He had received information a while ago through Chairman Ju that Cha Soon Rye, Chairman Cha’s younger sister and their aunt, who is a director at Woo Sung Educational Foundation, was having frequent meetings with Cha Min Sook.
Cha Min Sook had been trying to make covert contacts with the directors of Woo Sung, persuading a few of them, and at the same time trying to draw Soon Rye to her side.
“Do you still have someone tailing them?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Didn’t they even install a listening device in your office? Brother, they will do anything to take away what is yours.”
“Hyun Seung isn’t that bad of a kid.”
Still, as his younger brother, Yu Hyun always defended Hyun Seung.
‘You only see the good things, brother. I will take care of the dirty trash.’
Hyun Seung was embezzling funds by manipulating the books in collusion with the planning office staff. The amount wasn’t significant yet, so Kang Hyun was waiting for the right moment.
Hyun Seung, who hadn’t been in the company for long but was already unabashedly stealing, would bring a dismal future for Woo Sung if he were to take over the company.
Knock, knock!
It was Mi Young.
“Then, you two have a chat.”
“Sit down for a moment.”
As Mi Young was about to leave after setting down the tea, Kang Hyun stopped her.
“I also want a coffee.”
Yu Hyun complained to Mi Young. Both of them had such kind eyes that they sometimes looked like siblings because of the resemblance.
“You’ve already had two cups this morning.”
Mi Young had limited Yu Hyun’s daily coffee intake to two cups as a special measure because, although his insomnia had improved, he still had sleepless nights.
“I think I only had one cup.”
Yu Hyun, feeling regretful, picked up his teacup.
“You definitely had two.”
Mi Young said with a bit of firmness.
“Yes, I understand.”
Yu Hyun readily conceded. At the sight of the two of them looking like a loving couple, a faint smile appeared on Kang Hyun’s face.
“You two should get married now.”
Kang Hyun, who was happily watching the two, opened his mouth. However, at Kang Hyun’s words, the expressions of Yu Hyun and Mi Young suddenly darkened.
Chairman Cha, who considered marriage as business, didn’t accept Assistant Manager Lim. It reminded him of the recent confrontation with Chairman Cha.
‘If you mess with Assistant Manager Lim, you won’t be left alone.’
‘What will such a little guy do if he’s not left alone?’
Chairman Cha sneered.
‘I’m not a common guy with a bad temper just like you, aren’t I? So, even if you’re curious, hold back.’
If Chairman Cha shook Yu Hyun one more time, even if he was his father, he couldn’t forgive him.
“Introducing Kwak Chul Young, who is Kang Hyun’s manager.”
Yoon introduced Chul Young to Ok Soon. Since Chul Young insisted on accompanying her home while carrying a rice cooker, wondering how she would manage on the subway, they ended up coming together.
“Oh my, you work with our soninlaw. I’m Yoon’s grandmother. I’m sorry about the shabby house. Please, have a seat.”
Ok Soon quickly entered the kitchen. Yoon followed Ok Soon.
“That gentleman will judge our house.”
Ok Soon peered at Chul Young, who was in the living room, and whispered to Yoon.
“What’s wrong with our house? And he’s not that kind of person.”
Yoon whispered back into Ok Soon’s ear.
“Sigh, I don’t know. But why did you buy a rice cooker? We could have repaired it.”
“I checked it. The repair cost seemed as much as a new one.”
“Really?”
Ok Soon’s eyes widened at Yoon’s words. She was someone who absolutely trusted what Yoon said.
“Then buying a new one is beneficial. But, what do we serve him when there’s nothing at home?”
Ok Soon looked at Chul Young sitting upright in the living room and opened and closed the refrigerator door.
“He had lunch already, so tea will be enough. I’ll make some coffee.”
Yoon quickly made coffee to replace the restless Ok Soon. Only then did Ok Soon hastily take out and start washing tomatoes.
“I’m sorry that there’s nothing suitable to offer you.”
Feeling apologetic, Ok Soon presented coffee and fruit to Chul Young.
“No, it’s okay. I was going to wait in the car, but madam insisted that I have a cup of tea.”
Feeling embarrassed, Chul Young accepted the cup. However, upon hearing Chul Young’s words, Ok Soon’s mouth hung open in surprise.
“Madam? Ah, so our Yoon is the madam. Ho ho ho.”
Ok Soon burst into hearty laughter, and seeing her, Chul Young and Yoon also joined in.
“But how did you manage to look so reliable and innocent?”
“Innocent, you say?”
At Ok Soon’s words, Chul Young wondered if he had misheard.
He was a retired professional fighter, Chul Young, who, for the first time since his hair grew out, had heard that he looked ‘innocent’, after often hearing that he had a fierce appearance.
After a long conversation, Chul Young said he had work to do, dropped Yoon off at the apartment, and headed to the office.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
