Chapter 3 — Hiding 500,000 Bonus, I Made My Husband Leave Empty
Even my lips are trembling.
“Chu Tinh... I..."
I turned to the phone and replied clearly:
“I'm at home right now.”
“Everyone just come over here.”
After hanging up. The whole world seemed to fall into silence. Tran Hao stood frozen in place like a statue. A long time later. He had just found his voice again.
“You want to sell the house?”
His voice was hoarse. I answered very calmly.
“Are you crazy?!”
He suddenly exploded like an angry animal.
"This is our house! What right do you have to sell it?"
“What rights?”
I laughed.
“Just because we ran out of money.”
“Your tuition must be paid next month.”
“The car loan is due in three days.”
“Is 20,000 yuan in your hand enough?”
I step closer to him.
“Ah that's not true.”
“Now there's only 5,000 yuan left.”
“I personally gave the remaining 15,000 yuan to my sister.”
I looked straight into his eyes. Each word rang out clearly.
“Tran Hao.”
“It was you who sold this house yourself.”
He was silenced by me. Couldn't say a word. His face changed from red to white, from white to blue.
"Impossible!"
He rushed forward and grabbed my arm.
"Absolutely not! I don't allow you to sell!"
“You have no right to decide.”
I forcefully pushed his hand away.
“The deposit for this house was paid by me before I got married.”
“On the certificate of ownership, there is only my name.”
“According to the law, I have the complete right to dispose of it.”
He was completely dumbfounded. Perhaps unexpectedly I had calculated everything in advance. Right at that moment. The doorbell rang. It's just the right time. Like a perfectly staged play. I walked over to open the door. Outside the door is Tieu Truong of the brokerage company. Next to him was a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously, looking like he had a lot of money.
“Miss Chu, this is General Manager Ly.”
I leaned to the side. I didn't turn my head to look at Tran Hao. But I can feel it. His two cold, murderous eyes... Still stuck firmly on my back. The broker and General Manager Ly entered the house. The atmosphere in the living room immediately became stuffy to the extreme. Tran Hao stood stiffly to one side. Looks like an outsider. A look of humiliation and indignation appeared on his face. As for me, I was calm as if nothing had happened. Led General Director Ly to tour each room.
“This is the master bedroom, facing south, with private bathroom.”
“This is my room, newly renovated two years ago, all using environmentally friendly materials.”
The more General Director Ly watched, the more satisfied he became. Continually nodding. Tran Hao followed behind. Like a shadow. He repeatedly wanted to interrupt the conversation.
“This corner of the wall used to be waterlogged...”
I immediately responded:
“Last year, the management team completely repaired it and added two more layers of waterproofing.”
“The glass door on the balcony is sometimes a bit stuck...”
I pulled the door open. Then close it. Smooth, smooth.
"Very good maintenance. I check the oil every week."
General Director Ly glanced at Tran Hao. There was a hint of laughter in his eyes as if he was watching a funny game. Tran Hao's face was sometimes red, sometimes white. Finally had to keep my mouth shut. After completing the tour. General Manager Ly and the broker sat down in the living room. I Pour water for them. And Tran Hao stood next to him. My hands were so awkward that I didn't know where to put them. General Director Ly is a very straightforward person.
“Miss Chu, I am very satisfied with this house.”
"Tieu Truong also told me that you need money urgently."
“I don't like beating around the bush.”
“2,100,000 yuan, one-time payment.”
“You can sign the contract tomorrow and make a deposit.”
This price is 200,000 yuan lower than the market price. But still within my estimate. I didn't hesitate at all.
“Closing the deal.”
Those two words. Like two nails. Close straight into Tran Hao's ear. He suddenly raised his head to look at me. Both eyes are bloodshot.
“Chu Tinh!”
I don't pay attention. Just reached out to shake hands with General Director Ly.
“General Manager Ly, happy cooperation.”
“Happy cooperation.”
Tieu Truong was overjoyed. Immediately begin preparing contract procedures. After seeing them off. The door just closed. Tran Hao's anger completely exploded.
"Chu Tinh! Are you crazy?!"
He threw a pillow onto the floor right next to my feet.
“2,100,000 yuan!”
“Are you really selling at that price?!”
“Do you know how much this house is worth now?”
“Are you selling the house or giving the money to someone else?!”
I bent down and picked up the pillow. Put it back on the sofa.
“What if it doesn't?”
I looked at him.
“Waiting for your mother and sister to drain this house before selling it?”
“At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it even for 1,000,000 yuan.”
He pointed at me. So angry that my whole body trembled.
“We are husband and wife!”
“It's such a big deal, why don't you discuss it with me?!”
“I already discussed it.”
“I told you that my year-end bonus is only 20,000 yuan.”
“There is no money left in the family to pay tuition.”
“There's also no money left to pay the car loan.”
“It was me who chose to give 15,000 yuan to my sister.”
