Chapter 7 — Bring Five Beast Eggs to Destroy the Crowd

When Lam So Oanh walked into the living room wearing high heels, I was still wearing my baggy cartoon pajamas. She wore a high-end custom-made dress, exquisite makeup, and held a gilded invitation in her hand. Seeing me sitting proudly on the sofa, her eyes flashed with surprise, then immediately changed to a noble and superior look.
“Are you the new nanny Canh Tham hired?”
She looked around, her tone filled with hate.
"Why would he find someone like you who doesn't know the rules? Is the homeowner's sofa also a place where you can sit arbitrarily?"
I was neither in a hurry nor angry, picked up the bowl of blood bird's nest on the table and took a sip.
"I am his ancestor. Why are you looking for him?"
Lam So Oanh's face stiffened. She tried to suppress her anger, walked over and slammed the card on the tea table.
"Where is Canh Tham? Tell him to come meet me. Next month I will get engaged to Pho Tram, especially come to give him the card."
Her eyes rolled around, her gaze fell on the nutritious dishes in front of me, smiling strangely.
"Canh Tham is also really, even though he's bankrupt, he's still trying to pretend to be rich. What's the use of buying these fake bird's nests and fake lingzhi in the house?"
“You quickly call him out here.”
"Pho Tram respected our previous acquaintance and intended to give him a chance, let him come to Pho Thi Group to be a security captain, at least he would have something to eat."
I almost spit out a mouthful of bird's nest. Security captain? Does she have bean residue in her head? Bui Canh Tham earns tens of millions every day, yet she works as a security guard for her man? I put the bowl down and was about to turn it back on when the door was pushed open. Bui Canh Tham strode in, carrying a thermos box in his hand.
"To To, the premium abalone has arrived. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Hearing his voice, Lam So Oanh immediately turned around. Her eye sockets turned red for a second, her voice was so soft that it could be dripping with water.
“Mr. Canh Tham…”
Bui Canh Tham's footsteps suddenly stopped. The moment he saw Lam So Oanh, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
“Why are you here?”
His voice was so cold it seemed like it could freeze the air. Lam So Oanh bit her lip in self-pity and pointed to the card on the tea table.
"I came to give you the engagement card. Mr. Canh Tham, stop trying so hard."
"I know you're bankrupt. Pho Tram agreed to give you a helping hand. Don't refuse him because of your dignity, okay?"
As she spoke, she was about to pull Bui Canh Tham's hand. Bui Canh Tham took a big step back, avoiding her like a pestilence.
"Bankrupt? Who told you I was bankrupt?"
Lam So Oanh was stunned:
“But before that, I rode a tram to deliver food…”
“That's because To To likes a low-emission, environmentally friendly lifestyle, I went with her to experience life!”
Bui Canh Tham impatiently interrupted and placed the thermos box next to me.
"Also, if you give me a card, give me a card. Why are you running to my house?"
“Am I very close to you?”
Lam So Oanh's face immediately turned red. She looked at Bui Canh Tham in disbelief.
"Brother Canh Tham, because of this woman, why do you talk to me like that? Who is she, her whole body exudes the smell of poverty!"
This statement completely reached Bui Canh Tham's final limit. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes became extremely scary, deep in his pupils flashed a bright red fire. The temperature in the living room suddenly increased.
“Tell me again what she is?”
Bui Canh Tham gradually pressed closer to Lam So Oanh, his low voice seemed to come out of his throat. Lam So Oanh was scared and kept backing away, her legs were weak and she fell to the ground. I saw that the situation was not okay, so I quickly spoke up to stop it.
"Okay, Bui Canh Tham, stop scaring people. Take the invitation, tell her that we will definitely come to the engagement party on time."
The fire in Bui Canh Tham's eyes slowly extinguished. He coldly glanced at Lam So Oanh and picked up the card on the tea table.
"Do you hear me? We're coming. Now get out of my house immediately."
Lam So Oanh crawled and ran away, even a high heel shoe fell behind. I looked at her struggling back and turned to Bui Canh Tham.
"What were you planning to do just now? Burn her with fire?"
Bui Canh Tham touched his nose, a bit unnatural.
“She scolded you.”
"If you scold me, scold me, I won't lose any meat."
I rolled my eyes.
“What day is the engagement party?”
He opened the card and took a look.
"Next Friday, at Hao Sinh Hotel. Do you really want to go?"
"Go! Why don't you go!"
I patted my thigh.
"I heard that Pho Tram wanted to show off his wealth so he planned to hold a small auction during the engagement party."
“The last and most important dish is a three-hundred-year-old premium purple ginseng.”
I swallowed. As soon as the five ancestors heard the word "purple ginseng" in their stomachs, they immediately rolled over in excitement.
“This purple ginseng root, I must have it!”
Friday night next week. I changed into a high-class, loose-fitting suit, took Bui Canh Tham's arm, and strutted into the banquet hall of Hao Sinh Hotel. As soon as we entered the door, we attracted everyone's eyes. Anyway, rumors of Bui Canh Tham's bankruptcy have spread loudly. Everyone wants to see how this former richest tycoon has fallen miserably. But no matter how we dress, we don't look like bankrupt people. Lam So Oanh was wearing a pure white wedding dress, holding Pho Tram's arm as she offered drinks to the crowd. Seeing us, her expression changed. She leaned into Pho Tram's ear and whispered something.
