Chapter 8 — I Will Never Wait For You Again

25 The day the Nam family prepared to announce my identity, a big party was held in Linh Thanh. The Nam family invited many famous figures in society, including the Luc family of Nam Thanh. No matter what, Luc Dinh An is still my benefactor. The male family must also express gratitude for his past love. I specifically asked Nam Canh to invite both Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai. When they arrived at the hotel, I opened the car door and got out. Seeing me, Ta Giai Giai, as always, started barking loudly: "Oh, isn't this Lam Yen?" Ta Giai Giai looked at me sourly from head to toe: "Oh, it's completely changed. But no matter how much you change, you can't escape the fate of the poor." "I really didn't expect to meet you here, which rich guy will you catch again?" "Look at this outfit, it's truly a limited edition. What kind of guy is hungry?" So thirsty that I have to feed a deserter like you?” After saying that, Ta Giai Giai burst out laughing. She elbowed Le Tu: "Le Tu, look at her, she's been poor all her life but has to dress like a princess. It's funny, isn't it?" Le Tu glanced disdainfully: "Talking to someone who has been my body double for many years, there's nothing worth saying." With an arrogant attitude, Le Tu looked at me from above: "I'm sorry to say it frankly, relying on youth and beauty to be with men is not a long-term plan. A girl must have self-respect." "Men with money will not take you seriously, because you have no value at all." I smiled slightly, gently stroking my hair: "Thank you because you think I'm young and beautiful." Le Tu coldly said with disdain: "You really have no shame." I still smiled: "Miss Le is right, girls should keep themselves pure." "I want to invite you two to see something, I hope you two will know how to be more human in the future." After saying that, I snapped my fingers. Immediately, the big screen on the hotel, along with all the advertising screens on the street, changed images. The images shown above are scenes of Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai hanging out with many different men over the years. They had indulged in debauchery abroad, an extremely unsightly scene, no different from movies from countries famous for debauchery. However, that's not the worst. The most horrifying thing is that the two of them not only hang out with men, but also hang out with women. If the person they have their eyes on has an unsatisfactory appearance, they force that person to have cosmetic surgery. They don't hesitate to ruin other people's lives, and only smile wryly every time they do it. Many people lost their lives at their hands, but thanks to their wealthy family, they used money to silence them all. If the victim's family does not accept the agreement, they will use violence to subdue him. In the videos, they trampled on the heads of the victims' families and laughed savagely. When the video played, Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai's faces turned from contemptuous to stiff and panicked. Le Tu was the first to react. She rushed forward like crazy to attack me. But before she could touch me, she was kicked out by Nam Canh. Ta Giai Giai looked at Le Tu falling to the ground, pointed at me and cursed: "Lam Yen, you scoundrel, just wait!" "Nam Canh, are your eyes blind? Why do you stand up to protect this kind of woman? Have you never met a woman in your life?"Nam Canh raised his hand. The bodyguards standing behind him stepped forward and used tape to cover the mouths of both Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai. "Young lady of the Nam family, are you also someone you can insult?" The panic in Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai's eyes was like a scene in a horror movie. But they had no chance to say anything more. Around, many people had gathered. Some people film, some people just stand and watch good drama. Soon, this became a problem

