Pointing to a small chair in front of him, Chairman Seol said, nodding her head, Su-yeong sat down on that chair.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Kim Su-yeong.”
For a girl, her voice was quite deep and low.
Thinking that it didn’t suit her cute face, Chairman Seol scrutinized the child again.
“I’m Woo-jin’s great-grandfather.”
“Yes. I heard from the gentleman in a suit over there. You have many lawyers, don’t you?”
At the sudden mention of lawyers, Chairman Seol’s eyes widened.
“Why lawyers?”
“Seol Woo-jin threatened me, saying that if he did something wrong to me, his grandfather would hire a lawyer and charge me a penalty. He even said he might have to sell his house. Even though our house is a rental property…”
For some reason, seeing the younger sister-like appearance of her brother pointing out his mistakes to his grandfather, Chairman Seol’s eyes gradually softened.
Naeun couldn’t treat him so kindly. No, only Dr. Kang Hyung-min treated him kindly.
Am I not scary to this kid?
Chairman Seol pursed his lips and asked again with a muffled sound.
“So, is that why you’re here next to Woo-jin?”
“Not exactly, I’m just conveying Grandpa’s words to Woo-jin.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“… Did you happen to be a celebrity in your younger days?”
“Hmm?”
“No, it’s not. Just checking.”
Hmm, a strange kid has attached herself to Woo-jin, he thought.
This child doesn’t even watch the news. Since he claims not to know himself, Chairman Seol just nodded without revealing anything.
“He went out with Woo-jin. How did you manage to take him out when he finds it difficult to go outside?”
“Oh, I originally agreed to work for about three weeks in place of our aunt. But since Seol Woo-jin asked for more work, I included a 5-minute walk as part of the long-term employment contract. Now it’s 10 minutes, though…”
“Why?”
“Huh?”
“Why did Woo-jin want to take a walk? It’s not a housemaid job.”
“Well… because he can’t go outside.”
Su-yeong replied with an expression that implied it was obvious.
“What I mean is, whether that child goes outside or not, what does it have to do with you? A housemaid’s job is just to take care of the house, isn’t it?”
Su-yeong looked at him with a somewhat unfair expression, wondering if he was being reprimanded for committing a wrongful act.
Chairman Seol, however, found it perplexing in the gaze he received.
“No, it’s like professional dog trainers persuade dogs who can’t walk to go outside somehow. Shouldn’t we help people go out, whether they want to or not? How can a person stay at home all their life? Even fully paralyzed patients come outside in wheelchairs to feel the breeze, right?”
It was a reasonable statement. The problem was that even though this or that person tried, it didn’t work well.
What was surprising was that Woo-jin only followed this child’s words, and she saw him as an irresponsible grandfather who made no effort for his grandson.
She had hoped for some miraculous solution, but Chairman Seol just thought that his grandson had feelings for this child, and that was it.
Did God send his daughter to pay for the sins of his father?
Is it really okay for this child to be okay with that? For Woo-jin…?
“I’ll continue to rely on you.”
When Chairman Seol said this heavily, Su-yeong stared at him. Wasn’t he going to scold her?
To make sure, she asked more directly.
“But, I’m not an expert. Is it okay for me to continue being next to Seol Woo-jin?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, Seol Woo-jin’s friend told me that as a non-expert, I shouldn’t be next to him. I don’t have knowledge about blind people. So, I hesitated whether it’s okay to stay by his side. But if you say I should stay, I’ll gain confidence.”
A faint smile appeared on Chairman Seol’s lips in response to the child’s cheeky words.
“Stay by his side.”
“Yes!”
Politely saying goodbye, Su-yeong happily left the rooftop. Chairman Seol gestured to his secretary and quietly said,
“Don’t let that child know that her father is Kim Cheol-ho. Also, make sure that she doesn’t know that her dad’s accident victim is Woo-jin.”
“Yes. Understood.”
Chairman Seol resolved himself. Leave it to God. Since he committed the mistake, he’ll handle the resolution himself.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
