Chapter 10 — Give up the wedding car, cancel the marriage

“Nauseating, golden raspberry award for green tea couple!”
"Go hunt down their information! Let this type of person perish in society!"
The power of netizens is boundless. Very quickly, Chu T. Tu Ngang's company, position, school, and major of Lam So So were all exposed. Chu T. Tu Ngang's company website was bombarded by netizens until it crashed due to overload. The company could not bear the pressure and that same day issued a notice to fire him. Lam So So's university forum is also filled with posts discussing her. She became a "famous person" throughout the school. It was rumored that she didn't dare show her face to go to school for several days. My parents watched everything happen, both happy and worried: "Tinh Tinh, doing this... is it too much?"
"Mom, they used public opinion to attack me first. I just returned the truth to the public. This is not excessive, this is legitimate defense."
At that moment, my phone rang. Some strange. I picked up the phone. On the other end of the line was the tired old voice of a man:
"Is it... Ms. To Tinh? I'm Chu T. Tu Ngang's father."
I remained silent as he continued to speak.
"Sweetheart, I know T. Tu Ngang is sorry for you. The Chu family is sorry for you. We admit defeat. We will pay you the amount of money on your list without missing a penny. Just please, raise it high and hit lightly, let him go. He... he is about to be forced to go crazy."
His voice carried a deep plea. But I did not relent.
"Okay." I replied. "If the money goes into my account, I will take down all the posts online. But I have one condition."
“What conditions?”
I said every word clearly and distinctly: "I want to know what Chu T. Tu Ngang owes Lam So So. I want to know that 'secret'." The other side of the phone fell silent for a long time. It took so long that I thought he had hung up. Finally, he let out a long sigh, as if he had aged ten years.
"You come to my house for a trip. I will tell you. But after listening, I hope you understand T. Tu Ngang. He... he is also a pitiful person."
**10** Chu family villa. I've been here many times. As the girlfriend and fiancee of Chu T. Tu Ngang. But this time, I came as a creditor. In the living room, Chu T. Tu Ngang's parents were both present. The couple looked a lot more haggard and their hair had turned a lot gray. Chu T. Tu Ngang was also there. He sat huddled in the dark corner of the room, his head bowed like a criminal awaiting sentencing. The old enthusiasm and confidence had completely disappeared. Only Lam So So was not present. On the tea table there is a bank card. Chu's father pushed it towards me: "In here is the amount of money you requested, a total of one hundred eighty-two thousand (more than 6 billion VND). The password is your mother's birthday." I didn't touch the card. Looking straight at him: “Where is my question?” Chu's father's lips trembled. He looked at Chu T. Tu Ngang. Then he looked at his wife again. Chu's mother turned away and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Finally, as if making up his mind, Chu's father took out a faded yellow bag from the drawer under the tea table. The bag was very old, all the corners were frayed. He gave it to me.
“The secret is all in here.”
I took it and opened it. Inside is a thick stack of documents. There are medical records, test papers, and even a sheet of... Organ donation paper. I turned each page. The more I watch, the more my heart sinks. Time is fifteen years ago. Chu T. Tu Ngang and Lam So So are still middle school students. Lam So So suffered from acute kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant. But I couldn't find a compatible kidney. Her life hangs in the balance. Just when everyone was in despair, Chu T. Tu Ngang's health examination results were available. His kidneys are completely compatible with Lam So So. Seeing this part, my heart skipped a beat. Could it be…
