Winter stood up, bowed silently to Madam Jang, and then walked towards the door ahead of Autumn.
“I walked from the bus stop under the scorching sun to here, and it would feel unsatisfactory to just leave. I’ll say one more thing. After proving their worth, did O Myung-se and O Myung-hee each secure a position in the group?”
“What?”
Autumn left without waiting for an answer. It wasn’t a question to hear an answer.
Autumn already knew from Lawyer Jung Se-hyun about O Myung-se and O Myung-hee, the grandchildren of Chairman Oh Kyu-baek. Whether characters like O Myung-se had secured a place in the group after proving their worth, Autumn didn’t care to know.
Madam Jang Ji-hong, who was staring at the closed door after being speechless, pressed the intercom and instructed the housemaid to bring a glass of cold water.
Where did such worn-out children come from? Instead of embracing them willingly, she ended up dealing with them. Drinking a glass of cold water might help soothe the rising anger in her chest.
Unlike Madam Jang, Autumn had a relieved expression.
“As expected, you didn’t prepare at all.”
Autumn muttered as she walked out of the main gate.
“That’s right. Chairman Yedun seems to be truly remarkable. It was just as Chairman had forewarned. The atmosphere was for hiring employees, not for meeting grandchildren. It doesn’t feel quite like our grandmother.”
Winter, who usually didn’t express her inner thoughts well, wasn’t acting like herself. She seemed quite fed up with Madam Jang Ji-hong’s cold attitude.
“If you didn’t want to come, Mom wouldn’t have left.”
‘How hard could it be to say, “You’ve worked hard,” or “It must have been difficult for you guys to live on your own?” If the meeting had started with such words, they wouldn’t have rushed out in the middle.’
“Winter, let’s live well. I’ll learn hard working under our chairman. Our chairman seems like a completely different person. He invested in stocks as the chairman suggested, and he made money. He’s also close to someone named Jung Se-hyun. That person is a lawyer. I overheard our chairman talking to him, and he doesn’t seem like that kind of lawyer.”
Autumn chattered non-stop as they walked to the bus stop. Even if she didn’t say it, Winter must have been hurt. It was because of the cold attitude of their external grandmother.
Autumn looked at the still bright sky, where the sun, which had not yet lost its power, was shining. It was a day when she really missed her mom.
We had decided to live well together, but it wasn’t easy. The experience that life in the world is really not easy came a few days after returning from the external grandmother’s house.
During that time, thanks to Little Father who had intervened, I fortunately said my final goodbye to the chairman and diligently went to work at the office.
After returning from the external grandmother’s house, Autumn told the chairman about what had happened. The chairman remained expressionless throughout the story.
Since things turned out that way, I decided to continue working under the chairman. After hearing that, the chairman, as usual, casually said a few words.
“Give me a cup of coffee.”
Autumn, who was going to the coffee room, spoke cheerfully.
“Chairman, let’s buy a coffee machine too. Since the chairman has grown up. Let’s raise the level of our coffee too.”
Perhaps it was because I had seen Grandfather’s house, but the memories of the coffee I used to drink when Father was alive came to mind. A statement that shattered those memories quickly reached Autumn’s ears.
“Across the street, there’s a cafe where you can buy coffee, and there are people who will go there to buy coffee. Also, how about the level of instant coffee.”
Come to think of it, when I first worked here, I often went across the street to the cafe to buy coffee. I stopped going there one day. Maybe it was after the chairman became addicted to instant coffee?
While brewing coffee, Autumn’s phone rang. The caller was her grandmother.
“Grandma.”
Autumn, something serious has happened. Winter caused an assault incident. Winter’s homeroom teacher just called. Winter hit another child. They’re asking you to come to school, but I can’t go because I have to prepare for the evening business here.
Grandmother’s voice trembled. Although she couldn’t believe that Winter had hit someone, she was accepting it and worrying.
“I’ll go, Grandma. I’ll go.”
Holding her pounding heart, Autumn hung up the phone. Even after hanging up, it was difficult to accept for a while. Winter, hitting someone. ‘School violence,’ they said.
In any case, she had to go to school. To get permission, Autumn called the chairman with a trembling voice.
“Chairman. I’ll take a half day off today.”
“What’s the matter?”
“If I can’t take half a day off, you can just treat it as early leave.”
“What’s going on?”
“Winter caused an assault incident at school.”
“Winter? That kid did? Hit someone?”
Daewoon questioned. It was also an unbelievable fact. Winter, who matured too early, creating a violent incident.
“It’s probably nothing. Boys often fight while growing up.”
Although Daewoon’s words were meant to reassure her, implying that it was nothing, Autumn, as if she didn’t want to deal with him, went to her desk, picked up her bag, and left.
“Wait a moment.”
While Daewoon picked up his phone, Autumn was already at the door.
“I told you to wait. It’s not first come, first served, so why rush like that.”
Daewoon hurriedly approached and grabbed Autumn’s arm to stop her. What she turned back with was a piercing gaze.
“Is this a joke to you, Chairman?”
“There’s nothing good about going early. Listen to someone with experience.”
Experience? Did the chairman mean he had been involved in a school violence incident before? As an assailant? Or as a victim? While Autumn looked puzzled, Daewoon quickly dialed Sehyun’s number.
“Yeah, Sehyun. Another assault incident. You should come quickly.”
A grumbling sound was heard from the other end of the phone. Perhaps he wasn’t particularly fond of chasing after the police. Still, Autumn watched Daewoon, who was making the call, with an earnest heart.
“Do we really need a lawyer for a kids’ fight?”
Just in case, Autumn asked Daewoon.
“This kid talks like she knows nothing about the world. In any case, overpowering is important.”
Nodding in agreement with Daewoon’s words, Autumn continued to watch Daewoon making the call with an anxious heart.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
