Chapter 369 – #56. The Tiger in the Tiger’s Den (1)
“There are only conditions.”
“Conditions?”
“I didn’t want to leave your child in my hands, so you allowed me to use Gwan-i as an excuse, so shouldn’t I gain something too?”
“… I knew that too. You absolutely hate losing yourself.”
“Who am I to lose? You still have a long way to go beyond me!”
“So what do you want?”
I was already worried that the conditions presented by my mother-in-law would not be easy.
“If you’re going to make Guanyi your godmother, make sure you do it.”
“What do you mean by that? Make sure.”
“I’m sure she’s just saying she’s a godmother and not acknowledging anything, but there’s no hint of an ambiguous position. Recognize her as a proper godmother.”
“It can’t be. She asked us to be her godmother.”
She pretended not to be Yeonjoo’s older sister, but she wasn’t the mother-in-law who couldn’t feel it.
Isn’t this the one with a few snakes inside?
“No choice! Don’t pretend you don’t know Do you understand what I’m talking about? Anyway, I will send Gwan-i home, so know that.”
What is this again
“Yes? Sending him home, the coffin? Say something that makes sense!”
Yeonjoo’s older sister frowned at her mother-in-law’s point, as if she were annoyed.
But my mother-in-law was also a formidable person.
In order to carry out her own will, she began to push forward honestly.
“I was going to send a few people to protect Hyeon-oh anyway. What could be better than anyone else’s trustworthy Gwan-i, who can put her heart at ease.”
“You seem to have misunderstood, but educating Hyeon-oh starts after he becomes an adult.”
“I just need to stay by her side and protect her until she grows up!”
“It is my job to protect Hyeon-oh!”
I wasn’t expecting this, so I was quite embarrassed and couldn’t open my mouth.
Leaving behind the two people who had started to fight to the extent that I was used to it, I turned my gaze to Mr. Choi.
Even though it was her own business, she put on her grave expression as if it were someone else’s business.
Sister Yeonjo also pointed her finger at her and asked if she had seen Mr. Choi’s casual expression.
“Did he say he would do it gently? You’re the kid who never tried to get away from her mother’s side!”
“He ate a big heart for me. Isn’t that wonderful? He’s a child who never left my side, but you’re saying you’re going to sacrifice yourself to protect Hyeon-oh.”
“The two of you are really good partners. If that’s the case, there’s no need to bother us, right? It’s just the two of us, can’t we just live together?”
“Ugh!”
I didn’t know that the position of her godmother, which was proposed to get Hyeon-oh out of her mother-in-law’s obsession, would make things so twisted.
Sister Yeonjoo was dealing with her mother-in-law, tensed up to protect her child.
I couldn’t stand still for Hyeon-oh.
While I was sorting out my thoughts for a while, a loud voice came out between Yeonjoo’s sister, who said, “Absolutely not,” And her mother-in-law, who was resolute, saying, “It’s time for you guys to step back.”
“How do you know what you guys will whisper in his ear when I’m not there! Even if it’s a coffin, it’s safe to have it by your side!”
It is true that a child’s disposition is influenced at an early age.
But that was rather what we wanted to say.
Who knows what whispers he will whisper after entrusting the child to Mr. Choi.
‘There’s no way Kanna, who has grown up, can keep Choi Kwan-ssi in check.’
To be honest, even if Mr. Choi only frowned, it was clear that Kanna would be frightened and long.
“If you’re a coffin, can’t you trust Hyeon-oh and entrust him to him?”
“That is my mother’s idea. Hyeon-oh is still fully protected. If you come out like this, I’ll make the offer go away.”
“Whoever wants! I’ve already yielded once! Don’t try to test my patience.”
Where did the benevolent smile that the mother-in-law showed go, and the bloody eyes that seemed to immerse anyone in it poured out on Yeon-joo’s sister.
It was a fierce look that made my heart shrivel so much that I wondered if this was the ‘living’ that came out of the novel.
‘Wow, the real thing is real. It’s scary.’
It was not easy to overcome her mother-in-law’s extraordinary force, as she was a person who experienced mayhem before childbirth.
‘Still, isn’t it harder to endure than I thought?’
My body was nervous at the stimulation I felt for the first time, but as time passed, I quickly got used to it.
As expected, it seemed that ordinary people could not match the ability obtained by paying ‘coins’.
Yeon-joo was worried about me as she quickly brushed off the pressure she had experienced since childhood.
“I am not alone now. Be rude and they won’t bring you back. Don’t do anything you’ll regret.”
“Huh… Maa~”
My mother-in-law, who was very angry, looked at Hyeon-oh, who was whining just in time, and at me, then relaxed her eyes.
“Hey, my grandson. She was startled by her grandmother. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Hmmm! Emotions are running high from a conversation with her daughter. I hope you can give me some understanding. She’s just fine. What do you think? Do you think what I asked for was too much?”
“I know that Mr. Choi can be trusted and is close to my mother-in-law. However, I don’t think I can agree with the statement that they will invade our living space. Hyeon-oh is safely protected like Yeon-joo said, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Then you don’t like this either? Then what if the child gets kidnapped!”
Kidnapping, you say bloody words.
At this rate, I was worried that Hyun-oh might be attempting to kidnap the child himself to test whether it is safe.
