Lady Kim Is Too Weak to Fend for Herself
Episode 1
At the Jeon family's villa.
Ha-rin put her identity card and household register into her backpack. Finally, she glanced at the empty attic before turning to leave.
Yoo Minseo
Sister, must you register your marriage with Brother Seojun?
Minseo stood at the door, her delicate face full of sorrow. She pulled Ha-rin's arm and begged softly
Ha-rin instinctively stopped walking
She was only marrying Kim Seojun for the sake of fulfilling Grandfather's wish. As for whether she would be happy or not, Ha-rin had never considered it.
Before she could say anything, she heard Minseo scream in shock. Her frail body slammed against the metal gate with a bang. She reflexively held her stomach and looked up in disbelief
Yoo Minseo
Sister, why did you... I know you're jealous of my relationship with Brother Seojun, but you're about to marry him. I won't go near Brother Seojun anymore.
Yoo Minseo
What I said just now was to remind you that the Kim family isn't that easy to enter. You didn't need to get angry and attack me...
A distance away, Seojun ran over. After helping Minseo up with heartache in his eyes, he slapped Ha-rin without asking any questions
Kim Seojun
B*tch, you actually dared to push Minseo?! Who gave you the guts?!
His slap was too forceful and five red finger marks instantly appeared on Ha-rin's fair cheeks.
The sharp pain penetrated her mind and awakened Ha-rin's senses that had yet to recover.
Yoo Ha-rin
I didn't push her
No one listened to Ha-rin's explanation. Mr. Yoo, who came out as well, knew that Ha-rin wanted to get a marriage certificate with Kim Seojun. He barked out
Yoo Jihoon
What marriage certificate? Seojun and Minseo are childhood sweethearts and they share a good relationship with each other.
Yoo Jihoon
As the elder sister, what reason do you have to snatch your younger sister's boyfriend? Moreover, the Kim family has high requirements.
Yoo Jihoon
You, a country bumpkin, will only bring shame to our Yoo family if you marry into their family. We've already decided that Minseo will take your place in marrying into the Kim family.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and gestured for the servants to bring Ha-rin into the villa so that she would not continue embarrassing herself at the entrance any longer
Yoo Ha-rin
You're letting her take my place?
Ha-rin took a step back to avoid the servants' outstretched hands and her gaze landed on Mr. Yoo, Minseo, and Seojun. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised
Yoo Ha-rin
So all of you had planned this out since a long time ago and had an ulterior motive while I was kept in the dark? In the end, I was played by all of you?
Mr. Yoo was dissatisfied with her attitude
Yoo Jihoon
What are you talking about? Minseo was raised and educated by the family since she was young. She has a noble character and an elegant temperament. She's known as a genius young lady in Seoul.
Yoo Jihoon
How can a country bumpkin like you compare to her? We brought you back from the remote countryside to let you enjoy a life of luxury that you otherwise would never have been able to enjoy. What else are you not satisfied with?
Yoo Ha-rin
Didn't you bring me back because of the shares in Grandpa's hands?
Grandpa said that after she got married, she would have 65% of Yoo Corporation's shares and become the largest shareholder of Yoo Corporation.
Yoo Ha-rin
Let me guess. Not only do you not want me to marry Kim Seojun but you also want me to never marry anyone in my life. That way, I'll forever be under your control, right?
Mr. Yoo's expression changed slightly. Seojun lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought. He thought that getting 65% of Yoo Corporation's shares by marrying Ha-rin was just a rumor...
Minseo had been staring at Seojun's expression. When she saw that he was deep in thought, her heart tightened. Suddenly, she cried out in surprise and held her stomach
Yoo Minseo
It hurts, my stomach hurts...
A pool of blood slowly spread from her lower body. Minseo panicked when she saw the blood. She grabbed Seojun's shirt and begged,
Yoo Minseo
Brother Seojun, save me, save our child...
When the word 'child' sounded, everyone was stunned! Minseo said in a sobbing tone,
Yoo Minseo
I'm sorry, Brother Seojun, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but my sister wanted to marry you. I didn't want to hurt my sister.
Yoo Minseo
I just wanted to give birth to the child alone. At the very least, the child could be a token to remember our years of relationship.
Hearing Minseo's words, Seojun's heart ached even more. He bent down and pulled Minseo into his arms
Kim Seojun
Why are you so silly? Our relationship has lasted for so many years and can't be destroyed by some marriage contract.
Kim Seojun
Besides, even though you treat a certain someone as your sister, she has never done the same!
Seojun's sharp gaze landed on Ha-rin as he threatened her sinisterly
Kim Seojun
You'd better hope that the child in Minseo's stomach is fine. Otherwise, I'll make you regret coming into this world.
This farce ended so abruptly. After he carried Minseo and left, Mr. Yoo came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after her.
The sun was scorching in the sky.. Ha-rin stood at the entrance and pondered for a while before leaving
Episode 2
Ha-rin leaned against a large tree at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau and surveyed the people entering and exiting with narrowed eyes. She needed to pick a marriage partner among these people.
