(Episode 26)
I need to tell you something.
I'm...
pregnant.
I'm five weeks pregnant.
It's your baby.
What did you just say?
I won't ask you to take responsibility.
But...
I just thought you should know.
I'll go in first.
You eventually made Tae Yang go look for you in the end.
I thought you were useless, but you're not so bad.
Good.
Girls need to play hard-to-get now and then...
so guys appreciate them and don't take them for granted.
- Mom. - Yes?
Whatever I choose to do,
you'll cheer me on, right?
What do you mean?
You trust your daughter, right?
What's wrong? Did you do something?
I'll tell you once I figure it all out.
Wait until then even if you're curious.
Okay?
Figure it out? What?
Perhaps with Tae Yang?
Where did all this money go?
I've lost my mind.
I have.
I spent all that money...
in the blink of an eye.
My gosh.
What do I do now?
Goodness.
Did you enjoy your trip?
I did.
Did you go grocery shopping?
The fridge is full.
No, not me. Your mom.
My mom?
She said she wasn't leaving home for a while.
What got into her?
Today, I took your mom...
Didn't she say anything?
No. About what?
I felt so bad for her because she was depressed about you,
so I spent a small fortune.
- You did? - That's right.
So please, don't upset your mom. Be good.
Got it?
Okay.
- Honey. - What?
Wake up. Let's go to Father's house.
Did he say he'd take us back?
We decided to get Min Jae divorced. I'm sure he will.
Anyway, we proved we did nothing wrong.
My gosh.
We've had that cuckoo clock for so long.
Who uses clocks like that nowadays?
I've tried all sorts of clocks,
but none of them were as good.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo."
How good does that sound?
I like the sound of chicks.
Don't they have chick clocks? "Chirp, chirp."
Stop chirping and get up.
Get dressed.
"Cuckoo," "Chirp," same difference.
"Chirp, chirp."
Min Jae, let's go to Grandfather's house.
Min Jae. Good.
Why did you come down?
You said we're going to breakfast.
Was I asking you?
Mother.
Stay out of it, Min Jae.
You have some nerve.
Where do you think you're going?
Min Jae's grandfather already has high blood pressure.
Are you trying to make it spike and kill him?
You just stay home.
No. Just go to your house. I can't stand the sight of you.
If she doesn't go, neither will I.
What?
Min Jae, be quiet and come with us.
Father!
Do you think I want to go there?
This is because of you! All because of you!
Why are you raising your voice so early in the morning?
Let's go. We'll be late.
Get moving before Grandfather gets mad.
Let's go.
Ji Eun.
Thank you, Father,
for taking us back in.
Where's Ji Eun?
Why are you bringing her up?
Don't even mention her name again.
You came.
I didn't have breakfast.
Set a place for me.
What happened to making them get a divorce?
Sorry I'm late.
What...
You... Who said you could come here?
I came to tell Grandfather something.
How dare you show your face here?
Get out right now!
Min Jae.
- Take Ji Eun out of here. - I'm...
pregnant.
What?
What... Do... Do you mean it?
Yes.
Even if we do get divorced,
I thought I should tell you, Grandfather.
I'm going to eat.
I haven't been able to eat for the past few days.
We...
will not get divorced.
No. We can't.
Come with me. I'll buy you something good to eat.
No, I'll just eat here.
I said let's go.
Min Jae doesn't seem to want to get divorced at all.
What will you do?
I'm speechless.
After all that time, why now?
Hey.
Don't let the baby hold you back.
Persuade him.
Min Jae does anything his dad says.
Goodness. Come on now.
How could you say that after what Kwang Il did?
A parent can't control his child.
Then are you saying you'll forgive Ji Eun?
Min Jae refuses to get a divorce.
Sook Hee?
I don't know.
I'm in such shock, I don't know what's what.
Let them stay together.
Will you forgive Ji Eun?
She's pregnant with my great-grandchild.
With my great-grandchild.
It's the first baby...
in 10 years since Ji Min was born.
Kwang Il and his wife don't seem to plan on having another child.
What's the point in building a kingdom?
I have so few children who will protect it.
Regardless, it's my blood.
Ji Eun is despicable, but what choice do I have?
