Chu Nghien Tu immediately hugged her: "Nhuoc Ninh!" Her voice was weak: "Nghien Tu, my hand hurts." I lowered my head to look. There was no wound on her hand, just a red patch. Chu Nghien Tu picked her up. As he passed me, he stopped: "I will remember today's story." I said: "Remember clearly." His steps stopped. I added: "Don't put the wrong name on someone else's head." After the exhibition ended, the blue-glazed porcelain vase was taken to the temporary restoration room. Ms. Luong personally guarded the door, her attitude was more than one level lower than before: "Miss Lam, tonight's luck is thanks to you. The matter of the consulting card was because I was confused." Uncle Phuong crossed his arms: "It's not about being confused, but if you see someone has power, bow to that person." Ms. Luong lost face: "Master Phuong, you're right to scold me." I laid out the tools one by one: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Tomorrow there is a private exhibition, we have to stabilize the vase first."Ms. Luong quickly nodded: "Everyone listens to you." Suddenly there was an argument outside the door. Chu Nghien Tu took Tham Nhuoc Ninh back, and Chu's mother also followed behind. Ms. Luong stopped them: "General Manager Chu, the restoration department can't just come in." Chu Nghien Tu's voice was unhappy: "I'm a sponsor." "Sponsors can't come in either." Chu's mother immediately raised her voice: "Manager Luong, you guys are also responsible for what happened on stage just now. Why is the base askew? Now that you've kicked Nhuoc Ninh down, are you going to let her alone bear the responsibility?" Ms. Luong gritted her teeth: "We will investigate the matter. of the base. Ms. Tham is not suitable to continue interacting with the exhibit." Tham Nhuoc Ninh's face turned pale and pitiful: "Miss Luong, I didn't come to take credit. I just wanted to confirm the condition of the vase. After all, I participated last night." Uncle Phuong came out from inside: "Participated in what? Did you participate in nearly breaking it?" Chu Nghien Tu's face darkened: "Master Phuong, Nhuoc Ninh has already apologized." look at them. Chu's mother saw me and immediately said: "Van Van, come out and say something. Nhuoc Ninh didn't mean it, you understand best." I put down the small knife: "What do you understand?" "I know she's honest, know she doesn't hurt people." I went to the door: "I just know she shouldn't have touched that vase." Tham Nhuoc Ninh's tears were about to fall again: "Miss Lam, you must force me to the point of no more." which way?" I asked: "Which way was I blocked?" She couldn't answer. Chu Nghien Tu stood in front of her: "Do you have to force people too much like that?" "Did I tell her to go on stage and take credit? Did I tell her to use her hand to press on the crack? Did I tell her to say in front of my mother that I was emotionally unstable?" Chu Nghien Tu's face froze. Chu's mother lost patience: "After all, it's still because of Nghien Tu. Van Van, I know you're upset, but love cannot be forced." Uncle Phuong laughed and scolded: "You Chu family really know how to put gold on your face." Chu Nghien Tu looked at me: "What do you want?" I said: "Tomorrow at the exhibition, tell her to explain clearly about last night and tonight." Tham Nhuoc Ninh immediately raised his head: "No." Okay.” Her reaction was so fast, even Chu Nghien Tu looked at her. She hastily added: "Tomorrow it's all elders and people in the profession. If I say it, it's tantamount to admitting I'm incompetent. Nghien Tu, teacher Hua will also come, you will be disappointed." Chu's mother nodded: "That's right. Nhuoc Ninh just returned to Nam Thanh, her reputation cannot be destroyed." I asked: "So can my reputation be destroyed?" Chu's mother blurted out: "I don't rely on this profession to make a living." Uncle Phuong beat me. Strong hand on the door frame: "Who says she doesn't rely on this profession to make a living?" Everyone

Everyone in the restoration room looked over. I looked at Uncle Phuong. He tried to swallow the second half of his sentence and angrily twisted the lid of the thermos. Chu Nghien Tu frowned: "Teacher Phuong, what do you mean?" Uncle Phuong snorted coldly: "It means you guys have blind eyes." Tham Nhuoc Ninh noticed Uncle Phuong's reaction, his eyes changed. She suddenly walked up to me and lowered her voice: "Miss Lam, I know you have some bravery. But do you have to step on me to prove yourself? You have been cared for by the Chu family for so many years. What about me? I only have this chance." She said very softly, just loud enough for Chu Nghien Tu to hear. Sure enough, Chu Nghien Tu's face became even colder: "Lam Van, Nhuoc Ninh is not like you. During the years outside, she suffered a lot." I looked at him: "So what?" "So you give in a step." "I gave in for twenty-three years." "Don't use the past to pressure people." I nodded: "Then just consider the present. Tonight she almost destroyed the vase, tomorrow she has to retreat." Tham Nhuoc Ninh c.n. bit his lip: "What if I don't withdraw?" "I will say it in front of everyone." Chu Nghien Tu's voice was cold as ice: "Do you dare?" I raised my eyes: "Just try." Outside the door there was silence for a few seconds. Chu's mother was so angry that she distorted her bag:
