Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — On my wedding day, I was forced to give up 19 real estate properties. I flipped the table on the spot
One person is a nurse. The other person— A woman in her forties, wearing a dark gray suit, hair tied in a bun, very well maintained. To Uyen Thanh. My aunt. The moment she saw me, the expression on her face was "worth seeing". But only fleetingly. Then she laughed.
"Nien Niem? Why did you come here?"
“I came to visit my grandfather.”
"Oh, it's great that you came. Dad keeps reminding me these past few days."
She stepped forward to take my arm. I took a step back.
“Don't touch me.”
Her smile stiffened for a second.
“Nien Niem, what's wrong with you—”
“Three years ago, when you had someone throw my things out of the Su family, your attitude was not like this.”
The nurse next to him bowed his head. To Uyen Thanh glanced around and lowered her voice:
"Nien Niem, this is the hospital. Your grandfather is still inside, don't let him hear."
"What did you hear? Hear that your filial daughter... when you were in critical condition, refused to sign the surgery papers?"
To Uyen Thanh's face finally sank.
“Who told you?”
“Is it important?”
“To Niem, you came back this time—did you have someone to back you up?”
"I don't need anyone's back. I came to sign the surgery papers."
“You sign?” To Uyen Thanh laughed coldly, "What qualifications do you have to sign? Your guardianship was canceled by the court three years ago. You are no longer the legal guardian—"
“That verdict has been overturned.”
Her smile stopped.
“The psychiatric evaluation she submitted to the court that year—concluding that I was ‘incompetent as guardian’—the doctor who performed the evaluation had his license revoked last year for falsifying records.”
"My lawyer filed a request for reconsideration three months ago. The ruling was made two days ago."
I took out a file.
"Restoring To Niem's guardianship of Mr. To Tong Hanh. Effective immediately."
To Uyen Thanh stared at the paper. Her hands trembled.
“I have been preparing for a long time.”
“From the day I was kicked out of the Su family… I started preparing.”
I walked around her and pushed open the door to room 3017. On the hospital bed, a thin old man lay there, wearing an oxygen mask. Hair has turned white. Three years ago, he could still walk on his own and even sit in the study room to write. Now this skinny. I walked over to the bed and bent down.
“Grandpa, I'm home.”
His eyelids moved slightly. Lips moved, but no sound came out. But I see it. He is smiling. I signed the consent form for surgery. The surgery was scheduled for three days later. To Uyen Thanh stood outside the hospital room and made countless phone calls. I didn't know who she was contacting. But Co Tham arranged two people to stand guard in front of the door—even if To Uyen Thanh wanted to enter, he couldn't.
“Your people?” I asked.
"Your grandfather's people. For the past three years, they've only been following me."
“You kept a whole team for him for three years?”
"Not much. Just these two, plus a temporary supervision agreement."
“What else do I not know?”
"A lot. But right now the most important thing is—my aunt won't let it go easily."
That night, To Uyen Thanh's counterattack came. It wasn't aimed at me—but at Kinh Hai's side. Tham Tu called.
"General Su, something's wrong. Tran Thi Real Estate suddenly withdrew the lawsuit."
"Yes. But at the same time—a company named 'Hung Vien Capital' announced to invest capital in Tran Thi, an amount of 200,000,000 yuan."
“Who is behind Hung Vien?”
“Checked. Company registered in Lam Chau, the person who controls reality—To Uyen Thanh.”
I stood by the hotel window, clutching my phone. She poured money into the Tran family. Not because I care about them. But because I want to turn them into pawns to deal with me. The calculation is very clear—as long as Tran Thi doesn't fall, the Tran family will still cling to me. As long as I get dragged in Kinh Hai, I won't be able to confront her with all my strength. A nice move.
“Tham Tu, closely monitor every cash flow of Hung Vien Capital.”
“Yes. There's one more thing—Tran Hao knows you've come to Lam Chau."
“How do you know?”
“Lam Vy Vy told him.”
Of course. Lam Vy Vy was originally To Uyen Thanh's person. The chess board at this point... has been completely reconnected. To Uyen Thanh arranged for Lam Vy Vy to approach Tran Hao. Through her, she manipulates the Tran family. Using the Tran family to hold me back. As for himself, he sits in Lam Chau and controls the entire To family. A chess game that lasted three years. And the wedding agreement... is the signal to turn over the cards. I called Khuong Dao.
