Chapter 14 — After Menopause, I Found Out I Was Pregnant

"With this evidence, we completely take the initiative in court."

Lawyer Truong's words were like a tranquilizer, helping me feel much more secure.

“Lawyer Truong, my request is very simple.”

I said slowly.

“First, divorce as soon as possible.”

“Second, the right to raise Chu Khai's son belongs to me.”

“Third, property division.”

I paused for a moment then looked straight at her, saying every word clearly.

“The house we live in must belong to me.”

“The couple's joint savings, I want seventy percent.”

“The vehicles are in his name, company shares and other financial investments, I also want to split half.”

“In addition, I asked him to compensate him for mental damages of one million yuan.”

Upon hearing this, Ly Mai sitting next to her immediately nodded vigorously.

"Yes! That must be so!"

“That's still too good for him!”

Lawyer Truong gently pushed his glasses and calmly analyzed:

“Miss Qin, most of your requests are within the scope of the law.”

"The party having an affair is at fault, she is entitled to more assets than is reasonable."

"The house is in your name, and you are currently seriously ill, so the possibility of the court ruling against you is very high."

“It's just… seventy percent of the savings plus one million in emotional compensation might be a bit high.”

“When deciding, the court will consider the economic situation of both parties and the degree of fault.”

“But we can absolutely use it as a bargaining chip.”

I nodded.

"I get it."

“I don't really want his money.”

“I just want an attitude.”

“I want him to know… there is a price to pay for betrayal.”

Lawyer Truong looked at my determined eyes and seriously replied:

“Okay, I understand.”

“I will immediately prepare a lawsuit and an application to preserve assets.”

“Tomorrow morning we will submit it directly to the court.”

“We will help her document as quickly as possible.”

“Once the asset preservation application is approved, the court will immediately freeze all bank accounts, stocks and real estate in Chu Chi Minh's name.”

“At that time, even if he wanted to transfer assets, it would be too late.”

A spark of pleasure finally arose in my heart. Chu Chi Minh. Don't you like using money to solve everything? Don't you like using money to express your guilt? Then I'll let you taste what it's like to be empty-handed. After lawyer Truong left, Ly Mai remained with me. She looked at me, wanting to say it again.

“Trinh Tranh…”

Ly Mai hesitated for a moment then still spoke.

“And that Miss Manh Dao… how do you plan to handle it?”

“Just ignore her?”

When I mention that name, my heart still aches a little. That's the woman who destroyed my family. Saying you don't hate is a lie. I was silent for a long time. I raised my head to look at her.

“Whoever owes someone, that person pays.”

“Flies don't flock to uncracked eggs.”

“If Chu Chi Minh is a decent man, even a hundred Meng Dao cannot rob him.”

“The problem lies with him.”

“The person I want to deal with… is only him.”

“And that woman…”

“The baby in her womb is about to be born.”

"Whichever path she chooses, she will have to bear the consequences of that path in the future."

“I don't want to… nor bother hanging out with a girl who's not much older than my son.”

“Just making myself just too cheap.”

After listening to me, Ly Mai looked at me for a long time before sighing softly.

"Trinh Tranh... you've really grown up."

I laughed faintly. Once I had cancer. Once betrayed. Enough to make any woman grow up overnight. Or to be more precise... It means dying once, then being reborn. I picked up my phone and sent Chu Chi Minh the last text message. Do not use your phone number. Which uses a newly registered anonymous email account. I packed all of Manh Dao's photos, his pregnancy test papers, and his surgery records and sent them anonymously. Finally, I leave only one sentence.

“Chu Chi Minh, see you in court.”

After doing all that, I directly permanently deleted that email account. After the email was sent, the world suddenly became unusually quiet. Chu Chi Minh no longer went to the hospital. Also do not use any means to contact me. Even the regular payment of five hundred thousand yuan every day stopped. He received my "war letter". Right now he is definitely like a bird afraid of a bent branch, completely confused. He definitely didn't expect that his plan, which seemed to have no loopholes, was completely seen through by me. I can even imagine the unique look on his face when he saw those evidences. Terrifying. Then came the impotent anger. Just thinking about it is enough to make me taste a little pleasure of revenge amidst the pain of chemotherapy. Lawyer Truong's working speed is very fast. Two days later, the notice of acceptance of the case and the decision to preserve the court's assets were issued. All assets in Chu Chi Minh's name were frozen.
