Chapter 1 — Mother Standing On The Other Side Of The Horseshoe

When my daughter came home dragging her dress and yoke into pieces, the first thing I did was collect evidence and bring the guy who had assaulted her to court. However, on the day of court, my husband - a notorious gold lawyer - sided with that person. Just because he is the son of the "bright moonlight" in his heart. He rejected every bit of our evidence, even asking my daughter to recreate the scene as evidence. My daughter su/y su/p on the spot, and he won a resounding victory. The trial ended, I asked him again and again:

“Thinh Du, why?”

He said again with a righteous look:

“I know that over the years you have always paid attention to my past with Thanh So.

But the fact that you followed your daughter to slander Thanh So's son as a criminal is too much!" My daughter couldn't stand her father's anger and spent 44 hours of her life in pain in her bedroom. I frantically called Thinh Du. When the call was connected, melodious dance music sounded in my ears.

“I was participating in the purification party that Thanh So prepared for her son.

Hang up now, don't call again.” I stared at my daughter's body for a long time, then pulled out a phone number from the blacklist.

“I want to overturn the verdict, I know you have a way.”

“Have you thought carefully, do you want me to help you turn the case?”

“If this case is overturned, Thinh Du's reputation in the world will be completely destroyed.”

"It was you who used all your relationships to push him to the position he is in now, how can you bear it?"

On the phone, Tong Canh's voice carried scrutiny. He doesn't believe me, I don't blame him. Anyway, in the past, because I wanted to be with Thinh Du, I ignored all objections and broke off my engagement with him. I didn't answer him, but said directly: "If it's convenient, please help me draft a divorce agreement." After hanging up, people from the funeral home also arrived. After the farewell ceremony, I watched with my own eyes as the staff placed the woman into the crematorium.

With a loud bang, a clicking sound was heard from time to time in the crematorium, it was the girl's body screaming.

She is asking me to take revenge on her behalf. I took my daughter's urn and went directly to Thinh Du's law office. Inside the office was bustling and noisy. Thinh Du is holding a commendation flag and taking pictures with Tham Thanh So and her son. The teasing sounds of colleagues rang out in my ears:

“Lawyer Thinh, you got married too early, you and Ms. Tham stand next to each other and are a perfect match!”

"That's right, people who don't know would think you two are a family of three."

“Don't talk nonsense.”

Thinh Du pretended to seriously reprimand, but the corners of his lips could not hide the smile. I held the urn of my daughter's ashes, my fingers almost buried deep into the box. My daughter's bones are not yet cold, yet Thinh Du and the ringleader have become "a family of three". Perhaps the murderous intent on my body was too heavy, Thinh Du finally saw me. His eyebrows frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?" I gave the divorce agreement in my hand to him: "Here for a divorce." The corners of his lips curled up in impatience.

“Just now my colleague was talking nonsense, you're not that petty, are you?” "What are you holding? Put it down first, sit down." Drink tea with Thanh So for a while.”

My voice was gloomy: "Nieu Nieu's ashes." The atmosphere in the office immediately froze, the smile on Thinh Du's face disappeared without a trace. He knocked down the urn of ashes in my hand with one hand.

“Haven't you caused enough trouble? You don't know how to talk in front of customers." “Neu Nieu is our daughter, why would you curse her like that?”

I stared blankly at the jar of ashes falling to the ground, panicked and knelt down. Luckily it didn't spill out. But I still feel sad for my daughter, even when she dies, she won't be able to have peace. I hugged the urn of ashes tightly to my heart, the tears that I had been holding back for so long finally burst out uncontrollably. Suddenly a big hand was placed on his head, Thinh Du sighed softly: "Okay, don't cry anymore, I have an interview later, wait until the interview is over and we'll talk properly." He pulled me up from the ground and coaxed me softly: "Come with me, okay?" Before, he often patted my head like that, telling me to follow him, at that time our hearts were both sweet. I nodded silently. If you think about it, you can talk about divorce with him. But as soon as I pulled the driver's seat door open, Tham Thanh So was one step faster to squeeze in.

"I'm car sick, I can only sit in the passenger seat. Surely Mrs. Thinh won't notice?"

