After experiencing a tragic car accident, Liu Zhengjie, whose ancestors were from China and who was now an ordinary Korean worker, woke up to find himself the eldest son of the powerful Korean chae...
Park Jin Hyuk stood up politely.
Han Junhuan continued:
"This is my wife and children. My eldest son was admitted to a prestigious university this time, and he got in entirely on his own ability. As for the second son, he's not very talkative, is listless, and always causes trouble. I hope my son-in-law will take good care of them in the future."
"I should be the one saying this. We're a family from now on, so please take care of me."
"Okay, don't be polite."
Park Jin Hyuk sat down again.
Strangely, when he greeted everyone, none of Han Ji-yeon's family members reacted.
"Normally, for the first formal introduction, both sets of parents should be present... Since it's the end of the year, I was thinking of having dinner together so we can get to know each other better. Do you mind?"
If the parents of both sides were to meet formally, they might be able to bring their son, but the second and third wives would not be able to attend. Therefore, Han Junhuan organized today's dinner.
"I think it's good to get to know each other first, like today."
"Well, a few days ago, I met with Chairman Park. He said that two children in the DS family are already planning weddings next year, so he hopes that you and Jiyeon will get engaged next year and then hold your wedding the year after."
It seems that Park Jun-wan is still making his own plans for Park Jin-hyuk's marriage.
However, there are others who share the same idea as him.
"It's not bad to get married the year after next. We can stagger the dates."
Hearing what the Second Madam said, the proprietress echoed:
"Sister, you have a point. It's rare to have two weddings in a year, let alone three... especially for a family as big as DS."
"Yeah, Jiyeon isn't that old yet, there's no need to be so anxious."
"Let's get engaged first, and then have the wedding next year."
Han Junhuan interrupted, and the two of them sang in unison.
"Not the year after next. To avoid any unnecessary complications, the wedding should be held as soon as possible. What do you think?"
Han Jun-hwan looked at Park Jin-hyuk.
"I also think the sooner the better."
Hearing that Park Jin Hyuk agreed with his opinion, Han Junhuan nodded.
He has clearly expressed his opinion to Park Jun-wan that his daughter's marriage to Park Jin-hyuk must be arranged next year.
Because Park Junwan wanted to get Qingyu Energy as soon as possible, he agreed to his in-laws' plan.
The two of them agreed that Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon's wedding will be held between April and May next year.
Park Sang-hyuk's wedding was originally scheduled for March, but was moved forward to January; Park Seo-eun will get engaged in March and hold her wedding in October.
The proprietress of Qingyi Pavilion said:
"Let's just have the wedding without an engagement ceremony... Jiyeon, do you think that's okay?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, sister? Please say something. Aren't you in a hurry to get your daughter out of the house?"
The second wife said to Li Zhenshu.
Li Zhenshu did not answer, but just glanced at her, as if Han Zhiyan's marriage had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that Li Zhenshu remained silent, the second wife turned to the proprietress and said:
"Sister, what do you think? Our family's first marriage didn't even have an engagement ceremony. Isn't that too inappropriate?"
"Yeah, how can we not have an engagement ceremony? While doing the engagement, we can also confirm the guests' schedules... If the guests we must invite are not available, we have to adjust the wedding schedule. Um... We have to invite the president, right? The time has to be arranged according to the president's schedule, right?"
The proprietress started talking nonsense, so the second wife turned to her son.
Seeing this, his son said:
"...Brother-in-law, I often hear people talk about you and how you were when you were studying in the United States."
The Second Lady continued:
"Ah~, I've also heard from your mother, Ms. Wu, that you used to cause the adults a lot of worry. But, everyone was young once... You're not using drugs now, are you? You can't touch that stuff."
"I've also heard about my brother-in-law's drug addiction. I think he was even arrested in the US. Luckily, no one in China knows about it."
"Yeah, if it gets out, it will be terrible."
The second wife and her son chatted back and forth, and the conversation became more and more lively.
However, Park Jin Hyuk, the person involved, just looked at them and smiled without saying a word.
On the contrary, Han Ji-yeon felt very sorry. She whispered to Park Jin-hyuk:
"I'm sorry, but these people are really going too far."
Park Jin Hyuk patted her hands gently, meaning that it was okay for them to say it.
The person involved didn't react. Did he seem guilty? The Second Madam became even more reckless.
"Ji Yan, I heard he has a lot of girlfriends, so you have to keep a close eye on him from now on..."
"Brother-in-law, the group you founded when you were studying abroad is still there. It's not easy to join that group."
"What kind of group is it?"
The son leaned close to his mother's ear and whispered something.
"Oh, really? There's such a group?"
The second wife looked at her son in surprise.
"You can't participate!"
"How could I? I'm so busy with my schoolwork, how can I have time to chase girls and take yummy drugs...Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, did I say too much?"
After hearing this, the third wife turned around and asked her son beside her if he had ever heard of such a thing.
Park Jin Hyuk watched patiently the performance that had been rehearsed long ago.
During this time, he turned his head from time to time to look at Han Junhuan. Han Junhuan looked at his wife and sons, and talked about his future son-in-law, but he looked indifferent.
Han Ji-yeon's expression became increasingly ugly, but she had no way to refute.
Finally, the wine and sumptuous dishes were served.
"Come on, let's drink and chat, son-in-law, I'll pour you a glass first..."
As he spoke, Han Junhuan filled Park Jin Hyuk's glass with wine.
When taking the wine, Park Jin Hyuk glanced at Han Jun Hwan who seemed indifferent.
He finally understood that all this was just the result of Han Junhuan's indulgence.
The two wives from outside the family wanted to ruin the marriage. Han Junhuan might not think so, but he was happy to see someone give Park Jin Hyuk a warning. He wanted to see how Park Jin Hyuk would react to such embarrassment.
"Haha, in that case, I won't hesitate to play with you guys."
Thinking of this, Park Jin Hyuk picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Seeing that Park Jin Hyuk had no reaction, the two wives became even more presumptuous.
"Ji Yan, do you not care? Your son-in-law is so capable. There must be many women around a capable man."
"Sister, don't forget that Jiyeon is also busy. Do you remember that guy from before?"
"Ah~ That guy? Yeah, Jiyeon has quite a few boyfriends."
The second wife's son interrupted again:
"I'm more worried about my brother-in-law than my sister."
"Why?"
"Drugs are not something that can be quit easily."
As he said this, he glanced at Park Jin Hyuk.
"Yeah, I once heard Director Wu say that the child at home has a bad temper... Son-in-law, you must not fight with Zhiyan in the future."
