“Yes. Jaekyung Oppa.”
Gayoung replied with a smile on her face and a nasal tone.
“Are you testifying that President Hwang Minjun committed personnel misconduct?”
“Yes? Uh… no, not that.”
Gayoung blushed in embarrassment.
“Please refrain from uncertain stories.”
Did Jaekyung take her side? Bomi looked at Jaekyung with an unbelieving gaze.
Without changing his expression, Jaekyung escorted Yeonhee to the elevator.
“Jaekyung, even though Grandma burdens you in various ways… please take care of the new business.”
“Don’t worry.”
“I trust you, Jaekyung.”
Yeonhee looked at her son with an affectionate expression. When her husband, Do Wonil, died in an accident, most people turned to support President Hwang Minjun.
Both the father, Chairman Do Junseok, and the mother-in-law, Lee Hae Young, did not protect the two and showed a cold attitude, blaming the tarnished image of DoWon Group on Wonil. The media persistently stuck to them, and Yeonhee and Jaekyung became mentally weak. There was even an accident that threatened Jaekyung’s life.
She guessed that all of this was caused by President Hwang Minjun’s influence, fearing that Jaekyung might inherit DoWon Group.
For Jaekyung’s safety, Yeonhee decided to go abroad.
Jaekyung, who had been living abroad since he was about ten, returned to Korea six years ago.
As a prestigious family, Chairman Do wished to pass on the company to his grandson rather than follow the agreement with President Hwang. Yeonhee finally returned to Korea with the determination to resolve her unjust husband’s grudge. The day before the announcement of Jaekyung as the successor, he had an unexpected accident.
It was a sorrow that could not be compared to when her husband died. Yeonhee’s life was shaken from the roots by the incident that almost took Jaekyung away. Despite raising him with a stern attitude for revenge, she couldn’t let go of her son just like her husband.
“Please come in.”
Jaekyung greeted abruptly and returned to his office.
“Mother, please invite me to your house.”
Gayoung stuck to Yeonhee, smiling brightly. Yeon Gayoung, a strategic marriage partner for the purpose of reconciliation with President Hwang Minjun. She was not appealing in appearance, personality, or ability as a match for Jaekyung.
However, it didn’t matter. If it meant Jaekyung’s safety and securing a future for the family, she was willing to endure the ordeal of accepting the enemy’s relative.
‘DoWon Group and Hwang Construction are one family. Marrying someone from President Hwang’s side will strengthen the relationship and stabilize it externally. Jaekyung is not young, anyway. Since Jaekyung is going to inherit DoWon Group, it doesn’t matter if your father breaks the promise, as the public image is already tarnished.’
In response to her mother-in-law Haeyeong’s words, Yeonhee couldn’t help but swallow the rising anger. It was true that instability existed within DoWon Group due to the long-standing factional battles, as Haeyeong mentioned. The union of the two families might be a necessary process for future profit and development. However, if it was just to snatch an opportunity away from Jaekyung…
Moreover, faced with Gayoung’s vulgarity as a future daughter-in-law, Yeonhee involuntarily sighed. Trying to set up Jaekyung with such a girl felt like Haeyeong’s conspiracy, cursing the bloodline of Do Wonil.
If only the chairman were healthy, they might not have faced such a tragedy.
“I’ll make a cake. I’ve been taking bridal classes lately, so I can make various things.”
“Alright. Let me know.”
Yeonhee casually uttered her words, hiding her unwillingness to deal with the situation. Between the closing doors of the elevator, she saw a woman who was said to be sponsored by President Hwang Minjun entering the office with Jaekyung. Since she saw her in front of the secretary’s office, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Where did she see that girl? When the girl turned her head, the profile of her face overlapped with someone.
Yeonhee frowned. When she wondered who she resembled, the unfortunate woman came to mind.
The woman who died with my husband. Han Ga-eul.
Dealing with a woman drenched in the scent of perfume all morning gave Jaekyung a headache. His appearance entering the office after escorting his mother seemed precarious. He bit his teeth, knowing that showing such a state to someone could be dangerous.
He couldn’t reveal Jaekyung’s weaknesses to those trying to find fault with him. He hadn’t suffered from headaches for a while…
Jaekyung narrowed his forehead at the sweet fragrance. His mind became calm and clear, feeling refreshed.
“Sir.”
A woman’s voice could be heard, and it seemed like a bright light entered the darkened vision.
“President.”
“Ah, Representative Han Bomi.”
Should he go to the hospital? Lately, the intervals between headaches had become shorter.
“What happened to our office?”
Jaekyung, pretending not to be bothered, threw out casual words as he walked ahead into the office.
“President.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
