Chapter 72

Soon thinking that Jaejun couldn’t come so he sent Yoomin instead, she told her to come in and then gestured to the butler.

“Everyone go to the guest house.”

Just as she dismissed all the servants like during Haneul’s tutoring time, the entrance door opened.

And Yoomin appeared.

As soon as she saw Grandmother, she cheerfully greeted her.

“Oh? Ma’am, hello!”

“Miss Yoomin, I heard there’s no tutoring this week due to family matters.”

“Yes. But my senior told me it’s Haneul’s birthday today. I wanted to celebrate for him, so I came.”

She heard that Father was very sick, but she was very grateful to Yoomin for coming to celebrate Haneul’s birthday.

Especially when both her son and Jaejun couldn’t come.

It would actually be good if Yoomin, whom Haneul follows well, could fill the numbers.

Grandmother gestured for her to come in with a pleased face.

“We were just preparing Young Master Haneul’s birthday meal. It’s almost done, but… it’ll take a little longer, so play with Haneul.”

“Yes. I didn’t have time to buy a gift, so I brought a cake. I think it needs to be kept in the refrigerator.”

Grandmother smiled and accepted the cake.

Watching Yoomin call for Haneul and walk inside, Grandmother looked at the entrance for a moment.

Since her daughter-in-law said she was also bringing the granddaughter of Udam Group’s chairman, she would unwillingly have the opportunity to compare the two side by side.

Thinking it was actually good timing, Grandmother went back to the kitchen to finish the food.

After Yoomin came, she became impatient and tried to finish faster, making the sweat that had cooled down flow again.

She often heard that she was healthy for her age, but seeing her body not keeping up well with just a little strain, she must be getting old after all, she was thinking.

The doorbell rang.

Grandmother went to the entrance again.

A young woman she’d never seen before entered the house.

“Hello. You heard from this house’s madam, right? I’m Im Juran, the granddaughter of Udam Group’s chairman. Where are all the adults in the house?”

She was a beautiful woman with glamour, but had none of the warmth that Yoomin had.

Her crisp way of speaking was also somewhat sharp.

“The madam is out, so it will take a while for her to come.”

“Really? Oh, that’s troublesome.”

“Will you have a meal? The madam said to serve Miss Im Juran dinner first since she’ll be late.”

“…Really?”

Joo Ran reluctantly nodded and entered inside.

In her hands was a gift box the size of B4 paper, having heard it was someone’s birthday.

Joo Ran naturally pushed the box into Grandmother’s arms as if talking down to her.

Grandmother, who suddenly had to receive the heavy box, looked at her with an unfavorable gaze.

Unaware of this, Joo Ran openly looked around the house, thinking the homeowner wasn’t there.

In Grandmother’s heart, in that short time, she was branded as someone who could absolutely never be Jaejun’s partner due to her brazenness.

Grandmother clicked her tongue and went back to the kitchen to finish cooking.

Now she just needed to serve the rice and soup, and at perfect timing, Yoomin peeked her head into the kitchen.

“Ma’am. Is there anything I can help with? Should I serve the soup?”

Grandmother’s hands were trembling and she wanted to say yes, but she declined because Yoomin’s heart was so pretty.

Then from behind Yoomin, Joo Ran’s sharp voice was heard.

“Who are you?”

Yoomin was startled and turned around.

Joo Ran herself was the one visiting this house for the first time, yet treating Yoomin like an unwelcome guest was quite a sight.

“Oh, I’m Haneul’s piano tutor.”

Joo Ran looked Yoomin up and down with a displeased face.

Then she suddenly looked at Grandmother.

“Auntie. I definitely heard it was a family lunch, but was an outsider supposed to eat together too?”

Grandmother was dumbfounded and watched to see how far Joo Ran would go.

“Oh, really… How low-class. I shouldn’t have come.”

Joo Ran, who had no idea that Grandmother was Jaejun’s grandmother, kept showing her rock-bottom character.

In the middle of it all, only Yoomin looked back and forth between Grandmother and Joo Ran, not knowing what to do.

Joo Ran, as if uncomfortable with Yoomin’s gaze, spoke confrontationally.

