Chapter 5 — When Lawyers Are Betrayed

Life is quite simple, outside of work, we just hang out, eat, and shop with a few female colleagues. This information is very useful, helping me have an overall view of her. An ordinary girl, without special support, nor much ambition. Perhaps attracted by Giang Hao's maturity and economic conditions. This type of girl is often quite simple and easily moved. Surely Giang Hao showed her the best version of himself, while also hiding the fact that he was married. This gives me an idea. If Bach Nguyet doesn't know that Giang Hao is married, then when she knows the truth, what will her reaction be? I decided to try investigating. I created a new WeChat account, using a fake name and virtual profile picture. In some ways, I became friends with Bach Nguyet. My strategy was to pretend to be a friend who cared about her, step by step leading her to talk about her relationship with Giang Hao. "Hello, I saw you on the yoga forum, I heard you are a very good instructor." Very quickly, Bach Nguyet replied: "Hello, thank you for the compliment. Do you also practice yoga?" "Yes, I just learned it. I saw the photo you posted, the movements are very good." "Thank you, I will try harder." We chatted a few words about things. During yoga, Bach Nguyet talked quite openly and friendly. I started to probe: "I see you're in a good mood lately, is there something funny?" "Um... a little happy." – with a shy emoji. "In love?" "Look, I met a very nice person." "Congratulations! What does he do?" "Works at an investment company, a few years older than me, very mature and calm." Investment company, older, mature, calm. Completely coincides with Giang Hao. "Sounds good, have you two known each other for a long time?" "More than three months, met when he came to practice yoga at my place." "Does he also practice yoga? That's rare." "Yeah, he said it was to relieve stress. Work is very stressful, often have to work overtime."Overtime. It's that familiar reason again. "How far have you two progressed? Have you met his friends or family yet?" Bach Nguyet was silent for a moment before answering: "No... he said the time wasn't appropriate." "Why isn't it appropriate?" "He said the family situation was a bit complicated, he needed to finish a few things before making our story public." Family situation is complicated. Giang Hao really knows how to make up stories. "How complicated?" "He didn't explain clearly, just told me to wait more." It seems that Giang Hao never told Bach Nguyet that he was married. This further strengthens my speculation. Bach Nguyet is the "third person" whose eyes are covered. Even though she objectively said she ruined my marriage, subjectively she may not have known the truth at all. This eased my anger a bit, but also opened up more space for me to take action. If I tell Bach Nguyet the truth, what will her reaction be? Continue to be the third party, or leave Giang Hao in anger? I guess, given her age and personality, it's more likely to be the latter. Well then… this is my chance. Let Giang Hao lose Bach Nguyet, experience the feeling of being abandoned. To further confirm that Bach Nguyet did not know that Giang Hao was married, I continued chatting. "Does your boyfriend treat you well?" "Very good, often buys me gifts, and even takes me to many fun places." – with a few happy emojis. "Sounds like a very psychological man." "Yes, he's mature, knows how to take care of others. Completely different from the boys I've met." "Are you two thinking about getting married?" This question made Bach Nguyet silent for a long time. "This... it's not the right time for him to talk about." "Why? You're both adults, if your relationship is stable, marriage is normal." "He said there are still a few things to resolve,

After that, I'll discuss the wedding with you." "What's so important?" "I don't know, he doesn't want to go into detail. Every time I asked, he said don't worry, everything will be fine."
