Chapter 3 — After Divorce, My Father Immediately Withdrawed 30 Billion Yuan, My Ex-Husband Went Bankrupt After Just Two Weeks

I was stunned. My mind feels like a bee is buzzing. Property? Is the legal representative the mother?

"Second, Luc Thi Real Estate looks very prosperous on the outside, but inside it has been empty for a long time. The project they are negotiating recently, the project is advertised to help them list and mobilize 3,000,000,000 yuan, the main capital actually comes from the strategic investment poured in by the offshore company under our group through many intermediaries. That investment accounts for more than ninety percent of the total capital of the entire group. project.”

He paused for a moment then continued:

“The total amount is about 30,000,000,000 yuan.”

I opened my mouth but couldn't say a word.

“The phone call just now... The word 'Thu' that dad said was the order to freeze all 30,000,000,000 yuan.”

30,000,000,000 yuan. That number was like an invisible thunderbolt exploding in my head.

“Dad... what exactly do you do?”

Dad leaned back in his chair, his expression calm as if he was just talking about today's weather.

"Dinh Thinh Capital. Have you ever heard of it?"

Of course I know. At home, Luc Canh Dien mentioned this name many times. He said Dinh Thinh Capital is one of the most mysterious investment organizations in the country, almost never appearing in public but holding the core resources of dozens of industries. He also boasted that he had to rely on many connections to connect with a sub-fund under Dinh Thinh Capital, thereby obtaining startup capital for the real estate project. Every time he mentioned it, his eyes lit up like a gold digger who had just found the entrance to a gold mine.

“The actual controller of Dinh Thinh Capital…” Dad looked at me and then slowly said: “It's me.”

My whole body stiffened in the chair. Cannot move.

“There's one more thing.”

Dad opened the computer and turned the screen towards me.

"The company under my mother's name is Shulan Holdings. There are six subsidiaries under it, operating in the fields of new energy, semiconductor chip packaging and testing, cross-border e-commerce and high-tech manufacturing. Last year, the total revenue reached 9,200,000,000 yuan."

I looked at the rows of numbers on the screen. The shareholding plan spreads out like a giant tree trunk, on each branch is the name of the legal representative. A lot of names I've never heard of, but at the top there's only one name. Ly Thuc Lan. That's my mother.

“Why didn't your parents ever tell you?”

My voice was hoarse. Dad was silent for a few seconds then slowly replied:

"Because I was afraid that you would become arrogant, I was also afraid that it would bring trouble. Since you were little, Mom and Dad agreed to give you a normal growing up environment, letting you rely on yourself. You are very good, from childhood to adulthood you have never disappointed us. The only thing I regret is that that year I did not stop you from marrying into the Luc family."

“So why did your parents invest in Luc Thi?”

“It's not a private investment for them.”

Dad shook his head.

"Dinh Thinh Capital's investment fund is very large, Luc Thi is just one of many projects. But they have no idea where the money comes from. In the middle there are six shell companies. In their eyes, the investor is just a fund from Singapore."

He looked at me, his tone still calm.

“Now... that fund has withdrawn its capital.”

“What happens after withdrawing capital?”

“Three projects under construction of Bat Luc Thi real estate will stop all at once. The listing application will be cancelled. The credit limit agreed with four banks will also be frozen because it cannot pass the capital source review stage. Their current cash flow... can only last two weeks at most.”

Dad closed the computer.

“Two weeks later... the Luc family will completely collapse.”

That night, I stayed awake. Lying in the room that my parents had prepared for me, I looked at the brand new bed sheet and the pillowcase that still had the faint scent of laundry detergent. On the bedside table is a cup of warm water, next to a note with mother's handwriting:

"I've already cooked porridge in the morning. There's no need to get up early. Let's sleep a little longer."

I lay looking at the ceiling, slowly recalling everything that had happened in the past three years. The first day I stepped into the Luc family, Trieu Le Phan told me to call her "mother", but never really treated me as a daughter. She forced me to learn how to cook because she said the Luc family was very picky about their tastes. She also told me to quit my job, saying that if Ms. Luc worked outside every day, she wouldn't be able to do anything. I refused to rest, so she kept hinting for half a year. She once arbitrarily opened my parcel, criticizing the cosmetics I bought for being too cheap, embarrassing the Luc family. Every time she introduced me in front of relatives, she said:

“This is Canh Dien's little wife. She's very honest, it's just that her family conditions are a bit normal."

What about Luc Canh Dien? The first year after marriage, he was still gentle. Buy me breakfast in the morning. Take a walk with me in the evening. Every time his mother tried to retort, he still stood up to make peace. By his second year, he was starting to get busy.

"Be social" gradually becomes a familiar answer.

In the third year... He was too lazy to even think about the reason. The phone is always locked with a password. The lipstick mark on the shirt didn't even bother to hide it. Every time he comes home, the first thing he does is frown when he sees me, as if I were just an unnecessary piece of furniture in his life. After Chu Uyen Thanh appeared, everything collapsed faster. She proactively added a WeChat friend to me, sending a friendly message:

"Sister To Niem, Canh Dien told me to call you sister-in-law, but I think calling you will be closer. Let's go have afternoon tea together someday."

Attached is a photo of her and Luc Canh Dien taken together in a high-end restaurant. He laughed very happily. That smile... I haven't seen it on his face for a long time. I don't answer. Not long after, she texted again:

"This restaurant Canh Dien said you've been to before, right? He said she wasn't used to eating Western food. Next time I'll teach you."

That is the restaurant that Luc Canh Dien and I went to on our wedding anniversary. I put down the phone. Then quietly went to the kitchen to cook the pot of flower chicken soup that Trieu Le Phan had specifically indicated that he wanted to eat. When I brought up the soup, Trieu Le Phan was making a video call. On the phone screen is Chu Uyen Thanh's delicately made-up face. As soon as she saw me, Trieu Le Phan immediately turned her phone upside down.

“What are you doing? Put it down and go, go. I'm busy."

I put down the bowl of soup and turned to leave. Behind her, Trieu Le Phan's voice continued to call, mixed with Chu Uyen Thanh's laughter as clear as silver bells. At that moment... I knew This marriage will eventually end. It's only a matter of time. What I need to do... Just wait. Wait for them to proactively open their mouths. Only then... I can leave cleanly. The next morning, I was awakened by the aroma of food. When I went downstairs, my father had gone out early. There was a piece of paper left on the table:

"Dad has a meeting this morning. He'll be home at noon. Your mom made onion cakes that you like."

Mom is in the kitchen. The apron was covered in flour. Seeing me coming down, her eyes curled up with a smile.

"Let's try it. It's been a long time since I've made it again. I don't know if the skills will be any better."
