Chapter 19 — Wedding Day Without Bride

Khuong Van leaned to avoid it. Hua Tri Ha missed and hit her head on a pile of old picture frames stacked on the ground. The wooden frame broke and the knife also fell. The police waiting at the end of the alley rushed in and pinned Hua Tri Ha down. Hua Tri Ha struggled and screamed:

“Khuong Van, you deliberately set a trap!”

Khuong Van squatted down and picked up the fake portrait:

“You used my mother's painting to threaten me, so let me see how much bravery you have in your hands.”

Pho Thinh Lan hugged his arm, blood seeping through his fingers. He looked at Khuong Van:

“You knew she would find you?”

Khuong Van handed over the fake painting to Aunt Lam:

"She's used to using other people's weaknesses as a negotiating tool. I just gave her a fake tool."

When Hua Tri Ha was dragged out, her mouth was still cursing:

"Pho Thinh Lan, don't try to be clean! You're just as dirty as me!"

Pho Thinh Lan bowed her head and did not refute. Khuong Van stepped out of the gallery, sunlight shining through the gap in the eaves of the old street. She doesn't wear sunglasses. Pho Thinh Lan followed:

“Van Van.”

Khuong Van paused slightly:

“Go get bandaged.”

There was a ray of hope in his eyes. She added another sentence:

“Don't die in front of my mother's gallery, it's bad luck.”

* After Hua Tri Ha was officially detained, the Pho family began to riot. Pho's mother, wanting to protect Pho Thinh Lan, pushed all responsibility onto Hua Tri Ha and Do Minh Vien. As for Hua's mother, wanting to save her daughter, she released her entire conversation history with Pho's mother. Do Minh Vien was even more cruel, he pulled out an old book, revealing the story of the Pho family in the past borrowing paintings from the Khuong family to rotate capital, basically not the first time. Khuong Van sat at the temporary representative office of the Nam Thanh Fine Arts Institute in Bac Thanh, with three folders of documents displayed in front of her. Aunt Lam asked: "Who do you plan to sue first?" Khuong Van replied: "At the same time." Lao Chau stood next to him, his back straight:

"Miss Khuong, I am willing to testify. The gallery's internal seal was abused, due to my negligence."

Khuong Van looked at old Chau:

“Aren't you afraid that Pho Tinh Lan will blame you?”

Lao Chau smiled bitterly:

"He doesn't have the heart to blame me now. There are people coming to the gallery door demanding explanations, and all the partners have withdrawn. Furthermore, I've been in the gallery for ten years, witnessed how it flourished, and also witnessed how it rotted. I can't rot with it."

Aunt Trieu brought tea and walked in:

“This statement sounds human.”

Lao Chau awkwardly took the teacup. There was a knock outside the door. Cousin Pho Nhat Ninh poked her head in:

“Can I come in?”

Khuong Van nodded: "Come in." Pho Nhat Ninh placed a hard drive on the table:

"This is a camera backup of the Pho family's study room. I secretly copied it. There is a scene where my aunt and Hua's mother discussed the baby, and there is also a scene where Pho Thinh Lan stole her key."

Aunt Trieu rolled her eyes:

“This girl is quite real.”

Pho Nhat Ninh rubbed his nose:

"Before, I also thought Ms. Khuong was taking advantage of the Pho family. Last night I found out, the Pho family was sucking her blood."

Khuong Van looked at the girl:

“What is your name?”

“Deputy Nhat Ninh.”

“Thank you, Nhat Ninh.”

Deputy Nhat Ninh's ears turned red:

“Don't thank me. Me too I don't want people to curse me when I go out in the future because the Pho family is a bunch of shameless people."

Lao Chau took the hard drive:

"There's this, Pho's mother can't deny it."

As soon as the words ended, there was a noise outside. Pho's mother led two relatives and rushed straight in:

“Khuong Van, come here for me!”

Aunt Trieu slammed the tea tray down on the table:

“Are you here to submit evidence again?”

Pho's mother pointed at Khuong Van:
