However, after finishing the party leader’s meeting and returning to the office, Jiman slumped into his chair.
“Ugh.”
Lately, suspicions of bribery and corruption involving him had escalated beyond rumors and were becoming more and more substantiated.
Despite barely holding it together and avoiding articles, the rumors had already spread across various websites, and those in the know were well aware of the situation.
Perhaps because of this, the gazes of fellow lawmakers became increasingly unfavorable. His position within the party was gradually weakening.
“Hah, are you all so clean? Well, I might have overdone it a bit.”
Especially, problems arose after he received an enormous bribe and hastily approved the construction permit for GL Food’s new factory, which was the in-law family of his first daughter, Hyunjin.
The issue became public, and the Audit Office demanded the proper handling of related officials and initiated an investigation. Furthermore, civic groups urged for an investigation.
While he thought delaying tactics would lead to the issue being forgotten, the situation only worsened. The pressure against him increased bit by bit.
“At times like this, it would be nice if Yoon’s child could step forward.”

Lately, Yoon had become more popular on the internet than any top star. The provocative content about his hidden daughter had attracted attention, and the fact that Yoon was the wife of the top star Cha Kanghyun drove the public into a frenzy.
Moreover, Yoon was given the title of a national teacher. Due to Yoon, Woosung Construction’s stock price had soared for a while.
“Only good things are happening for him.”
Ironically, his real younger brother had received no benefits.
“Not even grateful for raising you.”
It was vexing. The office phone was almost paralyzed due to interview requests with Yoon, but he couldn’t access Yoon through any channel because of Kanghyun’s interference.
At times like this, if he went to the hospital and took a loving photo with Yoon, there would be no better way to create an even bigger issue.
If that happened, his various problems would be temporarily buried. Then, as always, the bribery allegations against him might just end as mere suspicions.
So, a few days ago, after hesitating several times, he called Kanghyun.
Although he didn’t want to see Kanghyun after the humiliation at the hospital, the situation left him no choice but to lower his head and go in.

If he had known, he should have rushed to Kanghyun when Yoon had an accident. However, now he regretted it.
However, no matter how many times he called, Kanghyun didn’t answer his calls.
“A stubborn fool! Even though he’s my son-in-law, is there such an incompetent guy?”
So, in the end, he asked Seojung for a favor.
“Go to the hospital and check on Yoon.”
“I don’t want to. You go. I don’t want to see Kanghyun again.”
Seojung seemed to have trembled at the thought of Kanghyun, who humiliated her in the hospital.
“He’s back to work at the company these days, and he’s not in the hospital. So, go and persuade Yoon a bit.”
“I told you, no.”
“If it goes well, I’ll transfer the land in Songsu-dong to you.”

Songsu-dong was the land Seojung had been singing about for years. It was a place where land prices skyrocketed due to the preliminary feasibility study passing for the high-speed railway construction project.
“All right.”
Then, without saying a word, Seojung nodded.
“You should do well.”
However, Jiman buried himself in his chair and closed his eyes.
Seojung, accompanied by her daughters, burst into Yoon’s hospital room.
“Well, you seem fine.”
Kyeongjin smirked at Yoon.
“Who are you?”
Approaching Yoon threateningly, Kyunghwa, alert, asked.

“You don’t need to know. Who are you?”
Hyunjin looked Kyunghwa up and down and asked, “What?”
‘What’s this?’
Kyunghwa made a face as she watched Hyunjin speak informally upon seeing her.
“You don’t know either, and who are you?”
Without even glancing at Kyunghwa, Hyunjin looked her up and down and spat out the same words.
“What? What’s all this? Do you even know who I am?”
Hyunjin raised one hand to her waist and gestured with a dismissive attitude.
“Do I need to know? Are you by any chance a celebrity? But, for a celebrity, the looks seem… no, not quite there.”
As Kyunghwa teased, Hyunjin’s face turned various shades of red and purple.
“We’re her older sister and mom. So, who are you?”

This time, Kyungjin interjected, glaring at Kyunghwa.
‘Ah, people from Assemblywoman Seojung’s side. But why are they so incapable?’
Kyunghwa scanned Seojung and her daughters one by one.
“I’m Cha Kanghyun’s stylist.”
Kyunghwa responded, also glaring.
“What? A stylist? I thought you were something impressive. Now that I know, can you please step aside anyway?”
Kyunghwa motioned for Kyungjin to leave.
“I don’t want to.”
Kyunghwa responded with a dismissive wave. There was no way she would leave Yoon alone with these incompetent people.
“Just for a moment, step out.”
