Chapter 1 — I Don't Need Your Blessings

Every year in the middle of summer, on my birthday, my boyfriend and my best friend will argue over whether the air conditioner should be set to 26 degrees or 28 degrees. This year, I proactively set the temperature down to 27 degrees first, handed out the cold Coke and thin blanket, and opened my mouth first. "I've already set it to 27 degrees, give me the Coke, give me the blanket, can't argue this time?" After a strange silence. To Van Duong took the blanket and adjusted the temperature to 26 degrees. "Before, it was me who did the coloring, but I didn't expect that it would cause the two of us to endure the heat." Giang Chi Nghien put the can of cold Coke aside and adjusted the temperature to 28 degrees. "Speaking as if I'm the only one afraid of the heat in this whole house, having ice to cool down is enough!" I curled my eyes and watched them make up, thinking that this year I could finally have a quiet birthday. Then, while cutting fruit in the kitchen, I remembered that the cake hadn't arrived yet. As soon as I reached the living room door, I heard To Van Duong speak in a low voice. “Giang Chi Nghien, maybe tell the truth now, sooner or later she will find out.” “Last time, during her father's funeral, I... ” “Last time, during her father's funeral, I... got pregnant.” Giang Chi Nghien's voice was also very soft. "If her mother hadn't urged us to get married, I would have proposed to break up a long time ago." I squeezed the doorknob and let go, my heart suddenly empty. It turns out that up until now, I've always been an extra person. 1Every year in the middle of summer, on my birthday, my boyfriend and best friend will argue over whether the air conditioner should be set to 26 degrees or 28 degrees.

I curled my eyes and watched them make peace, thinking in my heart that this year I could finally have a quiet birthday. Then, while cutting fruit in the kitchen, I remembered that the cake hadn't arrived yet. As soon as I reached the living room door, I heard To Van Duong speak in a low voice. "Giang Chi Nghien, let's be honest now, sooner or later she will find out." "Last time, during her father's funeral, I... ” “Last time, during her father's funeral, I... got pregnant. married." Giang Chi Nghien's voice was also very soft. "If it wasn't for her mother urging us to get married, I would have proposed to break up a long time ago." I squeezed the doorknob and let go. out, my heart suddenly felt empty. It turns out that all along, I've always been redundant.01The door was suddenly pulled open. To Van Duong's face caught my eye, the blood on her face drained away. "Tri Y, when have you been standing here?" Giang Chi Nghien jumped up from the sofa, a few steps rushed forward to block her. As if afraid that I would do something unfavorable to To Van Duong. I pulled the corner of my mouth, my voice choked. "I've heard everything that should and shouldn't be heard." Giang Chi Nghien's lower jaw tightened. "Farewell." I spit out these two words and turned around to leave. To Van Duong chased after me, her fingers tightening around my wrist. "Tri Y, it's not what you think, listen to me explain." I forcefully pushed her away. "So what? I have to let me lift up the blanket to catch me cheating on the bed, is that what I think?" To Van Duong stumbled and bumped into the wall, her eyes turning red. Giang Chi Nghien rushed to help her. When she raised her head and looked at me, her eyes were cold and scary. "Lam Tri Y, Van Duong is your best sister, how could you push her?" I laughed so hard that my eyes hurt, I raised my hand and slapped her.

