Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 252

< Episode 252 > White Flower Jumi Hyoran .(1)

‘Why?’

What is this situation like?

He stopped rubbing his eyes and raised his head cautiously while on his knees.

sniffling.

I saw Lee drinking tea in front of me.

To see a woman sitting upright and drinking tea .

full of discord

Is it because he is a person who cannot be in my room?

Probably.

Baekhwajumihyoran.

He is the top-ranking member of the Baekhwa Merchant, a fairly famous merchant guild. She is the mother of Goo Hee-bi and Gu Yeon-seo.

The hostess of the current Gu family was sitting in my room drinking tea.

As for the appearance, they are youthful and beautiful for their age so that we can know where the beauty of Goo Hee-bi and Gu Yeon-seo came from.

At the same time, she was also a woman with rather ferocious eyes, comparable to those of the Gu family.

Took.

As the teacup he was drinking landed on the table, a sound was heard.

It is a room full of silence, so even the smallest sound can be heard loudly.

Mrs. Mi’s gaze is directed towards me.

I flinched involuntarily at those sharp eyes.

“It’s been a while.”

It’s a rather blunt voice.

The fire orb is different from the sister’s personality.

Mrs. Mi is a person who maintains such an infinitely cold attitude.

‘My father feels the same way. It’s because of who Hee-bi Goo resembles.’

I didn’t mean anything.

If I had to pick one with a bad temper, it would be similar to Gu Hee-bi and Nana.

Even if you hesitate for a long time, pout your mouth.

told her

“It’s been a while….”

He paused.

Upon hearing my greeting, Mrs. Mi stopped moving for some reason.

Ichae dwells in the gaze that looked at me.

It’s a strange reaction. Why such a reaction? 遫

“.. That’s amazing.”

“yes ?”

“It means to be greeted by you. How much is this?”

Q

Was it

haha Even when Mrs. Mi stayed at Sega.

Even though it was uncomfortable, I even said hello.

Even that didn’t happen right after my mother disappeared.

It wasn’t even a situation where I, who was completely broken, would do that to someone.

In the meantime, Mrs. Mi left the family.

Just because it wasn’t a situation to get wet with sentimentality.

I tried to half-ignoring her and asked Mrs. Mi what to say.

“…May I ask why you came to see me?”

Is there any reason for her to find me like this?

I was curious about that.

Was my question strange?

Mrs. Mi’s gaze seemed to change strangely little by little.

“I heard that it has changed a lot, but it definitely looks like that.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so it must be different.”

“I wonder if it’s been that long for you…”

He took the last sip of the tea.

Mrs. Mi stood up.

“Since I just came, I just came to see your face, so don’t worry too much about it.”

” .yes?”

“Let’s say a proper greeting later. First, I’ll find your father.”

Having said that, Mrs. Mi turned and headed for the door. I looked at her back and couldn’t help but bewildered.

Are you just going to see the real face?

I don’t know what to look like in an embarrassing situation.

‘What the hell.’

Even though I wonder if there is a reason for it.

It was difficult to judge easily by looking at Mrs. Mi’s appearance.

she is to me

Not a disgusting and scary character.

It was because he was close to a burdensome and heavy figure.

As Mrs. Mi opened the door and was about to leave.

Drooling!

The door opens and someone enters my room.

“Brother! also! You’re skipping meals…”

The culprit was none other than Goo Hee-bi.

Goo Hee-bi came in with the door thrown open and ran into Mrs. Mi, who was about to go ahead.

Goo Hee-bi’s changed expression in the face of the situation was tolerable.

It was a look that spread with embarrassment and fear at the same time.

“mother?”

.It’s fun.”

Mrs. Mi’s answer, as if adding to the words she spat out tremblingly, was.

I was still as dumb as before.

At this, a line of cold sweat could be seen running down Goo Hee-bi’s cheek.

“.. This mother definitely told me to dress and act neatly.”

“That’s not it… I just want to take care of my little brother.”

“Are you even making excuses for your own mistakes?” “ ”

Goo Hee-bi’s mouth is blocked by coldly saying a few words.

It’s been like that for a long time, but Goo Hee-bi was especially weak to Mrs. Mi.

Shouldn’t we say that we are oppressed rather than weak?

Not like a heroine who lights a fire without being afraid of the world.

To his mother, he becomes a gentle sheep.

“.. I tried to find a love letter with you after that, but I think I have a lot to say to you from now on.”

“Uh, mother… that’s it.”

“Follow me.”

Goo Hee-bi looks at Mrs. Mi’s words as if she was shocked.

It looked like he was asking for help.

‘What to do with me?’

There was no way I could help.

