[Episode 101] Shin Ae-ra’s End and New Beginning

Shin Ae-ra entered the huge mansion and opened the front door with her face blushing.

As I entered the house, the woman who was waiting bowed her head.

“Sheep butler, have you been waiting?”

“I didn’t wait long. Have you eaten by the way, lady?”

“yes. I came to eat. What about your grandfather?”

“The guest has arrived and is in the room.”

Shin Ae-ra tilted her head when she heard that there was a customer at over 9 o’clock.

She entered the living room by passing the Yangjeongwon, who is in charge of all household affairs in this house.

smart.

Although the cleanup of the officetel she lived in was not finished, she decided to live in this mansion from today.

When I came home, I said hello to Shin Won-sun and tried to go up.

“Grandpa, I’m in.”

“Come in.”

When I opened the door to the office and went inside, I saw a familiar face.

The middle-aged man who sat down and had a conversation with Shin Won-sun was quite famous.

“President Su-beom Park?”

“I have heard the news. You said that you were inaugurated as the president of Dong-Eui Kang. Good luck, lady.”

He frequently visited the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and maintained a close relationship with Kang Eung-ryong.

She was a friendly person who often approached Shin Ae-ra.

The person who became a strong helper of Si-woo Lee through his relationship with Eung-ryong Kang.

However, as the relationship between Kang Eung-ryong and Lee Si-woo developed, I thought that the relationship with Park Soo-beom had no choice but to be reestablished.

“How are you here… … ?”

“I came here to say hello to the old man. Now there is no need to act quietly to avoid her gaze.”

“yes?”

“I will greet you again. I am Park Soo-beom, the representative of Bosung Construction, an affiliate of Gangdong Steelworks.”

He got up from his seat and politely bowed his head to Shin Ae-ra.

It was different from the way Shin Ae-ra was comfortable with when she was a civil servant.

There was even a politeness and loyalty.

“… You are the person of Governor Kang Eung-ryong, from the President.”

“From the outside, it may seem that way, but it was to protect the young lady.”

Even though Kang Eung-ryong was a clear politician, Shin Won-sun did not believe him.

So, he needed someone to watch over him and protect Shin Ae-ra’s well-being.

And in order to fulfill the role Shin Won-sun wants, Park Soo-beom has deliberately pretended to be Kang Eung-ryong’s person.

“… You are the chairman. The person who delivered my civil service life to my grandfather as it was.”

“I am sorry for deceiving you. The old man told me to keep it strictly confidential, so I had no choice but to do it.”

Boseong was a seemingly independent company.

But when we dig a little deeper, the story changes.

Shin Won-sun has been behind it since Boseong was founded.

“By the way, what does it mean to be an affiliate of Gangdong?”

“It is literally. Bosung Construction is a company established under the auspices of Chairman Shin Won-sun.”

Politicians and businessmen were deceived and deceived.

Before establishing Boseong, Kang Eung-ryong and Park Soo-beom were not very close.

Unlike him, who had just started working as a businessman, he was different in size from Kang Eung-ryong, who runs a company that has been on track to some extent.

But things changed when he became the governor and Park Soo-beom became the representative of a huge construction company called Boseong.

Kang Eung-ryong became interested in Park Soo-beom’s company little by little as his company grew.

At official events, Park Soo-beom used the name Kang Eung-ryong when asked who he admired the most.

To approach him naturally.

“I didn’t know you had prepared this far, Grandpa.”

Shin Won-sun smiled faintly at Shin Ae-ra, who spoke as if embarrassed.

“Did I not tell you? I am ready to do anything for you. I thought it would be reassuring to have at least one device to protect you. It was just that CEO Park caught my eye.”

“I was going to give this to you, but it won’t be an important resource for my grandfather.”

Shin-ae, who was so drunk, took out a USB stick from her bag.

It was a document containing Kang Eung-ryong’s corruption.

“Can I ask what this is?”

“These are documents containing the corruption of Governor Kang Eung-ryong. I was going to tell you to use it to protect my grandfather, but I was worried about nothing.”

Shin Won-sun picked up the small USB with wrinkled hands.

