1 millimeter away from you episode 17: Ngan slaps Nghiem for insulting his daughter
The conflict culminated when Nghiem was blinded by jealousy, forcing Ngan to reveal the secret of the investment capital. She made a difficult choice to protect her family.
Episode 17 of the movie "1 millimeter away from you" witnessed the conflict between Ngan and Nghiem being pushed to a climax, leading to a drastic action from Ngan to protect her last limit, her daughter Tep. Forced by her husband to withdraw capital and insulted, Ngan did not hesitate to respond with a slap from the sky.
Blind jealousy and a slap in the face
After the confrontation with Vien, Nghiem returned home and vented his anger on Ngan. He loudly demanded that his wife withdraw all capital from Vien's company. When Ngan explained that this could not be done immediately because of legal issues, Nghiem became more and more out of control and sarcastically said: "Do you regret the money or who?"
Under pressure from her husband, Ngan was forced to reveal an important truth: the capital was not her property. "The person whose name is on the shares is Tép", Ngan affirmed and said that she was only the guardian of her daughter's assets. This revelation left Nghiem stunned. In a fit of blind jealousy, he doubted: "Or is Tép not my child?"
The sentence had exceeded Ngan's tolerance limit. She immediately slapped Nghiem and firmly declared: "You can be jealous, you can be upset, but once you touch Tep, I will not be patient anymore!".
The tense confrontation between Vien and Nghiem
Before that, the conflict had started when Ngan and her husband went to Vien's house to pick up baby Tep. Nghiem showed his displeasure when he saw his daughter being close to Vien. He deliberately prevented Tep and Vien from high-fiving, making the atmosphere tense.
When there were only two men left, Nghiem triumphantly declared that Ngan would withdraw capital from Vien's company to invest in his project. However, Vien just grinned and challenged: "I think you have a bit of an illusion of power. I challenge you to withdraw capital." Vien's confident attitude made Nghiem angry but he could not respond.
Ngan's difficult choice
Although deeply hurt by Nghiem's words, Ngan still did not want her marriage to fall apart. She decided to meet Vien to have a frank talk. Ngan said she would resign from her role at the company and explained that the person who would accompany her for the rest of her life was Nghiem.
Vien accepts Ngan's decision, even though it means they will no longer see each other. However, he also affirms that his attitude towards Nghiem will not change and warns Ngan about her husband's nature: "Don't let what he does reach my ears."
Other developments in episode 17
Aside from the main storyline, the episode also has other notable developments. Vien and Tu, two brothers, are both entangled with past love affairs. While Vien cannot forget Bach's sister, Tu is still devoted to Bach despite his memory loss.
To help his sister, Vien devised a plan to "shake the tree to scare the monkeys" to force Duc (nicknamed Danni) to reveal himself after suspecting him of leaking information about the company's new game. This plan put Duc's friend Trong in a difficult position.
