The Youngest Son of Sunyang - Chapter 104 The Real Patient 1
“Hyung-nim, let’s talk for a moment,” Jin Dong-gi said, eyeing Jin Yeong-gi, the vice-chairman.
“Sure, I’ve got some questions myself,” sensing the unusual atmosphere, Jin Yoon-gi sighed.
“Hyung-nims, do you have to be like this now? Can’t we just stop?”
“This isn’t what you think, it’s not unnecessary worry,” Jin Dong-gi replied.
Jin Dong-gi lightly nudged his younger brother’s shoulder, and they walked toward a rest area, set up like a small park.
The cool night breeze and the pleasant sound of crickets quieted their minds.
“Hyung-nim, what about Sang-gi?”
“He’s on a business trip in Europe. I haven’t contacted him yet. If Father’s condition worsens, we’ll have to inform him.”
“You know about it too, don’t you, Hyung-nim? I haven’t received any calls…”
“Right, I heard about it. He were on his way to Gunsan with Do-jun.”
“What do you think?”
“Do you want to know my thoughts, or do you want to tell me yours?”
“I’m curious about what you’re thinking right now.”
“No, I’m not curious about what you’re thinking.”
In response to Jin Yeong-gi’s cold gaze, Jin Dong-gi’s eyebrows raised.
“Are you suspecting that I caused the accident? Without any changes in share ownership, Father’s sudden passing would benefit me the most. I wouldn’t have to deal with someone like Do-jun.”
“Whether you would benefit the most or not, isn’t that something no one knows for sure? It would take at least six months to reevaluate the share structure.”
“I’m the eldest son. If Father passes away, I become the head of the family. Don’t you think everyone will assume that I will become the chairman? Shareholders and institutions will naturally lean towards me.”
Jin Yeong-gi’s face wrinkled. Eldest sons with nothing lose, while eldest sons from well-established families carry this kind of premium.
When someone dies, everyone who has the power to decide will come to the eldest son for condolences and discuss future plans. Group executives will do the same, and after seeing such a scene, they will determine who the next leader will be.
The eldest son can firmly secure an advantageous position.
“So, what? Did you really do something outrageous?”
The question he had struggled to ask came out easily. After all, it was his older brother he was dealing with.
Jin Dong-gi chuckled and began to size up his younger brother. “You already know my answer, don’t you?”
“Don’t beat around the bush.”
“If Father doesn’t wake up from this, it’ll be sad and heartbreaking, but for me, it’s not a bad outcome. That’s my answer.”
Well, no matter how foolish he is, he wouldn’t be reckless enough to cause an accident like this. It’s more reasonable to think of it as a coincidence that happened.
“What about Do-jun?”
“Are you worried?”
“If I’m not worried, that would be a lie.”
“Handle it yourself. Use your skills. You’re good at making people your own.”
Jin Dong-gi’s ticking tone annoyed Jin Yeong-gi, but he had no intention of fighting.
“One thing to promise. Don’t touch Do-jun.”
“Don’t pretend to be good. If Do-jun threatens, it won’t be me who acts first; it’ll be you.”
Jin Yeong-gi, with a stern face, pointed to his younger brother’s bulging pocket. “You quit smoking so hard, but seeing you start again, you must be anxious. Heh heh.”
Jin Dong-gi began to fidget with the cigarettes in his pocket.
Outside, I know my father was anxiously waiting, but for now, there was nothing I could do. It wasn’t a bad thing to wait according to Grandfather’s wishes.
While my mind continued to be restless and uneasy, Grandfather asked the same thing again.
“What’s the child’s name?”
“Ok Joo-hyun.”
“The one with the squinty eyes?”
“Sung Yoo-ri.”
“Hmm.”
Grandfather continued to scratch his head.
“By the way, do you have anything in mind? It must be Lee Hyo-ri, of course. Her face and figure are superior in every way. It’s a visual that overwhelms the others.”
“But it’s really embarrassing to see. It’s not like the older kids are having kindergarten fun. I don’t know what that’s all about…”
It seems like you don’t like the idea of wearing green and pink clothes, jumping around. I wonder what expression you would make if I told you that girl groups have been thriving for over twenty years with the contradictory but most popular concepts of sexy and innocent.
“Okay, I’ve decided.”
“Who?”
“I’ll be Ok Joo-hyun.”
Grandfather laughed heartily, looking at my disappointed expression.
“Why? Do I seem to have a low eye for women?”
The debut members, who had not yet received much camera massage, had no halo effect. Besides, Ok Joo-hyun, the main vocalist, had a deep resonance in her voice. It’s inevitable that she might not draw as much attention as the other members.
“You, you. Your appearance on TV and your real appearance are vastly different. I’ve met all kinds of beauties in our country. I can give you an estimate just by looking.”
Well, how many beautiful women would refuse when asked by Grandfather to meet? But that’s a different issue.
“Maybe Grandfather has old-fashioned standards for beauty. Heh heh.”
“What? You can’t believe it? Fine. When I call them here, you’ll see that what I’m saying is right.” Grandfather reached for the phone receiver.
“Grandfather! Please believe me and put down the phone.”
Surprised, I tried to snatch the phone. “What do you think will happen if you call them here now? Do you know how many people outside are waiting for us to wake up?”
“Oh, right.” Disappointed, Grandfather put down the receiver. “When I go to Seoul, I’ll definitely call those girls. Let’s have a meal together and take a close look. You guys will also be impressed by this old man’s taste. Hehe.”
Grandfather seemed like a person who had completely forgotten everything and was enjoying his vacation. There were dozens of important matters that came up every day. Grandfather, who spent his time making decisions every day, must have felt so relieved to spend time leisurely contemplating which member of the girl group was better.