“I also gave up once. Now is the moment for you to yield! Bring Guanyi home.”
“It would be uncomfortable for Choi Gwan-ssi to stay at our house, too. I heard that he has been by my mother-in-law’s side all her life. Hyeon-oh I just started babbling and walking. Even if Gwan-i comes home, there will be nothing to do.”
I tried to explain it as gently as possible, but he didn’t break his stubbornness even fighting Yeonjo-sister, but there was no way my words would work.
The place, which was expected to end warmly, became chilly as if it had become a major snow storm.
In the end, we returned home without any conclusions and decided to look for the next opportunity.
“The coffin forgot that he was his puppet. Let’s stop using her.”
“It was a pretty good plan, but are you really giving up?”
“Honestly, even if you seduce him, I don’t think he’ll think of you more than his mother.”
Yeonjoo’s older sister seemed to have taken a break from Choi Kwan.
With the situation like this, I thought I should wait and see the situation a little longer.
However, I think that was an act that looked down on her mother-in-law’s ability to act.
– A strange woman broke into the house!
“A strange woman?”
-That person says that he is the godmother of Master Hyeon-oh?
As soon as the word ‘godmother’ came out of Kanna’s mouth, I immediately understood how the situation was going.
“Never open the door and wait. I’ll go right away.”
-What if these people open the door and come in? Dark people came rushing in.
“I am not someone who would do harm to Hyeon-oh and you. Don’t worry, do you still have the thing I gave you last time?”
-Yes. Omg! Uh, what should I do? Who’s dragging the security staff!
“It’s okay, so calm down and wait a bit. I will go right away.”
I was the one who had given Kanna a few self-defense items in anticipation of an unexpected situation.
Even so, he knew that only Hyeon-oh and Kanna were left at home, so he immediately used an item to move closer to the house.
As Kanna said, our house was proudly occupied by women in black suits.
And I saw a familiar face among them.
As expected, it was Mr. Choi Kwan.
“What are you doing without contact?”
Because it was her rude visit, her voice that came out of her as soon as she saw her was never nice.
“Hello, brother-in-law.”
“… If you thought of me as your real brother-in-law, wouldn’t it be right that you shouldn’t have committed such rudeness?”
“I was just at the door. I didn’t go inside.”
If he had made up his mind, he could have gone inside, but he seems to have endured it out of consideration.
“I heard that people from the security service were forcibly captured. Where are they all?”
“Don’t worry, I’m guiding you well. There will be no physical threats. However, as I feared, the security was cool. Don’t worry about the security part in the future. I will take care of it myself.”
He reluctantly came to me, and now he says he will take care of the security himself.
“As far as I know, no decision has been made yet. Do you think that if you recklessly push in like this, you will be overthrown?”
“Didn’t you offer the position of godmother first? I intend to do my best for my nephew.”
Words that are said in a calm way are quite nerve-wracking.
Moreover, there was something more that had bothered me from before.
“What’s in that suitcase?”
“It is my burden.”
“Do you know that you are saying that you will live in my house without permission?”
Mr. Choi Kwan was working more boldly than he could have imagined.
She didn’t know that she would come into my house on her own.
“It’s not like you’re being notified, isn’t it? Go back.”
“I’m not going to continue like this here, but I’d like to go inside and have a deeper conversation.”
It was really brazen for someone who said he would enter someone else’s house without permission.
“I don’t want to take it home, what should I do?”
“Then it’s okay to go to a moderately quiet cafe nearby.”
As if Choi Kwan’s purpose was to have a conversation with me, she answered calmly.
In the end, I had no choice but to let her into her house.
He had no desire to run around with those women in black suits.
“Hick! Hey, are you bringing me in?”
She was horrified when Kanna returned to the house together after watching the situation with her face sticking out only her face.
I soothed her trembling Kanna and told Hyeon-oh to stay.
“Don’t worry. They are Yeonjoo sister’s family.”
“Ah…”
Kanna blinked her eyes as if she couldn’t believe my words, but when Choi Kwan’s gaze turned to her, she freaked out and ran into her room.
As expected, Kanna behaves like a herbivore who meets Choi Kwan’s natural enemy.
After sending Kanna, I sat Choi Kwan on the sofa, and I sat across from him.
“They’re not coming in.”
“Where are you taking them carelessly? Do not worry. The only time they enter the house is when there is an attack by someone. And I apologize for being rude today. I wanted to contact you in advance, but I couldn’t help but be rude because I didn’t think I would get permission.”
Mr. Choi Kwan apologized in a blunt, emotionless voice.
Just because he kneeled down and hit his head at his mother-in-law without hesitation, Choi Kwan would not be the kind of person who would easily apologize on a regular basis.
“It’s even more disappointing that such a polite person acted like that. Did your mother-in-law tell you to just push in like this?”
“Even a brother-in-law cannot tolerate being rude to the boss.”
A cold voice pierces your ears.
I decided to admit my mistake.
In the past, when I was confident that I could easily manipulate Mr. Choi, it was a mistake and a miscalculation.
‘Of course…’
Admitting my mistake doesn’t mean I can’t deal with Mr. Choi.
She needed to know that she had come into her tiger’s den by herself.
Even if you are a tiger.
