The Famous Millionaire

Chapter 282 - Chapter 276



Chapter 282: Chapter 276

The mole could not know who the client was.

But it was easy for him to guess who he might be. The targets of the surveillance were Yu Zuung and Hyujnwoo Jang. Obviously, the client must be as powerful and rich as them.

If he handled the client’s request successfully, he could make more money than the original offer.

So, the mole tried his best to obtain more specific intelligence about them, including their marriage plans and sex life. But the informant could not get any audio file about it.

Obviously, Yu Zuung changed her dress. He tried one more time but was almost caught at the last minute.

After all, he had to stop shadowing them. He sent the recorded audio file to the client.

Several days later, there appeared an article on the internet. According to the story, Yu Zuung was on intimate terms with Hyunwoo Jang, the president of Ani & Funny.

It was not based on groundless rumors. There was lots of specific evidence showing their deep relationship including the photos of their walking together and conversation.

The general public began to be excited.

“Oh, this voice must be Yu Zuung’s.”

“What the heck? Is she really on intimate terms with him?”

“So disappointed with her. I thought she was different.”

They didn’t sit idle. Some of them attacked her on the homepage of Ani & Funny, demanding that she tell the truth.

Yu Zuung was embarrassed, so was Hyunwoo.

She was almost about to cry.

“What should I do?”

What could Hyunwoo do in this situation? The best policy he could take now was not to react.

They would forget about this as time passes.

But it would take a very long for them to forget it. That meant Yu Zuung would have to put up with her trouble until then.

Above all, she was a big star who was on a very tight schedule.

Whenever she appeared on TV shows, they would ask about her relationship with him.

She would have to lie on such occasions. Hyunwoo felt heartbroken when he thought about it.

Suddenly, it came to his mind, ‘Why should she suffer such pain?’

Why is it wrong for somebody to love someone? Even if she is a famous entertainer and he is the president of a large company, is it so blamable for them to love each other?

Hyunwoo thought it was not.

He asked Yu Zuung, “Shall we announce that we’re a couple?”

Yu Zuung’s eyes opened wide with surprise.

His bombshell announcement would be happy news to her, but so dreadful to her at the same time. If it was revealed now that she was his lover, her life as an entertainer would be at an end.

But Hyunwoo didn’t think like that.

“It is not the end of your life as an entertainer, but the beginning. If you have appealed to the public with your beauty and purity up to now, you have to prove your capabilities from now on. If you feel you are not good at acting, dancing or singing, you can stop there and concentrate on your original job as a character creator.”

She could not make a decision easily. She was so charmed by the sweet life as an entertainer. She still wanted to hear her fans’ shouting for joy and become the object of all men’s envy.

“Let me think about it.”

After he said goodbye to her, Hyunwoo went back to his house in Hwasung.

Many reporters gathered in front of his house when he arrived there, but he didn’t say anything.

He just remained silent. He didn’t lower his head, nor avoided the cameras. He took pains to stay calm.

When he entered his house, he got a call from someone again.

He was now sick and tired of calls because reporters now began to call him on his cell phone.

“Should I break this phone forever?”

Staring at his phone, Hyunwoo burst into anger.

He checked the caller and found the caller’s number was familiar.

Actually, he could not forget it.

“Suji? Why did she suddenly call me?”

Did she call to comfort him after she read the article?

He answered the phone.

Suji comforted him with warm words first.

Hyunwoo felt a bit relaxed when she comforted him. Though she did split with him with regrets, she once loved him.

“Thanks, Suji.”

After she exchanged greetings with him, she brought up the main topic.

She seemed to be very careful about what she had to say next.

After some hesitation, she barely opened her mouth,

“I’m getting married next month.”

Hyunwoo just felt calm. He was fully preoccupied with Yu Zuung at the moment.

“Congrats! Your bridegroom must be that prosecutor, right?”

“Yes, Jungsu.”

He had nothing more to say except for expressing congratulations.

Suji also seemed to have no word in reply. There was a bit of silence between them.

“Do you have any good news?” she asked.

“Not yet…”

Then Suji continued, “Why don’t you get married to Yu Zuung? Wasn’t it true that you met her with that in mind?”

Hyunwoo felt as if she was reproaching him.

Hyunwoo could not answer easily. He hesitated because he didn’t want to reveal his relationship with her without getting her approval first.

But Suji could understand. Maybe, she might already know it.

“Well, I asked her already, but it looks like she was not ready yet. She’s thinking about it, too.”

“It totally depends on you how she will respond. You should take the initiative,” said Suji.

“Really?”

“Of course. Just show her how you genuinely feel toward her, so that she can be confident. Then, her sorrow can turn into joy.”

Hyunwoo didn’t reply. Instead, he kept turning Suji’s advice over in his mind.

“I’m saying this to you as someone who once liked you, so please take the advice.”

“Of course. Thanks, Suji.”

After the call, he agonized again.

Was it because of Suji’s advice? He seemed to sort out his complicated thoughts.

And he made up his mind.

‘Yea, let me convince her first. I have to show her that she is the one and only love for me.’

When he thought as far as that, he recalled what his friends told him.

In particular, some married friends of his pointed out two things.

According to them, women didn’t forget their partners’ two mistakes for the rest of their lives.

First, women never forget how their husbands hurt them when they got pregnant. There was no other time when they felt more hurt than then.

Second, women never forget about their husbands’ lack of proper proposals before marriage.

Come to think of it, Hyunwoo had never done anything like proposing to Yu Zuuung.

When he imagined how happy she would be when he proposed, he was happy, too.

And this was a golden chance for him to do so.

‘Yes, let me propose to her.’

If he had to, he wanted to propose in a magnificent way, so that she could remember it for the rest of her life.

He pondered over what’s the best way to propose to her.

Suddenly, he hit upon an idea.

‘Oh, that might touch her deeply.’

Early in the afternoon the next day, Yu Zuung was in her condo in Seoul.

About two hours later, she was supposed to appear on a TV entertainment program. She had to leave now to prepare for the program well.

But she was hesitant because of the reporters, who must have camped in front of her condo.

In the past, she didn’t feel scared about the reporters because they treated her favorably all the time, but not now.

They ferociously chased her just like a hound chasing a prey. She was just scared standing before them.

Even though she had four bodyguards and her manager protect her, they could not be of any help.

After all, it was up to her to overcome her difficulties.

She clenched her fists.

“I’m okay. I don’t have to be scared. I’m a Vietnamese woman anyway. We, Vietnamese women, are not weak-spirited.”

She left the condo ready to face the music.

Her manager and bodyguards instantly followed her, but the reporters also began to chase her.

The shouting from the reporters was as noisy as the honks of cars.

“Can you confirm the voices in the audio file that they are yours and Hyunwoo’s?”

“What is your relationship with him?”

“Are you lovers?”

She felt as if her eardrums were going to split. She couldn’t even breathe because of the reporters’ ruthless pushing and shoving to get her answers.

At that moment, they became silent all of a sudden. They cast a glance at someone else.

With a curious look, they expressed surprise, looking at him.

“Oh, that man is…”

“Isn’t he Hyunwoo Jang, the president of Ani & Funny?”
