Chapter 6 — The day we broke up, I inherited 5 billion yuan

"Stressed?"

He suddenly spoke up.

"A little."

I honestly admit it.

"My parents..."

"I will really like the person you are now."

Co Canh Tham's voice was gentler than usual.

"They are always proud of you."

"Do you visit them often?"

"Every month comes."

He nodded slightly.

"Twenty-three years..."

"Never interrupted."

A warm feeling suddenly arose in my heart. For twenty-three years. Every month he replaces me to visit my parents. That perseverance... Makes me emotional. The car drove for more than an hour. Finally stopped in front of a cemetery located in the middle of green mountains. The scenery here is very beautiful. The mountains are green and the water is blue. Fragrant flowers and grass. The sound of birds singing echoed throughout the space. Co Canh Tham led me deep into the cemetery. About ten minutes later. He stopped in front of a very well-cared-for tombstone. Graves of Jiang Tu Vien and Lam Nhuoc Van. Just saw those two names. Tears immediately welled up in my eyes. It's my parents. On the tombstone there are pictures of two people. Father is young and handsome. Mother is gentle and beautiful. I knelt before the grave. Crying until I couldn't hold back. Twenty-three years now. I finally knew my identity. Finally met my parents. Just through a photo. And a cold tombstone. Co Canh Tham squatted down next to him. Quietly handed me a package of tissues. He looked towards the tombstone and said softly:

"Giang Nhu has returned."

"She looks a lot like her aunt."

"But personality..."

"Like you again."

"Stubborn."

"And strong."

I wiped my tears. Stare at the parents' faces on the tombstones.

"I'm Giang Nhu."

"It's your daughter."

"Sorry..."

"I came home late."

In front of the grave are many fresh flowers. These are all newly replaced flower bouquets. I asked softly:

"These bouquets..."

"Every time I come I change it."

Co Canh Tham explained softly.

"When I was alive..."

"Auntie likes white roses the most."

I quietly looked at the white roses. In my mind, I suddenly imagined what my mother would look like when she was still alive.

"You two..."

"Lost how?"

Co Canh Tham's face gradually became serious.

"Car accident."

"Car accident?"

"Twenty-three years ago."

"After you disappeared..."

"My aunt and uncle drove to find me."

"On the way..."

"Had an accident."

His voice is very low.

"But that accident..."

"There are a lot of suspicious points."

"I always suspected..."

"It was caused by someone intentionally."

My pupils shrank slightly.

"What do you mean..."

"Someone killed my parents?"

"Just a suspicion."

"There is still no evidence."

Co Canh Tham looked at me.

"That year, internal conflicts within Giang Thi Chau Bau were very deep."

"My father wants to reform the company."

"That affects the interests of many veteran shareholders."

"So what about my disappearance..."

"It's very possible..."

"It's caused by humans."

Co Canh Tham's eyes turned cold.

"Giang Thi's assets are too attractive."

"Someone wants..."

"Wipe out all those who have the right to inherit."

I clenched my hands. If that's true... Then my parents... Were killed by someone else.

"The killer..."

"Have you found it yet?"

Co Canh Tham shook his head.

"It's been too many years."

"A lot of evidence..."

"It's all gone."

I looked at my parents' photo on the tombstone. A fire of intense hatred suddenly flared up in my heart. If there really is a killer... I will definitely... Will demand justice for his parents. We stayed in front of our parents' graves for more than an hour before leaving. On the way home, Co Canh Tham suddenly spoke:

"Giang Nhu."

"There's something I want to tell you."

"What's going on?"

"It's about our engagement."

His voice carried a bit of pensiveness.

"If you don't want..."

"I won't force you."

I was a bit surprised.

"Why did you suddenly say that?"

"Because I don't want you to think..."

"I'm taking advantage of your status."

Co Canh Tham looked at me very seriously.

"I've been waiting for you for twenty-three years."

"Don't mind waiting more."

I quietly looked at him. It's not touching... But it's true that I still don't have feelings for him right now.

"Co Canh Tham."

"Give me more time."

"I know."

He nodded slightly.

"I will wait until the day you find the answer."

"What if I can't find it for the rest of my life?"

"I will wait my whole life."

His words made my heart tremble slightly. This man... Just because of a childhood promise.
