The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 211

“What kind of way is that to talk to an adult? That’s why people criticize you for being rude wherever you go!”

“…Again.”

Song-i clenched her fists and awkwardly rebelled.

“Don’t make excuses about other people. You’re just angry because you’re in a bad mood, Mother.”

Song Geum-yeong was always like this.

She could have just honestly gotten angry about why Song-i spoke to her that way. Instead, she always raised her voice at Song-i by bringing up other adults’ opinions, saying that’s why the General Public disliked her.

As if that were an objective evaluation of Song-i.

So Song-i thought she really was like that. When I do what I want to do, people dislike it.

I thought I was someone who only did things people hated.

She began to question her relationship with her Parents when she appeared on a fixed Variety Show Skills program as a famous entertainment industry family with Song Geum-yeong.

“Song-i, are you really okay?”

During a break in filming. The Production Staff were busily moving around preparing for the next shoot, and the Cast Members were gathered in small groups chatting.

One of the people appearing with her secretly called Song-i aside and asked worriedly.

It was an actor who was filming a drama with Song Geum-yeong.

“What do you mean?”

When she asked because she really didn’t know, her Expression became more serious. But she seemed to hesitate to say something, then eventually shook her head and left.

Thinking about it now, she might have noticed everything too.

While filming the Variety Show Skills program together that day, from what she saw and heard while filming the drama with Song Geum-yeong, she might have felt that their relationship was somehow strange.

But since she couldn’t get more deeply involved in Family Members matters, she probably stopped at just worrying.

However, her question gave Song-i enough doubt.

Our Home’s atmosphere was clearly different from the Family Members who appeared together.

‘Are we perhaps strange? Shouldn’t we be living like this?’

This was the reason Song-i participated in Start Plan despite her Parents’ opposition.

And now Song-i knows.

“Mother is strange.”

I’m not the strange one.

I’m not the one who’s wrong either.

Actually, it was all my Parents’ problem.

“I have my own life too, and things I want to do.”

“What are you saying? You’re still young. You’re not old enough to decide your own life! Look at other Friends your age. They’re all growing up in their Parents’ care, doing what they’re told and listening well, so why are you so different, child? You’re the strange one.”

“Around me…”

“Flora is the problem, I tell you. Really, what kind of ideas are they putting in your head? Don’t tell me they’re telling you to decide? Are those people who dump such important choices on a young child like this normal?”

“…”

“Choi Song-i, use your brain a little. Who would care more about you? The Flora Members and Day Entertainment Employees are only trying to separate you from Mother and manipulate you as they please because you’re a Flora member and it would interfere with their work if you left.”

“…”

“Would those people think about and take care of you as much as Mother does? Business relationships end there when there’s no money in it. You’re grown up enough to know that much, aren’t you?”

…Earlier she said what would a young person know.

Song-i thought this while continuing to listen to Song Geum-yeong’s words.

It was always like this.

After listening to words pouring down like a bombardment for so long, she would eventually reach the point of counting the patterns carved on the Floor. While listening with one ear and letting it flow out the other, she suddenly had this thought.

‘Why do I have to listen to this?’

In the end, it was just repeating the same content she’d heard for years.

“The child has become strange since being in Flora. You weren’t originally like this.”

So what she wanted to say was, quit Flora.

Listening, and listening again.

“Hah…”

Finally, a deep sigh burst from Song-i’s mouth.

“…What are you doing right now? Sighing in front of an adult?”

A moment of silence came. Song Geum-yeong was looking down at Song-i with a speechless face.

“Why should Flora or the Agency take care of me like Mother does?”

“…What?”

“The Flora Members and Agency aren’t my mother or real Family Members, so why should they take care of me like Mother does?”

Song-i said while looking straight at Song Geum-yeong.

Of course, the Agency should support Choi Song-i as an artist, and Flora should consider her as a member.

But they weren’t obligated to unilaterally protect Song-i. Song-i, the Members, and the Agency should take care of each other.

“Those people aren’t guardians who have to take care of me, they’re my colleagues.”

What colleague in the world would only receive unilaterally?

The relationship between Flora, Day Entertainment, and Choi Song-i wasn’t like that. Because they gave and received from each other, they became closer and built trust.

“We’re just people moving forward together, and I want to do what I love with them, so why does Mother keep interfering?”

“…How can you say that to Mother? Interfering.”

“It is interfering. Stop calling the Company now. Don’t keep making the Members uncomfortable either. The Members feel uncomfortable so I have to be careful too.”

“…Did the Members make you feel uncomfortable?”

Song Geum-yeong’s eyes became sharp.

“That’s not what I mean! Hah, I’m with those people because I want to be.”

Because we have the same dreams, because I love the Members so much, because the musicality they pursue matches mine so well.

She wanted to stay in Flora for various irreplaceable reasons.

But her own Parents, of all people, were trying to stop that.

“Mother, I’m sorry but I really can’t compromise on this.”

Song Geum-yeong’s Expression became cold.

“What will you do if you can’t compromise? Are you saying you’ll even cut ties with Mother?”

Song-i looked into Song Geum-yeong’s eyes. Why, why on earth was she saying such things?

When it would hurt both of them.

Cutting ties with Mother… It was something she’d been worrying about throughout her activities.

Cutting ties with Parents before even becoming an adult was too scary. But she didn’t want to quit Flora either.

So she worried for a long time, but she only thought there was no other way for now. So.

“Yes.”

“…What?”

For the first time, an unadorned voice flowed from Song Geum-yeong’s mouth.

She looked very flustered by Song-i’s unexpected words.

“I’ll cut ties.”

It was a big resolution. Of course, even saying this wouldn’t really cut ties, but.

“Don’t touch Flora. I seriously don’t want to be disappointed in Mother.”

“…”

Song Geum-yeong was looking at Song-i with her mouth wide open, unable to say anything in shock.

Song-i looked at Song Geum-yeong like that, then gave her one last word before leaving the Home.

“Don’t call the unnies.”

***

Two days had passed since Song-i met Song-i’s Mother.

The current Dormitory atmosphere was…

“Her Mother doesn’t seem to have changed much?”

“Yeah, I asked Kim, the CEO and she said there were no calls yesterday, but today she’s calling even more often. Hmm.”

Han Da-min rummaged through her Mobile Phone and showed Song-i’s Mother’s text messages.

“She came to me again too. Really long messages.”

Surprisingly, nothing had changed at all.

Even on the day Song-i had the conversation with her Mother, she came Home with a face like nothing happened, washed up, and went into her Room.

And since then, she had been continuing her daily life calmly.

So we thought the story had ended well…

“She was really angry asking what we said to Song-i. Now she’s even cursing without any filter, so Kim, the CEO was quite angry too.”

Song-i said she would cut ties with her mother.

She pretended like it was nothing, but it seems things didn’t end well.

Really, seeing how Song-i’s mother won’t budge an inch even when Song-i goes this far, she’s really something else.

“You didn’t see Song-i’s face when she heard that, right? The kid really looked like she was about to cry.”

“She let out a deep sigh as she went into her room. She must be going crazy too.”

Anyway, the smiling face mask has cracked. So probably we’ll soon…

“Girls. Da-min, Ji-ye, did you wash up? We need to go to a meeting, so get ready quickly.”

At Manager Ji-soo’s voice, Han Da-min and I sighed and got up.

Today was the day for the pair content filming meeting that had been scheduled after the Start Plan concert.

While we’re at the company, I should check the situation with CEO Kim Ja-in and prepare for the inevitable public opinion war with Song-i’s mother that can no longer be stopped.
