Chapter 17 — The Stolen Heir For Thirty Years

“Is that… Tieu Vu?”

“I… am your mother…”

“Child… you have suffered…”

“Before your father died… he was most worried about you…”

“He knows… the Chu family has a malicious heart, he will definitely oppress me…”

“So… he prepared a retreat for me…”

19 Real Mother That voice, weak... but it penetrates through the years, as if it touches the deepest part of the listener's heart. Next to me, Chu Vu stiffened. His face turned pale in the blink of an eye, as if blood had been drained from him.

“Who… are you?”

His voice was low, tense, both wary and incredulous. The woman on the other side sighed, her sigh was as heavy as a lifetime's burden.

“Child… I am not your biological mother.”

“I am your father's biological sister… your biological aunt.”

My head felt like it was exploding, all previous logic was completely broken. Isn't Chu Vu the son of Chu Chinh Duc?

“You talk nonsense!”

Chu Vu spoke harshly, his emotions starting to break down.

"My father is there! I don't have you!"

“No… you hear me out first.”

The woman's voice was still gentle and patient to the point of being heartbreaking.

"Chu Chinh Duc... is not my biological father."

“He is just someone who takes my place and takes away my life.”

Those words were like lightning hitting the sky. Chu Vu trembled, his hand clenched the phone until it turned white. The woman continued.

"My biological father... his family name is Tran, his name is Tran Canh Son."

“He is the founder of that company, the one who built it all from scratch.”

“Chu Chinh Duc was just a subordinate at that time… the person your father trusted the most.”

“Your mother, Luu My Lan… the person she married a long time ago, is also my younger brother, Tran Canh Son.”

“You are the blood of the Tran family.”

A secret buried for thirty years… Suddenly torn apart. I looked at Chu Vu, and in his eyes was a storm of chaos—pain, doubt, and the collapse of thirty years of trust. Everything… is so wild. Compared to the secret that was exposed just now, this is a hundred times more terrifying. The woman's voice continued, slowly but as cold as a scalpel.

“Thirty years ago, your father died from overwork and was very young.”

“At that time, I was still in Liu My Lan's belly.”

"Your father clearly understands what kind of person Chu Chinh Duc is. He knows that after he dies, that person will definitely take action against your mother and the unborn child."

“So before he died, he arranged it all.”

“Ninety percent of the company's shares... have been transferred to my name, forming an irrevocable family trust.”

“He appointed me as sole guardian and executor of the estate.”

"There is only one request... before you are strong enough, absolutely do not let Chu Chinh Duc know, so that you can grow up safely."

Her voice paused for a beat, then became terrifyingly cold.

“And Chu Chinh Duc… certainly did not disappoint him.”

“He used dirty tricks, deceived and controlled a woman who had just lost her husband.”

“Forcing her to remarry, so that the child can accept the enemy as his father.”

“He swallowed my brother's company, took over my brother's wife... and abused my brother's only child!”

The space in the car seemed to freeze.

“Over the years, I have been abroad and have always watched you from afar.”

"I'm waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to be strong enough to face this truth."

“Until recently, my people in the company reported that… Chu Chinh Duc wanted to transfer all the assets that belonged to I give it to someone of unknown origin like Chu Cuong."

“I know… can't wait any longer.”

“Child, what you endured… I know it all.”

“Now… it's time.”

“It's time for you to take back everything that belongs to you.”

Chu Vu silently listened to everything. His tears fell silently, without a sound. Thirty years of resentment... finally found a solution. He is not a hated son. Just… a child raised by the enemy. He called softly, his voice choked. A calling... that he had lacked all his life. The woman's voice became gentle but full of strength.

“Tomorrow, I will return home.”

“The best lawyer… I'm ready.”

“Your father left behind… more than just a company.”

“He left me… an entire empire.”

“And now, together we will… take it all back from the one who stole it.”

“The first thing... is to freeze all assets in Chu Chinh Duc's name.”

“Including the five houses he ‘generously’ gave away.”