“Why do you keep staring like you’re looking at a zoo monkey? I’m the person who’s going to marry the young master here.”

“…What? With Seol Jaejun… sir?”

“Yes.”

Yoomin looked at Grandmother with a flustered face.

Grandmother held back the words that rose to her throat about how she would never let that character-broken person be Jaejun’s partner.

“Oh, really.”

Then Joo Ran, who had muttered irritably to herself, raised her phone.

At that moment, Haneul, who had approached the kitchen, looked at Joo Ran and asked.

“Who is the auntie?”

“What? Auntie? Are your eyes on your feet? Unbelievable.”

Joo Ran got angry at Haneul, then as if realizing something, changed her voice back to sweet.

“Ahem. No, it was a joke. You’re Jaejun’s cousin, right? I thought you’d be a college student since you’re called a younger brother, but you’re quite young? How old-“

“Teacher Yoomin!”

Haneul cut off Joo Ran’s words and ran to Yoomin.

Yoomin patted Haneul’s head and led him toward the table.

Grandmother sighed and spoke up.

“The food is getting cold, so let’s eat first. The eldest madam said to eat first.”

Yoomin stopped helping Haneul sit in his chair and asked in surprise.

“Huh, is Senior Jaejun’s mother coming?”

Grandmother quietly answered.

“Yes. She’s on her way.”

“I didn’t hear from my senior… About that woman over there too…”

Yoomin seemed confused and muttered timidly.

Grandmother looked at Yoomin like that and smiled faintly.

Meanwhile, Joo Ran grumbled and came all the way into the kitchen, sitting in the seat closest to the head of the table.

Grandmother saw this, sighed, and served the soup.

“You there.”

Then from behind, Joo Ran spoke to Yoomin.

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you call him Senior Jaejun earlier? Do you know Jaejun?”

“Oh, yes… We’re college seniors and juniors. Thanks to my senior looking favorably on me, I’m also tutoring Haneul.”

“Isn’t it quite impure for grown adult men and women to maintain connections like this while calling each other senior and junior?”

“…What?”

What on earth did Udam Group feed Joo Ran to make her so twisted?

Grandmother shook her head disapprovingly.

It was when she turned around with the seaweed soup on a tray after serving it all while hiding her unpleasant feelings.

Finally, trouble occurred.

Crash-!

“Kyaah!”

Was it because she was eighty and had overexerted herself since morning?

Finally, her strength gave out and she dropped the tray.

Plates broke and soup splattered everywhere, turning the floor into chaos in an instant.

Yoomin sent Haneul to the living room for a moment, then rushed over to support Grandmother.

“Are you okay?”

And she moved Grandmother back and said she would clean it up, telling her not to even touch it.

“I’ll clean it up quickly. Just tell me where the dishcloths and broom are. It’s nothing serious, ma’am. You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”

“Ah. Why did I make such a mistake—”

That was the moment.

“Auntie!”

Joo Ran jumped up from her seat irritably, apparently having gotten splashed on her clothes.

“Ah, do you know how much this outfit costs?! This is a new piece that only one came into the country this time! What kind of person working in a chairman’s house is so careless?! If you’re too old and weak, you should quit on your own! What kind of nuisance is this?!”

Joo Ran raised her voice and blamed Grandmother.

Unable to listen any longer, Yoomin burst out shouting.

“Are clothes important right now? People come first, don’t they? Isn’t it fine as long as no one got hurt? It’s not like the lady spilled it on purpose—her hands just lost strength!”

“That’s exactly why I’m saying why is she causing trouble at her age—”

“Good heavens!”

That’s when it happened.

Seo Jeonghwa’s voice was heard from the kitchen entrance.

Seo Jeonghwa looked at the kitchen scene and covered her mouth while looking at Grandmother.

“What happened here, Mother? Where did Gold Butler and the other ladies go? Are you alright?”

Silence fell.

Yoomin looked back and forth between Seo Jeonghwa and Grandmother, not understanding the situation.

“Ma’am. Who is that person…?”

Grandmother let out the sigh she had been holding and untied her apron.

“Jaejun’s mother.”

“…Pardon?”

“My daughter-in-law.”

Both Yoomin and Joo Ran’s mouths fell open simultaneously.
