Chapter 13 — After Divorce, I Am a Real Angel

“I accept.” I said.

Ms. Lam looked at me in surprise: "Are you really going to accept? To Nghien, if you don't want to, I can think of a way to refuse..."

“No need.” I smiled, "Isn't it just about designing a jewelry set? I accept. Besides, I will make her 'satisfied'."

Lam hesitated and wanted to stop talking, then finally sighed: "Then be careful, that Ms. To... is not easy to deal with."

“I know.”

Why didn't I know? To Tuyet, the true gold in the name of the To family, the person in Pho Kinh Nghien's heart. On the outside, he is gentle and kind, but in reality he has a deep heart. Over the past three years, I have eaten many bitter fruits from her, morning and night. I understand her tricks best. After work, I went to the library to borrow a few jewelry design books, then browsed the stalls in the mall to see the latest designs. What style does To Tuyet like? She likes gorgeous, dazzling things, likes to be surrounded like bright stars surrounding the moon, likes everyone to revolve around her. Therefore, her jewelry must be flamboyant enough, sparkly enough, and attention-grabbing enough. A draft gradually formed in my head. When I got home, I opened the drawing board and started sketching. The tip of the pen glides across the electronic board, the lines are smooth, and very quickly, a set of phoenix-themed jewelry designs appears on the screen. The phoenix spreads its wings, splendid and majestic. Combined with To Tuyet, the real goddess in the name of lust and fire, reborn from Cinderella to princess, the story is so touching. I raised the corner of my lips. At the phoenix's eye, there was a tiny black gem. Like the tears of a phoenix, but also like… burned traces. After finishing the draft, it was two o'clock in the morning. I saved the file, turned off the computer, and went to the window. Deep in the night, the city is still brightly lit. The phone screen lit up, it was a text message from an unknown number: "To Nghien, let's meet. About your background, I have something to say. — To Tuyet" I stared at the message, smiling. Finally arrived. * The meeting point is a high-class coffee shop in the city center. When I arrived, To Tuyet was sitting next to the window, wearing a Chanel suit, meticulous makeup, holding a cup of coffee, elegant as if taking a photo for a magazine. Seeing me, she smiled gently and waved: "To Nghien, over here." I walked over and sat down opposite.

"What do you want to drink? I'll call you." She sounded friendly, as if we were really good sisters.

“No need, thank you.” I got straight to the point, "You said you wanted to discuss my background, what did you want to say?"

The smile on To Tuyet's face faded a bit, she put down the coffee cup, sighed: "Sister To Nghien, don't be so hostile to me. I know, in your heart you blame me, thinking that I stole your things. But honestly, I don't want to do that either. If it weren't for the incident that year, we wouldn't be in this situation."

“What happened?” I looked at her.

To Tuyet bit her lip, as if making great determination: "Actually, I wasn't carried by mistake, I was... kidnapped." My heart skipped a beat, but my face didn't change color: "How do you know?"

“Dad... no, after To Quoc Vi was arrested, mom had a mental breakdown and accidentally said something.” To Tuyet lowered her voice, “She said that the fire that year was not an accident, but something that happened The person intentionally set the fire to take advantage of the chaos to exchange the baby. Furthermore… that person is most likely related to the Pho family.”

The Pho family? I clutched my coffee cup.

“Please explain clearly.”

"I don't know specifically. Mom passed out before she finished speaking." To Tuyet's eyes filled with tears, "But I overheard her talking to the lawyer, saying that back then, the Pho family's grandfather might have known well, even... could have been the mastermind."
