Chapter 4 — Three Years of Goose Thighs

I told the maid company to change all the bed sheets and furniture, and throw away everything Giang Xuyen left behind. Ms. Ly was invited back by me. She was busy in the kitchen, the aroma spread throughout the whole house. "Boss, please try this chicken with onion oil, it's just come out of the pot." On the golden chicken skin covered with a layer of green minced onions, the aroma filled the nose. I took a piece and put it in my mouth. The meat is tender and succulent, with a rich onion flavor. It turns out fresh food is what this tastes like. My phone rang, it was my mother-in-law calling. I missed the call and didn't speak. On the other end of the line was her crazy angry scolding. "On Nhien, you scoundrel! You've ruined our Xuyen Xuyen family! His company is about to end, do you know? You're a comet!" I listened quietly. Ms. Ly looked at me worriedly. I shook my head at her, signaling that it was okay. I waited until the other party was tired of scolding me before slowly opening my mouth. "Auntie, have you forgotten? I am no longer your daughter-in-law anymore." The other side immediately stopped making noise. I continued: "Besides, it's best to keep your mouth in check. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that anyone else will know that you embezzled public funds to buy a Porsche for Giang Xuyen that year." The phone was hung up forcefully. The world is quiet. I put down the phone and continued eating. Ms. Ly scooped me a bowl of soup and said in a low voice: "Boss, Miss Lam just came. Standing outside the door for a long time, she finally left." "Yes." After dinner, I received a strange call. It's Lam Nguyet. "Mrs. On Nhien, I was wrong." "During the time you called me," I interrupted her, "it's better to submit a few more resumes." After saying that, I hung up the phone. Unexpectedly, Giang Xuyen and Lam Nguyet still refused to give up. 7That afternoon, I was sitting in the yard looking at new project documents. Ms. Ly brought over a plate of freshly cut fruit. "Boss, there's someone looking for you outside." I didn't look up. "I didn't see you." "It's Giang Xuyen." My hand flipping through the documents paused for a moment, then continued. "Then call the police, say someone is harassing you." Ms. Ly replied, and was about to go in when there was a noise outside the door. Giang Xuyen actually barged in on his own. He was much more emaciated than a few days ago, his beard was pale and his eyes were full of blood. In his hand, he held a thermos box. "Nhuan Nhien." He walked a few steps and rushed in front of me, opening the thermos box. "Look, I searched all over the city, asking someone to make it just for you. It's fresh. Nhien Nhien, can you taste it?" "Giang Xuyen, have you forgotten? I don't like to eat goose legs." He was stunned. "You've only been eating what I brought home for three years, so I thought you liked eating." His face immediately turned pale. "Nien Nhien, I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong. Lam Nguyet is gone, the company... the company is no longer there. Now I have nothing left, I only have you." He took a step forward, wanting to pull me. I stood up and stepped back. "So?" I calmly looked at him. "I'm empty handed, what does it have to do with you?" He staggered a bit, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Our husband and wife of five years..." "It's gone since you fed me rotten food." I picked up the documents on the table, preparing to go back to my room. He suddenly rushed forward and hugged me from behind. "On Nhien, you can't be so cruel! Look at me, I love you so much, I became like this for you!" I didn't struggle, I just felt noisy. At this moment, my phone rang. I got out and answered the phone. "Hello, lawyer Tran." "Ms. On, congratulations. We have completed the final process on the acquisition of Trac Viet Advertising." "Okay. Next Monday, hold a meeting of the board of directors and announce the company's name change." I hung up the phone. The person behind, the body is completely stiff

dull. I turned around to look at him. "Forgot to tell you." I smiled and said word by word: "Trac Viet Advertising, it's yours now." His knees went weak and he fell to the ground. I didn't look at him anymore, turned around and went into the house, closing the door. The building of Trac Viet Advertising officially changed its name to Wen Thi Communications. I'm announcing a new quarterly growth plan. Halfway through the meeting, there was a deafening scream outside the door. Giang Xuyen's mother rushed in. 8 "On Nhien! White-eyed wolf! You can't die properly!" She banged on the door frantically, trying to get everyone's attention. The board members looked at each other. I didn't look at her, just raised my chin to the security guard at the door. "Please let her out. From now on, neither this female scholar nor the dog are allowed to enter this building." The meeting ended, lawyer Tran walked towards me. "Miss On, it's all been handled." I nodded and walked out of the meeting room. On the bench at the elevator door, Giang Xuyen sat there. Seeing me, he rushed forward, carrying the smell of alcohol. "Nhan Nhien." He wanted to pull my hand, but I leaned away. He looked at me, his eyes red. "The company... is truly yours." "Yes." He suddenly burst out laughing. "You won. You have everything.
