Seo Rin hated people who pursued their own gains and betrayed others more than those who opposed her views. Because someone who betrays once can betray twice, even thrice.
But she decided to see just how far this cunning Director Kim would go.
“Of course, the shares I hold are not much, but there are shareholders who can turn their backs on President Baek at my word. If we gather them together, it might be possible to reach around 5%.”
Seo Rin looked at Director Kim with a leisurely gaze. She had a fair idea why he wanted to turn his back on President Baek.
Most likely, he had built up resentment towards President Baek, who had recently begun to trust Director Hwang more.
However, in this situation where The MG was thought to have sided with President Baek, it didn’t explain why he chose her instead of the sure win, President Baek.
“So, what is it that you want, Director Kim?”
She suspected he had ulterior motives.
At her direct question, Director Kim showed an awkward smile. Seo Rin thought his smile was truly repulsive.
As expected, Director Kim’s dark intentions slowly revealed themselves.
“So that’s it… I have a son. It’s not just because he’s my son, but he’s quite an impressive young man with good character. He was recently promoted to the planning team leader at Jeongdo Corporation. It was the youngest promotion. Ahahaha.”
Listening to Director Kim’s laughter, which rang in her ears, Seo Rin reached out for the warm cup of tea. It was a hand extended in an attempt to cool her burning heart, but her knuckles tightened as if they would crush the teacup.
“If I’m to take a risk and support you, shouldn’t I have something to gain? President Baek isn’t an easy opponent. It’s going to be a long battle, but if we become family, I’m confident I can help with all my heart and soul!”
“……”
“Oh, and if you meet him in person, you’ll see. My son resembles his mother and he’s quite handsome! I think you’ll like him!”
It was becoming increasingly absurd. She wasn’t sure how to respond.
Indeed, she questioned whether the man in front of her was sane.
How dare he insult me like this. It was something she couldn’t even imagine without losing her mind.
Seo Rin took a moment to catch her breath and spun her innocent teacup around. However, the force in her hand, enough to reveal her white knuckles, never loosened.
That’s because if she did, the teacup that escaped from her hand might have properly embedded itself in Director Kim’s forehead.
Unaware of her feelings, Director Kim didn’t stop his loose mouth from running amok.
“If you give me a definite answer, I can even call my son here right now. He should be off work by now……”
Watching Director Kim lift his phone was almost like a test of extreme patience. She was usually calm in most situations, but this time, she couldn’t keep her composure and closed her eyes for a moment.
She was seized by an impulse to snap that wrist, and contrary to her intention, she saw Director Kim, who had his phone snatched away, frozen in place.
“Uh, ugh… What is this……”
And even making a very painful expression.
Seo Rin shifted her gaze and looked at the person holding Director Kim’s hand.
A refreshing sight, a black shadow.
He, pulling up his attractive lips into a smile, greeted her.
“Hi, baby?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
