Chapter 20 — Don't Touch An An

Ha Dinh's eyes turned red. "Do you have to talk like this?" Tham Thanh Dao said: "I'm just saying what you used to do." Ha Dinh's shoulders drooped. But very quickly he raised his head again. “Then give me some time.” “I will return the money to you.” “Please withdraw the demands against me.” Tham Thanh Dao asked: “Including temporary protection for An An?” Ha Dinh was silent. Tham Thanh Dao understood. The payment he calls for has never been an admission of mistake before. He just wanted to drag the child back to the Ha family again. She turned and left. That evening, lawyer Phuong compiled new property clues into additional documents. Tham Thanh Dao watched while warming milk for An An. An An sat on the bed doing a puzzle. Halfway through, the little girl suddenly asked: "Mom, dad doesn't like me, right?" Tham Thanh Dao's hand stopped. She walked over and sat down next to her child. "It's not your fault." "There are some adults who don't know how to love others." "But that's not the reason because An An is not good." An An lowered her head to look at the puzzle pieces. "So do I have to see dad again in the future?" Tham Thanh Dao said: "You can think slowly." "Before you're ready, no one will force you." An An nodded. At 10 p.m., the video online began to spread rapidly. The scene of Ton My Lan crying in front of the office gate was cut short. The title is extremely dazzling. The daughter-in-law was promoted and immediately abandoned her young child. The mother-in-law knelt down and cried, demanding to see her niece but was denied. In the comments section, more and more people cursed Tham Thanh Dao. Some people say Tham Thanh Dao is cold-blooded. Some people say Ha Dinh is pitiful. Some people also started digging up information about her name and workplace. After Tham Thanh Dao finished reading, he did not speak back. She sent the entire link to lawyer Phuong and the agency's legal department. The homeroom director also quickly called. "Thanh Dao, the agency has sent an official letter asking the platform to handle it." "Don't be afraid." "Don't come to the office tomorrow for now." "The child is more important." Tham Thanh Dao said softly: "Thank you, homeroom teacher." The principal sighed. "You're not fighting alone." After hanging up the phone, just as Tham Thanh Dao put down the phone, footsteps were heard outside the door. This time it's not a knock on the door. It's that someone stuffed a stack of printer paper through the crack in the door. Tham Thanh Dao protected An An from behind and bent down to pick up the first page. On it was printed a large text. Tham Thanh Dao mentally lost control for a long time and was not suitable to raise her young daughter. Below are also attached some secretly taken photos. She carried An An into the hospital. She confronted Ha Dinh in front of the courthouse. She changed hotels at dawn. Each photo is cropped from a malicious angle. The last page is a copy of the residential area's certification with a red stamp. The confirmation content clearly states that Ha Dinh's family is peaceful, grandmother Ton My Lan takes care of her granddaughter for a long time, and mother Tham Thanh Dao is absent all year round. Tham Thanh Dao looked at that red seal, her eyes finally filled with coldness. Lawyer Phuong took the paper, just glanced at it, his expression changed. "This residential area seal is real." "But the content is fake." Tham Thanh Dao raised his head. "Who issued it?" Lawyer Phuong stared at the signature. "The residential area in Ton My Lan's hometown." "They have already begun to pave the way for the next step, which is to fight for custody of the children." 19 Tham Thanh Dao put the residential area's confirmation paper on the table. The paper quality is very thin. But the seal on it is extremely dazzling. After watching, the first thing lawyer Phuong said was: "Tomorrow come to this residential area." Tham Thanh Dao nodded. She did not curse, nor did she

crying. She just took a photo of each page, numbered it, and saved it to the cloud. An An was already sleeping soundly. But sleep was not peaceful. A light footstep outside the door was enough to make her frown. Tham Thanh Dao sat next to the bed, gently pressing down the corner of the blanket for her child with her hand. She suddenly realized that every time she endured resentment over the past three years, it would eventually become an increasingly bold excuse for others. Early the next morning, lawyer Phuong accompanied her to the residential area in Ton My Lan's hometown. The management board's office is located on an old street. The working procedure is posted on the front door. Tham Thanh Dao brought a copy of the certificate over. After the employee looked at it, his face was a bit stiff. "This seal belongs to us." Lawyer Phuong asked: "Who handled this matter?" The employee bowed his head and flipped through the registration book. When she turned a page, her hand paused for a moment. "It was Ton My Lan who came to do it." "She said the child was always under her care." "And she said her daughter-in-law neglected the family all year round." Tham Thanh Dao asked: "Have you verified it?" The staff stammered. "She is a resident of this neighborhood." "She cried very pitifully." "Tell her daughter-in-law wants to steal her granddaughter." Lawyer Phuong's voice turned cold.
