Chapter 10 — After He Switched Brides On The Ceremony

She looked at me. Lips gradually turn white. I pushed a file in front of her. That is the record of the conversation between her and Ta Van Chau.

"Where did you get it?"

"The Ta group's legal department gave it to me."

She opened the file. Fingertips began to tremble. In the text message, she asked Ta Van Chau:

"When will Miss Dung's wedding dress be delivered to the manor?"

"The brooch is also at your place, right?"

"If I go on the red carpet, will she really be angry?"

Right below are each of Ta Van Chau's answers.

"No, she's very understanding."

"I'll ask her to cooperate."

"It's just a game."

To Nghien closed the file.

"These don't prove anything."

"They prove you know."

"I'm just asking."

"You even asked if after the wedding Te Ngan would merge into the Ta group or not."

Her hand stopped.

"That was Van Chau's decision."

"You once asked him if I would hand over the shares."

She raised her eyes and her voice was very soft.

"I have no malice."

"The things you want to have, none of them have ever been won by yourself."

Her cheeks twitched slightly.

"On what basis do you say that to me?"

"Based on the fact that right now you are sitting in my office, holding my mother's relics in your hand, but still telling me that you have no evil intentions."

Suddenly she jumped up. The box hit the corner of the table. The brooch inside rolled out and fell to the floor. The silver needle immediately broke in half. A crisp "click" sounded in the reception room. To Nghien lowered her head to look at the brooch. Suddenly burst into tears.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"I didn't force you to drop it."

"You just want to see me become like this."

"You're wrong."

I bent down to pick up the brooch. Carefully place it in the evidence bag.

"I just want you to leave here."

She picked up her bag, turned around and walked out. Go to the door and stop.

"Van Chau will not always be like this."

"What happens to him is no longer relevant to me."

"You thought you won?"

I looked at her.

"I've never competed with you."

She pushed the door open. Outside, Ta Van Chau is standing on the steps. Apparently he heard the last words. Seeing him, To Nghien stopped walking.

"Van Chau..."

He didn't look at her. My eyes only stopped on the evidence bag in my hand.

"The brooch... is broken?"

"I will compensate."

"No need."

"I'll fix it."

"Can't fix it."

He couldn't say another word. To Nghien wiped her tears and walked to his side.

"Van Chau, let's go home."

Only then did he look at her.

"You go first."

"Aren't you going to take me home?"

"Go home on your own."

Her face immediately turned pale. I turned around and went back to the office. Don't look at the two of them again. There were footsteps outside the door. In the end, it all gradually disappeared. I put the brooch in my mother's jewelry box. That evening, I contacted a restoration expert. The worker looked at the broken silver needle and asked:

"Do we need to restore the status quo?"

"No need."

"So how do you want to handle it?"

"Leave the fracture intact."

【Chapter 11】 Ta Van Chau doesn't text me anymore. His name also disappeared from the notifications on my phone, and the online discussions also gradually disappeared move on to another topic. Te Ngan started accepting orders to organize weddings again. I request the whole team to amend the reception regulations at the manor, cancel all additional performances that have not been confirmed in writing by both parties, and all wedding dresses and personal items must be directly signed by the owner. An employee asked me:

"Do we need to cancel the blind box performance?"

"Still keeping it?"

"You can withdraw gifts."

"But don't withdraw."

After the new regulations were announced, Te Ngan's number of wedding orders increased. Many girls, when coming for consultation, specifically ask:

"If someone makes fun of me during the wedding, how will you handle it?"

The customer service department unanimously replied:

"We will immediately stop the ritual and protect the person involved to leave the scene."

I looked at the data on the system and signed each copy in turn to confirm. Things that I once took for granted are finally starting to be taken seriously. A month later, the Ta group held a conference with creditors. I also received an invitation to attend, because Te Ngan is still one of the largest suppliers of the Ta group. The meeting room was packed with people. Ta Van Chau sat in the first position, in front of him was filled with contracts and books. He was much thinner, the shoulders of his suit were much wider, and the watch on his wrist had also changed to a normal model. After the meeting began, he explained in turn the plan to handle each debt of the Ta group. Someone asked:

"Mr. Ta, do you still continue to pursue the right to exploit Te Ngan manor?"

Ta Van Chau raised his head.

"Didn't the two sides discuss a merger before?"
