Chapter 14 — My Daughter Was Robbed of Her School Placement, I Made Both Families Pay

"Looking for justice?"

I looked at Tong's mother.

"What justice do you want?"

As soon as she saw me, Tong's mother immediately shed tears.

"Van Duong..."

"Do you have to force Van Tinh to death to agree?"

I calmly asked:

"Is she dead?"

A few bursts of laughter were immediately heard around. Tong's mother's face stiffened. Tong Van Tinh raised her head.

"I came here today..."

"Not for myself."

"So for whom?"

"For Tieu Trach."

She pushed Tong Trach forward.

"You made him laugh at his classmates."

"Being transferred to such a far branch."

"Every day he asks me if I don't deserve to go to a good school."

I squatted down and looked at Tong Trach.

"Tieu Trach."

"I want to go to a good school..."

"...or do you want to take other people's things?"

The boy immediately hid behind Tong Van Tinh. Tong Van Tinh quickly said:

"It's just a child."

I stood up.

"Children are children."

"But his mother isn't."

At that moment, the host came to invite me into the hall. Tong Van Tinh suddenly raised her voice:

"Shen Van Duong!"

"Do you dare to stand in front of all the media and say that you did not rely on the power of the Tham family to force me to apologize?"

I stopped walking. Tong Van Tinh was stunned. I took the microphone. Turn around to face all reporters and guests.

"Before the press conference started."

"I want to deal with something private."

Uncle Chau brought the documents. The large screen on the back immediately lit up. First page. It is a behind-the-scenes recording of a defamatory article posted online. Second page. This is Tong Van Tinh's transfer history to media accounts. Tong Van Tinh's face immediately turned pale.

"Are you investigating me?"

I calmly replied:

"You pay for the heat yourself."

"It's not difficult to find evidence."

The crowd immediately stirred.

"It turns out she hired someone to post the article herself?"

"And took me to sell carpets."

Tong's mother panicked.

"What do those money transfers prove?"

Uncle Chau continued to play the surveillance video. On screen. Tong Van Tinh was standing outside the school office and said to the teacher:

"You just say Tham Niem doesn't meet the admission requirements."

"Just children."

"If you cry for a while, you'll forget it."

Tong Van Tinh immediately rushed forward to cover the screen. But was stopped by security. She shouted:

"Let me turn it off now!"

I looked at her.

"Don't you want to be fair?"

"This is fair."

At the back of the crowd. Pho Thua Nghien's face was extremely unsightly. Tong Trach suddenly burst into tears.

"Mom lies!"

Tong Van Tinh turned around to hug her son. But the boy backed away.

"Mom said Niem Niem stole my dad!"

All cameras turned towards her at the same time. At this moment, Tong Van Tinh was truly frightened.

"Stop spinning!"

"Don't spin me!"

I put down the microphone. Look across the hall.

"Who still thinks she's pitiful..."

"...can continue to stand up for it."

No one spoke up. The press conference officially begins. Thanh Hoa representative introduced new projects. Towards the end of the program. Mr. Tham stepped onto the stage.

"I want to announce a decision."

He looked towards me.

"Tham Van Duong will officially take on the position of CEO of Thanh Hoa Education Group."

Applause echoed throughout the hall. Father Pho was the first person to stand up and applaud. Then there is Mrs. Trieu. Still The Song family... Was pushed to the outer edge of the crowd. The makeup on Tong Van Tinh's face was smudged. She stared at me. There was only unwillingness left in his eyes. Mr. Tham handed the appointment decision to me. I take it.

"Thank you, dad."

There was immediately a buzz below.

"It turns out she is actually Chairman Tham's daughter."

"The Song family also said that people rely on the Pho family."

I looked down. Pho Thua Nghien is also clapping. Those hands raised very slowly. After the press conference ended. Tong Van Tinh stopped me.

"Tham Van Duong."

"I already have the Tham family."

"Why do you still have to rob me of Thua Nghien?"

I ask again:

"Is he an object?"

She bit her lip.

"I know you love him."

"I know."

"So what?"

Her tears fell again.

"I've been with him since I was little."

I calmly replied:

"And I got married and had children with him."

Tong Van Tinh immediately became speechless. I looked at her.

"Tong Van Tinh."

"You didn't lose because my status was higher."

"But because you were mistaken."

"She thought the tolerance of others was her own bravery."

She angrily raised her hand to slap me. I immediately held her wrist tightly.

"There are cameras all around."

Tong Van Tinh immediately withdrew his hand. Right at that moment. Pho Thua Nghien came over.

"Van Tinh."

Tong Van Tinh looked at him.

"Are you also on her side now?"

Deputy Thua Nghien replied:

"I stand for the truth."

She laughed. Bitter laughter.

"What is the truth?"

"You treat me well."

"I protect you."

"I let Tieu Trach call me dad."

"You make me think..."

"...you still have a chance."

Pho Thua Nghien's voice lowered.

"I never promised anything."

Tong Van Tinh turned to look at me.

"Hear that?"

"The man you married..."

"...really good at brushing off responsibility."

I calmly replied:

"That's why I got divorced."

Pho Thua Nghien's face immediately turned white. I walked past the two people. Uncle Chau was standing next to the car waiting for me.

"The Deputy Mayor has confirmed the new person in charge."

"She is Pho Thua Nghien's cousin, Pho Thanh Nghi."

I nodded.

"How is she?"

"Work decisively."

"And doesn't like Tong Van Tinh."

I laughed.

"Then we can discuss cooperation."

Uncle Chau said:

"But Deputy Thua Nghien has sent an application to participate in negotiations."

"Not approved."

"He said he wanted to apologize to you directly."

I opened the car door.

"If you want to apologize, go find Niem Niem."

I sat in the back seat. Niem Niem is attentively painting. She showed me the picture. In the picture there is me. There is a grandfather. There's the baby herself. There is no Deputy Thua Nghien. I didn't ask anything. Niem Niem brought the picture over.

"Is this house okay?"

I gently kissed my daughter's forehead.

"Very good."

Three days later. The Song family returned the apartment and 2,000,000 yuan. The moment money is transferred to the account. Tong's mother called again. I don't answer the phone.
