Han Zhiyan said disdainfully:
"Are you my mother?"
"Of course. Is she your sister?"
"I advise you not to talk about this today, so as to avoid upsetting everyone."
"This kid, he's about to get married, why is he still so aggressive..."
Han Ji-yeon snorted and ignored her.
Then, the lady boss turned to Park Jin Hyuk and said:
"Please wait a moment, the president and the sisters will be here soon... Jiyeon, your brothers also want to come and see their brother-in-law."
Han Ji-yeon still didn't answer, so the proprietress turned around and left with a smile.
Park Jin Hyuk calmly said to Han Ji Yeon:
"Don't be angry. It's because you always react so strongly that the other person behaves like that."
Then, he looked at the furnishings in the private room and said:
“The restaurant’s exterior is very retro, but the interior is very modern.”
Seeing that Park Jin Hyuk was trying to change the subject, Han Ji Yeon said:
"I'm so sorry..."
"Why do you say that?"
"...for you to come to a family dinner like this."
"You didn't invite me here, your father did, so you don't have to feel sorry."
Han Ji-yeon lowered her head and said:
"There will be many more occasions like this in the future. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it."
Park Jin Hyuk looked at her.
"Everyone has an embarrassing past, isn't it the same for me? There's no need to hide anything between us. As long as we're human, we probably have an embarrassing side. So hold your head high and live the rest of your life well."
After hearing his words, Han Ji-yeon raised her head and a smile appeared on her face.
Park Jin Hyuk nodded.
"That's great. There's no need to be dejected. No matter how high I reach in the future, I hope you'll be able to stand by me. So be brave. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open.
"Oh, am I late?"
Seeing Han Junhuan coming in, Park Jin Hyuk stood up and said:
"No, we just arrived too."
Han Zhiyan stood up with him, lowered her head and said:
"You're here."
Han Junhuan was very happy.
"Seeing you two together, it feels like a perfect match."
Following Han Junhuan were his family, Ms. Jin, the general manager of Qingyu Art Center, and a thin woman.
"This is the general manager of Qingyu Art Center. I heard you've already met him?"
"Yes, once."
"Then there's no need for introduction..."
When Han Junhuan first introduced his wife, the thin woman looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"It seems this is his legal wife. If I don't introduce her first, it would be really..."
"This is my wife... Say hello, this is our future son-in-law."
Park Jin Hyuk bowed his head and said:
"First meeting, I'm Park Jin Hyuk."
"I heard that I am..."
The woman stopped and glanced at Han Ji-yeon. Seeing that Han Ji-yeon lowered her head and had a stern face, she continued:
"I'm Lee Jung-sook."
Han Junhuan said:
"Why are you all standing? Sit down, son-in-law. Jiyeon, you sit down too. Hurry up and bring the wine. I want to have a drink with my son-in-law."
"Husband, how can you just drink right away in this kind of situation? Don't you have to talk first?"
"It's more fun to drink and talk."
Han Junhuan's second wife, Ms. Jin, the general manager of the art center, affectionately called Han Junhuan "husband", but his wife Li Zhenshu's face showed no reaction.
Park Jin Hyuk couldn't help but think, living with three women at the same time, this is really...
At this time, Han Ji-yeon was already wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
She never invites friends home because she doesn't want outsiders to see such an embarrassing scene.
Today, it can be said that for the first time in my life, I showed my family to an outsider. It was as if I was stripped naked in broad daylight.
"Husband, you're here."
Before he finished speaking, Han Junhuan's third wife, the proprietress of Qingyi Pavilion, walked in.
"Hubby, I was so busy preparing dinner that I didn't even know you were here."
Han Ji-yeon buried her head even lower.
"Come and sit down too. Let others prepare the food, isn't that enough?"
"This is the children's first time here, so I have to prepare everything myself. I'm done now... Sisters, are you here?"
The proprietress finished her words and reluctantly greeted the other two women.
"Well, come and sit down."
The second wife at least responded, but the first wife Li Zhenshu didn't even look at her.
Han Junhuan seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene and said:
"I heard that my sons are coming too. Why are they here?"
The proprietress replied:
"The kids all wanted to meet their brother-in-law, so I asked them to come... Son-in-law, it's okay, Jiyeon, is it okay for me to call him that? Remember you said you didn't know when you'd get married."
When she said this, the proprietress had a smile on her face, but everyone could tell that there was something else behind her words.
Park Jin Hyuk smiled but did not answer.
Seeing that no one responded to her, the proprietress looked at the second wife awkwardly.
So the second wife took over the conversation.
"Son-in-law, you must be very busy at the end of the year. Please forgive me for bothering you to join our family dinner at this time."
Park Jin Hyuk couldn't help but speak.
"Since the president has informed me, I have to come no matter how busy I am."
"Why do you say that? It's as if you're not here for Jiyeon, but for the chairman. Anyone who hears it will feel that you're not getting married for love, but just a business marriage."
Han Ji-yeon was about to explode, but Park Jin-hyuk spoke first.
"Does anyone around here think that my marriage to Ji-yeon is based on love, rather than a business marriage?"
Han Ji-yeon looked at Park Jin-hyuk angrily, not expecting him to say that.
The second wife didn't expect that Park Jin Hyuk not only did not refute her, but agreed with what she said.
Seeing that the second wife was silent, Park Zhenhe continued:
"Mr. Jin, thank you for your kind reminder. For a family like ours, even if we were married out of love, no one would believe it... You may not understand this, but I'm telling you in advance. It will be helpful when your son is looking for a marriage partner."
Speaking of the second wife's son, the door was opened and two young men in their twenties walked in.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Seeing her son coming, the second wife immediately smiled.
"Come in and sit down."
Unlike the second wife's son, the third wife's son seemed a little shy. After greeting everyone softly, he sat next to his mother.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Han Junhuan said:
"Is everyone here? Let me introduce you. This is Jiyeon's fiancé, Park Jin Hyuk, the eldest son of DS Group and currently the chairman of DS Telecom."
