When the Phone Rings

Part 27

The second floor of a hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul.Frankly speaking, from the moment Xizhu entered here, she felt suppressed.Core government officials such as the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, ministers of various ministries, chief political affairs chief, and chief social affairs chief, as well asBig figures in politics, business, finance, labor, culture and sports, media and academiaAll gathered here.Even at a glance, the number of people standing in line here should not be underestimated."Oh, Bai son-in-law!"At this time, Jin Yanxi, who was waiting for guests at the entrance, looked over.She was obviously more happy to see her son-in-law than her own daughter."I heard that Congressman Bai and Shanjing Daily are getting married. Is it true?""Isn't this the first time you bring your wife to attend today?""Congressman Bai is officially preparing to run for president..."

All kinds of whispers reached Bai Siyan's ears in unison.Curious eyes soon spread to the woman holding his arm next to him.Although Xizhu felt like she was getting goosebumps, she still calmly looked forward.Today she has only one mission.'It's just a decoration. '

At this time, Jin Yanxi squeezed her way in front of the young couple in the crowd."Why did you come together? I thought you wouldn't come.""How are you?""Of course it's good, how could I not feel good about it?"Despite the cold greeting to Bai Siyan, she still smiled brightly."But, son-in-law Bai, can I borrow my daughter?"The man frowned slightly, but finally nodded.However, Hee Joo instinctively grabbed his elbow tightly."...!"Her unintentional move caused the cold face to touch her tangled arm.Xizhu came back to her senses and quickly let go of her hand, but Bai Siyan frowned and looked at her carefully.he muttered under his breath.

"Don't leave?""...."Their eyes met.The cold eyes were still the same, but slightly different."as if......"No matter what you ask for, he will agree to it...Xizhu shook her head."What a ridiculous idea...!"

She shook her head slightly again."Hee Joo."At this time, my mother intervened, instantly breaking the delicate atmosphere."How can you bother Mr. Bai so much?"She pulls Hee Joo to her side.Mom pushed Xizhu's back and told Bai Siyan not to worry.The man stood there, frowning. That face looked very stubborn, Xizhu couldn't help but turn her headgo."you......!"Mother lowered her voice and pulled Xizhu to the corner.Even so, she still maintained an elegant smile and greeted everyone she met."What the hell is going on with your dad...!"But when there were only two people left, her expression instantly became as ferocious as a yaksha."I heard he moved to a nursing home.""..."

"Why would Mr. Bai know the news about your father? Could it be that... he was discovered?"Xizhu reluctantly nodded, and then received a severe scolding."You finally exposed your poor dad."The corners of my mother's mouth trembled slightly."What's there to show off? Mr. Bai discovered it?"

"...""What if someone sees her as a sinister woman who takes care of her ex-husband behind her back? What if President Hong finds out?What will happen. I also supported you without telling him. This is my last indulgence...!"She held Xizhu's arm tightly, trembling slightly.Xizhu understood that her mother was suppressing her anger, but at the same time, she also felt Jin Yanxi's shame.In the past before becoming a madam, she had relied on a voice to make ends meet in her first marriage.She hates thinking about this more than she would die. That strong denial made Hee Joo even more hurt."If you make me angry again, send your dad to a mental hospital instead of a nursing home.""...!"

Xizhu's eyes widened stubbornly."Whether it's a fight or calling the police, don't make a fuss in the city. Anyway, he's an old man.A few teeth are nothing. Try it if Chairman Hong's name is involved. "Faced with this threatening warning, Xizhu gritted her teeth."What's going on with you kid..."Jin Yanxi sighed and shook her head."You still don't know what's more important.""...""Either deal with your dad's matter quietly, or if that doesn't work, cover it up."Although her eyes were cold, she ruffled her hair gracefully.Soon, my mother's eyes locked on one place. That was Bai Siyan surrounded by a crowd."Originally, this position is too high for you. Now that you know it, you must perform well."
