The weekend passed, and Monday morning arrived. It was also the day Danwoo would meet his mother.
In the dressing room, Jaean, who had entered together, chose a striped tie. As she turned around, Danwoo, as if waiting for her, hugged her and seated her on the dresser.
While Jaean, in light-colored tie, tied a Windsor knot, Danwoo gently held her waist.
After finishing the tie knot, Jaean picked up the cufflinks and tie pin set. The tie pin was intricately decorated with a red ruby.
“They say fear disappears when you wear a red ruby.”
“Really?”
“Yeah… By the way, can I go with you when you visit your mother?”
Jaean smiled and patted his chest with her palm, smoothing out the wrinkles on the dress shirt.
Then, with a smile that expressed hope for a trouble-free day for Danwoo, she neatly smiled.
“Your mother will go straight to Han Dongdae Hospital. Let’s go together.”
Hyesu was planning to be admitted to the VIP ward at Han Dongdae Hospital as soon as she left the Blue Care Hospital.
Danwoo’s concern and consideration were for his mother, who had been confined to a closed ward for the past 10 years.
“I hope the afternoon comes quickly so I can see your mother.”
Danwoo felt a sense of relief for some reason, trusting Jaean’s words that he would be able to see his mother in the afternoon.
In the car heading to the play round.
Prosecutor Hwang Gi-hyeon called Danwoo.
There will be an announcement from the special investigation team. Please keep President Woo Seon-ho temporarily engaged during that time.
Danwoo finished the call with Prosecutor Hwang and fixed his gaze outside the window. Today, he hoped that the clear sky would be on the side of justice.
The prosecution planned to announce the investigation results on the Hae-song Bio incident this morning and arrest Woo Seon-ho, the president of Hae-song Group.
At the same time, there would be Sujeong’s confession and voluntary attendance.
So far, the prosecution had repeated announcements that the investigation was proceeding smoothly, without mentioning anything else. Thanks to this, various rumors about Danwoo were circulating incessantly.
However, today’s announcement would reveal that the fake replication drug incident at Hae-song Bio was the result of Seon-ho’s actions over the past 10 years.
Also, there were plans to summon individuals involved in embezzling the group’s operating funds and accumulating slush funds through Hae-song Bio.
At the same time.
Seon-ho’s office at Hae-song Group.
“President, there’s a travel ban order for President Woo Danwoo.”
“Is it true?”
“Yes. It was urgently decided early this morning.”
Thinking about fleeing overseas, Seon-ho laughed loudly upon hearing the report from the director.
It seemed that his feelings that the prosecution investigation was disadvantageous to Hae-song Group were an excessive concern.
Coincidentally, Danwoo received a phone call.
This is Woo Danwoo.
“What’s going on at this hour?”
Seon-ho, hiding his surprise, quickly lowered his voice.
I wonder if the merger proposal you suggested last time is still valid. If you clear my mother’s charges, I will merge The Eagles into Hae Song.
“Well…”
Woo Seon-ho responded leisurely.
Receiving Danwoo’s urgent call, he was convinced that the prosecution’s announcement would be favorable to him.
“If you accept all the merger conditions I proposed, I’ll consider it.”
I’m currently tied up in the office. The situation with the prosecution doesn’t look good. Please hand over the evidence that Soojeong is the mastermind behind the Hae Song Bio incident.
That’s obvious. I’ll head over there soon.
Seon-ho had lobbied to shift the blame onto the already-deceased Soojeong, but he hadn’t received a satisfactory answer.
However, with things turning out like this, it seemed that the investigation results were in his favor. The success of the lobbying against the prosecution also implied something meaningful.
He looked up at the director and laughed confidently once again.
“Director, how about it? Everything went as I said! Contact the legal team to prepare the merger documents.”
Shortly afterward, Seon-ho left the representative’s office with a satisfied expression.
As Seon-ho entered the office of the representative of Play Round, Danwoo, who stood up from his desk, welcomed him.
It was their first meeting since the face-to-face meeting at the Hae Song House.
When Danwoo gestured for him to sit, Seon-ho ignored it and sat on the main seat of the sofa. He then handed Danwoo the merger contract received from the director.
“First, sign the contract.”
Danwoo, shaking his head vaguely, opened the file and read the contract. Even upon reexamination, the contract for the absorption merger of The Eagles into Hae Song left him astonished.
Holding the pen as if he were going to sign, Danwoo asked Seon-ho.
“What exactly have my mother and I done so wrong? Moreover, what happened to my father’s accident?”
“…”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
