He stared at the coffin in the corner. The coffin was moved by his own hand next to the cat's coffin. I looked at him, my voice cold without any emotion. "Pho Thua Chau, now do you dare to open the coffin and see for yourself who is inside?" The staff stepped forward and slowly opened the coffin lid. The white cloth was lifted. The moment he saw the face clearly in the coffin, all the strength in Pho Thua Chau's body seemed to be drained away. He staggered back a step, his lips trembling violently. "Mom..." "Mom!" He rushed forward like crazy, wanting to touch his mother-in-law's face. I immediately stopped him. "Don't touch her." Pho Thua Chau suddenly raised his head to look at me, his eyes red and scary. "Khuong Ninh, get away!" "That's my mother!" I looked at him, saying every word: "She was your mother, but she was also the person you killed." Pho Thua Chau's hand stiffened in mid-air. Looking at his mother-in-law's quiet, pale face, he finally let out an extremely suppressed cry. "Mom!" He knelt down in front of the coffin, wanting to hold his mother-in-law's hand. But that hand was cold. I will never again carefully adjust his collar like before. I will never stroke his head and say: "Thua Chau is successful, my life is worth it." I stood next to him, without any gloating in my heart. Only cold. Seeing that the situation was not good, Vuong Vy Vy finally panicked. She stepped back and frantically explained: "General Director Pho, I really don't know!" "Who told her to dress so poorly?" "Who told her to constantly praise Khuong Ninh?" "How do I know she is really your mother!" Pho Thua Chau suddenly turned his head, his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone. "Didn't you say the person in the pit was her mother?" Vuong Vy Vy also panicked. "Didn't you believe it yourself? "When you came back, I told you to look, didn't you also look?" "Finally, you said..." "Now that you know it's your mother, do you want to blame all the blame on me?" Pho Thua Chau's face turned pale. I took my mother's phone and opened the cloud camera backup she had just received outside the door. In the funeral room, my voice rang out amid the storm. "Pho Thua Chau, I repeat once again, the person who fell into the hole was not my mother, but your mother!" Immediately followed by Pho Thua Chau's cold, impatient voice: "Khuong Ninh, even if you lie, you have to make up something that sounds reasonable." "Your mother is traveling in France, how can she be at home?" The image changes scene. In the front yard of the villa, I knelt in the rain and begged him. "Deputy Thua Chau, I beg you, please save her first." "She is really about to not be able to bear it anymore." He bowed his head and looked at me, his voice cold. "Khuong Ninh, your current appearance is unsightly." The last call was when I used the landline to call him. "Deputy Thua Chau, the person is dead." "The security guards said your mother had been rescued. I still have a lot of work to do, can you study Vy Vy a little so I don't have to worry?" "One day, if you really curse your mother to die, don't come to me crying!" The recording ended. The eyes of everyone in the funeral room when they looked at Pho Thua Chau changed. Pho Thua Chau knelt in front of the coffin, his face as white as paper. I lowered my head to look at him. "I've said it many times." "You don't believe it." Deputy Thua Chau refused to accept reality. He knelt next to the coffin, both hands holding tightly to the edge of the coffin, constantly shaking his head. "No way, this is impossible." "Three days ago my mother texted me, saying she was having fun in France." I looked at him coldly. "That's my mother, afraid that you'd be worried, so she used the phone."

My mother-in-law's phone answered me." "Before she died, my mother-in-law begged her." "She said you were busy with work and couldn't let you know she hadn't even made a passport." Pho Thua Chau's throat felt like it was blocked by a block of blood. He suddenly raised his head to look at me. "So why didn't you tell me sooner?" I almost laughed out of anger. "Didn't I tell you? I said it on the phone." "After you returned, I also said it." "When I knelt in the rain to beg you, I still said it." "Pho Thua Chau, you are so lazy that you don't even want to look." The expression on his face gradually crumbled. Seeing him move, Vuong Vy Vy immediately cried: "General Manager Pho, don't listen to her!" "She did it on purpose!" "She knew clearly that it was your mother, yet don't take out her ID before!" "She just wants to see you regret!" I slowly turned my head to look at her. "Vuong Vy Vy, what are you in a hurry?" "The real evidence hasn't been released yet." My mother gave me the tablet. It was a cloud backup of the villa's security system. I opened the first paragraph. Before the storm came, my mother-in-law walked into the house carrying an old cloth bag. She was wearing a faded, washed jacket. wearing old canvas shoes, standing at the door smiling awkwardly. "Girl, I am Thua Chau's mother."
