(Episode 31)
(Gami, Temporary Closure Notice)
Hello.
Yes, you're not open today.
That's because...
our CEO passed away.
The CEO?
I'm talking about our chef.
Wasn't he...
Ms. Nam Soo Hee's husband?
Yes, he was.
But how...
It was quite sudden.
- Where is his funeral held? - He was put in a cinerarium today.
I see.
Is it possible for me to get Ms. Nam Soo Hee's...
phone number?
Pardon?
I'm an old friend of Ms. Nam.
She's in the hospital now.
She collapsed due to the shock.
And I don't think I can give you her number.
I understand.
But if you leave your number with me, I'll pass it on to her.
No, that's all right. I can drop by another time.
Gye Dong.
Gye Dong...
Why are you here?
(Late Lee Gye Dong)
You've worked hard all your life.
All you ever did was work.
If anyone deserves to die,
it should be me.
Why did your life have to end?
Get up right now. You're not going to get up?
Why do you keep bothering me? I said I was sick.
Stop fighting.
Mom, I'm leaving now.
Dad, aren't you leaving?
No, I'll leave in a bit.
- You should go now. - I'm going now.
Mom, the son you love so much was making breakfast.
Have some breakfast and get some energy.
You didn't have dinner last night either.
Dad.
I don't have an appetite.
Stop it and get up.
Aren't you embarrassed to face the kids?
Why would I be? Why?
I know that you're worried that Gwang Jae's family might go broke.
Don't you think I know that?
Of course, I'm worried. How could I not be?
I understand if you're genuinely worried about Gwang Jae.
Kids know that you're worried that your son-in-law might be broke.
Before you embarrass yourself further, stop it and get up.
What are you doing?
Mom.
Are you feeling better?
You should have some breakfast.
I prepared breakfast for you on the table.
My gosh, I told you I didn't have an appetite.
I prepared you a soft-boiled egg, a fruit salad, and some tea.
Eat your breakfast before it gets cold.
Okay, I will. Go to your classes now.
I got the pot going for your coffee.
I'm sorry, but you have to serve yourself.
I'm going now.
Get up.
I'll be really angry if you keep this up.
It's not pork. It's braised beef in soy sauce.
You like this dish.
You used to eat this a lot when you were a kid.
I don't even remember that.
What about me? I like braised beef too.
You don't seem worried at all.
You don't know when your company will close down.
How could you eat at a time like this?
Why would the company close down? We have Mr. Nam.
He's no use. The CEO passed away.
Your company will go under after it pays off the investment.
- Did Myung Sun tell you that? - Yes.
Because of that, Hyun Sook hasn't eaten for days.
You should eat some more. What's wrong?
I can feel your hostile glare.
Will Gwang Jae and Young Ha be okay?
What do you mean?
Do you think Hyun Sook will let Young Ha...
date a guy whose family business went under?
Mom!
What's wrong with parents?
Parents aren't the problem.
Those two will have a change of heart.
Gwang Jae's dad was isolated when he passed away.
Do you think he has time to date?
Given that he's a mature guy.
What do you mean he was alone when he passed away?
If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk about it.
Mom, you sound uneducated.
But that's true.
He passed away alone in that empty house.
That's what I meant.
You're wrong.
You could say that he was isolated when he passed away.
Stop talking nonsense.
The cause of death was heart attack. That's absurd.
The more I think about it, the more my heart breaks for him.
His wife wasn't home.
It was after the housekeeper went home, so he was all alone.
I get why people would think that he was isolated.
Hey, is it true that they were divorced?
I clearly heard it.
It was Gwang Jae's uncle from his stepmother's side.
He dragged his sister...
and said that she didn't have to mourn for his divorced husband.
He said that his dad had nothing to do with her.
If that's what had happened, why did they live...
in the same house all this time?
This is probably what happened, Mom.
Fake divorce.
To protect their assets, they legally got a divorce,
but they lived together.
Wait, then Gwang Jae...
just lost his father.
Doesn't that mean he lost his mother too?
Legally speaking, yes.
No, this might be...
better for Gwang Jae.
- "Better"? - Yes.
The spouse is first in line...
to inherit the partner's assets.
That means if a spouse with more assets passes away,
the remaining assets get divided and passed down to the family.
The ratio of children to spouse is...
1 to 1.5 respectively.
And legally speaking, Gwang Jae doesn't have a mother anymore,
so he will take the whole thing without having to divide the assets.
Good for Gwang Jae.
I think the remaining assets...
must be at least one million dollars.
You idiot. How is that "better"? How is that "better" for him?
My gosh, that poor kid lost his father.
It doesn't matter even if he has all the money in the world.
I thought the business was booming. Why did he have that much debts?
Hey, that's that. Clear this table away.