“If this corruption breaks out, Boseong Construction will also suffer a lot of damage.”

Among the companies that provided election funds to Kang Eung-ryong, Boseong Construction was included.

Since it was revealed that Park Soo-beom was a person of Shin Won-sun, it was impossible to release this corruption data.

“CEO Park, do you agree with Ae-ra?”

“It doesn’t matter if it explodes, old man.”

“It is unlikely that Boseong Construction will suffer a lot of damage.”

“It doesn’t matter. I just sponsored the election to Governor Kang Eung-ryong through a legitimate channel.”

“Isn’t it illegal money?”

“Boseong Construction was built with the funds contributed by the elderly. No matter how small the amount, I cannot hand over illegal funds to anyone at will.”

He didn’t just give Eung-ryong Kang election funds.

It had already been paid for the purpose of sponsorship on paper.

It has kept the amount of donations stipulated by the law to the extent that it is not subject to bribery.

“Did you know that you are in charge of the Pyeongtaek redevelopment project? If this happens, Boseong will also suffer huge losses… … .”

“I am sorry to interrupt you, but the redevelopment of Pyeongtaek will not proceed.”

“yes?”

The reason Kang Eung-ryong started the Pyeongtaek redevelopment project from the beginning was not because of his promise.

The outward reason was the reason for correcting house prices through the construction of a new city.

Another reason was the revival of Gyeonggi-do.

It was a new city construction with good intentions, but if you look inside it, a different level of corruption was involved.

Before entering politics, Kang Eung-ryong was a businessman.

Of course, there was also a company in his name.

As soon as Kang Eung-ryong became a politician, he liquidated the company.

However, the CEO of the company he sold was still his son, Kang Jun.

How can Kang-jun be in charge of the company even after the company has been liquidated?

That was thanks to discussions with Haeun Group, which took over Kang Eung-ryong’s company.

“Haeun Group has poured a huge amount of money into new town development. The land was purchased and the affiliates of the Haeun group were notified in advance that the construction of the new city would proceed. Even before the new town development was finalized, the Haeun Group bought the land in Pyeongtaek by any means possible.”

“… Does this mean that even before Governor Kang Eung-ryong entered the political arena, he joined hands with the Ha-eun group?”

“This is what voters who support Kang Eung-ryong say. He is the most honest politician ever. Unlike other politicians, he is a human person who takes care of the people’s livelihood.”

But it wasn’t.

He has lived for decades as a business man who pretends to deceive people on the outside.

His nature hidden behind a mask was ugly.

Shin Ae-ra just couldn’t see through his true face.

“That image was not true.”

“The Ha-eun group will probably be hit hard by this incident. Even if Boseong Construction flies together, it is an advantage for the elderly, lady.”

Shin Ae-ra, who heard Park Soo-beom’s explanation, asked Shin Won-sun with an excited expression.

“… When did you start preparing?”

“I have been investigating since you were with Kang Eung-ryong. I need to figure out if I have the capacity to take responsibility for my granddaughter.”

When Lee Kang-yeon contacted her and brought Shin Ae-ra, Shin Won-sun had the biggest regret of her life.

secretly shed tears

Shin Dong-hwan’s death was a huge shock to the extent that he collapsed even though he was strong.

“CEO Park, let’s proceed as planned. And today, I want to be with Ae-ra.”

“All right. Then I’ll just go.”

When Park Soo-beom left, Shin Won-sun felt a burning sensation in his throat and took a sip of water.

Where should I start talking?

How should I heal Shin Ae-ra’s wounds?

“I’m sorry, Aera.”

“What?”

“Just everything.”

He inflicted a lot of pain on Shin Ae-ra to the extent that it is impossible to list them all.

Seeing his son who did not listen to him for the first time, Shin Won-sun thought that he had to go strong.

When Nagara saw her son packing up and leaving without any regrets at his words, he even felt a great sense of betrayal.

So I didn’t catch Shin Dong-hwan.

He did not even recognize Lee Kang-yeon as his daughter-in-law.

“Did you know the first time you said you were sorry?”

I should have said this when I brought Shin Ae-ra.

