Chapter 7 — Cracks Under Light

"Lam Van, don't forget that your father's small shop is still renting space from Chu's relatives." My mother just ran from the hallway and heard that sentence, her face immediately changed. "What do you mean?" Chu's mother saw her and definitely stopped pretending: "I mean, as a human being, you should leave a line. If Van Van insists on forcing Nhuoc Ninh, everyone will look bad." Father's small watch repair shop is the main source of income for her. my family. My mother was so angry that her voice trembled: "You used the store to threaten us?" Chu's mother said: "I'm just reminding." I looked at Chu's mother and suddenly felt extremely foolish. Before, she used to pat my head and say that girls must have courage. Now she herself wants to break my spine. Chu Nghien Tu frowned: "Mom, stop talking." Chu's mother glared at him: "Are you still protecting it? It's about to destroy Nhuoc Ninh!" My father quickly walked towards the elevator, still holding the key to the store: "We don't rent that space anymore." My mother quickly said: "Mr. Lam." My father put the key in front of Chu's mother: "Move out tomorrow." Chu's mother did not expect him to do it for real: "Don't be excited. That store is already open." ten years, the regular customers are all in that area." My father said: "My daughter is more important than the store." At that moment, my throat choked. Chu Nghien Tu looked at my parents and then at me: "Lam Van, are you satisfied with this level of chaos?" I did not answer. In the restoration room, Ms. Luong's assistant suddenly ran out: "Miss Luong, it's not okay. The backstage notebook disappeared. Now it's impossible to check who entered the restoration area last night." Ms. Luong's face changed. Tham Nhuoc Ninh's hand quickly touched the bag. I see. Chu Nghien Tu also saw it, but immediately looked away. Uncle Phuong looked at Tham Nhuoc Ninh: "Girl, what's in your pocket?" Tham Nhuoc Ninh took a half step back: "What do you mean?" I stepped forward: "Open." Chu Nghien Tu blocked in front of me: "Lam Van, don't be too much." I looked at him: "What if the notebook is in her pocket?" He said: "No way." I asked: "Do you dare to bet?" Tham Nhuoc Ninh's face gradually turned pale. Of course, Chu Nghien Tu did not bet. He just said: "Rigging through the bag is an invasion of privacy. Lam Van, when did you become so uneducated?" Uncle Phuong was so angry that the old glasses on the bridge of his nose were askew: "The notebook is gone, checking the bag is the most direct way." Chu's mother immediately defended Tham Nhuoc Ninh: "Who dares to search Nhuoc Ninh's bag? She is a girl from a good family." My mother laughed coldly: "Isn't that my daughter?" Chu's mother did not look at her. Ms. Luong was in a difficult position: "General Manager Chu, this book is very important. Inside there is a list of people who have come into contact with the exhibits. Tomorrow the superiors will check." Chu Nghien Tu said: "I will have someone help you find it. Nhuoc Ninh's health is not good, don't scare her." Tham Nhuoc Ninh stood behind him, whispering: "Nghien Tu, you really didn't take it." I asked: "Why did I tell you to take it?" She choked up. words. Chu Nghien Tu looked at me: "Isn't that what you mean?" I said: "Just now she touched her pocket." "When stressed, everyone has small actions." "Then open it." Tham Nhuoc Ninh suddenly raised her head: "Miss Lam, if I don't have it in my pocket, will you apologize to me?" I said: "Okay." Chu Nghien Tu frowned: "Nhuoc Ninh." Tham Nhuoc Ninh seemed to have made a decision. Confused, gave the bag to Ms. Luong: "Check it. I want to prove my innocence." Ms. Luong opened the bag. Inside were only a powder box, tissues, a bottle of medicine and a small jade button. No notebook. Chu's mother immediately laughed coldly: "Lam Van, apologize." Tham Nhuoc Ninh's eyes turned red: "There's no need. Maybe Miss Lam just wants to prove herself." Chu Nghien Tu stared at me: "What else do you have?"

to say? "I looked at that jade button. It wasn't Tham Nhuoc Ninh's thing. It was an old button hanging on my grandmother's rattan vase. I had locked the vase at home, why was the button in her pocket? Uncle Phuong also saw it, his expression immediately changed. I reached out to take it, but Tham Nhuoc Ninh quickly snatched the bag back: "Are you done checking?" I said: "Where did that jade button come from?" Nhuoc Ninh held the bag in her arms: "What jade button?" Chu's mother lost patience: "What do you want to drag out again?" I looked at Chu Nghien Tu: "Tell her to take it out." He frowned: "Lam Van, it's just a small piece of jewelry, do you want to rob it?" Uncle Phuong said in a low voice: "That's not a normal piece of jewelry." Tham Nhuoc Ninh immediately said: "This is a relic left by my mother." again." I laughed. "Is your mother's name also Lam?" Her eyelids twitched. Chu Nghien Tu's voice became heavier: "That's enough. Nhuoc Ninh's mother died early, are you still using this to provoke her?" Tham Nhuoc Ninh bowed her head, her voice trembling: "Miss Lam, I know you hate me, but you can't even let my mother let go." Chu's mother stepped forward to support her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." I looked at Chu Nghien Tu: "Do you believe her?" He answered very quickly:
