Chapter 23 — There Are Positions You Can Only Hold For Yourself

Tran Nhien stopped three steps away from us. The cold light in the basement parking lot shone on his face, making the mark of the slap appear even more clearly. Dad stood in front of me, his phone already opened to call the police.

“Tran Nhien, I'll only say it once.”

“You leave here immediately.”

Tran Nhien didn't even look at his father, just stared at me.

“Giang Nguyet, I didn't come to cause trouble.”

“I only need five minutes.”

Mom pulled me behind her.

“Didn't you say enough in the banquet hall?”

Tran Nhien's throat moved slightly, his voice lowered.

“Auntie, I know everyone is prejudiced against me now.”

“But those stories were deliberately exaggerated.”

“I admit I was wrong.”

“But it's not like I've never been sincere.”

I looked at his struggling but still unwilling appearance, leaving only fatigue in my heart.

“Tran Nhien, I'll chase you down here…”

“Not to apologize.”

“It's because you're scared after I walk out of here…”

“I will no longer be under your control.”

His eyes stopped.

“Do you have to think of me like that?”

I smiled softly.

“Haven't you always thought of me like that?”

“You think I have a weak personality and am easily manipulated by you.”

“You think that my parents and I are the only daughter and won't really turn against you.”

“I think I just need to close the door and say a few soft words…”

“Then I will help you cover up all the embarrassing things today.”

Tran Nhien's face became unsightly. He took a step forward. Dad immediately raised his hand.

“Stop.”

My uncle also walked over and stood next to him, looking coldly at him.

“Young man.”

“Don't be so arrogant.”

Tran Nhien's fists clenched and then let go. He seemed to be trying to suppress his anger.

“Giang Nguyet, I heard you.”

“There are only reporters outside now.”

“If you absolutely refuse to cooperate…”

"The Tran family is finished, Manh Dinh is also finished."

“Do you really want to see a woman being torn apart by social media just because of what happened three years ago?”

I looked at him and suddenly thought it was funny.

“Earlier, when I suspected her…”

“I don't see you thinking about her that much.”

Tran Nhien's lips pressed tightly into a straight line. I continued talking.

“Until now…”

“You're still taking advantage of her.”

“You used her past as a shield…”

“To hope that I will soften my heart.”

“Tran Nhien, I can sympathize with what she went through.”

“But that doesn't mean I have to clean up this mess for you.”

Anger finally appeared in his eyes.

“So what do you want?”

“Do you really want to push everyone into a corner?”

Lawyer Tham stepped up and spoke calmly.

“Mr. Tran, please pay attention to your word usage.”

"Miss Giang is just ending a marriage and handling cooperation disputes in accordance with the law."

“The people who really caused the consequences were those who hid, lied and set traps.”

Tran Nhien smiled coldly.

“A lawyer's word is always good.”

“But Giang Nguyet…”

“Don't forget as internet news continues to spread...”

“The name of the Giang family will also be dragged in.”

"The capital source of my father's company will also be dug up."

“I really think your family has one Can you retreat cleanly?

Dad turned off the police call interface and directly called the company's legal department.

“Immediately issue a notice.”

"Clearly state the reason why the Giang family ended the engagement and canceled the cooperation."

“In addition, as for Tran Nhien continuing to threaten Giang Nguyet at the parking lot…”

“We reserve the right to report to the police and file a lawsuit.”

Tran Nhien's face immediately changed.

“You... do you have to do that?”

Dad looked at him.

"You shouldn't continue to threaten the Giang family."

“I tolerate you…”

“It's because today was originally my daughter's engagement ceremony.”

“But now…”

“Not anymore.”

Tran Nhien was about to continue speaking when the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly rang out from the emergency exit. Manh Dinh leaned against the wall and ran forward. The mark on her face had not yet disappeared, a few curls of her hair were tangled, and the hem of her white dress was also trampled on. As soon as she saw Tran Nhien, her eyes were immediately filled with hatred.

“Sure enough you chased her.”

Tran Nhien suddenly turned his head.

“What are you doing down here?”

Manh Dinh burst out laughing, laughing so much that tears were about to fall.

“I'll go down and see how much you can still act.”

She looked at me, then back at my parents.

“Giang Nguyet.”

“Don't think he's begging you now because he loves you.”

“He's just afraid that your father will really withdraw his capital.”

Tran Nhien shouted loudly.

“Manh Dinh, shut up.”

Manh Dinh seemed not to hear.

“Just now upstairs…”

“He even told me to accept everything.”

“He said as long as I admit that the photos, recordings and reporters were all arranged by me alone…”

“Then he will take me abroad.”

“But when he said those words…”

“Even when he looked at me, he didn't even look at me.”

My father's face darkened. Lawyer Tham immediately asked.

“Are you recording?”

Manh Dinh raised his phone. Tran Nhien immediately rushed forward to rob him. My uncle quickly stopped him, and security staff immediately surrounded him. When his shoulders were held tightly by security staff, Tran Nhien finally completely lost control.

“Just how much more do you want to harm me?”

I looked at him.

“No one will hurt you.”

“It was you who came to this day on your own.”

At that moment, the parking lot entrance suddenly became noisy. I don't know which reporter went down to the basement and pointed his lens at us from afar.
