The actions of Dang-deung, the father and head of the Dang family, and the older brothers below him.

And even the actions of the Party Office against it.

The moment I encountered all of those things, I felt it instinctively.

This family… is somehow out of sync.

Maybe it’s just me who thinks that way, but from what I’ve seen, all the men in the Tang family are people who are just dying for Tang Soso, the youngest daughter and youngest brother.

The party involved didn’t seem to think that way at all, but at least that’s how I felt.

Compared to that?

Even though his father, Tang Deng, was the same, Dang Xiaoso considered his brothers completely ‘enemies’.

What is this if not a misalignment?

What’s important is how on earth they ended up like this…

‘Has there been any big incident in the past? ‘Is that why you misunderstood your family?’

That was the only possibility that immediately came to mind, but unfortunately, there was no way to confirm the truth.

I’m not a snowbird, but in this situation and atmosphere, I’m like, ‘Hey…? Teachers…? Isn’t it impossible to ask outright, ‘How on earth did you end up in a relationship like this?’

So… for now, all we can do is wait until the right time comes.

Of course, I know.

One thing to say is that just waiting blindly is not the answer.

Although it is not a solution, the thing called time knows the answer.

So, if I keep waiting without letting go of tension… one day, he will whisper in my ear.

Now is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

While I was thinking about the future code of conduct, the three brothers using the Tang surname were just going about their opinions.

Thanks to that, I came to my senses and before I knew it, we came to the conclusion that we would all gather at the ‘main house’ in the evening and have a meal together and talk more deeply.

It’s not like a restaurant or anything, it’s a real place…

Assari, they’re going to call me to their base and try to get rid of me.

Then, the moment something gets caught, they will use that as an excuse to oppose the union between me and the Party.

Is it because I already have a conviction within me that the other person must be an idiot?

Common sense tells us that such a thing would not be possible, but the other person’s actions were clearly predictable, as if we had traveled to the future in a time machine.

So even though I was suddenly invited to my girlfriend’s house, I wasn’t able to be that nervous…

Unlike me, Tang Soso’s face was noticeably more stiff than before.

‘hmm···?’

No, should I say that it has gone beyond the point of simply hardening and has become white.

Basically, my skin is very fair, so it didn’t really stand out, but that’s how I saw it.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

No, I have enough reason to be nervous as it is the same as going to my girlfriend’s house to say hello, but why is Dangsoso reacting like this?

Anyone who sees you will think that you have been invited to a den where murderers gather, rather than to your home.

Did something happen at home?

So, when the word “homecoming” came up, did you become so nervous without even realizing it?

It was a sudden thought, but it seemed like a good possibility.

That’s because the person I know, Dang So-so, is quite good at managing facial expressions as he is one of the candidates for the successor to a conglomerate.

But for a party like that to even forget to manage its facial expressions like that… it probably means that it was solid no matter what happened.

‘···hmm.’

What on earth happened?

Was someone who was close to Tang Soso at home murdered?

Or… he received a death threat or something…

Is it because of the party’s reaction, which is unusual in many ways?

So many possibilities began to appear in my mind that it was impossible to count them all with my fingers.

The next thing that came to mind was how I could take advantage of this situation, which was a perfectly reasonable worry from my perspective.

From my point of view, it was worth thinking about it, but if you use it well, you can see a ‘gap’ that can bring you huge profits. Wouldn’t it be a waste to just watch and do nothing?

However… the key is… how to get in between…

While thinking about that in my mind, I slowly moved my arm and poked Tang Soso’s side with my elbow.

Needless to say, it meant coming to my senses.

Fortunately, even though he was stiff from tension, he still had some energy left to receive the signal I was sending.

As soon as his side was touched, Tang Xiaoxiao’s body visibly flinched, and his face, which had been failing to manage its facial expressions in real time, quickly regained its original form.

“···I understand. Then we will go back to the hotel.”

That’s exactly what they said.

Since I was in a state of mental concentration just a moment ago, I decided that staying here no longer would be of any benefit, so I decided to take a step back…

These were not the older brothers who would obediently let Dangsoso go.

“Why don’t we all move together since we’ve come this far.”

As proof, as soon as Dang So-so said that she wanted to go back to the hotel, Cheong-pung, her eldest brother, immediately stopped her as if they had been bickering among themselves for some time.

It was difficult to see it as being unreasonable because it was a justified cause and it was reasonable in its own way.

Is that why?

I was looking embarrassed for a moment before Tang Soso tripped me up and fell.

“···I would like to do that, but this is your first time visiting my house, right?”

Did the title ‘Lee Lee’, a word used to refer to me that came out of Dang Soso’s mouth, really bother me?

Tang Qingfeng’s eyebrows twitched noticeably as he stepped forward on behalf of Tang Teng and the other brothers who chose to back down.

It looks like there is something that no one likes.

However, that didn’t last long.

Tang Qingfeng instantly smiled, as if to show that controlling facial expressions was not the exclusive domain of Tang Xiaoso.

“···That’s right.”

“So, I’m bound to be nervous one way or another… I don’t know anything else, but I want to give you enough time to mentally prepare.”

“Hmm.”

“Besides… your clothes are in bad shape, right?”

No, what’s wrong with my outfit?

Although it ended up being my own misunderstanding, when I first received Mo Yong-cheol’s invitation, I thought it was Dang So-so’s father who was calling me to see me privately, so I took care to get dressed.

Still, isn’t this pretty neat for something that was picked up in a hurry…?

While I was thinking this to myself, Dang Soso, who had concluded the conversation with Cheongpung by saying that he would just go back to the hotel, reached out and grabbed my hand.

“Let’s go.”

“Uh, huh?”

“I also bring samples.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Even the finishing touches are thorough…

In any case, she could end up being a pretty strong opponent in the succession competition, so I won’t leave any room for my older brothers to overcome that…

It seemed like that was what he was thinking as he kept putting pressure on the hand he was using to hold my hand.

Thanks to this, I was frowned upon not only by the three brothers of the Tang family, but also by Tang and others, who chose to back down and retreat since it became difficult to come forward.

The glares coming at me like that were so hot and stinging that I felt like they would pierce my face.

‘Geocha…’

They didn’t even kiss to show off, they just held hands, but their eyes were so cruel.

Normally, if he found out about what I was doing with Tang Soso, he would just kill me.

Of course, considering the way Dangsoso showed herself in front of her brothers and father, the possibility of her revealing the truth about the marriage contract, which could be said to be her weakness, is virtually zero…

‘···I guess there’s nothing bad about being careful.’

Because there are no absolutes in what people do.

In addition to the abusive language, wouldn’t it be possible for the party’s office to make a mistake or something and the contract between us would be exposed?

And the moment that happened, it was safe to say that my lifeline ended there.

If we even consider that possibility… Now that we’re back at the hotel, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some more details to the words we had tailored ourselves on the plane.

Anyway, if you participate in a meal prepared over there, there is a high possibility that you will be asked about various things.

With the same plan in mind, I retrieved the sample that had been placed on the iron table as Dangsoso had said.

It was right after that that Tang Soso grabbed my hand again.

“Then, I will meet you at my parents’ house in the evening.”

So… we left the headquarters of the Sichuan Group, which can be said to be the headquarters of the party, and returned to the hotel.

“···The target has moved.”

“Okay, then we will prepare too.”
