Chapter 18 — Make Me Kneel to His Mistress, and I Will Reclaim His Fortune
Seeing me and Pho Van Dinh standing together. She immediately smiled pleasingly.
“Van Ninh.”
“Mom stewed soup for me.”
Hua Man stood next to her and muttered.
“The yellow weasel brings chicken soup to feed the chickens.”
I looked at the soup box in her hand.
“The day my mother met with trouble that year.”
“Where are you?”
Pho's mother's steps immediately stopped. The thermos box shook vigorously. The soup overflowed from the lid. Drops onto the tile floor. Pho Van Dinh looked at her. The smile on Pho's mother's face froze.
“Why do you ask that?”
I looked straight at her.
“Answer me.”
She placed the soup box on the chair. Raise your hand to adjust your scarf.
“It was many years ago.”
“Who can remember?”
Pho Van Dinh's voice lowered. Pho's mother suddenly became angry.
“Now you also force me to follow him?”
“I'm your mother!”
I looked at the puddle of soup on the ground. The rich smell of ginseng gradually spreads.
“That day.”
“You have met my mother, right?”
Pho's mother took half a step back.
"Do not have!"
She denied it too quickly. Pho Van Dinh gently closed his eyes.
“What happened in the end?”
Pho's mother looked at me. His eyes turned from pleasing to resentful.
“So Van Ninh!”
"You've got your company back, what else do you want?"
“Do we have to force the Pho family to death before we agree?”
I calmly replied:
“I was just asking about my mother.”
She screamed:
“Your mother's fate has nothing to do with me!”
Right at that moment. The hospital room door opened. The head nurse stood at the door. His face was pale.
“Your mother is awake.”
All sounds in my head seemed to disappear. I rushed straight into the hospital room. My mother opened her eyes. The thin hand clutched the bed sheet tightly. See me. Her lips trembled for a long time. Finally, a faint sound was emitted.
“Van Ninh…”
I immediately grabbed her hand. Her eyes slowly looked towards the door. Where Pho's mother is standing. Her hand suddenly tightened.
“Don't trust her.”
Pho's whole body stiffened. His face was pale. I bent down.
“What happened that year?”
My mother gasped. Voice interrupted.
“That day…”
“It was she who came looking for her mother.”
“What did you say?”
“Mom told me to take you away.”
“She said…”
“You are not worthy to enter the Pho family.”
“If you don't take me away…”
“She will make you unable to lift your head for the rest of your life.”
Pho's mother suddenly shouted.
“You lie!”
My mother looked straight at her. In those old eyes. No more fear. Only the truth remains.
“She pushed me.”
The entire hospital room fell silent. Pho's mother clung to the door frame. There was only one sentence left in my mouth, repeating it over and over again.
"Not me."
"Not me."
I turned to look at Pho Van Dinh.
“This is the real debt that the Pho family owes me.”
The day Pho's mother was taken to testify. Deputy Van Dinh stood in front of the hospital gate. From beginning to end, not a word was said. He wants to stop. But I didn't dare stop it. Pho's mother cried and called him.
“Van Dinh!”
“Mom does everything for me!”
Pho Van Dinh's hand hangs at his side. As if suddenly not knowing where to put it. Hua Man stood next to him and gloated.
“Retribution.”
“In the past, you bullied Van Ninh very hard, right?”
Pho's mother heard it. Immediately turned to curse me.
“So Van Ninh!”
“You comet!”
“Your mother fell on her own!”
“I just touched her once!”
The person in charge of the investigation immediately raised his head.
“What did you just say?”
“You only touched her once?”
Pho's mother's expression immediately changed. Declare it yourself. Bury yourself. So neat that no one needs to push it further. Pho Van Dinh closed his eyes. His shoulders seemed to slump a bit. I don't look at him anymore. My mother woke up not long after. After saying those words, he fell asleep. The doctor said it was a good sign. But I also told you absolutely not to provoke her. I just want her to be at peace. Lam Vy Vy disappeared for two days. On to the third day. She appeared in front of the company building. But not as Pho Van Dinh's new lover anymore. But it was blocked by a group of creditors. That day I came to hand over documents. Just came across that scene. Lam Vy Vy wearing a hat. Wear a mask. Want to sneak in through the side door. A jewelry store manager stopped her.
“Who will pay for the remaining money for the necklace?”
Lam Vy Vy lowered her voice.
“Find Deputy General.”
The manager smiled coldly.
“Mr. Pho said it was her personal consumption.”
Right after that. The owner of the evening dress shop also walked forward with her hands on her hips.
“The dress you returned yesterday had torn threads.”
“There's even alcohol involved.”
“We do not accept refunds.”
Lam Vy Vy started to panic.
“Do you know who I am?”
The landlady rolled her eyes.
“I know.”
“The female lead in the hottest clip in Hai Thanh these days.”
“People who steal credit for other people's charity projects.”
There were some uncontrollable laughter around. Lam Vy Vy yanked down her mask. Still trying to keep the last bit of arrogance on his face. But in his eyes... Real panic began to appear.
