Chapter 1 — Seven Years, Letting Go Once

Borrow 3,000,000 yuan to buy a wedding house for Thanh Mai? I Bought The Entire Company, Personally Fired Him. Having been together for seven years, my boyfriend insisted on taking the 3,000,000 yuan of money he saved to buy a wedding house to lend to his wife to repay the debt. I don't prevent it. Just quietly used that same amount of money to buy back the company where he was working, becoming the controlling shareholder. Three days later, Thanh Mai took his hand and went to a luxury apartment complex to buy a luxury apartment. When it was time to swipe the payment card, the salesperson politely smiled:

"Sorry, your card has been locked."

My boyfriend was so embarrassed that he immediately called to question:

"On what basis do you dare touch my money?"

At that time, I was sitting in the chairman's chair in the office, laughing softly.

"Your money?"

"Since when does the money in the company account become your money?"

On the other end of the line, the girl's panicked cry immediately rang out. I calmly pressed the internal call button.

"Notify human resources."

"Fire him now."

Just when Bui Nghien Tu said he wanted to lend Wen Zhaoxue 3,000,000 yuan, the pot of soup on the stove was just boiling. I turned off the stove. The rising steam made the back of my hand burn and turn red. Outside the living room, his mother Tong Lan Anh smiled gently.

"Van Duong, little Chieu Tuyet is in a very difficult situation. Her father is in debt, and now the creditors have come to the door."

"It's okay if you and Nghien Tu bought your wedding house a little late. You two have been in love with each other for seven years, and you won't miss these few months."

Bui Nghien Tu sat on the sofa, looking down at the phone. The screen lights up continuously. Wen Zhaoxue's messages appeared one after another.

"Mr. Nghien Tu, I really don't know what to do anymore."

"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to live."

"Are you angry, Ms. Van Duong? I don't want to destroy you two."

I brought the pot of soup to the table. Tong Lan Anh immediately frowned.

"Why is it so hot? Are you planning on burning someone to death?"

That's the rib stew soup with corn that Bui Nghien Tu likes the most. In the past, every time he worked overtime until midnight, I would prepare a pot of soup waiting for him to return. At that time, he hugged me and gently said:

"Van Duong, from now on our house will definitely have hot soup every day."

And now... He doesn't even bother to raise his head.

"Mom, please stop saying a few words."

It sounds like you're defending me. But right after that, he calmly said:

"Van Duong understands, she won't mind."

The bowl was so hot that my fingertips were numb. I looked at him.

"That's the deposit to buy the wedding house."

Only then did Bui Nghien Tu raise his head. Between the two eyebrows there was only impatience.

"It's just a loan."

Tong Lan Anh immediately continued:

"That's right. It's not like I won't buy a house for the two of us anymore."

His father Bui Kien An put down his cup of tea.

"Women, don't be so short-sighted. Chieu Tuyet and Nghien Tu grew up together, outsiders like you cannot understand that feeling."

The words "outsider" just fell... The whole dining table suddenly fell silent. During the past seven years... Bui Nghien Tu and I went through the three most arduous years when he started his business. I took care of Tong Lan Anh through two surgeries. I also helped Bui Kien An pay off his gambling debt. Yet in the end... In their family's eyes, I was still just an outsider. At that moment, On Chieu Tuyet's phone call came. Bui Nghien Tu picked up the phone almost immediately. On the other end of the phone, she was sobbing.

"Mr. Nghien Tu... they're knocking on the door again... I'm so scared..."

Bui Nghien Tu immediately stood up.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be right over."

Tong Lan Anh pushed me.

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly take out that card."

The card contained 3,000,000 yuan. Of which, 2,000,000 yuan is the money my mother left behind. The remaining 1,000,000 yuan is my salary and bonus that I have saved up for many years. The card was kept in the bottom drawer of the bedside table in the bedroom. Right next to it is a sample wedding photo set of me and Bui Nghien Tu. In the photo, he bowed his head and gently kissed my forehead. The photographer also smiled and complimented:

"The groom's eyes are truly so infatuated."

At that time, he smiled and said:

"I've been waiting for this day for seven years."

At that moment, the phone showed up with a notification from the bank. Bui Nghien Tu used my date of birth to test the password. Wrong once. Outside the door his voice rang out:

"Van Duong, stop making trouble."

I took out the card and placed it in his palm.

"You really want to give it to her?"

Bui Nghien Tu breathed a sigh of relief, his tone softened.

"Chieu Tuyet only needs to make some money temporarily. Once she passes this stage, I'll take you to see the house right away."

Tong Lan Anh smiled brightly and patted my shoulder.

"That's truly family."

The moment the card was pulled from my hand... The wedding photos on the nightstand also slid to the ground. The frame hit the floor hard. The glass cracked into a long line. Bui Nghien Tu just bent down to take a quick look.

"Just go back and buy a new one."

The door closed. The entire table of food gradually cooled. I squatted down, quietly picked up every piece of broken glass and put it in the trash. Finally, I pulled the wedding photo out of the frame. Then follow the exact crack... Tear it in half. At two o'clock in the morning, Bui Nghien Tu returned. Right from the door, there was a strong smell of alcohol mixed with women's perfume. On Chieu Tuyet put on his vest and timidly stood in front of the door looking at me.

"Miss Van Duong, I'm sorry, I'm still bothering you this late."

Her eyes were red. On her ears she wears a pair of pearl earrings. It was the same model I saw at the jewelry counter last month. That day, Bui Nghien Tu said he didn't have money to buy a couple wedding rings for me. Bui Nghien Tu helped her into the house.

"Chieu Tuyet was scared tonight, let her stay the night."

I stood in the middle of the living room. He was still wearing his apron.

"There is only one guest bedroom in the house."

Tong Lan Anh walked out of the room.

"Then let Chieu Tuyet sleep in your wedding room."
