God-sent Investment Genius Chapter 49

Episode 49 – The provocative girl (5)

Moon Sang-mi’s cry contained various emotions such as resentment, anger, and regret.

And the malice towards Lee Ji-hyun, revealed in an instant.

“You knew it all. You knew it too!”

The eyes of Vice President Lee Jae-seong and Moo-kyung, who were looking at Moon Sang-mi, began to waver little by little.

It could be said that Lee Ji-hyun was the most embarrassed, but for some reason, he couldn’t face Moon Sang-mi’s eyes and turned his head away.

Shortly afterward, a number of words flowed out of Sangmi Moon’s mouth.

Moon Sang-mi, who had been in love for a long time with a man she met when she was a freshman in college, promised to marry her boyfriend.

Both of them couldn’t get married right away because of their difficult family circumstances, but the belief that they would get married someday remained unchanged.

However, the relationship between the two was not always smooth.

Like most old lovers, the two often fought, broke up, and reunited.

So even then, Moon Sang-mi just thought that boredom had come for a while.

It’s just that I’ve been away for a while,

The love between the two, who had been growing for ten years, ended just like that.

Sang-mi Moon, who graduated from college first, loved her boyfriend enough to support him by paying for his tuition and living expenses.

Even at the moment when I found out that my boyfriend, whom I never doubted would never come back, had a girl, I couldn’t help but agree with his words, pretending that my boyfriend was my cousin, thinking that he might suffer any disadvantages.

He believed that the person standing next to him was a being who lived in a different world anyway, and that one day, when her interest faded, he would come back to him.

However, Sang-mi Moon’s boyfriend resolutely turned around, saying that the relationship was over, and Sang-mi Moon’s plea was left with cold words.

‘Sangmi, that person… is different from you. From head to toe, everything is different from you, who wears loose T-shirts. Do you know what it means to be elegant? That person is just right. If you look at it, even I can afford it. That’s how classy a woman is.’

‘I could have done that if I was born into a family like that. Because of who I am…’

‘Are you going to blame me again? I’m so suffocated, Sangmi. The fact that your life has become such a mess because of me, and the fact that I have to marry you because of that sense of indebtedness are all suffocating. Now let me go… please.’

The ending of the story, like a morning drama, led Moon Sang-mi in a crooked direction.

If the object of her resentment had been her boyfriend, she would not have harbored such strong malice, but her malice was directed at Lee Ji-hyun.

Accepting her boyfriend’s story selectively, she wanted to ruin Lee Ji-hyun’s elegance, loftiness, and dignified appearance.

But in reality, Lee Ji-hyun is the daughter of the nation’s top conglomerate family.

All Moon Sang-mi could do was curse Lee Ji-hyeon.

Jihyeok, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened his mouth slowly.

“Who taught you how to fly flesh?”

Moon Sang-mi felt an unknown sense of intimidation at Ji-hyeok’s calm voice and had no choice but to answer naturally.

“I learned it from a shaman called Baekhwa Fairy.”

In an instant, Jihyeok turned his head to check on Moo-gyeong.

Jihyeok asked Moo-gyeong, who suddenly lowered his head.

“Do you know someone?”

“That…that’s…. He was the one who used to be a child under me. But I didn’t teach him how to fling flesh, it’s true.”

“If you reach out, tell me I’ve been seeing you.”

“I know… I know.”

Jihyeok turned his head and said to Sangmi Moon.

“So, are you satisfied with seeing CEO Lee Ji-hyun? It could have killed a person.”

“Heh…, heh… I don’t know why I was so obsessed with it.”

“Moon Sang-mi, that’s what malice is like. It eats people’s hearts a little. Moreover, malice is like a perfume that invites evil spirits. Do you know how many evil spirits are waiting for you outside that door right now?”

“hehehe… I’m sorry. I didn’t really want to kill you. I just… I just…”

“It’s not difficult to get rid of evil spirits like me. But what I’m worried about is that if I harbor malice towards someone in the future, another evil spirit will stick to me. Can you swear that you won’t?”

Moon Sang-mi looked at Ji-hyeok with regretful eyes and nodded slowly.

Jihyeok said.

“Moo-kyung teacher.”

“yes.”

“Take out the mirror injection.”

“Yes? Yes, I understand.”

Moo-gyeong immediately took out the mirror shot and goehwangji used to wear amulets and brought them in front of Ji-hyeok.

Jihyeok said.

“No matter how magical an amulet is, it cannot win people’s hearts. Today, Sang-mi Moon’s circumstances are pitiful, so I am writing you an amulet, but I am saying that you should not rely on an amulet and train your mind and body. If you lack willpower, it is good to have a religion. Would you like to?”

As Moon Sang-mi watched Ji-hyeok write down the talisman, he felt a halo shine behind him.

The ghosts that tormented him so much disappeared like a lie the moment he entered this room, and Ji-hyeok’s words to scold him seemed to contain irresistible force.

“Yes, I will.”

