28 I can and will help my husband rebuild Song Corp. (1/2)

Dinner that night passed harmoniously, both families extremely pleased with the upcoming wedding between Hyun-Shik and Ji-Eun.

”We'll make sure everything goes well, President Chung,” Su-Won said. ”You and our daughter-in-law can just relax and we'll take care of everything.”

Hyun-Shik's father was nodding in agreement beside her.

Daughter-in-law, huh? Hyun-Shik smiled at his Mother's words.

”Ah,” Chung Luo-Yong glanced at his own daughter, who was eating her dinner silently beside him. ”It doesn't have to be grand. My Ji-Eun...” he held his daughter's hand. ”She's not really fond of crowds or being in front of a lot of people.”

Hyun-Shik raised an eyebrow at this revelation. This Mini Boss doesn't like crowds? That's going to be a problem. He thought as he stole a glance at her direction. My parents really liked events that showcase their capability and status.

And that meant crowds and media.

Hearing the elder's words, Su-won's face fell a little. ”Oh... If that's the case, maybe we can come to a compromise, dear? Maybe we have to meet on another day to talk about it? We also have to decide on your wedding dress.”

Ji-Eun nodded, agreeing. ”The Regal can help out with that, Auntie,” she said. ”We have an extensive line at our boutique and we'd be willing to help out.”

”Ji-Eun, we've known each other a long time. I've nursed you for a while too.” Su-Won smiled at her. ”Maybe it's time you start calling me Mother?”

Ji-Eun smiled awkwardly. ”It might take some time for me to get used to it,” she said honestly.

”It's okay, dear,” Su-Won held her hand. ”We have all the time we need.”

Ji-Eun smiled at her warm gesture. So, this is how it is, huh?

The elders were talking about all sorts of things they should prepare for the wedding as the children just listened and ate their meal, commenting here and there to show their interest. The invitations, the theme, the gifts for the guests, the food... While it's normal for the groom's family to spearhead and pay for these types of events, one cannot just discount the Chung family's involvement. They are a conglomerate family after all.

Chung Ji-Eun and her father offered to host the wedding at The Regal Hotel, even offering to have her boutique bring in interesting wedding portfolios for them to look at on her convenience. Her staff, as Ji-Eun informed them, had been handling events like these since they've started, so there shouldn't be any problems.

This helped Song Su-Won relax a bit, as she readily agreed to their suggestion.

”This way,” she said, relieved. ”We can have the wedding ceremony sooner rather than later.”

”This wedding preparation,” Hyun-Shik's father, Seungwoo, said. ”Seems to be just a simple gift from our family to yours, President Chung. When comparing it to the value your daughter is bringing to our family... We cannot be any more grateful to you.”
