Chapter 7 — After Divorce, I Made the Chu Family Pay the Price

I looked at Chu Hao. Look at his confident expression. The last remaining heat in my heart completely disappeared. I laughed.

“Professor Vuong?”

“Chu Hao, are you sure?”

“Are you sure Professor Vuong introduced me?”

Chu Hao was stunned when I asked him.

“I... of course.”

“It's him.”

I nodded.

“If you say so.”

I took out my phone. Click to make a phone call. Then turn on speakerphone. The phone rang two times and then connected. A gentle, polite male voice rang out.

“Hello, Hua Tinh?”

“It's me, Director Tran.”

Director Tran. Human resources director of our company. Also the person who directly interviewed for the final round when I joined the job.

“Director Tran, sorry for bothering you this late.”

“I want to confirm something.”

“When you joined the company, who was the person who introduced you?”

The other end of the line burst into laughter.

“Why do you suddenly ask this?”

“I remember it very clearly.”

“It's Professor Ly Tuyet Mai at your university.”

“She herself wrote a letter of recommendation for me.”

“She said you were one of the most capable and hardworking students she had ever coached.”

“She also said, if our company misses you, it will be our loss.”

"And the truth has proven that Professor Ly's eye for people is not wrong."

My voice is still very calm.

“So do you know a professor named Vuong Khai Nien?”

Director Tran thought for a moment.

“Wang Kainian?”

“Seems like I've heard it before.”

“You're the one who teaches marketing majors, right?”

“I'm not very familiar with them, and I've never worked with them before.”

“Is something wrong?”

"Nothing."

I hung up. The entire living room immediately fell into dead silence. Vuong Cam's face was as red as pig liver. As for Chu Hao's face, it was more unsightly than a dead person. He looked at me. Lips trembling. Couldn't utter a word. I looked at him. Say each word slowly.

“Professor Ly Tuyet Mai is my graduation instructor.”

“She loves me very much, and has always kept in touch over the years.”

“I was the one who called and asked her to write a letter of recommendation.”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

“It has nothing to do with Vuong Khai Nien.”

“Your so-called help.”

“It's just a lie to paint yourself a face.”

“You didn't just lie to me for three years.”

“It's even so deceitful that you even believe it's true.”

I stopped for a moment. Look at his pale face.

“Today I can sit in the position of department head.”

“It's thanks to two consecutive years of being at the top of the entire department in terms of achievement.”

“It's because I signed three S-class customers that even your department couldn't handle.”

“It was thanks to me leading the team to stay up countless nights working on the project.”

“All of that.”

“Does it have anything to do with Mr. Chu Hao or the Chu family?”

Every word I say. It's all like a knife. Peel off every layer of false mask on his body. Crushing the pitiful bit of self-esteem he always clung to. Chu Hao's body staggered slightly. He looked at me. Eyes filled with fear. It was like this was the first time he really got to know me. See the situation is not good. Vuong Cam immediately changed his face. She rushed forward. Hug my legs tightly. Then started crying.

"Tinh Tinh! Mom was wrong!"

“Confused old mother!”

“Mom talks nonsense!”

“Child Don't divorce Chu Hao!"

“If you two divorce, how will our family live!”

Listen here. My heart suddenly sank. I suddenly realized. The real reason why they don't want to divorce. Maybe even dirtier than I thought. I looked at her. Coldly asked:

“What does how you live have to do with me?”

Vuong Cam cried even more fiercely.

“Why does it have nothing to do with you!”

“Your younger brother Zhou Wei doesn't have a job yet!”

"Your sister's son will enter elementary school next year, and she's still counting on him to get into the city's key schools thanks to his connections!"

“And your father!”

“Last month he was found to have kidney failure!”

“Every week I have to have dialysis!”

“Everyone needs money!”

“Relying on Chu Hao alone, how can you support this house!”

“You can't go!”

“Definitely don't go!”

Those words were like a basin of ice water. Pouring from the top of my head down to the soles of my feet. I understand now. I'm not their family member. I'm just a cow of their family. A cow that knows how to make money. Know how to work. They can also continuously give blood transfusions to feed their entire family. This cow wants to leave. How can they agree? I looked at every greedy and ugly face before my eyes. Then burst out laughing.

“So today's Hongmen Banquet.”

“It's not because of Zhou Wei's work.”

“But wanted to tell me.”

“Your house has a bottomless pit.”

“Are you waiting for me to use my money and my life to fill it?”

Vuong Cam stopped crying. She raised her head. In his eyes was a natural cruelty.

“Hua Tinh, if you marry Chu Hao, you are from the Chu family.”

“The Chu family's matter is also your matter.”

“Want to erase your relationship with us?”

“Unless you die.”

Unless she dies. Those four words came out of Vuong Cam's mouth. Dark and creepy. Like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue. The air in the living room also seemed to cool a bit. Chu Le stepped forward. Pull my hand. Start to sound emotional.

“Sister-in-law, you know my mother too.”

“It's just the mouth of a dagger but the insides of tofu.”

“My father is seriously ill, that's why she's so frantic.”

“We are one family.”

"If a family member has any difficulties, they can shoulder them together."
