Volume 2 Chapter 77 Past Events

  Han Kejia is currently sitting in the car, looking east and west, completely ignoring the scenery along the way. Han Xue, who was driving, couldn't help but smile when she saw Han Kejia like this, feeling that Han Kejia was really cute and it was great to have such a sister.

  Before long, the car stopped in front of a skyscraper. Han Kekai, although small and white, knew that this was Korea's largest financial enterprise company. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and immediately thought to herself, "Could my grandfather be some kind of high-ranking official here?"

  However, when Han Xue took her to the chairman's office, it was enough to make someone's jaw drop.

  "Is that Kekai?" An elderly man with some gray hair and shallow wrinkles on his face exclaimed excitedly as soon as he saw Han Kekai enter. Although his face looked very weathered, his body was still robust, and his tall stature combined with his majestic aura was enough to make many people tremble with fear.

  However, when he saw his granddaughter Han Kejia, that majestic momentum was all put away, replaced by a happy smile. If those subordinates who usually see him were to see this, they would definitely be like Han Kejia just now, with their jaws dropped in shock.

  "Who are you?" Han Kejia looked at the old man in front of her, seeing the excitement and delight in his eyes, but still asked uncertainly.

  "I'm your grandfather, your real grandfather." The old man now seemed to be really excited, and even spilled a lot of tea from the teacup in his hand.

  Han Kejia didn't know what to say at this time, was the person in front of her really her own grandfather? She took out the family photo she had received from Han Xue earlier and compared it with the middle-aged man in the photo. Except for the white hair and a few more wrinkles on his face, there was not a single difference.

  Han Kejia somewhat believed that the person in front of her was indeed her own grandfather.

  "Are you really my grandfather?" Although she was somewhat certain in her heart, Han Kejia asked again, feeling that she didn't know what to say at this point.

  The old man nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and calmed down the excitement he had just felt. He sighed and said slowly: "Ke Jia, do you still remember that when you were born, Shan Mei was sent to the hospital due to severe bleeding, Xian Jun called me to tell me that your mother had a difficult delivery, I was so scared at that time, I took leave from work and rushed back home..."

  Han Kejia saw the old man recalling past events, his heart slightly trembling, and he also carefully began to listen.

  "We waited for several hours outside the operating room, but fortunately, both mother and daughter are safe. At that time, I won't mention how excited Xianjun and I were, and your mom had been looking forward to having a daughter since she was pregnant with you, saying that daughters are easier to raise, obedient, sensible, and lovable." The old man continued to speak, his eyes somehow welling up with tears.

  She rubbed her eyes, and in place of them was again a big smile: "Now it's all right, Qia has grown up, become a big girl, and is even more beautiful than Shanmei when she was young."

  Looking at the old man's sorrowful appearance, for some reason, Han Kejia's heart felt a little sad. Was it sympathy? Shaking her head, Han Kejia spoke up: "Then, why didn't I see you once in these eighteen years?"

  The old man heard Han Kejia's question and was slightly stunned at first, then let out a sigh and spoke out his own bitter feelings.

  It was just a few months after Han Kejia was born.

  Hwang Sung-hyun, after losing tens of millions of won in an underground casino, borrowed usury and was chased by creditors every day. In desperation, he had no choice but to hide at Lim Sun-mi's and Hwang Hyun-jun's house.

  Hwang Hyun-jun and Lim Seon-mi, a couple who were also high-income office workers at the time, had a considerable monthly income, but recently due to their marriage and purchasing a new home in Seoul, they had almost no savings left. Additionally, with the birth of their child, they didn't have any money to help their father pay off his debt.

  The interest on the usury was indeed a considerable sum, and the original tens of millions of won had increased by an unknown amount in just a few weeks, also putting the Han family in crisis at the time.

  The only way is to sell the house in Seoul to pay off the debt.

  But Han Chengxian was unwilling to do so. He didn't want his son and daughter-in-law to sell the new house they had just bought with their hard-earned savings because of him.

  Under duress, Han Seong-hyeon had no choice but to buy a ticket overnight and flee to a distant place. On the one hand, it was to escape debt and let his son and daughter-in-law stay away from this worry. On the other hand, he also felt that he had lost face and could not face them again.

