Chapter 12 — My sister gave birth and then left. I took the baby and knocked on the door of my great-grandfather's house

The fact that I thought I had escaped from a rotten family, escaped my blood-sucking parents, married into a wealthy family, and from now on slept with my pillow high... Perhaps, it was just the beginning of another, much more sinister game. And I, don't even know who my enemy is. Those yellow words were like a curse, lingering in my mind all night. Someone wants to kill me. When I was eighteen years old. This realization made me not cold but shiver. Early the next morning, I walked downstairs with two dark circles under my eyes. Co Du Chau was sitting in the dining room, slowly flipping through the financial newspaper. The morning sunlight shined through the ground-level glass window onto his body, covering him with a bright yellow halo. Beautiful as a picture. But I was in no mood to enjoy it. I went to sit opposite him, hesitant in my heart, whether I should tell him about that line or not. Do you believe it? A line of text appeared from nowhere, only I could see it. If I say it, do you consider me crazy?

“Didn't sleep well?”

He put down the newspaper and looked up at me. Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all my thoughts.

“Thinking about what your dad said yesterday?”

I nodded, then shook my head again.

“Co Du Chau.”

I took a deep breath and decided to take a risk.

“If I speak, I might see some… warnings about the future.”

“Do you believe it?”

Co Du Chau's hand holding the cup of coffee paused. He looked at me, there was no surprise in his eyes, nor was there any amusement. There is only quiet scrutiny.

“For example?”

“For example, he told me to find you.”

I stared into his eyes, hanging on every word.

“For example, he told me Hua Nac is your son.”

“And for example, it told me that someone wanted to fake an 'accident' when I was eighteen, to kill me.”

After I finished speaking, the dining room fell into dead silence. I nervously looked at him. Waiting for your verdict. Believe me, or treat me like a mental patient. After a while, he slowly put down the coffee cup.

“I believe you.”

I was stunned.

“You… you believe that too?”

“Because of your eyes.”

He looked at me, his eyes shining.

“They don't know how to lie.”

"Furthermore, other than this explanation, I can't think of an eighteen-year-old girl who would have the courage to hold a newborn baby and rush into Co Thi Group, calling them by name and demanding to see me."

“And how can you give such an accurate warning to the so-called biological father?”

His logic is terrifyingly clear. The big rock hanging in my heart finally fell. Feeling trusted, so good.

“So… what should I do now?”

I asked somewhat helplessly. Facing a hidden enemy in the darkness who craved my life, I felt fear for the first time. Co Du Chau's expression was still extremely calm. But his eyes became extremely sharp.

“If they want to play, I will play with them.”

“I will ask Assistant Ly to investigate.”

“Investigate all the suspicious people and events around you from childhood to adulthood.”

“No matter who that person is, if he dares to touch you, I will make him pay.”

His words carry a strong power that makes people feel secure. I nodded. The fear in my heart also lessened a lot. At this moment, the old man's phone called. Calling Co Du Chau.

"You brat! Have you forgotten what day it is?"

From the phone came the roar of the old man's full inner strength.

“Quickly take Niem Niem to register my marriage!”

“Today, I have to see your two red books!”

“After registering, come home for dinner!”

“I have called all my relatives to come and officially introduce Niem Niem to everyone!”

“If you dare to be late, I will break your leg!”

After speaking, the old man made a "pop" sound and hung up the phone. Clean, neat, not giving people any chance to refute. Co Du Chau and I stared at each other. Today? And meet all the relatives? This… is too fast! Half an hour later. I sat in Co Du Chau's Rolls-Royce, heading towards the Civil Affairs Department. My mood right now is even more tense than when I faced my awesome parents yesterday. In the car, Co Du Chau took out a ring from an exquisite velvet box. Not a diamond ring. It's a blue jade ring with extremely beautiful jade water. Classic, gentle, you can see its value when you see it.

“This is what grandma left behind.”

He drove and spoke calmly.

“Grandpa told me to leave it to you.”

“Consider it a gift from the Co family to their niece-in-law.”

I looked at the ring, a bit confused. This thing is too expensive.

“Put it on.”
