Chapter 4 — Power Game: I'm the Last Laugher

Based on those beneficial relationships, in a short time, the alliance between us is as solid as iron. Therefore, even though he was targeted by the billionaire, my father still had time to go to school to argue with my mother. On the surface, the Trang family seems to be about to collapse. But in reality, it is tightly bound by countless benefits, making it difficult to shake. On the contrary, the billionaire himself was dragged and unable to act freely. The next morning, I dressed neatly and excitedly prepared for my first date with Hac Lam Uyen. I went to the coffee shop, and as soon as I looked, I saw Hac Lam Uyen. His fingers are long and slender, with clear joints, leisurely stirring coffee with a silver spoon. The sunlight shone on his face, his long eyelashes cast shadows, forming a thin and weak shadow. I admit, I got angry. “You came so early.” I smiled and greeted him. He raised his head, saw me and was slightly stunned, then his ears turned slightly red. “Um.” He nodded. “What do you think about the marriage thing?” The waiter brought me coffee and I got straight to the point. He lowered his eyes: "Maybe." His face was still as indifferent as before, his forbidding expression made people just want to pin him down and bully him cruelly, forcing him to open those red eyes and look at me, until there was only water in his eyes filled with suffering. I quickly coughed a few times. No, no, these thoughts... are truly a bit perverted. After all, they are still underage students! “Cough cough… how about we go out for a walk?” I awkwardly changed the subject, trying to quell the guilty thoughts I had just had. Hac Lam Uyen nodded. The two of us walked down the street, and I started my "talkative mode" again. Hac Lam Uyen slightly curled the corners of his lips, listening quietly. The gentle wind blew, the shadows of the trees moved, the dappled sunlight fell on us - time seemed to stand still, peaceful and gentle. “What a coincidence, we met again.” The voice that I absolutely hated rang out. Cui Yen and Trang Tam Tam walked side by side. Cui Yen smiled at us, her eyes flashing with a sinister glint. "It's rare to see Hach Lam Uyen this close to his daughter. "You still don't know, right? From a very early age, he became a vegetarian and recited Buddha's name, telling himself not to get married in this life." Cui Yen said while smiling, with a sarcastic tone: "Many people think I'm an exception." I felt Hac Lam Uyen's body stiffen slightly. Immediately, anger flared up in my head. “No need for you to worry. To be honest, our relationship is not close enough to warrant greetings on the street. "I always believe - no one gives anything to anyone for free. Young master, don't even think about playing tricks on me and Hach Lam Uyen." Cui Yen's face stiffened for a moment, then smiled again and shook her head: "Your temper is really not pleasant. But, it's not my intention to find you today - little sister, right?" "…Right." Trang Tam Tam - who always looked at me as an enemy - reluctantly spoke up. "Tomorrow is my birthday. Although there is some misunderstanding between us, but... my mother and I both hope that you will come." As she spoke, she took out an invitation card. I stared at her, smiled and took it, my voice filled with meaning: "What's wrong with you? Are you unwell? Your face is so pale? It's hot, and you're still wrapped up? If you're not feeling well, it's best to leave." Go see a doctor." Trang Tam Tam's face turned pale, she glared at me fiercely, then bowed her head angrily: "No... it's okay." I laughed. Cui Yen definitely took action against her. I know his tricks all too well. Trang Tam Tam still suffers for a long time. 9 Cui Yen looked at me with meaningful eyes: "Actually, I could have become your sister. It's just a pity... But if you want, the door of the Thoi family is always open waiting for you. “The person the Cui family targeted – no one has ever survived.” His tone clearly carried a threatening meaning. I was about to counterattack when my hand was grabbed by a cool hand. Hac Lam Uyen held my hand and stood next to me, her face darkened: "Mind your own business. My fiancee's business is the Hach family's business." Cui Yen coldly snorted, finally chose to retreat, turned around and left. Hac Lam Uyen gently comforted me: "It's okay, I'm here." I raised my head to look at him, saying nothing. He pursed his lips, a bit confused: "What... what's wrong?" I laughed, opened my arms and hugged him: "You were so cool just now." Hac Lam Uyen's whole body stiffened, and for a long time, he awkwardly raised his hand to hug me back. But I let him go, satisfied to see his frantic appearance. “There's a party tomorrow night… do you want to come