Chapter 1 — Reborn On The Night Of Fraud

Khuong Mien Mien was awakened by an intense heat wave. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her vision was a mottled yellow ceiling and a broken beam with spider webs still hanging. This is not her Beijing apartment, but... the real estate house she lived in when she was a child in her hometown?

“Um…”

The unusual feeling coming from below made her whole body stiffen. Something hard and hot was pressing against the inside of her thigh, and there was the sound of heavy breathing in her ears. She slowly bowed her head, facing a pair of bloodshot eyes. It was a pair of eyes like a cornered beast, filled with anger, humiliation and... lust. Trinh Du! The blood in Khuong Mien Mien's body immediately froze. This face, even if she dies, she cannot forget - clear jawline, high nose bridge with a small scar, and eyes that are always cold and creepy. At this moment, that face was drenched in sweat, the blue veins on his forehead were prominent, clearly trying his best to endure something. Why are you sleeping in the same bed as Trinh Du? Furthermore, this pose…

“Khuong Mien Mien.” The male voice softly hissed through his teeth, hoarse and scary, "You dare..."

In a violent whirl, she was pinned back under him. The thin shirt was completely unable to block the warmth from the two bodies touching each other. Khuong Mien Mien then realized that her clothes were disheveled, and Trinh Du's top shirt had been lost for some time, revealing a strong chest. The person in front of him was not General Trinh, who became famous in the business world twenty years later, but Trinh Du when he was just twenty years old and was sent to Dai Ha village!

“Wait! This is an understanding—”

Before the words finished, chaotic footsteps suddenly rang out outside.

"Right in here! I saw Mien Mien drag that guy into the room with my own eyes!" The second aunt's high-pitched voice rang out.

"What a hill of customs! What a hill of customs!" The village chief was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Khuong Mien Mien's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. This scene was all too familiar to her — in her past life memories, today was the day she quit Trinh Du's medicine. In a moment, the Khuong family will rush in, "cheat in bed", forcing this bourgeois son to marry into the Khuong family. Ten years later, when the Trinh family's honor was restored, the first person Trinh Du dealt with was the Khuong family.

“Bang!”

The door panel was kicked so hard that it shook the sky.

"Trinh Du you bastard! How dare you bully my daughter!" The angry scream of her father, Khuong Thiet Tru, was so loud that the rafters of the house also shook.

Khuong Mien Mien trembled all over, not because of fear, but because of anger. She finally understood - she was reborn, reborn at the worst moment of her life! Trinh Du's eyes had regained some sanity, but his body was still hot. He smiled coldly and let her go: "Good acting."

“It's not like that!” Khuong Mien Mien was so impatient that tears almost fell. She suddenly remembered a sentence that Trinh Du said in her previous life: "If someone had come to save me that day, instead of following me and pushing me into the pit..."

In a brief moment, she made up her mind.

“Trinh Du, trust me once.” She quickly pulled the bed sheet around him, then turned around and jumped out of bed. Just as the door was kicked open, she used her body to block Trinh Du's face.

“Everyone stand still!”

This shout leaving everyone speechless. Khuong Thiet Tru held the stick and stood still, the second aunt opened her mouth like a strangled chicken, the pipe in the village chief's hand almost fell to the ground.

“Mian Mien, you…” Khuong Thiet Tru widened his eyes.

Khuong Mien Mien took a deep breath, knelt down with a "thump" sound: "Father, I forced Trinh Du!" The room immediately fell silent. Trinh Du's eyes suddenly became sharp.

“You, what nonsense are you talking about!” The second aunt was the first to react, rushing forward to pull her up, "It's obvious that this brat—"

“Second aunt!” Khuong Mien Mien raised her head, her cold eyes startled her aunt, "The medicine was given by me, the person was dragged in by me, Trinh Du completely resisted, everyone look at the marks on his wrist!"

She grabbed Trinh Du's wrist and held it up for everyone to see. There were indeed a few red marks there, left by the struggle just now. Trinh Du squinted his eyes, his eyes full of thought as he looked at the little girl whose personality suddenly changed in front of him.

“Are you crazy?” Khuong Thiet Tru was so angry that he was shaking, "I'm a girl and yet—"

“I like him!” Khuong Mien Mien spoke loudly, her heart pounding like a drum, "From the first day he came to the village, I liked him! But I knew my family wouldn't accept it, so..."

She promptly shed two tears and secretly glanced at Trinh Du. The man's expression had returned to calm, only the bottom of his eyes were so deep that it sent chills down her spine. The village chief coughed loudly: "Mien Mien, you have to think carefully, it is..."

“I know he is the son of a bourgeois.” Khuong Mien Mien interrupted him, "But those things are all slander! Trinh Du's father is a patriotic businessman who donated three planes during the resistance war!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned, including Trinh Du. This matter is still top secret in the file, how do you know? Khuong Mien Mien took advantage of the opportunity: "Dad, since I was little, you taught me to be a conscientious person. Trinh Du came to our village half a year ago, helped Mrs. Vuong carry water and fix the roof for Uncle Ly. During the last big flood, he also saved Nhi Nha. How could a person like that be a bad person?" With every word she said, Trinh Du's eyes became a little deeper. The stick in Khuong Thiet Tru's hand slowly lowered. He looked at his daughter, then at the boy sitting silently on the bed, and finally sighed: "It's a sin..." Seeing the situation change, the second aunt jumped up impatiently: "Eldest brother! This can't be let go easily! Mien Mien's reputation—"

“Second aunt.” Khuong Mien Mien smiled sweetly, "Last month, aunt secretly brought food stamps to her mother's house. Do you need me to tell you now?"

The second aunt's face turned pale in the blink of an eye. In the end, this chaotic drama ended with Khuong Thiet Tru grabbing her daughter's ear and dragging her home. Before leaving, Khuong Mien Mien turned her head to look at Trinh Du. The man sat in the dark, his expression could not be seen clearly, but she could feel his eyes still fixed on her, like a beast in the night. …… Inside the main hall of the Khuong family's house, the air was so heavy that it could be squeezed out of water.

“Kneel down!” Khuong Thiet Tru shouted angrily.

Khuong Mien Mien obediently knelt down, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Compared to Trinh Du's revenge in his previous life, he was beaten then what is there?

“Do you know that if today's story gets out, your whole life will be ruined?” Khuong Thiet Tru was extremely heartbroken.

“Father, I was wrong.” She bowed her head, looking apologetic, "It's just... I just like him too much."

“Like?” Khuong Thiet Tru laughed coldly, "What do you understand about that guy? He looks taciturn and doesn't speak, but you can see the cruelty in his eyes!"
