“Whatever happened, Yoo Byeonggyu’s issue has been resolved.”
Minsook’s mouth corners stretched into a long smile. Although getting rid of Seo Jiman would have been the cleanest solution, this was satisfying enough.
“By the way, with Representative Seo’s current situation, our Chairman must be deep in thought.”
In Minsook’s judgment, Seo Jiman’s good fortune had come to an end. However, how long he could endure remained the key factor.
Given the current situation, Chairman Cha would undoubtedly feel awkward about Representative Seo’s daughter, Yun.
“After seeing the National Teacher or whatever, we’ve seen enough. Who dares to talk about our Chairman’s temperament? To such a virtuous person.”
Minsook’s crimson lips sparkled.
‘He wasn’t an ordinary guy, despite his appearance. Well, maybe that fox-like Kang Hyun also fell for him.’
She had thought of him as mild, like Kang Hyun’s mother, Song Kisun, and had underestimated him, only to be defeated by Yun last time.
‘Well, should I stop sending photos now? Did he know about what I sent all this time? But why hasn’t Kang Hyun said anything? Does he have some other trick? Anyway, it’s not ordinary.’
After that, Minsook stopped sending photos and messages. Just thinking about Kang Hyun finding out what she did to Yun made her skin crawl.
‘He’s young, but he responds sharply and cheekily. An insolent brat.’
The more she thought about it, the more she got irritated by being fooled by such a young one.
‘Well, no matter what, how long can Kang Hyun continue to be infatuated with her? Moreover, his in-laws are in such a state. Seo Yoon, you’ll soon be in a precarious situation too.’
Minsook’s red lips twisted.
‘But who is this Kim Jaemin? Why did they release the news about Seo Jiman? Who is behind this?’
Moreover, she had received no recent contact from him.
‘No way.’
Some time ago, she had instructed the former president to investigate behind Yoo Hyun. However, not long after, the former president didn’t receive any contact from her.
Was it because he got caught by Yoo Hyun? But thinking about it, Yoo Hyun wouldn’t have such a thought process. She began to suspect Kang Hyun.
Even though there was no concrete evidence, her suspicions were strong. So she tried to keep a low profile as much as possible. If Kang Hyun caught her, it would be a headache.
But lately, Kim Jaemin also seemed to be caught up in Kang Hyun’s hands. So these days, the usually calm Kang Hyun seemed even scarier to Minsook.
‘Then, is Kang Hyun shaking up Seo Jiman? No way.’
Minsook shook her head.
‘No, can Kang Hyun do that? Anyway, that guy is really a wicked one, like a snake. People need to know his true nature.’
Thinking of Kang Hyun, Minsook sneered.
At that moment, the door opened, and Hyeonseung came out.
“Where are you going?”
“I have some work at the company for a moment.”
“Rest on the weekends. Wait a moment, let me see your mom.”
Minsook stopped Hyeonseung, who was about to leave.
“Why does your face look like this lately? Isn’t your workload too much?”
Seeing up close, Hyeonseung’s dark circles and sunken eyes were not a joke.
“Yes, I have a lot of work.”
“No matter how much work you have, there’s no need to ruin your body like this.”
“I’m in charge of an important project. I just need to rest after it’s finished.”
“When will that project be over?”
“Soon. I have to go quickly.”
Hyeonseung quickly went out to the entrance.
“The kid seems to have lost more weight. Just do it properly, and everything will be fine. Why are you doing something like that? The kid who should lead us is going to look like that soon?”
Recently, the family status of the house that came into view was introduced. It wasn’t to Minsook’s liking, but the cousin sister of that woman was the likely daughter-in-law of the influential Representative Yun Namseok.
‘As long as the personality is not bad, it’s not bad to match with our Hyeonseung.’
Moreover, on the day Representative Yun Namseok becomes president, Hyeonseung’s position at Wusung Construction will become even more solid. Also, Chairman Cha, who has been silently watching Hyeonseung so far, will have a different perspective.
However, Minsook’s precious son, Hyeonseung, was not in a good condition to drive. Due to severe shaking hands, he reluctantly took a taxi.
“Jing!”
[Dash] We’ve arrived now.“I’m on my way.”
[Dash] Can’t wait too long. There are a lot of customers.“I said I’m leaving now. This darn…”
Hyeonseung impatiently ended the call.
Hyeonseung had no choice but to resort to loan sharks as he had no more money. He was in no position to scrutinize anything at the moment.
He had already gone without sleep for three days. Today, he must get some medication.
The investigation into allegations of receiving bribes from GL Food, the in-law family of Jiman’s eldest daughter, Hyeonjin, was progressing slowly but suddenly accelerated.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