If it's confirmed to be my blood, let Ji Eun stay.
Do you mean it?
Have I ever said anything that I don't mean?
I'll have Mr. Seo sell my shares,
so use the money...
to acquire Shinsung Express.
Okay.
What? Sell your shares?
Logis is going to acquire Shinsung Express,
so I'm giving him some of my shares.
That reminds me.
Jae Yong, have your company use Kwang Il's company for distribution.
But... That's...
We already have companies that we are contracted with.
Figure out a way to cancel the contracts.
What's family for?
You should help each other out.
Our company is much bigger.
How could Kwang Il's small company...
No, Father.
That's why we're acquiring Shinsung. You don't need to worry.
You send Kwang Il more business and sell your shares...
to build up his company.
What about Min Jae?
Bring me a great-grandchild.
Then I'll give him a generous gift as well.
Do you mean it?
You'll give him a gift once he has a child?
If it's a boy.
A boy.
What if it's a girl?
Gosh.
Father. A daughter is a child too. Who does that nowadays?
What have you been so deep in thought about?
Now, Min Jae is having a child too.
I know.
I'm happy for him.
Thanks to the baby, he won't have to get a divorce.
But there's another blood relative taking a piece of the pie now.
That's how much Kwang Il's and Ji Min's shares will shrink.
Are you upset that my father said he'd give Min Jae a gift?
I never said that.
To be honest, I am.
I thought my father...
would never take Min Jae's family back in after what Daesong did,
but everything is good now...
just because Ji Eun is pregnant.
Isn't Shi Wol going to have another child?
Isn't she going to give Ji Min a little brother or sister?
I'd like her to have another too,
but I don't want to pressure her.
She's busy enough with the company already.
Did Shi Wol say anything...
to you?
About what?
Nothing.
What is it? Is something wrong?
Actually...
Well...
Are you really not going to talk to Mother?
Don't you want me to become chairman?
Anyway, Mother's shares weren't enough?
You're selling Grandfather's too?
Mother's shares aren't nearly enough.
Was this Father's idea too?
Yes.
You'll talk to Mother for me, right?
I said I can't.
Honey.
I can't do it.
If you want it so badly, you do it.
You're still her son.
Still?
Sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
We borrowed over two billion dollars...
to acquire Yangji Construction.
Our equity structure became complicated because of that.
The family should be securing profits and shares,
but you want to sell shares instead?
I can't consent to this.
That's why he'll make Yangji Logis a holding company.
That's the only way...
I can become chairman, which you want so badly.
That's cheating.
How can I inherit the company without cheating?
It's not just us.
Other conglomerates do the same thing.
Would you give up over half your inheritance...
to taxes?
I want to inherit my parents' fortune.
Why is the country taxing it?
I want you to become the chairman using legal methods...
as much as possible.
Trying to claim it without paying for it at all...
is what thieves do.
Are you calling me a thief?
I'm saying you should pay the price...
if you want that title.
Tae Yang, the building you bought in Manhattan...
is going up in price every day.
First, stocks. Now, real estate.
What's your secret?
Do you invest in real estate based on graphs and numbers too?
Teach me your methods.
I invested in profitable real estate because it's dependable income.
I honestly don't know why the price is jumping so much.
Regardless, successful people succeed in everything.
Ki Joon.
Go to the US.
The US? Why?
I was talking to someone I know there recently,
and I can't stop thinking about something he said.
What did he say?
He said his maid has five houses.
A maid has five houses?
How much does he pay her?
It's not that he pays a lot.
The American banks are giving out loans like crazy right now.
Even to people without much income.
Banks are issuing loans to people with no income,
no jobs, and no assets whatsoever.
They're called "NINJA loans".
How could they do that?
Exactly.
We experienced it in the year 2000 with the dot com bubble.
It has a similar feel.
Are you saying the American real estate market is a bubble?
Yes. So Ki Joon, go over there...
and check out what's going on over there...
and get me the information I need.
This is perfect. I've been wanting to take a trip.
You'll give me plenty of money for the trip, right?
Fine.
Let's see.
I think my passport expires soon.
Okay. I need to prepare for my business trip,
so I'll be going now.
