Chapter 7 — From Abandoned Bride to Tycoon's Nanny

“To Uyen Thanh, what do you want?”

“I just want you to come—”

"No way. You can go now."

Her smile faded.

"To Van, don't invite me to drink if you don't want to drink as punishment. Dad already told you, if you don't come, your mother's surgery -"

"I've already taken care of my mother's hospital fees myself. Why are you threatening me?"

Her expression changed.

“Where did you get the money?”

“My salary.”

“How much money do you earn as a nanny?”

“More than the man you stole gave you alms.”

To Uyen Thanh's face suddenly turned pale.

"To Van! What do you mean!"

"You understand what you mean in your heart. My wedding house, my wedding dress, my fiance, when you took everything one by one, why didn't you ask what it meant?"

“It's because Chu Tu Hien chose me!”

"That's right, so why did you come to me? Are you guilty?"

To Uyen Thanh's chest rose and fell violently.

"To Van, don't be proud! Do you think being a nanny here is cool? You're just a housekeeper!"

“It's better to be a stay-at-home son than to be a thief.”

A voice spoke from behind the gate. The butler appeared, his expression polite but extremely cold.

"May I ask who you are? This is the private residence of the Luc family, people who are not authorized to enter are exempt from entering."

To Uyen Thanh saw the butler's straight suit and the magnificent manor behind him, a trace of guilt flashed across his face.

“I am To Van's older sister —”

"Our Luc family only recognizes Ms. To Van. If you do not have an appointment, please leave."

He reached out and clicked on the headset.

“Security, there is someone causing trouble at the main gate.”

To Uyen Thanh's face was completely pale.

"To Van! You let an old butler from the owner's house chase me away?!"

I turned around and walked back into the manor, not bothering to look back.

"To Van! Remember this carefully! If you don't come on the wedding day, I will let the whole Kinh Bac know that you are a kicked turtle!"

The butler slammed the big gate shut. Her screams were completely trapped outside. The butler looked at me, a bit hesitant.

"Miss To, do you need to tell Mr. Luc? If this person comes again -"

“No need to bother Mr. Luc.” I said, “She can't do anything.”

The butler nodded. But what I didn't know was, the manor's surveillance cameras were connected to the network. Luc Canh Tham sat in the company office and witnessed the entire incident. That night he returned, without saying a word. Only when I finished telling Niem Niem the story did he give me a glass of hot milk.

“Drink and go to bed early.”

Then he went straight upstairs. I held a glass of milk and stood blankly in the hallway. This man is so different. Very cold, but that coldness makes people feel extremely warm. A strange feeling of contradiction. Another two days have passed. Chu Tu Hien called.

“To Van, are you working as a nanny for Luc Canh Tham at Anh Ho Son Trang?”

My heart skipped a beat.

“How do you know?”

"Uyen Thanh has already investigated. Luc Canh Tham, General Director of Luc Thi Group. To Van, your guts are really big, working as a nanny for the richest man in Kinh Bac."

“What does this have to do with you?”

“Of course it's relevant.” His tone changed, "To Van, I advise you to be a little more reasonable. Someone like Luc Canh Tham is not someone you can be with." how high can it be? Just obediently be my nanny, don't give birth to insecure thoughts."

“What do I think?”

“Stop pretending. Monthly salary of 500,000, do you think he's aiming at any of your points?"

I laughed.

“Chu Tu Hien, are you jealous or are you in a mean mood?”

“When we broke up, I made it very clear that we no longer had any relationship. Now, what right do you have to control where I work and who I work as a nanny for?"

“I just kindly reminded —”

“Your kindness, keep it for your new bride. I don't need it."

I hung up. Five minutes later, To Uyen Thanh's call came.

“To Van, stay away from Luc Canh Tham!”

“Are you sure you can manage it?”

“Luc Canh Tham is a diamond bachelor of Kinh Bac, a nanny like you shouldn't think anything of it!”

“Are you afraid your husband won't be as good as my boss?”

The other end of the line was silent for three seconds.

"To Van, you just wait, sooner or later you will know my hand."

She hung up. I immediately blacklisted her number. But this doesn't end so simply. Thirteenth day. I took Niem Niem to the shopping center to buy crayons. The butler drove us to the largest commercial center in Kinh Bac. Niem Niem held my hand and stood in the stationery section choosing for a long time, finally choosing a box of forty-eight colored pencils. As I walked out to pay, a voice rang out from behind.

“Eh? Isn't this To Van?"
