Capítulo 14: You kid of now a days are something else

"What is your name, young lady." Old Grandpa Lee said to Chae Yeong.

"Chae Yeong." Chae Yeong replied softly.

"Whose family gave birth to the beautiful young lady." Grandpa Lee said, smiling.

"Song Tae Hyundai is my father." Chae Yeong said calmly.

"The song family?" Grandpa Lee asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, Grandpa." Chae Yeong said trying to read the old man's expressions, that is still unchanged.

"Where you come from or who your family is isn't that important to me, but I want a good daughter-in-law for my grandson. That punk refused to accept any woman I wanted for him, but he later said he had a wife out there, I was surprised, but I still don't believe him because he never acted like he wanted to be with any woman. Now I'm mad about it, why he would be married out there without letting the family know about it? The question I have for you is, are you sure you are his wife or are you both playing games with me?" Grandpa Lee said suspecting them.

Chae Yeong smiled brightly. "Oh Grandpa, if he's going to play games with you, do you think I can joke with an elderly well responsible old man like you Grandpa? I love Lee Min Ho and he does too. We both had a little promise between ourselves, that's why he never had any interest in any other ladies except me. I was scared when he said you were looking for a bride for him with blind dates, so he asked us to get a marriage certificate so we could claim to be together because we were scared the Lee family would not accept me. We're sorry, grandpa." Chae Yeong said with a little bow. Looking so innocent with her puppy's eyes that no one would ever have wanted to pity her.

"Haha. You kids of nowadays are something else. Why wouldn't the Lee family accept you? I just want a good daughter-in-law who is also bold and capable to be the Lee family's daughter-in-law." Old Grandpa Lee said and laughed lightly.

"I'm not a rich noblewoman, I'm just an eighteen-year-old girl, but I will be nineteen in few months coming. Besides, I met Lee Min Ho in puja, that's where I've been staying with my aunt since I was ten years old. Mom took me there for some reason so I thought I may not be good enough for Lee Min Ho according to the Lee family, but I promise you, Grandpa, I'll prove myself to you and the Lee family that I'm worth being Lee Min Ho's wife." Chae Yeong said with honesty and boldness.

"You started living in a small-town puja when you were ten years doesn't mean you can't be worth being my grandson's wife. However, I may never want to accept this because, in the Lee family, we give our children to people who are worth being among the Lee families. I've tried so many times and found different noblewomen that come from a family with almost as high a standard as the Lee family's, especially for business's sake, but this punk refused, even when I tried hard with different women from a good background. I'd accept you for now because you said he loves you and because he brought you here, which he had never done before. Your family status isn't bad, it's one of the most well-known families in the business world and your grandpa is a good man, we've met before, and he had done something I was so impressed with, that made me want to pay him for being a good man. Maybe I'll say God is great, I can accept you as a fact, but you have to prove yourself that you are a good girl like your grandpa. Today, my impression of you made me want to see how capable and good you are to be part of the family in the future. I want a good, talented, capable, bold confident, mature, and well-behaved girl for my grandson, Lee Min Ho. If you can be this, then maybe you can be part of us." Old grandpa Lee said, smiling.

Lee Min Ho walked to Chae Yeong's side and drew her to him making her left side body hug him.

"My wife got all you mentioned, and even if she does not have any of those features you listed, I will still love her and choose to be with her in this lifetime and next life, Grandpa." Lee Min Ho said, smiling cutely but turned cold again after he finished talking.

"You punk, I never asked you to talk. She's your fiancé, not your wife, if she reaches the age to be called a wife, then we will welcome her with a grand wedding." Old Grandpa Lee said angrily with his cane, raising it to hit Lee Min Ho.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will prove and be everything for Lee Min Ho." Chae Yeong said, smiling.

"Very good." Old Grandpa Lee said, while all the family members that couldn't say anything started to talk one by one.

"Father, don't you think this is not what I want for my son?" Lee Donghan Koo who was Lee Min Ho's father, said, looking a bit angry.

"Shut up, do you have a mouth to say anything? He is my grandson, and you don't interfere, if you're not going to say something good from your mouth." Old Grandpa Lee said to Lee Min Ho's father.

"Father don't mind him, he's just a bit angry." A woman in her early forties said with a fake smile.

"Grandpa, what Dad said is true. Besides, how can you accept a countryside girl to be a part of this family? She's from the Songs family doesn't mean she is useful to our family, their wealth is not even compared to a half percent of Lee's wealth, so why bother." A man in his twenties said angrily, his name is Lee Bon Hwa.

"Either the Song's wealth cannot be compared to the Lee's family wealth, have nothing to do with me. My family's wealth may not be compared to the Lee family, but it's their sweat and hard work that made them reach the level, which also means I don't count on my family's wealth but think of a way to have my wealth and be a capable a woman for the man I love." Chae Yeong blurted in with a coldly calm voice.

