Chapter 232 - Kindergarten Trick.

Name:Pay With Your Heart Author:
At the table Dan-Han pulled out a seat for Eun-sun to sit. He was about to sit by her side when his father spoke up, "Dan-Han you should come sit here so you can keep Mi-Ok company, I'm sure Eun-sun won't mind." He said with an innocent expression look.

"Since you invited them, you should keep her company. And who said Eun-sun doesn't mind?" He cocked a challenging brow at his father who was seething with anger as he glared at Eun-sun. Dan-Han knew what he meant by his words. He was trying to put Eun-sun into a difficult position. Was he expecting Eun-sun to say she minded him sitting with another girl who was been proclaimed as his fiancee? Cheap tricks! Dan-Han hissed in his mind as he took his seat not minding his father's words.

Eun-sun sighed in her mind when she felt the tension building around the table, but there was nothing she could do. She had to maintain her cool and let Dan-Han handle it, but no one should please come at her.

Seeing how the tension at the table was going to affect her future daughter in-law Mrs Lee spoke up, "Enough from you men, let's just eat." She smiled and took her seat at the table too. The Choi's were about to turn red with anger. The embarrassment was becoming too much. Dan-Han wasn't even giving them face at all. Mrs Choi turned to look at Mrs Lee who was acting a mother in-law doting on her son's wife, and she grind her teeth lividly.

Mi-Ok had her hand clenched tightly under the table as she looked at Eun-sun. Their gaze met and she hated the inscrutable look on Eun-sun's face.

'This bitch was mocking her?'

Her face turned darker when she saw Dan-Han piling up food on Eun-sun's plate and staring at her lovingly. They were both staring at each other with love sick eyes which made everyone at the table want to draw blood, everyone except Mrs Lee who was proud of her son. It was a blessing to see him this way. Ah, she loved Eun-sun. She had brought the best out of her son, allowing to see this side of him before she dies.

Mi-Ok couldn't take it, she had to do something and embarrass Eun-sun. After a few seconds she faked a gasp drawing the attention of everyone at the table except Dan-Han, "Mother I think I remember her now." She exclaimed.

"Remember who?" Her mother asked in confusion.

"Her!" She said pointing her hand at Eun-sun who was about to scoop some food into her mouth. She paused and looked at her. The food on the table were so mouth watering and knowing they were all prepared by Mrs Lee made her stomach rumble. She impatiently waited to hear what Mi-Ok had to say before eating her food. If she needed to talk she'd have to do it with an empty mouth.

"You know her?" Father Lee asked interestedly.

"Yes father."

'Father? Oh please!' Eun-sun rolled her eyes inwardly. She knew this types of stunts. Pfft!.

"From where?" Her mother Inquisitively asked.

With her gaze still fixed on Eun-sun she replied, "Mother she was the mannerless waiter at the restaurant who hit me." Eun-sun couldn't help but chuckle, she had expected something better. Eun-sun's action made everyone to look at her including Dan-Han. Not out of surprise though but with pride and amusement.

This girl was always making him proud. Now he understood why Mi-Ok's face looked grim the moment she laid eyes on Eun-sun earlier. His baby was always causing beautiful chaos. He was definitely going to reward her later.

"She's a waitress?" Father Choi asked with an undermining look which made Mrs Lee frown, she didn't like his tone. And his daughter was slapped? How come he didn't know that?

"She's the girl who slapped you?" Mother Choi asked lividly her eyes now staring daggers at Eun-sun who was unperturbed by their family drama. Dan-Han was looking uninterested.

"How dare you slapped my daughter?" Mrs Choi demanded in an angry tone. Eun-sun wasn't surprised to hear the woman's dumb question. But shouldn't she have asked her daughter that stupid question?

Eun-sun looked at Mrs Choi who was angrily waiting for her answer. "Ma I'm not sorry for hitting your daughter, she hit me first. She was being rude and and she was being unreasonable, and I couldn't be disrespected in that way." Eun-sun explained even when she didn't want to. But she couldn't be totally rude since Dan-Han's parents were there. Even though his father didn't like her, she still couldn't behave poorly.

"You bitch!." Mi-Ok roared. "Who are you calling rude?" She roared, Mrs Lee cocked a surprised brow at her. She was shocked to see the girl could behave like that. She was about to say something when Eun-sun sighed and spoke up.

"Miss Choi, can you please behave properly. This is dining table, if you don't want to respect yourself then respect your elders at the table." Eun-sun advised but that only made Mi-Ok's mood worse. Was she trying to lecture her? Was this bitch trying to lecture her?

"I'll teach you a lesson." She snapped at Eun-sun who again was about to scoop the black bean noodles into her mouth halt the movement of her hand. Why was this girl being a crass bitch?

She looked at Mi-Ok and smiled, "I'd like to see you try."

"Dan-Han she's been disrespectful." Mrs Choi said when she heard Eun-sun's reply. Dan-Han scoffed and looked at her.

"From how I see it, your daughter is annoying my girlfriend. So if you can't control her, I will." He spoke with calm and unhurried tone.

"Dan-Han are you being petty and rude? Mi-Ok is a your fiancee I've chosen for you, so show some respect" Father Lee said prompting Dan-Han to look at him.

"Respect?" He incredulously asked. "And did you say I'm being petty? You're the one who is being disrespectful and petty here. You calling them here is the definition of being petty and disrespect."

"Lee Dan-Han watch mind your tongue, I'm your father!" Father Lee snapped but Dan-Han didn't flinch rather he scoffed.

"Being an elder does not mean you have leverage to disrespect a younger generation. Respect is earned and it's reciprocal. You're the petty one here and I'm ashamed you stooped this low. I expected a real fight, and not some kindergarten prank!" He drawled at his father before turning to Chairman Choi who flinched under his cold gaze.

"Your project file on my desk, consider it cancelled as well as every other collaboration."

"You can't do that!" Father Choi protested. "Your father approved those projects."

"Then you can ask him who runs the Lee household." Dan-Han snarled at him before holding Eun-sun's hand. "Honey, let's go." He said before standing up to his feet. Eun-sun looked at him in shock before looking at her untouched plate of black bean noodles. Was she going to leave this behind? She wasn't going to taste it?

Dan-Han understand the look on her face and he couldn't believe she was willing to eat under this situation. Eun-sun sighed as she stood up to her feet. Her poor noodles! To think it was made by Mrs Lee made her more sad.

Dan-Han signalled one of the maids and instructed her to pack a plate of noodles for the sulky and shameless girl. He smiled when her face lit up and Mrs Lee Weakly smiled at her too. She stood up and gave Eun-sun a hug, "I'm sorry honey." She apologized to her. This was all her fault, if she hadn't invited Eun-sun over she wouldn't have experienced what she did.

"Mother is okay. I got compensated with your Noddles." Eun-sun smiled, completely ignoring all the eyes glaring at her. She had seen more than this, she had suffered more rejection and humiliation than this.

"It's okay. Mother will cook more for you." Mrs Lee told her making her smile.

Soon the packed noodles were given to Dan-Han who received it before looking at his Father one more time and then at Chairman Choi and his family.

He was about to walk away when he remembered something so he turned to look at Choi's, "One more thing, let this be the last time any of you appear before her or try to embarrass her, or worse address your daughter as my fiancee."

"And what if we do?" Father Lee challenged.

"Then I'm sure none of them will miss having a tongue. And a suicidal trip to the underworld

can ensue after they declare bankruptcy. You all can test me."
