“Hey, Inho. What if you say such things without consulting Mom? It’s not just any position; it’s the chairman’s seat. Do you know who President Kang is?”
After concluding the meeting with Hyunjung and getting into the car, Yeongseon poured out the story with a face still dizzy from the emotions she hadn’t managed to express.
Only after closing the back seat door did Suyeon fully look at Yeongseon.
“President Kang is a good person.”
“How would you know that! You didn’t say anything until the last time we talked about President Kang. Ah, my head…”
Yeongseon sighed deeply while grabbing her temples. It seemed like her impulsive words were causing more trouble than she thought.
Suyeon pressed her lips firmly.
It was an impulsive act to express her firm conviction, and she regretted it, thinking that she should have discussed it with Yeongseon first and talked about it later. However, she hadn’t expected Hyunjung to speak up about her, so even if she could turn back time, she might have ended up repeating the same action.
“Suyeon mentioned President Kang before.”
Suyeon, who had been contemplating for a while, glanced at Yeongseon cautiously.
There was a moment when Yeongseon, who had been holding her head, suddenly turned her gaze.
“Suyeon?”
“Yes, there was a story when I was young. There was a person who occasionally came to our house for work-related matters, and every time, he treated me warmly. He didn’t explicitly say it was President Kang, but considering what President Kang said today, it seems to be him.”
Suyeon tried hard to put on a trustworthy smile.
In fact, she had never brought up Hyunjung to Inho. She had completely forgotten about Hyunjung amidst the harsh realities. Even if she had thought about it, she hadn’t expected Inho to mention it, and even if she could turn back time, she would have likely repeated the same action.
“But still, I haven’t clearly figured out what kind of person he is…”
Despite her efforts, Yeongseon still couldn’t dispel her anxiety.
Suyeon, who had been contemplating for a while, gently held Yeongseon’s hand.
Then she looked directly into her eyes.
“Even now, you can find out what kind of person President Kang is. If you find out and feel uncomfortable, you can leave it to someone else.”
“How do you take back what’s already been said?”
“Didn’t you see President Kang’s expression earlier? He seemed quite uncomfortable. Maybe he’ll be relieved if we say we can’t do it later.”
Suyeon shrugged without waiting for an answer.
Yeongseon finally sighed with a more relaxed expression.
Suyeon smiled even more brightly, trying to reassure Yeongseon.
But Yeongseon’s heart was still uneasy.
“By the way, Suyeon, are you doing well? I’m intentionally not reaching out first, afraid it might be burdensome.”
The voice from across suddenly made Suyeon feel more uncomfortable.
“…Yes, I’m doing well.”
Unable to face Yeongseon, Suyeon avoided eye contact as if avoiding an answer.
“I’ll be waiting. I’ll endure until you come to pick me up. So, don’t worry about me… Let’s see each other soon.”
She was curious as well.
Since their last call, there had been no contact, and she wondered if he was doing well without any issues. Thanks to Inho, she was living a life overflowing with comfort and wealth. Although she couldn’t eat or sleep well due to his concerns, compared to him, her life was luxurious. There was no need to fear the violence that might come anytime. Her heart became increasingly heavy.
After wandering in those thoughts for a while, she cautiously spoke.
“You mentioned that the secured Taesin shares were about 20 percent until now, right?”
“Yeah. Including what Director Kim has, it should be slightly less than 25 percent.”
Instead of answering, Suyeon nodded her head slightly.
A 25 percent stake in a large corporation was indeed a tremendous achievement. She keenly felt how much effort Yeongseon had put into this. However, it was still an uneasy level to definitively remove Daeho from the Taesin Group chairman position according to the original plan.
Suyeon took a deep breath.
The name written in the materials she received from Yeongseon came to her mind.
Park Chunho.
He was said to be the largest shareholder in Taesin. It was presumed to be around 10 percent under his name, and he owned more through nominee accounts. If he was indeed someone with a close relationship with Daeho, it wasn’t unreasonable to think he had a considerable stake. However, it was doubtful that someone with such a close relationship with Daeho had gone unnoticed by her until now. Daeho and Hyegyeong often talked about many things during dinner, mostly related to the company. Even though they always pretended to be ignorant, they often learned about important figures and current situations in the company. Of course, in front of them, they always pretended not to know.
‘Park Chunho.’
Suyeon repeated the name of the largest shareholder in her mind.
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…?
