Chapter 4 — After being divorced for half a year, the Respite Center calls me the baby's mother

Tong Vien's lips trembled visibly. Trieu Man immediately walked quickly.

“Miss Lam, this agreement has nothing to do with our center.”

I looked at her.

“So what about the accommodation contract?”

“Bring it here.”

Trieu Man replied:

“The original has been archived, currently not available here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the cleaning lady at the end of the hallway suddenly stopped walking. She looked at Trieu Man and then looked at me. Then quietly took out a brown file bag from the compartment under the cleaning car.

“The original file of room 8808… last night someone told me to throw it away.”

Trieu Man immediately rushed forward. But I was one step faster and took the file bag directly. She missed the shot into space.

“Lin Tri Ha, give it back to me.”

I tore the paper bag seal.

“You're in such a hurry…”

“Are you afraid that I will see it, or are you afraid that the police will see it?”

The cleaning lady bowed her head.

“Last night around nine thirty, manager Trieu took this bag of documents from the nurse's counter and told me to throw it away.”

"I saw there were identification papers inside so I didn't dare leave them."

Trieu Man turned his head and glared:

“You talk nonsense!”

I put the phone in front of the cleaning lady.

“Auntie, say it again.”

She tightened her grip on the cleaning cart handle.

“Last night at nine thirty, manager Trieu told me to throw it away.”

I immediately saved the recording. Then open the first page of the contract. Mother's name: Lam Tri Ha. The photocopy of ID... is the one I left at the Luc family's house before the divorce. Right at the corner of the paper there is still a red photocopy mark from that year's home loan application. It was Luc Canh Xuyen who took it out. I continued to flip down. Emergency contact person: Luc Canh Xuyen. The contract signing date was last month. But he and I have been divorced for half a year. I held up the contract in front of Trieu Man.

“Explain.”

“Last month Luc Canh Xuyen and I divorced.”

“So why is it still written as husband here?”

Trieu Man stubbornly replied:

“We will use whatever information customers provide. We cannot verify each item.”

"Okay."

I turned to the signature page. Customer in charge:

“Your name is here.”

“This… have you verified it?”

She immediately became speechless. Chu Que Lan held the baby up.

"Previously, Canh Xuyen was your husband. What's wrong with saying he's husband?"

I looked at her.

“That was true before.”

“But last month it was gone.”

“You want to use past relationships…”

“To shoulder the debt in the present.”

Chu Que Lan was choked up and immediately turned to the people watching.

“Everyone, judge!”

“Even though he was divorced, he used to be a member of the Luc family!”

“We just borrowed a few documents, so what's so important?”

I laughed. I turned to the last page of notes. 【Mother-in-law guarantees, daughter-in-law pays later.】 I read every word clearly. The chatter in the hallway immediately grew louder.

"This is not borrowed anymore, it's obvious that he forced his ex-wife to pay."

“If you get divorced and still use someone else's ID, that's really scary.”

Tong Vien held the door frame, his voice trembling:

“I really didn't know it would turn out like this… Canh Xuyen said she wouldn't care…”

I looked at her.

“When you moved in here…”

“Did you see the name on the contract?”

Tong Vien bowed his head. No reply. At that moment, at the end of the hallway, the ding sound of the elevator was heard. My phone also vibrated. 【Police have arrived downstairs at Duyet An Center, please keep in touch.】 The elevator door is open go out. The person who arrived first was Luc Canh Xuyen. His vest hadn't even been buttoned yet, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. The moment he saw the contract, his first reaction was not to look at the baby. It's not like looking at Tong Vien. But look at Trieu Man. I immediately took a photo of that reaction. Luc Canh Xuyen walked straight in front of me.

“Tri Ha, let's talk.”

I spread the contract out in front of him.

“Let's talk right here.”
