Chapter 4 — On my wedding day, I was forced to give up 19 real estate properties. I flipped the table on the spot

He is also the person who currently holds the actual power of the To family. And also the person three years ago... personally kicked me out of the To family. I hung up. The phone was clenched in his hand, his knuckles turned white. Tham Tu pushed the door and walked in:

"Boss Su, Tran Hao is here again. This time he is not alone."

“Going with whom?”

“Lam Vy Vy.”

I smiled softly.

“Send them up.”

The elevator door opened, Tran Hao and Lam Vy Vy walked out side by side. Lam Vy Vy wore a floral dress and held Tran Hao's arm. When she saw me sitting behind her desk, the expression on her face was perfectly "mixed"—three parts surprise, three parts self-pity, four parts innocence.

“Sister-in-law… no, President To.” Tran Hao changed his address very quickly.

“Tell me, what's going on?”

“To Niem, I came because I wanted to talk properly.”

“What are we talking about?”

"About the divorce, I agree. But the conditions—"

“Do you have the right to set conditions?”

He took a step forward.

“Thinh Nguyen must not terminate cooperation with Tran Thi.”

"For the past three years, Tran Thi has developed based on Thinh Nguyen's project. You suddenly withdraw, what about the hundreds of employees? What about the workers?"

“Did you ever care about them?”

Tran Hao's expression paused. Lam Vy Vy chimed in:

"To... To, Mr. Hao actually makes sense. Work is work, feelings are feelings. We can't affect the company because of personal matters..."

I looked at her.

“Who are you?”

Lam Vy Vy's smile cracked for a moment.

“I… am Tran Hao's friend.”

"You? On the day my husband got married, you followed him to negotiate with his wife?"

“No… I just wanted to advise—”

"Your credit card debt repayment account is linked to Trieu Khai Minh's card. What relationship do you have with the Trieu family?"

This sentence is like a needle. Lam Vy Vy's expression finally collapsed.

“You investigated me?”

"You've been by my husband's side for three years. If I don't investigate you, then who will I investigate?"

Tran Hao frowned:

"To Niem, you're off topic. We came today to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperation? Tran Hao, are you coming to talk about cooperation with me now?"

I stood up.

"As for your father forcing me to sign an agreement right at the wedding, you don't even dare to say 'no'. What right do you have to discuss with me?"

Tran Hao opened his mouth.

"You stood on stage, watching your father insult his wife in front of more than 500 people. What did you say? 'Sign, don't cause trouble'."

He took a step back.

"What have you been able to do in the past three years? Your mother forced me to wash dishes, clean the house, and do laundry. You said, 'That's just how she thinks'. Your sister cursed me for being a poor relative, and you said, 'Don't accept it.' Your father wouldn't let me eat at the table. He brought me a bowl of white rice into the kitchen, thinking he was thoughtful."

"It's not like you don't know that I paid the deposit. You know everything. Every single item you know. But when your father asked where the money came from, you said you earned it yourself."

Tran Hao's face turned pale. Lam Vy Vy stood next to her, unable to move forward and unable to retreat.

"So don't talk about conditions with me. You have no qualifications."

I pressed the inline button.

“Shen Tu, see off the guests.”

“To Niem!” Tran Hao suddenly raised his voice, "Don't force people too much!"

I looked straight at him.

"Tran Hao, you haven't seen how I force people."

Tham Tu walked in, behind were two guards. When being invited out, Lam Vy Vy turned her head to look at me. There was no fear in those eyes. It's calculation. She is smiling. I remember that smile. That evening, Tham Tu sent an investigation report.

"General To, Trinh Kien Nghiep's lawyer fees were confirmed to be paid by the Trieu family. In addition, the relationship between the Trieu family and Lam Vy Vy is also clear—her mother is a distant relative of the Trieu family, not too close. The person who actually arranged for her to approach Tran Hao—"

“To Uyen Thanh.”

Every clue points to one name. My “good” aunt. Three years ago she kicked me out of the Su family and took my inheritance. Three years later, he placed someone next to me again, waiting for me to reveal a flaw. The wedding agreement... was her move. Forcing me to reveal my identity. Let the whole Kinh Hai know who I am. What then? What's her next move? I thought all night. The next morning, I made a decision.

“Tham Tu, book me a ticket to Lam Chau.”

"This afternoon."

“But Tran Thi's lawsuit—”

"Let the lawyers handle it. I have more important things to do."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed in Lam Chau. It's been three years. I returned to this place again. Leaving the airport, a black car was waiting at the exit. It wasn't arranged by me. The car window rolled down. Co Tham sat in the back seat.

“Mr. To, do you need a car?”

“Follow me?”

"When you book a flight, the airline's VIP system notifies your regular contact. The emergency contact you left behind three years ago is To Tong Hanh. And his medical proxy... is me."

“You really can look up anything.”

“Are you getting in the car?”

I stood still.

“Co Tham, what do you want?”

“Take me to the hospital.”

“After that, you decide for yourself.”

I looked at him for a few seconds. Then get in the car. The car drove straight to Lam Chau Central Hospital. Passing by the To family's old villa, I reflexively took a look. High walls, deep yard... still exactly the same as three years ago.

“My grandfather's condition is not very good.” Co Tham said, "Lung infection leads to complications. The doctor recommended surgery, but To Uyen Thanh has not signed yet."

“Why don't you sign?”

"Because surgery is risky. If To Tong Hanh dies on the operating table—"

“To Uyen Thanh will be the legal heir.”

“Yes. But if the surgery is successful—”

"When you wake up, the first thing you can do is amend your will."

Co Tham glanced at me:

“You're more alert than I thought.”

“Do you think I'm the type of girl who gets confused by the Tran family's affairs?”

“No. I think you're a smart person... but someone needs a reminder.”

The car stopped in front of the hospital gate. I didn't get off right away.

“Co Tham, let me ask you one last time—what do you want, if you help me?”

“Three years ago, when your grandfather looked for me, he gave me something.”

"An agreement. It clearly states that if anything happens to you, I will temporarily supervise the To Thi Group... until you return to take over."

I was stunned.

“What do you mean…”

"Your grandfather never gave up your inheritance. What To Uyen Thanh holds... is just an empty shell."

I sat in the car, digesting that statement. Then open the door and step down. Go straight to the hospital. Elevator to the third floor, turn left, room 3017. There are two people standing in front of the door.
