“Excuse me? You said there’s no balance?”
Hyo Jin, who had come to the bank with her grandmother, couldn’t believe it.
“Grandma, are you sure this is the right account? Not an account from another bank? They’re saying there’s no balance at all?”
“Why would it be empty? I had exactly 20 million won ready to deposit because the landlord of the store asked for an increased deposit…!”
Oh my, Soon Hye, who had checked the account balance with her glasses on, lost strength in her legs and ended up sitting down.
“Grandma!”
“Goodness, how did this happen? Hmm?”
Suspecting voice phishing, Hyo Jin helped Soon Hye sit on a chair and continuously massaged her stiff limbs.
“Grandma. Did anyone call asking you to deposit money or did you ever entrust your account to anyone?”
Soon Hye, who had been mindlessly spacing out, met Hyo Jin’s eyes as if a fluorescent light had been turned on.
“Yes.”
“Who?”
“The magpie.”
“Magpie?”
Bong Hwang Sae, just leaving this insane bastard…
A black luxury sedan smoothly came to a halt in front of a lowrise apartment building with a storefront.
“Is this the place?”
Gyo Hwan, who got out of the car door opened by the team leader, looked around while bundling up his camelcoloured long coat.
“Yes. The driver said the grandmother runs a side dish store around here.”
Gyo Hwan squinted his eyes at the sight of the building exuding a flashy retro atmosphere.
“What’s the name of the store?”
“It’s called Happy Dining Table.”
“Happy Dining Table…”
A voice that was far from happy sounded in his ears as he slowly scanned the sign with narrowed eyes.
“Hey! You thief, aren’t you going to stop?”
Ha, this voice?
Hwang Sae, who was running away from Hyo Jin, circled around a tree with rustling leaves as if playing hideandseek.
“Sis, calm down and listen to me first! Okay?”
“Why am I your sister, you jerk!”
An enraged Hyo Jin swung her handbag around, screaming like a mad woman.
“Hey! You crazy bastard!”
With every swing of her handbag, various items like lipstick, keychains, wet wipes, pencil cases, and hand cream popped out like magic.
“You don’t study when you should, you just get carried away.”
While he was at Sangrimwon, she thought he was diligently preparing to go to college, but she had no idea that he’d be up to something else.
“Sis, please calm down. We’re in the middle of the street.”
“I can’t calm down right now! My sanity is evaporating because of you! You promised to study hard and go to college, and now you’re backstabbing me like this?”
Far from calming down, Hyo Jin became even more furious.
“What did you do with grandma’s money? What did you do with the money grandma saved up to raise the deposit for the store?”
“Sis, that money wasn’t lost. I invested it.”
“What, invested? You’re really spinning bullshit.”
Hyo Jin threw her handbag aside and charged with a broom that was propped up next to a street tree.
“Sis. You need to let go of the idea that the only way to save money is to steadily accumulate it like an ant. In this day and age, if you live like you do, you won’t be able to avoid poverty. You can’t survive in this competitive era with that complacent mindset!”
And amidst all this, his mouth is still running!
“Do you know what kind of money that was? If we don’t raise the deposit next month, we’ll have to close the store right away and suck our thumbs!”
“Why suck your thumb? You make a lot of money, sis. When did you tell grandma to quit the sidedish shop when you were making ten million won a month!”
“I have to receive unemployment benefits now, okay?”
“So you were fired, not on vacation?”
“Yeah, do you understand the situation now, you jerk?”
Only then did the flabbergasted jackdaw realize why Hyo Jin was so livid, and was so startled that he forgot he was being chased and stopped in his tracks.
“You should have consulted with me first. What if you quit on your own? I was also trying to show filial piety to grandma.”
He had the audacity to talk about filial piety.
“Do you think I quit because I wanted to?”
Hyo Jin, who had thrown her broom, clutched the jackdaw’s hair between her fingers so he couldn’t escape, like a claw.
“Ah, I have something to say, so stop it!”
The jackdaw, who couldn’t stand it any longer, shoved Hyo Jin away and squinted against the bright headlights that suddenly shone in his face.
Are they filming a drama here?
A man with a modellike physique was approaching him, showing off his noble silhouette in the backlight.
As if he were a savior who had appeared upon hearing the desperate cries of someone suffering in a sinful human world.
“Team Leader Nam?”
“Yes, CEO!”
Team Leader Nam, demonstrating his charisma from his days in the military search team, wrapped the jackdaw’s arms behind his back as if capturing a deserter who refused to surrender.
“Come with me.”
He left his sister to the CEO.
“Ah, let me go! Who are you? Sis, who are these people?”
Huh, why is this person here again?
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
