Chapter 3 — Fiance Thanh Mai Truc Ma

7 Tham Thi failed in the bidding. When my dad told me the news, I was sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds and watching a movie. I casually asked: "Oh? So who won the bid?" My father looked curious and leaned closer: "Guess what?" I glared at him, saying "if you like it, say it or not." My father is a person who cannot hide things. He immediately said: "The Co family, Co Thanh, just returned to the country. I didn't expect that as soon as he returned, he made a big deal, it really pleases me." I stopped, my hands stopped picking up the melon seeds, and my heart suddenly sank. No one knows, I used to like Co Thanh. Unlike the rebellious and careless Tham Mo, Co Thanh is often quiet and calm. He gives me a feeling of security. On New Year's Eve when I graduated from college, I texted Co Thanh, wanting to ask him out privately. But he didn't come. It was a confession of love that was dead in the egg. I stood in the middle of a white snow field, shivering from the cold, my tears frozen into ice. The brilliant fireworks all over the city witnessed my heart gradually wither. After that, I agreed with Tham Mo's confession. The two families have known each other for a long time, clearly intermarriage brings benefits to both parties. The day Co Thanh left to study abroad, I found an excuse not to go to the airport to see him off. From then on, I occasionally saw him update his status on social networks, but our chat box was never opened again. 8 Tham's father invited me out to eat. Everyone knows he came to be a mediator on behalf of Tham Mo. My father was of course not happy at all. But an invitation from an elder is difficult to refuse, and by the way, it is also an opportunity to clarify everything. When my father and I arrived, we saw that Tham Mo was also present. He looked at me, his expression a bit confused. "Nien Niem, you're here. I know that Tieu Mo hurt you a few days ago, so today I specially brought him here to apologize to you. Our two families have known each other for many years, me and your father have both watched you grow up, you two are about to get engaged, don't let such a small thing ruin the peace between our two families." Father Tham raised his glass and at the same time glanced at Tham Mo. "Nien Niem, sorry..." Tham Mo secretly looked at my father and said in fear. My father had a cold face from the moment he sat down. After hearing Father Tham's words, he immediately became angry: "Very good, Mr. Tham, what is a small matter? Don't you know what your son has done? It's true that 'as above, so below', you can't control yourself, so your son is like you, no one can do anything." what.” Tham's father is famous for being a wealthy man, everyone in the world knows. My father became even angrier, bringing up all of Tham's father's past stories and scolding him mercilessly. I sat still and coldly watched the game. Looking at the two old men's tension, it escalated more and more. "Tham Mo, I thought I made it clear that day in your office." "You like to be ambiguous, like to double-cross, like to enjoy happiness both ways, that's your job." I looked straight at him, my eyes cold. “But I, Lam Niem, will never become a part of your game.” “I feel so disgusting.” I picked up my bag and walked away immediately. Tham Mo quickly followed from behind, "Nien Niem, Niem Niem wait, listen to my explanation, Niem Niem..." Unexpectedly, when I got to the door, I immediately met Tran Tieu Tieu. It's true that the injustice of the family is narrow. She seemed to be being chased by several men. Seeing us was like seeing a savior. She immediately rushed over, held Tham Mo's hand tightly, and begged: "General Manager Tham, please save me, my father is going to sell me!" Her small face was red, her eyes were teary, she looked pitiful. I stood next to him, my face full of excitement as if watching a fun game. Tham Mo was worried about me and wanted to push her away but couldn't bear it. While wondering, several men caught up and surrounded her.

around us. The scar-headed guy leading the group looked at us with interest, his hand constantly playing with a small knife. "Oh, this brat even knows how to call for help." Tran Tieu Tieu hid behind Tham Mo in fear, trembling. Tham Mo stood in front of her and coldly asked: "What do you want to do?" The scar head sneered, "What are you doing? Debts have to be paid, it's obvious. Her father owed us money, couldn't pay, so he sold her to clear the debt. We came to collect the debt." "How much does she owe you guys?" The scar head raised a finger, "Ten million." "Okay, I'll pay for her. You let her go." Tham Mo looked full of righteousness. The scar-headed guy glanced back and forth between me and Tran Tieu Tieu, smiling meaningfully: "You're a lucky kid, you like being a hero to save beautiful people. But I don't easily believe your words. Today I have to take a hostage back, three days later you'll bring money to ransom someone." I didn't expect to encounter this problem. A few guys surrounded us, some raised their hands towards me and Tran Tieu Tieu. Tham Mo without hesitation rushed to protect Tran Tieu Tieu and fought with them. I didn't have time to get angry and hurriedly dealt with the guy attacking me. Luckily, I learned some self-defense skills before, so I can cope for the time being. The guy with the scar head suddenly saw the necklace around my neck, his eyes lit up, he reached out to grab it: "It's good to collect some profit first today." I panicked, clutching the necklace tightly and not letting go. He was angry and swung his knife at me. I didn't have time to dodge, my arm was cut with a long gash, blood immediately flowed out, soaking my sleeve red. Even though the pain was indescribable, I still held the necklace tightly. My eyes started to blur. I feel like I'm not going to be able to hold on anymore. Someone came close, caught me, and then kicked the scar head in the chest. His face was cold, his eyes filled with anger. He was like a god descending from the sky. I leaned against him, losing so much blood, the pain was so intense that I fainted.
