NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16
Secretary Choi, if I return to farming, you will naturally lose your job, but I didn’t tell you that. It was my own little revenge. He wasn’t really a person of Seong Chan-young anyway.
“Yes, Chairman-nim. It’s Secretary Choi. Can I go up to the parents’ house with young master Chan-young now?”
Secretary Choi called Chairman Seong in front of me. After some seconds had passed, Secretary Choi made an OK gesture with his hand.
“You can come right up. He said that it would be nice if we could have dinner together.”
“Tell him it’s alright.”
If you told an elderly person that your grandson had broken off the engagement he had made when he was young, he would pretend otherwise. However, having already experienced the temper of the dog-like gongs, I decided to push ahead with perseverance.
‘…..Maybe it’s better to be told that someone like you is not my grandson.’
Seong Chan-young’s family was not my family. In order not to be swept away by the flow of the original work, it seemed like a wise choice to block it altogether.
‘I won’t die.’
With that in mind, I pulled out a suit as neat as possible from the closet and put it on.
Extra clothes and towels were also packed in preparation for what Chairman Seong would do.
⚝ ⚝ ⚝
I was so nervous while riding in Secretary Choi’s car to my hometown, but the atmosphere was completely different from what I had expected.
“Ai-goo, my baby is here!”
‘What…. Why the hell did Chairman Seong come out to meet me with a bright smile on his face?
For a while, I wondered if ‘damn it’ or ‘bad shit’ should be put between “my”’ and “baby,” but Chairman Seong called me once more warmly right away.
“You must have had a hard time getting here. Ai-goo, how come you only have half a face left?”
‘I didn’t exactly suffer, but…….’
Seong Chan-young’s house was not that far from Chairman Seong’s home, and the only one who had a hard time getting here was Secretary Choi, who was behind the wheel.
It wasn’t even half of my face. These days, I ate everything I wanted with a lot of money, so the surface of his face was shining. To the point where Secretary Choi secretly told me that I didn’t have to make an appointment with a dermatologist.
It took less than a second for my thoughts to reach this point, and I soon summarized Chairman Seong’s reaction like this.
‘He must be welcoming me out of courtesy!’
No matter how mean a bastard he was, his grandson was still his grandson. It was said that blood is thicker than water, and Chairman
Seong did not seem to have any intention of neglecting his own flesh and blood member, Seong Chan-young.
‘Or perhaps he wants to save face in the eyes of others.’
The employees working around me were standing in a line and welcoming me. It was embarrassing enough to bear.
If he had heard that he deserved to be dug out of the family registry in front of so many people, he would have wanted to dig a tunnel and run away right away.
I decided to act like a decent grandson and be compliant.
‘Because I have to bring up the story of breaking up my engagement with Baek Do-jun later.’
“Thank you for coming to meet me, Grandpa.”
I was afraid of the atmosphere that would harden in an instant if I brought up the story of breaking up the marriage, so I decided to be
polite first.
No matter how much Seong Chan-yeong sold his personality, Chairman Seong never had the courage to leave him.
So, I did the common sense gesture of bowing down, but I heard a sniffling sound from somewhere.
“
Sniff
, let’s go.”
‘Huh?’
Strangely, I raised my head and looked at Chairman Sung….. There was something unusual about the profuse tears.
‘Isn’t he said to have expressions as tough as a tiger’s…..?’
What? What did I do wrong? Did I say something that would touch his heart?
In the midst of confusion, Chairman Seog marched down the path with dignity, as if the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes were fake.
‘Well then. I must have looked at something wrong.’
The leader of Seong Eun Group, who is not afraid of anything, must have suddenly had tears in his eyes from some kind of wind. It is said that menopause comes late for dominant alphas.
“Household Jin! My grandson is here today, so
prepare a feast for him