“Okay, take it. You won’t be able to see ghosts for at least a year. Please visit me at the shrine where I am in about a year. I’ll check if Mr. Moon Sang-mi has reformed.”

Jihyeok left Sangmi nodding her head behind and approached Jihyeon Lee.

Lee Ji-hyun was still unable to erase her astonished expression.

The only difference was that he started to feel a little ashamed of his nakedness, probably because he had burned the medium he had flung his flesh on.

Ji-hyeok read Ji-hyeon’s contempt for Moon Sang-mi in Ji-hyeon’s eyes, and said as if he was bruising at her.

“Are you unhappy? Are you angry?”

“J-You heard what that woman said. She said she cursed me…”

“I’ll ask you one thing. Did you really not know?”

“What, what does that mean? I really didn’t know. I thought it was because they were cousins…”

Jihyeok said with intense eyes.

“I think she hasn’t lost weight yet. It’s not like she could lie… Lee Ji-hyeon, the son-in-law of the Ilsung Group, and the husband-to-be for Lee Ji-hyeon, would have investigated how many rice spoons were in the family. But how can you live while completely forgetting your cousin? Are Lee Ji-hyeon’s father and the Ilsung Group’s Strategy Office such a lax place?”

“That, that’s…”

“I just wanted to pretend I didn’t know.”

Jihyeok turned his head to look at Vice Chairman Lee Jaeseong and continued.

“Isn’t that right? Vice President.”

“·······.”

Jihyun Lee said.

“Oh… brother, did you really know?”

“·······.”

Desperate for an answer, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong turned his head away.

Jihyeok said.

“I didn’t say this to blame the vice president. I’m telling you not to resent Moon Sang-mi too much because you all have your faults.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong shook his head and said in a slightly trembling voice.

“Me and my father just wanted Jihyun to be happy. So…”

“Of course, there must have been a reason for that. By the way…, there must have been this kind of heart. It would be better to have a son-in-law and a brother-in-law who are not special. If you marry into a conglomerate family, you will always be greedy for the group. Yes, only the succession work. Haven’t you ever thought that when it’s over, you can blame the relationship with the woman and divorce her!

In response to Ji-hyeok’s voice growing louder, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong closed his eyes and expressed his regret.

“In the first place, the person who lived a life without much greed is Lee Ji-hyun. It is a story that there was no reason to have such thoughts.”

“I’m sorry, Jihyun. I shouldn’t have allowed you to marry someone like that…”

“Oh, brother…”

While Moo-kyung was admiring Ji-hyeok’s insight, Ji-hyeok pointed at Moo-gyeong.

“Mugyeong-sensei, do you know why I don’t respect you?”

“My, what did I do wrong…”

“You say you’re having a brother-in-law relationship with Chairman Lee?”

“Yes? Yes, it is.”

“When Mr. Lee Ji-hyun said he would get married, Chairman Lee must have asked about compatibility with the owner, but why didn’t he give the right advice?”

“Oh, no. I told you that it is not yet time for Miss Jihyeon to get married. It is true.”

“It should have been stopped. There’s no way Chairman Lee didn’t know of Sang-mi Moon’s existence, but if he knew he would be mad, wouldn’t he have to stop it? He shouldn’t have put up a stone statue like me! You should have stopped it! It should have dried.”

“That, that’s…”

“Even if you didn’t know because of your lack of discernment, wouldn’t you have to take good care of Lee Ji-hyun if you paid a lot of money to tell fortunes?

Jihyeok jumped up and said while glaring at Moo-gyeong.

“That’s why you, Moo-gyeong, are also perpetrators.”

Moo-gyeong’s head was lowered so that it almost touched the table.

Jihyeok continued.

“Mugyeong-sensei. Shamans aren’t the only ones who tell what they want to hear. That’s what swindlers do. Keep in mind.”

Jihyeok slowly walked towards Lee Jihyun.

After burning the doll, Jihyeok handed the remaining pair of earrings to Jihyeon Lee, then took off his jacket and put it over Jihyeon’s shoulder.

Lee Ji-hyun, still embarrassed, said.

“Thank you.”

“Lee Ji-hyun. Now that you’ve loosened up your flesh, your original personality will come back little by little. However, you won’t be able to completely go back to the way you were before. Think of it as a karma for your own faults. It won’t be all that bad.”

“Okay. Thanks, really.”

“Let’s meet in real business next time. Let’s go for today.”

Jihyeok, who was about to turn around, suddenly stopped walking as if he had remembered something.

“Chief Woo, if you open the trunk of my car, there will be two boxes. Please bring some.”

“Yes, Master.”

After a while, Ji-hyeok smiled and said, handing over two small boxes brought by Chief Woo to Lee Ji-hyeon and Moon Sang-mi.

“You two’s faces are very damaged. You will be able to sleep soundly from today, so do it once before going to bed.”

Is it because the heavy atmosphere has loosened up a little?

Lee Ji-hyun opened the box and asked Ji-hyeok.

“Do you carry anything like this?”

“Keuheum… I carried it around just in case you didn’t know. Enough then.”

