Chapter 1231 – 1 Billion? What. Is It Cheaper Than You Think?
I thought it would take quite a while since President Park’s house is far away from the villa he rented as accommodation and the work time overlaps. But that thought was wrong.
“Uh? Hey. “What is that?”
However, Taeyeon, who was driving, was embarrassed for a completely different reason. I was able to ignore the fact that I arrived earlier than expected, but I couldn’t do that with the iron gate that suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
“Hey. What. “Why is that there?”
Taeyeon locked the side brake and tried to unfasten her seatbelt as if she wanted to get out and check. Sehee stopped her by holding her with her delicate hands.
“Aunt. Aunt. “You can’t get off.”
“Hey. “Why?”
“I feel like a robber.”
“I’m falling behind.”
“No, really. It’s a real robbery.”
“Oh, crazy. Really.”
Although I was dumbfounded by Sehee’s words, I fastened my seatbelt again. I watched them from the backseat and stuck my head out between the front seats.
“What? “Why is the gate here?”
I was so dumbfounded that I had to repeat the question Taeyeon had asked. An iron gate blocked the two-lane road, and a fence like a castle wall was built around it.
Sigh, it’s a bit weird… !
At this time, the iron gate began to open with an annoying metallic sound. Taeyeon looked like she could come in and while Taeyeon released the side brake, the devil sitting next to me explained what was going on.
“Because this is a fairly wealthy village. “Sometimes there are robbers waiting around here.”
“Is this a slum by any chance?”
Haha, I just said it was a wealthy village.”
“Why are there robbers in wealthy villages?”
“If there is supply, there must be demand. Just as flies are always attracted to fatty food!”
“Oh, what is it? I came to America for no reason… !”
Haha! “Nothing has happened yet!”
The Demon King laughed and told the story that there were robbers in what was said to be a rich neighborhood. I was astounded when I saw such a demon lord.
“Wow, wow… !”
Meanwhile, Taeyeon started the car. The wealthy village they entered looked luxurious enough for Yena to gaze in fascination.
“Red, Min-ah! “How much does a house like that cost?”
Yena asked, pointing to the mansion that appeared shortly after entering. Minah looked out the window of her car with Yena, and she answered with a blunt face.
“The current market price of Berkeley Lake is about $750,000.”
“750,000 dollars? How much is that in Korean currency?”
“It’s about 1 billion won.”
“1 billion? What. “It’s cheaper than I thought?”
“?!”
The people who said they didn’t do much weren’t the daughters of rich families or the owners of small businesses. As their husband, I wasn’t either.
“Roughly speaking, I thought it would be a few tens of billions.”
These were the words of Taeyeon, a current police officer who grew up as a commoner like me. As she leisurely drove her car, she made a joke that wasn’t a joke.
“But, hey. Can’t you just live with 1 billion won? “Why don’t you buy one since you’re here?”
“They don’t have that kind of money.”
“Aunt. “Do you have 1 billion?”
“Where do I get that kind of money?”
It seemed like he had finally realized that we were looking at him. Embarrassed, Taeyeon tried to resolve the situation by glancing away from her driving, but she had too many things to make fun of.
“I just tried it. “What are you accepting as a documentary?”
“Ugh! Of course, it’s Taeyeon! “I can’t believe I already received 1 billion won in kickbacks from the police!”
“No, no?! Why would I accept something like that?!”
“Oh, yes. That’s right. I have to pretend it’s not. Otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble.”
“I’m in real trouble!” And I just said it as a joke,”
“Taeyeon. “Is there a money laundering method you recommend?”
“Is there anything! No, but you’re just asking, right? Right? Hey! Answer me!”
“Taeyeon. Your house, that’s 1 billion? Current price?”
“Is that so! That’s only half of it! “That’s the only increase!”
“Mom. “Are we actually rich?”
“Uh, uhh, I’m not that rich! My love for Yena is so rich! He’s such a tycoon! Okay, daughter?”
None of us denied that statement. There were some aspects that he had shown so far, but the main reason was that it was still too early to stop playing around.
“Oh, really! “Why do you pretend to know then?”
The joking stopped only after Taeyeon said she regretted our reunion. She also giggled as if it was fun.
“Uh, hey. Here.”
It seemed like we had just arrived at our destination. Taeyeon gave a small exclamation as she slowed down her car and entered the road leading to the garage.
“Oh, is it okay here?”
“Why? “Would you like to buy it here with that 1 billion won?”
“Do you want to rummage?”
“Why do you keep fighting?”
While stopping Sehee and Taeyeon, I went to see President Park’s house. The two-story building made of red brick was not as sophisticated as the original home of Mawang and Sehee. However, the stateliness and luxury that came with it remained.
“Uh, come on. Get down.”
Meanwhile, Taeyeon parked her car in front of a closed garage and applied the side brake. With those words spoken, we all unfastened our seat belts and went outside into the cold wind.
“Ugh, it’s cold. It wasn’t that cold before.”
