Chapter 13 — After Mom Remarried, I Inherited 40% of the Shares

"So that I can have a legal identity."

"Also to protect you and your mother from the forces behind my family."

"Dad used a huge amount of money to sign an agreement with Phuong Van Tinh."

"That deal is..."

"She'll fake being pregnant."

"And after you were born."

"It will be in my legal mother's name."

"Dad guaranteed her a lifetime of wealth and prosperity."

I felt my hands shaking. A long time later. I just continued reading.

"Nem Niem."

"From birth."

"You've been living a lie."

"Phuong Van Tinh has never loved her child like a mother."

"Between her and me."

"Only transactions."

"Only responsibility."

"That's also the reason after dad passed away."

"She could have easily given up on me like that."

Tears could no longer be controlled. Quietly falling onto the page. In the end everything has an explanation. Distant eyes from childhood. Times of impatience. The times when she chose to abandon me. It's not because I'm not good enough. It's not because I'm not good enough. But because in the first place... I was never your daughter. The motherly love that I have always craved. It turned out to be just a contract with a price clearly stated. How sad. It's also ridiculous. I wiped my tears. Continue reading.

"My biological mother, Khuong Hoa."

"Not long after giving birth."

"Died due to postpartum hemorrhage."

"She passed away very peacefully."

"Her last wish was only one."

"That means I hope you are safe."

"Have fun growing up."

The lines below began to blur.

"But Dad couldn't do it."

"Dad broke his promise."

"I can't be by your side to watch you grow up."

"I can't protect you when you need it most."

"That's what I regret the most in this life."

"Finally, I still have something to tell you."

I took a deep breath. Continue reading the last lines.

"You separated my biological father and mother..."

"It's my stepmother."

"It's also the person that I have to call grandmother in name."

"Her name is Trieu Thuc Phan."

My hand suddenly tightened on the letter.

"That is an extremely cruel woman."

"For her own purposes, she can do anything."

"All these years."

"Dad always protects me very carefully."

"Never let her know your true identity."

"But after dad passed away..."

"She will definitely find every way to target Hung Su Group."

"Trieu Thuc Phan also has a son."

"That's dad's half-brother."

"Hua Zhenhua."

"The two of them are like hungry wolves who never know enough."

"If one day..."

"They found you."

"Remember what dad said."

"Don't believe anything they say."

"Don't be soft-hearted either."

"Because they will be the same way they treated your mother that year."

"Swallow me until there's nothing left."

"Protect yourself."

"Daddy's daughter."

Hua Chan Hung. The letter ends. I sat there quietly. Tears blurred the entire page. Where I can't see. Dad has shouldered too many things alone. He used his wings. Create a fake sky for me. But peaceful. Until the last moment of life. He is still paving the way for me.

"Miss..."

Lawyer Tan gave me a tissue. Eyes full of worry. I shook my head. Dry your tears.

"I'm okay."

I carefully folded the letter. Put into the envelope. Then keep it close to your body. It's like holding the most precious thing in the world. I raised my head to look at lawyer Tan.

"Help me investigate you two."

"Young lady, keep talking."

"Trieu Thuc Phan."

"Hua Zhenhua."

"I want all the information about them."

"The more detail the better."

My eyes turned cold. I fight with Phuong Van Tinh. It's to get back what belongs to you. And now. I want to fight for my dad. Fight on behalf of your biological mother. To reclaim a debt they have never been able to collect. Trieu Thuc Phan. Hua Chan Hoa. What you owe my family... I will make you pay it back tenfold. Right at that moment. The phone in my pocket rang. It's a strange number from Beijing. I pressed listen. An older woman's voice rang out. Sounds luxurious. But it makes people feel cold.

"Nem Niem, right?"

"I'm your grandmother."

"My dad passed away."

"It must be very difficult for you to be outside alone."

"Go home."

"Go back to grandma."

Just through one phone call. I could also sense the hypocrisy behind that voice. Trieu Thuc Phan. She still comes. Even faster than I thought. I immediately changed my tone. Bring some caution. With enough weakness. Deal with this kind of old fox. You have to let the opponent think you are prey first.

"Who is that?"

I asked in a low voice.

"This stupid girl."

The voice on the other side immediately became more familiar.

"I am your father's mother."

"It's my grandmother."

"For many years my health has not been good."

"I've always been abroad recuperating."

"Just returned home not long ago."

"If I knew you would have to endure so much frustration..."

"I didn't let anything happen."

Those words were soft and perfect. If you don't read dad's letter. Maybe I really will be fooled.

"That woman named Phuong Van Tinh is really worthless."

"My father just passed away not long ago."

"She brought another man into the house."

"You still dare to bully me."

"Exaggerated!"

She scolded Phuong Van Tinh without mercy. Obviously wants to stand on the same front line as me. Step by step close the distance.

"Nem Niem."

"Now she's back."

"No one can bully you anymore."

"Let the adults handle matters at the company."

"A little girl like you."

"What's the point of worrying about those things?"

"Go back to Beijing."

"She prepared me for the best school."

"The best life."

"In the future you will be the only heir of the Hua family."

"What you have..."

"It's all mine."

A beautiful scenario is drawn. Let go of the company. About Beijing. Be a noble man without any worries or thoughts. Sounds fascinating. I'm not a three-year-old. Dad said it very clearly. Trieu Thuc Phan's only purpose was to get me out of Hung Su Group. To her biological son. Hua Chan Hoa. Logic into chapters takes over everything. I took a light breath. Then let your voice tremble.

"Grandma..."

The other party was immediately happy.

"My good grandson!"

"I finally accept you!"

I choked on purpose.

"I'm here alone..."

"It's really scary..."

"It's okay!"

"No problem!"

"I'll send someone to pick you up immediately!"

Trieu Thuc Phan's voice was full of excitement.

"Your uncle is working near you."

"Hua Zhenhua."

"I'll tell him to come right away."

"I sent you the address."

"Just stay there and wait."

I obediently replied. Then hang up. Right at the moment of the phone screen turn it off. The weak look on my face disappeared completely. Instead... It was cold to the bone. The prey has taken the bait. It's the hunter's turn to appear.
