The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

Cunning Hye Ri

This morning, Celia's return was startled by Ji Hyo's arrival. The girl who was always smiling made Celia not feel good. I don't know what made him want to be close to Celia.

"Don't I ever say, I want to know what kind of woman Oppa Kang Joon likes." Ji Hyo replied without any burden.

Having no reason to deny Ji Hyo's presence, Celia accepts. Even now Ji Hyo came to the stall and helped Celia.

Sang Mi just shook her head slowly with Ji Hyo's spoiled behavior. "Hopefully this girl is not as evil as Hye Ri. I just want my daughter to live quietly, Lord," said Sang Mi.

But over time the presence of Ji Hyo made a mess of the stall atmosphere. Not being careful, Ji Hyo spilled soup into the customer's clothes and angered the customer.

Celia who initially accepted now could no longer let Ji Hyo stay there any longer. Celia finally decides to contact Kang Joon.

Joon who is working cannot refuse Celia's request to immediately pick up Ji Hyo. Actually Joon wants to tell Hwan who came to pick up. But since Ji Hyo insists on not going away if it wasn't Joon himself who picked her up, so Joon is now forced to leave his job and ask Hwan to take his place temporarily.

"Don't play around anymore, Ji Hyo!" reprimand Joon when he arrives at Sang Mi's stall.

"Opa! I have no bad intentions for Celia. I just want to know him. I want to be his friend. Oppa knows for myself if all this time I have no close friends. I only have Oppa!" Ji Hyo's words sounded pitiful in Celia's ears. This girl is not evil. He just needs someone to be by his side.

"Tomorrow you can come back here again. But now you go home first. My mom and I are working. Come when we're home." Celia said something that made Joon gawk. But not with Ji Hyo.

The girl was very pleased with the sentence Celia had uttered. Reflexively, Ji Hyo directly hugged Celia.

"Thank you, Celia. Thank you!"

Joon finally drove Ji Hyo back to his house. During the trip, Joon was silent. He was speechless at what this girl beside him was doing.

"I'll take you home." Joon said flat and impressed cold.

"Opa! Don't take me home. I don't want to go back home. Hmm, how about I come with you at the office?"

Joon glanced sharply at Ji Hyo. "I'm at work, not playing around. If you want to play around, then go to an amusement park or mall."

Ji Hyo pursed her lips. "Yes, yeah. Sorry Oppa. I'll just go back home then."

Joon shook his head slowly and refocused on the street in front of him.

Meanwhile, since then Hye Ri's phone continues to vibrate. But Hye Ri had no intention of answering the call. He just stared lazily at the flat object on his desk.

The vibration of the phone that continues to interfere with his concentration, finally makes Hye Ri forced to answer the call. The call came from his mother.

"Hello, what's up, ma'am? Didn't I tell you..."

"Hye Ri! It's so bad!"

Hye Ri's eyes widened. From the tone of his voice, his mother spoke in a panic and nervous manner.

"Mother! What was? Speak clearly!" Hye Ri finally started to get curious.

"It turns out that the Mi knew what the mother was doing."

"artificial? What deed?" Hye Ri was confused.

"This ... About the child you gave birth to."

Hye Ri was immediately stunned in disbelief.

"Sang Mi saw mom when she dumped your baby." Hye Mi's voice sounded frightened.

"Where is the baby going?" Guiltless Hye Ri asked casually.

"In front of Sang Mi's house."

"WHAT?!" Hye Ri was very upset to hear the mother's story about the arrival of Sang Mi that night. Even Hye Mi tells about Sang Mi's threat if Hye Ri still interferes with Celia and Joon's relationship.

"AARRGH!" hye Ri shouted annoyedly. "Damn it! Why is it like this? Not even have I lived a quiet life, now a new problem arises!" hye Ri's grumbling never goes out.

After work, Hye Ri accidentally goes home to her old house and meets Hye Mi. Hye Ri wanted to hear from Hye Mi directly regarding Sang Mi.

Hye Mi told me everything without anyone being covered up. Hye Ri clenched her hands and desperately wanted to slap her mother. But he said it, knowing it would only make the atmosphere worse.

"What do you think about throwing the child in front of Aunt Sang Mi's house? Isn't that too obvious about the baby's identity?" Hye Ri's voice sounded slow but full of emphasis. His eyes showed something else. Or rather, anger.