“It’s colder because there’s an artificial lake nearby. Come on, let’s go in.”
“Brother. “You brought wine, right?”
“I took care of it, Sehee.”
“Daughter. It’s cold, right? “Let’s go in.”
“Ugh! It’s okay!”
I hurried to the front door, shivering a little because the weather was colder than I expected. I stood in front of the brightly lit front door and, as the representative among us, knocked on the door.
Knock
“Hello? Is anyone there?”
“Why are you asking that? And why are you asking that?”
Haha, that’s the rule of the country.”
I lightly glared at the demon king who was asking me as if I was looking around a haunted house. Immediately after that, the sound of someone approaching was heard in a brightly lit room.
Dalkak
“Hi~?”
The person who opened the door and appeared was not President Park, who had invited us. She was a white woman with black hair who appeared to be about the same age as President Park. She scanned us with her brown eyes, then met me and asked.
“Are you Mr. Kang by any chance?”
“Oh, yes. “I am Kang Ji-heon.”
“Nice to meet you! I’m Berry. Berry, Park!”
Considering that they were similar in age and had the same last name, she seemed to be President Park’s wife. She shook my hand briefly and invited us into the warm air.
“Come in! Let’s say the rest inside!”
“Come in.”
“I know what computer means, right?”
Except for Taeyeon, who spoke bluntly, everyone went inside without saying anything. I followed him and went in last, giving Mr. Berry some wine as a gift.
“Here. Thank you for your warm welcome.”
“Oh! Thank you! It’s my favorite wine! And, I’m really honored that you came to my house!”
“Not much to say.”
I was relieved to see that he liked it to the point of being a little fussy. With this momentum, I introduced her and her companions.
“This is Baek Sohee. This is my wife. Baek Se-hee is So-hee’s younger brother, and her friend Chae Min-ah. Also, Taeyeon Jeong and Yena Jeong are mother and daughter.”
“Oh! I’m so happy to see you all! Everyone is so pretty!”
Mr. Berry greeted me with as much fuss as he did with me. She was a little embarrassed to stand still for a while, so she looked around her room.
She gave off a rich feeling inside as well as outside. The soft yet clean-looking walls, the stairs you see as soon as you enter the front door, and even the living room on the left. The richest thing among them all is… !
“Mister. Mister. Look at that. “It’s a really rich family.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
It was a chandelier mounted on the ceiling. Although it was a little smaller than what you see in luxury hotels, it was hard to take your eyes off the hundreds of brilliantly sparkling glass pieces.
“You. You. Do you see that?”
The Demon King, who was greeting Mr. Berry, came next to me. He pointed at the chandelier, which was sparkling like his eyes, and whispered playfully.
“That is proof that it is a rich family.”
I had no intention of denying it.
“If even the water in the toilet is blue, it’s safe to say that this house is a conglomerate. Hmm.”
It wasn’t the next thing I heard.
“So, from next time, don’t make fun of them because they are from a rich family. Did you understand?”
Now, I was trying to argue with the story that the land price at my father-in-law’s house had risen.
“Mr. Kang!”
But I couldn’t do that because I heard a voice calling me warmly. When I turned my head to the reception room on the other side of the living room, I saw Mr. Park, wearing an apron, taking off his oven mitts and coming out of what seemed to be a kitchen.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come pick you up! “I was baking delicious lasagna!”
“Is it lasagna? “Is that why it smelled so delicious?”
“Well, I did ride it a little bit. Still looking forward to it! I made this dish with strawberries! Ah, have you met my sweet strawberry?”
He shook my hand with an oven-gloved hand and then pointed to Mr. Berry. Apparently, Mr. Berry’s nickname was Strawberry.
“This beautiful woman is my wife. Berry.”
“Yes. You are a very beautiful person.”
“?!”
“?!”
“…”
“?!”
“Why, why?”
I meant it as a greeting, but Mawang, Sehee, Minah, and Taeyeon looked at me in surprise. I made eye contact with the women who were staring at me intently, then looked back at President Park.
“And, where is it?”
President Park looked around as if there was still someone he wanted to introduce. After looking at the living room with the large TV and the living room connected to the kitchen, I looked up at the ceiling and shouted loudly.
“Danny! You have a guest! “Come and say hello!”
“Okay!”
Thump thump thump!
The voice of a boy who seemed to have just entered puberty came from the chandelier-hanging ceiling. And then the footsteps continued, deliberately hitting the floor.
“It’s because I’m a teenager.”
The boss, looking at the ceiling where he heard a very rude and rude response, spoke as if making an excuse. He nodded, saying, “I understand, because I have wives who can’t stop me.”
“Teenagers are like that.”
“Dad! “I said I’d come later!”
Unlike the Demon King and Se-hee, a boy with mixed-race features appeared. The guy who looked a little over 10 years old walked down the stairs, shouting nervously.
“Mom! I eat dinner in my room… !”
The guy with black hair stopped before coming down. His trembling eyes were fixed on one of my women.
“Huh? Mom. He’s looking at me.”
None other than Jena.
