Reborn: to love and revenge (season 1)

Chapter 120

In a single room ward on the hospital’s second floor, a crowd of reporters had gathered.

Eunji was, currently, weakly responding to the interview questions. She lamented about taehyung. “You say, are there any sons like him? He won’t even come to visit me after my accident. I really brought him up for nothing. My heart really hurts!”

“Mom, I’m here!” taehyung suddenly appeared at the entrance.

eunji was very surprised by his appearance. Her complexion was especially pale due to the amount of powder she had applied. She immediately put on a comforted expression. “taehyung, ah. You’ve finally come to visit Mom.”

Her tears rolled down her cheeks. “Please don’t blame me for using the media to force you to visit. Mom really just... misses you too much.”

There were several cameras in the hospital ward which were broadcasting everything that was happening live on all of the major television channels. God only knew how many times it would be further reposted on various social network sites.

No matter what, she had to convince all the netizens that taehyung was unfilial; that he had come visiting because of the pressure from the media.

The moment taehyung appeared, all the cameras turned to focus on him. “Mr. Kim, may I ask, why didn’t you come to see your mother immediately when she met with a car accident?”

“Are you here now due to the pressure from the public?”

“This matter has gotten a lot of attention. Most of the netizens feel that you are unfilial. Don’t you think it’s a little late to be visiting now?”

The polite, yet sharp questions left taehyung silent.

Eunji watched him remain speechless from where she laid on the bed. She felt extremely pleased.

A hint of ruthless pleasure appeared in her eyes.

This was exactly what she wanted, to ruin the reputation of taehyung, this whore and to utterly destroy her. Soon, the entire world would be scolding him!

Taehyung was only silent for a few seconds before responding with a question. “Can filial piety be measured by money?”

“...”

No one expected him to ask such a question. Several reporters were taken aback.

At the same time, the audience watching the live-stream on their phones started leaving angered comments:

[taehyung really doesn’t know what shame is. How can filial piety be measured by money?]

[Actually, I think it can be. After all, in recent years, giving money to our parents is a way to express love.]

[Although that is true, sincerity is the most important. From what I see, taehyung is relying on his status as jungkook's fiancée to discard his familial relationships! He is truly a black-hearted man!]

...

In the hospital room, eunji suddenly laughed miserably. “taehyung, Mom knows that ever since you were lifted up by the Jeon family, you’ve become complacent. But how can filial piety be measured with money? Besides... You’re only a Year 2 University student. You haven’t earned even a single cent. How have you been filial to me through money!”

Although she sounded like she was nagging, her words were cearly announcing her pitiful status and backing taehyung into a corner.

“Mom, go on.” A hint of hurt flashed past taehyung's indifferent gaze.

His tone was also gloomy. “Let me hear exactly how many mistakes I’ve made in your eyes.”

“Since you claim that money can replace filial piety, let me ask you. The Kim Corporation is currently facing financial problems. Have you asked the Jeon family for any help?” eunji's expression was that of heartbreak. “You haven’t. You won’t contribute through money or effort. Even as I lay here, I have to rely on the media to force you to appear... You’re not even suited to be a human!”
