A Hundred Year's Inheritance (Abridged) Episode 23

Joo Mi smirks from afar as she watches Se Yoon accuse Chae Won of having posted the pictures of them on the website as well as faking the gift basket as being from him. C'mon, Se Yoon. Don't piss me off. Please let me know this is all part of some plan or something and you don't really believe all this crap. At least let Chae Won have a chance to tell her side of the story. C'mon!

But no, Se Yoon walks away. A shocked Chae Won thinks things over and at least figures out it was Joo Ri who sent the fake basket. And look, here's Joo Ri right now to once again warn you to quit your job or face further consequences.

Back in her office, Chae Won tries to call Se Yoon to talk about the misunderstanding. All she gets is his voicemail. She starts blurting out everything: how Joo Ri was the one who did the basket and the website and that she's Chae Won's former sister-in-law. 

Se Yoon leaves to have a meeting with EMIL but it really wasn't very important so I'm skipping it. He returns back to the office building. He's waiting for an elevator when Chae Won walks up. There's no more comraderie or even small talk between them. Chae Won bows out and starts to take the stairs instead. Midway up she stops and chides herself for not taking the elevator. She did nothing wrong so why should she slink away like this? Good words, Chae Won, but you don't seem to be listening to yourself.

Evil Mother-In-Law next meets with Hong Joo. The elder lady wants to take the not-quite-young lady to an oriental clinic that works wonders with getting women pregnant. EMIL wants Hong Joo to hurry up and reproduce. Hong Joo announces she has no plans whatsoever to have any kids. EMIL is not pleased. 

That evening back at the mansion, thinking Hong Joo may be on the pill or something to prevent pregnancy, EMIL comes into the couples' bedroom and starts to snoop. Little does EMIL know that they're using the best contraceptive known - abstinence. She's caught in the act by her DIL. Hong Joo, God love her, orders EMIL out of the room before she calls the police. But then she starts screaming like the crazy woman she is. Quick, get her into a mental hospital! Y'all are pros at this by now. 

Chul Goo and that scary Mrs. Park come running in to see what the hell all the screaming is about. The prison matron grabs Hong Joo and orders the other two out of the room. Chul Goo and his mother go downstairs to talk about what a crazy-ass woman Hong Joo is. You people should have asked for the CarFax on this girl before you brought her into the family.

Chae Won runs into Se Yoon and Joo Ri down in the lobby. Se Yoon won't even look at her. You asshole. He and Joo Ri get in his car and pull away, just missing Clingy Mom arriving at the building. Thinking her son is still working late, she's brought him something to eat. Seeing that he's already left, Clingy Mom is on her way out when she runs into Chae Won. The two women speak and this time Clingy Mom learns Chae Won's name. Chae Won apologizes again for the accident with the drink earlier. Clingy Mom says not to worry about such petty things like that - what she should be sorry for is giving people such a hard time (meaning Joo Ri and her family.) Chae Won, understandably, is clueless about what Clingy Mom is going on about.

Chae Won can't even get home to worry about her own problems as she gets a phone call from Chul Goo going on about his problems. One could almost - almost - feel sorry for the poor bastard at this point, what with being married to a crazy woman and having Satan's leavings as his mother and all.

While Hong Joo is knocked out with meds, EMIL tries to pump Mrs. Park for info. Was Hong Joo this crazy back at home? The prison matron keeps her lips sealed. Meanwhile Joo Ri is getting absolutely smashed at the bar. Stupid move, Joo Ri. Do you think you're impressing Se Yoon by getting shit faced in front of him? He finally has to pull her away from the bar. Thankfully he's got the presence of mind to hire a driver since they've both been drinking. Se Yoon starts to tell the driver to drop Joo Ri off first but then he realizes he doesn't know her exact address and he can't ask her as she's out cold. 

As the writers would have it, Joo Ri's cell phone rings. Se Yoon looks at it and sees the incoming call is from "Mom" so he answers it. Again as the writers would have it, Se Yoon doesn't recognize EMIL's voice as he asks for Joo Ri's address. EMIL stays out of sight as Se Yoon simply leaves a drunk Joo Ri at her front door. Doesn't even wait to see if she gets inside safely. Ah, chivalry is dead. 

As he has the driver start to take him to his own home, a buzzed Se Yoon suddenly thinks to himself that the outside of Joo Ri's house sure looks a lot like the outside of Chae Won's house back when she was married. He has the car turn around and goes back just in time to see EMIL and Chul Goo helping the stumbling Joo Ri inside. Se Yoon goes on to finally make the connection that EMIL is Joo Ri's mother.
