Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — After My Husband Passed Away I Take Care Of My Mother-in-law Alone
I looked at the man in front of me and suddenly realized that all this time I had treated him too well. I met Dan Hang when I repaired my car. He proactively asked for my number and sent messages every day to share about luxury car care. After getting to know each other, he quickly proposed marriage. Now that I think about it, it was all just for money. That's why when he was seduced by Liu Cam, he could easily betray me like that. Recently, Trieu Duong company has shown signs of bankruptcy, Liu Cam is angry all day and vents his anger on him. Seeing the bad situation, he remembered me. Dan Hang sent me many messages, but I didn't bother to reply. Unexpectedly, today he boldly came all the way here.
“Snow, can you hear me?”
I smirked.
"I heard it, but unfortunately I have a new boyfriend. Go tell Aunt Liu, I will never come back again. Tell her to throw away all my things."
At that time, I did not expect that this statement would anger Liu Cam, causing her to come up with an even more dirty plan. I signaled the security guard, Dan Hang was quickly dragged out. From that moment on, Peng Dich Thien began to openly pursue me more strongly. That evening, the group held a success party. I invited all staff to attend the party. While drinking, Peng Dich Thien suddenly gently pinched my hand.
“Lam Tuyet Tinh, don't drink too much.”
I waved my hand and staggered to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I saw my face was red, looking a bit stupid like when I first graduated from college. But now, everything is different. I smiled weakly at myself. As soon as I turned around, I saw Peng Dich Thien leaning against the hallway wall, staring at me. I laughed.
"Mr. Tieu Peng, to be honest, if I were a few years younger, I would definitely like you."
As soon as I finished speaking, my steps staggered, I lost my balance, and my whole body fell straight into his arms. He smiled softly, his breath gently fanning my face, his index finger circling the top of my head.
“There's still time.”
He leaned down, but before he could do anything, I proactively kissed him on the lips.
"General Manager Lam, are you okay..."
My assistant hurriedly ran to the bathroom door. Peng Dich Thien waved his hand and interrupted.
“General Manager Lam has important matters to deal with, everyone can eat and drink comfortably, no need to worry about money.”
His voice was filled with gritted teeth.
"Thank you, general manager Lam! Thank you, general manager Lam!"
After the assistant left, Banh Dich Thien carried me into the elevator, bit my ear lightly, his tone carrying a bit of dissatisfaction.
“My assistant really has no eyes.”
From that day, Banh Dich Thien officially became my boyfriend. His friends exclaimed.
“I told you, you two can't just have a normal relationship.”
He also took me to meet his father - old Chairman Banh. Even though he is over fifty, he is still very healthy. He smiled, reached out and patted my head.
“The last time I saw you, you were still a child.”
Then he sighed.
"Daughter, you suffered at the Ton family. If I die in the future, I won't have the face to see your parents again."
I shook my head.
"I'm not miserable, uncle. If you're really afraid of meeting my parents, then you must live to be a hundred years old."
After the group stabilized, Banh and I Dich Thien decided to go on a trip. The night before the departure, Dan Hang suddenly appeared at my house. He used the key to open the door.
“Snow, do you miss me?”
When I discovered him, he was standing right in the middle of the living room. I was negligent and forgot he still had the house key. I coldly said: "Get out, otherwise I'll call the police." He smirked.
“Calm down, I came to share something interesting with you.”
He pulled out his phone and opened a surveillance video. The screen showed Liu Cam lying on the bed, next to her was Peng Dich Thien. Her voice was soft, carrying a bit of weakness.
"Tieu Thien, my chest is a bit tight and my legs are cramping, can you help me massage it?"
Bang Dich Thien said nothing. Dan Hang gloated.
“See, Snow! He's not a nice guy either!”
On the screen, Liu Cam lifted his leg, his foot wearing a leather stocking slowly moved towards Peng Dich Thien. Just as he was about to touch, he immediately backed away, leaning against the wall.
"Tieu Thien, there are only two of us in the room now, only you can help me."
