Chapter 14 — Being vetoed by all the judges, I deleted the manuscript and the whole embroidery world went crazy

Tong Lam still doesn't dare to say it in front of everyone. He was locked straight into the study room by the old lady. Tham Kieu cried and chased after her. But someone blocked me outside the door. When Hua Man Thanh was invited out of the Tong family's house. The reporters still followed and didn't let go.

“Master Hua!”

“Did you just admit to using your student's drawings?”

“Please explain about the fake contract and fake loan note?”

“Do other works by Cam Tu Phuong have similar impersonations?”

Hua Man Thanh used a handbag to cover her face. Her hair was half messed up. Completely lacking the usual elegance. I don't keep looking anymore. But go straight into the heavenly hall. On the long table. The damaged set of 《Phoenix Turtle》 is being spread out. Gold threads pile up like wounds. Khuong Dao followed in. Looking at the dress made me feel so sad that I frowned.

“Can it still be saved?”

I gently stroked the phoenix's tail. Where the threads have been severed.

“But I have to take half of it apart and redo it.”

The old lady stood at the door.

“Is there still time?”

I shook my head.

“There was no time to make a complete costume.”

The old lady paused. Tong Vu Vi immediately cried out.

“So what did you agree to just now?”

“Playing with the Song family?”

Khuong Dao turned his head.

“You shouted one more thing.”

“I hung you on the flower basket outside the gate.”

“Shut up!”

The old lady shouted at Tong Vu Vi. I keep saying:

"On the day of your birthday, you won't be able to fully complete it."

“But I can perfect the phoenix eye pattern on the shawl.”

“Combined with the old lady's old outfit.”

“And 《Phoenix Turtle》…”

“I want to start over again.”

Tong Vu Vi was not convinced.

“Based on what to take away?”

“The Song family has already made a deposit!”

I looked at the old lady.

“The deposit was given to Cam Tu Phuong.”

“Not for me.”

“If you want it back.”

“You can find Hua Man Thanh.”

The old lady looked at me for a long time. Then suddenly burst into laughter.

“Tough enough.”

Director Chau also walked in.

“The museum's restoration room can be used by you.”

“Quieter than the Song family.”

The old lady nodded.

“Then come to the museum.”

“The Song family will send guards.”

“Don't let anyone touch it.”

When Tong Lam walked out of the study room. Just heard that sentence. His expression became even more unsightly. He walked straight in front of me.

“Let's talk privately.”

Khuong Dao immediately interrupted.

“There's nothing to say.”

Tong Lam paid no attention to her. Just look at me.

“Today is my fault.”

“You didn't handle it well.”

“Kieu Kieu's side, I will tell her to apologize.”

“Don't push this online anymore.”

I cut off a faulty thread on the dress.

"It's late."

“It's already happening.”

Tong Lam clenched his jaw.

“Do you know how important the Song family's reputation is?”

I raised my head.

“Is my reputation not important?”

He tried to suppress his anger.

“I really wanted to marry you before.”

My hand stopped for a moment. Tong Lam thought he had a chance. The voice immediately softened.

“My personality is stubborn.”

“Family conditions are also not good.”

“But you never criticized me.”

“Kieu Kieu knows how to be a babe.”

“Knowing how to treat people.”

“I just find her pitiful.”

“Men sometimes take care of the weak.”

“It doesn't mean a change of heart.”

When Khuong Dao heard this, he felt nauseous.

“These words Save it and explain it to your ancestors."

I continued to remove the stitches.

“I care about her.”

“To the point of giving her the right to sign my name?”

Tong Lam frowned.

“That was Master Hua's arrangement.”

“I just push the boat along with the flow.”

“If anything.”

“Signing her name will make the longevity party go more smoothly.”

“I'm in the back working.”

“It's okay to receive money.”

“Isn't that good?”

I raised my head to look at him.

“So until now.”

“Do you still think I should stand behind?”

Tong Lam was upset.

“Do I have to fight for this one breath?”

“Offending everyone.”

“Is it worth it?”

An old but majestic voice rang out from the door. Tong Lam immediately stiffened. The old lady walked in with a cane. The sound of the stick hitting the floor echoed every beat.

“My mother passed away early.”

“I still think you're just being pampered too much.”

“I just found out today.”

“I'm so damaged that I don't have any bones left.”

“Grandma…”

“Don't call me.”

The old lady looked at him.

“The reporters haven't left yet.”

“Now get out.”

“Make everything clear.”

Tong Lam took half a step back.

“What should I say?”

The old lady looked straight at Tong Lam.

“Go out and tell everyone clearly.”

“Say that the one who took the initiative to cancel the marriage was you.”

“Say you betrayed first.”

“Say that Tham Kieu is not innocent.”

“Say that the Song family's formal attire was almost destroyed in your hands.”

Tong Lam's face turned pale.

“Do you want me to lose all face in front of everyone?”

The old lady coldly replied:

“It was you who embarrassed the Song family.”