Mr. Yoo's wishful thinking was to snatch the Yoo Corporation's shares through her marriage. How could she let him have her wish?
Not far away, Kim Ui-hyeon was leaning against the front of the car, looking at his wrist from time to time. Even though there was no expression on his handsome face, one could still sense that he was extremely unhappy. The driver kept wiping his sweat
Kim Ui-hyeon
I've been waiting for 20 minutes
Ui-hyeon lowered his head and adjusted his watch. His tone was calm and emotionless when he said
Kim Ui-hyeon
Tell the Han family not to look for her anymore. We'll cancel the marriage
He did not have a hobby of forcing people. Since Miss Han did not want to marry him, he would not marry her. The chauffeur hesitated.
Driver
But the old chairman...
The old chairman was looking forward to getting Ui-hyeon married as soon as possible.
They thought that the marriage was set in stone, but Miss Han still managed to escape in the end.
Yoo Ha-rin
Hello, I'm sorry for interrupting. Did your arranged marriage partner run away?
Ha-rin had observed them for a long time before deciding to go up and test them out. She smiled lightly at Taehyung
Yoo Ha-rin
It just so happens that my fiancé has escaped as well. Since we've both been left behind, should we get married?
Ui-hyeon raised his head upon hearing that
The woman in front of him was carrying a canvas bag. Her legs were straight and slender under her wide sweater. Her long black hair was casually tied up behind her head. Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was fair. She was eye-catching
Ui-hyeon raised his hand to stop the chauffeur who was about to speak. He said playfully
Kim Ui-hyeon
I don't even know you. Why should I marry you?
Ha-rin touched the tip of her nose
Yoo Ha-rin
If you marry me, you can get 65% of Yoo Corporation's shares. Is this reason enough?
Ui-hyeon raised an eyebrow. Ha-rin pointed at the chauffeur at the side and said
Yoo Ha-rin
I just heard the conversation between you and him. I know that you're being forced to marry by your family.
Yoo Ha-rin
As long as you marry me, not only will you be able to give your family what they want but you'll also be able to obtain 65% of Yoo Corporation's shares. It's like killing two birds with one stone
Perhaps she was afraid that Ui-hyeon would not believe her, so Ha-rin opened the share transfer document and showed it to him.
Kim Ui-hyeon
Yoo Corporation's...
A name appeared in Ui-hyeon's mind
Kim Ui-hyeon
You're Yoo Ha-rin?
Ui-hyeon shook his head. He did not know Ha-rin, but he could not stop the people around him from gossiping. They said that the eldest omega daughter of the Yoo family who was brought back from the countryside was weak and sick.
Her survival relied on medications. They also said that she would take advantage of her status as the eldest daughter to boss around ten servants. She was said to be brainless and vulgar
However, from the looks of it, the rumors could not be trusted.
Actually, before Ui-hyeon appeared, Ha-rin had also tried to approach a few people but they all treated her as a lunatic after listening to her. There was even one who wanted to call the police, saying that she was a scammer.
Perhaps because she was used to being rejected, so after waiting for a moment and not getting a response, she intended to look for someone else. However, before she could even lift her foot, her arm was grabbed.
Kim Ui-hyeon
Where are you going?
Yoo Ha-rin
Since you don't agree, I'll go look for someone else
Kim Ui-hyeon
There's no need to look for anyone else. I agree
Ignoring his chauffeur's shocked expression, Ui-hyeon walked toward the Civil Affairs Bureau
Kim Ui-hyeon
Did you bring your identity card and household register?
Ha-rin reacted and took the initiative to follow behind Ui-hyeon
She paused for a moment before adding
Yoo Ha-rin
Thank you. Don't worry. After we get the certificate, I'll transfer the shares to you. I won't let you suffer
Ui-hyeon smiled but said nothing. 20 minutes later, Ha-rin and Ui-hyeon came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a red booklet in their hands.
The chauffeur's expression completely collapsed.
Kim Ui-hyeon
Where are you going? I'll get the chauffeur to send you there.
Ui-hyeon tilted his head and looked at Ha-rin, who had been playing with her phone with her head lowered. Ha-rin did not even raise her head
She had originally planned to go to Seojun's house after registering her marriage with him today, so she had already packed all her belongings in the Yoo family's villa.
Although she had changed her marriage candidate, her plans had not changed. Ui-hyeon raised an eyebrow.
Kim Ui-hyeon
[To his house?]
He looked down at the little red booklet in her hands. It seemed to make sense? The chauffeur went into the driver's seat. He still could not accept the fact that his young master had gotten married to a strange lady!
Ha-rin noticed the driver's expression and seemed to ask Ui-hyeon with her eyes
Yoo Ha-rin
[Is your driver reliable?]
She did not want to get into an accident right after getting her marriage certificate. Ui-hyeon coughed lightly and reminded the chauffeur to drive properly.
After Ha-rin confirmed the issue regarding her safety, she turned her attention to her phone again. The entire journey was silent
Then, Ha-rin's phone rang
Yoo Ha-rin
What's the matter?
Ha-rin's voice was cold and indifferent
Yoo Jihoon
What's with your attitude? I'm your father!