Put up a new wallpaper in your room.
Did you take a look at that room?
Mom, it's because it's a hassle to put up a new wallpaper.
Why don't you kick them out...
and let us use that room instead?
Why not?
You should give me the deposit for that room.
If you do that, Yong will take his family and move out.
How much is the deposit?
The deposit was pretty sizable.
It was when deposits were rising.
Why did you kick me?
If you're done, get up.
I understand that you two are comfortable with each other.
How could you kick your husband in front of your mother-in-law?
My husband is so slow-witted to bring up about the rooms.
For a moment, I lost my mind.
Dad, where are you now?
Don't say you are at the hospital. I was just there.
We came to a hotel after she got discharged.
We will stay here until things quiet down. That's all you need to know.
Soo Hee?
She's well. Don't worry.
I'm hanging up.
I must go. I want to go home.
I just got a call from Tae Il.
The creditors are at the house.
Do you want to be humiliated by them?
If that's what you want, you can go now.
What about Gwang Jae? How is he doing?
He's well.
So just think about yourself.
No, I must go.
You're in no condition to go anywhere.
Get some more rest.
Please listen to me.
Gwang Jae.
There's a lot of business stuff that needs to be taken care of.
How can I help if I know nothing?
You should just take care of it. You must know what's going on.
But I don't know anything.
You're the inheritor.
You need to...
report his death first.
There are many things to deal with.
You can take care of everything...
with Mom and Uncle.
There are some things that only his son can do.
I can do the others.
These are the necessary documents for reporting his death,
like medical diagnosis, the doctor's opinion, and so on.
You should take these and report his death.
Can't I do that later?
I know how you feel, but some things need to be done.
There are so many things to do.
We should do things one by one.
Why isn't the maid coming...
to help us with the laundry?
I told her to take a rest...
because of the situation here.
We should call people to help us organize.
We should tidy up Uncle's belongings too.
No.
I'm going to leave his things as they were.
Everything.
Forever.
I'm leaving. Visit me later.
Laundry?
He's out of his mind.
Uncle,
how could you leave like this?
You left a son like that by himself.
By the way, I'm not sure if you know this,
but Uncle and Aunt are divorced.
You should know this.
What?
Everything is in there.
They were prepared for the worst.
They both agreed on it,
so don't say anything.
(Family Relation Certificate)
So we're strangers now?
Are we?
Mom, where are you?
Pick up the phone.
I need to meet you.
Gwang Jae, it's me.
Are you okay?
I don't have the strength to move.
Can you come here?
Yes, I'm so sad too.
Yes, you should come here, okay?
- Gwang Jae, it's your uncle. - Give it to me.
- What are you doing? - You can't meet her. Listen to me.
- No. - We're in a bad situation.
I'll go outside. We should meet.
You probably don't know this,
but the creditors are looking for her.
- If they find out it was fake, - Gwang Jae.
she'll go to prison. Would you want that to happen?
Soo Hwan.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E31 Rich Family's Son -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hey, aren't you going to work?
The Director told me not to come until he called.
Are you going to die if he tells you to?
It's in hard times like these that you should answer the phone...
and clean the office.
Everyone is skipping meals to work hard.
All right.
You should come to work.
Okay.
Don't smile, you idiot.
Stop smiling.
I hate you.
Gye Dong.
You passed away...
because of a stupid man like me.
Gye Dong.
I will follow your lead.
Of course.
I'll follow you and get punished by you.
Dad.
You probably didn't receive the call because you were playing...
and going on dates.
But if you had received the call,
he might still be alive.
Where is she?
Don't do this. Let's talk outside.
You're the director, aren't you?
- You persuaded us to invest in you. - Yes.
You scum. Give me my money back.
Where's my money?
Let go of me.
We'll leave when you give us the money.
Where's my money?
What do you want?
- Who are you guys? - Gosh.
- Don't. - Who are they?
Who are you?
You're Lee Gye Dong's son, aren't you?
This is great.
You should pay us in his place.
- What? - You should talk to me.
- Why doesn't he know? - His son would know.
- Come here. - He should pay.
Hey, where's his wife?
You should give us back our money!
- Hey! - Don't!
- How dare you? - Hey!
- Don't, Gwang Jae. - Gosh.
- You hit me? - Gosh.
- How dare you? - Darn it.
Don't.
Gwang Jae, please stop!
- Just die. - Oh, my.
- Stop it! - Let me go.
- What are you doing? - My dad isn't a thief.
- What are you doing? - It's Gwang Jae.
- Stomp on him. - Oh, my.
- Let me go! - No.
- What should I do? - Stop it.
My dad isn't a thief!
Let me go.
It can't be.
They couldn't be broke so soon when they were so rich.