hot talent. Because their cruel actions were so terrible, they immediately caused a wave of outrage. Many people started throwing trash at them. I stood by, coldly watching them receive their retribution. Soon, the police arrived and took Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai away. The Le and Ta families were also pushed into the eye of the public opinion storm. Very quickly, these two families will be investigated. There aren't many businesses that can withstand rigorous investigation, let alone two families as hollow as this. Furthermore, the Nam family will not give them a chance to reverse the situation. The outcome of the Le and Ta families was decided: complete collapse.26The party that belonged to me continued as usual. The commotion between Le Tu and Ta Giai Giai is just an added joke. Like before, I was a joke in their eyes. No one cares about their embarrassment, only ridicule. Amidst the sparkling lights, I saw Luc Dinh An. He wore a black suit, still neat and elegant as before. But I am no longer the old me anymore. Only a few months have passed but it feels like a century has passed. He walked forward, keeping a certain distance from me. Silently looking at me. Maybe it's because I'm so surprising to you right now that you don't know what to say. After a while, he bowed his head, his voice filled with fatigue: "You have found a family, I am really happy for you." I raised my head to look at him. Frankly, calmly. "Luc Dinh An, thank you for saving me from the suffering of the past. Even though we are both full of wounds now, I still hope you are at peace." Hearing those words, Luc Dinh An's heart suddenly tightened. He couldn't describe exactly what this feeling was. It's suffocating, painful, and difficult to let go... Only when people experience painful separation can they realize how deep love is. But once they are truly separated, there is no chance of meeting again. He has never felt this pain. But when he realized that, that was also the moment he lost her. "Yen Yen." His voice trembled. "I know, I used to be very bad, I ignored your feelings." "I never really loved anyone." "Everyone thought I loved Le Tu." "But actually..." I interrupted him: "I don't love anyone, I only love myself." Luc Dinh An was speechless, not knowing how to refute. "Can't you really give me another chance? I will change..." I shook my head: "No need, Luc Dinh An." "Yen Yen, I..." "Let's go our separate ways in peace, don't make me feel disgusted with you anymore." I turned around to leave. But suddenly he grabbed my wrist tightly and pulled me into his arms. He squeezed so tightly, I couldn't move. Before I could say anything, he whispered in my ear: "I love you, from the moment I saved you, a seed sprouted in my heart." "It's just that it sprouted too late." "From now on, a disgusting person like me won't bother you anymore." "There's no need to go to court, I'll go with you to sign the divorce papers." 27 The day Luc Dinh An and I went to file for divorce, all the elders of the Luc family were present to apologize to me. They all hope I don't divorce Luc Dinh An. Luc's mother personally held my hand and led me upstairs to talk. She gave me the Luc family's heirloom bracelet. "Yen Yen, don't worry, if Dinh An dares to do bad things again in the future, I will beat him to death." "Since you left, Tinh Da has always been sad." "Out of respect for the child, give Dinh An one more chance, okay?" I looked at the precious bracelet on her hand, but did not accept it. This bracelet is only for the daughter-in-law of the Luc family. But before, she didn't give it to me. Now, she gently apologized and gave me this bracelet. Just because

Because my identity is the daughter of the Nam family, more noble than Le Tu. It turns out that power can really change people's attitudes. I smiled slightly and refused: "Auntie, this bracelet should be saved for someone more worthy of the Luc family." After saying that, I stood up and went downstairs. Luc Dinh An stood at the foot of the stairs, raised his head and looked at me intently. His hands clasped tightly, his eyes filled with hope. Four eyes meet. I suddenly felt a stinging sensation on the bridge of my nose. Maybe he really loves me. But we never really loved each other. I lowered my eyes, walked down step by step, and came in front of him. "Let's go." "Where are you going?" "Go get the divorce papers." 28 After the divorce, Luc Dinh An often secretly followed Lam Yen from hidden corners, where no one could see. He often wondered. If that morning, he did not wear a shirt embroidered with the word "Tu". If there was a party that night, the person accompanying him would be Lam Yen. If at Luc Tinh Da's birthday party, he could remember her. Would his and her story not end so hastily? But life is a one-way street. There's no turning back. Everything between him and her was buried in the light rain that day. Lam Yen is not married, nor is she dating. In her field of work, she shines brightly. She meets a lot of people. Her life began to become colorful. But there was still no man next to her. He often thought to himself. Maybe she still loves him. But as soon as that thought crossed his mind, he felt ridiculous. She was still single, never turning her head to look at him once. That was enough to see how bad he was in her heart. But even so, Luc Dinh An still felt happy. He was still her only man.29 However, on Valentine's Day three years later, Lam Yen walked out with a man by her side. And that man is Du Thanh Hoai. Luc Dinh An sat in the car. He stared at them. His grip on the steering wheel became tighter and tighter, to the point where his knuckles turned white. They went to the crowded snack street. Amidst the bustling scene of the human world, they talked and looked at each other warmly. Luc Dinh An weaved through the crowd, looking towards Lam Yen and Du Thanh Hoai. Her smile was bright and gentle, her eyes were clear and full of joy. All of those things no longer belong to you. Amidst the bustling sounds of the streets, her beauty magnified in his eyes. My chest began to ache. It was the pain of being torn apart when she completely left his world. It turns out this is the real feeling of loving someone. Even if it hurts to the core, he doesn't dare to disturb her for even a moment. He quietly followed them like a thief. But they were completely unaware of his presence. Luc Dinh An stopped walking. The stream of people quickly obscured Lam Yen's silhouette. He no longer saw her. She has started a new life. And he is still stuck in the quagmire of the past. Ahead is a romantic and idyllic scene of everyday life. But he can only turn his back and sink into the distance, where the dim city lights last forever.——End——