Grandpa Lee smiled at her boldness. "The Songs may not be compared to the Lee but their family's history records are okay. They're also counted to be among the successful in the business world and, like the young girl said, she's not counting on her family's wealth but on creating a new world for herself and being a capable woman for her man, how impressive. Do you ever think that way? What have you gained ever, even your brother Lee Min Ho, who manages the family's businesses, also has his own business that made him as young as he is in the most successful young businessman in the record history of the business world. I chose him because he is capable and if she is capable, I will choose her because she is capable." Old Grandpa Lee said coldly this time.

"Father, think very well before you choose this girl, she's not yet accepted, but she could still have a mouth to talk back to Bon Hwa like that." Lee Hang Gyeol said, giving Chae Yeong a cold hateful glare.

"She has the right to talk as far she's my wife, she is also part of this family. None of you have a say on what I want or choose. Whether you like it or not, is not going to stop her from being with me. So, uncle, I advise you not to interfere with my taste." Lee Min Ho said coldly which made everyone keep quiet.

"Seems Lee Min Ho is powerful and strong and willing in the family, no one dared to say another word when he talked." Chae Yeong thought as he studied everyone in the family.

"If she's who he chose then so be it and since Father approved it then it's all right." Lee Donghan Koo, Lee Min Ho's finally said.

Lee Min Ho snorted loudly with a cold look that showed he didn't care if his father liked this or not, he didn't have any right to disapprove even so.

"How's grandma's health, grandpa?" Lee Min Ho asked calmly as he turned his face to Grandpa.

"She's in the room but still weak." Old Grandpa Lee said sadly.

"What's wrong with her, is she sick?" Chae Yeong asked, facing Grandpa.

"She's been sick from a disease for some years that could not be cured." Lee Min Ho said calmly to Chae Yeong.

Chae Yeong did not bother to look at him but turned her gaze to old grandpa Lee.

"Can I meet her?" She asked.

Everyone was surprised, even Grandpa, but old Grandpa Lee nodded.

"What does a stranger want to do with grandma, not like you can treat her. Or are you a doctor?" Lee Bon Hwa from earlier said sarcastically.

Chae Yeong didn't bother to reply to him because he wasn't worth wasting her talks with someone like him.

"Please take me to her maybe I can figure out what's wrong with her." She said to old grandpa Lee.

Grandpa was surprised but curious to know the kind of girl this little girl was, to be so bold to say this.

"Even the top 1 doctor from the foreign land and from here couldn't figure out so who are you to figure out what's wrong with her, even if you know you can't still cure her." Lee Bon Hwa said mockingly.

"Let her meet her." Old Grandpa Lee said calmly and stood up while Chae Yeong stood up and followed the Old man behind.

They got to the old madam Lee who lay down on the bed weakly.

"When had she been weak.?" Chae Yeong asked old grandpa Lee.

"Just this morning but she's getting a little better because she fainted earlier so we called the doctor who gave her some injections.

Chae Yeong nodded her head and walked to her bed. She examined her body, checking her body temperature, her pulse, and some other parts of the body, like the eye. She looked back at Grandpa and said, "She has been poisoned for a long time her symptoms are weakness, vomiting blood, and occasionally fainting,"

"The poison that the woman ingested was highly toxic and was obtained from a plant. This disease is quite rare, and only a few doctors who possess knowledge about botany and herbs can cure it. Fortunately, I have the expertise to treat this condition. However, before I can proceed with the cure, I need to first administer some injections to strengthen the patient's bones and heart. She will require treatment for a few days before I can begin the curative process," remarked Chae Yeong calmly, as she stood up after examining the elderly woman lying on the bed.

Old Grandpa Lee was surprised to hear this from her, she could cure her? After so many doctors that find it hard to do so, most of them couldn't know what the disease was or what caused it. But this young girl knew it all and with her expression, she looked so confident and sure she could do it.

"Are you sure you can do this? So many doctors we brought with money could not cure her but how come you can? We were told she could not be cured, but treatment to keep and sustain her." Old Grandpa Lee said looking so surprised.

Chae Yeong nodded. Everyone was already in the room including Lee Min Ho who was surprised also but smiled.

"Don't worry Grandpa, she will be fine. Can I come back tomorrow to start with some treatments?" She asked old grandpa Lee.

"Yes please save her. if you can, I will forever be grateful." Old Grandpa Lee said calmly.

"Okay but she is still weak, it's late I'd have asked you to get her a herbal plant to cook for her." Chae Yeong said raising her brows questioning.

"Not too late, we can get it." Old Grandpa Lee quickly said.

Chae Yeong nodded and told them what to buy and how they should prepare it.

"Okay but why don't you wait and do that, I don't trust anyone in this house." Lee Min Ho said calmly as ever looking so obedient. Chae Yeong wanted to laugh but people were in there so she couldn't but nod.