Hye Mi who was frightened, immediately apologized to the princess. Even though the word sorry is free. Because now everything is starting to break down.

While passing through the quiet streets, Hye Ri saw the troubled Sang Mi carrying groceries. Instantly a grin was imprinted on his face.

"Auntie Sang Mi... How dare you threaten me! You and your daughter are both very happy in my life. How can you raise a child who is not your flesh and blood? You even know that boy is my son. You keep raising him. Or maybe ... This is your plan to ruin my life? Old lady don't know herself. Just look what I can do to you!"

With a gaze full of anger, Hye Ri stepped on the gas pedal of her car deeply. He drove at high speed towards someone who was about to cross the road.

Reacting from the opposite direction, Sang Mi was so surprised to see a car speeding towards her.

"Amkkhh!" The Mi screamed when the car hit her vulnerable body.

Sang Mi's body was toppled. The groceries he brought fell scattered. Fresh blood began to pour from Sang Mi's head. The old woman wanted to ask for help. But his voice did not come out.

While the car that hit Sang Mi is still stopped right in front of Sang Mi's body. Hye Ri was frightened when she saw her aunt who started to be covered in blood.

Even Sang Mi's eyes had a chance to meet Hye Ri's eyes. With trembling hands, Hye Ri tried to drive back her car.

Hye Ri had a chance to see if Sang Mi recited her name before her eyes closed. Hye Ri hit the gas and left Sang Mi's body lying in the street.

On the other hand, Jae Joong has just been shopping for his needs for a week. Jae Joong deliberately shopped a lot so that he did not need to always go out of the house. Cooking at home after work.

Suddenly his eyes were fixed on a body lying on the road. The road is a bit lonely. And street lighting is also dim.

With a quick step, Jae Joong approached the lying body. Jae Joong gave a startled cry.

"God! Is he a hit-and-run victim?" muttered Jae Joong, then turned the woman's body.

"Huh?! Aunty?" Jae Joong again gave a startled cry. He checked the condition of Sang Mi's body.

"Auntie! Aunt Sang Mi! Wake, Bi!" Jae Joong patted Sang Mi's cheek gently.

Not wanting to waste time, Jae Joong immediately lifted Sang Mi's body and took her to a nearby clinic.

Joon walked hurriedly down the stairs. He meets Ae Gyo who asks him.

"Kang Joon, where are you going these nights?" ask Ae Gyo.

"Mom, I have to go. Celia called. Something happened to him," Joon replied with a panicked face.

Ae Gyo just nodded and invited his son to leave. Joon drove his car pretty fast. After getting a call from Celia regarding Sang Mi's condition, Joon immediately wants to see his wife.

There was the sound of Celia crying when she contacted him earlier. Makes Joon unable to think clearly for now. Joon also asks Hwan to go to Celia's house and look after Mi Ran. There was no way the little girl he had taken to the hospital, he thought.

At the hospital, Celia and Jae Joong wait for news about Sang Mi who is in the ER room. They sat in the front waiting chair of the room. Celia still shed her tears. Jae Joong continues to calm Celia down and strengthen the woman.

After waiting for a while, finally a doctor came to see them.

"Family Lady Ju Sang Mi!" call doctor.

"Yes, Doctor. How's my mother doing?" Celia immediately stood up to be followed by Jae Joong.

"Sorry, Miss. We've tried our best. But God wants something else."

The doctor's words made Celia's body shed. Luckily Jae Joong immediately caught up to him. Jae Joong held onto Celia's arm and calmed her down.

"Mothers... Hiks. Mom, I'm sorry..." Celia hysterical.

Jae Joong also felt what Celia felt. He also felt what it was like to lose our dear parents.

"Celia, sit down! Calm yourself!" Jae Joong asked Celia to sit on the waiting bench in front of the ER room.

"Mothers... I'm sorry..." Celia kept muttering.

His weak body made him need a backrest that could calm his heart. Celia rests her head on Jae Joong's chest.

Unable to resist, Jae Joong clasped Celia and stroked her arm gently. Jae Joong gave words of encouragement to Celia.

"Stare Celia! Your mother is calm now. I'll find out what really happened to him!"

Without them realizing from a direction not too far away, Joon was stunned to see the sight that made him clench his hands. Joon doesn't even think that Celia is that close to Jae Joong and has to cuddle in public.

Various kinds of questions began to rage in his heart. "What is Jae Joong and Celia related to? Why do they look unusual?"
