Chapter 5 — At this point, I don't need to act anymore

Kieu Man's cards... Came even faster than I thought. That same evening, she posted a photo online of herself in the hospital. The status line reads: Humiliated by his official wife in public, he almost couldn't keep his child. Even though it didn't mention my name directly... But every sentence and every word was aimed at me. Trinh's mother also shared that article with her relative group.

"People with money bullying pregnant women is truly unreasonable."

Early the next morning. In front of the gate of Van Dinh Group, many people had gathered. Everyone had their phones filming.

"Is that her?"

"I heard that he forced the little tam so much that he almost had a miscarriage."

"It's true that the rich lady is different."

As soon as I got out of the car... I saw Kieu Man standing right in front of the crowd. She wore a loose dress and her face was pale. Trinh's mother stood next to her and supported her. As soon as she saw me, Kieu Man's tears immediately fell.

"Miss Hua..."

"I just want to give birth to this baby safely."

"I won't fight with you anymore, Mr. Trinh."

The crowd immediately stirred.

"People have already given way to that point."

"Still not giving up?"

"Even the official wife can't be that cruel."

I walked in front of her.

"You said..."

"I force you?"

Kieu Man choked.

"I'm suspending your work."

"You even showed your private matters to the whole company."

Trinh's mother immediately responded.

"You wanted to force him to leave."

"I still want to harm the baby in her womb."

I rolled my eyes at the phones pointing at me.

"There have been many witnesses like this..."

"Let's make it clear today."

A look of panic flashed in Kieu Man's eyes. I took out a copy of the medical records.

"The hospital photo you posted yesterday..."

"It's a photo taken three months ago."

Kieu Man's face immediately changed. I keep saying:

"Yesterday..."

"She was not hospitalized at all."

"I'm at the spa doing treatment."

"Invoice payment..."

"It's all here."

The crowd immediately fell silent. Trinh's mother quickly interrupted.

"So what?"

"Are pregnant women not taken care of?"

I looked at her.

"Do not use old photos to deceive others."

Kieu Man gritted her teeth.

"I just..."

"Too scared."

I nodded.

"What about this?"

I took another copy of the message.

"She asked her friend to contact her social network accounts to post."

"Even the title..."

"You're also prepared."

"The goal is to turn me into the official wife who oppresses others."

Kieu Man immediately rushed forward to steal the documents. But Luc Hanh Chu stood right in front of me. The atmosphere in the crowd changed direction.

"So it's an act?"

"Take the whole baby out to sell carpets."

"It's truly too ungrateful."

Trinh's mother shouted impatiently.

"Everyone, don't let her fool you!"

I turned to look at her.

"Mrs. Trinh."

"Yesterday she said..."

"It's my fault I haven't had a child in six years."

"So today..."

"I also want to ask you a question."

"Have you seen your son's medical examination report..."

"Since three years ago?"

Trinh's mother's face... Instantly turned pale. Trinh Nghien just ran over. His voice became lower. I looked at him.

"What are you afraid of?"

Kieu Man also turned to look at Trinh Nghien.

"What medical examination report is that?"

Trinh Nghien's face was extremely ugly. But I don't continue. Just quietly put the documents back in my bag.

"Want know..."

"Tomorrow, at relatives' dinner, just ask him."

Trinh's mother immediately rushed forward.

"You can't come!"

I calmly replied:

"Wouldn't your family prefer to let relatives judge?"

"So tomorrow..."

"I will come personally."

The Trinh family's family dinner was held the next evening. At first, Trinh's mother wanted to cancel. But the story spread everywhere. All relatives heard the news, no one refused to be absent. When I arrived... The private room was full of people. Kieu Man was also present. She sat next to Trinh's mother, looking like half the boss of the Trinh family. As soon as he saw me, Trinh Nghien's face immediately darkened.

"You really dare to come."

I smiled softly.

"Didn't your mother invite me to arbitrate?"

Trinh's mother smiled coldly.

"If you want to arbitrate, then arbitrate clearly."

"Everyone is present today."

"You tell me."

"Married to the Trinh family for six years."

"I can't even give birth to a child."

"Our Trinh family wants a successor."

"What's wrong?"

Several relatives immediately nodded.

"It's hard to say, but it makes sense."

"It's a big deal for a couple not to have children."

Kieu Man bowed her head, pretending to be gentle.

"Uncle..."

"Don't talk anymore."

"Sister Hua will be sad."

I looked at her.

"You really know how to make others sad."

Trinh's mother snorted coldly.

"Please stop talking so much."

I took a medical examination report and placed it on the table.

"Three years ago..."

"Trinh Nghien once went to the doctor."

"The results show..."

"He needs treatment."

In the blink of an eye... The whole room was silent. Trinh Nghien stood up. I looked straight at him.

"This report..."

"You were the one who hid it."

"You told me again..."

"The person with the problem is me."

"Every year your mother forces me to take medicine."

"Go to the ceremony to pray for your child."

"Drink all kinds of folk medicine."

"Now..."

"You guys say the Trinh family cannot be extinct."