There was a faint voice coming from the other side of the phone. The person seemed to be saying that Ha-rin indeed from the countryside and had no manners...
Episode 3
The person who said that was Seo Yura, Han-rin's stepmother and Minseo's biological mother. 20 years ago, less than a week after Ha-rin's mother died, Mr. Yoo married Yura
What was worth mentioning was that before Yura joined the family, she had already given birth to Minseo. Mr. Yoo had claimed that Minseo was his biological daughter. Ha-rin was three years old then while Minseo was only two months younger than her
In other words, Mr. Yoo had an affair with Yura when Ha-rin's mother was pregnant with him! The first thing Yura did after joining the family was throw the insensible Ha-rin to the countryside to fend for herself.
Since Ha-rin had what they wanted, she ended up returning to the Yoo family. Yura pretended to take good care of her and was very careful around her as well. However, now that Ha-rin had caused Minseo to miscarry, everything was brought back out into the open again
Seo Yura
Ha-rin! Ever since you returned to the Yoo family, I've been looking for a doctor to treat your illness. We're spending a fortune on all kinds of tonics and medications.
Seo Yura
You wanted to stay in a big room, so I gave you the entire fourth floor. You didn't know anything when you came back to the countryside, so I spent money to get a teacher to teach you.
Seo Yura
I was considerate toward you in every way as I was afraid that you wouldn't get used to it at all, but what about you?
Seo Yura questioned her at the top of her voice
Seo Yura
You stole my daughter's fiancé and caused her to miscarry. How can there be such a vicious woman like you in this world?! I've been so sincere to you, yet this is what I got. Ha-rin, you'll die a horrible death!
Ui-hyeon, who was resting with his eyes closed, was awakened by a chuckle. He turned his head to look at Ha-rin. The sun was blazing in the afternoon, and scorching rays of light shone on Ha-rin's body through the car window.
It was clearly a very warm scene, yet an indescribable coldness spread within the car. Ha-rin moved her stiff neck, then relaxed her body and leaned carefreely on the back seat
Yoo Ha-rin
I stole your daughter's fiancé?
Yoo Ha-rin
Madam Seo, forgive me for reminding you, but I'm the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yoo family. The fiancé you're talking about is my fiancé. It was your daughter who shamelessly became the third party and stole my fiancé
Yoo Ha-rin
Back then, you snatched my father from my mother. Now that your daughter has snatched my fiancé away, shouldn't I say that the apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree?
Yoo Ha-rin
Madam Seo, let me kindly remind you that there's a price to pay for stealing someone else's things. I'll take back everything that you stole from my mother and what your daughter stole from me. Be prepared.
Seo Yura did not seem to expect such a reaction from Ha-rin and did not say anything for a long time. The phone returned to Mr. Yoo's hand.
Yoo Jihoon
Ha-rin, I'll give you 20 minutes. Come to the hospital and apologize to Minseo immediately. You've caused Minseo to have a miscarriage.
Yoo Jihoon
As long as you kneel down and apologize to Minseo sincerely, I won't hold you responsible. I'll also plead with Seojun for you and ask him to let you off.
He spoke with a strong sense of righteousness. It sounded like he was thinking for Ha-rin's sake, but in reality, he was trampling on Ha-rin's dignity to the ground
Yoo Ha-rin
Mr. Yoo, on the account that you're my father, I'll tell you that I got married ten minutes ago. You should get ready to give up your position as CEO of Yoo Corporation
Without waiting for Mr. Yoo's reaction, Ha-rin hung up the phone
Ha-rin was not as calm as she looked after having a falling out with her biological father. It could only be said that this family was too good at pretending.
Right after Ha-rin returned to the Yoo family, they were kind and friendly to her, causing her to mistakenly think that she could marry in peace and fulfill her grandfather's wish.
Their kindness might have seemed like sweet honey, but it was worse than arsenic. If she were not careful, they would have come after her life.
Ha-rin took out a mint candy from her bag and popped it into her mouth. The bitter and cold taste spread in her mouth, suppressing all the emotions that were in her mind
Ui-hyeon's gaze was still on Ha-rin, carefully capturing every single change in her expression. His gaze was extremely invasive, making it difficult to ignore
Yoo Ha-rin
What's the matter?
Ui-hyeon pointed at her phone and said
Kim Ui-hyeon
You seem to have caused a lot of trouble
Of course, this so-called trouble was nothing to him. On the account that he and Ha-rin had gotten their marriage certificate, if Ha-rin asked for his help, he would not mind doing her a small favor
Unfortunately, Ha-rin did not understand the hidden meaning behind Ui-hyeon's words at all.
Yoo Ha-rin
Don't worry. You'll still get the shares that I promised you, but it'll take some time. It'll be done after I handle the Yoo family's matter
Transferring the shares to Ui-hyeon now was equivalent to transferring the Yoo family's power to him. Ui-hyeon agreeing to marry her was already a great help. Ha-rin could not repay his kindness with ingratitude.
Hearing her words, Ui-hyeon was silent for a long time. Finally, he could not help but ask,
Kim Ui-hyeon
You don't seem to know who I am?
