Chapter 6 — The Last Order Is Someone I Used To Love

The kitchen is full of my favorite snacks. Even the shampoo in the bathroom is the same brand I use. Even these details he remembered. But I smiled wryly.

“I like it, but I still miss our old, small, tattered house…”

“I always feel like you've changed a lot.”

A dull pain flashed in Khuong Tri's eyes. He held my hand slightly, as if holding a handful of sand that would surely float away. He always felt like I knew something. In order for me to quickly adapt to his current personality, a few days later he took me to the company again. It is an office building in the CBD area, with three complete floors. The staff called him General Director Khuong. When they saw me, they all bowed their heads and called him "sister-in-law". Then we met Tham Tri Thu in the elevator.

She lost a lot of weight. High cheekbones, deep eye sockets, no matter how thick the makeup, it cannot hide her haggard appearance. The moment she saw Khuong Tri, her eyes turned red.

“Khuong Tri…”

Khuong Tri instinctively blocked in front of me, his first reaction was to look at me in panic.

"Tieu Du, she and I just met, don't misunderstand!"

Tham Tri Thu bit her lip, her eyes passed him and fell on me. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and suddenly softened.

"Khuong Tri, let's talk, just five minutes."

“Please.”

Her tears fell very quietly, there was no sound, just quietly flowing down. Crying skillfully, just enough to stop, is worthy of being a queen. Khuong Tri stiffened for a second. I caught it. I still can't bear it. After all, it is a big treasure that has been stuck around for many years, and he personally supported it to fame.

“Go ahead, I'll be in the office waiting for you.”

I said gently. Khuong Tri hesitated a bit and nodded. He followed Tham Tri Thu. I waited in the office for four hours. When Khuong Tri returned, his shirt collar was a bit messy and there was a lipstick mark on his neck. He came and hugged me, I didn't avoid him.

"Tieu Du, Tham Tri Thu... recently hasn't been very good. That press conference affected her very much, her reputation is gone, no one in the movie is looking for her anymore."

“After all, she was once the backbone of my company, I want to help her one last time.”

He looked at me, his eyes urgent.

“Just once, I'll give her a resource, let her film the last movie, and won't contact her again.”

“Can you hold back for a bit?”

“Okay.”

I understand nodding. Khuong Tri breathed a sigh of relief and kissed my forehead. From then on, Khuong Tri started not going home all night. The reason is always "overtime", "socializing", "contract discussion". I know where you are. Tham Tri Thu's apartment. I didn't look up your location, I could figure it out with my toes. But I'm not like I used to call, text, and ask him when he'd be home. I didn't even ask if he had eaten yet. He started to realize it wasn't right. Until three o'clock in the morning, he returned and saw my hand wrapped in a thick bandage.

Khuong Tri seemed to remember some nightmare, his whole body trembled and he staggered forward.

“What's wrong! Are you injured?!”

I weakly shook my head.

"I don't know what happened, today on the street suddenly there was a crazy person holding a knife and stabbing me..."

Khuong Tri's pupils shrank sharply. Perhaps because he felt it was unnecessary, he recently withdrew his bodyguard to silently protect me. He cried stupidly.

“Sorry, sorry, Tieu Du…”

"You... almost made the same mistake..."

Then, a crazy light flashed in his eyes, he picked up the phone to make a call, his words were fierce. I quietly watched him perform. This time it's actually not a miserable plan. Khuong Tri is not worthy of me performing one more act. Actually, the news that I had extorted more than thirty million yuan from my brother had already spread. The boss thinks I make money, my enemies think I make money easily. Both sides wanted my life. If they found an opening, they would hunt me down. It was difficult for me to defend them all. At the other end, Khuong Tri returned from calling. He restored his old gentleness, as if touching fragile objects, picked me up and placed me on the bed in the bedroom.

"Tieu Du, I've sent someone to investigate the people who harmed you, not even one person escaped."

"You blocked Tham Tri Thu and forcibly canceled the contract with her."

“From now on, no one can bother us anymore.”

“I want to marry you, let's get married next week!”

This time it really turned into a mental illness.

The wedding is scheduled for three days later. Khuong Tri was like a frightened dog, clinging to me day and night. He personally designed the invitations, booked the location, learned how to cook, and the first thing he did when he woke up in the middle of the night was to feel my breath and confirm that I was still alive before he could go back to sleep. But I have a strange message on my phone. 【Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, the warehouse in the west of the city. If you don't come, I will tell him your secret.】 【You know his character, he can only deceive others, he cannot be deceived by others.】 【At that time, you will be worse than dead.】 I looked at the screen and laughed. Finally she took action. I brought all the hidden weapons on me to the rendezvous point.
