Tae-kyung chuckled sardonically.
“I’ll make the judgment.”
“Why don’t you believe me?”
She stubbornly resisted to protect her lies until the end.
Ji-in was so excited that her breathing could be heard. Judging that she couldn’t stay here any longer, she grabbed her bag and stood up.
Tae-kyung sneered, “Miss Ji-in?”
“…….”
“Miss Ji-in, when you were young, your medical records show that you visited the hospital due to a shellfish allergy. Has your constitution changed?”
“…….”
Originally, stir-fried vegetables were the only food Ji-in could eat.
Nevertheless, she ate all kinds of food. After a serious allergic reaction at the age of six that required emergency treatment, the nutritionist at Jangkyung Group confessed that they had thoroughly managed her diet.
For some reason, after the accident, she ate all kinds of food as if she could eat anything like anyone else.
Of course, it was possible that her constitution changed as she grew older, but if that were the case, she should refute it even now.
Not shake like a frightened bamboo tree.
More than that, what Tae-kyung was curious about was the connection between her and Woo-yeon.
Even while synthesizing photos, he couldn’t understand her state of mind, trying to show contempt for Woo-yeon even in her lies.
What was somewhat predictable was that Ji-in found out about the past illicit relationship between Kim Min-jun and Yoon Woo-yeon.
It could have caused jealousy or extreme humiliation.
But it was too much. Could someone really create such trouble in a business marriage of a conglomerate, especially against Yoon Woo-yeon, who is at the center of the media?
It was hard to understand why she was so desperately doing this.
The two had already ended their relationship a long time ago, and even if Kim Min-jun still had feelings for Yoon Woo-yeon, it was hard to believe that Ji-in wanted to cause such a big incident.
Zing.
The message came from Director Han. There was no need to check separately.
The answer wouldn’t change.
Only unanswered questions lingered in his chest.
In the end, Tae-kyung couldn’t help but look at In-yeong.
“Miss Ji-in.”
“I-I’ve changed! M-my constitution has changed.”
Tae-kyung chuckled at her belated excuse. Then, he wiped away his expression, staring at her with a sharp gaze.
“No. That answer will do.”
“…….”
“Let me ask you straightforwardly, Miss Ji-in, what is your relationship with Yoon Woo-yeon?”
For an hour, Woo-yeon had been consoling Seo Ji-woo, who was crying non-stop.
Someone deliberately created the photos, and the video staff in the editing room, including Reporter Yeom, confirmed it several times.
It was a typical deepfake.
It was one of the most controversial digital crimes nowadays, where artificial intelligence technology is used to synthesize the face of a specific person.
With a pregnant body, she squeezed out tears and mucus, so Woo-yeon brought a warm glass of water.
“Have some.”
“…….”
“Who gave you the photos?”
With eyes turned reddish, Seo Ji-woo, in a voice mixed with crying, uttered a familiar name.
“Mr. Min-jun’s wife.”
“What?”
“Jangkyung Group, Chairman Cho’s daughter.”
This is crazy.
Although curses surged to the tip of his throat, Woo-yeon regained his composure. He wondered what kind of emotion could lead someone to make things like this.
Was her pride hurt that much at the social gathering that day? Did she feel offended to enter my noble world?
Was she trying to drag me into a muddier swamp by meddling with those around me?
So, what does she gain from this? Woo-yeon pressed her lips firmly.
“….Woo-yeon.”
Seo Ji-woo, who had emptied half the cup, wiped her hair.
“You, report it to the police.”
“…….”
“My husband stalked you for a few years.”
It was the first time Woo-yeon heard this story. Was Park Min-kwon stalking me? In response to Woo-yeon’s frozen face, Seo Ji-woo laughed like a madwoman.
“But you know what?”
“…….”
“I knew that and still tried to cover it up. I told you last time. Don’t interfere in my affairs.”
“…….”
“I must be a woman crazy for money. My husband had another woman, and for years, he stalked my best friend. Even knowing all that, I thought I could live pretending I didn’t know.”
Woo-yeon felt bitter, but she tried to comfort Seo Ji-woo. It was unfair for her to face this, but anyone would be shocked seeing those pictures.
“It’s possible. You even got pregnant.”
“Yeah… I was really happy. Becoming the daughter-in-law of a wealthy group, people gossiping about my mom’s neighborhood. Making my brother live without financial worries for the rest of his life. When I go to the department store, do the employees recognize me? That was nice too.”
“Yeah, I understand.”
“Lives are just exchanges. Even if I knew that my brother wasn’t such a good person, I thought it was worth a try. But now, I really don’t know.”
While apologizing for hitting her, Seo Ji-woo burst into tears again.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
