Chapter 19 — Being Slagged by My Mother-in-Law in the Crowd, I Turned to Sell the House

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared again. He gave Giang Ha a one-way plane ticket to Quito — the capital of Ecuador. Same envelope.

“Inside is a bank card with 10,000 US dollars, the password is your new date of birth.”

“There is also a temporary residence over there.”

“What Ms. On Tinh did for you…”

“This is the end.”

“From now on, take care of yourself.”

Having finished speaking, the man turned around and left without any hesitation. Giang Ha was "escorted" by two bodyguards dressed in black through a special entrance and then directly onto the plane. The plane took off. Penetrate into the clouds. He watched the land under the window become smaller and smaller. The land that gave birth and raised him. His eyes were as empty as ashes. He survived. But also completely became a rootless ghost. At the same time. I am with the team organizing a celebration party in the homestay's outdoor restaurant. Congratulations on our resort being voted the most beautifully designed resort hotel of the year. Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. The atmosphere was extremely bustling. The phone on the table vibrated slightly. It's a message from lawyer Truong. There are only four words.

“Trash has been processed.”

I looked at those four words. The corners of the lips curled slightly. I raised the glass of champagne in front of me and stood up. Look at your employees. My friends. My relatives. Show a brilliant smile.

"Everybody."

“Thank you for all your efforts and companionship during this time.”

“All the old stories…”

“It's all over.”

“Let us for a better future…”

The cheers echoed high into the sky. I raised my head and drank the glass of champagne in my hand. The taste of the wine is sweet and mild. Carry the scent of victory. From this moment. My life… There will be no more darkness. The sky is high and the sea is wide. Let me spread my wings and fly away. Time passes quickly like flowing water. Two years have passed. Those two years were the period when the domestic tourism industry boomed strongly. It was also the two years when my career developed dramatically.

“Van Gian Thuy Ngan”…

It is no longer a small homestay in Hai Duong Bay. It became an icon. A chain resort brand that represents premium quality and ultimate style. From Sanya to Dali. From Huangshan to Xishuangbanna. Each "Van Gian Thuy Ngan" has become a local symbolic project, attracting countless tourists flocking to it. My name... Also began to continuously appear in financial magazines and trade forums. People call me "Homestay Queen". "The most beautiful young female CEO in the world of culture and tourism". They were amazed at my business mind and ability to act. But very few people know... I used to be just a housewife resigned to being married, being scolded by my mother-in-law at will. Those old stories... I didn't mean to hide them. But never actively mentioned it. They are like the mud I once walked through under my feet. Even though it leaves traces... But it has long since ceased to be enough to stop me from moving forward. My parents also completely adapted to life in Sanya during these two years. Their bodies are nourished by the sunlight and air here and become increasingly healthy. Dad loves sea fishing. Every day I go out to sea with my old friends, bragging and competing to see who can catch the bigger fish. Mom joined the neighborhood dance team. Wear beautiful dresses every day, smile to the point of nothing closed mouth. The smiles on their faces... It's the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in my life. And Tran Khai. He is still the most effective partner. The friend I trust the most. Our company has now changed its name to "Ten Thousand Miles of Heaven Group". It means that the future ahead is open and cloudless. He is in charge of engineering and operations. I'm in charge of strategy and branding. We coordinate well and complement each other perfectly. Over the past two years... He looked at me more than once with those careful but expectant eyes. I understand what you mean. But I always pretend like I don't understand. It's not that I'm not moved. Once bitten by a snake. Ten years of being afraid of ropes. I'm afraid to once again tie my life to a man. I like the current feeling even more. It's all in my hands. Until my thirtieth birthday. Tran Khai does not hold lavish parties. He only covers the stargazing bar on the homestay's rooftop. There are no others. It's just the two of us. He personally mixed me a cocktail called "Hei Quang". The blue wine under the starlight is like a clear night sky. He raised his glass, his eyes extremely serious.

"Happy birthday."

I smiled and clinked my glass with him. We talk a lot. From the difficult early days of starting a business to its current glory. From interesting stories from student days to imagining the future. The atmosphere… When he took me to my room. Right in front of the door. He suddenly mustered up the courage to call me back.
