When she arrived at the hospital and regained her senses for a moment, she also told Sa-jun.
When the car rushed at me for the first time, if Min Sun-tae hadn’t turned the steering wheel, I would have died. So, Min Sun-tae saved me, allowing Sa-jun to save me for the second time.
It was the first moment when she became curious about that person’s heart.
Why did that person do that? Even though they never thought of me as a daughter, always tried to use me, why did they throw themselves in front of me?
“Mom, I want to go home and rest now.”
Late at night, an emergency meeting was held at Hee-gu’s house.
The attendees were just three people, all with the Kang surname, the three generations.
Upon Hee-gu’s call, Yong-jin rushed over while dealing with his schedule. Sa-jun remained in disheveled attire.
“What the hell, is there a need for an urgent meeting like this!”
“Father, this isn’t right. We should go see our daughter-in-law first!”
Unlike the composed Sa-jun, Hee-gu, for the first time, expressed anger even to the point of swearing, and Yong-jin had to restrain him from rushing to Tae-hee right away.
Sa-jun wasn’t seeking emotional empathy or coming for consolation.
It was merely a request for help with the hope that no more difficulties would arise for Tae-hee and Hye-suk, and wishing that Tae-hee, who was now pregnant, could pass this time comfortably.
However, since the two adults were making more emotional chaos than he anticipated, Sa-jun found the already tiring and exhausting day even more exhausting.
“Grandfather should have blocked the reporters first and discussed how to handle it.”
A married couple driving a car into the lake for a joint suicide was not a common occurrence, especially if it was the vice president couple of Songhyun Electronics.
As they possessed wealth and power and had a good relationship, attention was focused on the reason for their suicide, and persistent reporters would gather at the townhouse in Ilsan to interview residents.
It was easy to guess what the residents would say.
Min Sun-tae, who carried on affairs with his wife and a mistress between two houses, had recently started to complain when his relationship with the mistress improved. On the evening of the day of suicide, there was an argument at the mistress’s house.
The exposure of Hye-suk and Tae-hee to the media was only a matter of time, and the death of the Sun-tae couple would be blamed on Hye-suk, the mistress.
For a while, the media would go up and down, and witch hunts would begin.
People didn’t want to know sincere feelings deeply buried underwater anyway.
Adultery, affairs, extreme topics that people loved were all included, and people, tired of their mundane lives, needed targets to curse.
“Make sure not even a nail of harm comes to Tae-hee and her mother.”
Only then, Hee-gu, who had calmed down, summoned Goh Jipsa.
Goh Jipsa, entering the study, handed a tablet to Sa-jun and calmly added an explanation.
“We’ve already secured several fast media outlets that have identified the identity of the deceased and even written articles. Fortunately, thanks to the elders, all the articles are on hold for now, but once approval is granted, they’ll be released immediately.”
It didn’t take Sa-jun long to read quite a few articles.
As Sa-jun expected, the articles were all provocative. Although they included the initial ‘S’ as initials, there was no way the public wouldn’t know it was Songhyun Electronics.
“Witnesses are so numerous that they can’t prevent the articles from coming out. Also, the police sent us the black box footage they secured.”
When Goh Jipsa played the video on the tablet, the situation before rushing into the lake was vividly displayed.
Min Sun-tae, who shamelessly changed his words, saying he would somehow survive, looked despicable.
Even so, Sa-jun had to admit that it was Min Sun-tae, not himself, who saved Min Tae-hee.
After the played video ended, Hee-gu opened his mouth heavily.
“Sa-jun, how would you want to handle this? Your thoughts are probably the same as Tae-hee’s, so speak first.”
“I haven’t told Tae-hee yet, but I plan to persuade her to reclaim her original life and name.”
Sa-jun was extremely sensitive now.
He had seen Min Tae-hee almost die, and although the hospital said she was fine, he couldn’t be reassured.
Trauma was not easily cured. He knew better than anyone that mental illness could make the body sick.
After thirteen years, their hearts finally connected, and Sa-jun didn’t want to see Min Tae-hee struggling again.
“Well, what if Tae-hee doesn’t like it?”
“It’s better than being labeled as the daughter of a mistress and facing witch hunts for a lifetime. There’s no guarantee that just blocking the press will keep the secret, and it’s not easy to shut up the neighborhood residents. Besides, Tae-hee isn’t the type to hide.”
Starting with that statement, Sa-jun calmly explained the plans for the future.
Yong-jin and Hee-gu nodded in agreement.
“Chairman Min, please persuade your father. Min Sun-tae should get some blame with that woman.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
