[274] Filial Sons 2
Seeing the happy mother, I think I know the size of the lump that has formed throughout my life.
The mother stood up while glancing at his father, as if he was offended by his explicit expression of emotions.
“I’ll go in and take a little rest.”
As the mother left the living room, the father started pouring out sensitive questions. My mother seems to have deliberately avoided the seat.
“How is Grandma now?”
“You may have been worried about the expansion of the investigation, but you have already left for a foreign country.”
“Is that enough? Do you think your uncles can’t cover it?”
I told you honestly what you would know anyway.
“It’s preventing me from covering it.”
“Why?”
The father’s expression hardened, but he did not appear angry.
“When my grandmother is in Korea, it is difficult for me.”
“Because it’s hard to meet?”
“no. I keep encouraging people to kick me out of the group. Until now, only uncles have been encouraged, but we will expand the scope. Even CEOs and executives. It will be difficult for them to ignore Grandma’s words, so bad things will be said about me.”
“so? Do you really want to make your grandmother a criminal?”
“There is no need to appear at the prosecutor’s office, stand in court, and much less… go to jail. Wasn’t your grandfather always abroad? I think it is an extension of that life.”
“But not being able to come home when you want to is different. It is exile.”
“It is a luxurious exile. It’s what I want.”
I was afraid that he would get angry, but my father only put on a puzzled expression.
A father sandwiched between parent and child.
It was like being pushed into such an embarrassing situation.
“sorry. father.”
“done. stop.”
Father was silent for a while. My father, who had been staring at me blankly, opened his mouth slowly.
“No matter what happens, let’s not go to prison for a grandmother in her 80s. Just keep it.”
“yes. I will make sure there is no running away from country to country in Europe.”
My father patted me on the shoulder once and went into my mother’s room.
My father stood by me as a son, not your mother.
It is a law without parents overcoming their children.

“Lee Seohyun? Who is Seohyun Lee?”
“This is President Jin Yoon-gi’s wife. Jin Do-jun’s mother…”
“What? Are you Jesu?”
“yes. I paid the relevant transaction tax in full and the real name conversion was completed.”
“This son of a bitch. If it had to be…”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki was more dumbfounded than angry. Needless to say, he is the youngest Jesu.
If my mother knew about it, she might faint.
“Gather the entire legal team. The borrowed-name shares belonged to my mother, so find out the illegality of the gifting process and invalidate the real-name conversion.”
“yes. Vice President.”
Chief of Staff Baek Joon-hyeok bowed his head and left.
The purpose Jin Do-jun said was not a lie. The borrowed-name stock was a bonus, and it is true that he wanted to make the grandmother pay for the humiliation she suffered.
What could be more upsetting than having your most hated daughter-in-law take all of your inheritance?
Jin Young-gi wanted to open his head to see how he came to be so cruelly trying to sell people.
– Vice President. This is the representative of the opposition party.
Jin Yeong-gi was distracted by Jin Do-jun’s thoughts through the secretary’s voice over the intercom.
“CEO. You must be busy, but I contacted you despite the rudeness.”
– no. Even if it wasn’t, I was about to contact the vice president because I had something to check.
“yes.”
– A source came from the Sunyang Group. Is this good?
“I think my immature little nephew picked up the wrong story somewhere. I think I gave it to you because I thought it might be helpful to the opposition party, but I’m sorry…
– Huh? It’s not? Ah, it wasn’t cultural property smuggling, it was expensive art. We checked with the Consulate General in New York. A few of the people involved told me the truth. By the way. An unexpected name came out and I wanted to check it out. The vice president’s mother’s name…
Jin Young-ki could feel his stomach getting hot. in a hurry.
“CEO. It’s not like this over the phone, let’s talk while eating. Misinformation needs to be corrected and misunderstandings need to be resolved.”
– Is that so? I will check the schedule and contact you right away.
After the call ended, Jin Young-gi threw the receiver.
“You bastards like leeches!”
My head was pounding when I thought how much the guys from Yeouido, who had a weak point and a very big one, would use this as an excuse to rip it off.

