After a short nap of about 40 minutes, he seemed to have already recovered his strength. It was an animal-like recovery.
The price of mistakenly thinking that his sleeping appearance looked as innocent as a lamb was too high.
On that day, Green learned the hard way not to touch the lips of a sleeping beast carelessly.
Having been busy reexamining K1 Construction’s business, Baek In-young finally left work on Monday morning to catch some sleep.
Dragging her tired body into the living room, her husband, Jin Young-chul, was waiting for her.
“Why haven’t you slept yet?”
“You’re late too, and I can’t sleep either.”
Regret was evident in Jin Young-chul’s expression. The crisis facing K1 Construction also had some responsibility on him.
The friendly acquaintances who were recently discussing marriage proposals had also helped quite a bit in K1 Construction’s business. Jin Young-chul thought it was all because of his capabilities.
But when Sunwoo’s extramarital affair was revealed, their attitudes changed. Some people who had previously exchanged confidential discussions were not hesitant to interfere with K1’s business.
Jin Young-chul hadn’t seen his wife for a while.
“It’s not your fault. The final decision was mine.”
Inyoung spoke as if she knew everything about him.
She didn’t want to blame others for the current situation, nor did she want to make excuses.
The sweet offers from the connections Jin Young-chul brought in, accepting them was her judgment as the vice-chairman, and it was her decision.
At that time, she believed it was a clever move, but in the end, it turned out to be a handshake.
Now, all that remained was to admit the mistake and minimize the losses. It was a waste of time to blame others and expend unnecessary emotions.
Jin Young-chul cautiously opened his mouth.
“Do you happen to remember Yoon Seol-hee?”
He wanted to honestly tell his wife the real reason he couldn’t sleep these days. He needed her help that much.
“How could I forget? That wicked X.”
Inyoung’s intense response made Jin Young-chul’s eyes widen.
It was rare for his usually composed and rational wife to openly express such negative emotions towards someone.
“Why do you see it that way? For someone who made Sunwoo suffer so much, can’t I even curse a little?”
Inyoung’s expression remained calm. Jin Young-chul, who was surprised by her thoughts about Sunwoo, soon understood.
She valued Sunwoo not just as her son but as the director of K1 Construction.
Being a fair person, Inyoung always acknowledged Sunwoo’s abilities despite him being an adopted child.
“Yoon Seol-hee, she’s in Korea now. I coincidentally met her at Kim Congressman’s book launch event yesterday.”
“Really? She got married and went to the U.S.”
Inyoung frowned as if she didn’t like the sound of it. Jin Young-chul sighed and continued speaking.
“I found out she got a Ph.D. in media relations, divorced, and came to Korea. And…”
After checking Inyoung’s reaction for a moment, Jin Young-chul brought up the topic he wanted to avoid the most.
“This time, she joined as a spokesperson for the Reform Progressive Party.”
“The Reform Progressive Party… with Baek Sun-joo as the leader?”
Reluctantly nodding, Jin Young-chul saw Inyoung’s eyes, usually unshaken, widen significantly.
Yoon Seol-hee and Baek Sun-joo, it was truly the worst combination. Clearly troubled, she pressed her temples with both hands.
Suddenly, Jin Young-chul knelt down and firmly held Inyoung’s hands.
“Honey, help me get back to the National Assembly.”
“What are you suddenly talking about?”
“I can’t do anything in this state. I need to go to the National Assembly to help Sunwoo. You know that, too, right?”
“Have you forgotten what Sunwoo said about not getting into politics?”
Inyoung’s gaze became cold. However, Jin Young-chul didn’t give up. He felt it was his real last chance.
“Sunwoo hasn’t fully grasped the situation yet. When he realizes that no matter how hard he tries, he has no place in K1 Construction, eventually, he’ll have to enter the political arena.”
As Inyoung silently listened to his words, Jin Young-chul raised his voice more, continuing.
“I have a plan. Once I enter the National Assembly, I’ll persuade Yoon Seol-hee to come under my wing.”
“Why?”
“It’s the first time! If Sunwoo sees that kid, he’ll definitely be shaken, and he’ll naturally develop an interest in politics.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Before, I felt a bit unsatisfied with Ah Sung Tech’s Yoon Ki-hoon taking the son-in-law position, but compared to Han Moon-taek, it’s overflowing, isn’t it?”
Jin Young-chul pleaded with Inyoung once again, clinging to her.
“There will be a by-election soon. If you help just once, I’ll take care of Sunwoo’s problem on my own. Honey, please.”
“Among the countless plans you’ve come up with so far, this seems like the stupidest one.”
“Well, what do you mean?”
Jin Young-chul’s pride was hurt as he shivered at Inyoung’s cold words.
“Green, she’s an impeccable daughter-in-law. Why are you so displeased with her?”
“Why would she be impeccable?”
“That kid makes Sunwoo laugh. What more do you want?”
“What kind of logic is that! Can you say that even if Sunwoo were your biological child?”
Facing the enraged Jin Young-chul, Inyoung looked at him in silence.
Even though she knew that Park Chan-wook was unhappy, the reason Inyoung chose him in her youth was that, for a while, Jin Young-chul was the only person who made her laugh.
But ironically, Jin Young-chul underestimated Green’s abilities.
“Do you forget what Han Moon-taek did to me?”
Watching the trembling Jin Young-chul in anger, Inyoung sighed lightly.
There wasn’t much Han Moon-taek had done right, but it was unfair to take out that anger on Green.
“My father cares a lot about that kid. Enough to give her a studio in Cheongdam-dong. Don’t make my father uncomfortable by doing something unnecessary.”
Inyoung got up and went into the bedroom. She wanted to lie down on the bed with her tired body.
Left alone in the living room, Jin Young-chul couldn’t escape from the shock.
‘Ha! Gave her a studio in Cheongdam-dong?’
A sense of regret surged, especially the bitterness towards Park Chan-wook, who had cut off support during the last general election. With that, Jin Young-chul’s face was mercilessly crumpled.