I'm sure you didn't sleep a wink last night.
Thanks to you.
I won't hold you back because of the baby.
Don't worry.
What about the baby?
I'm keeping it.
I'm not as rich as you, but I have enough to raise a child.
I have a good amount saved up,
and an apartment in my name.
I'm saying this because I know you.
And I'm worried.
Don't you dare say let's get married...
just because of the baby.
You'd be...
killing me twice if you do.
Got that?
Then what do you want me to do?
If you can't love me,
just dump me.
Be cold and kick me to the curb.
So that I can hate you...
and forget you completely.
I won't beg for love.
Got that?
What?
Sun Holdings showed an interest in acquiring Shinsung Express too?
Yes.
Why is Sun Holdings...
I don't know.
As soon as the M and A expert Oh Tae Yang expressed an interest,
Shinsung's stock price, which was dirt cheap, started to shoot up.
Do you think he did that intentionally,
knowing we were interested?
I don't think so.
They had already completed their due diligence...
before we decided to acquire them.
They already completed their due diligence.
What's wrong?
Why does Sun Holdings want Shinsung Express?
Does Shinsung have...
something that we don't know about?
Perhaps. They may.
No. This is suspicious.
I'm sure it's a coincidence.
Don't think too much into it.
Let's begin due diligence right away.
Yes, sir.
I consider you my daughter,
but you must still feel uncomfortable with me.
What do you mean?
It's about your husband,
my son, of all people.
"Mother, please sell some of your shares."
Why can't you say that?
Did Kwang Il tell you?
Your father-in-law told me.
Even the honorary chairman is giving up his shares.
I'm his mother. Naturally, so should I.
Don't do it.
Don't do it?
Don't sell your shares.
What do you mean?
What about the funds to acquire Shinsung?
It's not like I want to sell my shares.
But what choice do I have? They say there's no other way.
Anyway,
are you really...
not planning on having another child?
I haven't said anything so far since I didn't want to pressure you,
but Grandfather is waiting.
I'm sorry, Mother.
He stopped Min Jae's divorce just because Ji Eun's pregnant.
That's how obsessed he is about his bloodline.
Why did you not have more children after Kwang Il?
I was curious...
why you didn't have any children with Father.
I'm sorry if I was out of line.
I didn't plan to have any from the start.
So...
I won't have any more children...
after this one.
I didn't want to have the child of a man I didn't love.
Above all else, I thought...
that was the only way to protect Kwang Il.
I thought if I had a child with your father-in-law,
there would be a conflict between the siblings.
That's why.
I see.
But you're different from me.
So, before it's too late...
I'll try.
Okay. Thanks.
I won't be having any more children either.
I'll protect my son Ji Min just as you did.
I'm sorry.
Anyway,
I heard Sun Holdings is trying to acquire Shinsung as well.
They are?
That's right.
I thought this acquisition would be easy.
Talk about a bad coincidence.
If Yangji Logis becomes a holding company,
then eventually Yangji...
will end up going to Choi Tae Joon and your husband.
Yes.
Even if Yoo Wol reclaims his place,
he won't be able to take Yangji Group.
You risked your life...
to expose Choi Tae Joon's slush fund in order to kick him out,
and I thought he was finally out of the picture.
Who knew the tables would flip like this?
Sun Holdings is trying to acquire Shinsung Express.
What?
They are? Why?
I told you.
Yoo Wol is getting revenge on me and Yangji Group.
This won't do.
This may end up like a Greek tragedy.
Just tell them the truth...
about what Choi Tae Joon did to Yoo Wol.
You must stop Yoo Wol.
And if Chairman Jang finds out...
Choi Tae Joon switched his grandson, he'll have his head.
What about Ji Min?
Ji Min?
I've already proven he is Chairman Jang's blood.
But if it's proven that Kwang Il isn't his real grandson,
Ji Min will get hurt regardless.
Can't you tell them that Ji Min...
is Yoo Wol's child?
I shot myself in the foot.
The moment I tell the truth about Ji Min's real father,
I'll have to give him up.
That's ridiculous. He's your son.
He'll accept Ji Min because he's his blood.
But not me.
He'll kick me out right away.
