Chapter 5 — Great Lady Fake Weakness
At the end of the etiquette lesson, Ms. Thieu didn't even bother asking for the remaining money, carrying her bag and walking away. Mrs. Bui knew about it and came to find me personally. She stood at the door, looking at the cracked marble podium, the broken teapot handle, and me as I bowed my head to review the story, my eyes as if I had just seen some mysterious and inexplicable natural phenomenon.
“What do you want to do?”
I sincerely replied: "I want to learn rules." Mrs. Bui chuckled: "Are you studying so much that you intend to tear down this Bui family's house?" I was just about to apologize when Bui Do came up from downstairs. He looked at the tragedy in the room, then looked back at me.
“Are you hurt?”
Mrs. Bui's face became even more unsightly: "Bui Do, he destroyed the house like this, can you still ask if he's injured?" Bui Do's voice was very calm: "If things are broken, they can be replaced, but people cannot be replaced." My heart sank. Why does this sentence sound familiar? My father also said the same thing. However, my father often added an additional sentence: "Disposing of bodies is very troublesome." Mrs. Bui's throat was choked, and she coldly said: "Just indulge him. Today he dares to crush the teapot, tomorrow he dares to tear down this house." I immediately assured: “No.” Mrs. Bui stared at me. I added: "The house is so big, it's tiring to unpack." Bui Do coughed. Mrs. Bui angrily turned around and left. I looked at her back, a little worried: "Does your mother hate me even more?" Bui Do said: "I already don't like it, adding a little more won't affect it." Me: “…” Thank you, it's so touching to comfort you. … In the afternoon, Bui Do took me to the company. He said the engagement had been decided, and I, as the future Mrs. Bui, would have to appear at the group sooner or later. Actually, I don't really want to go. My father forced me to get married to whiten my hair, but he didn't tell me to go to Bui Thi Group to launch a new business. If the Bui family finds out that I read the contract better than the menu, then my weak image will be over. But Bui Do said: "Luong Chi is also present today." I immediately stood up: "Let's go." Bui Do raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say your health is not good?" I picked up my bag: "If I have low blood sugar, I can't stand seeing white lotus green tea." Bui Thi Group is located right in the city center, occupying an entire building. When I arrived, the receptionist and secretary both looked at me secretly. I heard someone whisper: "Is this the eldest lady of the Minh family? She looks so docile."
"That's right, her face is so small, she looks so gentle in a white dress."
“I heard he was very sick, Mr. Bui personally brought him here.”
Hearing that, I felt happier. It seems that as long as I don't do it, my appearance is still very deceptive. Luong Chi is waiting at the meeting room door. Today she wore a light blue suit and sophisticated makeup. When she saw Bui Do and I walking together, her smile almost stiffened.
"A Do, why did you bring Miss Minh here? The company meeting is very boring, she is so weak, I'm afraid she won't be able to sit and listen for long."
Bui Do replied calmly: "She is my fiancee, come to get acquainted with the company." Luong Chi's smile became even fainter: "But today we're talking about the Tay Cang project. The documents are very complicated. I'm afraid Miss Minh won't understand." I immediately bowed my head. So good. The opportunity has come. I just need to cooperate According to "I really don't understand", it is possible to maintain the image of a portable flower vase. As a result, before I could open my mouth, a man walked out of the conference room. He must be a shareholder of Bui Thi, over 50 years old, his hair is gelled and shiny, and he wears a gold watch on his hand.
