Chapter 18 — 7 Fingerprints Found In My New Home

“You don't deserve to mention my mother.”

Chu Canh Xuyen hugged his cheek. Eyes full of humiliation. Hua Man cried while being taken by the police to coordinate the investigation. Before running after. Chu Canh Xuyen turned his head to look at me. His eyes looked like he was looking at a stranger.

“I saw you wrong.”

I put the bracelet back on my wrist. Calmly replied:

“I should have told you a long time ago.”

Hua Man's story. Directly tore off the last mask of the Chu family. The next morning. My mother-in-law brought a group of relatives to my bakery. She sat on a low plastic chair. Next to it stood a large white cardboard. On it were written in bright red letters:

“Daughter-in-law forces mother-in-law to the end.”

Khuong Le just saw it. I almost threw the bucket of water in my hand into her face. I pulled her back.

“Let her sit.”

Just saw me coming out. The mother-in-law immediately beat her thighs and cried.

“Everyone, look quickly!”

“That's it!”

“Forcing my son to ruin his family!”

“Pushed a pregnant girl into the police station!”

“Now you want to rob our house!”

Right at morning rush hour. There were more and more people passing by. Many people stopped to take out their phones to film. Their aunt standing in the crowd immediately chimed in:

“Girls-in-law these days are so terrible!”

“Elderly people just write their fingerprints and call the police!”

I stood at the store. Calmly said:

“You keep going.”

Mother-in-law was stunned. Obviously I didn't expect that I didn't bother to argue back. So she screamed even louder.

“The money to open his store is all my son's money!”

“Now turn your face and refuse to accept anyone!”

“And go seduce the big boss!”

Khuong Le was so angry that he burst out laughing.

“This old lady!”

“Save some virtue for your children and grandchildren!”

The mother-in-law immediately lay down on the ground. Screaming like a pissed off pig.

“Hit someone!”

“The flower shop owner beat someone!”

Apparently Khuong Le hadn't even touched her yet. Yet she performed to perfection. Khuong Le trembled. In the crowd. Some people are starting to soften.

“It looks really pitiful.”

“The old man is lying on the ground.”

Someone else remembered the video that went viral yesterday.

"Wait."

“Is this the bakery that got hit with expired butter?”

I raised my head. Look across the street. Chu Canh Xuyen is standing there. He never stepped forward. Just hold your phone and film. He hid behind his mother. Like a coward. Right at that moment. Tham Chieu arrived. Accompanied by two notaries wearing neat suits. Seeing strangers. The mother-in-law immediately became less arrogant.

“Who are you?”

Tham Chieu calmly replied:

“According to Ms. Lam's mandate.”

“We came to record and fix evidence at the scene.”

The mother-in-law immediately jumped up.

“Fixed what?”

“Is it illegal for me to tell the truth?”

I turned to Khuong Le.

“Pull down the projection screen.”

That's the equipment Van Hoa lent me last night. Capital intended to be used to introduce new products. It has a different effect. I plugged in the USB. The first video appears. It's a recording of my mother-in-law and Chu Bang discussing how to use fake butter to harm me. Second video. The mother-in-law's voice said clearly:

“Wait until he signs the agreement.”

“The house is left to Canh Xuyen.”

“Shop for Chu Bang.”

“Hua Man moved in and it's just beautiful.”

Third video. It was the voice message she sent in the family group yesterday.

“Everyone will remember the store tomorrow by Lam Van.”

“Whoever performs more miserably will be rewarded with two hundred yuan.”

“It must defame its reputation.”

“Otherwise he will not give up his house.”

The whole street immediately fell silent. Their aunt just now enthusiastically joined in. Hearing this, I immediately turned around and tried to run away. Khuong Le was one step faster. Block right in front of her.

“Have you received the two hundred yuan?”

“Once you receive it, stay and listen to it all.”

The crowd started pointing fingers. The man who had just said that his mother-in-law was pitiful just now also muttered:

“This is too unethical.”

The mother-in-law's face is sometimes blue and sometimes white. She rushed forward to pull the power cord.

“It's all fake!”

Tham Chieu stood in front of the projection screen.

“There is a notary here.”

“If you continue to sabotage the equipment.”

“We will add civil liability.”

Right at that moment. Chu Canh Xuyen finally rushed over from the other side of the street. I looked at him.

“When your mother hung me out in front of the store to scold me.”

“Why don't you tell her to turn it off?”

He gritted his teeth.

“She was cornered.”

I laughed.

“Who cornered you?”

“Or driven by her own greed?”

Mother-in-law cried while pulling her son's hand.

“Son!”

“What should I say?”

“He wants to force me to death!”

Chu Canh Xuyen looked at the surrounding eyes. His face turned red from humiliation. Right at that moment. A commercial vehicle stopped on the side of the road. The person who got off the bus was General Manager Lam. Behind are two Van Hoa employees. He directly posted a notice on the bakery window. Then read each word clearly:

“Van Hoa will continue to cooperate with Studio Lam Van.”

"For the recent acts of slander and defamation of Ms. Lam."

“We have finished collecting evidence.”

“And transfer it to a lawyer to handle.”

In the crowd. Some people read it out loud. The mother-in-law immediately stopped crying. Chu Canh Xuyen stared at the notice. The whole person seemed to be nailed to the spot. General Manager Lam walked in front of me.

“The first batch of goods has been accepted and met requirements.”

“Today we came to sign the official contract.”

That saying. Even more resounding than all the scoldings just now. Right at that moment. Trieu Minh Duc came from nowhere to squeeze into the crowd. Laugh until your face is full of wrinkles.

“Tieu Lam!”

“I brought the lease extension contract.”

“The rent remains the same.”

“Five years without price increase.”

Khuong Le crossed her arms.

“Didn't someone want to rent it back yesterday?”