Yes?
What?
There's an article published in the Korean American newspaper?
What does it say?
They have certain proof...
that Gami copied the menu?
Did they patent it first?
A lawsuit?
Okay.
Tell me if there are any more articles published.
Why isn't there any good news?
Why does...
he still have this thick blanket?
I'm sure that I changed it earlier.
I need to return this.
I also need to change the blankets.
That's right. I need to do it.
I don't think I should meet her again.
No, but I need to give it back.
When did she do this?
So she realized her dream in a way.
Did she go to school without locking the door?
Mong Mong.
Mong Mong, wake up.
- Dad? - Why are you here at this time?
I bought a lunch box to give Mom.
Make some time to eat it with Mom.
Let's eat together.
I need to go back to the office right away.
Don't tell her that I bought it.
Please tell her that you bought it and go home early.
Your mom won't believe it.
Do your best to deceive her.
- I'm going. - Thank you, I'll enjoy it.
You should have just told me to buy it and take it home.
Why did she bring it when she doesn't even have time?
- Do you like to drink? - Yes.
Do your best. She's pretty.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Where were we?
I asked if you like to drink.
There's a street vendor that I go frequently.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm sorry.
Hello?
I'm really sorry. Something really urgent happened.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Yong, thank you.
I left my wallet and everything at Mong Mong's house from carrying her.
She's the rooftop house owner, isn't she?
Yes, but we're not in a relationship.
We're just friends. She's my female friend.
Don't get it wrong.
Okay.
I've never seen someone faint like that because of a cold.
My sisters aren't like that.
Your sisters are the same.
They're just pretending to be tough.
Kyung Ha's tonsils get swollen frequently.
You're right.
I'll repay the hospital bill soon.
Okay, repay it soon.
- I'm going. - I'll go...
when Mong Mong is done getting shots.
Myung Ha.
Do you know what I was doing before I came here?
You were busy, weren't you? I'm sorry.
I was on my first blind date.
I'm really sorry.
Let's keep...
this as a secret between us.
It all depends on you.
I'll do my best, boss.
Go back to her.
Mom.
Why?
Come here.
Why aren't you coming in?
- Take this. - What is this?
Kyung Ha bought this for you to eat.
Eat this.
You shoud eat it.
I already ate. You should take it.
It's your favorite.
Don't give it to Jong Yong and eat it by yourself.
Okay. Did you already eat?
- Mine is here. - Okay.
Eat it before it gets cold.
Okay.
I'm so tired.
- What is that? - Yes?
No one is after you. Eat slowly.
Why don't you like this when it's so delicious?
You have a strange taste.
You're right.
I think I have a strange taste.
One's left.
Eat it.
Why did they mix eggs in this?
It's not appetizing.
Eat this.
Do you only have one?
It's a pity that Kyung Ha isn't openhanded.
I already ate.
She bought two.
- You already ate? - Yes.
Open your mouth.
- What? - Open your mouth.
I already ate.
My eldest daughter wouldn't have only bought one of this.
Your mother must have ate the other one.
Should we share it?
This sushi lunch box isn't enough to share.
It's not that bad.
I'm not going to take it away from you. Just enjoy it.
Just live long for me.
Seeing how Gye Dong went, you never know what will happen to people.
Gwang Jae.
Honey, what is Gwang Jae going to do?
Listen carefully and don't say anything ridiculous later.
The problem started...
when the U.S. investment group canceled the contract.
And why did they cancel it?
We failed to meet the deadline...
to complete the warehouse and the required infrastructure.
They have different regulations from Korea.
It was our fault to work so loosely.
You don't have to explain it. I'm not interested.
What are you interested in then?
Just tell me...
how much Dad left me.
I don't know anything anyway.
Just take care of everything for me.
Just leave me some money to travel.
Money to travel?
Yes.
So you're just going to live...
chasing your dream...
as a meager travel writer?
Yes.
I'm just going to die from living like that.
I'm going to die on the streets.
You crazy fool.
A travel writer?
Is that so easy that anyone can do it?
That dream doesn't suit you.
No, you can't do it.
Are you disregarding me?
Yes, I'm disregarding you.
How could you be a writer when you're so ignorant?
You threw punches...
at the creditors.
Let's be blunt.
You only know how to party and spend a lot of money.
Do you even have the knowledge to write?
Disregard me if you want.
I don't care.
Just repay all of Dad's debt.
Take care of the company...
and just leave me my share.
Your share?
Where is that?
We don't even have enough money to repay the debt, fool.
Why don't we have money?
Why isn't it enough?
Try to make some sense.
Do you know how rich my Dad was?
Do you know how much property he has?
You told me that I was the son of a rich man.
Why isn't there any money then?
What happened to all that money?
