“Hey, where are you going? Who is it? I’ll come too!”
At the end of Young Suk’s gaze, Ji was trotting towards the people coming out of the pavilion.
A sophisticatedly dressed, older woman was coming out of the clinic, with what seemed like an assistant following her.
‘Who is that? It seems familiar, but not a celebrity.’
As Young Suk opened her eyes wide and followed Ji, she was able to recognize who it was.
‘Oh my, that’s Kang Ok Hee, the wife of the chairman of the Samjung Group, isn’t it?’
Soon, Ji was seen bowing in greeting to Kang Ok Hee.
“Hello. Nice to meet you.”
Young Suk, who was approaching from behind, held back a smirk.
‘What’s this, Ji? You say you’re meeting her for the first time? You claimed to be close enough to have tea with Kang Ok Hee. That was a blatant lie.’
Sure enough, Madam Kang asked Ji as if she didn’t know her at all.
“Who?”
“I’m Ji. I recognized you and wanted to greet you, so I ran over. My husband runs a company called Yeongwoo Trading.”
Kang Ok Hee recalled a conversation with Hyun Seo. He was a member of that tough center.
Madam Kang feigned ignorance and asked,
“Where? Whose affiliate is it?”
“We’re Yeongwoo, not an affiliate but a small trading company.”
“Yeongwoo? What kind of holeinthewall store are you running?”
Ji faltered for a moment but couldn’t help but keep smiling and answered sincerely.
“Haha, we’re doing this and that, but we’re expanding a bit more this year.”
“Oh my, hello! I’m glad to meet you!”
Just then, Young Suk, who had quickly approached, interrupted the conversation between the two. Ji quickly introduced her with tact.
“Ah, this is Mrs. Han Young Suk, the wife of Chairman Chae Hyun Woo of Jinsung.”
Upon hearing that, Kang Ok Hee widened her eyes and looked at Young Suk.
‘Jinsung’s Han Young Suk? Isn’t that Hyun Seo’s exmotherinlaw? That crazy woman……’
Madam Kang Ok Hee shot a sharp glance at Young Suk and then naturally opened her mouth.
“Ah, Jinsung? I know Jinsung.”
Young Suk, seeing that Madam Kang Ok Hee seemed not to know about Yeongwoo, but as expected knew about Jinsung, became triumphant and squared her shoulders.
“Ho ho, it’s an honor that you recognize me.”
“I’ve heard a lot about Jinsung. I’ve heard a lot about the wife of the chairman there, so it was you.”
Young Suk wondered if Madam Kang knew about the rumors that she was known for her beauty among her acquaintances. Feeling proud that Madam Kang recognized her, she smiled brightly and nodded.
“Yes, I’m Han Young Suk.”
“The wicked woman who moved in after Chairman Chae’s exwife died…… Ahaha. Anyway, you’re famous for a variety of reasons, nice to meet you.”
However, Madam Kang seemed to have deliberately let those words slip as if she wanted them to be heard.
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors. They weren’t very good though.”
Young Suk’s smile began to fade.
‘What? Who is this old hag badmouthing?’
Swear words sprang up inside Young Suk. However, because Ji had said that this old lady was the last boss of this Songhwa Palace, she had to hold back and forced a smile.
“They’re all false rumors. I’ve been wronged a lot, but I have to bear it.”
Young Suk had nothing to do but make excuses.
“But you two, do you know who I am and greet me?”
Madam Kang suddenly asked the women in front of her.
“Of course. If you don’t know Madam Kang of Samjung, you’re a spy in the political world.”
Quick to catch on, Ji Han took the initiative and responded. Young Suk also entered into the conversation, as if not to be outdone.
“I’ve always considered Madam Kang Ok Hee as a mentor, so it’s truly an honor to meet you like this.”
“Is that so? What aspect of me do you think of as a mentor?”
Madam Kang chuckled at Young Suk’s flattery, but calmly asked her question.
“I was impressed when I watched your interview before. Your values and fashion have left an impression on me, and I’ve been greatly influenced!”
“Is that so? Hmm, but why is your fashion like this right now?”
“Pardon?”
Young Suk looked down at her own outfit in confusion.
“It’s completely different from my style. Hmm…… did you interpret my fashion in this way?”
Madam Kang looked at Young Suk’s dazzling fashion with dissatisfaction.
“Ahaha, it seems I still have a lot to learn.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll properly teach you about fashion sometime. I don’t have time now, but later. Well, this is also a kind of destiny, let’s exchange contacts.”
Young Suk’s face, which had been flustered, quickly brightened up.
“Oh my, we are so grateful!”
Young Suk, who thought she had struck it rich, gave a sweet smile and flattery to Madam Kang.
‘Wow, I’ve hit the jackpot! I should get close to this old lady. Then joining here won’t be a problem, right?’
While receiving Madam Kang’s phone and exchanging contacts, Young Suk and Ji Han continuously bowed their heads as if they were embarrassed.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you.”
After Madam Kang left, Young Suk’s mouth opened wide and she couldn’t close it.
The past of her struggling days, wandering around back alleys, suddenly came to mind.
