Chapter 299 – Part 2. 1993

And the next day.

Her mother, Hee-kyung, felt good after a long time.

She has been very concerned about Seongjin, whom she loves for over a week, but her friend Jin So-ra contacted her over dinner and a drink.
Besides, she was already thinking about what to wear when she was told to dress beautifully so that she could go to a fancy place and eat.

Her mother had been having quite a bit of fun dressing up and dressing up since her presidential inauguration earlier in the year.
Now, her money was so much that it could rot away, and the more beautiful she became, the more Seongjin loved her, so it was a natural result.

These days, Seongjin was only working at her company during her vacation.
Kim Hee-kyung’s Pizza opened a while ago, and he was busy with questions about franchisees and building a topping production plant.

Seong-jin didn’t look as depressed as she had in early July, perhaps because she was immersed in her work.

When her mother glanced at her watch, it was already 4 p.M.
She thought of meeting Jin So-ra today and chatting, but her work was already out of her hands.

The mother got up and she went down to Heekyung Distribution, where Seongjin was working.

This was now a full mast market.

Because the company no longer had room to expand, it was unable to recruit employees even though it needed them.
As a result, only her existing personnel were dying from excessive work.

So now, Mirae Construction was building a 25-story office building in Yongsan for Kim Hee-kyung Food and Hee-kyung Distribution.
We have to wait another year, so soon Kim Hee-kyung Food plans to rent another building nearby and spin off.

Mother went into her boss’s office.
In the boss’s office, there were two desks.
Of course, it was Hyejeong Auntie and Seongjin’s desk.

At first, her mother asked her Sung-jin to work with her in her room, but it was better for her to work at Heekyung Distribution because of her work efficiency.
So she had no choice but to concede to Aunt Hyejeong.

Mother felt a bit jealous when she saw Seongjin and Hyejeong sitting opposite each other and working hecticly.
But the picture was very nice to see.

Aunt Hyejeong was as pretty as a goddess, to the point that even her mother would envy her.

Mother went to Kyunghee and took her in her arms.
From her mother’s point of view, Kyunghee was her granddaughter and half-daughter.

However, since those things had already been removed from the concept of consciousness, it was just that Kyunghee was pretty.
This is because she is the daughter of her own love, Sungjin.

While her mother was holding Kyung-hee and staring at her, Seong-jin came to her mother’s side and hugged her by the shoulder, looking down at her.

“Isn’t my daughter pretty?”

“Okay. Pretty. Very pretty.”

Mother smiled and answered.

“By the way, mother, why are you here at this hour? Aren’t you busy with work?”

“I’m busy, but for some reason I couldn’t get my hands on work, so I came to see my husband’s face.”

Before I knew it, Aunt Hyejeong made her coffee, put it down in front of her mother and Seongjin, and sat on the sofa across from her, smiling.

“Haa~ I need to rest a little while my sister is here too.”

The three of them sat facing each other like this for the first time in a while and had a casual conversation.

However, while the mother and Aunt Hyejeong laughed and talked, they were still focused on monitoring Seongjin’s mood.
Fortunately, Sungjin didn’t seem to be in such a bad mood today.

“Sungjin. Today, I will meet So-ra, have dinner, and go in after playing. Are you fine?”

The mother looked at Seongjin and asked cautiously.

“No, why are you reporting all that to me? I’m meeting a friend for dinner, of course it’s okay. It’s dangerous at night, so don’t be too late. Be sure to bring your bodyguards with you.”

“Okay. Okay. Thank you. Self. I’m leaving work a little early today.”

Her mother seemed to be happy with Sung-jin’s cheerful approval, so she quickly handed her Kyung-hee to her Aunt Hye-jeong, kissed her on Seong-jin’s cheek, and left her office.

“Ho-ho-ho. How is her sister becoming more and more like a girl? Isn’t it? West?”

“Iknow, right. But I really like that my mother is so bright.”

Auntie Hyejeong came and sat next to Seongjin holding Kyunghee.

“Babe. When is our summer vacation? Seeing you like that, I want to go on vacation.”

“Iknow, right. I have to go on vacation.. Phew~ I don’t know if I’ll have time because Kim Hee-kyung Pizza is open. Let’s go in August and think. Check out Kim Hee-kyung’s pizza situation..”

