Chapter 7 — 3.6 Million Yuan And The End For A Greedy Family

"Everyone, get away! Please get out of the way! My mother-in-law has a history of severe heart disease, and excitement easily causes illness! Everyone, stop standing around, let her breathe, don't delay emergency treatment!"

As soon as my words ended— Truong My Lan's crying... stopped noticeably. She... was stunned. She was just pretending to be sick, wanting to use public opinion to force me to give in. Unexpectedly... I called the ambulance straight away. Hearing the word "heart disease", the crowd was also afraid of something real happening and immediately dispersed. Soon, the siren of an ambulance rang out in the distance. Several medical staff rushed over pushing a stretcher.

"Where are the family members? How is the patient's condition?"

I immediately stepped up:

"I'm the daughter-in-law. She just fell down, said she had chest tightness and difficulty breathing, and had a history of heart disease."

The medical staff did not say much, preparing to put Truong My Lan on a stretcher and attach a heart monitor. At this moment... she was really panicking. If you are dragged to the hospital and tested to be free of illness— Your face... is as good as buried. She jumped up like a carp turning into a dragon, her voice ringing like a bell:

"I'm okay! I'm okay! Just a little dizzy just now, I'm fine now!"

The movements are even more agile than those of a young person. Everyone… froze. Just now I was half alive— Now I'm healthy again. The medical staff was also dumbfounded and frowned:

"Are you sure? We still advise you to get checked."

"No need! I know my own body!"

After she finished speaking, she sneaked out of the crowd. A drama... ending in shame. Everyone's eyes— From sympathy to contempt. I watched her back as she ran away. No emotions. But Truong My Lan's crazy trick... is just the beginning. Co Xuyen's madness... Really makes me cold. That night, I worked late and came home late. The road from the parking lot to the building is quite dark. When he was about to reach the door— From the bushes nearby, a figure suddenly rushed out! He tightly covered my mouth, grabbed me with his other hand, and pulled me towards the black car parked nearby! The smell of alcohol and cigarettes was overwhelming. It's Co Xuyen. In that moment— Fear gripped my heart. I struggled frantically, kicking wildly. The bag fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye— I remembered what I just bought. Self-defense spray. I mustered all my strength, pulled out one hand, fumbled in my pocket— Grasping the small bottle. Without looking— I turned around, insisting! A horrifying scream ripped through the night. Co Xuyen clutched his eyes and fell to the ground, convulsing like a shrimp. The hand covering my mouth... let go. I rushed towards the lighted door, running and tremblingly dialed 110. That was the first time— He used violence against me. It was also the only time— Made me completely decisive. This marriage— Must end immediately. This man… I don't want to be involved for another second. Because of the act of trying to arrest people in the middle of the street, even though it was not enough to constitute a criminal offense, Co Xuyen was still taken to the police station, administratively handled, and detained for 5 days. When he walked out— He was like a defeated chicken. Emaciated and worn out. Don't give him time to breathe. The next day, I asked a lawyer and sent him three divorce agreements directly. The content is very simple. After marriage, there are no common assets and no common debts. Gambling debt— It's his own. Doesn't concern me. I don't need his money. Also no compensation required. There is only one thing— Divorce as quickly as possible. When he received the papers, he called me. No more threats. No more begging. There was only… exhaustion to the point of despair.

"Nien Niem... is that true? We... just got married..."

“Do you… really have no feelings left?”

I picked up the phone, walked out the window, and looked at the busy traffic on the street.

“Love?”

I laughed coldly.

“From the moment you and your mother started targeting my dowry… there was no longer any love between us, only calculation.”

"Since you forced me to give you money, you laid hands on me... between us, we are no longer strangers."

"Co Xuyen, sign. This is the kindest ending."

Having finished speaking, I hung up the phone. I don't want to get involved another second. For a week after that, I didn't think about the Co family. All my mind... was focused on something more important— I called my mother, asked her to divide the gold I had hidden in my hometown, gradually convert it into cash, and then deposit it back into a new bank card. After that, I started looking at houses. There is a project I have been paying attention to for a long time, located right next to my parents' house. Good location, beautiful design, complete amenities. Most important— Close to family. We can rely on each other. I don't hesitate.
