Chapter 3 — Mermaid's Bride

I read this, my face turned red like fire. Hot blood flowed from his ears to his neck, and he was so embarrassed by the bullets that he didn't dare to raise his head. "Oh my god! Why didn't anyone say this sooner? I was preparing for a non-human creature addict! If I knew the scenario was like this... who would want to die!" In the living room, everyone was still surrounding Chu Dat. "Chu Dat, Tri Diem listens to you the most, quickly advise him! Don't let him do anything foolish!" A trace of impatience flashed across Chu Dat's face. He understood best - Tri Diem was already scared to death of pain, how could she really take a knife and commit suicide? In his eyes, this was just a threat, wanting him to keep her in the Chu family. But... you have to understand, even if you are unhappy, the future female head of the Chu family will still be Chung Diem Diem. He couldn't continue to pamper her over and over again. "Tri Diem, quickly put down the knife! What is the need to make such an unsightly noise?" "Your parents just want the best for you. If you really don't want to get married, I will ask them to let you stay for another two years." “But first of all… if you stay, absolutely do not bully Diem Diem anymore.” Before I finished speaking, I decisively put down the knife. Then he ran straight to the Chu family's parents, his eyes shining: "Ah... so... when is the wedding scheduled? Can... be held earlier?" The air suddenly stiffened. Everyone was stunned. It took Chu Dat a while to regain his composure, and immediately grabbed my wrist: "Tri Diem! Stop joking, there must be a limit to any joke!" I glared at him, shook my hand away: "Who's kidding you?" Mother-in-law saw that I was temporarily calm, quickly pretended to be quiet, and said a few words of comfort: "It's good that you can think clearly... Mr. Lam's idea is... we will get engaged next month, if you have no opinions..." I immediately replied: "No opinions." The words hadn't finished yet... The chandelier in the living room suddenly fell, hitting the spot where I was standing just now. Chung Diem Diem saw me safe and sound, her eyes flashed with resentment, staring at me. At that moment, I suddenly remembered the bullets that had appeared before - After I accidentally damaged my vocal cords, my natural voice would be "picked up" by her, and under Chu Dat's crazy promotion, Chung Diem Diem would release several hot albums in a row. I absent-mindedly glanced at Chung Diem Diem, the corners of my lips curled up into a faint smile: "Miss Diem Diem, why is your face so unsightly? Are you... disappointed?" Hearing that, everyone's eyes in the room simultaneously turned to Chung Diem Diem, mixed with suspicion. Seeing this, Chung Diem Diem immediately "played the role" of the little caper script, holding Chu Dat's arm tightly, his eyes filled with tears, sobbing chokingly: "No... I don't... I'm just... still scared." "Mieu Mieu, I know you hate me, but I never thought of harming you..." Chu Dat saw the person in his arms crying, his eyes immediately became cold, his voice lowered, carrying an irresistible command: "Tri Diem, did the Chu family teach you this? Where is your upbringing?" "Sorry." If it were before, hearing Chu Dat talk to me in such a cold voice, I would definitely cry until my eyes turned red. But now... I just calmly looked at him, then laughed out loud: "You're right... I really should apologize. I'm sorry I shouldn't have come back here, I shouldn't have disturbed your warm "family party"." I raised my head, looked straight into his eyes, my tone was as gentle as the breeze: "Don't be angry anymore... Anyway, I'm about to get married. Even if you find it annoying, we won't see each other very often anymore." Hearing that, Chu Dat was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, his voice filled with contempt: "What are you trying to do again? Do you want to be "soft and tight" with me?" “Tri Diem, I'll say it for the last time — Don't even dream of hitting me.” At that moment, Chung Diem Diem let out a weak moan: "Ah Dat... it seems... my hand was cut... it hurts so much..." I lowered my eyes, saw her wound... just a tiny scratch, a few millimeters long, I didn't look closely and thought it was nothing. If we don't treat it right away... I'm afraid it will... heal on its own. Chu Dat immediately tensed up, quickly grabbed her