“I'm also a widow, you can help me in any way you want.”
Bang Dich Thien nodded, curled his lips and smiled faintly.
“No matter how you help, right?”
“Of course.”
He turned around, walked to the door, and locked it tightly. Before Liu Cam could react, he decisively walked out. I can also conveniently carry my laptop in my hand. Less than a minute later, my phone rang. On the video screen, Peng Yitian frowned and complained.
"Lam Tuyet Tinh! Why did you leave your laptop at Ton's house? Did you know that it was in there to log in to your WeChat account? You almost killed me!"
It turns out, Liu Cam used my WeChat account to text Peng Dich Thien. She said I forgot too many things and couldn't take them all away, so she asked him to help. When the camera changed direction, Banh Dich Thien saw Dan Hang standing next to me.
“Why is he there?”
I held the phone and turned to Dan Hang.
“Open the door yourself.”
“Wait there, I'll be right there.”
The call ended, Dan Hang immediately turned pale and ran out in panic. From that day on, he completely disappeared from Beijing. Peng Dich Thien and I went to Yunnan and stayed for three months. On my return, I heard some news.
“The Ton family is about to go bankrupt.”
I went with Banh Dich Thien to Trieu Duong company - where Ton Chieu Duong and I co-founded, where I poured so much of my heart and soul. Liu Cam is surrounded by reporters. As soon as she saw me, she immediately rushed forward and grabbed me tightly.
"Lam Tuyet Tinh! Quickly think of a way! You can't let the company go bankrupt!"
She turned towards the reporter, raising her voice.
"She is the daughter-in-law of the Ton family, the general director of Lam Thi Group! With her, the Ton family will not collapse!"
"Lam Tuyet Tinh! Say something!"
I looked straight at her and slowly spoke.
“Aunt Luu, I want to clarify two things.”
“First, I am no longer the daughter-in-law of the Ton family.”
“Second, the Ton family matter has nothing to do with me.”
“So, please don't drag me in anymore.”
I refused to be interviewed, Peng Dich Thien told me to leave the crowd. Behind, Liu Cam still refused to give up.
“My son married you and made you a proud wife!”
“Miss Enjoying so many benefits from the Ton family, do you want to wash your hands of it now?
She turned the lens towards her and screamed loudly.
“Everyone, look closely! This woman is ungrateful! If you see her, never miss it!”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I turned around, pulled the documents out of my pocket, and threw them right in her face.
“Look closely. This is the letter your son wrote to me a long time ago!”
“In the letter, it was written very clearly that this company was completely created by me. Without me, you would not have the glorious life you have today!”
“He promised to make it up to me, but before he could, he left. So, I have never owed the Ton family anything!”
After Ton Chieu Duong passed away, the entire burden of the Ton family fell on my shoulders. Liu Cam was stunned, picked up the letter and read it voraciously. She couldn't accept the fact that her pride, her fortune, all depended on the daughter-in-law she always despised. Her eyes were red and she shouted angrily behind me.
“Lam Tuyet Tinh! Do you dare to go?!”
“Once you leave, don't ever go back to the Ton family again!”
I stopped for a moment, then spoke softly.
“The Ton family is no more.”
“Ah, I almost forgot to tell you something.”
"You don't have the last name Ton."
I walked out of the company, behind me, Liu Cam fell to the ground. There were commotions all around.
“She... peed her pants again!”
I didn't bother to turn around, just squeezed Peng Dich Thien's hand and left. Afterwards, Liu Cam fell ill. She texted me many times and asked someone to find me, hoping I would come back and take care of her. Daydreaming in the middle of the day? Now, I have both a career and love. The corporation is growing more and more, and I have a handsome man by my side. Who has the free time to waste time with an old lady? That night, Peng Dich Thien pulled the blanket over me.
“Dear wife, what do you want to do tomorrow?”
I gently stroked his toned abs with my hand, smiling meaningfully.
“Do whatever you want, after all we have the rest of our lives together.”
