Seung-ae swallowed hard in front of Hyun-young, whom she had met for the first time in five years.
She felt more intimidating than she had five years ago.
Nervously, she trembled one of her legs.
Meanwhile, Hyun-young thought that Seung-ae, having come after five years, must have still been unable to find Seo-ha.
And guessed that Seung-ae’s appearance now, coinciding with Tae-kyung meeting Seo-ha, must be related to Tae-kyung.
Hyun-young stared blankly at Seung-ae.
Seung-ae felt a chill, as if Hyun-young’s gaze was piercing through her.
But she couldn’t back down here. She had to use this opportunity to get money by any means.
“It’s been a long time.”
“Ho-ho. Indeed. Have you been well, my in-law?”
Seung-ae’s words made Hyun-young pause as she was lifting her teacup, then she continued.
“Where do you see an in-law here?”
“Ho-ho, what resentful words. Our Han Seo-bang’s child has grown so much.”
“Han Seo-bang?”
Hyun-young’s eyebrows didn’t even twitch.
Seung-ae felt that Hyun-young already knew her dark intentions. But the more she felt this, the more shamelessly she thought she had to act.
‘I’ve even had a child, what am I going to do? I can’t do anything about the child I’ve had.’
Thinking of the child, confidence surged in Seung-ae’s heart.
“Our grandchild looks so handsome, resembling Han Seo-bang. I’m sure the master’s wife would want to see.”
“…….”
Seeing Hyun-young silent, Seung-ae became anxious again.
She mustn’t lower the negotiation amount, like she did last time.
Seung-ae tightly gripped the hem of her faux fur coat.
“You know these days it costs a lot to raise a child? Our grandchild being of the HY Group lineage, can you imagine him attending a normal kindergarten? What was it, an English kindergarten? He needs to attend such places.”
“Hmm…….”
As Hyun-young showed no reaction, Seung-ae began to gnaw on her lower lip.
“Oh, why not invest a little in your only grandchild? I hear Han Seo-bang still doesn’t have children, and if it’s over five years of marriage without a child, it becomes hard to have one. You know.”
“…….”
Hyun-young just quietly listened to Seung-ae’s talk. Seung-ae began to feel impatient as things weren’t going her way.
Her frustration growing, Seung-ae’s frown deepened.
“And now I hear rumors that Han Seo-bang is engaged to the daughter of Congressman Jin Cheol-wook, what nonsense is this, leaving our Seo-ha behind? I was so hurt, really.”
“…….”
“I was going to see Congressman Jin Cheol-wook for the sake of our daughter and grandchild but came to you first. Wouldn’t want you and Han Seo-bang to be embarrassed. Congressman Jin is running for president, you wouldn’t abandon our Seo-ha, would you?”
“So, your conclusion?”
Finally, Hyun-young spoke, and Seung-ae’s face lit up instantly.
‘Well, of course. No matter how proudly I act.’
With a despicable smile, Seung-ae made her demand.
“Ho-ho, I’ve already told you, Young, you didn’t understand. I’m asking you to invest in our grandchild’s upbringing. These days, it costs hundreds of millions to raise a child, you’re not planning to settle with just a hundred million like last time, are you?”
“For education?”
“At least until the child becomes an adult, you should provide for his upbringing. He’s 5 now, so until he’s 20, about 2 billion a year, around 30 billion in total? I’m being very generous. Considering inflation, this is the bare minimum.”
Hyun-young was again silent. Seung-ae took a loud sip of her tea. Seung-ae began to ramble again by herself.
“Oh my, five years ago, I hadn’t raised a child myself, so I thought it wouldn’t cost much for a child. But raising one turned out to be a whole different story. Ho ho ho. Oh dear, Chairman, perhaps you don’t know because you haven’t raised a grandchild?”
Seung-ae waved her hands and laughed.
Hyun-young put down her teacup and looked straight at Seung-ae.
“Gulp, hiccup!”
Seung-ae hiccupped, overwhelmed by Hyun-young’s ominous aura.
Hyun-young slowly closed her eyes and then opened them, speaking.
“Look at this. Go ahead, babble whatever you want. Ask Tae-kyung for the child support, not me. Now, leave.”
Hyun-young, unlike before, did not even stand up. Soon, the sound of knocking was heard, and security officers, not secretaries, entered the chairman’s office.
Two security officers in black suits surrounded Seung-ae on both sides, glaring fiercely. Seung-ae was taken aback.
“Ah, no! What are you doing to me? Oh, really, Chairman Park, you’re making a mistake. I won’t let this go.”
The security officers grabbed Seung-ae’s arms, making noise, and dragged her out.
Hyun-young glared fiercely at the spot where Seung-ae had left.
She then rubbed her temples and closed her eyes.
She called Tae-kyung. After a few rings, Tae-kyung picked up, about to say something, but Hyun-young spoke first.
What……
“Come here right now. I won’t say it twice. If you care about Seo-ha, it would be wise to come.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