one in To Van Duong's face. "From the moment she crawled into my boyfriend's bed, she was no longer the same." As soon as she finished speaking, Giang Chi Nghien slapped me back. I tilted my head, my cheeks were sore. Giang Chi Nghien was also stunned, took a step forward. "Sorry... I..." He wanted to make up for it, wanted to see my red, swollen face, so I stepped back and avoided him. He stiffened in place, his throat rolling a few times. "This has nothing to do with Van Duong, at first I took the initiative to approach Van Duong." "I have secretly loved her for many years." "I confessed my love to you, just because at that time you always hung her by my mouth, I wanted to get a little closer to her." A buzzing sound rang in my head. Five years ago, Giang Chi Nghien placed a confession candle under the dormitory. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. But I forgot that when he agreed with me, his eyes went over my shoulder and fell on To Van Duong standing behind me. I also forgot that at that time To Van Duong opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. Turns out I was the one being plotted. I'm really an idiot, I personally pulled them together, told him what To Van Duong liked and hated. I even told Giang Chi Nghien that her menstrual cycle would cause stomach pain. He really remembers. It's just that the person being cared for has never been me. I remember even more clearly, the night of my father's funeral, I cried until I fainted. When I woke up, To Van Duong and Giang Chi Nghien were not by my side. Called dozens of phone calls before someone answered the phone. Su Van Duong said she was receiving fluids at the hospital. Giang Chi Nghien said he was working overtime at the company. Thinking back now, maybe they were lying together at that time, laughing at my irreversible stupidity. I took a breath, raised my hand and pointed to the door. "Get out." "From now on, I don't want to see you two anymore." The two of them glanced at each other. To Van Duong still wanted to say something, so I picked up the porcelain cup on the tea table and threw it at him. To Van Duong screamed, her calf was cut. Giang Chi Nghien's face changed drastically, he picked her up. "Lam Tri Y, you're crazy!" He knocked me away and rushed out the door. I stumbled, holding onto the wall, staring at that dark red puddle, suddenly bursting into laughter. Because of Giang Chi Nghien, I quit my job in Kinh Thanh and moved to this city. It's very difficult to find a job at a big company. This house is all the savings my father specially left me, ten million. Before he died, he lay on his hospital bed and told me: This money is not worth using to save him, it is better to leave it to me to earn a good future. Now that we broke up, I don't need to stay anymore. I took out the real estate certificate, intending to sell it through a broker. The broker flipped the book back and forth three times, raised his head, looking awkward. "Miss Lam, this book is fake." I was stunned. "No way, please look again." The broker shook his head, pushed the book back. "It's fake." The employee typed on the keyboard a few times. "Just asked someone to check, the owner of apartment 1901, block 3, Tan Giang Nhat Hao is Ms. To Van Duong." My head exploded.02I Locate her circle of friends and take a taxi there. Next to the ground-level window, Giang Chi Nghien is peeling shrimp for To Van Duong. I walked over, picked up the glass of lemonade on the table, and splashed it in his face. "Giang Chi Nghien, why has my house turned into To Van Duong's?" "If you don't explain clearly today, I will let the whole city know about the good things you two have done." The eyes of everyone in the restaurant turned to him. To Van Duong quickly covered her face with the menu. Giang Chi Nghien stood up and wanted to pull me, I pushed his hand away. "At first I asked you to help me buy a house, now I wrote her name.

How do you tell me to calm down?" There were whispers around. Su Van Duong bowed her head, her voice as small as a mosquito. "Tri Y, I can explain about the house." "Explain how you both slept with my boyfriend and ate my house?" Giang Chi Nghien's face turned pale. "At first Van Duong was alone in this city with no one to rely on, I wrote the house under her name to give her a guarantee." "You and she are important." It's such a good relationship, is it that important to write down someone's name?" I was so angry that I burst out laughing. "So now that she has you, can she give me the house back?" Giang Chi Nghien choked, it took a long time for him to squeeze out a sentence. "Lam Tri Y, why didn't you find out that I planned like that before?" I understand. He didn't intend to pay. "Okay." "Let's meet in court then." I took the opened recording in my hand, turned around and left. When I left the law office, it was already dark. My mother had a congenital heart disease. I was afraid that the sudden breakup would upset her, so I decided to temporarily hide it from her. After looking at my documents, the lawyer pushed up his glasses. "The house purchase statement and transfer records are all there, the possibility of winning the case is very high." "But your other boyfriend, I'm afraid he won't cooperate obediently." I nodded. "I never expected him to cooperate." "I just want him to pay." price." I breathed a sigh of relief, went home to take a hot bath. At the same time, I sent the recording to To Van Duong's parents. The next day, I was woken up by Giang Chi Nghien's phone call. "Lam Tri Y, I didn't say I wouldn't give you the house back, do you need to run to Van Duong's parents to make a scene?" "Her father had high blood pressure and had to go to the hospital on the spot." "Quickly come over here and tell your aunt and uncle clearly, saying we broke up a long time ago." Then, you and her were together only after breaking up." I hung up the phone directly. The phone quickly began to vibrate crazily. Giang Chi Nghien sent dozens of text messages. Before, he was as sparing with me as gold, even answering one more word was tiring. It turned out that the person he really cared about was worthy of him typing so many words. Finally, there was a transfer note. The attached message read: 【Transfer to you two hundred thousand in advance, the rest I'll pay you in installments.】 【Let's just say I bought this house from you. Come and help Van Duong clarify.】 I laughed coldly and put the phone down on the pillow. At about eight o'clock in the evening, the phone next to my pillow suddenly rang. It was the number of the city's number one hospital emergency center. When I opened the door of the hospital room, I saw my mother's pale face. My mother raised her eyes to see me, her eyes immediately turned red. "Tri Y... you and Chi Nghien... are there really problems?" My heart pounded loudly, I squeezed her hand tightly. "It's not like that, Mom, you and Chi Nghien are still very good, it's just that the project has been so busy lately, I haven't had time to call you." Mom's eyebrows I relaxed, but still opened my mouth in a small voice. "Mom saw the post someone sent... saying you stole your best friend's boyfriend... and blackmailed her for two hundred thousand..." I took her phone, opened the link, and my blood immediately froze. An account named "Van Duong Don't Cry" posted a long article. In the article, they named me as the third person, and also attached a photo of me. And Giang Chi Nghien and To Van Duong were childhood sweethearts from the trick of robbing my best friend's boyfriend, and even peeking into my best friend's house. After being exposed, I blackmailed him for two hundred thousand.03 With a fire in my chest, I called Giang Chi Nghien.
