Chapter 370 – #56. The Tiger in the Tiger’s Den (2)
In fact, it is not a bad thing for Mr. Choi to come into the house.
Rather, it was a welcome thing to provide an excuse to meet frequently in a position where I had to seduce Choi Gwan-ssi to my side.
But to those who dare to step in just because the circumstances are, yes! I didn’t want to say it right away.
If you have to accept it, shouldn’t you try to get what you can get?
“I think we need to clear up a misunderstanding before we talk.”
“Are you wrong?”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
“It’s true that I was rude, but I didn’t bring my luggage to the carrier to live here right away.”
“You didn’t come to live with me?”
“I have concluded a contract with the house right next door.”
“Next door? Are you talking about the house over there?”
“Yes, that’s right. The boss bought it and gave it to me to buy.”
It feels like a luxurious mansion to say that we are next-door cousins.
And, as is the case these days, I didn’t know who lived in that house, but it seemed that my mother-in-law, who was extremely good at acting, bought the house next door.
Since the neighborhood itself corresponds to a wealthy village, it would have been a deal with a lot of premium to purchase the desired house.
“Is it really necessary to do this? I think you acted too hastily.”
“It is to keep my nephew safe. The boss is considering buying the house across the street as well. It’s just that the owner was out of the country, so the contract couldn’t go through quickly.”
“Are you going to buy all four sides of our house and build a fortress?”
“I would do anything for my nephew.”
Silently makes a loud noise.
I shook my head and said.
“Stop it. As I have said time and time again, the child is safe.”
I asked him to stop again and again, but Choi Kwan-ssi did not listen.
“If that’s the case, I’ll have to completely withdraw my proposal for the position of her godmother, just like Yeonjoo said. I thought he was a good person, but I think I misunderstood the person.”
“My brother-in-law may have started it, but he cannot stop it. Boss has already made up his mind.”
“Kwani is in a position where she must follow her mother-in-law’s will, but I am not like that. Choi Kwan is not the godmother of Hyeon-oh yet, and this kind of approach is very unpleasant.”
“I assure you, you did a good job by offering me to be your godmother. Because the boss made me take a step back. If it hadn’t been for that suggestion, the boss would have started interfering even more persistently than this. He is someone who will do anything to get what he wants.”
A pretty chilling threat ensues.
To be honest, I’m getting a little bored now.
These people seem to be the kind of people who have to be accompanied by threats when they have a conversation.
What’s so absurd about her is that she often gets chills down the back of her head knowing that her threats are genuine.
‘Should I just brainwash them with items?’
Living in a world where there is nothing I can’t do with items, I tend to be self-reliant because if I don’t set the line, something big will happen.
Moreover, brainwashing my woman’s family?
Is it something you promised you would never do?
I know that there is an easy way, but it hurt my pride to cross the line just to be comfortable.
Because using brainwashing is like admitting that I screwed things up because of my lack of ability.
“Then, the relationship between us and my mother-in-law will go to an irreversible level. It’s unfortunate, but I have no intention of compromising anything related to Hyeon-oh.”
“Aren’t you afraid? Or are you saying this because you don’t know?”
“Yes?”
“If you can’t guess what the boss is trying to do, I can give you some examples. I didn’t want you to know for the sake of your brother-in-law’s mental health, but seeing that you’re not able to grasp the situation this far, I can’t help but say a few words out of concern.”
I don’t know whether to listen or not.
Not wanting to hear how far gangsters can bully people, she shook her head and refused.
“I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t want to hear it.”
What else could they do other than torturing people?
I have no intention of hearing anything like that.
“… You see. I’m here to stop what my brother-in-law doesn’t even want to hear about. So you are in a position to thank me.”
There was only one reason Choi Kwan could maintain his confidence as he is now.
The justification that she restrained her mother-in-law’s unexpected behavior.
I also used Mr. Choi for that part, so even if the situation was a little twisted, it did not mean that she did not achieve her purpose.
She can’t stay at odds and confrontation forever.
I slowly decided to proceed with the conversation at this point.
He saw that if he showed more resistance here, the position could be destroyed.
“Does that mean Choi Gwan-ssi will protect us?”
“You’re right. And I intend to continue to do so.”
“To be honest, that doesn’t really make sense. I guess it’s because we know that Mr. Choi is not the one who works for us.”
In the end, it meant that if my mother-in-law wanted something, he would always betray us.
Choi Kwan also expressed her mother-in-law’s fear again, as if she couldn’t lie even though they knew each other well.
“… The boss is much colder and more fearful than your brother-in-law thinks. If I hadn’t persuaded the boss to become her godmother, she might even be thinking of kidnapping. He is accustomed to stealing by force.”
You really meant to try it?
It’s ridiculous.
You think you’ll be treated kindly for doing such a thing, but I’m not a very easygoing person.
“Abduction is probably the most moderate of the extreme methods. The boss’s concern for the successor is stronger than I thought.”
“Is kidnapping a benign method?”
“As for the non-moderate method, there are some filthy parts to tell you about. For example, bribing people around your nephew would be an example. Other than that, you’re interfering with the lady’s work, or even worse, your brother-in-law’s work.”
