HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 233: Daughter-In-Law (2)

Kang Ra-Eun had been put in a situation far more difficult than the Ahn Su-Jin kidnapping incident. Ji Han-Seok’s parents were laughing in joy as they were laser focused on her, and Chairman Ji was there as well. She couldn’t help but feel like she was in pins and needles from having to deal with Han-Seok’s family members without Han-Seok.

“Umm, is sunbae not with you?”

Ra-Eun decided to ask about Han-Seok’s whereabouts. She personally wanted to complain to him about why he hadn’t let her know who would be joining them; she would never have come if Han-Seok had let her know in advance. Although it was not Han-Seok’s fault, she felt the need to complain to someone.

‘Even if I have to let off steam, I should do it after I get out of this situation.’

Ra-Eun secretly took out her smartphone and quickly texted someone. Soon afterward, Ji Yeong-Seok laid down his chopsticks and showed displeasure on his face after having checked his own smartphone.

“Father. I got a text from Han-Seok.”

“From Han-Seok?” Chairman Ji asked.

“Yes. It seems like he came back home earlier than we had expected.”

“But he said he would be back at around 9 PM after his film shoot. Why is he back so early?”

Ra-Eun answered their query, “I heard there’s been an issue with the shoot location, so a few of the scenes to be shot there had been delayed.”

Hence, Han-Seok’s part in today’s film shoot had ended earlier than expected. Ra-Eun knew the exact circumstances because they were working on the same film together.

Yeong-Seok seemed troubled, and it wasn’t hard for Ra-Eun to guess why.

“I’m sure he’d get super mad if he found out we’re with Ra-Eun right now.”

They had kept their meeting with Ra-Eun a secret from Han-Seok, which was why they had been troubled to hear that Han-Seok had come home early. Ra-Eun clicked her tongue inside her head.

‘I knew it.’

Considering Han-Seok’s personality, there was no way that he would have kept quiet about a meeting like this since he had no idea what his parents would tell Ra-Eun.

Chairman Ji remarked, “We should go, then.”

“I agree.”

Lee Hwa-Yeong expressed the most disappointment out of the three. They had practically finished eating, and had no choice but to leave after finishing the sweet bean jelly and tea that had been served as dessert.

Hwa-Yeong walked right up to Ra-Eun as Chairman Ji and Yeong-Seok went to pay for their meal.

“I heard you also run a business, Ra-Eun,” she expressed.

She had all of a sudden begun to speak casually toward Ra-Eun.

Ra-Eun nodded and replied, “Yes. It’s a small clothing business named Levanche.”

Although Levanche had become far too big to call a ‘small’ business, its size was nothing compared to Do-Dam Group.

“Isn’t it exhausting to juggle both acting and business?” Hwa-Yeong asked.

“People ask me that all the time, but I don’t find it all that exhausting. I think it’s because I like doing it.”

She did not find it difficult because Park Seol-Hun oversaw most of the company’s tasks; all Ra-Eun did was give her approval on important projects. However, Hwa-Yeong did not know this. Her eyes began to sparkle once again.
