Chapter 3 — After being divorced for half a year, the Respite Center calls me the baby's mother

Chu Que Lan immediately shouted:

“What are you talking like?!”

I turned my head to look at her.

“Then try saying something easy to listen to.”

“Who is that child… exactly?”

Chu Que Lan was speechless. At that moment, Tong Vien's phone rang. The screen clearly shows two words: Luc Canh Xuyen. I coldly said: She reflexively hid the phone behind her back. I directly took out my phone and called Luc Canh Xuyen. The bell rang three times and he picked up the phone. I turned on the speakerphone.

“Do you know that Tong Vien is in Duyet An center?”

The other end of the line was silent for a moment.

"Don't make a big deal out of it anymore, I'll handle the money from the detention center."

I looked at Chu Que Lan and then looked at Tong Vien.

“You know they used my name to create a profile?”

Luc Canh Xuyen's voice lowered.

“It's just a temporary rotation.”

"Wait for the benefits to be approved, the money will be compensated immediately."

“What benefits?”

Chu Que Lan immediately reached out to steal my phone. I took a step back. On the phone, Luc Canh Xuyen's voice suddenly became urgent:

"Didn't mom tell you? Don't let her see the application."

In the entire hallway, no one moved. I quietly saved the recording. The phone vibrates. Ms. Vuong sent a message. 【Tri Ha, I found it.】 【This morning someone used your name to apply for fertility benefits.】 I opened the screenshot. Registrant: Lam Tri Ha. Subsidy application category: Additional childbirth allowance. Reimbursement for mother and baby care. Review postpartum recovery. Attached documents include a certificate of residence from Duyet An center. There is also the child's birth registration number. I turned the phone screen towards the three members of the Luc family. Tong Vien took a half step back. Chu Que Lan hugged the baby tighter. On the other end of the phone, Luc Canh Xuyen was silent. I directly forwarded the photos to the company's legal department.

“Review freeze.”

Ms. Vuong replied very quickly: 【The file has been locked. The lawyer is on his way.】 I put the phone away and turned to look at Trieu Man.

“Who issues the residence certificate?”

The corners of her lips were stiff.

“Automatically generated system.”

I pointed to the stamp on the paper.

“Does the seal close automatically too?”

She didn't answer. I turned to ask Tong Vien:

“Where did my photocopy of ID come from?”

Tong Vien bowed his head.

"I... I don't know. It's all Canh Xuyen's doing."

I asked straight into the phone:

“Luc Canh Xuyen, what did you do?”

His voice was low.

“Lam Tri Ha, let's meet and talk.”

"No need."

I glanced at the camera at the end of the hallway.

“I am in Duyet An.”

“I'll be here immediately.”

“If not, I will bring all documents directly to your company.”

The other end of the line was silent for two seconds.

“Do you have to make things so unsightly?”

I laughed.

“When you used my name to raise someone else's child…”

“Why don't you find it unsightly?”

Tong Vien's face became even whiter. Chu Que Lan immediately interjected:

"Canh Xuyen and I are divorced, is Vien Vien not allowed to have children?"

I looked at her.

“Of course she can give birth.”

“Whoever gives birth is the one who raises them.”

“Whoever lives there pays.”

“Just don't use my name.”

Trieu Man immediately spoke up:

"Miss Lam, the shelter is just a service provider and does not interfere with your family matters."

I turned to look at her.

“The pregnant woman's name is me.”

“The ID number is me.”

“The bill made me pay.”

“Confirmation put your seal.”

“Now you say it's irrelevant?”

She was stiffened by my throat. The elevator opens. Two guards stepped out and stood at the beginning of the hallway. I glanced at them.

“Trieu Man, please let them stand here…”

“Is it to keep order?”

“Or to keep me from leaving?”

“Her emotions are unstable right now. We just want to ensure scene safety.”

I played the recording directly.

“Say it again.”

Trieu Man immediately fell silent. I called the police again.

"Currently, the center staff is placing security guards in the hallway. I can't leave normally."

The other end of the line asked the security guard not to stop people, and told me to stand in an area with cameras to wait for the police to arrive. The two guards looked at each other and immediately retreated to the side. At that moment, Chu Que Lan suddenly hugged the baby and sat down on the ground.

“Everyone, come and see!”

"The ex-daughter-in-law is rich and powerful, so she abandoned her own daughter!"

Someone started holding up their phone to record. Tong Vien also bowed his head, sniffling slightly as if about to cry. I didn't help Chu Que Lan up. I just slowly opened the camera. Take her. Take the baby. Take a photo of the room number plate. Taken by Trieu Man. Capture Tong Vien. Chu Que Lan was stunned.

“What did you take?”

“For proof.”

“The words you just said were all spoken from your own mouth.”

Chu Que Lan's voice immediately choked. Tong Vien raised his head.

“Miss Tri Ha… the baby is truly innocent.”

I looked at her.

“Then don't put it in my name.”

The phone vibrated again. It was Ms. Vuong calling.

“Tri Ha, there are more than just fertility benefits records.”

“There is also an agreement to add a guardian.”

I told her to send it over. Three seconds later, the photo appeared on the screen. In the "Mother" section, clearly state: Lam Tri Ha. The application deadline is the third month after Luc Canh Xuyen and I divorced. I zoomed in on the agreement.

“Chu Que Lan.”

Her eyes immediately avoided. I turned to look at Tong Vien.

“You don't just want me to pay 280,000 yuan.”

“You want me to raise this baby for you.”
