Sang Hwa slapped down the constantly ringing work cell phone and clicked her tongue.
The person who had been calling nonstop since morning was the Director of .
“That is for us to decide.”
“Do you think I can’t see through you? You’re all snakes, trying to make a quick buck by using my poor mother and extorting settlement money! I know exactly what you’re up to!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Just wait, you swindlers. I’ll make sure you can’t hold your heads up high!”
The pot was calling the kettle black.
Even an apology call would have been inadequate, but there was no way she could tolerate the screeching highpitched voice that raged on over the phone.
“Look here. We’re the victims, and you’re the perpetrators, okay? And what you’re doing now can be considered as a threat!”
“Hey, did you just accuse me of making a threat?”
“Be careful what you say. Everything is being recorded.”
“……She’s over seventy years old. She can’t eat properly, she can’t sleep well. So please don’t press charges.”
“I told you we’d contact you once the decision is made. Stop calling. We’re not going to answer.”
Sang Hwa gritted her teeth, recalling Seok Dong’s relentless phone calls that had frustrated her till she arrived at the hospital.
“If I could visit Ms. Jae In at the hospital today to wrap up the matter……”
“Didn’t I tell you not to come? Jae In doesn’t want to see you! Would you want to face the perpetrator if you were in her shoes? You’re the perpetrator’s son! This whole mess happened because of whom! Hang up the phone!”
The person kept scratching at the wound when she was trying to be considerate and let it heal.
“It seems like he never gets tired. Such a stubborn person.”
“Sang Hwa, just let me handle the phone calls.”
“No, you stop dealing with him. There’s nothing good about getting involved. But are you really getting discharged tomorrow? So soon?”
“I’m not a real swindler or anything. Why would I stay in the hospital? We’ve already decided to be lenient.”
“Even so.”
“My joints are killing me. And the bland hospital food tastes awful. Let’s go for cold noodles and dumplings tomorrow.”
“Hey, it’s freezing outside.”
“It’s better to eat it when it’s cold. I’m feeling so claustrophobic. Are we going? Huh?”
Unable to refuse, Sang Hwa nodded her head and got up.
“I’ll go ask if you can be discharged tomorrow.”
Even after Sang Hwa left, the work cell phone stubbornly kept ringing. Jae In sighed and took out her own cell phone.
When she selected the album in her photo gallery, the face that appeared was a brightly smiling Yoon Se Na, although her sickness was apparent.
“Mom, your daughter is living like this.”
Jae In chuckled softly and lightly stroked Se Na’s face on the screen.
Her mother, the most beautiful woman in the world, had always missed Korea. However, there was one single reason she hadn’t been able to return to Korea, even on her deathbed.
To protect her precious daughter, Jae In.
At that moment, the TV that Sang Hwa had left on a while ago showed the object of revenge.
Seeing someone who had ruined a person’s life and was still living perfectly well made her bite her lip until it bled.
The man who had been invited to a current affairs entertainment program said he had spent a long time seeking ways for his company’s social contribution and had started actively supporting singlemother households since ten years ago.
<Actually, when I saw the Chairman through the media before, he seemed somewhat cold, that kind of image was strong. But after having this actual conversation, he really seems downtoearth.>
<I often hear that my expression is stiff when I work. But at home, I'm just a middleaged man who fears his wife’s nagging.>
Jae In, who had been glaring at the screen, hurriedly turned off the TV.
He had the audacity to lie with such a shameless face.
She knew it, but that man really didn’t seem human. Suddenly, she felt sick to her stomach.
“Can’t you hear me telling you to leave? You and your mother both said you didn’t want to see my face!”
Around the time dinner was over, Seok Dong, somehow having found out which room she was in, came in with a large bouquet of flowers.
Despite having been kicked out, he kept coming back to bother her. This was already the third time in half an hour. Sang Hwa, who was about to leave for yoga, happened to run into him and was blocking him with a fierce look in her eyes.
“Let’s talk! I even brought flowers!”
“What’s bringing flowers got to do with anything! Won’t you leave?”
Even though Sang Hwa was wearing a patient’s gown, she thoroughly blocked Seok Dong’s gaze towards Jae In, who looked far from sickly and only appeared innocent.
“Ms. Jae In! Let’s not do this and talk face to face, okay?”
“Why would Jae In need to see your face? Leave, now!”
After a long tug of war, the man who had been swaying in Sang Hwa’s grip was finally chased away. The bouquet he had brought was left on the floor.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
