Second chance

4. Afraid your mother will regret it.

"I have something urgent to tend to. I have to go." Jung Siwon relaxed his clenched fists, bowed to Grandpa Jung and said, "We'll hold a welcome dinner for Grandpa and Erika in 'Unique Taste Restaurant' and I'll go straight there this evening."

With that, he left the Jung Family's mansion without looking back.

Seeing how Jung Ki-bum and his family were so enthusiastic to Erika, Jung Jun-ah secretly disdained them. 'Treating an ugly duckling as a treasure—you will regret it one day!'

"So how are you going to explain to the press about Erika being your daughter?" Now it was Jung Hee-chul's turn to launch an attack.

Jung Ki-bum sneered, "Brother, do you live by the sea? I don't remember you buying a villa by the sea."

Lin Ru frowned and asked, "What do you mean?!"

"I mean mind your own business," Jung Ki-bum said sharply. "Why should I report to you about how I'll tell people about my daughter's return?"

After saying that, he looked at Taeyeon with a triumphant smile and winked at her. "Right, my baby girl?"

Taeyeon smiled sweetly at him. She was always polite to those who stood up for her!

"Whatever!" Lin Ru said coldly and looked away, refusing to look at Taeyeon. Perhaps Taeyeon greatly upset her.

Only now did Grandpa Jung nod and say, "Okay, this family meeting is over."

At this moment, Jung Jun-ah suddenly said, "Grandpa, I've prepared a welcome party for Erika tonight. A lot of celebrities will be attending. I want to introduce Erika to them."

"Stop!" Jung Ki-bum immediately rejected her suggestion before Grandpa Jung Yoongid anything. 

He glanced at Jung Jun-ah and said with a smile, "Jun-ah, you're a star and you're so busy. How could we bother you with this? Since my wife is idle all day long, I'll let her handle this. You'd better mind your own business and don't let your dear parents down."

"Second Uncle..." Jung Jun-ah looked sadly at Jung Ki-bum, her eyes turning red. "I just want to be a good sister to Erika... "

"Phew." Jung Ki-bum pursed his lips and said, "I know, I know, but I can't let Erika hold up your time. Look, your tears came out again! As an actress, you are too sentimental. I can't tell whether you really want to cry or are just faking it!"

Giggle...

Taeyeon couldn't help but laugh. She looked up only to find everyone was looking at her. She grinned apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. My dad's joke was really funny, so I couldn't help laughing."

Taeyeon found that she had no problem in calling Jung Ki-bum 'Dad'.

Even though she hadn't called anyone 'Dad' in the first twenty years of her life, it was quite easy for her to address Jung Ki-bum as such.

Jung Jun-ah blushed but dared not get angry. She forced a smile and said, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Yang Jingxian gently smiled and replied, "Not at all. After all, Erika is my daughter. This is what I should do."

"How ridiculous it is that you take a village girl, who hasn't even graduated from junior high school, as a treasure," Lin Ru taunted, unable to stand it anymore. "Are you doing this for the right of inheritance?"

"Sister-in-law, you... "

Jung Jun-ah couldn't help but look triumphantly at Taeyeon, only to find that the latter didn't look at her at all. She lowered her eyes and stood aside.
