Chapter 6 — Lotus Flower Against Destiny

8

Hearing that, Trieu Le panicked and grabbed my hand tightly. Afraid that the next second I will jump out the window. She knew I had nothing to worry about now, so she said jumping off the building wasn't trying to scare people. It's okay if I die, but I can't take her life with me. After all, she hasn't officially married Luc Hanh Chau yet, and hasn't taken the position of Mrs. Luc yet, so how can she be willing? Luc Hanh Chau looked at me contemptuously and without a trace withdrew his arm from Trieu Le's lap.

“You jump, I watch you dance.”

Trieu Le was so frantic that she couldn't stand it: "Mr. Hanh Chau, she can't jump. If she jumps, what should I do?" Luc Hanh Chau finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her.

"Do you mind? Why are you crying, it's just a coincidence, there's no way that if she dies, you die too."

He turned to look at me again: "Even though I don't know what method you used, you despicable woman, but you were only tied to Trieu Le. Since you two are dead, I can still find a hundred other women."

“Just based on that, do you want to threaten me?”

Trieu Le covered her face and looked at Luc Hanh Chau in disbelief.

"You bastard! How can you say such words? I'm still pregnant with your child!"

Indeed. What illusions can you hold on to this kind of evil person? The sweet and gentle love of the past, once his interests were threatened, it was said to be thrown away. Just like Luc Hanh Chau said, without Trieu Le, there is no shortage of women who want to sit in the position of Mrs. Luc. No matter how evil Luc Hanh Chau is, no matter how despicable he is. As long as the Luc family has not collapsed, he can still be stubborn to the end. The party had ended, most of the guests had left, and not many people paid attention to the strangeness here. I wasn't interested in watching them dog bite dog. Just thinking about what Luc Hanh Chau just blurted out without thinking.

What exactly is a "Talisman"?

A clue flashed in my head, and I put all the recent pieces together. The truth of some stories gradually emerged. At that time, Bui Thieu Thoi ran over, saw my red and swollen cheeks, and was about to get angry. I grabbed my hand and pulled me back. I took out a string of jade stones from my chest: "Luc Hanh Chau, the amulet you mentioned isn't this one?" I smashed the jade block in front of everyone, revealing the yellow paper inside. Luc Hanh Chau's expression changed and he reached out to grab it. During the chaos, the talisman was torn and all the powder inside fell out. Bui Thieu Thoi was about to bend down to pick it up, but I stopped him.

“Don't touch it, it's ashes.”

He looked at me suspiciously, I took a deep breath.

"From the moment I treated Grandpa Bui, I felt strange. There was no reason why my soul wouldn't return, my mind wouldn't wake up, until I found this pendant in Grandpa Bui's heart."

Bui Thieu Thoi still didn't understand: "But this is something my third uncle brought back from the temple, saying it had already been cleared."

“When my grandfather first put it on, his body gradually became stronger and his eyes became clearer. How could this jade cause harm?”

I don't blame him for not knowing, ordinary people really don't understand the key points inside.

“That proves that your third uncle colluded with the Luc family, wanting to gradually devour the Bui family.”

“These ashes probably belong to a member of the Luc family Your grandfather's body built the altar, and it attracts the fortune of the Bui family."

“Whatever a strong body is, it's just a reflection. If I had come a little later, my soul would have passed through Vong Xuyen, even a lotus flower wouldn't be able to bring it back."

Seeing that I told the whole truth, Luc Hanh Chau put on a fake smile, intending to slyly let it go. 「Master Bui, don't listen to this despicable woman! Everything about the lotus flower, everything about the ashes, it's all fake.」 「You have to believe in science, isn't Grandpa Bui still alive? Your Bui family is also thriving, not to mention attracting good luck.」 Luc Hanh Chau didn't know, but Bui Thieu Thoi understood. That year, Bui's grandfather was in a coma. What dangers did he have to face? Core people were eliminated, partners withdrew capital one by one, and even several subsidiaries went bankrupt one after another. He always thought it was because he was not doing well in business. Unexpectedly, there were also the hands of the Luc family and my third uncle. Before Bui Thieu Thoi could take action, Luc Hanh Chau was hit by a fierce itch. 「Itchy, so itchy! Go away, go away!」 He took off his jacket, scratched his shirt through his hand, but still felt it wasn't enough, he even lay down on the ground and scratched. Looking closely, Luc Hanh Chau's back, arms, and even face were covered with blisters, spreading all over his body.
