Chapter 16 — My Daughter Was Robbed of Her School Placement, I Made Both Families Pay

I laughed.

"The one who caused trouble..."

"Always open with that sentence."

A few soft laughs rang out among the guests. Tong Van Tinh gritted her teeth.

"Tham Van Duong."

"Do you dare let everyone see how you teach your daughter to isolate Tieu Trach?"

She took out her phone. On the screen is a clipped video. In the video. Niem Niem is in Thanh Hoa's living room. The baby said:

"I don't want to play with Tong Trach."

And Tong Trach stood next to him and burst into tears. Guests immediately started chatting. Pho's mother's face changed.

"Nien Niem how can you say that?"

Tong Van Tinh immediately seized the opportunity.

"I know the kids are young."

"But children don't naturally become like that."

She looked at me.

"You hate me."

"You should teach your daughter to hate my son."

Pho Thua Nghien frowned and looked at Niem Niem.

"Nem Niem."

"Did you really say that?"

The girl's face immediately turned pale. I stood in front of my daughter.

"Don't ask her."

Tong Van Tinh was immediately proud.

"Why don't you ask?"

"Or are you afraid she will tell the truth?"

I looked at Uncle Chau. He nodded. Immediately afterwards, the large screen on the back lit up. The complete video is played. In the video. Tong Trach was the first to grab Niem Niem's box of puzzle toys. Niem Niem says:

"That's mine."

Tong Trach raised his head and replied:

"My mother said."

"In the future, your things will also become mine."

At that time, Niem Niem said:

"I don't want to play with you."

The whole hall fell into silence. Pho's mother covered her mouth with her hand. Tong Van Tinh's face turned pale. I continued to play the recording from the backstage of the birthday party. Every sentence and every word Tong Van Tinh said to Niem Niem was so clear that it could not be denied.

"I call you mom."

"I'll tell Tieu Trach to share my father with you."

"If not..."

"Sooner or later your father won't need you two anymore."

Pho Thua Nghien stood dumbfounded. There was no longer a trace of blood on his face. Niem Niem said in a low voice:

"You're not a bad child, right?"

I squeezed my daughter's hand.

"Not."

"I've never been like that."

Pho Thanh Nghi walked straight in front of Tong Van Tinh.

"Miss Tong."

"Please take your son out of here."

Tong Van Tinh was about to cry. Pho Thanh Nghi coldly interrupted:

"Stop crying."

"No one in the Pho family wants to see it anymore."

Laughter immediately rang out in the crowd. Tong Van Tinh's face turned red. Tong Trach pulled his mother's sleeve.

"Let's go home."

Tong Van Tinh strongly pushed the boy's hand away.

"Even you blame me?"

Tong Trach was so scared that he burst into tears. Pho Thua Nghien finally stepped forward. Pull the child behind you.

"He's just a kid."

Tong Van Tinh saw that scene. Suddenly burst out laughing.

"Look."

"I always care about you and your mother."

Pho Thua Nghien looked at her.

"I'm just afraid..."

"...you took advantage of even your own son."

Tong Van Tinh was stunned. I stand under the stage. Calmly speak:

"Tong Van Tinh."

"You don't lose to me."

"You lost to yourself."

All the guests looked towards her. She can't continue playing the pitiful role anymore. All I could do was cover my face and run away. Father Pho holds the microphone. The voice lowered.

"From today."

"The Pho family will end all personal relationships with Tong Van Tinh."

In the corner of the hall. Father Tong and mother Tong sat silently. The complexion is difficult It was as if someone had just stripped off their mask in public. Tong's mother was about to stand up and chase after her. But Father Tong pulled him back.

"Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

First time. She no longer stood up to protect Tong Van Tinh. The signing ceremony continues to take place. Pho Thanh Nghi signed on behalf of the Deputy Mayor. I signed on behalf of Thanh Hoa. Applause rang out non-stop. Pho Thua Nghien stood below. From start to finish, I didn't step up once. After the signing ends. He walked in front of Niem Niem.

"Nem Niem."

"Dad did too many things wrong."

Niem Niem looked at him.

"So later..."

"Dad, can I ask your opinion first?"

Pho Thua Nghien nodded.

"So now you don't want to hug Dad."

"I don't want dad to come to my house either."

His throat moved slightly. Niem Niem thought for a moment then said:

"When do you want to see dad?"

"I'll tell mom."

Pho Thua Nghien's eyes turned red.

"Dad will wait."

I didn't say anything for him. Pho Thanh Nghi stepped forward.

"Miss Shen."

"Happy cooperation."

I shook her hand.

"Happy cooperation."

She lowered her voice.

"Pho Thua Nghien is not worthy of you."

I laughed.

"You don't need to remind me of that."

Pho Thanh Nghi also laughed. The family party is over. Pho's mother ran out.

"Van Duong."

"I want to see Niem Niem often in the future."

"Ask Niem Niem first."

She nodded.

"I get it."

Right at that moment. Tong's mother came over. She looked at me. Lips moved several times.

"Van Duong..."

"Van Tinh it..."

I looked at her.

"You want to pray for her again?"

Tong's mother shook her head. Tears fell.

"I just wanted to ask..."

"Did you suffer a lot of self-pity when you were young?"

I was silent. She cried harder.

"Before..."

"I never asked."

I calmly replied:

"There's no need to ask now."

Tong's mother raised her head.

"Do you really not recognize me anymore?"

I looked at her.

"You're wrong."

"From now on..."

"I have never been truly accepted by her as my child."

She stood frozen in place. As if everything I wanted to say was stripped away. I took Niem Niem to the car. The car left the Pho family's house. Niem Niem leaned next to the window.

"Grandma is crying."

"Are you sad, Mom?"

I thought for a moment.

"Not sad."

Niem Niem nodded.

"So I'm not sad either."

Sit in the front passenger seat. Uncle Chau said:

"Tong Van Tinh just arrived at Thanh Hoa gate."

I raised my eyebrows.

"What else does she want to do?"

Uncle Chau replied:

"She brought along a lot of media accounts."

"I want to expose Tham Thi's use of power to oppress others."

I laughed.

"Falling once is not enough."

"Still want to jump into the hole again."

In front of Thanh Hoa gate. Tong Van Tinh put on his coat. Stand in the middle of a circle of cameras.

"I admit I did wrong."

"But Tham Van Duong relied on the power of the Tham family to force me to the end."

"What she wants is more than an apology."

"She wants me to be ruined."

A person holding the phone brought the microphone over.

"Please ask Ms. Tong."

"The fact that you forged the signature on the file..."

"...is it true?"