But what about his pride?

Thinking about it now, it was really stupid.

“Forgive this old man for saying what he should have said right now.”

“… I was resentful at first. And even now, I resent my grandfather.”

“Don’t make excuses. It’s my fault.”

When Insu-in married her fiancée, it was something she should have given up cleanly.

I should have recognized Lee Kang-yeon and brought Shin Dong-hwan.

However, Shin Woo Na-sun did not break his stubbornness like a person possessed by something.

“What was the last thing your mother said to your grandfather?”

Shin Ae-ra could not protect Lee Kang-yeon’s death.

Instead, Shin Won-sun watched her death.

“He said he was sorry to me. I blamed myself for taking Donghwan from me. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have suffered.”

“… … .”

“And since you can hate yourself, he told me not to hate you as much as Ae-ra. She is a daughter who has always struggled because of her poor household, and I want her to live confidently without being swayed by other people from now on.”

Shin Ae-ra, who heard Lee Kang-yeon’s last words to Shin Won-sun, bit her lip strongly.

Lastly, I sent out Shin Ae-ra to have something to say to Shin Won-sun.

And with those words, Kang-yeon Lee passed away.

A young Shin Ae-ra, who was waiting outside without noticing her dying breath, was the first time she heard Shin Won-sun’s sobbing.

The image of him stomping on his chest and howling like an animal was still vivid.

“As my daughter-in-law said, I wanted to live as happy as you. Although you are an unqualified grandfather, I wanted to make you the happiest child ever. But you left this house as soon as you became an adult.”

“Because it was frustrating.”

Shin Ae-ra said in a crying voice.

This place was so exhausting it was suffocating.

This house felt like a prison to her.

It felt like everyone in the house was watching him move.

“It must also be my fault. I just wanted you not to get hurt. I attached people to you because I wanted to save you. But I never thought that my actions would hurt you again.”

“I thought this kind of life didn’t suit me. I wanted to be free.”

“I promised never to hurt you again, but I made the same mistake again. It was only when you left this house that I realized it.”

Life being watched by someone is not very good.

He also had a strong resentment against Shin Won-sun, but he wanted to quickly become an adult and get out of this prison.

Shin Ae-ra had to be cared for by Shin Won-sun.

But he couldn’t do it, he just forced what he wanted.

And it was only after Shin Ae-ra left that she realized that she had made the same mistake again.

“There is nothing Grandpa could do for you.”

“Now, we can just release them one by one. Don’t rush, take it slow.”

“okay. let’s do that Thank you for coming to my ugly grandfather. I will never hurt you again.”

“As long as I am granddaughter of my grandfather, I have no choice but to get hurt. But if we can talk to each other and understand each other, we can have a much better relationship than before.”

Shin Ae-ra wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and smiled brightly.

“Do your best.”

“Just stay by my side. Please even watch me get married and have a happy family, Grandpa.”

“okay. Never leave your side irresponsibly. And Ae-Ra, I am not going to leave a guy named Kang-Jun alone.”

When the name Kang-jun appeared, Shin Ae-ra’s expression hardened.

Shin Won-sun clenched his fists with flaming eyes.

“Didn’t I say I didn’t know anything about you? Don’t try to hide it.”

“grandfather… … .”

“It was one of the reasons I put the breath of a madman who dared to take drugs and rape my granddaughter.”

I didn’t want to break up with Shin Ae-ra anymore.

I couldn’t hurt Shin Ae-ra, who follows Kang Eung-ryong like her father.

But now that the relationship with Kang Eung-ryong has been cut off, I didn’t want to see Kang-jun living in a fuss.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m really lucky… No, I even thought that Kang Hwan and Dong Hwan saved you.”

It was a god of heaven.

If Shin Ae-ra had even been raped by Kang-jun that day, it was clear that she would not have had a chance to escape from Kang Eung-ryong.

Fortunately, she overcame the crisis with a nib.

When he found out about this only later, Shin Won-sun was grateful to Lee Kang-yeon and Shin Dong-hwan, who passed away in heaven.

“Now watch. What kind of punishment this grandfather will give to those who harmed you.”
