With her emotionless voice, Seorin delivered a threat that made Chairman Cho involuntarily touch his own neck.
Even after Chairman Cho left, Seorin couldn’t leave that spot.
The anger that had ignited beneath was burning her up as if it would devour her.
As she gulped down two glasses of liquor in a row, her throat stung.
But Seorin couldn’t tell if it was due to the rage devouring her body or the pungent smell of alcohol.
Confident in controlling her emotions, she lost her composure when faced with Chairman Cho’s shameless face.
Her breath rose to her throat.
Then, an unknown warmth flowed down her cheeks.
It was only after a while, opening the sliding door, that Seorin realized it was her own tears, revealed by Taehoon.
“Seorin, why are you crying?”
Reluctantly, she had come this far because it was hard to accept the fact that Seorin had met Chairman Cho alone after meeting Heo Kyung-jun.
But even after Chairman Cho left, when Seorin did not come out, he came in, wondering if Chairman Cho had done something terrible to her.
Seeing her crying while holding a liquor glass in her hand, Taehoon’s heart sank. He wondered if Chairman Cho had done something terrible to her.
But holding her in his arms, he realized that the anger he had endured for so long had finally exploded.
“Taehoon, that bastard… that bastard who killed our mom was right in front of me. But I… hehehe…”
“I know. I know. I understand even if you don’t say it. Your feelings… better than anyone else, I know.”
A shared suffering.
Taehoon, comforting her as she cried as if her breath would stop, felt the same way.
Facing the live enemy who had survived perfectly, it was not as easy as he thought.
It felt like the chest was burning in red-hot lava, and the heart was burning.
I don’t know why.
Both you and I, losing the same person to the same guy.
“Ha… I wanted to kill him. Save our mom, save our sister, save your mother… I wanted to strangle him. But… hehehe… in the end, I had to let go of that bastard. Taehoon, what should we do?”
In the end, Seorin collapsed.
The situation, where she had to let the sworn enemy go, had even made her, who was so firm, slightly incontinent.
There was no clear evidence.
It had been 20 years, so proving Chairman Cho’s misdeeds would be even more difficult.
It felt like being trapped in a dead-end alley. She didn’t know where to go. If she missed Chairman Cho like this, she felt she could never forgive herself.
But Taehoon comforted her, whispering quietly.
“Don’t worry. If the tail is long, it gets stepped on. Those bastards will eventually admit their guilt with their own mouths.”
I hope that’s the case.
If Chairman Cho receives divine punishment.
So that I could somehow compensate for my mother’s death, who was like a flower.
Really… I hope that’s the case.
Chairman Cho, who left the restaurant, sent the driver and took the steering wheel himself. Then, following Heo Kyung-jun’s instructions, he drove the car.
Usually, they avoided meeting in person as much as possible, but this time, it couldn’t be helped.
It wasn’t a situation where they could talk on the phone.
The place Heo Kyung-jun had informed him of was an extremely private location.
Guided to the room, Chairman Cho sat down without greeting Heo Kyung-jun, who was already there.
“I don’t understand what’s going on. How could they not be afraid of the truth?”
“I don’t know the details well either. It seems like something went wrong from the moment I introduced Go Young-hee.”
“That can’t be.”
“Maybe Go Young-hee confessed to the truth or something?”
“No. That couldn’t have happened. There won’t be such a thing in the future either. That would ruin one’s own life, and there’s no way they would do that.”
Chairman Cho nodded firmly.
At that moment, the waiter came in and, placing the ordered liquor on the table, reached for the vase on a small decorative shelf.
When Heo Kyung-jun frowned, the waiter bowed his head and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry. The flowers have withered, I’ll change the vase.”
Then, he quickly replaced it with a vase decorated with fresh flowers and left the room.
After confirming that the waiter had left, Heo Kyung-jun opened his mouth again.
“Do you know how many people are aware of this fact?”
“Do I know? Almost no one. The driver who did the fortune-telling at that time is dead, and the forensic pathologist is also dead, right? What they have is not evidence but just suspicions.”
“What about the driver’s wife?”
“Choi Cheol-ho’s wife? She doesn’t know anything. Taedong Construction went bankrupt, and the president died, so I think it’s over for her.”
“Then how did they find out?”
“How much do you know?”
“Everything. I knew the truth about the accident 20 years ago that happened to Baek Se-rin, and the fact that due to that truth, Jung Ok-ja was murdered. And I also knew that I covered it up.”
“It’s just speculation. But unless there’s clear evidence, it won’t be easy to expose it.”
Chairman Cho was confident. There wouldn’t be clear evidence anywhere.
All the decisive people who could prove that fact were already in the afterlife, so how could it be otherwise?
But Heo Kyung-jun, who witnessed Taehoon’s eyes directly, nodded his head.
“He seemed to have a place to believe in. It was too convincing to call it just speculation.”
In response to Heo Kyung-jun’s words, Chairman Cho frowned. That was also because he saw an unexplainable conviction in Seorin’s face today.
What could they possibly know?
And what evidence could they have to be so convinced?
“Damn it, if President Baek had died in the first place, things wouldn’t have gotten messed up like this.”
A bitter curse came out of Chairman Cho’s mouth. Then, Heo Kyung-jun stared at him as if surprised.
“No, that… What are you talking about? So, originally, the goal was not the owner of Seongwon… but President Baek?”
Heo Kyung-jun, who covered up the incident for 20 years, didn’t know the truth.
But in this situation, what could Chairman Cho hide?
Chairman Cho, filling his glass with liquor, spat out his suppressed voice full of anger.
“What business would I have with that quiet woman? Of all days, the woman who changed cars that day had bad luck.”
“Ha!”
A chuckle burst from Heo Kyung-jun’s mouth.
It was the truth revealed after 20 years.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
