Hua Man gently stroked her belly. Soft voice.

“It's come to this.”

“I also don't want to beat around the bush anymore.”

“Canh Xuyen will divorce you.”

“You take the money and leave.”

“Don't make things too unsightly.”

“The baby can't stand these things.”

Khuong Le immediately rushed forward.

“You still dare to appear?”

Hua Man immediately dodged behind Chu Canh Xuyen.

“Canh Xuyen.”

Chu Canh Xuyen stood right in front of her.

“Khuong Le.”

“Try touching her.”

I looked at that protective posture. Suddenly felt funny. That day my mother-in-law dropped my hand on the door handle. He stood in the middle of the living room. Didn't move at all. Hua Man only said one sentence "I'm scared". He immediately erected a wall. I looked straight at him.

“Chu Canh Xuyen.”

“When did you start with her?”

An awkward look appeared on his face.

"We already have no feelings anymore."

I interrupted.

“I asked since when?”

Hua Man immediately interjected.

“Does tracking time still have any meaning?”

"The two people's marriage is only in name."

"Canh Xuyen doesn't receive warmth when she's by your side."

Khuong Le burst out laughing.

“Not receiving warmth?”

“Go home and have food to eat.”

“There is soup to drink.”

“There is a house to live in.”

“What else do you want?”

“Do you want someone to help you incubate the eggs?”

Hua Man's face immediately changed color.

“Please talk more clearly.”

I don't look at her. Just look at Chu Canh Xuyen.

“The night before moving day.”

“I took her into the wedding house.”

Chu Canh Xuyen's pupils shrank.

“You investigate me?”

“Door lock data.”

Hua Man was startled in an instant. But he quickly regained his composure.

“What if I come in?”

“That house is called Canh Xuyen.”

“Whoever he wants to bring in is his right.”

I looked straight into her eyes.

“What did you take away that night?”

Hua Man unconsciously touched her wrist. I also looked. A gold bracelet. Sparkling under the lights. The blood in my body seemed to freeze. That bracelet... It's a relic my mother left behind. Her mother-in-law gave it to Chu Canh Tinh to wear. Then I asked for it back. Lock in bedroom drawer in new home. Hua Man noticed my eyes.

“This?”

“Canh Xuyen said his mother gave it to his future grandson.”

I stepped forward.

“Take it down.”

Chu Canh Xuyen immediately blocked in front of me.

“Just an old bracelet.”

“Don't scare her.”

I looked at him. Each word seemed frozen.

“It's my mother's relic.”

The smile on Hua Man's face immediately stiffened. Chu Canh Xuyen was also stunned.

“I... don't know.”

I laughed coldly.

“If you don't know, can you get it?”

Hua Man quickly hid her hands behind her.

“When you say it's a relic, it's a relic?”

“I've been wearing it for so long.”

“Who knows if it's yours?”

Right at that moment. Tan Viet spoke up.

“The new front door camera records very clearly.”

“The day Miss Hua left.”

“In the bag was revealed a jewelry box.”

“The time completely coincides with the time Ms. Lam's belongings were lost.”

Tham Chieu nodded.

“You can report it to the police.”

Hua Man's face immediately turned pale.

“Canh Xuyen…”

Chu Canh Xuyen gritted his teeth.

“Do you have to push a pregnant woman into the police station?”

I looked at him. His eyes no longer had any emotion.

“When she took my mother's things.”

“Isn't she a pregnant woman?”

Khuong Le directly dialed the police number. Hua Man frantically removed the bracelet. But my hands trembled too much. The gold bracelet slipped from her hand. Fall to the floor brick. The sound is not loud. But it makes my heart ache. I bent down to pick it up. Turn the bracelet inside out. There is a very small word. It's the word my mother asked an old silversmith to engrave that year. Hua Man saw that word. Lips immediately turned white. When the police arrived. Chu Canh Xuyen still tried to negotiate.

“Just a misunderstanding.”

“Took the wrong thing from the house.”

The policewoman received the bracelet. Then turned to look at Hua Man.

“This bracelet.”

“Who gave it to you?”

Hua Man instinctively looked towards Chu Canh Xuyen. Chu Canh Xuyen replied:

“My mother gave it.”

The female police officer took a few notes. Then raise your head.

“Then please invite your mother to come here once.”

“We need to verify the origin of the assets.”

That moment. I saw Chu Canh Xuyen's face completely change. Because he understands very well. Once his mother arrives. The bracelet story is just the beginning. And the house. Child in the womb. And all the lies throughout the past time... Will be revealed one by one. The policewoman asked again:

“Do you know that this bracelet is not from the Chu family?”

Hua Man bowed her head. Lips pursed tightly. No reply. Tham Chieu stepped forward. Give all evidence in hand to the police. Camera recordings. Door lock data. Testimony of Chu Canh Tinh. Same photo of the gold bracelet. Right at that moment. Chu Canh Xuyen completely lost control.

“Just because of a bracelet belonging to a deceased person, do you want to destroy a living child?”

I raised my hand and slapped him straight in the face. The whole bakery immediately fell silent. The air seemed frozen. My palms are numb. But the voice was strangely calm.
