Director Kim understands Siyun’s feelings, but for the sake of his child, Director Kim extends his hand to his grandson once again.
“How is it? No matter what, he’s my son and your uncle.”
“…….”
“I should create a person before closing my eyes. That’s my wish.”
“Rather than a foundation, turn it into a scholarship fund.”
Among the Taehan Foundation, the place that had been running without any trouble for the longest time was the scholarship fund.
“All the board members of the scholarship fund are motivated by transparent management. Even if the chairman changes, the identity will not waver.”
Moreover, Byungjun currently held a position on the board of the scholarship fund without any major issues.
“Already, you are also a board member of the scholarship fund, so even if you are appointed as the chairman, there won’t be much opposition from the board members.”
“Byungjun wants to try something new with his own strength.”
He always wanted something new and declared that he would try it with his own strength. However, it only brought mistakes and disappointments. Knowing this, Siyun wanted to prevent Director Kim’s decision. Afraid that it might lead to disappointment again.
“As a father, I want to entrust it to you one last time.”
Director Kim took out documents and an external hard drive.
“These are the documents for the institution we are about to acquire. The legal team is handling it anyway, but examine it closely and see if there are any leaks. That way, I can also conduct an inspection on Byungjun.”
“I understand your intentions, grandfather. But this could be used to assist you, but it could also be used as a knife to stab Uncle later.”
Siyun couldn’t understand why Director Kim was passing these materials to him when they could be used as checks on Byungjun.
“Why are you passing the knife to me?”
“I’ve never taught you how to stab others throughout my life as an educator. Even if I give you a knife, it’s to save others.”
At those words, Siyun bowed his head.
“I request your assistance. Also, come out for lunch later. I asked Miju to join. We can also talk about finding family members.”
In the spacious garden, a quiet atmosphere was created for Director Kim and Miju to talk alone.
Having faced Director Kim after a long time, Miju was quite tense. She expected to discuss the upcoming wedding, but Director Kim asked about something completely different – the story of Miju’s parents, which she couldn’t remember.
Miju took out her phone and showed a picture. A three-year-old girl in a frilly pink dress and pink shoes, wearing a large ribbon headband. It was a photo of Miju when she was about three years old.
“This is how I looked when I was first found.”
“At three years old?”
“Yes.”
Three-year-old Miju tightly held a snack bag in the photo. The explanation continued that it was given to her by the police when she was tired of crying after losing her parents.
However, this explanation was not entirely accurate. It was a story that Miju heard from a caregiver just before leaving the childcare center, who had heard it from someone else. That caregiver had simply passed on the story to Miju.
“Three years old, it’s possible to have no memories at all.”
“Yes, I only vaguely remember having a mom and dad.”
This, too, cannot be guaranteed. Growing up with the thought that a child should have a mom and dad, at some point, the existence of mom and dad might have been planted in Miju’s subconscious.
“I called you because I want to help you find your parents, Miju.”
“Yes?”
She had expected and anticipated it, but fear overcame Miju. It would be good if they were found, but even if found, what if they were not pleased to see her?
Though her heart had grown as large as she wanted and she had become an adult, she didn’t want to find herself in a situation where she would be rejected by her parents once again.
“I know what you’re worried about. But let’s worry about it after trying to find them. Even if you can’t find them, now you have Siyun and me, your grandfather.”
“Yes.”
Miju couldn’t even express her gratitude; she just held her two hands together.
Director Kim pulled out his phone in front of me and looked at Miju’s childhood photo again.
Fine clothes. Fine shoes. It’s not easy to dress up like that. Why did Miju lose her place in a well-off family that seemed to be loving?
Or was it intentional, expressing the last affection by dressing up the child in good clothes and shoes to abandon her?
Looking at the photo alone, Director Kim and Miju couldn’t figure it out.
Siyun went to the office of the institution to be newly acquired and started working.
It was still uncertain whether Uncle Byungjun would take charge of the welfare foundation, or if a welfare expert would be appointed. In any case, until the facility opens, Siyun had to take charge.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