In the end, Goo Hee-bi is dragged out without even resisting the hand of Mrs. Mi.

Right after a storm has passed.

I had to watch the visit they had left without even coming to my senses.

The relationship between me and my wife in the previous life.

It felt like it was neither good nor bad.

To put it bluntly, I unilaterally avoided it.

I was afraid of her and scared at the same time.

The day I was walking in the garden with my mother.

There was a day when I met Mrs. Mi by chance.

No, it would be more accurate to say that Mrs. Mi came to visit.

It was the garden of the residence where me, my mother, and Gu Ryeong-hwa stayed.

Maybe it was then

Looking at the eyes of Mrs. Mi, who was looking at me even for a moment.

The time when I was scared and intimidated without knowing it.

As the child of a concubine, the existence of the main wife faced is heavier and more difficult than expected.

I just don’t know how to deal with it properly.

Even if I was polite, she wouldn’t look at me favorably.

much less

If the concubine’s child grows up and sits in the seat of the head of the household, it is half certain.

Will she see me well?

I didn’t think so.

Right after my mother left, when I blame everyone in my family.

I also resented Mrs. Mi.

If you ask me why do you resent me?

Well, maybe it was just lack of iron.

To the point where I hated the world.

Even if it wasn’t her fault, she probably just wanted to resent something.

Even when Mrs. Mi was staying at Sega in the first place.

Because she was busy with work at the upper level, she rarely showed her face in Sega.

Because of that, Gu Hee-bi and Gu Yeon-seo often spent time going back and forth between these places.

‘Wouldn’t that be to your liking?’

Maybe it was.

Me and my mother spending time with their daughters.

Because I don’t know if I didn’t like it that much.

no matter how you think about it

Because there was no reason why she would like me.

So it’s even more unknown.

Right after I became a demon.

In addition to being the target of the Murim Maeng’s eradication.

Around the time when the midfield was going through a mess due to the appearance of the Demonic Cult.

Baekhwa Merchant was the place where they cooperated by spending their wealth through sponsorships and resource donations here and there.

Around the time the other corps held their breath to prolong their lives by taking care of their own rice bowls.

Everyone wondered why she made that choice.

Mi Hyo-ran, the owner of the upper house at the time, said this with a calm expression.

-Since my son has done something wrong, I just need to find a way to take responsibility as a mother.

mother and son

It is too colorless to say that it came out of Mrs. Mi’s mouth.

‘ Why?’

It is a situation that has attracted public attention.

I can respect it if it is a lie that I brought out to make it good.

If we were to question whether Mrs. Hanami would ‘just’ be in the public eye, she would do that.

It was something I wasn’t sure about.

Even though I don’t know much about her.

Aren’t you such a person? Because I had an idea.

As if she would keep her words, she exerted her influence even afterward.

Including the deaths of my children later.

Even if the top of the white flower is shaking.

She remained steadfast.

‘Are you sure you don’t resent me?’

Could it be?

Me who drove my children and husband to death.

How could she not be upset?

I am the offspring of a concubine with whom I have no blood.

It is said that it became something that never happened through regression.

It doesn’t change that she is still a heavy and difficult person to me.

Is this guilt?

It was difficult to say right.

It was embarrassing to even do it.

It was such a feeling.

“.. okay.”

I raised my head at the sudden voice.

A small banquet hall.

And those who fill this room are all blood relatives of the Gu family.

From the father in the upper seat.

I was sitting until the guyeonseo that I hadn’t seen in a while.

It was a banquet to commemorate the return of Ku Hee-bi and I.

As always, it wasn’t flashy.

Not really people who enjoy it.

From what I’ve heard, it was only natural that Guryunghwa wasn’t there because he went back to Geomhu and Hwasan.

It wasn’t a chanting, but a face I hadn’t seen in a long time was sitting there.

‘long time no see.’

The person sitting in front of me.

It refers to Gu Yeon-seo, the second sister.

He was still avoiding my eyes.

It seems that he didn’t really want to come to this banquet.

However, since his mother was also attending, it seemed that he had no choice but to come out.

‘What have you been doing?’

If you take a peek, you can see that he has grown up unlike before.

Both physically and in the spirit of the body.

‘Samsung to four stars.’

At first glance, it was about that much.

Should I say it’s close to the wall?

You must have put in a lot of effort.

In the meantime, Gu Yeon-seo and I meet our eyes for a while.

Every time I turned my head, it seemed like I was still looking at me awkwardly.

“I heard that you got engaged to the Namgung family.”

Excited.

I can feel Goo Hee-bi, who was eating next to me, excited by Mrs. Mi’s words.

Even if you are surprised, I should be surprised. Why is this human being like this all of a sudden?

