As expected, the first thing he saw after he went in was Yong Gun walking to the side of Ye-Jin's bed angrily. The wrath inside him was spiraling out of control.
"What did I tell you back then? Huh? You didn't believe me! The Kim family is abnormal. They are a prideful political family. I told you to not marry him, yet you insisted on going to Hyunbin! Huh?" Yong Gun was scolding Ye-Jin. The anger inside him burst out all at once, highlighting his hatred towards Hyunbin and the Kim family!
"I disagreed to the both of you being together, and you dare to threaten to renounce your relationship with me. Look what's happened now! What's happening? Marco is doing just fine, and a thousand times better than Hyunbin, so just what's wrong? Is he not as handsome as Hyunbin? Is he not smart enough? Look at how happy their family is now? Do you see how handsome Lisa is?"
Suddenly, he noticed Jennie's odd expression and then realized the logical flaw in his sentence. He then continued, "Luckily, I'm quick enough to grab Lisa. Jennie, you're much wiser than your mother! If you married Kai, you'd surely have led a hard life! A man like that needs a wife to serve him forever. How could you be happy marrying a man like that?"
Ye-Jin's face turned pale as Yong Gun scolded her. A faint light flashed in her beautiful eyes, hinting at her aggrieved and sad emotions.
"Alright, Grandpa, stop it! If that happened, there wouldn't be Lisa and me anymore. Moreover, don't you see I'm pretty stupid as Father and Mother's child? Though Lisa is quite smart..."
Jennie tried to help Ye-Jin out when she noticed her evident discomfort.
Yong Gun calmed down drastically. He took a short pause before saying, "Well, there's that! At least we won't have such a messy life right now! Look at you now, what are you going to do in the future? Don't say that you don't care, you're my daughter, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Ye-Jin took a deep breath and replied, "Don't worry, Father, I'm fine. I'll just take it as early retirement."
"Retirement?! You're just over 50 years old, right smack in your mid-life, and you're going to spend the latter half in total darkness! Do you think it's going to be easy?" Yong Gun glared at Ye-Jin on the bed.
Stunned, she looked downward silently and did not say anything.
Jennie frowned worriedly. "Grandpa, Mother, don't be so pessimistic. I'm sure there's a cure for this!"
"Whether there's a cure or not, I'm going to get this matter sorted out!" Yong Gun narrowed his eyes as a cold light lit up in them. "I'm trying to be considerate about you and Jennie, so I never said anything in the past twenty years. I ignored it all these years when the two of you were handling them by yourselves, but with the recent incidents, I can't just sit here and do nothing!"
"Grandpa," Lisa finally said something as he walked over.
"Mmm." Yong Gun's anger and coldness toned down when he saw Lisa.
"I'll discuss sorting things out later with you. Mother needs more rest. Let's not worry about this for now." Lisa's neutral tone was effective.
Jennie quickly nodded and went along. "Grandpa, I just wanted to talk about this too. It's difficult for us to judge their relationship, and we can't really blame anyone for this either. It's all in the past now."
"Your grandpa is right. I was too headstrong and this is the price I have to pay. I deserve it, alright?" Ye-Jin mocked herself.
"Mother..." Jennie looked Ye-Jin's pale and exhausted face. She looked like she was in deep sorrow, and her heart sank.
"This is just too frustrating! I don't care anymore. I'm just so angry whenever I see Hyunbin! He keeps going on about protecting you, but he was never there when you needed him the most! I can still keep an eye on you guys as I'm still alive now, but what happens after I'm gone?" Yong Gun's voice softened.
"Those two women from the Kim family did a lot of work to track you both down. They are aiming for the Yueying shares in your hands. If it weren't for me, they'd have gone straight to your door! Do you still think you can enjoy such peaceful lives?"
Yong Gun sat down on the sofa as Lisa poured him a cup of tea.
"Father will take care of the problems over there. Don't be too quick to get angry now, Grandpa. We're not just going to let this matter go."
Lisa smiled. He knew that Yong Gun had a pretty short temper seeing how hard he hit Hyunbin just now. Hyunbin's left hand was probably out of action for the next few days.
Jennie's violent temper probably came from him. She had gone right up to Chaerin's office and beat her up, putting Chaerin in a terrible state when she was sent to the hospital. Oh, how she wished she could slice Jennie up into pieces!
"If he's actually useful and can solve this issue, the two of them wouldn't need to suffer like this!"
Yong Gun's impression of Hyunbin was the worst and he had no hopes for him at all.
"Do you not have any confidence in Father?" Lisa gave Yong Gun an odd smile as he glanced at him.
"You're smiling like a sly fox! You look just like a wicked businessman trying to lure me into a trap." Yong Gun was an old, cunning fox himself. After all, it took one to know one.
"I'm always a businessman, and businessmen are all wicked. I want to make a bet with you. Are you nervous about it?" Lisa raised his eyebrows as he looked at Yong Gun.
Yong Gun drank some tea and stared at Lisa sharply. "Bet on what? If you lose, is your first child with Jennie going to carry the family name 'Son'?"
