The Rich Son (부잣집 아들)

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.

Gye Dong...

Gye Dong...

Why are you here?

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...
