood.

-People in the neighborhood, our father is getting married! Our mother is getting married! They say you two are a match made in heaven!

The various sounds of laughter coming from the wall are also incredibly enjoyable.

The elders pour drinks and laugh while throwing Yut cards.

The children were so excited that they were running around and laughing amongst themselves.

The laughter of the housewives erupting in laughter as they chatter about the banquet.

‘Good.’

I smiled happily.

It was an event that would not happen many times in my life, past or present.

‘I’m so lucky to be able to attend my parents’ wedding and congratulate them.’

I did well to save the country in my past life.

It’s good to be alive.

It was a good decision to return.

The corners of my lips, which were stuck on my ears, just wouldn’t go down.

‘You two are such a good match. You’ve really gone around and around.’

In my past life, both my father and mother passed away at a very young age.

My mother died of carbon monoxide poisoning when I was seven, and my father died in a plane crash the following year.

For that reason, I have never been able to find my father, my maternal or paternal relatives in my entire life.

‘Because that was my punishment.’

The grim reaper flinched for a moment and then turned his head.

[But this life will be different.]

‘Yes, my parents are alive and well, and I’m getting married with the blessings of both families.’

What is this that is so touching?

Happy endings are always right for everyone, everywhere, and everywhere!

I kept smiling happily.

‘I hope there will be good results.’

[Weren’t the elders of both families smiling at the meeting?]

Even though I knew the chances of it happening were extremely slim.

This is something I’m secretly worried about.

‘It ain’t over till it’s over. That was the case with our Kang-woo. He was still laughing until he entered the meeting hall.’

[······.]

Even now, when I close my eyes, I can vividly recall that moment.

-You said you live in a multi-family house in Sillim-dong?

-Then you’re saying that you can’t even afford to help with the villa deposit? Ahem!

The words pouring out in front of me were sharper than the tip of a sword.

The eyes that looked me up and down and gave me an estimate were hot.

-No matter how much dust you collect, it’s just dust? They’re pushing this into their bankbook. I’m really astonished.

-Hey, do you really have to get married? No matter how you choose a man, you always end up choosing someone worse than an orphan!

It was a tense moment, as if my life was being evaluated.

As a father with a son, I had no choice but to bow my head.

-The ancestral rites and holidays are over and there is no need to look forward to them, so just pretend I don’t exist.

-Can you please just look after my child? If you just take out the father, he’s a pretty decent kid. Please.

Just in case, I prepared a 124 pyeong penthouse with a view of the Han River.

7 rooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 parking spaces per unit, selling for 14.9 billion won.

He also took with him a thick bankbook and documents showing the background checks on the people who would become his in-laws.

Nevertheless, the meeting ended up being a disaster.

‘It wasn’t easy.’

That was the reason why I couldn’t let my guard down until the very end.

‘I was like that too.’

[······.]

To be exact, in my case, I couldn’t even go near the meeting and got into a fight.

-Marry me.

The day I proposed, she disappeared without a trace.

After searching all over the country for 12 years and throwing my finger at her, I finally found her and met her again.

-I’ll ask you one more time. Marry me.

She never responded to my second proposal either.

That was the natural course of my husband and I, to have such a quarrel.

The grim reaper, whose head would bow toward the ground every time he spoke, spoke in a crawling voice.

[Will it be different this time?]

‘That’s right.’

I clenched my fists.

‘This time, I’m going to try to be a good husband!’

So I was even more worn out.

‘When will we grow up and meet our parents?’

[······.]

I’m eight years old, Yerin is six.

Even if you get married as soon as you become an adult, it will take 14 years.

This is so far away!

Moreover, in my case there was another problem.

-When Yerin grows up, will she marry our Jeong-hyeok? Will Jeong-hyeok become her wife?

-No! That’s absolutely not true! I will become your child···, child······, that is, child······ concubine!

What the concubine, I’m going to freeze to death!

‘How do I persuade her to become my wife?’

[······.]

There’s a long way to go!

Natural law. As expected, he was not an easy opponent.

‘I miss you, our Yerin.’

I thought of her as if it were an old habit.

I missed Yerin’s smile that made me feel like I was melting when she saw me.

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought the picture frame that was on my nightstand.

‘I should stop by Samcheong-dong on my way home and see you for a bit.’

Here, the dessert breads and cookies made by the chefs of the Taesung Hotel Western cuisine team are especially works of art.

She loves sweet things, so she’ll love it if you pack her a bundle of snacks.

‘There’s something I really want to ask Yerin… Huh?’

Am I seeing things right now?

I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

It’s the same.

It wasn’t a fantasy.

“Yerin is hereoooo!”

Yerin came running towards me, smiling brightly.

I crossed the threshold with both arms outstretched.

“Yerin!”

Before I knew it, I kicked my seat and jumped up.

He spread his arms wide as if possessed.

Yerin hugged me tightly.

“Hehehe.”

I couldn’t believe it.

I hugged her warm, soft, and adorable little body tightly.
