Brother, You're Mistaken (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 36

Joo Won’s father, Kang Pil Yeon, was a scholar serving as a professor at a certain university. Born into a wealthy family, he had never once worried about money in his life—a man blessed with extraordinary luck, born with more than enough wealth beneath his feet to last a lifetime.

At thirty, he defied his family’s arranged engagement and married the daughter of a bookstore owner he often visited.

As if to prove that financial fortune truly existed, his wife’s investment instincts were anything but ordinary. Every painting, ceramic piece, stock, and property that Seon Woo Yeon acquired hit the jackpot one after another, causing his fortune to grow exponentially.

Even among the elite circle in Samsung-dong’s prime real estate, there was hardly anyone who didn’t recognize the name Kang Pil Yeon.

Unlike his friends from social gatherings who had companies to manage—bringing all sorts of headaches—he had none of that trouble. His wife was beautiful, so he never strayed; his two sons were tall, handsome, and brilliant—leaving him with nothing in the world to envy.

His hobby was chatting endlessly with his wife. His specialty was pleasing her.

He used to joke that because his name was Pil Yeon (“fate”), he and his wife, whose name sounded like “coincidence,” were a match made in heaven—only to later learn her surname was “Seon Woo,” leaving him feeling oddly duped. Yet no one ever laughed at him. That alone spoke volumes about Kang Pil Yeon’s stature.

“Heh heh, how’s it working together with your brother? Is it going alright?”

Pil Yeon was enjoying this rare opportunity to spend time with both of his sons. Especially satisfying was seeing his firstborn, who had dashed off to America right after turning twenty, now grown and returned—always a heartwarming sight.

“I was worried how the kid who used to just sit around solving puzzles at home would handle working at the company, but he’s doing far better than expected. I think you can rest easy now.”

“Really? Well, Seung Won always had a sharp mind since he was little. He might look a bit naive, but once you actually give him a task, he pulls through.”

Pil Yeon chuckled heartily.

“Seung Won must’ve taken after me, while Joo Won takes after you. Remember how Seung Won excelled in math from a young age, just like me? He memorized the multiplication tables at six and made all the neighborhood kids green with envy. Right, dear?”

“You shouldn’t say things like that right in front of him. He won’t be able to eat his food properly.”

Lady Seon Woo Yeon shook her head as if scolding them for spoiling their son, though the faintest smile played at the corners of her lips.
