Chapter 10 — The Day I Take It All Back

Some people want to return the land. People ask for compensation. People cursed directly. Tran Dinh on the school side is no better. She was already famous for being flamboyant. Driving luxury cars and using branded goods every day has long made many people uncomfortable. Now that the scandal broke out, the school forum is full of posts about her. Some people say her family got rich thanks to dirty tricks. People cursed her for being Tieu Tam's younger sister. It is said that Tran Dinh also fought with other people at school and was eventually disciplined. But the most tragic... Still Tran Hao and Lam Lam. Lam Lam's "glorious" past was completely dug up until there was nothing left to cover his body. Her previous boyfriends... Without exception, were all rich or powerful middle-aged men. She was fired by the company at the speed of light. The general manager, surnamed Liu, also immediately denied the relationship. He said he and Lam Lam were just normal friends. Not only that, it also turns to bite back. Saying she behaved inappropriately and tried to seduce me. As for Tran Hao... He became the biggest joke in the city. The labels "wearing a green hat" and "dumpster" are stuck on his body like an indelible tattoo. He didn't dare go out. I don't dare open my phone either. Because just walking out the door... There will be people pointing and talking. Just turn on the phone... Countless curse messages and harassing phone calls flood in. I met Tran Hao again at lawyer Truong's office. To be more precise... I met Tran Chinh Duc. He came alone. Just a few days without seeing him, he seemed ten years older. White hair. The back is completely bent down. There was no longer any stubborn aggression on his face like before. As soon as he saw me… His lips trembled violently. He knelt straight down.

“I beg you…”

“I beg you…”

“Please raise your head and hit lightly, give our family a way to live…”

As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face.

"It's my dog's eyes that can't see the Thai mountains!"

“It's me, the bastard!”

“I shouldn't treat you like that!”

“I bow my head and apologize to you!”

He actually started banging his head on the ground. His forehead hit the cold marble floor hard. Makes a heavy "clop" sound. I looked at him silently. Don't say a word. It wasn't until his forehead bled that lawyer Truong called security to help him up. He had tears and runny nose, his voice was hoarse.

“Tran Hao… is about to be forced crazy…”

“He locked himself in his room…”

“Don't eat or drink…”

“Last night he cut his wrists…”

“Luckily I discovered it in time, otherwise…”

There was no emotion in my heart. Knowing today... So what is the need that day?

“I beg you…”

“Withdraw the lawsuit…”

“We agree to divorce!”

“We also accept leaving empty-handed!”

“Just please…”

“Don't let him go to jail…”

“Don't let people continue to curse him anymore…”

He trembled and took out a bank card from his chest and handed it to me.

“There are 3,000,000 yuan in here…”

“It's all of our family's savings…”

“The amount is more than that…”

“We really can't pay…”

“The house was also foreclosed by the bank…”

“Now we don't even have a place to stay…”

“I beg you…”

"Out of respect, you used to call me three..."

I looked at that bank card. Look again at his face filled with despair and regret. The past three years… I called you I am "dad". But during those three years... Did he really see me as a daughter? I did not accept the card. Just turned to lawyer Truong and said:

“Lawyer Truong.”

“Please send the guests off.”

Tran Chinh Duc was helped out by security guards. As he left... The last light in his eyes was completely extinguished. He was like a puppet whose soul had been stripped from him, constantly muttering:

“It's all done…”

I sat in the conference room for a long time without moving. The sunlight outside the window is very beautiful. Through the curtains, it creates streaks of light on the table. But inside my heart... It's cold again. Did I win? I won. I got back everything that belonged to me. Also make those who hurt me pay the price. But why... I don't feel happy at all. Lawyer Truong poured me a glass of hot water and gently pushed it in front of me.

“You did very well.”

"Really?"

I watched the hot steam rising from the glass of water.

“But I feel…”

“I also became a very scary person.”

Lawyer Truong shook his head.

“You're just using a way they understand to talk to them.”

“Dealing with demons…”

“Sometimes you have to be stronger than the devil.”

“About the criminal lawsuit…”

“I did as you asked and applied for an adjournment.”

Lawyer Truong continued.

"The court will consider Tran Hao's repentance..."

“Along with a letter of reconciliation from the victim…”

“That day you did not accept the card, nor did you agree with him.”

“But from a legal perspective…”

“That's enough to show your attitude.”
