But after hearing those words, she couldn’t help but feel thankful. If it weren’t for Ji Yeonhwa’s sponsorship, Eunseo might not have met Eunho alive. Or Eunho might have had to live with a disability not only in his mind but also in his body.
Still, Suna snorted.
“Huh, Eunseo, you know, right? The chairman’s second job is running the welfare foundation due to image laundering. It’s not about being kind; it’s about pretending to be kind.”
“Yeah, I know. But thanks to that pretense, Eunho survived.”
“So what?”
“It seems like it would be courteous to express gratitude.”
“Ms. Choi Wonha, that was actually…”
The PD lowered his voice and began to speak.
“What? Did you say Chris put my ranking and his ranking together?”
Choi Wonha looked dumbfounded at the main PD’s words.
Wasn’t that my seat? Moreover, it wasn’t even the 31st place; with the votes that came later, it was 38th?
“Yes. Last time, we somehow managed to adjust things, but since we’ve already been suspected of manipulation once, it’s difficult to tamper with the results again. We can’t afford to go to jail, can we?”
The PD sighed as if making a complaint.
“We’ll do our best to help Choi Wonha debut, but you also need to make an effort. There are limits to what we can do with editing, and it’s starting to be noticeable…”
As a PD, it wasn’t easy to say such things to the chairman’s niece.
But at some point, he really had to speak up. Putting an easily noticeable 38th-place candidate, who later combined votes would be 38th, into the 14th place was something that couldn’t go unnoticed.
The fandom was noticeably small, the ranking was high, and the skills were lacking, but every episode ended with comments like, “It’s suspicious how the votes for X only come out so well.”
Isn’t that Choi Wonha’s X, the son of the station’s president for real?
└ The station president is Mr. Park.
Then is he the son of CP or the main PD?
└ CP is Mr. Lee, and the main PD is Mr. Kim.
└ I heard the PD’s son is three years old. Probably calling for baby shark ㅋ
Why does he get so many votes when he’s just a handful in the fandom?
└ Anonymous tip for ‘Tell me about it’ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Meanwhile, only a few Choi Wonha fans were seen here and there, shielding themselves saying, ‘It’s because we want the public’s pick,’ and ended up getting curses.
Fortunately, Choi Wonha was the chairman’s wife’s niece and not related to Kwon or Ji. If even one of them had the same last name, they would have already been caught up in the netizen investigation and caused a commotion.
In such a situation, not being able to distinguish right from wrong, thinking he was in the top tier, Choi Wonha was rampaging as if he were indifferent, so not only the main PD but also the entire production team felt deceived.
“Please, Choi Wonha. Please control your actions a bit.”
To the main PD who was handling the situation, Choi Wonha nodded.
“Understood.”
Eunseo called Ji Yeonhwa using the contact she received when she met her.
Eunseo?
Before even exchanging greetings, Ji Yeonhwa warmly spoke.
“Yes, madam. Could we meet briefly whenever you have time?”
Eunseo wants to meet, so I have to make time even if I don’t have it!
After saying that, Ji Yeonhwa rushed out for the evening.
The promised place was a cafe in Gangnam with a separate private room. Ji Yeonhwa, before even sitting down, grabbed Eunseo’s hands tightly and greeted her warmly.
“Yeah, have you been well?”
No matter how much she was a benefactor to her younger brother, there was still an awkward feeling. Eunseo bit her lip to endure the urge to pull her hand away.
“Thanks to you, I’ve been doing well, madam.”
It took a while for the two to sit at the table.
“Why did you contact me for? If there’s anything I can help with, let me know. I’ll be a support for anything.”
Not wanting to sit together for too long, Eunseo brought up the main topic right away.
“That’s not it. I have something I really want to thank you for, so I wanted to meet and express my gratitude.”
“Oh, what did I do?”
Ji Yeonhwa clapped her hands.
“You saved my brother’s life.”
“Huh?”
Yeonhwa looked puzzled.
“The House of Big Love, do you know?”
“Are you talking about the facility for people with disabilities? In Gapyeong.”
“Yes.”
“Our foundation has been sponsoring it for a long time. But why there all of a sudden?”
“In fact, I lost my younger brother 15 years ago…”
As Eunseo mentioned her tragic past, Yeonhwa’s face gradually showed surprise.
“Wait a minute, then… What was his name?”
Yeonhwa, as if trying to recall something, touched her temple with her finger. In the next moment, she exclaimed.
“Right, Eunho! Is Eunho your brother, Eunseo?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
