Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — Mother-in-law Gave Me 500,000 Yuan To Get Away, I Freeze Her Son's 100,000,000 Yuan
The leisurely laughter gradually faded away. Diep Tri Thu took a deep breath. My nails almost tore my palms.
"If you don't let me tell."
"Can I at least knock over their wine glasses?"
"Impossible."
"To Van Tinh!"
"Sit down."
Diep Tri Thu gritted his teeth. Finally sat down. But her whole body was tense like a string about to break. The waiter started bringing up the appetizers. The feast at table number 9 is clearly inferior to table number 1. Table number 1 has lobster and abalone. Our table only had mixed jellyfish and peanuts. Right at that moment. A shadow of a person passed by. Then stopped in front of my desk. I raised my head. Is a man over sixty years old. Hair has turned gray. He wore an old dark coat but the seams were extremely delicate. The style is completely different from the lavish suits at the party. The wrinkles at the corners of the mouth are very deep. His eyes were also strangely calm. He bowed slightly.
"Miss To."
"Long time no see."
Miss Su. Not... Lady Lam. Diep Tri Thu immediately glanced at me. I nodded slightly.
"Long time no see."
He stood straight. Don't say another word. Just turned around and left. Diep Tri Thu immediately leaned closer.
"An elder."
"What kind of elder would call me Miss To in this place and not Mrs. Lam?"
I don't answer. After the appetizers were served. The main dishes have not yet been served. The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed a bit. The front stage glowed under the spotlight. Right at that moment. Tham Nhuoc Lam walked over holding a glass of red wine from table number 1. She walks very slowly. Very leisurely. High heels step on the carpet almost without making a sound. But no matter where we go. Everyone's eyes turned to it. It's not because of the dress. It's not because of her face either. But because everyone knows... She is the real main character of this evening. Tham Nhuoc Lam stopped in front of me. A perfect smile finds no flaws.
"Sitting here alone is so sad."
"I brought you a glass of wine."
In her hand she was indeed holding a glass of red wine. Long, slender fingers hold the stem of the cup. Then put it in front of me.
"I don't drink alcohol."
"Sister-in-law, don't be polite."
"Today is such a happy day."
"You should at least take a sip."
Diep Tri Thu immediately reached out his hand.
"If you don't drink, don't drink."
"Just put it down."
The smile on Tham Nhuoc Lam's face stopped for a moment. But very quickly it returned to the way it was. When placing a glass of wine on the table. Her wrist turned slightly at an angle. Right at the moment the bottom of the glass just touches the table. Her elbow suddenly jerked outward. The glass of water in front of me was knocked over. Water immediately spilled onto the tablecloth. Right after that. Tham Nhuoc Lam cried out softly. The whole person staggered. The glass of red wine in her hand fell straight down on me. Red wine stained the gray dress. The dark red color spreads along each fiber of the fabric. Like a blooming blood flower. Tham Nhuoc Lam covered her mouth. The volume was just enough for three or four surrounding tables to hear.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
"I slipped."
"Are you okay?"
She said she slipped. But I see clearly. Her high heels still stood firmly on the carpet. Didn't slip even a little bit. The surrounding area immediately rang out soft chatter. Truong Thuy Lan stood up from table number 1. Quickly step forward. When I saw the red wine stains all over my chest. Her face immediately darkened.
"What's going on?"
"Miss Truong."
Tham Nhuoc Lam immediately spoke first.
"It was me who accidentally bumped into my sister-in-law."
"It's all my fault."
"You're too clumsy."
Truong Thuy Lan glanced at me. The corner of his mouth curled up in disdain.
"You really are too."
"Why wear bright colors to places like this?"
"Hurry up and clean it up."
"Don't sit here and make others lose face."
"She threw wine on me."
I said calmly. Truong Thuy Lan's face became even more unsightly.
"Nhuoc Lam said it was unintentional."
"What else do you want?"
"How many people are watching?"
"Don't cause trouble."
"Quickly go to the bathroom and clean up."
"The opening ceremony is about to begin."
The corners of Tham Nhuoc Lam's lips curled slightly. Very small movements. If you weren't staring at her, you wouldn't be able to detect it at all. That's not guilt. Diep Tri Thu suddenly stood up. The chair's legs rubbed hard on the carpet, making a heavy noise. I immediately held her arm.
"I'm going to the bathroom to change."
I slowly stood up. The red wine stain on the chest reflects the light. Emitting a dazzling dark red light. When passing by other tables. Someone bowed their head and pretended to look at their phone. Someone leaned close to their companion's ear and whispered something. No one asked me a single question:
"Are you okay?"
