Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — He Said The Marriage Certificate Was Fake, I Almost Laughed Out Loud
Phuong Dat Chu's life is truly getting worse and worse. First is the company. Negative online opinion caused several of his important partners to temporarily suspend cooperation. Although the construction materials industry does not directly contact individual customers, no one wants to tie themselves up with a "famous guy on the internet". Next is the Lieu family. Lieu's father's attitude became increasingly cold. According to the news Luc Van Trung heard, Lieu Man Ninh returned to her mother's house twice, and each time she came out crying. Finally, there is Phuong's mother. The old woman used to hold her head high and throw her bank card in my face at the wedding... Now she quarrels with her son every day —
“Why didn't you clean it up before?!”
“Why do you have to show off at the wedding?!”
"Now it's good, the whole network knows you're involved in illegal activities, your job is about to die!"
"What do the Lieu family say? Man Ninh still has my grandson in her belly!"
This news was all revealed by a colleague of Phuong Dat Chu - who was previously a customer of Luc Van Trung, and coincidentally worked in the same company as him. Relationships are such useful things. It was the twelfth day since everything reached my ears. Phuong Dat Chu finally did something that was within my expectations. He went to the place. Not my new home — he doesn't know I've moved. He went to the old apartment complex and waited downstairs for a whole day but saw no one. Then start calling. Calling frantically.
“On Le, where have you moved to?”
"Which hotel are you staying at? Where did you get the money from the hotel?"
“Wen Li, we need to talk.”
“Can you pick up the phone?”
I directly switched his number to silent mode. Three days later. Phuong Dat Chu finally thought of someone. My new phone rang. The screen showed: I hesitated for a second then picked up the phone. My father's voice came from the other end of the line. A lot older. Carry an ingratiating reserve.
“Le Le... Dat Chu came home today.”
I didn't speak up.
"He said... there was a misunderstanding between the two of us. Tell Dad to advise you..."
“What did he say to Dad?”
“He said… said he drank too much on the wedding day, it was all drunken nonsense…”
“What do you think, Dad?”
The other end of the line was silent for a moment. My father sighed.
“Le Le… I know I'm sorry for you.”
"That year... it was my father who begged the Phuong family to let me marry Dat Chu..."
"Your mother passed away early, my father owed the Phuong family a sum of money and couldn't pay it back..."
"Dat Chu's mother said that if I marry there, my debt will be cleared..."
“I thought you would have a good life if you married him…”
“Unexpected…”
I interrupted him.
“How much did Dad owe the Phuong family that year?”
“How much money do you owe them?”
“… 150,000 yuan.”
150,000 yuan. I was sold for ten years. The price is 150,000 yuan. I closed my eyes.
“Dad, this stops here.”
“I will not reconcile with Phuong Dat Chu.”
“In the future, if he comes to look for you, dad, just say you don't know how to contact me.”
“I live very well now.”
“It's really good.”
“It will be even better later.”
“Dad, you don't need to worry about me.”
I hung up. Standing in front of the ground-level glass door of the new house, looking at the river in the distance. 150,000 yuan. That year, my father used 150,000 yuan to "marry" me to Phuong Dat Chu. Phuong Dat Chu used a fake marriage certificate to deceive me for ten years. Phuong's mother used 100,000 yuan to evict him I go. In their eyes, my value is only 250,000 yuan. I bowed my head and looked at my bank account balance. More than 340,000,000 yuan. After buying a house and spending some living expenses, there was still more than 340,000,000 yuan left. I'm worth 300 million. I'm worth a thousand times more than those people combined. The phone rang again. Luc Van Trung:
“On Le, big news!”
“The Lieu family has officially annulled the marriage.”
"This afternoon, through a lawyer, Lieu's father sent a letter to Phuong Dat Chu, saying that the Lieu family no longer recognizes this marriage, asking him to return the bride price and all wedding expenses."
“What about Liu Manning?”
"She had a huge argument with Phuong Dat Chu, and it was said that she smashed an entire wardrobe."
“Now I'm back at my mother's house.”
I was silent for a while.
“The baby in her belly…”
