Chapter 3 — After Divorce, I Made Tra Nam Bankrupt

Co Chinh Hoanh's face became unsightly to a level I had never seen before. It was as tense as the surface of a drum being squeezed tightly, the blue veins at the temples twitching slightly. He was used to controlling everything for many years in a high position, and perhaps never thought that one day he would be cornered by a daughter-in-law he considered insignificant like me. He stared at the agreement in my hand, his eyes as sharp as knives, as if wanting to pierce every piece of paper.

“This agreement…” His voice was hoarse.

"It's Co Trinh's handwritten signature." I continued calmly. "With a notarized stamp from a law office, every sentence and every word has legal effect."

I took back the agreement and placed it on the table behind me, moving slowly, not in a hurry. The mother-in-law only now regained consciousness, screamed and rushed to the agreement.

"Fake! It's definitely fake!"

"This slut dares to falsify documents! I will report you to the police!"

I took a step back, coldly looking at her crazy. But Co Chinh Hoanh suddenly reached out and held her wrist tightly. He shouted softly, his voice suppressed with anger.

“Isn't it embarrassing enough?”

The mother-in-law was stunned, tears immediately flowed from her eyes.

"Chinh Hoanh! Look at him! He's plotting against our Co family!"

“It didn't have good intentions from the beginning!”

Co Chinh Hoanh did not pay attention to her crying. His eyes once again fell on me, this time with deeper scrutiny, as if he wanted to look back at me from beginning to end. After a long time, he slowly spoke:

“What do you want?”

The voice had calmed down, but underneath that calmness was a fierce undercurrent.

“I wrote it very clearly in the divorce agreement.” I replied.

"Co Trinh left empty-handed, all common property after marriage belongs to me."

“No way!” Mother-in-law shouted again.

Co Chinh Hoanh's face also completely turned cold.

"Tu Nhien, as a human being, you should leave a way to retreat, we will meet again in the future."

“If you are determined to tear your face off, it won't do you any good.”

“Are you threatening me?” I laugh.

“You can understand that.” He didn't hide it at all.

"A divorced woman even offended the Co family. Do you think you can still stand firm in this city?"

“Your job, your relationships, your future, I can easily destroy.”

That is the way the Co family works. Both threatening and seducing, always standing high and looking down. It's just a shame that I'm no longer the girl I was three years ago, easily intimidated by them.

“Let's meet in court then.” I said softly.

“Let's see if the judge believes in Chairman Co's authority, or believes in the legal provisions clearly written on paper.”

“By the way, I also really want the media and the public to see.”

“A listed company president taught a son how to commit adultery in marriage and even try to transfer assets.”

“Do you think, by then, how many percent will your company's stock price fall?”

Co Chinh Hoanh's pupils shrank, the hand next to his body clenched into a fist. This was the first time I saw him lose control of his emotions like that. It turns out, no matter how powerful they are, humans always have weaknesses. The Co family's reputation, the company's interests, are his weaknesses ta. But I, just barely grasped it.

“I'm tired, please go home.”

I gave the order to evict the guests and raised my hand to close the door. But her mother-in-law immediately stopped her, her face contorted with anger.

"Don't leave! If you don't make it clear today, don't you dare close the door!"

"You ungrateful thing! The Co family raised you for three years, is that what you repay?"

I looked at her twisted face, cold as ice.

“Raise me?”

"You mean after I married into the Co family, I had to quit my job and wake up every morning at five o'clock to cook breakfast for the whole family?"

"Or is it because you always boss me around, not only criticizing the soup for being salty, but also criticizing the house for not being cleaned?"

"Or is it that every time you brag to the rich ladies, you always say that I have climbed high and only by virtue of my ancestors can I marry into your family?"

"Your so-called raising me is to treat me like an unpaid child. If you want to scold me, then scold me. Is it wrong if you want to be wrong?"

Every sentence I said was like a slap. The mother-in-law's face turned from red to white, her lips trembled, she could not utter a word. I put all my strength into pushing the door. Co Chinh Hoanh clearly did not expect me to be so tough, and was pushed back one step. I locked the door. The whole world is finally quiet again. I leaned my back against the door, my legs a bit weak. The toughness and calmness just now almost drained all my strength. But inside, I was relieved like never before. It turns out, daring to say the things that have been pent up for so long... is this feeling. Turns out, tearing off the obedient mask... was such a relief. Outside the door, there was still the sound of unwilling cursing and loud banging from my mother-in-law, but I didn't pay any attention. I picked up the phone and called the hotel reception directly:

"Hello, hello, there is someone causing trouble in front of my room. Please send two security guards to help deal with it."

That's right, lawyer Chu said, if they come to harass you, just call the police, or call security, it won't make any difference. The Co family was finally "invited" away by hotel security. I stood behind the cat's eye and looked out, clearly seeing their struggling appearance. Co Chinh Hoanh's face turned pale. Before leaving, he glanced deeply at my room's door, his eyes dark and cold. I know, this won't end that easily. But I'm not afraid either. Is someone who has nothing to lose still afraid of someone wearing shoes? I went back to bed and covered my head with the blanket. Fatigue came like a big wave, I needed a deep sleep to recover for the next battle. I set my phone to silent mode, but I could still feel it vibrating continuously under my pillow. You don't have to think to know that Co Trinh, probably after his parents ate the bitter fruit, came back and told him. I'm lazy to pay attention. This sleep lasted until dawn, and when I woke up, the light outside the window was on. Picked up the phone and saw dozens of missed calls, all from Co Trinh. In WeChat, his messages were as dense as bombs. The first news is still questionable:

"Tu Nhien, what do you mean? Are you looking for a lawyer to sue me?"

"You still dare to call security to chase my parents away? Are you crazy?"

"What is that agreement? You dare to plot against me?"

Seeing that I didn't answer, his tone began to become irritated:

“Call me back! Immediately!”

"What do you want to do? What's the use of making such a big deal out of it?" for you?”

Then, perhaps finally realizing the severity, his attitude gradually softened:

“Nien Nhien, I know you're still angry.”

“I was wrong about yesterday, I'm sorry.”

“Can I go home first? Let's go home and talk properly."

"Divorce is not a small thing, don't make fun of it."

Seeing the word "joke", I burst into cold laughter. In his eyes, everything I did was nothing more than an absurd act of chaos. I don't reply to any messages. I opened the friends section, blocked all Co Trinh and his relatives, then scrolled down and saw that Trieu Khai, his other close friend, had just posted a post. Posted half an hour ago. The photo was taken in a bar, in the photo Co Trinh is holding a bottle of wine, tilting his head back to drink, his eyes are bloodshot, and his face is bored. Trieu Khai's caption was: "Suffering from love, you guys are really tired." Below are a series of comments from their friends.

“What's wrong with Mr. Trinh? Arguing with your sister-in-law?

“Sigh, women are really troublesome.”

“I heard that Chu Ky made a fuss at the wedding yesterday.”

Very quickly, Hua Vi also appeared in the comments section. She just sent a crying emoji. But it makes more people speculate and comfort him.

“Vi Vi, don't cry, this is not your fault.”

"That's right, Trinh has you in his heart, everyone knows that."

“There are people taking up space and not doing anything, they should go away soon.”

Every sentence, every word, is referring to me. Pushing me into an unreasonable jealous, obnoxious and obnoxious person, while Hua Vi became an innocent white lotus flower that was implicated. Without expression, I took a screenshot of the entire screen and sent it to lawyer Chu.
