Chapter 14
Chapter 14 — The 420 Thousand Yuan Car And The Marriage Was Returned
Yet today. His mother brought that most private secret out into the crowd like a knife. Nguyen Niem Niem pretended to pull her hand.
"Auntie, stop talking."
Bui's mother pushed her hand away.
"Afraid of what?"
"It cannot bear children."
"That's why I'm jealous when you're pregnant!"
There are more and more people standing in front of the elevator. I raised my head to look at the surveillance camera. The red light is still flashing. I don't need anyone else to help me save the evidence anymore. I looked at Bui's mother.
"Who told you those things?"
Bui's mother smiled coldly.
"Nghien Chu said."
"It says your health is not good."
"Our Bui family has already suffered losses."
"Now Niem Niem is pregnant."
"If you really love it..."
"Then we should make it work for the two of us."
It turned out to be seven years of love. Even my medical history could become a stepping stone for him to retreat. Luc Dinh Van signaled to the security guard. The security guard stepped forward to invite Bui's mother to leave. But she insisted on sitting on the ground. Right at that moment. Nguyen Niem Niem suddenly hugged her stomach and bent over. Bui's mother immediately screamed:
"Hua Tri Vi harmed my grandson!"
The ambulance quickly arrived. When Nguyen Niem Niem was put on a stretcher. She suddenly grabbed my wrist. Grip very tightly. Then he leaned close to my ear and said in a low voice:
"Miss Tri Vi."
"The baby is real."
"I lost."
I lowered my head to look at her. So calm that she herself was stunned.
"Then give birth to it."
Nguyen Niem Niem was stunned. I slowly removed each of her fingers from my wrist.
"Let him see with his own eyes..."
"For a child."
"What has he lost?"
The ambulance door slammed shut. Bui's mother climbed up as well. Before leaving, he didn't forget to point his finger and scold me. Right at that moment. The phone rang. It's a call from the police station.
"Hello, Miss Hua."
"Bui Nghien Chu wants to see you."
"He said he had something important to present."
The meeting room is separated by a thick layer of glass. Bui Nghien Chu sat on the opposite side. Beards grow jagged. Eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. As soon as he saw me, he immediately stood up.
"Tri Vi..."
Those two words just came out. His voice was hoarse. In the past... I was always soft-hearted towards this appearance. Just let him bow his head. I would think he was tired. Think he's having a hard time. I think it's okay to be a little more patient. But now... In my eyes, there is only one man left who put me in danger on the highway. Then he personally stepped on me into the mud.
"Say anything."
Bui Nghien Chu tightened his grip on the stethoscope.
"I didn't know the speed limit was so dangerous."
"That day, Niem Niem kept crying."
"Said that if she couldn't drive my car, her cousin would laugh at her."
"I just want to make her happy."
I didn't reply. He began to get impatient.
"I admit I'm an asshole."
"But I really don't want to hurt you."
"We've been together for seven years."
"You can't deny everything just because of this one mistake."
A mistake? Grandma's photo album. Humiliation at the company gate. Personal medical history. That slap that day. He piled a mountain on top of me. Then said it was just a speck of dust.
"Nguyen Niem Niem is pregnant."
Bui Nghien Chu's face immediately turned pale. His lips moved a few times.
"Did... did she tell you?"
"Is the baby yours?"
He bowed his head. Silence is the answer. A very long time after. He said hoarsely:
"You drank too much that night."
"When I woke up, I regretted it."
"I don't dare tell you."
"Tri Vi..."
"The person I love is you."
My face is reflected on the glass surface. Strangely calm.
"If you love me, should you give her an extra card to spend?"
"You love me so you let your mother come to the company and scold me for not being able to have children?"
"If you love me, let her sleep in my room, wearing my grandmother's silver bracelet?"
Bui Nghien Chu's eyes turned red.
"About my mother..."
"I will explain."
"And the baby..."
"I'll handle it."
"As long as you agree, we can start again."
Start over? Where to start? Since the car was locked at 20 kmh on the highway? Or from the day he bought a snowflake necklace for Nguyen Niem Niem? I took out a file. Paste on the glass. Notice of wedding cancellation. General account refund list. Certificate of authorization to handle property and injury disputes. List of additional evidence of the vehicle incident. Each piece of paper has a bright red stamp of approval. Bui Nghien Chu stared at them. It's like I'm looking at a judgment for myself.
"Do you really want to be so cruel?"
He suddenly burst out laughing. An extremely unsightly smile.
"Hua Tri Vi."
"I wasn't like that before."
"Before, I would wait for you to get off work."
"I'll buy medicine for my mother."
"I'll worry about your stomachache."
"Before, I was most afraid that you wouldn't pay attention to me."
"Why are you so cruel now?"
