“Where are you going? Do you think you look cool just standing there without saying anything?”
Without being swayed by Jahyeon’s shouting, Hyojin calmly confronted her.
“Calm down. I understand that you’re angry because of what happened to the CEO, but you should think about Seungyul. You know better than anyone that Dad cares about Seungyul more than anyone else.”
“Where do you get off lecturing me? My son is in this state because of who? If only you hadn’t come into our house…”
Jahyeon’s eyes were filled with hatred.
“Even in the midst of this, do you want to be by my son’s side, using an ignorant girl like her?”
Hyojin, holding Seungyul’s hand, facing Jahyeon’s hostility, did not flinch.
“I never had such thoughts. If anyone should be blamed for the CEO collapsing, it’s me, isn’t it? Shouldn’t you be thinking about the patient first, especially since Dad collapsed because of me?”
“Don’t talk back! Get out right now! Don’t you even think about using Yuli!”
“No. Please don’t use Seungyul, Madam. No matter what you say, I won’t take a single step from here until Dad wakes up. Dad asked for my help, so I’ll stay by his side until he wakes up, just like Seungyul.”
“What? Are you crazy?”
Although Jahyeon, who approached as if she were about to slap Hyojin, glared at her, Hyojin did not back down.
“If you want to hit me, go ahead. No matter what you say, I won’t take a single step back until Dad wakes up. Even if you and Dad have separated, I am still Seungyul’s teacher. Since Seungyul asked for my help, I’ll stay by his side.”
“Move. Can’t you move right away?”
Nam Team Leader intervened to stop Jahyeon, who was about to hit her, losing her temper.
“Madam, please calm down. This is a hospital. Why are you behaving like this when it could be a problem if the CEO’s condition is known to the public?”
Even after hearing the doctor’s warning about the worst-case scenario.
“What?”
Only then did Jahyeon, who was reminded of the reality before her eyes, come to her senses.
Already, Kang Jae-ik divorced Exchange, and he is bloodthirsty.
“Butler Pyo, contact Sangrimwon right away and thoroughly inspect the employees. That guy Kang Jae-ik must not find out on his own.”
I will never let him know.
Jahyeon felt like she was reliving the nightmare 28 years ago when her husband was lost, and the entire company was taken away right before her eyes.
“Madam, please go inside now. Leave the CEO to me.”
Nam Team Leader said to Jahyeon. If Jahyeon was seen coming to the hospital, it was only a matter of time before Exchange’s unconsciousness and hospitalization were revealed.
“I’ll tell the employees that the young master and Dad will spend some private time for a while.”
Hyojin had the opportunity to spend time with Seungyul just before parting with her son, who was about to study abroad in the UK, especially since it was the end of the year. But she had to wait for the CEO to wake up before anything else. If the news got out, Kang Jae-ik would undoubtedly push Exchange aside and try to swallow the company.
Noel Law Firm.
“CEO Choi Gyu-hwan will not attend the golf gathering today.”
Jaeik, who was practicing putting in the office before a round of golf with his lawyers in the afternoon, stopped swinging the golf club and turned to the secretary.
“CEO Choi? What’s the reason?”
“His son is about to study abroad in the UK, so he wants to spend time together before departing.”
Such an audacious child. In this position, he was working hard to mitigate the rumors caused by Exchange at the last interrogation committee, yet his son casually didn’t show any concern about it. Perhaps he thought he didn’t need to impress the interrogators with his queen bee.
“Contact Mrs. Bang Mi-hee at the hospital. Check the schedule for her treatment.”
Jaeik, who had been struggling to approach Mi-hee, considering her difficult situation, saw this as an opportunity to find out if Mrs. Bang Mi-hee had truly regained her senses.
“Sigh, Teacher. Dad worries so much about you. He’s afraid I’ll send him to heaven like Mom because of me…”
Seungyul, waiting for visiting hours in front of the intensive care unit, could only express his sorrow through tears.
“It’s okay. Dad will definitely wake up. You know how much Dad loves Seungyul.”
Even though he cried like this, it seemed like there were still tears left in his small body.
Wiping the tears from the remorseful child’s eyes, Hyojin gently met his gaze.
Considering the child thinks his mother died because of him, Hyojin could feel how deep the emotional wounds would be.
“Teacher, you love Dad a lot too, right?”
After receiving news that his father had collapsed, Seungyul had rushed to him a month ago and, despite being mistreated by his grandmother, had confirmed that the teacher wouldn’t leave his side.
“But why did you break up with Dad?”
Surely there must be a reason that she hadn’t told him about, as his grandmother claimed.
“I’ll tell you later. Right now, the priority is for Dad to recover.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
