A Billionaire For Hanni

Chapter 39

Hanni had a problem that was called family. Her father and her mother came in Seoul only for see her and he new wife. Her father was so proud that finally Hanni was married with someone so rich and famous. The mother was happy for her because she knew in her hearth that Minji was a good woman that always loved her daughter, no matter what. She saw when she was at the weeding and the eyes of Minji were sparkling like a baby that have her desire in her hand.

The evening continued under a calm sky, but Hanni felt a growing unease in her heart, as if she were living in a bubble of falsehood that was about to burst at any moment. The dinner, carefully prepared by Minji, was a symphony of flavors, and Hanni's parents seemed delighted. Still, the atmosphere was subtly tense, as Hanni tried to hide her anxiety with a forced smile. Her mind was confused, torn between the unconditional love of her mother and the awareness that she was lying to herself and others.

Minji, as always, behaved with the utmost elegance. Every word, every gesture, seemed crafted to impress and gain the trust of Hanni's parents. She stood up to refill their wine glasses, and with a loving smile, she looked at Hanni. "You did a great job, sweetheart. Your family must be really proud of you," she said softly.

Hanni's father, with a satisfied smile, nodded. "And you, Minji, are truly a blessing for our daughter. No wonder Hanni is doing so well with the shop. With you by her side, she can't help but succeed."

Minji smiled, a sincere and affectionate smile. "Hanni has always had incredible talent. I'm just happy to support her, but her hard work and dedication are what really drive her forward. I feel very lucky to be part of her journey."

"And I'm proud to see how you've opened the shop, Hanni," Hanni's father continued, looking at his daughter with a proud expression. "Seeing you reach all these milestones, with Minji's support... it's every parent's dream. A daughter who marries a successful person and finds fulfillment in everything she does."

Minji looked at Hanni with affection, but her eyes betrayed a certain serenity that wasn't just about the perfect dinner. It was clear that Minji was trying to convey a sense of security, of calmness, as if she wanted to assure Hanni's parents that she was there to stay, ready to face whatever life threw at them, together with their daughter.

Her father, smiling with satisfaction, continued speaking with Minji. "I see that you're really involved in Hanni's project. How much have you contributed to all this? We must admit, without you, it might have been difficult to get everything started."

Minji cleared her throat and gently put her wine glass down. "Hanni is truly capable. I'm happy to give her some advice and support, but her determination is what made this shop possible. I feel very fortunate to be part of her journey."

Meanwhile, Hanni's mother, who had been listening attentively to the conversation, couldn't hide her curiosity, especially regarding Minji. Her mind was racing. Though she seemed visibly happy to see her daughter settled and happy, there was something she couldn't quite grasp completely. Minji appeared perfect: kind, caring, a steadfast support for Hanni, but her mother couldn't help but wonder what her real role in her daughter's life was.

After letting the conversation between the two continue for a while, Hanni's mother finally spoke, her tone gentle but inquisitive. "Minji, I must say we're really impressed by the support you give Hanni, by your care and efforts. But, if I may ask... what is your goal in all of this? I mean, what made you choose Hanni?"

Minji paused for a moment, as if the question was a little harder than she expected. However, her smile didn't waver, and she replied calmly. "Hanni is an incredible person. When I met her, I immediately saw her potential. She's not just a person with extraordinary talent; she's also a strong, independent woman. I never thought of it as a choice between Hanni and anyone else; I chose her because I believe in her, in who she is. My goal, if I'm honest, is simply to be a support, to help her grow, and I hope we can build something meaningful together."
