Chapter 4 — After the Day You Betrayed, I Found Myself

Look up at the deep blue sky of Dao Thanh - A Dinh. Unrealistically green. Clear green. Like a giant mirror... Clearly reflecting all the rotten things in my heart. The phone vibrates continuously. One news after another.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nhuoc Tinh, is there something wrong with your mind?"

"What do you mean?"

"Pick up the phone now!"

I didn't bother reading a single thing. Conveniently switch to silent mode. Then put the phone in your pocket. Go find the homestay hostess to check out. The owner helped me carry my suitcase to the car. Smiling asked:

"Girl, have you thought it through?"

I also laughed.

"Think it through."

"It's time..."

"Go collect debt."

She was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed and waved at me.

"Then go."

"I hope everything goes well."

I got in the car. Drive straight onto the winding mountain pass road. Destination on the map... Is Chengdu. It's that house. Calculated. At three o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived home. Chu Minh Hien's car is still parked downstairs. I recognized it immediately. Parking done. I dragged my suitcase upstairs. Insert the key. Push the door and step in. There are two people in the living room. One person is Chu Minh Hien. His face turned pale. Eyes glued to the phone screen. The remaining person... Is a strange girl. About twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Eyes curved as if smiling. The kind of sweetness that makes others feel sympathetic at first glance. I've seen her before. On the circle of friends. Saw me coming in. She paused. Then unconsciously took a step back, standing close to Chu Minh Hien. Chu Minh Hien jumped up from the sofa. He stared at me. Mouth opened and closed several times. Only then could I speak.

"You know?"

I dragged my suitcase into the house. Handily close the door.

"I already knew three months ago."

The whole living room immediately fell silent. Lam Tu Vu frowned. Turn to look at Chu Minh Hien.

"You already knew three months ago?"

"Nhuoc Tinh..."

Chu Minh Hien was just about to speak. I calmly interrupted.

"Chu Minh Hien."

"Get rid of all your stuff."

"Move out immediately today."

His expression immediately changed. Quickly take a step forward.

"Nhuoc Tinh, listen to my explanation first."

"The thing between you and Tu Vu is actually..."

"I don't need to hear an explanation."

I looked straight into his eyes. The voice was calm and cold.

"What I need..."

"All my things disappeared from this house."

Lam Tu Vu suddenly spoke up.

"Calm down a bit."

"The love story of an adult cannot be explained clearly in just a few sentences. Between him and you..."

I turned my head. Look straight at her. Don't say a word. Just watch quietly. That look made the smile on Lam Tu Vu's face stiffen. She opened her mouth. Can't continue talking anymore.

"You are Lam Tu Vu, right?"

I calmly looked at her.

"The name on the marriage certificate."

Her expression changed slightly. I continue to ask:

"The thing about you two getting married..."

"Does Chu Minh Hien's mother know?"

Almost immediately... Chu Minh Hien's face turned white. I already know the answer. She didn't know. In front of his mother... He always plays the role of a good boyfriend. The daughter-in-law you recognize... Is still me. I walked into the bedroom. Open the wardrobe. Take down Chu Minh Hien's clothes one by one. Then stuffed it all into his travel bag. Chu Minh Hien hurriedly followed. The mouth kept explaining:

"Nhuoc Tinh, please calm down."

"We can talk..."

"Between us..."

"There's nothing more to say."

I coldly interrupted. He stood dumbfounded for a few seconds. Then he asked hoarsely:

"So why..."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?"

I yanked the zipper of my luggage bag. Throw it on the bed. Then looked up at him.

"Because..."

"I've been waiting."

"Waiting for you to tell me yourself."

Chu Minh Hien was speechless. Couldn't utter a word.

"I waited for three months."

"But you didn't say it."

I walked to the desk. Pull out the key still stuck in the drawer. Place it on the table.

"Your keys."

Chu Minh Hien just quietly looked at the key. Immobility.

"And this."