Jihyeok, who finished the promotion of the new product in detail, left the room with a shy smile.

“Kang Ji-hyuk, wait a minute.”

From noble mtl dot com.

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, who followed Ji-hyeok, urgently called for Ji-hyeok.

“Kang Ji-hyeok and Moon Sang-mi will do as they please. But he…”

“You mean Lee Ji-hyun’s ex-husband?”

Jaeseong Lee shook his head and expressed his affirmation.

“If I told you to leave it, would you do it?”

“That, that’s…”

Jihyeok said.

“If there is anything wrong with that man, it must be that he created this situation by thinking of a relationship easily. But, in a way, you can say that he is the only victim? The two of them broke up anyway.”

“I understand what you mean. Anyway, I will definitely pay this debt. I swear on my name.

Jihyeok smiled again and said.

“Didn’t I say that I’m a friend? And… my younger brother will be able to meet a better mate than me, so don’t try too hard.”

Lee Jae-seong said as he wiped his face with his hand, as if his face was burning.

“Ah… hahahaha, I really can’t stand it.”

*

The next day, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, worried about his younger sister, went to the Baekje Hotel to go to the headquarters.

But somehow Jihyun didn’t go to work even after 10:00 in the morning.

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong tried to call his younger sister, but the moment he gave up his thoughts and was about to go back, Ji-hyun Lee entered the CEO’s office wearing a more relaxed face and a polo shirt that went up to the top of his neck.

Lee Ji-hyun, who had been wearing a neat outfit for the first time in a while, was a little awkward, but her face looked extremely bright.

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong sighed in relief when he saw Lee Ji-hyun, whose face was so bright that his worries were colorless.

“I’m glad you look okay. Jihyun-ah, you know…”

“Pii…, I wonder if I resented you? It’s okay. It was my choice anyway.”

“Because of that guy in the west of Kim…”

“No, it’s my fault for liking a guy like that.”

“Ha… I guess you were really beaten up. Your personality changes like that overnight. You really should be thankful to Mr. Kang Ji-hyeok.”

“So, ah, wait a minute oppa. I’ll change my clothes and come back. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I’ve worn it.”

“Huh? Uh uh, yes.”

After a while, she came back dressed in a V-neck blouse that revealed Lee Ji-hyun’s slender neckline, though not as much as before.

“Doesn’t this seem vulgar?”

“That’s true, but… do you still want to wear revealing clothes? Have you lost weight?”

“No, it’s not like that… oppa, you know me. Did you get a good night’s sleep yesterday?”

“That’s it, Kang Ji-hyeok said he would. Your face has improved a lot.”

“Even if you look at it, is it right? I was honestly a little dumbfounded when I saw Kang Ji-hyeok handing out a mask pack yesterday, right? That’s right, making all the people there criminals and giving them a mask pack, what can I say? The context is a bit strange. “

“Ah… was that box a mask pack? It’s probably a new product from Kang Ji-hyeok’s company.”

Lee Ji-hyun said with a wink in her eyes.

“I heard a pack, eye cream, and other things. Anyway, the person who helped me gave it to me, so I took it home and threw it away, but after washing and looking in the mirror, my face looked so crumbly. It reminded me of the pack I gave you? Did you give it to me knowing this would happen? I want to.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong said with a puzzled expression.

“What about girls? Are you in the mood to pack even if that happens?”

“That’s not what’s important, anyway, so I made that pack…”

“Did you?”

Lee Ji-hyun said with an exaggerated expression and put her hands together.

“Isn’t there a really good one? I’ve tried a lot of custom packs at esthetic shops, but I’ve never seen a pack as good as this one. Even after waking up, it’s still moisturized, and I wear makeup so well. This will probably hit the jackpot when it’s released on the market.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong nodded and said.

“Because he is an extraordinary person, the products he makes are not ordinary things.”

“Brother, is that promise still valid?”

“Huh? What promise?”

“The promise to give me distribution, is it valid?”

“No, that’s… Has he really lost weight? Yesterday, Kang Ji-hyeok said something. Don’t use it unnecessarily. Kang Ji-hyuk, don’t be too greedy. As for distribution, if you really want it. Because I was thinking of giving it anyway.”

Lee Ji-hyun said in a calm voice.

“You want that person because he is so smart and logical, right?”

“Because even your intuition is at a level that ordinary people can’t even imagine. You can only covet it, but you don’t have to try so hard. From now on, you live only thinking about your own happiness.”

“I’m sure. But…, smart, logical, and intuitive, can I ever meet a man who’s so delicate that he even takes care of a mask pack after scolding me?”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong asked with a serious expression.

“Are you serious?”

Lee Ji-hyun let out a laugh and said.

“Poop, I’m kidding. I hate doing business that hurts my head. I have no intention of marrying anyone again, and even if I did, I wouldn’t do business.”

Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong also said with a smile.

“I also asked how much to prepare for a coma.”

“But, I want to find out more about what kind of person he is. I want to help him with his business… So…”
