Jiyoung leaned against the bedrest, recalling the conversation she had with Hajoon at the hospital.
The conversation continued after he drew a line, implying that as a friend, he thought it would be better to quickly settle things with S Group.
Kang Hajoon, do you have anything to ask me? Anything to request?
I don’t.
You know. I knew it.
Since I know, there’s no need to ask, and I don’t need help.
…Kang Hajoon, let me ask you one thing.
Speak.
Have you ever seen me as a woman, even for a moment?
I don’t know why suddenly you’re curious about that, but for me, there’s only my wife as a woman. It will be the same in the future.
He was indeed an upright man. Jiyoung, who liked his honesty, shook him relentlessly until the end.
After that day, Jiyoung drank every day.
Since hearing the news that Jongwon had been arrested, she hadn’t stepped outside the house, and she turned off her phone.
She had nightmares every day, and she even heard hallucinations.
Did you attach yourself to Park Jongwon because you couldn’t marry Kim Jiyoung and wanted revenge?
Then did you and Jongwon plan to kill Han Seoa?
But then Hajoon went to the hospital!
You have to recognize thick-faced people. Did he give you wounds and medicine?
There’s no separate psychopath.
Still, judging by your recent absence, it seems like a trace of conscience, even if it’s just a speck.
“Ack!”
Jiyoung screamed, pulling her hair in frustration.
At that moment, Jiyoung’s startled mother burst into the room.
“What’s wrong, Jiyoung!”
“I’m annoyed! I’m so annoyed!!”
As Jiyoung poured out tears, her mother patted her back.
“Oh my… what’s going on… That’s right, you should’ve given me a good scolding. I can persuade your father…”
“…Huhu, I wanted to get rid of her.”
“What?”
“I wanted to make Han Seoa invisible to me!”
Her mother’s eyebrows narrowed mercilessly, and she pushed Jiyoung away.
“Again with that story? You didn’t secretly team up with Manager Park, did you? Manager Park promised to keep it a secret, so he asked you to tell Hajoon to go to him, right?”
“…”
Jiyoung’s tightly closed lips trembled, and her mother’s eyes, which had doubted the possibility, widened.
“What a thing to do.”
It was Jiyoung’s father.
“If that’s really true, don’t you know you’re an accomplice? Park Jongwon is currently denying the charges, but if the guilt is admitted, you might fall with him! There’s someone to mess with. You’re messing with the people from Taesung! ”
“…Did I not know that?”
“What? Did you knowingly create this mess?”
“I just wanted to destroy everything. Han Seoa, Kang Hajoon, Park Jongwon…”
Jiyoung, who had been speaking with unfocused eyes, widened them and stared at her father as she continued speaking.
“Dad, and Mom too.”
Her father walked decisively towards Jiyoung.
With all his strength, he slapped Jiyoung’s cheek, and she fell weakly onto the bed.
“Hey!”
“This… disobedient…”
Jiyoung shed tears and chuckled lightly.
Even as she spoke, she realized. Even though she knew it would turn out like this, even though she knew that Hajoon wouldn’t accept her whether she harmed Han Seoa or not, even though she knew the reason she incited Jongwon.
It was because she seemed to want to destroy her own parents.
Even though she knew that it was the path to ruin herself, even though she didn’t want to go to Jongwon even if she died, it seemed like she had no choice but to ruin everyone.
Reporters arrived one by one in front of the prosecutor’s office.
After a while, a car stopped in front of them, and the person who called them got out of the car.
It was Jiyoung, dressed neatly in a black suit.
“Author Kim Jiyoung, is it true that Manager Park Jongwon tried to harm Han Seoa?”
“If you knew, why did you hide it? Did you want to help?”
“Then, haven’t you been helping Manager Park Jongwon since eight years ago?”
Amidst the pouring questions from reporters, Jiyoung bowed her head, and the continuous sound of camera shutters echoed.
“I apologize for causing a commotion. Recently, due to a strategic marriage, I started getting close to Manager Park Jongwon. Then, I accidentally found out that Manager Park Jongwon was scheming. However, for the parents who want to cooperate with S Group and achieve great things, I had no choice but to pretend not to know.”
“Did Chairman Kim Mo Han also know about this fact?”
“…I’m not sure about that. Anyway, I will sincerely cooperate with the investigation.”
Leaving behind Jiyoung’s meaningful answer, she entered the prosecutor’s office.
Then, in the interrogation room, she called Jongwon and Jaehwan, playing the recording file containing their plans in front of the prosecutor.
Sigh… I should have gotten rid of Choi Youngju quickly…
Kang Hajoon gave Choi Youngju a week. Time to apologize to Han Seoa and surrender.
Haven’t found the perpetrator we sent to China yet?
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.