hand, looked worried, and urgently told the housekeeper: "Quick! Get the medicine box!" But for some reason, before bowing his head to treat the wound, he slightly turned his head to look at me. His heart suddenly felt empty, an invisible feeling of loss crept into his heart, as if... I was really going to leave his world forever. “Ah Dat… Ah Dat!” Chung Diem Diem's soft call brought him back to his senses. Chu Dat squeezed her hand, his voice softened, and he comforted her. He thought to himself: I must be thinking too much. With Tri Diem's personality, she will not let go easily. She was definitely just jealous because she saw him treating Chung Diem Diem well. That's right... she... still... still loves you. 5 The next day, the Lam family immediately sent someone over. As a newly rising force in Ho Thanh's upper class, the Lam family always carries a veil of mystery. It is said that he started his business in the jewelry industry and now has huge assets and extremely powerful influence. Even the Chu family, which was famous for its power in the upper class, could only flatter and curry favor in front of the Lam family. Rumor has it outside that the head of the Lam family is a tycoon over the age of fifty, with cruel tactics, a rough face, and a fierceness like that of a fierce god. Carrying anxiety, I tiptoed into the living room. At that time, the other person was standing with his back turned, looking out the window. Black shirt, tactical straps, a pair of legs so long that the angle of view tilted upward. I looked at the wide back, and a word suddenly flashed in my mind — "Too sexy." When he turned around… I added another word — “Master.” Lam Ky glanced at me slightly, didn't say anything, just gestured for me to sit down. He conveniently opened the laptop in front of him, the screen immediately displayed a few sensational newspaper headlines: 【The Chu family's adopted daughter is infatuated with the rich heir, and threatens her with death because she wants to climb high.】 【Deep in love but hopeless, Young Master Chu is cold and unloving, cutting off his relationship with Tri Diem.】 "..." Huh? Is this... something wrong somewhere? I stared at the title, screaming in my heart: When did I fall in love? Who said "deep love" is one-sided? In the end I quietly bowed my head, pretending... it didn't exist. I used to think that CEO Lam Thi was a liberal, uncompromising person. Unexpectedly... this nonsense news could also reach him. Thinking about the rumors outside that Lam Ky specializes in illegal business, I suddenly felt... this was no different "put your hand in the tiger's mouth". “Do you like him that much?” Lam Ky's voice was low, without any fluctuations, his eyes calmly looked straight at me. "That's right, a childhood love affair of more than ten years, it must be difficult to let go." He leaned forward slightly, his tone still cold as water: "But... if you agree to be my wife, I hope Miss Tri... can soon let go of the past." I was stunned. I thought he would get angry, question me, warn me... I didn't expect Lam Ky to be incredibly calm, talking to me as if discussing business. I looked at him bewildered, muttering in my heart: Is this... the rumored villain? What is that "murky mermaid" and "perverted personality and crazy love"? It's so obvious that it's serious and proper! 【Yo yo yo, Mr. Lam is so cool now, the boss's aura is even stronger.】 【On the way here, he was clearly crying, his eyes were red, his palms were clutching red marks, he was so scared that he was worried that Tri Diem would refuse.】 I looked at the bullets passing in front of my eyes, then looked at Lam Ky sitting across from me with a cold face, feeling like... my brain and reality were cut in half, completely mismatched. Are you… a person who cries often? It doesn't look similar at all. Lam Ky saw me stunned, frowned slightly, her long fingers lightly tapped the table top with a "clack" sound, her low and cold voice rang out: "Miss Tri. Considering the current situation of public opinion in Kinh Thi, to avoid causing more trouble, I suggest you move to Ho Thi, temporarily taking the name of my fiancee." "First, we can avoid media fabrication and defamation. Second, it is also convenient for Miss Tri to soon forget her ex." He paused, his eyes unintentionally scanning me: "Besides... I heard that Miss Tri likes swimming. My swimming pool... is very big."
