The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

Ae Gyo woke up in the morning and was surprised by the presence of Celia who was struggling in the kitchen. His mouth was open in disbelief because the son-in-law who was never expected in the family even understood his duty and immediately placed himself as a son-in-law.

"God! The celia? What are you doing?" exclaiming Ae Gyo approaching Celia.

"Eh? Mammy? Is she awake?" Celia smiled at Ae Gyo while carrying the food she had cooked onto the dining table.

"Celia, I didn't think you could cook? Is delicious?" Although praised, Ae Gyo still wanted to prove that Celia's cooking is delicious.

Ae Gyo's eyes sparkled as he felt food enter his mouth. "It's so good, Celia!"

Celia smiled with relief.

"How can you do this?"

"My mom has a small shop. And since I was a kid I've always helped my mom."

"Ah, so is it. I'm sorry, I'm so evoking your memory of your mother."

"It's okay, Mom." Celia continued her work of arranging food on the table.

At 07:30 in the morning, everyone was ready in their work clothes and gathered at the dinner table. Byung Man asked who had prepared this much breakfast.

"Celia, baby. Our second daughter-in-law prepared it." Ae Gyo proudly answered her husband's question.

"Hmm?" Byung Man was hesitant. But when he felt Celia's cooking enter his mouth, he rounded his eyes in disbelief.

Byung Man is speechless. He just continued his breakfast until the meal was finished.

Kang Joon and Celia looked at each other, then smiled. A sigh of relief they let out.

But on the one hand, Hye Ri is growing hatred towards Celia. He could not accept that Celia should get praise from her in-laws.

"Oh yes, Celia. Has Mi Ran gone to school?" ask Ae Gyo suddenly.

"Already, Mom. But..."

"Then just move the school! Lee Ni's school foundation is now held by Hye Ri. Wouldn't it be better if Mi Ran went to school there?" the Ae Gyo.

"Eh?!" Hye Ri and Celia looked at each other.

Hye Ri's eye gaze hinted for Celia to reject Ae Gyo's request.

"That's a good idea" Byung Man said. "Hye Ri, please take care of Mi Ran's transfer to our school" he continued.

Byung Man's orders certainly cannot be denied anymore by Hye Ri. He could only nod and try to smile.

Before leaving for work, Kang Joon said goodbye to Celia. They had a light conversation in the room.

"What's your next plan? Do you want to be a housewife?" ask Kang Joon.

Celia fell silent. He also enjoyed the role of wife and daughter-in-law in the Lee family. But, there are things that sometimes make him miss the entertainment world that has raised his name.

"Dad said you could go back to work if you wanted to. You work for Byung Han's uncle anyway. I'm not too worried about that" Joon continued.

Celia smile. "alright. If the job doesn't take up time, I'll take it."

After Kang Joon's departure, Celia's phone rang. A call from Jimmy Choo. Celia decided to meet her manager at the NT Entertainment office. Certainly after getting permission from Ae Gyo.

Arriving there, Celia meets Byung Han who offers her a job.

"I'm glad my brother has accepted you as the daughter-in-law of the Lee family. He also advised that you can still have a career. But, you should know the limits."

Celia seemed silent. In front of him there is a very good film script, according to him.

"I'm going to play with Henry Lau?" ask Celia.

"yeah. The chemistry you produce makes the audience satisfied. Just chill! As per Kang Joon's request, there will be no exaggerated scenes."

Celia seemed to think for a moment. It has been a long time since he returned to this business. It was impossible to just waste the opportunity.

"Celia!" Byung Han patted Celia on the shoulder. His foster son also did not give an answer.

Celia scrunched her forehead. "Low-self?" Celia had never felt inferior to the Lee family at all.

"So from that, you'd better take this offer. Even though you can't match your standing with Hye Ri who is a graduate abroad."

"What's? Overseas?" Celia doesn't understand.

"Well, the Lee family only chose a qualified daughter-in-law, like Hye Ri. She is beautiful, smart and studies abroad. His family is also."

Celia almost choked on hearing all of Byung Han's words.

"Sir Hye Ri graduated abroad? Can't be trusted!" inner Celia.

After signing a job contract, Celia left the NT Entertainment building and met someone. Of course that person was Hye Ri.

Celia wanted to scout Hye Ri with some questions. Celia comes to Hye Ri at her office, the Lee family foundation.

"I can't believe big brother would lie this far just to be a daughter-in-law in the Lee family. Why is he lying?!" snapped Celia.

"Shut up! You don't know anything about me! So don't judge me! Take care of your own business!" Hye Ri pushed Celia's body back.

"Auntie Hye Mi would definitely be very sad if she knew she didn't admit it!" Celia won't lose.

"My mom loves money. He wouldn't mind if I lied for money! Wh why? You mind?!" Hye Ri pushed back Celia's body.

Celia shook her head slowly. Not wanting to make a fuss in the office of her husband's family-owned foundation, Celia chose to leave. He promised Ae Gyo he'd be home before dinner.

In the evening, Celia had finished arranging the food on the table. Again Celia cuisine is able to make the Lee family amazed by the taste that fits.

"Hmm, this is just a dream daughter-in-law. He's our son-in-law, baby." Ae Gyo praised the cuisine Celia made. He looked at the husband who also agreed with the opinion of the wife.

Celia and Kang Joon smiled with relief. Now their relationship has really been sanctioned by the Lee Family.

After dinner, Celia cleaned up the leftovers on the table. Although a little tired, Celia tried her best as a daughter-in-law.

"We need to talk!" Someone suddenly came over to Celia. Who else if not Hye Ri.

"What's wrong? Just talk here!" ketus Celia's. Their conversation this afternoon was still ringing in Celia's mind. He could not believe that Hye Ri would do such a big lie just to raise her social status in the eyes of others.

"You! Come with me!" Furious Hye Ri pulled Celia's arm and led her to the back garden.

"Deliver! Do you want a sister?" tanya Celia was no less furious.

"I really don't believe you, Eun Chae. How could it be that you prepared breakfast and dinner that you were accepted into the Lee family. This is so unfair!"

Celia smiled a grin. Apparently Hye Ri is jealous of the success that Celia got.

"I'm not the big brother who has to lie to be the daughter-in-law in the Lee family!" circus Celia.

"What did you say?! You don't think you have any lies, do you? What about Mi Ran? Who is the father of your bastard son?! Why have you been hiding Mi Ran's identity all this time?" hye Ri's shout was already on the verge of her limit.

"Mi Ran isn't Celia's biological child!" A voice came up in the hot conversation that night.

"Kang Joon?" Celia frowned in surprise.

"What did you say?!" Hye Ri was stunned to hear Kang Joon's confession.

"WHAT?!" And it turns out that not only Hye Ri heard Kang Joon's statement, but also Byung Man and Ae Gyo. They sit where they stand.

Celia closed her eyes for a moment. He couldn't believe that all of this had to be uncovered now. Until his eyes caught the figure who also heard Kang Joon's statement.

"Mi Ran!" exclaimed Celia who saw Mi Ran running away from that place.
