The Youngest Son of Sunyang (Reborn Rich)

[116] Light Jabs to Start 2

But can things ever go smoothly when you've got both the chicken and the egg?

When the land acquisition in Susaek-dong was in full swing, Jin Yeong-jun threw away his drink upon receiving a call from his father, Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi, and rushed home.

His heart pounded as he saw his father's icy-cold expression, which was anything but normal. He quickly racked his brain to recall if he had made any recent mistakes, but nothing came to mind.

The ominous sign was the presence of his wife sitting beside his father in the living room.

Could it be that she complained to his father about his frequent nights out?

She wasn't the type to nag about such matters. Didn't she promise not to interfere with his personal life?

"What have you been up to lately?" His father's voice was unnaturally calm, and that was cause for concern. His father was known to raise his voice when he was angry.

"I haven't been doing anything special. Why do you ask?"

"Rumors are going around that you're out there buying land. Is that true?"

For a moment, various faces associated with this matter flashed through Jin Yeong-jun's mind. Who could have leaked this information?

"Why can't you answer? Is it true, or is it just baseless gossip?"

"Oh, Father. Let me explain first."

"Explain? Ah, so you're saying it's not baseless gossip, then?"

Jin Yeong-jun never thought that getting married could be considered a blessing. If it were before his marriage, he would have started the scolding with a punch. But now that his daughter-in-law is watching, his father's hands tremble but remained at his side, resisting the urge to strike,

"Fine. Go ahead and explain. Let's hear if it's a plausible explanation."

"I mentioned that I had a conversation with Do-jun, right?"

"Yes. And that guy showed a lot of interest in you, didn't he? He seemed eager to cooperate."

"Yes, that's what happened."

Jin Yeong-jun proceeded to recount the events of that night once more. The difference this time was that he added the story about Digital Media City and the land purchase, which he had omitted last time.

As the explanation concluded, Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi's expression appeared even colder.

"So, according to your explanation, Do-jun said all this, and you're pouring money into the land just based on his words, is that it?"

"No, that's not it. I also verified and took action. I mentioned what my uncle said during his inauguration, and Do-jun reiterated it. Finally, I confirmed it once more with a Seoul city official. The development is certain."

Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi suddenly turned to his daughter-in-law and said, " Seo-ah, when did you learn about this fact?"

"What?"

Han Seo-young had never seen her father-in-law this angry before. It was too late to claim ignorance. Even without a mirror, she could tell that her complexion had turned pale.

"Did you also use money to buy land?"

"...Yes."

"Do you believe that guy's words?"

Her husband was biting his lips, as pointed out by his father.

"Yes, but I verified it myself, Father."
