Chapter 5 — Cui Van Chieu

In Lam Nghien's eyes, there is me. He will respect me. Will seriously listen to every word I say. That's all... I'm already very satisfied. ... Three days after the engagement was decided. Qi Dien rushed straight into the general's palace. That day, when my father entered the palace, I was alone in the palace. He carried a strong smell of alcohol. Both eyes are bloodshot. Just rush into my hospital. He grabbed my wrist tightly. The power is so great that it's scary. "You want to marry someone else?" I coldly looked at him. "Let go." He roared: "I ask you!" "Are you about to marry someone else?" "Marry that Lam Nghien?" "What good is he?" "Just a poor Han Lam, what can he give you?" I calmly looked at him. "He can give me respect." "Give me sincerity." "Those things..." "You don't do those things..." okay." Qi Dien was excited. "Why can't I do it?" "Van Chieu, I can retire Wen Du Lan." "I can marry you as my first wife." "I can give you everything..." I slowly removed his fingers one by one. "But... I don't need it anymore." I looked at him, every word was as cold as ice. "Qi Dien, who do you think you are?" "Based on what you want, I must accept it?" He staggered back. It was as if those words had just stabbed straight into my heart. He said hoarsely. "But..." "But I regret it." "Why... why didn't you tell me?" "If you had told me earlier... I definitely wouldn't..." I interrupted him. "What about telling you?" "Will you believe it?" I looked straight into his eyes. "Qi Dien." "You ask yourself." "If after I died in my previous life, as soon as I was reincarnated, I immediately told you the truth..." "Would you believe it or would you think that I was lying?" playing tricks?" "You think I made up a story to trick you?" He opened his mouth. But couldn't say a word. I laughed coldly. "You'll just think..." "That's another lie I made up to get married to you." "You'll hate me even more." "Be more wary of me." "Isn't that right?" He was silent. I turned around. "Go away, don't come looking for me in the future." "I'm about to get married." "Please... let me go." Suddenly... He hugged me tightly from behind. The voice was choked. "I won't let go!" "Van Chieu..." "I was wrong..." "I really know I was wrong..." "Give me a chance." "Just once..." My whole body stiffened. But no response. I closed my eyes softly. "Qi Dien." "Listen carefully." "In my previous life, when I died... I was only twenty-eight years old." "That last day was my birthday." "It was also the day you and Wen Du Lan got engaged." "I was lying on the hospital bed." "Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of joy echoing from the front yard..." "And then little by little..." "Out of breath." His arms that were holding me suddenly stiffened. I continued slowly. "At that time..." "I swore to myself." "If there is another life..." "I will definitely stay far away from you." "I will not love you anymore." "I will not shed another tear for you." He slowly let go. I turned around. Before my eyes... Is a face full of tears. That man who was arrogant all his life... Cried. But in my heart... there are no more ripples. I softly said: "So..." "Let me go... also let go of yourself."... Qi Dien lost his soul and left. I thought he had completely given up. Unexpectedly, three days later, Lam Nghien was seriously injured by someone kicking him. On the way from Han Lam Institute back to the palace, he was surrounded and beaten by a group of masked people. Three ribs were broken by rocks, even his legs were broken by rocks. The Lam family immediately reported it to the authorities, but after endless investigation they still could not find the murderer. I went to Lam's mansion to visit him. Lam Nghien was lying on the bed, his face pale, but as soon as he saw me he smiled comfortingly. "Don't worry, I'm fine." But... I saw it. In his sleeve he hid a piece

paper. On it was Te Dien's handwriting. "Stay away from her." I clenched my fist, turned around and left the Lam family residence. Go straight to Marquis Vinh Ninh's palace. The family outside the gate stopped me, so I ignored it and rushed in directly. Te Dien is in the study room. As soon as he saw me coming, he immediately ordered all his servants to retreat. I looked straight at him. "Did you do it?" He frowned. "What's going on?" I said every word. "Lam Nghien." "Did you ask someone to kick him?" He was silent for a moment. Finally still admitted. "Yes." "Why?" "He's not worthy of her." I was so angry that I burst out laughing. "Is he worthy or not? Is it your turn to decide?" He stood up and walked towards me step by step. "Van Chieu, you can't marry him." "He's just a weak person, he can't even protect himself, how can he protect her? He..." "He can give me peace." I interrupted him. "Te Dien, the so-called "I just don't want her to marry the wrong person..." "Whether I marry the wrong person or not is my own business!" I raised my voice. "Te Dien, you listen clearly." "From today, if you dare to touch Lam Nghien again, even dare to interfere with my marriage..." "I will kick you." Dang Van, sued The Vinh Ninh Palace to exploit people and coerce women." "At worst, fish will die in torn nets." "No one can be at peace!" His face immediately changed. "Because of him... you want to fish with me in torn nets?" "Yes." He looked at me. The eyes ranged from surprise... To pain... Finally, only silence remained. After a long while, he said hoarsely: "Okay." "I promise I won't touch him again." I coldly said: "One more thing." "From now on, never appear in front of me again.""... Okay."I turned around and left. As he walked to the door, a very soft voice suddenly rang out from behind. "Van Chieu..." "If only... I had woken up on that hunting day..."… It took two months for Lam Nghien's injuries to completely recover. During that time, Qi Dien did not appear again.
