Chapter 4 — The Queen Does Not Need Love

The next second, a wine bottle hit Bach Vi Vi's head, making a crisp cracking sound. Red wine flows down from the top of the head, mixing with fresh blood, making it difficult to distinguish. The person who just took action was Ly Binh So. As soon as he finished beating someone, he almost wanted to cry: "I'm sorry, sir, I really missed it... you won't blame me, will you?" Mr. Truong rolled his eyes at me, then looked at Bach Vi Vi who was trembling with anger. He immediately understood everything, but remained motionless and did not intervene. The sound of the piano stopped, all the guests in the hall turned their eyes to this direction at the same time. Bach Vi Vi's eyes were filled with tears, her pitiful and innocent appearance easily made people feel compassion, but no one cared. Luc Tri stood two steps away from her, but slowly refused to step forward. Once again, Bach Vi Vi became everyone's focus. "Appropriating father's property for no reason, opposing father again and again, harming sisters, indiscriminately hurting others - Bach Tri Phi, does anyone in this hall know your true face?" She screamed with full force, clenched her fists until they bled, but the whole hall was silent, even the swaying of the clock's pendulum could be heard clearly. Whether anyone is curious about my real face or not, I don't know. But everyone is curious to know Bach Vi Vi's outcome. "Did I say something wrong? Why didn't you speak up, Bach Tri Phi, you're guilty too, right?" Before she finished speaking, a basin of cold water suddenly poured down, interrupting her screams, drenching her from head to toe, water dripping from her skirt and falling to the floor. She blinked in disbelief, and just as she wanted to open her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of dirty water. I followed the water and looked up to the second floor, where a woman in a red dress was holding a pot and laughing until she couldn't straighten her back. Behind her, everyone looked down with the same mocking eyes. "Eldest Miss of the Bach family? Is the Bach family about to decline? In our family, illegitimate children have no right to stand in front of their master and bark nonsense." Loud laughter echoed throughout the hall. I pretended to frown: "Is that so? So what should I do? Being so ugly, it's a big joke." So many eyes of contempt and ridicule all focused on Bach Vi Vi. Someone wanted to grab my wrist, but Ly Binh So stopped them. Luc Tri frowned and glared at me. "Tri Phi. Enough." “Yes, that's enough.” So I just smiled softly and apologized to Mr. Truong, then signaled the bodyguard to hold Bach Vi Vi's hand and drag her out. Bach Vi Vi kept screaming, crying and calling for help, but only received cold glares from the onlookers. "Bach Tri Phi! Let her go! Are you crazy?" Luc Tri struggled to rush up and pull me, but was kicked by Ly Binh So and fell to the ground. "Mr. Luc, how dare you talk to my sister like that? My sister would be very, very, very sad!" In the hall, festive music resounded as usual. Ly Binh So was extremely evil, to the point that Luc Tri trembled for half a day and still could not get up. That was the last time I proactively bent down and talked to Luc Tri. "You are becoming more and more tasteless. A dog that is not favored has no reason to ask for a reward from its owner." Losing Bach Vi Vi, Luc Tri also lost his last support. Research groups All arts stayed away from him, and no high-level academy was willing to accept him anymore. His days at the top ended, and the man once called a "genius" fell into a state of frustration and disappointment. He started sending invitations to my mansion, but the only response was my engagement invitation. I remember, the day we left, Ly Binh So bent down to look at Luc Tri lying on the ground and smiled mysteriously. "Mr. Luc, don't blame me. You're so beautiful and rich, it's okay to be a little arbitrary~. I also have to thank Mr. Luc, thanks to him, you agreed to accept me." He always speaks half-jokingly, half-seriously, but the way he works is completely different from his appearance. Since I decided to help you reclaim your inheritance, the relationship between Ly Binh So and I became one of cooperation. He needs to borrow the power of the Bach family to regain his inheritance, and I will get forty percent of the shares of Hoa Khong Group. When the invitation was delivered to Luc Tri, I was at the bar playing card games. Ly Binh So wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, men and women chirped nearby, the smell of premium wine was strong in the air. The room was dim, everywhere was filled with loud laughter. Luc Tri pushed the door open and walked in, seeing me and Ly Binh So nose to nose, eating a cotton candy together. The young man pretended to be upset because I bit off a piece of sugar, but there was still a smile in his eyes. The cheers and cheers rose up in waves, causing Luc Tri's face to become increasingly pale. He finally learned to be obedient, perhaps this was the first time he experienced coldness without anyone bothering to talk to him. He just stood next to me like that, waiting until we got bored playing. “Is there anything wrong, Mr. Luc?” I tilted my head, leaned against Ly Binh So's chest, smiling at him. "Tri Phi. I regret it." He was very smart, he didn't ask me where Bach Vi Vi had gone, nor was he stupid enough to ask me to keep my distance from other men. It's like he just realized his identity today, and started doing the right things that fit that identity. But as soon as I saw him, I immediately thought of his childhood love. Bach Vi Vi has now been thrown by me to Africa, the island of Mauritius. No papers, no means of communication, no money, no one to go with. Before leaving, she frantically screamed, glared and hissed: "Where are you taking me? America or Australia? My father will not forgive you!" “If you dare to treat me like that, you will surely die!” At that time, her limbs were pinned down and she crawled on the ground, but still refused to give up, thinking Bach Hao Dinh would come to save her. I looked at that fiercely twisted face and suddenly burst out laughing. “You and your mother, are not alike at all.” Bach Vi Vi's mother used to be "gentle like water". Even when she was locked in a secret room and forced to the limit, she could only sob softly, bowing her head and begging for forgiveness. She used to be my mother's closest confidant, but in the end she still decided to climb into my father's bed and even incited him to kill me so she could escape with her. I don't have tricks like my mother, and Bach Vi Vi is also not clever and scheming like her mother. One of my high heels destroyed her other hand. That was the last meeting between me and her in this life. And now, look at Luc's patient, pleading face Tri, besides being bored, I even started to pity my "good sister". There was not the slightest sense of accomplishment when conquering him. The scenarios I once imagined were completely shattered. He did not grit his teeth and stubbornly survived in the dark corner, like a weed. Never looking for her missing lover, vowing to fight against the dark forces. I used to think he was a wolf, so I wanted to train him to be my dog. But the truth proves that from beginning to end, he is just a dog - relying on being favored but being arrogant, without knowing moderation. Raising your head is not brave enough, bowing your head is not willing. I don't care about him. He gritted his teeth, then knelt down in front of me. He said: "Sorry, Tri Phi. I was wrong. These past few days I've been thinking a lot... I really, really can't live without you." The glass of wine in my hand shook, the flavor was gone. So I gently tilted my hand, let the red wine flow down, and poured it all over Luc Tri's head. Drops of alcohol rolled down his face, at first glance it looked like he was crying. The man I once liked so much, I'm now in no mood to look at anymore. "Indeed. Wait until I'm no longer interested in you, then you'll be obedient." He raised his head, his eyes filled with hope. But this time, I'm too lazy to even laugh. "But I'm getting married soon, Luc Tri. I've had enough of playing." As the night grew later, Ly Binh So and I returned home side by side. Luc Tri squatted downstairs alone, his shoulders covered in snow, his coat clutched tightly in his hand, not sure how long he had been waiting. That's the coat I gave him. I'm a little drunk and a little tired. Thinking about him making my game boring made me feel a little more disgusted for no reason. Since Luc Tri appeared, Ly Binh So has been unhappy, and until now has not said a word.
