“So, you just need to support me with your shares. I’ll take care of the company’s affairs.”
Baek Chairman’s firm tone wounded Minhyung’s pride.
When he had hesitated to join hands to bring Seorin down from her throne, he now felt disgusted by Baek’s pretentious behavior, as if he were something noble.
But to monopolize Seorin, Baek Chairman needed to stay in that position, so Minhyung swallowed his pride for now.
“Oh, please don’t misunderstand. I was just concerned, not doubting Chairman Baek’s abilities. How could I ever do that?”
He said that, but he couldn’t help but feel twisted inside.
“Well then, I should be going now. I have a very important meeting early tomorrow morning.”
“Ah, yes. I’m sorry for contacting you so late.”
After bidding farewell to Minhyung, Chairman Baek left. Watching his back, Minhyung bit his lip.
He couldn’t understand why neither Chairman Jo nor Chairman Baek would move according to his wishes.
But Minhyung wasn’t one to give up easily.
Another plan was already taking shape in his mind.
If he couldn’t persuade Chairman Baek, then it was time to divert the power Seorin possessed. And in that regard, Taejoon was a very important strategic target.
“Chairman Baek, you should either enjoy your leisure or eat your rice cakes.”
Muttering to himself, he picked up his phone. When the other party answered the call, he opened his mouth with a pleased voice.
“Hey, Jiwon. It’s me. Should we have a little chat… you and I?”
Now, it was time for him to act.
After finishing two consecutive meetings early in the morning, Seorin took advantage of a brief moment to call Manager Park.
“Did you call me?”
“Yeah, Manager Park. Can you find someone for me?”
“Someone? Who?”
“Someone who used to work at my house 20 years ago, back then, they were called a housekeeper. I used to call her ‘ajumma.'”
“A housekeeper?”
“Her name… well…”
[Dash] Han… Ah, Han. I remember there was a name like Han Jiseon.Recalling what Taejoon had said yesterday, Seorin pronounced the name.
“Her name is Han Jiseon.”
“Yes, I’ll inquire. But why suddenly someone who worked at Director Jeon’s house 20 years ago…”
“Oh, it’s a personal matter.”
“I see. I’ll try to find out as soon as possible.”
After mentioning that it was a personal matter, Manager Park didn’t press further and left the office. Alone in the office once again, Seorin was lost in thought.
Taejoon had told her to step back, but she couldn’t. It didn’t matter if her nightmares returned; they were nightmares she had lived with for only a day or two.
Instead, she wanted to show Taejoon a clear sky. To brush away the hazy clouds and reveal the clearest and most beautiful sky.
But then, as if her thoughts had been transmitted, Taejoon called.
“Yeah. Why?”
[Have you had lunch?]“No, not yet. How about you, Taejoon?”
[Just about to eat. So don’t skip lunch either.]“I won’t. Don’t worry.”
[It’s not about that. I think I need to meet someone tonight.]“Oh… Really?”
[I’m meeting Ms. Park Gilja tonight. I can meet her right away.]“Then, of course, you should meet her.”
[Sorry. Looks like I’ll be eating alone tonight.] “I’ll eat well by myself, so have a good conversation and come back.”
If only you could unravel the questions you’ve carried your whole life, what’s the big deal about having dinner alone?
Seo Rin wished earnestly.
May Park Gilja, whom he would meet today, be able to answer all the questions he wants to know.
And may your hazy world become clear again.
“See you tonight. I’ll be waiting.”
[Yes. I love you.]Please, let it be so.
“I’m glad the appointment was made faster than I thought.”
“Yeah, I thought it would take a while.”
“I feel the same way. Honestly, from their perspective, those are memories they wouldn’t want to recall.”
“That’s true.”
Taehoon, holding the steering wheel, nodded in agreement. Then, suddenly, he remembered what Seorin had said last night and spoke again.
“By the way, wasn’t there a name, Han Jiseon, in the report?”
Sodam quickly opened her tablet and checked the files.
“Yes, there is. But I heard she immigrated to the United States, so they can’t reach her. Why do you ask?”
“Seorin mentioned it because she and her mother were particularly close to this person.”
“Really? Then we must meet. I’ll look into it further.”
“Yes, please do. It would be great if you could. Since she had a close relationship with my mother, it would be nice to meet her.”
“Alright. Oh, and please drop me off here.”
“No, you can go a bit further.”
“No, it’s fine. The road is narrow, and it’s hard to turn the car around. It’s just a 5-minute walk from here, so you can drop me off here.”
In response to Sodam’s insistence, Taehoon dropped her off in the alley leading to the apartment.
“Well then, have a good conversation today. Fighting!”
With her words of encouragement, Taehoon turned the steering wheel, heading towards the cafe where he had agreed to meet Park Gilja.
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.
