Chapter 1 — After Divorce, My Father Immediately Withdrawed 30 Billion Yuan, My Ex-Husband Went Bankrupt After Just Two Weeks

The day Luc Canh Dien and I divorced, he held his mistress tightly in his arms, and his mother laughed so much that the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, constantly urging me to sign quickly, so as not to miss the family's flight to Tokyo to celebrate. I calmly signed the divorce papers, then walked to my father, who was still waiting at the door. I said softly:

“Dad, I'm divorced.”

Dad looked at me, then glanced at the happy back of the Luc family in the distance, then said just one word into the phone: Only later did I know, the moment those words were uttered, the entire cash flow of Luc Thi Real Estate Group in circulation, along with the amounts about to be disbursed, totaling more than 30,000,000,000 yuan, were simultaneously blocked. At that time, my ex-husband's happy family was still sitting in the VIP waiting room at the airport, dreamily imagining the bright lights of the Ginza area. My name is To Niem, twenty-seven years old this year. When Luc Canh Dien and I walked out of the Civil Affairs Department, the clock had just struck 3:21 pm on April 8, 2025. The weather that day was very beautiful. The sunlight was so intense that it made my eyes sting. Luc Canh Dien didn't bother to look at me. He was busy on the phone, his tone couldn't hide his triumph.

"Yes, it's done. Mom, don't worry, everything went smoothly. She didn't ask for anything more... Yes, okay, everyone just wait at the airport, we'll be there soon."

When he hung up, he suddenly remembered that I was still standing next to him. He turned around, a look of guilt on his face that was so superficial it was fake.

"To Niem, I'm very sorry when it comes to this step."

His finger unconsciously rotated his ring finger. That place is now empty. Perhaps he threw away the wedding ring right from the day he decided to divorce.

"But you already know that love cannot be forced. I wish you happiness in the future."

The woman standing next to him is named Chu Uyen Thanh. She very naturally took Luc Canh Dien's arm and smiled at me. That smile was a mixture of victory and pity.

"To Niem, thank you for helping us. Canh Dien had no other choice. He said that only when he is with me will he know what true love is."

"Don't worry, we have packed all your belongings and left them in your previous apartment. I have sent the address to your phone."

My belongings. Three years as a wife. I live in a house named after Luc Canh Dien, with the vain name "Mrs. Luc". On the day of the divorce, all the things that truly belonged to me could only be packed into a small truck that could be transported to a rented room that cost 3,000 yuan a month. At that time, Luc Canh Dien's mother, also my ex-mother-in-law, Trieu Le Phan, stomped on her high heels and ran over. The joy on her face could barely be hidden. She didn't even bother to look at me, just turned to urge her son:

"What are you still standing there for? Your father and Uyen Thanh's parents are waiting impatiently at the airport! Hurry up, you'll miss your flight. Kaiseki restaurant tonight will be difficult to book!"

After speaking, she seemed to give me alms with a look and her tone was extremely relieved.

"Tieu To, I'm not talking about you. After all, we were once husband and wife, so breaking up peacefully is best."

"Canh Dien's family is kind, I've had an unstable job these past few years, I haven't earned much money to support my family, and I haven't Calculate with your child.”

“You should also be a little more reasonable. Don't contact me again in the future, otherwise Uyen Thanh will feel unhappy."

I quietly listened to every word. The fingers hanging next to the body tightened slightly, then slowly relaxed. The past three years... I've heard words like this too much. Since the day I married into the Luc family, Trieu Le Phan has always reminded me that... I am a climber. Luc Thi real estate's annual revenue reaches hundreds of millions of yuan. Luc Canh Dien is an elite student who returned from studying abroad. As for me, To Niem, I just graduated from an ordinary university and work as an administrative officer for a small company with a salary of 8,000 yuan a month. In their eyes, my parents are just people with "no bravery". Being able to marry into the Luc family is because my ancestors accumulated virtue, because Luc Canh Dien "valued feelings" and "did not discriminate between subjects". So I have to be grateful. You must bow your head in humility. Must shoulder all the housework. Must listen closely to Trieu Le Phan's words. Must try to integrate into the so-called "upper class" of their family. However, in that circle, I will forever be just a faint background. In their mouths, I'm just...

"Canh Dien's wife, who doesn't stand out."

Initially, Luc Canh Dien even stood up and said a few words for me. Later, he gradually got used to it. Even every time his mother criticized my cooking, sometimes it was salty and sometimes bland, he nodded in agreement.

“Mom, you're right. Niem Niem, you should learn more about this.”

Later... At a business party, he met Chu Uyen Thanh, who had just returned from abroad. The Chu family sells medical equipment. She is the only daughter in the family, and her background matches Luc Canh Dien's. Everything just happened naturally. The time he comes home is getting later and later. The scent of perfume on my body also changed to a different scent. My patience is getting less and less. Trieu Le Phan started continuously praising Chu Uyen Thanh in front of me. This is a good family background. Highly educated. Skillful in dealing with people. In every sentence and every word, she implicitly implied that... I am not worthy to stand next to Luc Canh Dien. The last mask to be torn off was three months ago. Under the pillow in the bedroom, I discovered an earring that didn't belong to me. Along with that is an intimate photo that Chu Uyen Thanh intentionally left behind. I took the photo to question Luc Canh Dien. He just glanced at it. No panic. Just seemed calm as if he had just been liberated.

“To Niem, if you have seen it, I won't hide it anymore.”

“I love Uyen Thanh.”

“Let's get a divorce.”

“The house is my pre-marital property, as is the car.”

"The savings in the house... we've spent a lot in the past three years, so there's not much left."

“I know you are at a disadvantage. This way, I'll compensate you 100,000 yuan. I took that money and found another place to start again.”

100,000 yuan. That was the price he used to buy off three years of marriage... Along with all my sincerity. I don't cry. Don't make a fuss either. Just found it ridiculous. A cold feeling crept from deep into my bones.

“I'm divorced.”

"You can keep the money, I don't need it."

On the contrary, he was stunned. Maybe he thought I would get involved and not let go. Will cried and begged him not to leave. Seeing that I agreed to stop As decisively as that, a deeper look of disgust appeared in his eyes. It seemed he was even more convinced... I never truly loved him.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't make it any longer."

“Tomorrow I will have the lawyer draw up an agreement.”
