CH 85

Muyeol never shared the matters of the company with her. Even if he tried to, Yiyoung wouldn’t be able to understand him, just as Muyeol was unable to comprehend the medical terms had used while explaining her days at the ER.

“Do you really not know?” Heesu asked.

Yiyoung expected that Heesu would spill something important, so she interrupted Heesu before she could utter another word. “I think you haven’t learned proper etiquette yet. You can’t call a sick patient like this.”

“I apologize if I made you uncomfortable. I felt it was okay to do so since you’re a part of the family now.”

“If you called to congratulate me, then I appreciate that. Yes, I’m being discharged today. Can I hang up now?”

“But this matter is related to your husband!” Heesu chuckled, “See, this is why it’s important for a man to only get married to a woman who’s ready for marriage.”

This entire time, Yiyoung had wanted to be as courteous as possible to Heesu. Had it been Mr. Cha, Mrs. Kang, or Jaeho calling her, her attitude would have been much different. She had heard enough about them from Muyeol. Gong Heesu was different, however, since she had no idea who this woman was.

But hearing her mockery-laden words, Yiyoung ran out of patience. “Hey, Ms. Gong Heesu. If you haven’t learned proper manners, then please do so now. And don’t ever say that I’m a part of your family. I will never be a part of your family unless Muyeol says so. And you probably got engaged to Cha Jaeho because he deceived you with that fake personality of his. He’s a piece of trash, so watch out. He’s different than you think. He’s two-faced, and he physically abuses women without any hesitation.”

“Oh yeah?” questioned Heesu, “Well, maybe the women caused the abuse. They should be careful. Were you abused by him as well?”

The moment Heesu uttered the phrase ‘as well’, Yiyoung realized it; Gong Heesu already knew Jaeho’s true nature.

“You’re crazy. Have fun being beaten by your husband.”

“What did you say?”

“You should be afraid, having to live with a psycho who could attack you at any moment,” Yiyoung added, “You’re not even someone important to me, and you’re ruining my mood for no reason.”

“Mrs. Yoon Yiyoung, you should watch your mouth. You don’t even know what happened to Muyeol because of you and—”

“I’m not going to watch my mouth. Bye.” Yiyoung hung up the phone.

But Heesu’s words still pricked her mind. Yiyoung’s hand began to shake out of anxiousness. ‘Darn it. Was she telling the truth? Did something really happen to Muyeol?’

But Muyeol was so quiet about his matters… There was no way for her to find out if something happened to him at work. Yiyoung was only able to calm down after blocking Heesu’s number. And then Muyeol walked into the room.

“Oh, hey,” Yiyoung greeted.

Muyeol noticed that her food was practically untouched. “Did you have that many texts to send?”

Yiyoung began to continue typing her message to Jaehee, looking as if nothing wrong had taken place. “No, I couldn’t send a single text because this crazy woman named Gong Heesu called, and I accidentally picked it up.”

“Give me your phone.”

“No. I already blocked her number.” Yiyoung stiffly tapped the keys as she typed the message. “Is something going on at work? I heard that that piece of trash is engaged now. Is the marriage a ploy?”

“Nothing’s going on at work. And I don’t care about them.”

“So there’s nothing affecting you at work because of me?”

“Not one bit,” Muyeol insisted.

“Really?” Yiyoung looked at him. “Nothing?”

“I’m a talented person. I won’t let my marriage affect my work,” he said in a robust tone.

“Okay. I’ll trust you.”

“Good.”

Yiyoung shrugged in acceptance. “Also, are you not comfortable with me calling him a piece of trash?”

“Not at all.”

“And what about me calling her a crazy woman?”

“Not a problem.”

“Okay,” Yiyoung exhaled in relief, “Thank you for being on my side.”

Muyeol patted her hair, smiling at her as he did so.
