Chapter 5 — A Paper That Tests People's Hearts

I immediately became impolite and coldly retorted: "You want to remarry me, unless I have a problem with my head!" “And you — instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself and your mother.” Chuong Tien frowned, full of doubt: "What do you mean?" I curled my lips and smiled coldly, pulled Dang Hong Mai's medical examination report straight from my pocket, and slapped it loudly on the table: "To tell you the truth - the person with the incurable disease... is not my mother, but your mother!" 5 Seeing the medical report I threw out, Truong Tien's eyes widened, his face was shocked, not daring to believe: "What... what?"

"No way! You must be lying! The sick person is clearly your mother, the dying person is also your mother, how could it be my mother?!" Dang Hong Mai was also stunned on the spot. A few seconds later, he immediately glared at me sharply, his eyes full of resentment.

“What nonsense is this damn girl talking about? My health is very good, I have no illness at all!” "I see that you are deliberately cursing me to death, just because I won't lend you the money to treat my mother! Why do you have such a cruel heart, young daughter? Not even the slightest bit of filial piety and respect for the elderly!"

I looked at her coldly, each word clear and distinct: "I took this health certificate directly from the hospital. Because they had the same last name, the hospital issued the wrong report - so I thought my mother had an incurable disease." "But actually, the person who is sick... is you, mother-in-law. No, it's more correct to call her 'former mother-in-law'." Dang Hong Mai was so angry that her face turned red and her facial expression was distorted. As for Truong Tien, he still stubbornly refused to believe it, arguing madly: "What did you send by mistake? You definitely forged this paper, just to annoy me and my mother!" "Tran Thien! Isn't it just two hundred million in hospital fees? Do you have to be so narrow-minded and vindictive? I never knew you were such a petty woman!" I stood still, my eyes indifferent as if I was watching a comedy, and coldly replied: "Chuong Tien, I'm not petty - I just opened my eyes." I didn't bother paying attention to Truong Tien's useless anger, just calmly said: "If you don't believe me, just take your mother to the hospital for another check-up. I can lie, but the doctor can't." At that moment, Dang Hong Mai suddenly coughed violently, and less than a second later, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with phlegm right in the palm of her hand. Seeing that crimson color, panic immediately appeared in her eyes.

“My child… could it be… that I really have an incurable disease?”

Chuong Tien also began to waver, his face changing continuously. Hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to take his mother to the hospital for a check-up. But before leaving, he turned his head and glared at me deeply, gritting his teeth: "Tran Thien, if I find out you're lying to me, you'll definitely die!" He took my mother and left, while I carried my luggage, without looking back once, took the car back home. In that place, just one more second would make me feel suffocated and extremely unlucky. … When I got home, I had just finished packing my luggage and my mother was getting ready to go to the kitchen to cook rice. I quickly walked over and stopped her: "Mom, we don't need to cook today. I've already booked a table at the restaurant - today we'll have a delicious meal. Celebrate freedom!” Not only to celebrate that my mother is healthy, but also to celebrate that I kicked that guy out of my life — happy divorce! Mom nodded in agreement, then my mother and I enjoyed steak together with gentle music. In the middle of the meal, my phone vibrated non-stop. Just opened — more than 99 messages, all from Chuong Tien. 【Tran Thien, it's not okay! His mother is really terminally ill! It turns out I was telling the truth, I didn't lie to you!】 【The doctor said he needed two hundred million for urgent surgery, what should I do now?!】 【That's right, I remember you borrowed money from your best friend to treat your mother, right? Now it's a misunderstanding, your mother is fine... so can you temporarily lend me that amount to take care of my mother?】 Huh. Are you panicking now? Indeed, if a knife does not cut your skin, you will never feel pain. I smiled coldly, raised my phone to take a photo of the luxurious meal, then sent it to him with a text message: 【Busy, not free.】 Immediately, Truong Tien sent a voice message. As soon as it came out, his voice angrily shouted: "When is it now that you still have the mind to eat and drink? My mother is seriously ill!” I just leisurely cut the meat, my voice as indifferent as the wind blowing clouds: "Your mother only needs two hundred million right now, so what's the matter?" You can also buy some used things to save money, eat less, gas less... Wasn't it you who taught me to save every penny? Don't worry, I'll definitely get through it."

“That's your mother, not mine. What does your mother's illness have to do with me? Besides, we're divorced — now we're just strangers. You take care of it yourself.”

I used the exact words that Truong Tien once told me and returned it to him intact. Unexpectedly, he was poked in a painful spot and began to go crazy, sending continuous recordings.

“Tran Thien! After all, we were once husband and wife, my mother was also your mother-in-law, how could you be so cold-blooded that not even a penny would help?” “If you look like this, you will die without being saved!”
