Taesung Law Firm postponed the investigation schedule of Director Na Songwoon and Director Na Songkang with various excuses. Songkang had no reason to avoid this investigation, but on the other hand, it was inevitable that it would be uncomfortable.
Regardless of any logic, he wondered if there would be anything left even if he won against his younger brother.
The law firm predicted that the prosecution would summon Songkang separately. However, contrary to their expectations, an entirely unexpected figure became the subject of the summoning investigation.
It was Prosecutor Jin Lain who pointed at Chairman Na. They had anticipated a summoning investigation, including summoning Geum Moran, following Songkang’s summoning. However, no one had imagined that Chairman Na would be summoned.
Because of this, Taesung was turned upside down from the chairman’s office to the law firm. Chairman Na called both Songkang and the law firm director to his office.
“How dare a mere prosecutor summon me!”
Songkang was equally perplexed. Although he knew that Prosecutor Jin Lain was someone who wouldn’t care much about such things, he really didn’t expect Chairman Na to be summoned.
If he did not comply with this summons, he had to be prepared for arrest or even detention.
“Ahem! The law firm director will handle it.”
“Yes, understood, Chairman.”
Chairman Na casually spoke as if he had no reason to respond to the summoning investigation, and the law firm director confidently replied.
“Chairman, please attend.”
Songkang cautiously spoke. It was also a suggestion for his father, Chairman Na.
“What?”
“Director, Chairman has his dignity. How can a mere prosecutor summon our Chairman?”
The law firm director, taking advantage of this situation, behaved like a vassal, knowing Chairman Na’s personality. Songkang felt disgusted that he could say such things even after experiencing Prosecutor Jin Lain.
“Even if you avoid this summoning investigation, the prosecution will investigate Chairman in some way. This time, they might even come for a search and seizure in the chairman’s office.”
In response to Songkang’s frank advice, Chairman Na slammed the sofa arm.
“How dare they! Who dares to touch me, Na Taesung!”
Even amid the hostile outcry, Songkang didn’t flinch or lower his head.
“Although I say this respectfully, if you’re innocent, there’s no reason not to face it openly. Let’s adjust the schedule to avoid media exposure and other inconvenient matters as much as possible and attend.”
“Director of the law firm, wait outside for a moment.”
After the law firm director left the room, Chairman Na continued the conversation with Songkang.
“It’s not because I’m not straightforward. I am the leader of Taesung. Don’t you know that if I collapse, our Taesung will collapse too?”
“So, moreover, Chairman should stand firm for Taesung. You shouldn’t avoid it but face it.”
“Because I keep receiving it like this, those people think they can rampage around without realizing how terrifying the sky is!”
Even if Chairman Na was furious, Songkang did not bend his will.
“Chairman, do you have anything to hide? If so, please speak now…”
At that moment, with a sharp sound, silence filled the room.
Chairman Na had slapped Songkang’s cheek. It was the first time Songkang had seen his father behave like this. Of course, even as the chairman, he had never shown such an attitude.
Chairman Na also seemed unsure where to direct his gaze, looking around in astonishment at his own actions.
“Ha…! That’s enough…!”
Songkang stood up from his seat.
“This incident is not simply a matter of right or wrong. It involves the fate of Taesung. I will take my leave now.”
Chairman Na didn’t shout at him any longer. He also seemed embarrassed and confused about his own actions. Songkang left the chairman’s office, leaving him behind.
Back in his office, Songkang made eye contact with Cha Haein, the lawyer, standing at the door.
“Director…”
He looked surprised when he saw Songkang’s face, then quickly pulled out a tissue from the secretary’s desk and handed it to Songkang. Blood had burst from his lips.
Haein wore an expression of disbelief as she stood there. Understandably so, as there was no one in Taesung who could leave a mark on her face.
That Chairman Na, who treasured his eldest son Songkang so much, would resort to violence with a small dagger… Haein didn’t make a fuss, considering the eyes watching around her.
“Oh, thank you.”
Songkang calmly entered his office. Ironically, Haein looked more disturbed as she followed him. Without turning to look at Haein, he stared out the window.
He needed a moment to catch his breath. Even knowing that Attorney Cha Haein was waiting, his thoughts were not easily set in motion.
It wasn’t just because he had received a slap from Chairman Na for getting upset about a trivial matter. He was curious about where his father’s oversensitivity had originated and what hidden meanings were behind it.
“Ah, thank you for waiting so long, Attorney Cha Haein.”
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…?
