In the end, Chae Hyun Woo said he would raise the child as his own, but he threw a tantrum and said that if Young Suk wanted to take the son, she had to come with him.
However, it was impossible for his wish to be fulfilled to drive out his legal wife and make her his wife instead.
Instead, Chairman Chae’s family provided Young Suk with a house to live in with the child, and provided child support. Thanks to that, Young Suk was able to live lavishly, spending the money freely.
The money was given under the pretext of raising Do Ha, so she always lived with Do Ha in her house.
In reality, she favored Ju Hyuk, who was born from another man, but due to Young Suk’s awkwardness with childcare, Ju Hyuk spent his early childhood moving between the homes of relatives and his biological father.
However, considering that Do Ha was never sent to another house, it seemed that the source of money was more important than motherly love.
When Do Ha turned twentytwo, CEO Chae Hyun Woo became the Chairman, and not long after, his wife died from illness.
Regrettably, the couple did not have children. Young Suk did not miss this opportunity and dug into it.
Considering Young Suk’s personality, no matter that she gave birth to his biological son, the idea of bringing her into the family was absolutely absurd.
However, when Chairman Chae Hyun Woo met Do Ha for the second time since his infancy, he made a big decision.
Having only seen the newborn that was brought into Young Suk’s arms a long time ago, it was his son that he was meeting again after a very long time.
Chairman Chae Hyun Woo, who had lived without knowing what paternal affection was due to not having children with his deceased wife, found the reunion with Do Ha to be a very fresh experience.
Moreover, he was his grownup son, who greatly resembled him. As he had no successor and was considering leaving the company and inheritance to his nephew in the future, it was an event that could cause great concern.
Furthermore, upon having a conversation, Do Ha, unlike his uneducated mother, was surprisingly polite and, more than anything, astonishingly intelligent.
The son, who was surprisingly intellectual for having grown up under such a mother, was an exceptionally bright child, perfect for teaching work.
In short, he was a thoroughly favored son. Chae Hyun Woo was very pleased with his son, who resembled him in many ways, both externally and internally.
Thus, the boiling hot paternal affection for his unique bloodline eventually led to bringing Young Suk into the house as well.
As Do Ha was already an adult, he could have raised his son in the Chae family, regardless of Young Suk’s will, but he made a tremendous decision to bring in Young Suk as well, considering her, the mother who had raised him alone.
Since a son who the world didn’t know existed suddenly appeared, it was inevitable to avoid the stigma of being an illegitimate child, and considering Do Ha’s position as a successor, it would have been better for his mother to act as the mistress in Chairman Chae’s house.
Although they did not officially register their marriage, so it was not a remarriage on paper, the public couldn’t know such inner circumstances, and Young Suk was in a position where she should be grateful just for enjoying luxury by entering the house, so she accepted it before Chairman Chae changed his mind.
So Do Ha left his longtime hometown. For a while, the whole neighborhood was buzzing because of people saying that he had made a big leap from nothing.
Hye Su sincerely supported his life, saying that it was a great success. Hyun Seo shared his excitement for his good fortune, but also felt an unspeakable emptiness and sadness, thinking about him moving further away.
Do Ha, of course, couldn’t come as before. While attending university, he also had to learn about the company’s work, leading a truly busy life.
Nonetheless, Hyun Seo was thankful that he had not lost contact with him. Whenever she reached out, Do Ha would reply, albeit late.
She felt a sense of loss having to be content with that, but if even that ceased, it would be as if her breath was cut off, so Hyun Seo barely maintained her connection with him.
She was in a position of loving Do Ha, but Do Ha was not. What more could she expect when she was in unrequited love? It was about Do Ha, who had now become a person of another world.
It was hard when she had a crush on the neighbor Do Ha, but how hard would it be to have a crush on Chae Do Ha, who became a true prince? It was no different from being a fan of a celebrity.
When the first holiday came after such a change in Do Ha’s family, Hyun Seo and her mother were able to welcome a welcome guest. It was Do Ha, who visited after several months.
“Brother!”
“Oh, Do Ha! It’s been so long!”
“Have you been well?”
He brought lots of expensive luxury brand items that he couldn’t afford before and gifted them to Hyun Seo and Hye Su.
“This gift is nothing compared to the kindness you showed me. This is for you, Hyun Seo.”
The mother and daughter felt embarrassed, but they awkwardly accepted the gift considering Do Ha’s sincerity.
It was not long after Do Ha and the mother and daughter had a tearfully joyful time after a long time.
Young Suk suddenly visited the house. Young Suk, who had relied on Hye Su’s kindness when living next door and had so well passed on her two sons, had not contacted them once since leaving, and it was unusual for her to visit the old neighborhood.
She appeared even more gaudily dressed than before and said something strange.
“Ms. Jung Hye Su. You don’t have to worry about our Do Ha anymore.”
Young Suk, who until a few months ago had been following Hye Su around, calling her “sister,” suddenly acted strange, changing her form of address and manner of speaking.
What’s more, she said not to worry about Do Ha?
“I think you know what I mean.”
Young Suk then turned her head towards Hyun Seo, who was standing dumbfounded by Hye Su’s side.
“Hyun Seo, you too, stop seeing our Do Ha. Don’t contact him either.”
Hyun Seo, who was still young at twenty, felt like his heart had sunk like never before.
“As you know, our Do Ha has now changed his level, right? He’s not at the level to hang out with people from this neighborhood, you understand that without me saying, right?”
“……”
Hyun Seo was heartbroken, feeling like he understood too well what Young Suk’s words meant and why she was acting like this.
Hye Su also felt like her heart was being torn apart by what was happening all of a sudden. It was painful to be forced to cut off Do Ha, whom she had cherished like a son for 10 years.
“Young Suk…”
“Ah, and Ms. Jung Hye Su. I wish you would be more careful with your address to me now. I’m no longer someone you can just call by my name so casually.”
“……”
At Young Suk’s outrageous attitude, Hyun Seo and Hye Su were left speechless.
“I know that our Do Ha visited here recently.”
In front of the wounded mother and son, Young Suk added more insult to injury.
“I wondered why the busy guy went all the way to the department store to buy things himself, and it turns out it was to give them away here. I thought he was buying a gift for his mother…… Such an undutiful son.”
Young Suk grumbled, her lips puckered as if she was very displeased.
“Anyway, those items don’t suit you guys, so I’ll take them. Give them back to me.”
Young Suk’s cunning nature was something Hye Su had known about for a long time. All the more reason, Hye Su felt sorry for Do Ha growing up under her, and she took even better care of him.
But, no matter how much she considered it, she hadn’t expected it to be this bad.
“If Do Ha comes looking or contacts you, I’d appreciate it if you cut him off first. I mean, you wouldn’t want to show off now just because you let our kids have a few bites at your dining table when they were young, right?”
“……”

She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
