Chapter 13 — Light Cannot Be Stolen

"Her mother is seriously ill."

"Little brother always needs money too."

"For several years now."

"I always try to take care of her family."

"Actually..."

"I don't want to bring this up."

"But I also don't want to be accused of being a parasite."

See that photo. My eyes... Finally turned cold. He wanted to attack me. I accept. But drag my mother and younger brother in. Wanting to force me to bow my head. Right after that. My mother appeared in the live connection. She just wiped her tears. Just talking to the camera.

"Van Van has been stubborn since childhood."

"It's always been like that."

"Canh Xuyen is a very good child."

"For our family..."

"There's nothing to criticize."

"I don't understand how she made things turn out like this."

"You two are about to get married."

"What's wrong..."

"Can't we just close the door and tell each other?"

Duong Niem lowered his voice.

"Don't be sad."

"It's all my fault."

My mother immediately shook her head.

"Nem Niem."

"I know you have suffered a lot of injustice."

"If Van Van bullies you..."

"I'm sorry, please replace it."

Hua Lam suddenly turned to look at me.

"Are you crazy?"

I said nothing. In screen. My mother continued.

"If you're watching a livestream."

"Then listen to mom."

"Stop causing trouble."

"Sorry Canh Xuyen."

"Women..."

"Too strong."

"It won't end well."

The popularity of the livestream skyrocketed. Co Canh Xuyen bowed his head. Playing the role of a lovesick man pushed to the edge.

"Tham Van."

"I still leave you a way out."

"Just come back."

"The wedding will still take place as before."

"The things you did..."

"I won't calculate."

Hua Lam angrily picked up the phone.

"I will post the statement now."

I reached out to hold her back.

"Wait another ten minutes."

Hua Lam tried to suppress his anger.

"What are you waiting for?"

I looked at my mother's familiar yet strange face on the screen.

"He said the last sentence."

Co Canh Xuyen did not disappoint me. He looked straight into the lens. The voice was filled with pain.

"If Tham Van continues not to speak."

"I am forced to disclose all financial transactions between the two of us."

"To prove..."

"I have never mistreated her."

"I also hope..."

"Some magazines and customers..."

"Don't be led astray by her one-sided words."

Hua Lam turned to ask me.

"In his hands..."

"What's there?"

I calmly replied.

"False loan documents."

Hua Lam frowned.

"How do you know?"

I smiled softly.

"Before..."

"He once gave me a blank confirmation form to sign."

"It says it's used to settle the studio's books."

"Did you... really sign it back then?"

Hua Lam was so impatient that he jumped up.

"Tham Van."

"Normally you're so smart."

"Why is this so confusing?"

I looked at Co Canh Xuyen's face trying to show pain on the livestream screen. Laugh softly.

"Because..."

"I really want to marry him."

Hua Lam was silent. Ten minutes later. Co Canh Xuyen took out a file of documents.

"This is the loan confirmation."

"The past few years."

"Because of family circumstances."

"Tham Van has borrowed money from me many times."

"Total amount..."

"Not small at all."

"I never asked her to pay."

The comments section immediately exploded. Duong Niem covered his mouth. Face full of surprise.

"Headmaster..."

"Why have you never told this story?"

Co Canh Xuyen smiled bitterly.

"I don't want her to lose face."

On the other end of the line. My mother sighed softly.

"Canh Xuyen..."

"It's me who is sorry for you."

Co Canh Xuyen immediately said:

"Don't say that."

"As long as Van Van is willing to come back."

"You can ignore anything."

I turned off the livestream. Hua Lam looked at me.

"What now?"

I hold the phone. Make a call. First important call of the day. It's also the last time... I used a phone call to toss the pieces of the first ten chapters. The other end of the line picked up the phone very quickly. I said calmly.

"Sorry..."

"Bring the original to Van Linh Magazine."

The other party replied respectfully.

"Already on the way."

Hua Lam looked at me. I put the phone away.

"One person..."

"Hold something for me."

She didn't ask more. Right at that moment. There was a knock on the door. Chu Khai returned. His face was even whiter than in the morning.

"Editor Hua."

"The Board of Directors requires..."

"Miss Tham immediately stopped all public cooperation activities."

Hua Lam smiled coldly.

"Do you still dare to come back?"

Chu Khai didn't dare look at her. Just look at me.

"The loan confirmation that Co Canh Xuyen gave..."

"The board has seen it."

"They said..."

"If you can't explain clearly."

"Van Linh Magazine..."

"Can't take the risk."

I slowly stood up. Hua Lam was startled.

"Where are you going?"

"To the editorial office."

Zhou Kai was stunned. I put on my shirt.

"Didn't he want me to speak up?"

"I will answer directly."
