“Calling her a concubine wouldn’t be appropriate given her significant power. She’s known as the real power within the group and is referred to as the chairman’s second wife. Chairman Oguybaek’s legal wife has two children, a son and a daughter. The son, O Seongjin, is the president of Pyeong-an Construction. O Seongjin is a weak person, known for being unable to move a finger against his father. The problem lies with O Seongjin’s children. Although O Seongjin has a son and a daughter, the son is reckless, and the daughter is tightly held by her husband.”
Gaeul’s head moved slowly up and down. Now she seemed to understand.
Why her external family was trying to take her and Wujin away. More precisely, it was her grandmother, not the external family, trying to take them away. Sehyun’s continued explanation supported Gaeul’s thoughts.
“The daughter, O Myeonghee, married the third son of the Jinhyung Group. A person named Park Gyujae, known for his significant ambition. Chairman Oguybaek must be wary of him. If he takes control of Pyeongan Group, it’s only a matter of time before Pyeongan falls into Jinhyung’s hands.”
“Does that possibility exist?”
“We can’t say there’s no chance. Since Park Gyujae also has ambitions for Pyeongan, wouldn’t it be likely that he’s working at Pyeongan, not Jinhyung?”
“Is there no possibility of the son becoming the successor to the group?”
Daeun asked.
“My son, O Myeongse, miraculously isn’t in prison. Rumor has it he has caused all sorts of accidents. Chairman O Seongjin is said to be preoccupied with covering up for his son, leaving no time to focus on the company.”
“How interesting. So Chairman Oguybaek is designating the concubine’s son as the successor.”
“Not yet. The legal wife, Jang Ji-hong, is doing her best to stop that.”
“But the answer is already decided. On one side, there’s a son receiving the chairman’s favor, on the other side, a reckless son, or maybe a wild card. In this case, the concubine’s victory is obvious.”
“So, Jang Ji-hong needs a cheat code.”
Gaeul intervened unexpectedly. Daeun and Sehyun focused their attention on Gaeul.
“That cheat code seems to be the daughter’s children she neglected until now. Did you receive any proposals from that side?”
Daeun asked.
“They want to take Wujin and me.”
Daeun stared at Gaeul. Gaeul gave the answer she wanted to hear. Since it was me who made it happen, it should be that way.
“It seems you’ve decided to go, judging from asking about Pyeongan Group.”
Nevertheless, Daeun confirmed once again.
“Yes.”
Gaeul replied firmly. Daeun nodded and exchanged glances with Sehyun.
“Well, now it’s time to deal with our issues. Have you contacted TS Tech?”
“I did, but…”
Sehyun looked at Gaeul, seeming concerned about discussing business in Gaeul’s presence.
“It’s okay. Just talk. Han Gaeul won’t have anything to do with us once she leaves this neighborhood.”
“True.”
Sehyun agreed and brought up the main topic. Gaeul awkwardly held her ground. She missed the timing to say she would leave. She subtly felt worried. She had to tell Wujin’s father about this. So, it might be better not to hear.
“I met with the CEO of TS Tech, but it won’t be easy. He’s a representative of a startup, yet he was quite arrogant. He must be confident in their technology. Given that they currently have the best encryption technology in the industry, it’s understandable.”
“Push harder. Agree to whatever demands they have. We must acquire TS Tech. Their encryption technology will change the landscape of the mobile phone market.”
Gaeul listened absentmindedly to their conversation. Since the boss said, ‘Han Gaeul won’t have anything to do with us once she leaves this neighborhood,’ she lost concentration from then on.
It felt empty. It seemed like she had lost everything. Although she had decided to go to her external family herself, it felt disheartening. Whether it was because she couldn’t feel the reality of leaving the neighborhood where she had lived all her life or because the boss didn’t seem to care much about her leaving, she wasn’t sure.
The boss and Sehyun were deeply immersed in their conversation, seemingly oblivious to Gaeul’s absence. Since the boss said, ‘Han Gaeul won’t have anything to do with us once she leaves this neighborhood,’ she felt a sense of emptiness. Gaeul absentmindedly looked at the boss as if she was no longer there.
The boss in front of her seemed different from the person she knew. There was no one wasting their life with the inherited wealth. Gaeul doubted if she had misjudged the person. Was it only when it was time to leave that she saw the true colors of the boss?
“Let’s go out and eat. I haven’t had a meal yet.”
While Gaeul was lost in thought, the boss suddenly stood up and spoke. Gaeul snapped out of her thoughts.
“Is there a place to eat around here?”
“What are you saying? People live in this neighborhood too.”
“Gaeul, come with us.”
“I’ve already eaten. You two enjoy your meal.”
Gaeul had openly lied, discussing lunch menus with the boss until just before Sehyun arrived. She needed to send them away to organize her thoughts and report to Wujin’s father.
“Then, you order oxtail soup and enjoy your meal.”
Ignoring Gaeul’s claim of having eaten, Daeun left a ten-thousand-won bill on the table before exiting.
“Well, you two, enjoy your meal and come back.”
Gaeul instinctively bowed 90 degrees.
After the boss and Sehyun left the office, Gaeul took out her phone to report to Wujin’s father. However, she hesitated to dial the number.
It was strange. Why did the boss change attitudes? On the day Sehyun first visited, the boss had kicked Gaeul out of the office.
Creating a pretext for Gaeul to help with tasks that a part-time worker could handle alone. But just a while ago, the boss said it was fine for Gaeul to listen to the conversation with Sehyun. At the same time, he brought up business talk in Gaeul’s presence.
Gaeul was lost in thought. Perhaps they wanted me to hear their conversation? Somehow, it seemed that way. Why did they let me overhear their conversation?
No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t find an answer. Suddenly, she felt like the boss knew that she was reporting his actions to Wujin’s father. The moment she thought of it, her heart sank.
Gaeul thoroughly reviewed if she had ever acted suspiciously in front of the boss. It seemed like she hadn’t. Still, she didn’t know.
She had entered this office through an introduction from Wujin’s father. What kind of person does the boss see in Wujin’s father? If the boss doesn’t trust Wujin’s father, it would be unreasonable to trust us.
Is he testing me, by any chance? The thought suddenly made her nervous. Gaeul glanced at the boss’s seat. There was no answer there.
Instead, there was a ten-thousand-won bill that the boss had left behind. Gaeul stared at the bill.
Perhaps that was the boss’s answer. Even if he might drive me to death, he wouldn’t let me starve to death. Gaeul slowly picked up the bill. She didn’t feel anything bad.
Gaeul decided to trust the boss, whose words and actions were contradictory. Despite the harsh words, the boss always looked out for her.
So, Gaeul called Wujin’s father and relayed the conversation between the boss and Sehyun. It seemed like the boss wanted that to happen.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
