Chapter 14 — Pregnant With Ex-Boyfriend

I hugged Nien Cao tightly, my whole body trembling violently. Nien Cao reached out his tiny hand to wipe my tears.

“Mom, don't cry, dad secretly cries every day.”

Ha Duat Xuyen said in a deep voice: "Ha Du An." Nien Cao immediately fell silent. I raised my eyes to look at him.

“Ha Duat Xuyen, who took your bracelet that year?”

There was the sound of high heels outside the door. Lam Nhuy An's voice echoed.

“Duat Xuyen, are you in there?”

Lam Nhuy An pushed the door and walked in, the smile on her lips was still extremely gentle. Seeing me, her smile stopped for a moment.

"Miss Khuong, you're home."

I hugged Nien Cao, my fingertips slowly tightening.

“Doctor Lam, long time no see.”

Ha Duat Xuyen stood next to me, his eyes cold and without any temperature.

“Where is the bracelet?”

A flash of panic flashed through Lam Nhuy An's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Which bracelet?”

I burst out laughing.

"The bracelet that I asked the nurse to give to Ha Duat Xuyen the day I was born. It contains a recording of my request for help."

She frowned slightly.

"Miss Khuong, you just gave birth, your mind is chaotic, it's normal to remember wrongly."

She's always been like that. Always gentle, always keeping face. Even when harming others, pretend to be thinking about others. I took out the tape recorder from my bag.

“Three years abroad, I learned nothing, only learned how to preserve evidence.”

Lam Nhuy An's face changed. I pressed the play button. Inside, her voice rang out. [Someone like Khuong Tu is not worthy of Ha Duat Xuyen. She just pulled his leg.] Next was the nurse's voice. [Doctor Lam, do we really have to destroy this bracelet?] [After waking up, she will be taken away, and Ha Duat Xuyen's side will receive a death notice. One person is dead, no need to explain.] People outside the banquet hall were attracted by the noise and came one after another. Lam Nhuy An's face turned pale.

“That's not me.”

Ha Duat Xuyen coldly said: "Continue to open." I opened the second paragraph. This is the part where she talks on the phone with the testing center. Swapping DNA test results, exchanging samples, sending documents anonymously. Every sentence and every word is clear. Quy Van Chau stood in the crowd, his face extremely unsightly. I looked at him.

“You were also involved in those photos, right?”

He pursed his lips.

“I just want you to turn around.”

Ha Duat Xuyen threw a punch. Quy Van Chau staggered and bumped into the wall, the corner of his mouth bleeding. Nien Cao was scared and retreated into my arms. I put my hand over my child's eyes.

“The baby doesn't look.”

Ha Duat Xuyen turned around, tears in his eyes when he saw me and my child, he immediately tried to suppress it. He gave me a new DNA test report.

"Re-done. Full notarization."

I opened it. Confirming the father-child relationship. The corners of my eyes became wet again. Ha Duat Xuyen, in front of everyone, picked up Nien Cao and placed him in my arms.

“This is my son and Khuong Tu.”

The large hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Lam Nhuy An finally collapsed.

“Ha Duat Xuyen, I've been with you for three years!”

Ha Duat Xuyen looked at her, without any ripples in his eyes.

“I never needed you by my side.”

She staggered back a step. At this time, my father led followed the bodyguard into the crowd. His face was extremely angry.

“Khuong Tu, go home with dad.”

As soon as my father finished speaking, two bodyguards immediately walked towards me. Ha Duat Xuyen quickly pulled me and Nien Cao behind him. I reached out to hold his hand. This time, I didn't back down anymore. I hugged Nien Cao and walked in front of my father.

“Dad, I'm not going home.”

The blue vein on my father's forehead twitched continuously.

"Isn't the rioting three years ago enough? Do you still want the Khuong family to become a laughing stock to others?"

I smiled faintly.

"The Khuong family tricked the child into the delivery room, tricked him into thinking the baby was dead, and then sent him abroad. If these things got out, who would be more like a joke?"

My mother stood in the crowd, her eyes red.

“Tu Tu, I'm just afraid you'll have to suffer.”

“I have had enough.”

I looked at her.

“The three most miserable years were given to me by my parents.”

She covered her mouth, tears falling. Quy Van Chau wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice hoarse.

"Khuong Tu, I can make it up to you. Nien Cao will also have a more prestigious status."

I looked at him, feeling ridiculous.

“Gui Van Chau, until now you still think you can pick up bargains?”

His face turned pale.

“I really want…”

"I really want to win against Ha Duat Xuyen."

I interrupted him.

“But never really wanted me.”

There were whispers all around. My father's face was cold.

"Okay, you just insist on choosing him, then don't blame the Khuong family for not accepting you. Starting today, I will freeze all credit cards and assets in your name."

I bent down to look at Nien Cao in my heart. The little boy asked softly: "Mom, are you scared?" I kissed my child's forehead.

“Don't be afraid.”

Then, I took off the engagement necklace around my neck. That's the necklace my mother just gave me tonight, saying that Quy Van Chau personally chose it. I walked in front of the champagne tower and let go. The necklace fell into the glass, making a crisp "clang" sound.

“Dad, mom.”

I turned my head and clasped hands with Ha Duat Xuyen. His hand is very cold. I held it tightly.

“Three years ago you couldn't choose him, this time you won't be wrong again.”

Ha Duat Xuyen looked at me, the corners of his eyes gradually turning red. I smiled at him.

“Ha Duat Xuyen, I'm out of money.”

He spoke softly: "I raised you." I deliberately asked: "Can you afford it?" Before he could answer, his assistant brought over a stack of documents. Ha Duat Xuyen put that document down in front of my father.

“It's the Khuong family's stuff, she doesn't need it.”

My father turned it over to see, his face suddenly changed. Ha Duat Xuyen looked at me, his voice hoarse.

“Shares, real estate, investment funds, all of your assets have been transferred to Khuong Tu's name.”

I was stunned. He bowed his head and looked at me.

"Khuong Tu, I give you all my money and people."

The banquet hall was eerily quiet. I held Nien Cao, stared at the property transfer paper, and took a long time to digest the incident. My father was the first to turn the last page. Signature, seal, lawyer witness. All are real. His expression was as unsightly as if he had swallowed ice.

“Ha Duat Xuyen, are you crazy?”

Ha Duat Xuyen looked at me, his voice very soft.

“Going crazy a long time ago.”

Nien Cao leaned on my shoulder and whispered: "Dad, give me all the money Mom?” Ha Duat Xuyen said "yes". Nien Cao immediately wrapped his arms around my neck.

“Mom, please don't leave again. Dad's out of money, I'm so sorry."

My eye sockets suddenly became hot.
