Chapter 1 — Fiance Thanh Mai Truc Ma

1To celebrate my birthday, Tham Mo booked a couple's table at the restaurant a month in advance. As soon as I walked in, I saw the waiter smiling mysteriously at me. I understand, there's a bit of tension in my heart. The dim lights make the atmosphere a bit romantic. The melodious sound of the violin is even more seductive. When Tham Mo held a large bouquet of roses and walked over smiling, my heart couldn't help but beat faster. But before she could receive the bouquet, Tham Mo's phone rang. He answered the phone for a while, then hurriedly said to me: "Nim Niem, I have some urgent matters to take care of. Don't worry, I'll be right back." Having finished speaking, he didn't even have time to hand the bouquet of flowers into my hand, he quickly turned around and left. The bouquet of roses fell to the ground. Along with my broken heart. A ring rolled to my foot. I picked it up, looked at the pink diamond sparkling on it and couldn't help but feel funny. I knew the call was from Tran Tieu Tieu, even from a few meters away I could still hear her effeminate voice. She is Tham Mo's secretary. And my boyfriend, on the birthday party where he was supposed to propose to me, dumped me for her. I waited a long time. The waiter occasionally bowed his head to discuss, then looked at me with eyes full of pity. I, Lam Niem, don't need anyone's pity. Half past eleven. I stood up, walked up to the stage, grabbed the microphone. "Sorry to bother everyone, today is my birthday, I want to invite everyone to sing a happy birthday song." I paused. “And I will pay all of today's expenses.” The guests were surprised for a moment, then all stood up and cheered. I don't know who started, "Happy birthday, happy birthday..." Everyone congratulated me together. The violin player also promptly played the melody of the birthday song. I raised my head, my tears blurred the light into shimmering rings. I tried to laugh happily. Amid that sound of singing and laughter, the twelve o'clock bell rang. My birthday just passed like that. Tham Mo never returned. 2I used the phone's location to find hospital number one. Sure enough, I saw Tham Mo's Maybach parked in front of the door. I brought the birthday cake to the front door of the hospital room. Before I could step in, I heard Tran Tieu Tieu's calculating voice. "General Manager Tham, I'm sorry, it's all because of you being so clumsy, making me leave Niem Niem and come here with you. Go home quickly, she will definitely be angry if you leave like this." Truly a classic "green tea". I pushed the door open and walked in, loudly saying: "How could I be angry? Not only am I not angry, but I specifically came to see how injured you were." Tham Mo looked at me in surprise and stammered: "Nien Niem, why did you come here?" "Why did you come? Of course I came to take care of the staff." I held up the cake, "Look, I was worried that you guys wouldn't have anything to eat for dinner, so I specially brought the cake here." Tham Mo felt a bit guilty: "Nim Niem, sorry, I..." I didn't pay attention to him, glanced at Tran Tieu Tieu: "I really had to come here to see, how come on my birthday, you twisted your leg? Did we have some conflict? Let me see, which leg is injured?" Twisted, is it broken? Tran Tieu Tieu's face turned pale, looking extremely pitiful: "Sister Niem Niem, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have called General Manager Tham to bother you two, but I really didn't know who else to call..." "Oh, you still know that it's annoying? You only know Tham Mo in this whole company? If no one helps, don't you know how to call 120? Even though you know it's a bother, you still call, your family taught you that." Why?" Tran Tieu Tieu was so shaken by my questioning. Tham Mo

Unable to bear it anymore, he spoke up: "Enough, Lam Niem, do you have to be so overbearing?" I responded with a slap. The sound of slapping made both of them stunned. I pulled out the ring, the pink diamond sparkling in the light. Tran Tieu Tieu stared at the diamond, jealousy flashed in her eyes. "Do you like it?" I smiled and leaned closer. Then I quickly stuffed the ring into the cake and held the whole cake and pressed it straight to Tran Tieu Tieu's face. "Ah!" Tran Tieu Tieu screamed in horror. "Lam Niem, what are you doing!" Tham Mo pulled me away forcefully. I was pulled away by him, wobbling, the heels of my high heels were unstable, causing sharp pain in my ankles. Meanwhile, Tham Mo was gently wiping cream on Tran Tieu Tieu's head. I endured the pain and looked at them from above: "Tran Tieu Tieu, as you wish, I don't need this man anymore." Having finished speaking, I didn't pay attention to Tham Mo's reaction, tried to stay calm, and left the hospital room. 3I limped home. When my parents saw me in such a disheveled state, they panicked. I was helped to sit down on the sofa. Only then did I realize that my ankle was swollen and the slightest touch was unbearably painful. "Why did this happen? Where is Tham Mo? Why didn't he take the child home?" My mother asked while applying ice. Tears of frustration could not be contained, I burst into tears in her arms. "Mom, I don't need Tham Mo anymore! He likes someone else! I don't need him anymore!" "What happened?" My father was angry and rolled his eyes, "Is that boy from the Tham family bullying you?" I cried as I recounted everything that happened tonight. "Very well, Mr. Tham! In the past, he fought for your mother with me but couldn't win. When you said you wanted to be with the boy Tham Mo, I didn't agree. Later, it wasn't because Mr. Tham came to me to drink and cry and say he wanted to make up for past mistakes, then no matter how much you liked him, I wouldn't have agreed."My father so angry that he brought up the old story. I listened carefully, not forgetting to eat the melon. "Good girl, leave that bastard, we have better options. If he dares to bully you, don't blame me for turning his face." The old man was angry, puffed his cheeks and rolled his eyes, then immediately ran straight into the study room. Perhaps the Tham family is about to encounter great misfortune.