‘Did I go and get scolded?’

Seeing as you were taken earlier , you must have heard something .

Did you hear anything there?

“I’m going to do it anyway.”

If it goes as I’ve been told.

He will probably go to Anhui himself to hold the engagement ceremony soon.

“Namgung… not a bad family.”

The eyes of Mrs. Mi, who was lost in thought for a moment, were still.

In the middle of it, I’m a bit surprised that Namgoong Se says it’s not bad enough.

Still, he is a family of four generations.

“Is the other child okay?”

“…yes? Ah yes… it’s okay… that’s right.”

I was momentarily taken aback by Mrs. Mi’s question.

I didn’t know she would ask me that.

Did you like my answer?

Mrs. Mi nodded.

“…he said he was staying at Sega.”

“yes.”

Perhaps he should be sleeping by now.

Since the present place is a banquet of blood relatives, Namgoongbia did not attend.

I’m praying for an uncomfortable seat.

Although he seemed to want to come.

However, I couldn’t just call and sit him down.

Rather than because she is uncomfortable.

It was because I was uncomfortable.

It was too quiet to be called a banquet.

It’s my father, but he doesn’t talk at all.

Gu Hee-bi, who should be noisy at this point, also doesn’t speak, so it’s a very uncomfortable atmosphere.

slurp.

while the silence continued.

Mrs. Mi takes a sip of tea as before and continues talking.

“I heard that Moyong’s daughter is also staying.”

I look around at the voice.

I was wondering who to ask.

But looking around, no one answered.

Seeing that Mrs. Mi’s eyes are also on me.

‘You’re asking me.’

Because I wanted to, I felt like I was going to put up with it for a moment.

I feel like this is the first time since the first day of regression.

“That’s right.”

If I said I heard it, I would have already heard it.

What do you want to hear?

“.. Approaches were all rejected from this side, but Tang Wen and Mo Yongga collaborated in Shanseo…”

Ah.

Are you trying to blame?

On the business side, Mo Yongga’s ability is considerable. Any guild can create great profits by collaborating with them.

That’s why I was denied access from the Baekhwa Merchant .

It’s just that I suddenly succeeded in Kuga.

The top of the white flower is the top of the white flower.

The feeling of Kuga being Kuga was the part that could be awkward for you.

‘It’s not something I should apologize for.’

Even so, I was looking at Mrs. Mi with a slightly trembling feeling.

Mrs. Mi nodded and told me.

“I heard that you worked hard. You have suffered.”

“…yes?”

The sudden praise left me speechless.

I didn’t know you would say something like that.

“Uh…” Eg

…

Mrs. Mi said the words.

It looked like he was thinking hard about something.

It also seemed like something wasn’t going my way.

Or maybe you’re thinking of something else.

‘I wish I didn’t care if possible.’

I still couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

‘Why did you come back?’

It was right after her mother disappeared that Mrs. Mi left the family home.

In her previous life, she returned to the three worlds.

It was around the time I exceeded the terms and conditions.

Maybe….

‘It’s time to rise to the position of Sogaju.’

roughly it will

‘What’s wrong?’

If there’s a problem with the top, I don’t think it’s going to go away.

Because something went wrong, Mrs. Mi’s behavior doesn’t seem urgent.

Of course, as a person who has been active for a long time as a talented upperclassman.

The ability to hide such a process would be great, too.

‘I haven’t heard of anything happening at the top of Baekhwa.’

Even if I recall the events of my past life anyway.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been out of work, so many things have changed, so it’s useless now.

A little more uncomfortable time passes.

The banquet came to an end and it was time for everyone to stand up.

My father, who hadn’t said anything throughout the meal, got up first.

Followed by Mrs. Mi and Sister Gu.

By the way, Goo Hee-bi was caught as if she was halfway dragged out.

Even on the way out, Mrs. Mi glanced at me once, and as I was leaving, I was

secretly picking up dumplings and bumping into her, so I almost got caught in the neck.

I had to swallow it with water and put on a blank expression.

“What the hell…?”

I still don’t know what her intentions are.

I wondered if I wanted something.

I couldn’t tell because she didn’t say anything.

after a while

swish-!

Namgoongbia, who was swinging her sword in the moonlit night at her residence, faced a sudden visitor.

Although it was the first person I saw as Namgoong Biah.

“nice to meet you.”

Right after hearing about her identity, I couldn’t help but close my hazy eyes.

yet.

The guest asks in a calm voice to Namgoong Biah, who is very nervous.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

I thought of knowing Bi Namgoong.

I wondered if there were refreshments in my place.

Belatedly, I wondered if there was a car for me to come.

I had to despair because there was no such thing as that.