Is that why you can't say anything although you know...
Oh Tae Yang is Yoo Wol? Because of Ji Min?
I lived only because of Ji Min.
I don't think...
I can live without him anymore.
If you can't love me, just dump me.
Be cold and kick me to the curb.
So that I can hate you and forget you completely.
Mr. Oh.
Do you have something to say?
Why do you keep...
Ji Min...
Don't hang out with Ji Min anymore.
Did I do something wrong?
No.
Then why?
Because he's your son.
You knew, didn't you?
Who I am.
That's right, I know.
How could I not recognize you?
Then why can't you say anything?
Why aren't you calling me "Yoo Wol"?
I want to.
I've wanted to call out your name...
thousands of times every day.
Then why?
Because I don't want to lose Ji Min.
Why can't I hang out with Ji Min?
I'm sorry, but your intentions for approaching us...
don't seem entirely pure to me.
My intentions?
Are you saying I'm using Ji Min?
Regardless, I've warned you.
Why do you doubt my intentions?
I heard you plan to acquire Shinsung Express.
And?
Yangji Logis is also trying to acquire them.
You'll probably say that is also a coincidence,
but I see all your moves...
as very thoroughly calculated.
Then, if you'll excuse me.
Ji Eun is despicable, but what choice do I have?
If it's confirmed to be my blood, let Ji Eun stay.
Blood...
Why are you drinking?
I couldn't sleep.
You look so pitiful.
Pour me a glass.
Did you want a great-grandchild that badly?
Of course.
Even the farmers in the countryside...
who live off the land...
Their family photos are bustling with children.
Farmers tend to be...
greedy about having children.
They have no money,
but they just keep having kids.
They figure it'll work out somehow.
Even in the past,
the poor had many children,
but in rich families...
children were so rare.
Strange, isn't it?
That makes me really jealous.
I envy them so much.
I put a building in Samseong-dong...
in your name.
Having no children is the best life.
Once I die, use the money I gave you...
to live your life...
doing whatever you want to your heart's content.
Where's the wine?
Oh, that.
Father and Ms. Yang...
were drinking in the dining room, so I just came back.
They're drinking together?
Yes.
Ms. Yang rarely ever drinks.
That's odd.
He put that building...
in Samseong-dong in her name.
He did?
Who else?
We're scrambling for cash as it is,
but he gave her that building? How could he do that?
Just ignore it.
Do you even know how much that building is worth?
Ms. Yang deserves at least that much.
Regardless,
she just rubs me the wrong way.
It bothers me.
Don't worry.
She isn't like that.
I guarantee it.
But...
Must you move out?
Yes.
You should go back to your place. And I'll...
What about you?
I'll move into my apartment.
You don't want to live with me?
No.
Think of my age.
I'm going to live on my own now.
I'm sick and tired of your nagging.
All you'll do is take care of me if we live together.
You should live alone, take trips with friends,
and live comfortably.
Let's do that, okay?
Hey.
Why are you stir-frying so many anchovies?
Have a seat.
What?
Sorry.
I won't be able to cook for you from now on.
Why not?
I think Duk Shil plans to end things with Tae Yang.
So it looks like I'll have to move out.
What? What was that?
Anyway, I'm sorry.
Gosh.
What about me?
Duk Shil...
and her mom...
want to move out.
You really...
can't make it work with Duk Shil?
It's not like...
I don't understand how you feel,
but it's just such a shame.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
Duk Shil is a great girl.
I knew her since she was this big.
I know her better than anyone.
I know that she's a good person.
So what's the problem?
- That's so good. - I can't do it.
Come here. Watch Daddy.
You'll fail your jump rope test tomorrow like that.
Watch Daddy. Do it like this.
- He's really good. - He is.
- Want to try again? - Yes.
Okay. Try it.
Don't hang out...
with Ji Min anymore.
One, two... Nice.
Good!
You're doing well.
We need to talk.
Come meet me.
Why did you call me out here in the middle of the night?
What is it?
That's right.
I don't love you.
Did you call me out to tell me that?
You're determined to make me hate you, I see.
But I will love you.
I'll love only you from now on.
So Duk Shil,
marry me.
