Chapter 5 — Baby Vengeance

Lam Thu Dao stood up, smoothed her hair, the corner of her mouth still hung with that smile. "Nien Niem, what do you have that I don't have? Face? Body? Or luck?" She stopped and looked towards her father. "I knew him before you." 8 As soon as this sentence fell, even the air seemed to freeze. Dad's expression didn't have any fluctuations, he just opened his mouth leisurely. "So what? If we know each other first, should it be yours?" Lam Thu Dao's smile finally broke. "I've been with you for three years, since you were a poor kid I've been by your side. What about you? Turn around and marry her! Just because her dad can help you get your first investment?" Mom suddenly raised her head. "What?" Lam Thu Dao turned around and looked at her mother, her eyes filled with malice that had accumulated over the years. "Tham Niem, do you think he really loves you? You're just a marriage partner to bring resources. And I'm the one who's been by his side from start to finish." "That's enough." Dad stood up, his voice was not loud but the feeling of oppression was extremely strong. "Lam Thu Dao, there has never been any relationship between you and I. Your unrequited fantasy is not a reason for you to harm my wife and children." Lam Thu Dao's body staggered. "Unrequited?" Her voice became shrill. "You say it's one-sided? That year on your birthday, you got drunk and held my hand and said..." "I mistakenly identified you as Niem Niem." Dad interrupted her, his voice extremely cold. “I never liked you.” This sentence was like a basin of ice water, drenching Lam Thu Dao from head to toe. She stood there, her lips trembling, unable to speak for a long time. I lay in my mother's arms and looked at everything, suddenly understanding a little. Why was Lam Thu Dao in his previous life able to set such a deep trap? Not just for money and status. She really hates it. Hating her mother for "stealing" the person she considered belonged to her. But this type of hatred does not deserve sympathy. Because the way she chose was to destroy two innocent lives. Mom took a deep breath, put me in the stroller, then stood up and walked in front of Lam Thu Dao. "Lam Thu Dao, I don't want to hear your reasons." Mom's voice was very light, but each word carried the pain of twenty years of crushed trust. "You want Quy Nghien Chau, you can fight for it openly and honestly. But you choose to use my daughter as a weapon, choose to let a newborn baby carry the label of 'stepchild', choose to let My mother and I are going to die." Lam Thu Dao took a step back. "I don't want to let you two die..." "Evicted from the house empty-handed, honor swept away, do you think we can continue to live?" Mom's tears finally fell, but she didn't wipe them away. “You know better than anyone what the result will be.” Lam Thu Dao opened her mouth, speechless. Dad walked over and stood next to his mother. "Lam Thu Dao, I give you two options. First, you go to the police station and confess yourself, falsify appraisal reports, defame, lie, accept whatever you want. Second, within twenty-four hours, my team of lawyers will submit all the evidence. At that time, not only will it be criminal prosecution, every relationship in this world of yours, every business deal of yours, I will let you know." who investigated to the end.” Lam Thu Dao closed her eyes and stood for a long time. Then she opened her eyes and looked at me one last time. "Okay." Her voice seemed drained of all strength. "You win." She turned and walked out the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and didn't turn around. "Nim Niem, don't trust people in your next life." The door closed. Mother stood in place, tears streaming down her face, but the corner of her mouth had a very slight curve. Mom came and picked me up from the stroller and kissed my forehead. "Baby, it's okay." 9 The third day after Lam Thu Dao left, the police officially filed a case. Falsifying blood test reports, spreading false information that defames the reputation of others, suspicion of fraud

island. The person in charge of the appraisal facility, surnamed Liu, was the first to succumb and confess everything. Before being taken away, Lam Thu Dao posted a post on her friends circle. There are only three words: "No regrets." The attached photo is a very old photo, a photo of her and her father together, looking like a college scene. In the photo, dad smiles very youthfully, Lam Thu Dao stands next to dad, his eyes full of light. When mom saw this post, she was silent for a long time. "Qui Nghien Chau." Dad poked his head out from the office. "In college, did you really have nothing with her?" Dad walked over, glanced at the phone screen, frowned. "She is my roommate's girlfriend, we are in the same club. This photo was taken during a club activity, there were more than ten people in the background, she cut them all out." Mom looked at dad. "Really No?” “Nien Chi.” Dad squatted down, looked straight into her eyes. "You still don't understand me? If I really had anything with her, I wouldn't hide it from you." Mom stared at dad for three seconds, then locked the phone screen, threw it on the sofa. "Okay, I believe you. But Quy Nghien Chau..." Mom came closer, lowering her voice.