Choi Kwan’s words clearly crossed the line.
If I had put it into practice, I would not have stood still.
“After all, when mother-in-law thinks things aren’t going well, he uses tyrannical methods, which means he won’t hesitate.”
“In the first place, the boss is the one who lived like that. It’s not a very special job. And like I said before, I will do my best to prevent that from happening.”
“I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. How are you going to stop it?”
Being threatened is a day or two, and now it’s boring and boring.
“I will be by my nephew’s side. As a godmother, as you suggested.”
“The reason I suddenly changed my mind after first proposing the role of godmother was because I realized that Choi Kwan was not someone who would truly be Hyeon-oh’s godmother. You are the one who moves not for Hyeon-oh, but for her mother-in-law.”
Honestly, if your mother-in-law asks you to kidnap Hyeon-oh, this person will be the first to reach out.
That’s why I need this person’s blind affection.
To protect Hyeon-oh from her mother-in-law by making her love me more than her mother-in-law.
“It is true that I follow the boss. Even now, when he says he will protect his nephew, he won’t mind dying for the boss. But I know. I know it will be bad for both of you if things fall out between you two.”
True loyalists do not spare bitter remonstrance.
Mr. Choi Kwan was expressing that he was not a flatterer like a treacherous person.
“That is something I am concerned about. It’s already a twisted relationship, and if it goes further here, it won’t be good for each other.”
Even though I’ve been threatened a lot in the past few days, I still want Yeon Yeon-nim to reconcile with my mother-in-law.
“So I’m out! You don’t show it, but I know. How much he missed her I am worried that the boss will cross the road of no return because of my nephew.”
For the first time, Kwan Choi and I agreed in terms of the need to restore the relationship between the two.
“Looking at it now, it seems that the purpose is to reconcile the two of you?”
“Protecting my nephew is one of my purposes.”
It’s just that the intended purpose is not one.
I had other ulterior motives as well, so there was nothing wrong with that.
The conversation, which started in an inhospitable atmosphere, seemed to unravel unexpectedly.
“From my point of view, it was a very big decision to go against the will of the boss. It’s an aberration I would never have thought of if it wasn’t for the boss.”
“Do you have any other plans? If I cooperate, do you think there is a possibility that the two of you can work out?”
It’s not a relationship that can be solved just by me persuading my sister.
However, there was a good chance if he agreed with Choi Kwan, who could persuade his mother-in-law.
“The boss really loves her nephew. I wonder if the young lady will return her heart if she interacts positively with her nephew.”
“What does a positive exchange mean?”
“Since you entrusted me with education, the boss will only meet her nephew in her grandmother’s place. Since the concerns of the young lady and her brother-in-law have been resolved, can’t she trust her?”
I hoped for that and made her godmother Choi Kwan, and she seemed to know that too.
“After all, she means that she wants to meet her mother-in-law and Hyeon-oh often from now on. The question is whether I can trust Mr. Choi or not. What will she do if what Mr. Choi is saying now is a blatant lie?”
The question now is whether or not I believe in Choi Gwan and agree with her.
In this part, it was necessary for me to trust Mr. Choi.
“I will do my best to build trust. That’s why I moved to the next door and there. In order to build trust, shouldn’t we know something about each other first?”
“I don’t know if that will be because I am such a busy person.”
“Then how about doing this?”
“How?”
Her Mr. Choi tugged at her expressionless face, slightly raising the corners of her mouth, her smile, and she whispered in a meaningful voice.
“I will protect her brother-in-law. Please watch over me by her side and see for yourself what kind of person I am.”
Are you protecting me?
“Mr. Choi Gwan, didn’t she come here to protect her?”
“My kids will keep a tight guard around the house, and I will keep an eye on it. However, in order to gain trust, I will temporarily stay by my brother-in-law’s side.”
“I’m going to be a personal bodyguard…”
She is a woman who is tantamount to Jin’s heir to a gangster organization that rules the entire country.
She was stunned when she said that such a woman would be my bodyguard.
“I am confident that spending time together will build trust in me. And in fact, not only my nephew but also my brother-in-law are important identities to me to protect.”
“Your sister will hate it.”
“It is impossible for me to convince you, lady. So persuasion shouldn’t be my part. Since you liked my suggestion, is it possible for you to cooperate to some extent?”
Are you able to cooperate?
Of course it is possible.
Moreover, it was a waste not to snatch the opportunity that came rolling in on its own.
It was her need to keep her by her side as well.
If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s that her goals don’t seem to end in two.
‘It seems that the purpose of bringing Hyeon-oh often for her mother-in-law and to reconcile her and her mother-in-law seems to be right, but that doesn’t seem to be everything.’
How far does that woman really have a plan, and what other purpose is she hiding?
It took time to dig into it.
“Okay, I’ll try to convince you of that part.”
“Good idea. You won’t regret it.”
Mr. Choi Kwan suddenly held out his hand.
She unknowingly took her hand, and she shook her hand neatly and dropped off.
“Please take good care of me for the time being!”
It was a brief encounter, but the touch of Mr. Choi’s calluses and her scars, which she felt in an instant, were exceptionally deep.
