Even in the midst of a meal gathering, Choi Yujin glanced at Yoo Yeonseo. When their eyes accidentally met, she smiled brightly enough to create an illusion of flower petals fluttering around.

"So, you're happy, right?"

Just because he called her "mother"?

Yoo Yeonseo felt awkward, but outwardly, he maintained composure. In reality, while riding in Yoo Eunho's car, Yoo Yeonseo had considered various thoughts.

He seemed quite considerate in front; however, what about behind the scenes? In the present era, conglomerates like Choi Yujin often engaged in power struggles among family members or covered up scandals, portraying a negative image.

But the current Choi Yujin was showing a different side. Was that also a facade? If it was, he was a good actor.

<Master, it's advisable not to overly trust past media.>

"Isn't it somewhat reflective of reality?"

<Well, it doesn't seem appropriate in the current situation at least.>

Even Beta had something to say. Yoo Yeonseo found himself rebuked like scolding an actor who couldn't distinguish between reality and drama.

Receiving such comments from a machine hurt his pride. As someone from the year 2207, there was nothing else to refer to in this era.

"Well, how was Berlin?"

"I went too often and got a bit tired. But the weather was good."

The relationship between Choi Yujin and other family members seemed quite good. Chairman Yoo Changho favored Choi Yujin more than his own son Yoo Gunmin, and Yoo Gunmin and Yoo Eunho showed respect.

While discussing business for a long time, Choi Yujin took care of the neglected Yoo Yeonseo.

"Oh, Yeonseo, you're shooting a movie, right? How is it?"

"I think the filming will be finished by the middle of this week."

"Really? I wanted to take charge of the production as well, but let me handle the next movie for sure."

Ah, Choi Yujin was a media conglomerate. He also handled the distribution of 'Baekhoham' at JSENM. Come to think of it, there was a movie where Yoo Yeonseo was the lead actor that caused a controversy for monopolizing the screens. Apparently, it crossed the breakeven point with long-term screen monopoly, but sullying such a natural background was also a talent.

"It's okay, Mother. Thank you for caring."

"Goodness, did you hear that?"

Choi Yujin interrupted again, patting Yoo Gunmin's shoulder with his other hand, making a fuss.

Even though he was technically his mother on paper, saying such things felt a bit... refreshing, honestly.

Chairman Yoo, who seemed strict, was smiling warmly as he looked at his beloved daughter-in-law. Well, this atmosphere was unfamiliar. Yoo Yeonseo decided to focus on eating.

"Okay, what are your plans after filming is over?"

"I have to prepare for returning to school while taking a break."

Anyway, since they made a promise. The seemingly casual remark made everyone at the table look happy.

Seeing his grandson, who used to be noisy, behave so well now, Chairman Yoo was satisfied.

"Good. Make sure to attend family events regularly this time. Your brother always attends without fail; it'd be fine if you don't miss it, right?"

"Yes, well..."