Seong-jin’s women already knew each other’s secrets, so if she said she was going on vacation, Seong-jin had to take them all with her.
It is not one or two people, but more than 10 people have to move at once.

Seong-jin, who was about to plan her vacation, decided to shake her head and deal with her immediate business.

“Hye-jeong takes a little more rest while watching Kyung-hee. I’ll take care of anything urgent.”

Seongjin drank the coffee she was holding in her hand and went back to her desk.

The mother went to Gangnam to meet Jin So-ra in a car driven by bodyguards before her rush hour car was blocked.

Upon entering the high-end wine bar that Jin So-ra had reserved in advance, her mother couldn’t help but admire the atmosphere.
Jin So-ra had already come and placed her order and was waiting for her mother.

We laughed and made a fuss with each other, then drank wine as a meal, and later, cocktails, and fell in love with chatting.

The atmosphere was so good.
Even to her mother, Jin So-ra was her only friend.

She said that friend became the best actress in Korea, and she approached her as a true friend without being condescending at all.
Her mother wondered if this was her happiest time of her life.

The conversation with her friend didn’t know how much time passed, and she didn’t even know how much wine she had drunk.

When it was too late, the mother sent her bodyguards back.
When she said no, Jin So-ra insisted that she would take responsibility, and she said that Jin So-ra was also her manager, so the bodyguards made a report and left work.

As time went by, the mother became more and more drunk, and her body was to the point where she couldn’t control herself properly.

Seongjin was working late even after dinner.
Recently, she was only working to relieve her sinking feelings because of Hong Hee-eun.
She worked like crazy, just like before, to the point that other people were worried.

Fortunately, it was vacation, so there were no factors that hindered Seong-jin from working.

Seongjin, who was looking at her papers, felt tired in her eyes, so he raised her head and pressed her eyes gently.
She removed her hands from her eyes and looked at her watch to see that it was already past ten.

Aunt Hyejeong had left work on time with Kyunghee earlier.

Since she doesn’t have a mother, Seong-jin, who ate dinner roughly, felt that she was hungry as time was hour after hour, and she thought that she had to leave for today.

When I turned off the office lights and came out, the staff office space was also turned off and it was pitch black.
Seongjin looked around the office and felt bitter.

Was she really right in the name of revenge?
She’s already been passing close to 2 weeks. How is Hong Hee-eun doing?

Again, unpleasant thoughts came to Seongjin.

Seongjin shook her head and went to her house.
When she entered the house, she found Jinhee just in the kitchen drinking water and coming out.

“Uh? Brother, you are late today. Isn’t my brother working too hard these days? Pretty Jinhee these days, I don’t even hug her.. Heeing~~”

Jin-hee greeted Seong-jin, clinging to her arm and trembling at her.

Seong-jin knew fully why Jin-hee was doing this.
This is to relieve Seongjin’s mood, where the atmosphere has been subdued these days.

Seongjin hugged such a cute Jinhee and kissed her on the mouth.
After Sung-hoon moved into his father’s house, the skinship between his mother and Jin-hee in the house became much more and more natural.

“It’s Jinhee. Has your mother not come yet?”

“Huh. For some reason, my mother is late today. She must have fallen in love with Sorai Mo..”

When Sung-jin looks at the clock hanging on her wall, she realizes that it is already past 10:30.
Seong-jin, who was slightly worried, tried to call her, but she interrupted the fun for no reason, and the bodyguard followed her, so she decided to wait.

But then, suddenly, Sungjin’s cell phone rang loudly.
Seongjin felt a bit ominous, so she quickly answered the phone.

The person who called was Kim Doo-shik.

[Older brother. Sorry for the late hour. It’s a bit unusual, so I thought I should report it, so I called like this.]

“Okay. What’s going on?”

[This is Jin So-ra. A report came in from her kids who were monitoring Jin So-ra now. The place is Seongnam, but what is more unusual is that the place seems to be inside the Jangseong Group.]

“What? Aren’t you going to the Jangseong Group?”

Seongjin was startled.

The person Jean So-ra met this evening was none other than her mother.
But suddenly Jin So-ra took someone and headed to the safe house of the Jangseong Group…?

Seongjin had goosebumps all over her body.
And suddenly her heart started to feel urgent.

