Younger brother Ju Hyuk was noisily intruding into the house.
Upon seeing him, Hyun Seo momentarily sharpened his gaze but quickly concealed his sharpness and calmly spat out.
“Did you come?”
Ignoring Hyun Seo’s greeting, Ju Hyuk looked around as if looking for Young Suk.
“Mom!”
Ju Hyuk, my younger brother, looking for Mom from the morning? At that sight, Hyun Seo’s heart fell.
What accident did he cause this time?
Whenever Ju Hyuk looked for motherinlaw Young Suk, it was always connected with incidents and accidents. Whatever the incident, Dong Seo Hye Mi always stood still and the aftermath was always Hyun Seo’s responsibility.
A sigh naturally came out. There were more than one or two accidents that he had solved without her husband Do Ha knowing.
Since she had been living holding it in, trying hard not to tell her husband, he doesn’t fully know how much his family members are giving me trials.
“Our son, what’s going on from the morning? What about going to work?”
Young Suk, who was putting on makeup in the room, came out with half of her bright red lipstick applied and greeted Ju Hyuk cheerfully.
“Did brother and father go to work?”
Ju Hyuk, not answering the question about his work, abruptly asked about his brother and father’s departure.
“What time is it now? They’ve already left for work. Why?”
Young Suk was also worried looking at Ju Hyuk’s actions, who had suddenly intruded into the house from the morning.
“Mom, I changed my car.”
“What? You’ve already changed your car?”
Surprised, Young Suk exclaimed.
“It’s a Mercedes. You just need to deposit 200 million. Mom, you make the deposit.”
Young Suk was startled by the casual request for 200 million and her mouth gaped open. The halfapplied bright red lipstick made her face even more grotesque.
“You, it hasn’t been six months since you changed your car. And it was quite an expensive one.”
“That was just a too ordinary domestic car.”
“Is 200 million someone’s pet name? Will it come out just by calling?”
“Mom, your grandson is going to be born, at least a Mercedes should be okay. Do you want to put your grandson in a car that’s less than 100 million? I’ve already contracted, so please make a deposit. By today.”
Upon hearing Ju Hyuk’s words, Young Suk’s heart softened at the fact that her unborn grandson was going to ride in it.
“Oh, you are just……. But you know Mom can’t spend money as she pleases right now.”
“Oh, right…….”
“If only I hadn’t been scammed by that damn daughterinlaw, I could have bought it…….”
The more Young Suk thought about it, the more irritated she became.
In the past, she had been scammed after investing in the Philippines, promising a tenfold return, borrowing loans on the money she had secretly had without Chairman Chae Hyun Woo knowing.
Chairman Chae, who didn’t like Young Suk’s wasteful habits, seized this opportunity to give the Do Ha card to Young Suk and froze all the cards she had.
“Really, it’s so petty of me. It’s not a hundred billion, it’s not a trillion, it’s just a few tens of billions, and if you tie people up like this so they can’t move, what are you supposed to do? Damn it.”
Ju Hyuk, who had accepted that his mother couldn’t afford to buy due to her circumstances, nonchalantly started his next line of attack towards Hyun Seo.
“Well, then it would be okay if brotherinlaw makes the tea money deposit.”
Hyun Seo had been anticipating this development since he heard their earlier conversation. His ominous premonition was not wrong.
It was unbelievable. Changing the car because the child, who hasn’t even been born yet, is a son.
It was outrageous that he was buying a Mercedes, which even his fatherinlaw didn’t drive, saying that it was because our Seo Han was a daughter.
‘If Chairman Chae, who insists on only domestic cars, knew, he would nag a bit.’
His head was spinning as if a typhoon had swept through it. Ju Hyuk, who was shaking his head on his own, looked at the time and stood up.
“You understand, right, brotherinlaw? Please, I’m on my way to work, so I have to go.”
Even as he stepped out of the front door, Ju Hyuk insisted.
“Brotherinlaw! By today! It’s today!”
With his mission accomplished, Ju Hyuk disappeared.
Hyun Seo, who was left dumbfounded, sighed involuntarily. In the end, he silently went upstairs without saying anything.
As the eldest daughterinlaw entered without a positive answer, Young Suk started to boil inside.
She wanted to send money quickly for the car her unborn grandson would ride in, but thanks to Chairman Chae Hyun Woo who only gave her one card, she had to make a regretful sound to Hyun Seo, which was also petty.
She couldn’t even make a payment with a card. As soon as she swiped the card, the usage statement would go to her eldest son, Do Ha’s phone.
Chairman Chae insisted on only domestic cars, so if Ju Hyuk said he was buying a Mercedes, there would be an immediate uproar and the purchase would be cancelled.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
