They shopped, got massages, made investments together, and shared political and business news.
“How’s your accomplished son these days, Sister Ju Ran?”
A few years ago, Go Jin Ah, who had become the second mother by pushing out the hostess of Chairman Kim of M Electronics, sat next to Ju Ran and asked.
She and Ju Ran were close, calling each other sisters.
“Our Min Woo? Min Woo is doing very well and thriving. But why suddenly Min Woo?”
“Oh, is that so? No, well…”
Go Jin Ah averted her gaze and suddenly didn’t speak clearly, seeming uneasy.
“Why is that?”
“Well, a few days ago, when I went to the aesthetic salon that I frequent, the manager there said something. A new client came who was the mother of a director at C&C Global, and she said that the woman was quite well off and was very satisfied with the program she paid for, and asked me if I wanted to try it as well.”
“What…?”
“No, I mean I know your son’s wife, Eun Ji Yeon, a bit. I’ve seen her occasionally. She’s not the type to go to such places, so when I heard that, I asked for the name, and it wasn’t Ji Yeon’s name. What was the name? It was Jeong…Se something. Anyway.”
Upon hearing these words, Ju Ran’s face turned bright red, and she began to breathe heavily, her nostrils flaring wide.
“Not long after that, I went to pick up some clothes I had ordered at the G Department Store, and I saw your son from a distance. But he was holding the waist of another woman, not Eun Ji Yeon, and was sticking very close to her. And not somewhere else but the G Department Store. So I got curious and asked.”
Go Jin Ah looked at Ju Ran with a smirk on her face that seemed to say, ‘It’s quite something, isn’t it?’
G Department Store was a topclass department store, frequented by many wives from the political and business circles.
It was no exaggeration to say that only VVIPs came here. When political and business figures or their families brought someone here, it quickly became the talk of the Emerald Club.
And so, the VVIPs never brought their lovers, or anyone they were seeing privately, to this place. If they made a mistake, a photo of them together could circulate in just a few hours.
However, Cha Min Woo would have had no way of knowing that.
To him, it was just another department store.
“She is…..”
Ju Ran was tonguetied and found it difficult to say anything else.
He was flustered and felt awkward that such a rumor had started while he had not yet cleared the misunderstanding with Eun Ji Yeon.
‘This rumor must not reach our chairman…’
Before this matter could reach Chairman Cha, who usually cared for Ji Yeon, he had to persuade Ji Yeon or find another way.
And in the worstcase scenario, even if Min Woo broke up with Ji Yeon, he could never think of Jung Se Ah as Min Woo’s match.
He had put Min Woo in that position with so much effort, going through many hardships. There was no way he could allow that.
What was that insignificant thing trying to intrude for?
‘What crime is it not to register a marriage? We lived together as a couple for three years, didn’t we? That should be enough, right? We even held a wedding ceremony in front of our family, didn’t we? What on earth is the problem? It’s not like we didn’t do it on purpose, if we’re busy we could forget, we could overlook it. What is so criminal about that to cause such a fuss?’
Seething anger directed towards Ji Yeon was bubbling up.
‘And is it a big deal for a goodlooking man to have one or two women? If she had been good to her husband and fulfilled her role as a wife, would her husband have met other women? She couldn’t even let go of her old flame in three years, what did she do so well that she’s making a fuss about? Some people can’t even have a baby that others can have in no time. That’s why the weak and naive Min Woo couldn’t forget his first woman and fell for her like that.’
Ultimately, all of these problems were caused by the bad and foolish girl, Eun Ji Yeon.
It was very cheeky and vicious for her to vent her anger in that way, crawl to her motherinlaw, and even call her “ma’am,” something I hadn’t known until now.
A girl can be honest, but it is unnecessary to be poisonous. No need for good studies.
‘Even if you light a candle in front of our son who is in big trouble, it’s like throwing water on a duck’s back.’
It was Kang Ju Ran who didn’t think about where this fuss started and only vented his anger at Ji Yeon.
“Our Min Woo is getting along well with Ji Yeon right now. I told you that Ji Yeon has liked Min Woo for a long time and followed him around, and that’s why they got married, right? If it’s about Min Woo, she’s ready to die. This necklace and earring set also, she said it would suit me well. The brand just came into Korea not long ago and she bought it right away and gave it to me. She’s also ready to die for me.”
She forced a smile on her trembling lips and answered Go Jin Ah.
“Don’t go around carelessly spreading what you saw or heard somewhere strange, it could cause unnecessary misunderstandings. If such a rumor were to spread, they’ll think it was you, so be careful on your own.”
“Well, if it’s not you, it’s not you, right?”
However, contrary to her words of understanding, an excited look that said ‘Looks like another interesting event is about to happen’ was caught on Go Jin Ah’s face.
“By the way, did you know that Lady Kim Ji Won is coming today?”
“What?”
Kim Ji Won, all of a sudden?
Startled, Ju Ran unknowingly asked loudly.
Since she joined the Emerald Club, Kim Ji Won had never attended this gathering.
So it wasn’t strange for her to act as the hostess of C&C.
“Didn’t they contact you? It seems like the club president was contacted yesterday. So everyone is looking forward to it.”
Knowing that Kim Ji Won and Kang Ju Ran were not in contact, Go Jin Ah deliberately scratched the nerve.
Go Jin Ah’s words, ‘I’m going to see the painting with my sister.’ came up to her throat, but she swallowed them and continued.
“Lady Kim Ji Won made this club and was actively involved, but then she suddenly stopped coming, right? It’s been over 5 years since she last attended, but she still has many fans and close people, so people have been wanting to see her. Especially, the wives of B Electronics and T Pharmaceuticals often talk about her even though she hasn’t come for a long time. Before she participated in the management of C&C Corporation, a subsidiary of C&C Global, she used to come often. Anyway, it seems she might come today. I’ve only seen her from afar at other places and never up close, so I’m looking forward to it.”
As soon as she heard this, Ju Ran became uneasy.
Even for Ju Ran, who had hardened her face like an iron plate, it wouldn’t have been easy to be with Kim Ji Won in front of so many nonfamily members.
She couldn’t hear a single word of Go Jin Ah, who was rambling on.
‘No, why is Kim Ji Won suddenly showing up here? She didn’t show any interest so far, didn’t she? She always said she was so busy.’
Ju Ran’s mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
Then it happened.
“Sister~ Lady Kim Ji Won is here! But who is that with her? I’ve never seen them at the club before?”
Startled, Ju Ran suddenly lifted her head.
Kim Ji Won, who had made her appearance in a dignified manner.
And the person who entered with her was…
“Ah! I was wondering who it was, it’s Lady Kim Go Eun from Onyu Pharmaceuticals! I’ve never seen her at the club, so I was unsure. Your inlaw has come along!”