“Isn’t it the way up the hill on a two-lane road with only rice fields around there?”

[I’m not sure about that. We will check and contact you.]

When Kim Doo-sik hung up on her phone, Seong-jin, who was impatient, grabbed her car keys and ran out of her.
She called Jin-hee from behind, asking what was going on, but Seong-jin didn’t even pretend to hear and climbed into her car and stepped on the accelerator.

Could this be something that Chairman Kunho Jang planned?
What if something happened to her mother?

Seong-jin ignored her signal and ran terribly.
Intermittently, she didn’t know the car, she kept thinking only disturbing thoughts.

The phone rang loudly again.
Seongjin hurriedly answered the phone, let her thoughts go, and slowed her down.

[Older brother. I guess that’s the right place. However, it is said that the car that seems to have belonged to Chairman Jang Gun-ho just entered the place. What should I do?]

“What? 이 개 씨발새끼가.. 두식아 일단 끊자.”

Seong-jin pressed her accelerator hard again and quickly called her special security team on her cell phone.

“Yes. Team Leader Song, please mobilize the entire special security team immediately. The place is not the Seongnam Jangseong Group, and the time is 30 minutes.”

[Yes. President. How should I arm myself?]

After thinking for a while, Seongjin answered.

“The armament will be just below the highest level. Please move as quickly as possible. And eat heartily. We can go to war with the General Group.”

After hanging up his phone, Seong-jin grabbed the steering wheel with both hands and gnashed his teeth.

“Jang Gun-ho, you bastard. Gee, you’re doing the job. Okay, let’s try it.”

As much as Seongjin’s growl, the Benz’s engine also growled and increased his speed.

Meanwhile, Jin So-ra, who brought her drunken mother to the safe house, was restless and did not know what to do.
Her mother was lying on a sofa that was so wide that you might think it was a sofa, and Jin So-ra was sitting next to her and stroking her mother’s cheek.

“Hee-kyung. Sorry. I couldn’t help it either. No, on the contrary, it will be good for you. Please forgive me I’m really sorry. Black black black…”

Jinsora hugged her mother and let her cry.

In the end, Jin So-ra’s choice was to dedicate her mother to Chairman Jang Gun-ho.
If her mother, who is living alone, catches the eyes of Chairman Kun-ho Jang, she rationalizes to herself that business or whatever will be better.

But she couldn’t get her word out to her mother, named Jinso, that she be the concubine of Chairman Jang Kun-ho.
As her time passed and the pressure from Chairman Jang Kun-ho increased, Jin So-ra eventually chose an extreme way to feed her mother her alcohol like this.

The reason why Jin So-ra is crying right now is because she is sorry for not telling Hee-gyeong, but she is more sad that if Hee-gyeong wakes up tomorrow morning, she will never see her again as her friend.
Besides, it was more sad than anything else that I would never see Seong-jin again.

One of her maids brought water to her tray, and Jinsora wiped away her tears and gulped nervously from her water.
She tried to get her mother to drink another glass of water, but she put the cup down on her table again, thinking that it would be a bother if she came to her senses, even though Chairman Jang Kun-ho didn’t come.

She said she was sorry, but it was Jin So-ra, like a venomous snake, who made these calculations even at this moment.

Jin So-ra, who had been sitting for a while, worried that her mother would wake up, jumped up when she heard the sound of a car outside.
Finally, Chairman Kun-ho Jang came.

After a while, President Jang Gun-ho entered, guided by Director Kim Seung-ho.

Outside, in front of the front door, two bodyguards who had been riding with President Jang Geon-hoe stood guarding the entrance, and five other bodyguards from the side of the annex, as if they were already ready, started patrolling around the mansion.

Chairman Gun-ho Jang found her mother lying on the sofa and approached So-ra Jin with a smile on her face.

“Quack. Sora, was this the method you came up with after all?”

Jin So-ra couldn’t answer, so she lowered her head to avoid Chairman Jang Kun-ho’s eyes.

“Well, that year was more expensive than I thought. Good job.”

While talking, Chairman Kun-ho Jang sat in the middle of the sofa.
Immediately, the maid came over and bowed her head to Chairman Jang Kun-ho.

“Hmm. Give me a glass of whiskey.”

After answering yes, the maid backed away from her.
