Chapter 27 — After Divorce, I Am a Real Angel

Pho Kinh Nghien raised his head to look at me, his eyes filled with blood.

“So you see, is grandpa clean?”

I don't know. Old man Fu treated me well, is it true or false? Was the training he gave Pho Kinh Nghien love or exploitation? You said you were looking for me, were you really looking for me, or was it because you wanted to keep the Deputy? The human heart is so complicated, I can't see through it.

“I don't know.” I told the truth, "Now I don't trust anyone, I only believe in evidence."

Pho Kinh Nghien smiled, a bitter smile.

"That's right, proof. To Nghien, you're right, in this world the only proof is that you don't know how to deceive people."

He put the glass of water on the counter, took the phone out of his pocket, unlocked it, clicked on an encrypted folder and gave it to me.

“What is this?”

“These are documents about my grandfather that I have quietly collected over the years.” Pho Kinh Nghien said, "There are transaction records of your account, there is a history of your calls with a number of people, and also... investigation records of the accident that year."

I took the phone, my fingers shaking a bit.

“Have you suspected him for a long time?”

“It's not a doubt, it's a precaution.” Pho Kinh Nghien looked out the window, "My grandfather treated me very well, to the point of almost controlling me. Everything I did had to follow his plan. Going to school, working, getting married, even making friends, all had to go through his approval. I started to see something was wrong, so I paid a little attention and secretly collected some things. But I never thought that he was the murderer who killed my parents."

I browsed through the documents, and the more I looked, the more my heart sank. On the books, there are several huge sums of money transferred abroad, the identity of the recipient is unknown. In the call history, Mr. Pho contacted a number of people of unknown origin very often. The accident investigation records show that in that accident, the brake system was tampered with by someone else.

“These things… when did you start investigating?”

“Three years ago.” Pho Kinh Nghien said, "You married me. At that time, my grandfather forced me to marry you, his attitude was extremely tough. I found it strange so I started investigating. But I didn't expect to find out these things."

Three years ago. It turns out that for the past three years, Pho Kinh Nghien has been secretly investigating Old Man Pho. As for me, I didn't know anything, still holding on to his coldness and feeling hurt.

“Why didn't you tell me?” I asked.

“Tell me, then what?” Pho Kinh Nghien smiled bitterly, "For you to have to worry with me? For you to be caught up in this vortex? To Nghien, I admit that at first my motives for marrying you were not pure. But later, I truly wanted to protect you. I wanted to wait for everything to calm down, wait for me to clear away the dangers, then tell you the truth and give you a peaceful future. But I didn't expect that things would turn out like this."

I put down the phone, filled with emotions. Hate me? Hate it. Over the past three years, the hurt you caused me is real and cannot be erased. But right now, looking at his pale face, looking at the bandage on his shoulder, hearing him say "want to protect you", I couldn't bear to hate him.

“Pho Kinh Nghien.” I looked at him, "If, I mean if, Mr. Pho is really the murderer who killed my parents, what will you do?"

Deputy Kinh Nghien was silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

“I will make him pay, then… leave the Pho family, leave Giang Thanh, go to a place where no one knows us, and start again.”

“We?” I raised my eyebrows.

“Yes, we.” Pho Kinh Nghien turned, her eyes determined, "To Nghien, I know I don't have the right to say these words now. But I love you, it's true. For the past three years, every day I saw you by my side, I didn't dare to come close, afraid that you would know the truth, afraid that you would hate me, afraid that you would leave. Now everything