I looked at the expression of the opposition leader after the call. Seeing the corner of his mouth go up, he seems satisfied.
“What do you say? CEO?”
The senior vice president of the hospital could not hold back his curiosity.
“It seems that our chief Jin’s report is accurate. Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki wants to meet right away.”
The party leader looked at me and said.
“It looks like Chief Jin already knew about Ms. Lee’s involvement, didn’t he?”
“I only guessed at the slightest possibility.”
“I don’t think so?”
The party leader smiled and took a drink.
“It looks like this is involved in the Sunyang Group’s chores. What should I do?”
“Think in your favor. Isn’t it when the opposition party is going around looking after someone?”
he laughed
“You don’t want anything?”
“There’s no way you’ll move the way I want, and you have to go in the same direction anyway, don’t you think? In my opinion, the favorable side of the opposition seems to match what I want.”
“I heard that the late Chairman Jin’s most cherished bloodline is not common. haha.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“This is a very difficult choice…. Are you the eldest son of the esteemed chairman or the youngest grandson that the chairman
cherishes the most…” It’s an obvious trick of an old politician, but you have to ignore it.
“You had a self-control surgery the other day, right? The hospital said it went well, how is it?”
“Ah, I am recovering healthily thanks to the consideration of my father, Chairman Jin Yoon-ki. I couldn’t say hello because I was in a hurry because of the election. Please tell my father that I am grateful.”
“Of course, isn’t that what the hospital is supposed to do? Anyway, I’ll pass it on to my father. And if you need anything, just tell me. I will leave the VIP room at Sunyang Medical Center empty.”
If he did this, he would have been condescending, and all that was left was for that old man to tell him what he wanted.
“I know very well that politics and economy are inseparable, but politicians and businessmen are like lovers who can break up at any time. You have to have the taste of pushing and pulling while occasionally complaining and pretending to be angry so that the opponent doesn’t get caught off guard.”
“Then what if we really break up?”
The party leader was concerned that his relationship with Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki would be completely ruined.
“Wouldn’t an attractive person always meet a new relationship? do you know Will a younger and more capable opponent appear?”
The party leader laughed and took a drink.
“I like lamb legs too…”
Greedy old man. I don’t know how to give up even one.
“It is a matter of ability. It is not a matter of choice.”
“Do you know if you have the ability to catch both? Since you’re young and handsome, I think you’ll be good at dating. Please let me know. Hehe.”
“You can’t stretch out too much. If you do, it will be a waste to miss both of them.”
I drank with a glass of water and wiped my mouth with a tissue. It signaled that the meal was over and that the conversation was over.
“I will give you one more piece of information. Might move in the US. Then there will be no way to hide it, and neither I nor Vice President Jin Young-ki will be able to use our hands. Sunyang Group’s strength is for ‘domestic use’.”
I threw out advice to make good use of things that would explode anyway.
“We have to stop giving porridge to dogs. I really enjoyed the meal. Chief Jin Do-jun.”
The leader of the opposition party lightly bowed his head as if he understood well.

Since the sons gathered in a house without an owner, only the working people were busy. They desperately wanted one of their sons to live in this house.
There’s no way that would be the case, but if you ever sell your house, everyone could be evicted. They set the table with more sincerity than when the president was alive.
“The opposition guys don’t answer my calls. The party representative who was supposed to meet even beats the phrase that he went down to the district.”
“That means they won’t pass up this opportunity.”
Jin Yoon-gi did not avoid the eyes of the two older brothers who were glaring at him.
“Do-joon blocked it. You don’t want your mother to live away from home, do you?”
“Give back your mother’s stock as well. You should let your mother do as she pleases.”
Jin Yoon-gi said at the sound of the two older brothers’ orders.
“Is Do-jun the one who will listen to me? And my mother doesn’t listen to me either. It’s the same as sisters-in-law who don’t obey their older brothers. We’re at an age where we live with our wives noticing.”
“I have no intention of accepting your joke. Listen!”
Vibrator screamed at Jin Yoon-gi, who said it was not a big deal.
“No kidding. And do something with your mother’s cell phone. Shouldn’t we be able to contact you?”
Jin Young-gi flinched at Jin Yoon-gi’s displeasure. It was because he thought that he might have noticed that he had completely cut off his mother’s surroundings in order to take stock.
“You and Jesu-san, you’ve become greedy now. Do you think the stocks in your hands are a waste?”
“I think Do-joon is keeping it off. That’s why you can’t do it. Did you call me to talk about this? It’s a waste of time. Stock is Do-jun and Sho-bu.”
Jin Yoongi said firmly to the two older brothers.
“Let me ask you one thing. What if Do-joon offered all his stocks on the condition that his mother would never return to Korea? What are you going to do?”
At Jin Yoon-gi’s words, Jin Young-gi’s eyes changed.
“Is that really what Dojunie wants?”
At the reaction of the older brother, Jin Yoon-gi snorted.
“As long as I want stocks more than my mother, my older brothers have no right to tell me what to do. is not it? I would rather give up the stocks I took, so if only my mother had asked me to come home, I would have persuaded Do-jun so that no noise would happen.”
Embarrassed, Jinyoung kept his mouth shut.
“Don’t drag Mom. Isn’t it a heritage fight anyway? A fight in which the winner takes the loot. I think Dojunie won?”
Vibrator, who had been quietly listening to Jin Yoon-gi, spoke.
“It is not over yet. A long court battle awaits. You know it’s not a battle of who’s right legally, right? The one who uses good lawyers and chooses good judges wins. They both don’t know that we’re better than Do-jun, right?”
“Don’t get me wrong. The person who keeps Do-joon’s lights is my wife. Do you think I’ll do it like I’m across the river? If you take it to court, this is my fight.”
The faces of the two brothers hardened at the younger brother’s attitude, but there was one card they hadn’t pulled out yet.
The two exchanged glances and the vibrator pulled out a card.
“I’ll give it to Do-jun in this house.”
“what?”
“Isn’t this house special to Do-jun? In particular, this library is like Mount Sinai to him. Because it is the place where I was chosen by my father. is not it?”
“Shall we exchange stocks with this house? It’s ridiculous. Is your brother the owner of this house?”
Jin Yoongi’s voice was weak.
My father passed away and this house belongs to my mother. If you give me stocks, my mother will definitely put the house up for sale.
“I didn’t ask for stock. If he receives this house, Do-jun will have to offer something, right? Do-joon will decide that, so tell me.”
Jin Yoongi knows that too. How his son loathes this house.
In the end, they ate the food carefully prepared by the workers at Chairman Jin’s mansion.
This is because all the sons of the owner have gone back with angry faces.
