Chairman Cha laughed heartily.
Lately, stories about Yun, his daughter-in-law, were heard wherever he went. People who usually had no interest in him at business meetings started talking to him.
Even though she was considered an ugly duckling, it turned out she was a swan. He planned to take her to a business meeting soon and introduce her.
“Oppa!”
Sunrye looked at Chairman Cha with a resentful look, but Chairman Cha ignored her and spoke to Yun.
“Dear, is the food to your liking? Princess has been preparing it for you since a few days ago, saying she’ll nurture you when you come.”
“Ah, yes. It’s delicious.”
“Good, eat well and recover your strength quickly.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Everyone was surprised at Chairman Cha’s changed attitude toward Yun. Especially Sunrye’s mouth hung open.
“Eat slowly. You don’t have to force yourself to eat. It’s okay if you don’t eat.”
Kanghyun patted Yun’s head and said.
“The two of you look so good together.”
Seeing Kanghyun taking care of Yun, Jaechin, Sunrye’s daughter, sneered.
“It looks nice.”
Sunyoung, Sunrye’s daughter-in-law, smiled happily.
“But still, be careful since it’s a gathering of adults.”
Sunrye was about to say something more, but when her eyes met Kanghyun’s, she discreetly avoided eye contact.
‘By the way, this rascal Kanghyun came into this house, so it’s impossible for Chae Minsuk to take over the bedroom.’
While Sunrye was weighing the pros and cons of Yoo Hyun and Hyunseung, she leaned toward the additional Yoo Hyun. Recently, Yoo Hyun’s health had improved, and he was gradually establishing himself at the company.
‘Well, she hasn’t properly secured her position as a concubine, so how could she possibly try to take over the bedroom?’
‘Well, I haven’t been able to secure the concubine position properly so far, how could I possibly take over the bedroom?’
Eight years ago, when Kanghyun’s birth mother, Song Giseon, passed away, Sunrye wondered if Minsuk was finally going to settle in Hannam-dong.
However, with Kanghyun holding on, there was no chance. Minsuk, known as a fox, couldn’t make a move, especially against Kanghyun.
Moreover, whether feeling guilt for Song Giseon’s tragic death or for some other reason, Chairman Cha also kept his distance from Minsuk for a while.
So, Sunrye thought Chairman Cha was going to cast Minsuk away. However, since he had children, he began visiting Minsuk’s house again.
Minsuk seemed to be getting her hopes up again. However, with Kanghyun completely entering the house, there was no room for Minsuk to come in.
‘I should get rid of these rotten ties.’
Sunrye decided to abandon Minsuk and Hyunseung.
“When your health recovers a bit, plan to start working at our Nuri High School from the new semester next year.”
At Chairman Cha’s sudden words, Sunrye finally thought the time had come. In the end, Chairman Cha had decided to pass on the foundation to his daughter-in-law.
‘How did I end up running a foundation?’
She felt uneasy watching news articles praising Yun for a whole month. It was evident what Chairman Cha, her brother-in-law, would think.
“That might be a bit difficult. Right now, there’s no vacancy at the school. Besides, our school isn’t a place just anyone can enter….”
“If Jea Jin entered, it seems like anyone can.”
Kanghyun responded nonchalantly to Sunrye’s words.
“Oppa!”
Upon hearing this, Jea Jin snapped.
“Why? Am I wrong?”
When Kanghyun stared at Jea Jin, she mumbled something, then avoided his gaze and muttered.
Jea Jin had gone to study abroad in the United States during high school, but due to a major accident there, she was dragged back and had to redo high school. After that, she barely managed to graduate from a local university.
Kanghyun was always skeptical about what she, who had piled up debts rather than studying, could teach students.
According to his investigation, there were considerable problems with teacher recruitment at Nuri High School, leading to a significant decrease in trust in teachers among students.
“Why not create a position?”
“If that child becomes the Korean language teacher, there are enough personnel now.”
Sunrye circled around Chairman Cha’s words. If this happened, they had to delay Yun’s arrival at the school as much as possible. Leaving aside the position of the foundation director, there was a more significant issue.
Several years ago, a teacher recruitment scandal had surfaced, but fortunately, it was overshadowed by another major issue. After that, they should have been more careful, but they boldly took advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, Kanghyun got married this year, and they were nervous in case Chairman Cha found out about the bribery for teacher recruitment.
Fortunately, Chairman Cha seemed to be disapproving of Yun, which gave them some leeway. However, recently, Chairman Cha had gradually started showing interest in the foundation.
‘Maybe my brother-in-law? … No.’
If Chairman Cha found out that she had taken bribes for teacher recruitment, he wouldn’t have left her alone for so long. So, before Chairman Cha found out, she needed time to rectify the mistakes she had made.
“If that child has rested well for about a year, let her learn about the foundation work.”
“What?”
Sunrye’s face wrinkled at Chairman Cha’s words. While Sunrye was looking at her like this, Kanghyun smirked. Seeing the lack of judgment due to greed made him just laugh bitterly.
No matter how much Chairman Cha favored Sunrye, he wouldn’t hand over the foundation. Moreover, he might be turning a blind eye to what she was doing, but he probably knew what wrongdoings she had committed.
‘She should have been a bit more discreet, my dear aunt.’
Even after seeing her for decades, he wondered how she could not know her own brother so well.
“Dear, what do you think?”
Chairman Cha asked Yun in a gentle tone.
Yun cautiously opened her mouth, and Sunrye and Jea Jin anxiously looked at Yun.
“Well, go ahead.”
Chairman Cha nodded.
“I am preparing to take the civil service exam again.”
“Civil service exam? Why?”
Chairman Cha asked with a gentle smile.
“What?”
Yun looked puzzled. Why? Well, that’s obvious.
“Because I haven’t passed yet.”
In response to Yun’s answer, Sunrye and Jea Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
“If you come to our foundation school, you don’t have to go through the trouble of taking the exam.”
“I want to conclude what I’ve been preparing for.”
Yun’s small but firm voice echoed in the restaurant.
Only then did Sunrye’s face brighten.
“Alright, understood.”
Chairman Cha, who had been happily observing Yun’s bright and clear eyes, now turned his gaze towards Sunrye.
Chairman Cha’s face twisted as he watched the corners of Sunrye’s mouth gradually rise.
Her younger sister, who had lost her husband in her younger days and was immersed in grief, had transformed over the years into a creature covered in greed.
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…?
