Chapter 10 — He Said The Marriage Certificate Was Fake, I Almost Laughed Out Loud

“That doesn't concern you anymore.” Luc Van Trung's voice turned slightly cold. "Since when did she and Phuong Dat Chu get involved with each other? While you were still washing clothes and cooking for him, she was rolling around on your bed."

“Don't pity her.”

I don't pity Lieu Man Ninh. I just felt — She thought she was the winner. Lieu Man Ninh once thought he had won. Stole my "husband". Pregnant with his child. At the wedding, he still stood in front of me, pompous and proud. But she didn't know... What she took away was just an empty corpse. A scammer. A criminal is about to be prosecuted. A man who is despised by the entire social network. And one company has begun to decline. I don't need to do anything. They collapsed on their own. The incident happened faster than I thought. Another week passed, Phuong Dat Chu finally learned something. Something that almost took his breath away.

— This city just had a lottery jackpot winner of 500,000,000 yuan.

This news actually appeared on local hot searches a few days ago. The winner's identity is absolutely confidential, only revealing that the winning ticket was sold in the Dong Thanh area. Dong Thanh. And our "home" - no, I should say Phuong Dat Chu's own "home" - is also located in Dong Thanh. As for the lottery store I often visit... Right on the corner of the street in front of the apartment complex gate. I don't know what his expression was like when Phuong Dat Chu thought through this matter. But his reaction… I know it very well. Because that night, at exactly eleven o'clock, my phone rang. It's not Phuong Dat Chu's number. Which is a strange number. I picked up the phone. Voice of Phuong Dat Chu. Change another number to call. The tone is completely different from before. Before it was angry, frustrated, threatening. And now — The most naked, primal kind of fear.

“On Le, I ask you something, please answer me truthfully.”

“That winning ticket of 500,000,000 yuan… is it yours?”

I leaned on the sofa, put my feet on the tea table, holding a glass of red wine in my hand. The heater in the house had just been turned on and was very warm, the living room lights were turned down to the darkest level. Extremely comfortable.

“Phuong Dat Chu.” My voice was very calm. “What do you think?”

"WELCOME! Don't beat around the bush with me! Is that you?!"

“I asked you, is it you?!”

“It's eleven o'clock at night, Mr. Phuong.”

“Calling and harassing single women in the middle of the night… is not very appropriate.”

"Good night."

I hung up. Then drag this number to the block list. Put the wine glass on the table. The corners of the lips could not be lowered. The next morning, Phuong Dat Chu did something stupid. Extremely stupid. He went to the other lottery store. Forcing the boss to reveal whether any woman recently came to buy a ticket and won a big prize. Of course the boss didn't say anything. Customer information security is a basic principle. But Phuong Dat Chu refused to give up. He stood guard outside the lottery store all day. On the third day, he thought of another way. He ran to the civil affairs department. What do you want to do? Want to add marriage certificate.

— As long as it can be proven that there was a legal marriage between him and Wen Li, then the 500,000,000 yuan ticket will be marital property.

He can get away with 250,000,000 yuan.

“Sir, there is no marriage registration information in the system between you and Ms. On Le.”

“No way! Please check again!”

“Sir, the nationwide integrated marriage registration system indeed has no relevant records. If you still have doubts, you can go through the legal route —”

“Then you guys add me a copy!”

“Sir, that is not according to procedure —”

“We've been married for ten years! Ten years! How can there be no records?!”

“Sir, please calm down…”

This entire scene was filmed by people present there. Post directly online.

“Concussion! The guy at the wedding said the marriage certificate was fake, so he turned around and ran to the civil affairs department to get a new one!

In the video, Phuong Dat Chu blushed, pointed his finger and shouted. Completely different from the man who was standing at the wedding a few weeks ago, smiling coldly and saying to me:

“You are nothing.”

The comment section is laughing hysterically —

"Ha ha ha ha before you said it was fake, now you want to make it real?"

“Tsk tsk, that's 500,000,000 yuan, who wouldn't be nervous?”

“Wait… the 500,000,000 yuan lottery ticket belongs to his ex-wife???”

“Is that the 'unregistered' wife that he said with his own mouth?”

"Damn, that's really a strong sarcasm... he said he wouldn't register his marriage, but his wife won 500 million..."

“I'm dying of laughter, what human tragedy is this?”

“Do you understand what it means to dig your own grave? This is it.”

“Everyone, look at his face… that expression… it's so regretful that it makes my stomach turn blue ha ha ha!”

I sat on the sofa scrolling through the comments and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Phuong Dat Chu. You yourself said the marriage certificate was fake. He said it himself. He said it himself. In front of hundreds of people. In front of dozens of cameras. In front of millions of netizens.
