My Husband's Scandal

Chapter 7: Unlikely Allies

The engagement ceremony, which had only been difficult and painful for Yun, had somehow come to an end.

"Chairman Cha, we are now family. Hehehe."

"It's truly an honor to be related to Assemblyman Seo like this. Hahaha."

Chairman Cha appeared very pleased in front of Ji Man, but in reality, he was bitter because Yun wasn't to his liking.

If she had been Yu Hyun's partner, he might have found it tolerable, but for Kang Hyun, the bride- to- be was woefully inadequate.

'Even so, to send a half- baked bride like that to our house, that guy must think I'm a joke. Huh!'

Chairman Cha ground his teeth internally. Even though Kang Hyun was now pretending to be an actor, he was a child who would excel in great positions.

Though Ji Man was a significant political force, politics was like walking on thin ice, and he could fall without warning at any moment.

Even if Yun was the legitimate child of Ji Man, she could still be cast aside, let alone being an illegitimate one. Therefore, Chairman Cha's gaze on Yun was nothing but cold.

'Kang Hyun won't be thinking of spending his entire life with such a girl. Once we've gotten enough out of Assemblyman Seo, we can just arrange a divorce at the right time.'

"Our new daughter is so very composed, to my liking. Hahaha!"

Contrary to his inner thoughts, Chairman Cha spoke as if he was highly satisfied.

"Since I have gained Korea's top actor as my son- in- law, I am also very satisfied. Hahaha!"

Chairman Cha and Ji Man laughed heartily while looking at each other. Seeing them, Kang Hyun clicked his tongue inwardly.

'They're quite the actors.'

"I have a schedule to attend to, so I must be going. I will see you at the wedding."

Kang Hyun bowed slightly and left without a backward glance. And Seo Jeong's face crumpled unmistakably as she watched Kang Hyun's retreating figure.

'Such an impudent guy, acting so busy that he leaves before his elders? Huh!'

On the other hand, Yu Jin felt somewhat relieved at Kang Hyun's behavior.

"Kang Hyun really dislikes you. Well, there's no way he would be happy to marry a bastard like you. You're on your own from now on."

Yu Jin whispered into Yun's ear, jeering to her heart's content. Only then did Yun look at Yu Jin, whom she had not seen in ten years. Earlier, Yu Jin had been too excited to take a proper look at.

Yu Jin, who had seemed as massive as a mountain in Yun's childhood memories, still seemed the same. Despite Yun not being short, Yu Jin appeared to be at least 10 centimeters taller than her.

Furthermore, she had a better physique than most men. She looked even more intimidating up close. When Yun lived in the house in Seongbuk- dong, she was tormented relentlessly by Yu Jin.

Being grabbed by the scruff of the neck and shaken was so disorienting and frightening that it left her numb. Looking back, she seemed almost like a punching bag.

"Just quit being stubborn and come live at home until the wedding."

Seo Jeong told her to stay in the Seongbuk- dong house until the wedding day. Whether she said this out of fear that Yun might run away, it was a ridiculous suggestion.

"...I refuse."

Yun opened her mouth while glancing sideways at Yu Jin.

"People are watching."
