Chapter 22 — My sister gave birth and then left. I took the baby and knocked on the door of my great-grandfather's house

Tan Chan Hung took advantage of this point. He faked that car accident, then pointed all the evidence at Co Du Chau's father. Co Du Chau's father is honest and reasonable. At that time, Co Thi Group was in the critical stage of listing on the stock exchange, and could not let any negative news happen. To preserve the reputation of the Co family. Also because I don't want the whole family to be implicated because of me. He chose... to use tricks to hide that evidence. He thought it was just a slanderous trick that brought disaster in the marketplace. He didn't know at all, it was a cold-blooded murder. Even more unaware that his retreat and concealment had indirectly become Tan Chan Hung's accomplice. This became Co Du Chau's father's lifelong illness. It also became a blood debt that the entire Co family owed to our On family. That's why, after all these years, the Co family tried their best to search for me. The old man treated me so well. Co Du Chau had a feeling of guilt and wanting to protect me that couldn't be expressed clearly in words. They are atonement. After hearing his explanation, the living room fell into dead silence. It is a tragic, breathtaking story. There are no absolutely bad people, nor are there completely good people. There is only the teasing of fate and the complexity of humanity. I finished listening quietly. There was no anger or resentment on his face. Just a calmness like stagnant water. I turned my back and looked at Tan Ngu Nhien who was still lying on the floor, his face as gray as ash. Watching Tan Chan Hung completely collapse because the truth was revealed. Then looked at the painful and guilty faces of the Co family members. I suddenly felt very tired. Really tired.

“It's over.”

I said softly. Then turn around and walk out the door step by step.

“Nim Niem!”

Co Du Chau screamed in pain and tried to chase after him.

“Don't follow.”

I didn't turn back.

“Leave me alone in peace.”

I left the Co family's house. Don't go back to Van Dinh villa. Wandering alone aimlessly on the road. I don't know where I should go. It seems like there's no place left for me in this world. Right when I was confused. Before my eyes, for the last time, flashed those golden words. 【Your feud has been announced.】 【Your life has just begun.】 【Go love who you want to love, do what you want to do.】 【On Niem, you must be happy.】 The text disappeared. Never appeared again. I know, it has completed its mission. Now, it's my turn to make my own choice. I stopped walking. Raise your head and look at the sky. The sky is very blue, the sun is very warm. I suddenly let go. All past events, whether hurt or conspiracies, are behind us. Holding on to hatred and refusing to let go, the only person suffering is me. My life should not be filled with hatred. I have a future. And… him. The man was willing to forget himself to protect me. The man was clearly hiding secrets and excruciating pain, but still chose to trust and protect me. He is indeed at fault. But that wasn't his original sin. I can't blame my previous life's resentment on you. I'm clear. I took out my phone and dialed the number I knew by heart. Almost in the first second, someone picked up the phone.

“Nem Niem?”

An impatient voice rang out in the receiver and your hopes. My tears fell. But this time it was tears of happiness.

“Co Du Chau.”

I smiled and called his name.

“I'm hungry.”

“I'll come take you home.”

Three years later. I graduated from a top university in the country. At the same time, with Co Du Chau's support, I opened my own small design studio. Hua Nac, oh no, now I have to call him Co Niem Nac. He is already a handsome boy who knows how to walk and call "mommy" sweetly. The Qin family completely collapsed. Tan Chan Hung and Tan Ngu Nhien both had to pay a heavy price for their actions. Rumor has it that Hua Kien Cong and Trieu Lan make a living by picking up trash in a small, remote city. Hua Thanh went crazy. Abroad, because he could not bear the shock and the huge difference, he was sent to a mental hospital. Everyone who has hurt me has received their due retribution. As for me, I have the best love in this world. Damn, I just got home from the studio. Co Du Chau gently hugged me from behind. He rested his chin on the top of my head, rubbing gently.

“Are you back?”

His voice sounded gentle as if he wanted to squeeze out water. I leaned my head on his chest, feeling his body temperature and familiar heartbeat.

“How was today?”

“Just miss you a little.”

He smiled warmly. The vibrations in my chest spread to my back, both warm and tingling. He turned me around, so I was facing him. His eyes looking at me were filled with deep, insoluble love.

“Hua Niem, no, On Niem…”

He bowed his head and gently kissed my forehead.

“Thank you for being willing to come back to me.”

I stood on tiptoe and responded to the kiss on his lips.

“I like the name Hua Niem better.”

I leaned close to his ear and whispered.

“Thanks to this name, I met you again.”

He looked at me, smiled. That smile is like warm sunlight in the middle of winter, melting the last layer of snow and ice in my heart. He hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to engrave me into his flesh and blood.

“Your late wife, Hua Niem.”