with me?” I leaned closer and asked. Hac Lam Uyen quickly nodded. I smiled: "Then... let's give her a kiss." Without waiting for him to react, I wrapped my arms around his neck and gently kissed the corner of his lips like a dragonfly gliding through water. The next day, I expected to see a photo of the two of us hugging each other, lips touching... on the front page of the newspaper. I admit – I was a bit shameless. Even though I like Hac Lam Uyen, I still take advantage of him. When my father saw that front page, he immediately understood what I had done. Our Trang family's shares have increased to the ceiling. It should have been a happy thing, but he couldn't be happy. Call me over and say in a serious voice: "You know you're playing with fire, right? If you offend the Hach family, our family will face great disaster." I nodded: "Of course I know." I have borrowed from the media to publicize the relationship between me and Hac Lam Uyen, even though we have not officially confirmed anything yet. By doing so, no matter what events happen in the future, I can still tie the Hac family and the Trang family to the same rope. Smart and sharp people will of course think that the Thoi family is targeting the Trang family, thereby deducing the conflict between the Thoi family and the Hach family. But they - those who are always on the outside observing - have never arbitrarily taken any side. Whoever wins, they will choose that side. I just need to show them – I am the one with the best chance of winning. It might be a bit risky, but I feel it's worth it. My father tiredly waved his hand: "Okay, things have come to this point, that's all." Even though he was tired, his eyes still couldn't hide the excitement. As a trader – the greater the risk, the greater the profit, the more excitement. Evening – birthday party. At the same time, it was also the party where the Thoi family announced Trang Tam Tam's status in the upper class. Therefore, the party was held extremely solemnly, the guests were all prominent figures. Faced with such a grand party, I of course had to dress splendidly. And sure enough, when Hac Lam Uyen saw me in a luxurious suit, he was stunned for a moment. I pulled your hand, smiled and asked: "Am I beautiful today?" Hach Lam Uyen's ears immediately turned red. I did not forgive: "Tell me, am I beautiful? Do you like it?" His face became even redder and he replied in a low voice: "Very beautiful..." My heart was hit again. That look of blushing awkwardly while talking softly is so cute I'm going to faint!! “I love you to death!!” I just want to hug him and give him a kiss. Hac Lam Uyen was so scared that I couldn't speak. “Cough cough, get in the car quickly.” I don't know when my father came out and gave me a warning look - telling me not to go too far. 10 I smiled and pulled Hac Lam Uyen into the car. The two of us held hands and walked into the party. The bustling atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a moment - all eyes turned to us, as if we were the real main characters of the night. Upstairs, Trang Tam Tam was observing the situation, so angry that her face was distorted. She looked jealously at my gorgeous outfit, her eyes red. As for her, she can only wrap herself tightly. Cui Yen walked up to her side, caressed a strand of her hair, and whispered softly in her ear: "You know what you need to do today, right?" Trang Tam Tam's face was bloodless and she nodded in fear. Cui Yen looked towards me, a dangerously possessive look in her eyes. I felt that look, refused to give up, coldly looked back at him. The party started, I raised my glass to congratulate Trinh Qua on the other side of the hall. Because Hac Lam Uyen was around, it was not convenient for them to get close. “Am I bothering your friends?” Hac Lam Uyen asked in a low voice. I held his hand tightly and shook my head: "No, how can there be any friend as important as you?" Hach Lam Uyen's face turned red again. “Cough cough… sister, you two keep pulling and pulling like this, it's not good.” Trang Tam Tam stepped forward, trying to appear harmless, but her eyes were filled with venom that could not be hidden. I smiled: "You don't need to worry about this." Trang Tam Tam started playing the role. She waved to the waiter and brought a few glasses of wine. "Sister, sigh, I know you always hated me. Before, I took your place, enjoying the things that belonged to you..." She said smiling, but there wasn't a trace of joy in her eyes. I looked at her blabbing and gossiping. "But today is my birthday, how about we have a drink together? Let's forget about the past, from now on we will be good sisters, okay?" Finally, after a while of detours, her purpose was revealed. I smiled: “Of course.” Hac Lam Uyen immediately stopped me.
