Couples in Love (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 35
“This morning, we got a call from the Vietnam side. They said they’ll treat the provisional contract with K1 Construction as if it never happened. They gave all sorts of excuses, but it seems the biggest reason is that Congressman Kang San Ho, who strongly recommended us to them, suddenly pulled out.”
“Congressman Kang San Ho?”
Kang San Ho was the former leader of the ruling party and someone Jin Young Cheol had invested a lot of effort into for quite a long time. There had even been a time when he tried hard to set Sunwoo up with Kang San Ho’s daughter.
Kang San Ho boasted wide connections with key political figures in various Southeast Asian countries, so he often helped K1 Construction win contracts in the region.
In particular, this Vietnam deal had been progressing relatively smoothly because Kang San Ho had strongly recommended K1 Construction to an influential Vietnamese politician.
Yet suddenly Kang San Ho changed his attitude, and it looked like the Vietnamese client had followed suit and flipped their position.
After thinking for a moment, Sunwoo immediately called his father, Jin Young Cheol.
Ever since Sunwoo declared he wouldn’t divorce and would continue working at K1 Construction, Jin Young Cheol had been seriously angry with his son.
So naturally, even though it was Sunwoo calling first in a long while, his father’s words weren’t kind words.
“Father, is there any problem between you and Congressman Kang San Ho?”
“He’s avoiding your calls?”
Before long, Jin Young Cheol was pouring out his grievances to Sunwoo like a kite with a broken string. He believed his acquaintances were distancing themselves because he lost the election, but Sunwoo thought differently.
“It seems that once it became known I’m an illegitimate child, the people who approached us for political marriage connections fell away. Since there’s no longer a chance I’ll inherit K1 Construction, my value has dropped.”
Jin Young Cheol was so flustered he asked again, because that possibility had never even crossed his mind.
Until now, he had thought that if Sunwoo were pushed out of K1 Construction, he could just go into politics. Plenty of people had coveted Sunwoo as a son-in-law, so he believed that with a strong wife’s family backing him, Sunwoo could easily establish himself in politics.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
