Chapter 8 — Cracks Under Light

“I believe.” I asked: “Even if it's my grandmother's belongings?” An annoyed look flashed in his eyes: “What evidence do you have?” I said: “My family has photos.” “Then bring them here.” Tham Nhuoc Ninh suddenly lowered her voice: “Ngheng Tu, stop it. I don't want to continue causing trouble. If she likes it, I'll give it to her.” Those words turned me into a robber. The surrounding staff began to talk in low voices. Ms. Luong also looked at me hesitantly: "Miss Lam, maybe let this matter go for now. The notebook still hasn't been found." I stared at Tham Nhuoc Ninh's bag: "Can't let it go." Chu Nghien Tu blocked in front of me: "If you touch her again today, I won't be polite." I asked: "How are you going to be impolite?" Chu's mother immediately continued: "Your father's store doesn't have to wait until tomorrow, it can also be closed tonight." door." My mother angrily rushed forward but was stopped by my father. My father looked at Chu Nghien Tu: "Nghien Tu, how did Van Van treat you since childhood? Don't you have a notebook in your heart?" Chu Nghien Tu avoided his eyes: "Uncle, love affairs cannot be calculated by books." My father said: "What about being human?" Chu Nghien Tu did not answer. Tham Nhuoc Ninh suddenly hugged her chest, speaking weakly: "Nghia Tu, I'm upset." Chu Nghien Tu immediately helped her: "I'll take you to the hospital." I blocked the way: "Leave the jade button." He was completely angry: "Lam Van, don't force me to lay hands on you." Uncle Phuong immediately walked by: "Try to touch her." Chu Nghien Tu looked at Uncle Phuong, lowering his eyes. voice: "Teacher Phuong, this is the matter of the Chu family." "She is not from the Chu family." As soon as those words fell, Chu Nghien Tu's face became even more unsightly. Tham Nhuoc Ninh took advantage of the chaos and turned towards the hallway. I chase. Her foot slipped and her bag fell to the ground. Objects were thrown everywhere. The jade button rolled to my feet. At the same time, a folded piece of paper rolled out. Ms. Luong picked it up and opened it, her face immediately changed. "This is a page torn from the notebook." Tham Nhuoc Ninh shouted: "It's not mine!" Chu Nghien Tu stiffened on the spot. It was clearly written on the paper that the last person to enter the restoration area last night was Tham Nhuoc Ninh. Next to her name was a signature. Chu Nghien Tu. Ms. Luong raised her head: "General Director Chu, did you also go backstage last night?" Chu Nghien Tu opened his mouth. Tham Nhuoc Ninh cried and pulled him: "Nghien Tu, tell me. Aren't you going to come with me to get the tools?" I looked at him. Turns out he wasn't just protecting her. His name is also on that piece of paper. Chu's mother's face turned pale, her mouth still stiff: "What can a piece of paper prove? Maybe Lam Van stuffed it in." Uncle Phuong was so angry that he burst out laughing: "Do you consider everyone blind?" Ms. Luong held the paper, her tone changed: "General Manager Chu, I have to report this matter." Finally, Chu Nghien Tu looked at me. For the first time, panic appeared in his eyes. "Lin Van, tonight's matter ends here." I asked: "Based on what?" He lowered his voice very low: "Save my face." I looked at the jade button at my feet. "Do you still have face?" The exhibition was not canceled. Ms. Luong stayed up all night adding documents. Tham Nhuoc Ninh's name was removed from the list, and Chu Thi's sponsorship sign was also moved from the main board to a corner. But the Chu family refused to admit defeat. The next morning, Chu's mother led two relatives to my father's watch shop, blocked the door and announced the seizure of the premises. When I arrived, the neighbors had gathered in a circle. My father slowly took each old pocket watch from the closet and put it in the box. Chu's mother stood in front of the door, her voice was neither high nor low, just loud enough for everyone to hear: "Mr. Lam, it's not that I don't say gratitude. Dark."

Over Van Van's house, he caused such an unsightly incident that Nghien Tu couldn't sleep all night. My relatives said they wanted to take back the premises, but I couldn't stop them." My mother was so angry: "The contract still has half a year left." The fat woman next to Chu's mother threw out the paper in her hand: "The contract clearly states that if the homeowner needs to use it urgently, he can take it back before the deadline." My father said: "Compensation." The fat woman pouted: "Compensation is compensation. In a small store like this, how much can you earn in a day?" Someone in the neighborhood advised: "Mr. Lam, don't be harsh with them." I walked into the store: "Dad, don't clean." Chu's mother saw me, her face darkened: "You came at the right time. Van Van, as long as you go and apologize to Nhuoc Ninh tonight, the store can still continue to rent." My mother scolded: "You're dreaming." Chu's mother's face also turned cold: "Then move." I looked at the fat woman: "Are you the owner?" She raised her chin: "Yes." "Do you have a house ownership certificate?" "What do you mean?" "Prove that the store is yours." The fat woman froze, then shouted: "The neighbors are all I know this is my family's store, what proof do I need?" I took out my phone: "Then I'll call the police to check." Chu's mother immediately said: "Lam Van, don't cause trouble again."
