“There are rumors that he returned, but we’re still confirming.”
Kanghyun turned his chair, gazing out the window. As snow began to fall, the procession of vehicles moved slowly, resembling a turtle’s pace.
“Since when have Chae Minsuk and Kim Seo-jeong been close?”
“Probably since last year. Chae Minsuk seems to have approached Kim Seo-jeong through Wooseong Construction’s Director Lee’s wife.”
Without a word in response to Cheol-young’s explanation, Kanghyun continued to look out the window.
‘Hyunseung, your mother is going to this extent for you.’
Kanghyun chuckled. Looking back, Chae Minsuk had always worked hard for her son. Of course, she was hanging herself on something impossible.
‘Then she saw Seo Yujin. That’s why she pushed for the marriage with that crazy woman and my brother.’
Of course, it became a bubble due to his and Yoon’s betrayal. All three sons ended up twisted.
Yuhan got a mental illness, Hyunseung was becoming a recluse, and Kanghyun himself became distorted.
‘It must be so pleasant for you, Chairman. All your children are like this.’
Kanghyun gritted his teeth.
“Tell Yoo Byeong-kyu to approach Kim Seo-jeong again. Keep an eye on them.”
They might have already made contact. Yoo Byeong-kyu would consider Kim Seo-jeong a top-notch prey that he could firmly grasp.
“Yes.”
Kanghyun felt a chill at the thought that Kim Seo-jeong was a much more formidable woman than he had thought. The missing Park Eun-jung, like Yoon, was also an extramarital affair of Seo Ji-man.
The thought that Yoon could end up like that woman sent shivers down his spine.
‘Too dangerous.’
Therefore, they needed to make her pay for her sins as soon as possible.
‘Now that an opportunity has started to arise, should I start shaking things up in earnest?’
Kanghyun’s eyes sparkled.
“Send the information about Seo Yujin’s traffic accident to Kim Jaemin and have an article written.”
“Yes.”
With the public sentiment not favorable towards the Seo family due to the mistreatment of the household driver, adding the blame for the unlicensed accident caused by Seo Yujin to the driver could intensify public anger.
If that happened, investigations into Seo Yujin’s hospital disturbance could also gain momentum.
Furthermore, although it is not certain yet, there are suspicions of Kim Seo-jeong being involved in murder.
“Our Congressman Seo, it will be difficult to escape this time.”
If personal misconduct of Jiman and family issues are also involved, it will be impossible to escape from the abyss like an ant hell. The things done so far will gradually entangle and pull deeper one by one, so Kanghyun turned his chair to look out the window again.
‘It’s snowing heavily now.’
By this time, Yoon would be sitting by the living room window, sipping tea while watching the falling snow.
‘Finish this quickly and go in to enjoy the snow with Yoon.’
The meeting ended early, and Kanghyun left work earlier than usual.
“Kyarru…”
Entering the garden, Kanghyun heard Seokjun’s laughter. Seokjun was sticking eyebrows, a nose, and a mouth on the face of a snowman.
Placing the eyebrows crookedly, Seokjun laughed, holding his belly, finding something amusing.
Kanghyun, finding Seokjun fascinating, approached without taking his eyes off. Seeing Seokjun being so grandiose was almost like seeing him for the first time.
“Mr. Kanghyun, finished early today.”
Seeing Kanghyun, Yoon shook hands with him.
“Why are you outside in this cold?”
Kanghyun frowned, worried that Yoon might catch a cold.
“It’s not that cold today. The snow has let up a bit.”
Earlier, it was snowing quite heavily, but now it was light snowfall.
“Were you making a snowman? Wasn’t it hard?”
Looking at the quite large snowman, Kanghyun asked.
“Seokjun rolled it to make it this big. He’s good at making it round. Isn’t Seokjun amazing?”
Come to think of it, the snowman was bigger than Seokjun.
“Oh, really? Seokjun made it?”
“Yes.”
In response to Kanghyun’s question, Seokjun coolly replied.
“But why does the snowman look so fierce with those eyebrows?”
With eyebrows slanted, it looked distinctly fierce.
“Kuk!”
Seokjun burst into laughter again at Kanghyun’s words. Such a Seokjun was very unfamiliar to Kanghyun. After all, the kid who used to play games in the room now came outside to make a snowman, which was a strange sight.
“Then, how about we have a snowball fight for the first time in a while?”
Kanghyun said, squinting his eyes at Seokjun and suddenly throwing a snowball at him. The thrown snowball hit Seokjun’s chest accurately.
“You attacked even before starting. Kanghyun, that’s so mean.”
Yoon scolded Kanghyun while brushing off Seokjun’s clothes.
“War is always like that. Now, come on. Come at me, Choseokjun.”
Upon that, Kanghyun, being attacked unexpectedly, also started making snowballs with a strong competitive spirit that seemed to say Seokjun couldn’t lose. Yoon also worked hard to make snowballs.
“Attacking 2 to 1. Sure, I’ll take you on as much as you want. Come on!”
Kanghyun, with quick hand movements, threw snow at both of them, and Seokjun, unable to resist, showed a strong competitive spirit, starting to make snowballs.
“Eek.”
When Yoon got hit by the snow thrown by Kanghyun, Seokjun quickly protected Yoon and threw a snowball at Kanghyun.
“Oh, Choseokjun, you know how to have a snowball fight.”
With Seokjun’s impressive words, Yoon nodded and quickly started making snowballs.
And the chairman of the Cha family was watching these three people from the living room window.
“That man who claims to be the CEO of the company…”
Chairman Cha looked at Kanghyun, who seemed distracted while dealing with Seokjun, with his tongue clicking.
“But what’s wrong with our Seokjun?”
Earlier, seeing Seokjun and Yoon rolling their eyes while making a snowman, he rubbed his eyes several times and looked again. Seeing Seokjun rolling his eyes so carefully, Kanghyun rolled his eyes very cautiously.
‘Anyway, it’ll melt away soon.’
Chairman Cha shook his head, looking at the snow scene.
However, Kanghyun couldn’t take his eyes off Seokjun, who was rolling the snow enthusiastically. The sight of his usually expressionless grandson laughing and giggling was both fascinating and heartwarming.
At that moment, Seokjun, while avoiding the snowball thrown by Kanghyun, slipped and tumbled over.
“Oh no, he might get hurt.”
However, Seokjun quickly got up, then darted around the garden like a flying squirrel.
“He might fall again like that. Oh my, this kid is really lucky.”
Chairman Cha’s face was full of laughter.
“Choseokjun, don’t just stand there!”
Chasing after the fleeing Seokjun, who had once again been hit by a snowball thrown by Kanghyun, Kanghyun shouted.
“Hehe…”
While running away, Seokjun, hitting Kanghyun with another snowball, giggled and this time cleverly hid behind the snowman he had made.
Chairman Cha watched this scene with satisfaction.
“This Seokjun, he’s quite agile.”
Then, as Seokjun and Yoon finally surrendered to Kanghyun’s snowball bombardment, Chairman Cha burst into laughter.
“Kids and adults are the same. Haha.”
Chairman Cha stood by the window for a while, watching the three of them jumping around like a whirlwind, and chuckled with contentment.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
