Pill Maker Bullies The Boss

A Slap On The Face

Lisa headed back to her seat and sat down.

Song Chaerin was about to ask her daughter who it was when she looked up to see her eldest son walking in. She instantly shut her mouth and glanced at her daughter cautiously.

Jin and Lisa had been involved in a major conflict previously.

Song Chaerin coughed dryly before putting down her chopsticks. “Jin, what brings you here? Have you had dinner?”

The moment she finished her sentence, Namjoon, Taehyung and Huo Jiyong stopped eating and all looked up at Jin as he walked in. They reacted just like Song Chaerin and identical expressions appeared on their faces.

Then they automatically glanced at Lisa. They seemed worried that she might feel upset.

Jin seemed to feel a little sad when he witnessed this and his throat went even drier with anxiety. After a while, he nodded to Song Chaerin. “Yes, I have.”

The atmosphere felt awkward and Song Chaerin did not know what else to say.

It was Namjoon who broke the silence. “Brother Jin, why did you come back at this hour? Did you have something to tell us?”

Jin did his utmost to make himself sound natural as he spoke. “Uh huh. I saw the news online about Taehyung getting injured. Is it true?”

Taehyung’s chopsticks nearly fell from his hands.

Since Song Chaerin was not in the know about Taehyung’s situation, she immediately laughed and said, “Nope, he isn’t. Your little brother is perfectly fine.”

Jin looked at Taehyung. He certainly did not seem hurt like what the rumors seemed to claim, so he could not help feeling relieved. “That’s good.”

Taehyung coughed before he hurriedly looked up and said, “It’s all rubbish. It will die down in a few days.”

“Sure.” Jin did not go on probing him further.

The dining room went quiet after they ran out of conversation subjects.

Jin suddenly felt redundant standing where he was. He inhaled deeply before he smiled forcibly. “Enjoy your dinner.”

Then he headed to the living room. On his way, he went into a daze when he spotted the trophy sitting in the display cabinet as well as the two certificates hanging on the wall.

Jin walked over to see that one of them was for coming in champion for the National Quiz Contest while the other was for coming first in a national English oral competition.

Champion of an English oral competition…

Huo Jiyong had just walked over after finishing dinner to see his eldest son looking at the certificates in a daze. He recalled taking a video of his daughter’s contest today, so he reached for his phone.

He unlocked his device and tapped open the short video. He patted Jin on the shoulder. “Have a look at this.”

He wanted Jin to look at the video and see how impressive his baby sister was, instead of misjudging her blindly all the time.

Jin lowered his eyes to watch the video.

He saw how confident and proud she appeared to be as she stood on the stage and spoke English fluently. It seemed as though she was glowing. Anyone could tell how brilliant she was.

Jin was stunned. He suddenly recalled laughing at her pretentiousness in his heart when he saw her reading an English book a long time ago .

But look how things turned out? This video seemed to be mocking him for his foolishness.
