Chapter 3 — 50 Years of Wrongfulness

As soon as the words ended, the surrounding chatter immediately stopped. Everyone looked at her at the same time, some frowned in confusion, some put down the melon seeds, their faces full of anticipation for a good show. "Stop it." The female worker sitting next to her sneered, threw the melon seed shell on the table, looked at To Nhu sarcastically: "The director has a fiancee, is it your turn to take care of her closely? Your past bad acts, more than half of the people in the factory have seen it, stop standing here pretending to be innocent to gain sympathy." To Nhu's face immediately panicked. Her eyes reddened, she stood up and said: "Forget it, Thanh Tu, I'm not happy. I don't know what you said to them that they insulted me like that. I don't need this anymore." Having said that, she covered her face and ran out, but after only running two steps, she crashed into Co Lam's arms as she entered the door. To Nhu's body stiffened, she took half a step back in panic: "Sorry..." Co Lam looked at her face full of self-pity, frowned: "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?" To Nhu shook her head slightly, tears like a broken string of pearls, falling continuously. "It's okay, Mr. Co. Maybe I made Thanh Tu misunderstand something before, now everyone says I take her place, and say I'm... the third person." Having said that, she raised her head again, looking at him pitifully: "My reputation is not important, I'm just afraid it will affect you." As soon as these words were uttered, someone immediately rolled their eyes in disdain without hiding it. Co Lam glanced at the crowd of people bowing their heads and chatting, her expression somber and scary. He took a step forward, pulling Tham Thanh Tu aside: "I told you to explain clearly, what kind of explanation did you give? Why are people still saying that to her?" Tham Thanh Tu looked at his concern, her heart aching slightly. Her voice was calm: "I explained exactly as you asked. Besides, I didn't say anything, how did I know others would say that to her?" "Okay, Mr. Co." To Nhu raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, walked over and softly advised: "Don't hurt the feelings between you and Thanh Tu because of me. Just pretend that someone else intentionally caused trouble, I don't care, I don't need it this time." In Tham Thanh Tu's heart, he only felt ridiculous. This seemingly generous concession from To Nhu, in fact, every sentence and every word confirms that she was the instigator. She is also lazy to explain. Next to her, Co Lam was consoling To Nhu in a low voice, patiently advising her: "There's no way I can take it back once you've given it to me. You know how important this opportunity is to you, don't act on your emotions." He gently patted To Nhu's shoulder. Waiting for her to stop crying, he turned to look at Tham Thanh Tu, his face darkened: "They won't talk nonsense for no reason. Now you have to apologize to To Nhu in front of everyone, seriously stating that this part is what you willingly gave up." "Sorry?" Tham Thanh Tu was so angry that he burst out laughing: "Have you clarified the whole story? As soon as you arrived, you realized that I instigated it, and asked you to apologize? People on earth are also angry, I consider you Tham Thanh Tu as a What kind of person?" Co Lam saw her face suddenly cold and couldn't help but be stunned. Everyone around saw this and said in turn: "That's right, director, you are too biased towards outsiders! My fiancee doesn't believe it, so she defends someone else." "Thanh Tu didn't say anything, it's just that we can't stand To Nhu's way of doing things!" Each person's sentence made To Nhu's face more and more unsightly. Seeing that Co Lam didn't say more, she tightened the corners of her shirt, cried and ran out. Co Lam instinctively wanted to chase, but because there were many people here, she had to stubbornly stop. His face turned pale and he glanced at everyone: "What happened today was just a misunderstanding. To Nhu is human

How, I understand clearly. The quota has been given to her, from now on everyone is a colleague, I don't want to hear any more rumors." The scene was suddenly silent. Halfway through the tea conversation, Co Lam clearly lost concentration. Before he had taken a few sips of tea, he quickly left under the pretense of having something to do. Tham Thanh Tu bowed his head and peeled the candy. The female worker next to her gave her a handful of melon seeds and comforted her: "Don't pay attention to him. It's better if he goes, let's talk more." Tham Thanh Tu nodded slightly and thanked in a low voice. When the tea session ended, it was already dark. Tham Thanh Tu had just stepped out of the great hall when he heard someone running up and shouting: "This is not good!" Something happened at the hospital, the director got into a fight with someone!" When Tham Thanh Tu ran to the hospital, as soon as she looked, she saw Co Lam's eyes were red, pressing a man to the ground. That familiar scene made her remember that he had protected her like that before. Co Lam's low, angry voice rang out not far away. "Next time you dare to come to the hospital to harass her, don't blame me for not being polite to you!" The man on the ground had a bruised face. He repeatedly bowed his head to make sure he wouldn't dare again. Only then did he let go.
