Chapter 207: unnamed

The sound of a slap reverberated around the room drawing gasps from the mouth of the people standing at the door.

Hei-Ran’s hand flew to her cheek which had just been slapped. She looked at her mother with teary eyes and she could feel the hurt and disappointment in her eyes.

Hei-Ran knew she must be feeling embarrassed by all this since the whole family was there. She wasn’t shocked when her mother stroke her other cheek with much intensity.

“Mom!” Seul-Bi called when her mother slapped her sister again. She ran to stand in front of her sister when it looked like their mother was about to slap her again. “Please stop, don’t hit my sister again.” She pleaded, but her mother didn’t mind her.

Mrs Su was seething with anger as she looked at Hei-Ran.

“How dare you do this? How dare you do this to Hei-Ran?” She raised her hand to hit again despite Seul-Bi standing there but her hand landed another person’s face drawing soft gasps from people that were there.

Hei-Ran who had shut her eyes as she waited for yet another painful slap was surprised when nothing came but she heard the sound of a slap. Who did her mother hit?

.....

Hei-Ran slowly opened her eyes and she was surprised to see the person standing in front of her.

‘Jin-hai?’

What was he doing now? He was going to make her mother more angry. Was he crazy? Hei-Ran was about to push him out of the way when he bowed in front of her mother and family.

“Jinhai... what do you think you’re doing?” She asked in a low voice but he ignored her and bowed again.

“Mother I’m sorry for but I can’t let you hit Hei-Ran again. If you want to punish anybody please punish me” He said firmly.

Mrs Su scoffed when she heard him and to everyone’s surprise she slapped him again.

“You think I wasn’t going to hit you? I was actually going to get to you but I might just do it now. Do you know what you’ve both done? You’ve brought shame on yourselves and families. You both looked down on us and decided to deceive us?” She paused and looked at Hei-Ran who was being shielded by Jinhai. “Hei-Ran is this how I raised you? And you Jinhai I’m sure your mother did a better job than this? So why did the both of you decide to fool this way? Are nothing to you that you took our happiness for granted and disrespected like this by leading us on and lying to our face? Was this supposed to be funny? Do you know this will affect the both of you badly? Everyone at your place of work saw the news, do you know how they’ll look at you most especially Hei-Ran when the truth comes out?” She asked angrily.

“I don’t know whose idea this is, and I have a feeling it had to be this daughter of mine, but if Hei-Ran was stupid couldn’t you be sensible? I thought you were better than this. I’m seriously disappointed in the both of you” She snapped.

Jinhai could understand where she was coming from but he couldn’t say anything. She was angry and he didn’t want to say anything now so she wouldn’t get more angry.

Mrs Lee looked at them one more time before staying her gaze on Hei-Ran. They weren’t even trying to explain themselves.

“Hei-Ran, you’ll resign from his company and you’ll either come back to your grandfather’s company or you’ll go to your father’s company, and you both can not be seen together again!” She declared fiercely.

Jinhai who didn’t want to say anything as a sign of respect, shot his head up when he heard her. He looked at her directly in the eye, his face was very serious.

“I’m sorry mother but I can not agree” Jinhai spoke up surprising everybody in the room.

Mrs Su looked at him in surprise, “What did you say?” Her tone was livid.

“What i mean is I can’t let Hei-Ran out of my sight. I can’t let her resign and leave my company and I can’t stop seeing her.” He declared.

“Jinhai” Hei-Ran called out from behind him. Was he trying to have her mother kill her in anger?

“Mother I’ll res-”

“No you won’t” Jinhai cut her short without looking at her. His tone was hard and stern but he couldn’t help it. He wasn’t going to lose her now, not after waiting all these years and most definitely not after his decision and effort to pursue her. He wasn’t going to allow it, not even if her mother says so. It’s not like he had a say but he was going to fight for what he loves.

“And what do you mean by that?” Mrs Su looked at him sternly.

“I...I’m in love with Hei-Ran and I can’t let her go, not even if you ask her to. I’m sorry” He apologized.

Everyone looked shock to hear what he just said, every one except Mrs Su who was looking at him blankly.

Hei-Ran was the most shocked person in the room. What did he just say? She looked at his face to ensure he was only joking, he shouldn’t say anything that would complicate things more than they were already. But his face looked like he was dead serious.

Jinhai looked at Mrs Su challengingly as if daring her to ask Hei-Ran to resign one more time.

“Young Man are you trying to say we don’t have a say on our daughter anymore, because she works for you?” It was father Su who asked. He had been calm because he knew how his wife could be when she was angry, and he had to be cool to calm her down when she goes overboard. Atleast that was supposed to be his role.

“I’m not saying that, I’m just saying I don’t want you to punish Hei-Ran this way. This was all my idea. She had been pressured about the

marriage issue and I was scared of here finding someone else that I convinced her into doing this. But she didn’t know I had an ulterior motive of a making her fall for me. So if you want to punish anybody, then punish me, not her” Jinhai said. He knew the consequences of what he was doing, but he couldn’t let these people look at Hei-Ran with such judgemental eyes even though they were her family. He wouldn’t allow it.

“So you’re saying you like my daughter, and that’s why you did this?” Father Su asked.

Jinhai lowered his head and nodded.

Father Su turned towards his wife and smiled,

“Honey, it seems you were right”

Mrs Su turned to her husband and smiled back, “I told you so. But he’s going to be a stupid son-in-law”

Jinhai looked at the couple in front him, what the hell was happening?.

....

Please don’t open the next chapters, as they are repeated chapters. Don’t know what happened and the chapter published thrice... sigh.

I’ll start writing to replace now.
