C108 - A Thorn In The Heart

It was finally Mrs. Kwon turn. Seeing that the people before her didn’t receive enthusiastic responses, she was a little worried too. She calmed herself thinking about the fact that what she had in her hands was a treasure. The phoenixes embroidered into the fabric were made out of golden threads. They were so life-like that they seemed like they could almost fly out of the fabric. Madam Kwon should like it, right?

Kwon Sangjoon had his wife and Tiffany by his side as he walked with them to Madam Kwon. Kwon Sangjoon held the box reverently in his hands, his voice full of respect. “Mom, my family wishes you fortune for years to come, and for you to have perfect health.”

Kwon Sangjoon opened the box then. Under the light’s illuminance, a golden shine spread out from the box. Mrs. Kwon took the hanbok out of the box with reverence, displaying the entire piece before Madam Kwon and the entire audience. “Mom, this hanbok is called Two Phoenixes made in Heaven, made by Madam Chang most senior protege. The phoenixes are embroidered with golden threads, I hope you like it.”

Everyone was blown away by how exquisite and how valuable it was. The fact that it was Madam Chang eldest protege’s work must have made the cost extremely high too.

It seems like the third son of the Kwon family had found a great gift and invested a lot of money. The previous few hanboks were not impressive enough to Madam Kwon, she should like it, right?

She turned to address Madam Kwon. “Mom, Madam Chang is the world expert in hanbok making, but she has long since stopped creating new pieces. Now, the next person in line to succeed her name is her most senior protege. I had to move mountains in order to get this piece ‘Two Phoenix made in Heaven’, and this is a show of my family’s respect for you. Not like the others, who brought inferior hanbok.”

She had wanted Sandara Park to hear but had unknowingly offended all the other people that had gifted hanbok as well.

Just as the family was basking in their glow and waiting for Madam Kwon to praise them, all they got was Madam Kwon immensely unhappy chiding, “What do you mean by sending me this hanbok? Are you trying to insult me?”

The three of them were extremely taken aback. Everyone there was at a loss as well.

What happened? Why did Madam Kwon suddenly become so angry? Logically speaking, the previous qipaos were not as impressive and expensive as that one. Even if she didn’t like it, she would just be indifferent, instead of getting angry like that.

What happened?

Mrs. Kwon even more confused, but when she recalled how Sandara Park had mocked her, her heart sank. Was there something that she missed?

Wasn’t it just a hanbok?

Madam Kwon glared at the family, her eyes saturated with utter hatred. “Two Phoenixes ma
