“Director, are you in your right mind right now?!”
Gold Moran, who rarely raised her voice, shouted across the wall. It was an urgent matter to the extent that there was no time to act gracefully.
“Madam, I’m truly sorry. But there was no other way.”
“That’s why I gave you so much money before all this happened, so you could do the groundwork!”
The Legal Affairs Director had nothing to say other than to apologize.
Since Chairman Na had been summoned, it was a situation where he couldn’t easily harm Prosecutor Jin La-in. Mistiming could lead to Chairman Na being in trouble.
“Director, I absolutely have no intention of following that investigation. Please make sure that arrogant brat Jin La-in doesn’t rampage anymore. Ugh… This is not the time for me to be dealing with this.”
Gold Moran hastily returned home. It was to receive Chairman Na’s bathwater.
The bathwater, made by adding medicinal herbs and aroma oil, took three hours to prepare, but there was no better remedy for soothing Chairman Na’s discomfort.
Returning home, Chairman Na displayed an annoyed expression.
“Chairman, change into your clothes quickly and take a bath.”
“I’ll bathe later. My head hurts too much right now.”
“Chairman, I sincerely prepared this bathwater for you. Please at least soak your feet.”
Gold Moran, with a sweet voice, lured him towards the bathtub. Sitting on the edge, she poured water over his body and dipped her hands into the water, molding it around his feet.
“All right. Your clothes are all wet.”
“Are these clothes important? I’m too happy just to be able to be by Chairman’s side like this.”
Chairman Na’s initially sharp emotions softened little by little with the touch of Gold Moran’s hands.
“Chairman, I’m sorry.”
Normally, Chairman Na might have casually accepted or overlooked such stories, but not today.
“Let’s observe the situation a bit.”
Gold Moran almost unintentionally tensed her grip. She controlled her strength, seeking a spot where the stress could be relieved, while pressing against the throbbing area.
“Chairman, the prosecution has summoned you too… You’re not going, right? They’re trying to embarrass you, calling in Chairman, who has done nothing wrong.”
Chairman Na closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Gold Moran, rolling her cunning eyes, grasped the atmosphere, then stimulated him with a gentler touch.
“But Chairman… what the articles are gossiping about, it might actually be true.”
“What are you talking about?”
Gold Moran knelt beside the bathtub. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
“Our Song Rim might really… have messed with some bad drugs.”
Chairman Na was on the verge of being anxious, but perhaps due to the relaxing bathwater, he couldn’t gather as much strength in his muscles as his determined mind.
“Chairman, as you know, how harshly Song Kang treated Song Rim and Song Woon…”
“It’s because Song Kang is trying to play the role of a brother, an older brother. Is that the reason?”
“I’m telling you this now. Outside, he doesn’t treat us like siblings, and within Taesung, he doesn’t even acknowledge us. Our children suffered a lot because of that.”
“Song Kang, that guy? Inside, he acts like an older brother to his siblings, but when he goes outside, he deliberately gives off that impression.”
Gold Moran, with tears streaming down her face, lowered her head deeply.
“Did you let Chairman know about that? Because of that, our Song Rim received psychiatric treatment. Even with that… Huh… I can’t even see Song Rim’s face now…”
Since the incident broke out, Gold Moran, who deliberately distanced herself from Na Song Rim, began to sob as if she had lost a child.
Chairman Na couldn’t figure out what was going on. The sense of betrayal from his trusted son was deeper than he thought.
“I should… bring that guy right away if it weren’t for this bathwater!”
“Oh… Chairman, please calm down. You’ve been under too much stress lately; you shouldn’t jeopardize your health like this.”
Gold Moran got up and grabbed his arm.
“Chairman, if you go astray, I’ll follow you. I can’t live without you. Even now… Song Kang will treat me as if I don’t exist.”
The bait at the end of her words was sincere.
“You’re much younger than me, yet you’re talking like that.”
He laid down again, holding Gold Moran’s hand, contemplating.
“At the next board meeting, I’ll take care of Song Rim’s candidacy for CEO. Even if I die, I’ll make sure Song Kang can’t easily replace you with my sons and daughters. Don’t worry about that.”
Chairman Na bit the bait eagerly, and Gold Moran barely held back a smile.
“Just your words are enough to be thankful for. More than that, you’ve been in the water for too long; it must be exhausting. Dear, Chairman, let me cut your hair. I’ll prepare for you to sleep soon.”
She behaved as if there was nothing more important than Chairman Na. He closed his eyes comfortably, and Gold Moran, with a playful touch, cut his hair.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
