Chapter 12 — 19 Lakhs 2, Buying Out a Family

Looking at the screen, his eyes flashed, then quickly went to the balcony and closed the glass door. She turned her back to us, lowered her voice, and spoke secretly. I looked at that back... a bad premonition arose in my heart. I pretended to stand up and pour water, quietly walking closer to the balcony door. The door is closed, but not closed. Ly Mai's voice, mixed with crying and cruelty... leaked out.

“Mom… it's not done… this house is finished…”

“That Chu Tinh is crazy, he forced us to death…”

“Yes, that's how I told mom…”

“I already looked it up, just need to add the name now…”

“After the divorce, the house will have to be divided in half to the children!”

"At that time, let's see if Chu Tinh is still satisfied!"

My hand tightened around the glass of water. Add name to house book? One plan... killing two birds with one stone. I stood still, not moving. The glass in my hand... made a soft sound. On the balcony, Ly Mai continued to speak, her voice both excited and malicious.

“That's right mom, you'll be here tomorrow.”

“First, be gentle with that old lady, say add your name for peace of mind.”

"She wants you to stay and give birth to an heir. She will definitely agree."

“As long as she nods, we can go through the procedure.”

“At that time I pretended not to know that Chu Tinh kept the house book.”

"Say it's gone, go make a new one!"

"Waiting for the new book to come out, my name is in there, everything is done!"

“At that time… this house was no longer its own!”

Every sentence, every word... seemed to freeze the blood in my body. I used to think Ly Mai was just a shrewd, cunning woman. She's even more sinister than that. She doesn't just want to avoid debt. But I also want to... bite back. If she can do it... The house will become the property of four people. Truong Tu Mai. She takes a quarter. One hit... both robbed money and occupied the house. Truly... evil to the bone. If Ly Mai divorces Chu Hao, Chu Hao's assets will be divided in half according to husband and wife law. In fact, inside and out, she was able to salvage nearly half of the house's value. As for the debt paper in my hand... because the mortgaged property has changed ownership, it will become fragile. I will be completely captured by her. Truly poisonous to the bone. I took a deep breath, forcing down my anger. Then he quietly returned to the living room and sat down as if he had never heard anything. Ly Mai finished calling and walked in, the gloomy look on her face had disappeared. Instead it was a calculating smile. She sat down next to Truong Tu Mai and hugged her hand. The voice was suddenly gentle and obedient to the point of being fake.

"Mom, don't be angry anymore. I was wrong just now, don't argue with Chu Hao."

"I know our family is having a difficult time right now, so I should shoulder the burden with him."

Truong Tu Mai paused, she didn't expect her to change her attitude so quickly.

“Tieu Mai… I…”

“Mom, I know you're worried that Chu Hao and I won't be able to continue.” When Ly Mai said this, her eyes turned red and her acting was scary smooth.

"But I have feelings for him, I won't go. It's just... I also need a little sense of security."

She spoke while secretly looking at Truong Tu Mai's face.

"Or... Mom, please add my name to the house book. That way I can feel secure, and then I'll honestly stay and give you a chubby grandson."

This drama... if I hadn't listened to the phone call just now, I might have been fooled too. But Truong Tu Mai was psychologically hit. To her, nothing is more important than keeping her daughter-in-law and keeping her family line. She immediately forgot everything the words Ly Mai just scolded her son.

“Okay, okay, good boy.” She excitedly held Ly Mai's hand.

"Mom agrees! Tomorrow, I'll take you to work!"

“Thank you mom!” Ly Mai hugged her, the sight of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" was so warm that it was funny.

The two of them were immersed in their plan. Completely unaware... my eyes were cold as ice. They also forget, in this house, who is in charge. Chu Hao sat next to him, looking at this scene in bewilderment. He thought his wife really turned around.

"Okay."

I suddenly spoke up. My voice… cut through that fake atmosphere. Three people turned to look at me at the same time. A flash of tension flashed in Ly Mai's eyes.

“What...what did you say?”

“I said, this is a good idea.”