I didn't pay attention to her, turned around and walked towards the back seat. Tham Thanh So clearly didn't expect me to talk so easily. He was stunned for a moment before turning around and closing the car door. I sat in the backseat, clutching my daughter's urn of ashes. But obviously Tham Thanh So did not let me go so easily. While preparing to get off the bus, she glanced at her phone and suddenly exclaimed:

“Ah Du, the host just announced that I have to wear a formal suit, what should I do now?”

After saying that, her eyes kept glancing towards me in the back seat. Thinh Du saw the short-sleeved vest I was wearing on my upper body and did not hesitate: "Take it off for Thanh So." But now that it's summer, if I take it off I'm left with only underwear. And Tham Thanh So was wearing a two-piece dress, obviously she couldn't take it off and give it to me. I don't want to wear it either.

“Impossible.” I refuse.

Tham Thanh So bit her lower lip, "A Du, it's okay, after all, the main character in this interview is you." “It doesn't matter whether I participate or not.”

“No, if it weren't for you, this interview wouldn't have happened.”

After saying that, Thinh Du did not say another word, crawled into the backseat, reached out and pulled my shirt off my body.

“Thirty-something years old, who wants to look at me?”

I covered my almost naked body and raised my head to meet Tham Thanh So's provocative eyes.

“Lady Thinh, sorry, we are really in a hurry.”

They left side by side. Before leaving, Thinh Du even locked the car door.

“The car has anti-peeping film on it, please stay in the car obediently.”

But it seems he forgot, it's summer now. At noon, the high temperature was nearly 35 degrees, the car was parked in the outdoor parking lot. In less than ten minutes, I was almost suffocated. At the last moment, I suddenly remembered that the spare key when buying the car was always placed in the passenger seat compartment. Exhausted, I drove home. That night, as expected, he did not return. As for me, sitting alone in my daughter's bedroom, holding a doll The little girl hugged her, tears streaming down her face. I cried until I was tired, so I fell asleep. The next morning, I was awakened by a loud noise. I walked out of my daughter's room, the scene before my eyes was Tham Thanh So wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen. She smiled brightly at me: "Are you awake? It's almost time for breakfast." That look, as if she was the female owner of this house. Next to him, Thinh Du helped bring breakfast to the table.

“Thanh So said yesterday it was lucky I lent her my shirt, otherwise I wouldn't have had such a successful interview.”

"You don't know, after the interview was on hot search, this morning the law office's scheduling phone was dead."

"No, it's just your personal charm that conquered netizens."

Thinh Du and Tham Thanh So's eyes were entwined with darkness in mid-air. And I heard the keyword in what they said, took out my phone and clicked on the hot search section. The topic #Golden Lawyer Thinh Du, upright, impartial, righteous and self-destructive # obviously hangs at the top of the list. A bad feeling rose from the soles of my feet, I quickly clicked on the video. In the video, Thinh Du and Tham Thanh So discussed my daughter's case, many details that had never been published before became a topic of conversation in their mouths. Finally, he used a statement that it was just a joke between my daughter and me to conclude the case. The comments section was filled with curses against me and my daughter. 【Is this woman paranoid? Do you want to be fucked by a man that much?】 【I don't mind helping her realize her dream.】 【Like mother, like daughter, her mother is definitely a slut.】 …… I can't bear it, my daughter is no longer in the world, and I still have to endure these unreasonable scoldings. I grabbed the plate on the table and threw it at Thinh Du.

"You stepped on a girl to climb high, it's not a good death!"

The porcelain plate shattered, the breakfast just finished was scattered all over the floor, Tham Thanh So panicked and ran to Thinh Du's side.

“A Du, are you okay?”

Confirming that Thinh Du was okay, she pouted, feeling sorry for herself and said:

“Ah Du, shouldn't I help you arrange the interview?”

“I thought Van Tinh would be very happy to see you become a 'star lawyer'.”

Thinh Du's disgusted eyes shot towards me:

"Tran Van Tinh, you can't see me getting better, can you?"

“Do you know, becoming a 'star lawyer', how much extra money can you earn a year?"

“Aren't you all for this house?”

Just as I was about to refute, Tham Thanh So, who was standing next to me, suddenly fell down, her finger cleverly hitting a piece of broken porcelain. Immediately saw blood.