  However, he didn't expect that the group of people actually found their way to Han Hyun-jun and Lim Sun-mi's home to force them to pay off the debt, saying that Han Sung-hyun had run away with the debt and only his son and daughter-in-law, Han Sung-hyun and Lim Sun-mi, could repay it.

  In this way, for several years, Han Xianjun and Lin Shanmei lived frugally, and thanks to Han Xianjun's outstanding work ability, he was recognized by his boss and continuously promoted, with a steadily increasing salary. It wasn't until Han Kejia was five years old that they were able to pay off all their debts.

  The total of this and the previous one is almost 200 million won they paid back.

  The number has risen from 70-80 million at that time to such a large number, making people feel a burst of anger towards the high-interest loans.

  Hearing this, Han Kexia also recalled a memory from her childhood where it seemed that there was a period of time when her parents were frugal and paid off debts. Although she believed Han Chengxian's words, she also despised him at the same time. As a man, he chose to escape without taking responsibility, leaving the problem for his children to face, truly...

  But after that, Han Seong-hyun felt a pang of guilt when he learned that his son and daughter-in-law had helped him pay off the debt, but he was even more ashamed to face them again.

  At that time, Han Seong-hyeon had already started his own career outside and earned his first pot of gold.

  Maybe it's self-blame, maybe it's guilt towards his son and daughter-in-law, or maybe it's compensation for Han Kejia who has never been by his side.

  Han Chengxian became a shareholder of many large and small industries within ten years, and even established several companies of his own, which are still expanding to increase his influence.

  Up until today, the catering industry, construction industry, financial industry and so on, a series of industries that Hwang Seong-eun has been involved in have mostly reached an enviable level.

  It can be said that now the biggest person in the Korean entertainment industry is not Han Seung-yeon, after all, it's not long since she debuted, but she can also be considered to be in a upper position.

  But one thing is for sure, Chung Mong-hun can definitely be counted as one of Korea's richest men.

  It's not just what was mentioned earlier, Han Chengxian has countless companies under his name, including the entertainment industry where Han Kejia is located, and even a small share of his own, although it's very little, but also can't be underestimated.

  But now the only thing that makes him regret is that Han Hyun-joon and Lim Sun-mi obviously know that their father has already achieved his current glory, but they have never come to find themselves, still living a life of three people. Han Sung-hyun knows that they ultimately did not forgive themselves.

  It was just the second year after Han Chengxian left, when he was in a state of development, that he adopted Han Xue, a little girl who had just turned seven years old. When Han Chengxian first saw her, he was very fond of her. In fact, this was also his nostalgia and longing for Han Kejia, who had just been born, and from then on, Han Xue became the goal he struggled for.

  Han Xue has been doted on by Han Chengxian since she was a child, being constantly pampered and protected. But instead of being spoiled, Han Xue has developed a sense of gratitude towards Han Chengxian in her heart, and has become even more diligent in her studies. Her sensible and mature demeanor has also earned the admiration of many people around Han Chengxian.

  Many people have asked Han Lao how he managed to raise his granddaughter so well-behaved and sensible, but Han Chengxian just smiled and didn't say much. Because he knew that everything was due to Han Xue's own efforts.

  Han Kejia's expression was somewhat melancholic at this moment, she couldn't believe that Han Chengxian was actually her own grandfather. Although she had heard his name many times before and thought it was just a coincidence of having the same name and surname, she never expected...

  Should I be happy now? My grandfather is the richest man in Korea. Han Kejia rolled her eyes, but she couldn't feel any excitement at all. Looking at the old man's expectant gaze, she let out a faint sigh.

  At this moment she knew what the old man needed most.

  Taking two steps forward, Han Kekai finally slowly opened his mouth and said the two words that Han Chengxian had always wanted to hear: "Grandpa!"

  At this moment, Han Chengxian seemed to have taken some kind of magical medicine, and his whole person appeared refreshed. The wrinkles on his face burst out with the happiest smile in eighteen years.

  Lin Xue, who was standing beside him, also saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh happily.

  "Grandpa, it seems you've finally fulfilled your wish after all these years." She said to herself...
