The Youngest Son of Sunyang (Reborn Rich)

[118] Light Jabs to Start 4

"Miss, Vice Chairman is looking for you."

She got up upon hearing the voice from outside the bedroom. It had arrived.

After gathering her wits, she went downstairs to the living room, where her husband looked like he hadn't fully sobered up yet, shaking his head.

"What a lightweight you are. Tsk, tsk." Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi cleared his throat once and his expression turned cold again. "My goodness, you've been drinking too? Are you still not fully sober?"

"Oh, no. Father. I just felt a bit unwell..."

"Is that why you're skipping breakfast, which isn't good for your health?"

Although it was irritating that he kept probing when he clearly knew the situation, she couldn't say a word and just lowered her head.

"Listen, dear. Don't just listen to what I have to say without thinking. You must inform your family about it."

"...Yes."

she was afraid of what he was going to say, but couldn't defy his order. His expression and tone were serious enough to make it clear that she had to do as he said.

"You have never bought any land, do you understand?"

"What?"

"Whether it's one person or four who bought the land, you don't know anything about it. You never asked your maternal family for assistance. In other words, you have absolutely no involvement in this matter. Do you understand?"

"Oh, Father, that... that's..."

It was an impossible claim. Han Seo-young had personally received special treatment from real estate agents and had scoured Suseong-dong herself, hadn't she?

As the daughter of a media company, she knew that even rookie journalists wouldn't miss the fact that she personally confirmed and purchased the land by visiting several real estate offices.

"Haven't you understood my words yet? What if it becomes public knowledge that the eldest grand-daughter-in-law of the Sunyang family's first act was land speculation? What kind of disgrace will that bring to the family?" Father didn't care and continued. No, he ordered. "If anyone can find out that it was you, not only you but also your family will pay a severe price for it."

"Yes."

She could only answer humbly for now, even if she could considered the methods later.

"And Yeong-jun."

"Yes, Father."

"Raise your head. That's the only way I can slap you. It's not right to hit grown-up children on the back of their heads, is it? Your head is already messed up enough; it shouldn't get any worse."

Jin Yeong-jun clenched his teeth to hold back the curse words that were about to burst out. Slowly, he raised his head, but his father's hand remained still.

Summoning the courage, Jin Yeong-jun spoke up. "Father, I will handle this."

"You? How?" Father's face, with the corners of his mouth turning up, clearly mocked him. But for now, he needed to appease his father as much as possible.

"Most of the land I purchased is under corporate names, not mine. And for the land in my name, I'll transfer it to the company at the purchase price."

"And then?"

"We have to leave it alone until things calm down."

"Leave it alone? The land value is dropping day by day."
