Chapter 2 — Husband comes home from a business trip and blames me for not calling? I Laughed: "The person answering the phone is my girlfriend."

"To Tinh, listen to me! It's all fake! Someone framed me!"

He started talking incoherently.

"It's that bitch Bach Nguyet! She seduced you! She forced you to transfer all that money!"

He tries to push all the responsibility onto someone else. Like a drowning man desperately clinging to the last straw. I calmly watched him finish the drama. Wait for him to finish speaking. I slowly spoke up.

“Zhou Kaiming.”

“You think I put that much effort into investigating each of these things.”

“Do you still believe my lies?”

He suddenly raised his head to look at me. Only fear remained in his eyes.

“I... what else can I investigate?”

I smiled.

“I don't just know you transferred money to her.”

“I also know that she used that money to buy a large apartment in the west of the city.”

“On the documents, it's in her name alone.”

“I also know that she used the remaining money to open a company for her younger brother.”

“Ah, that's right.”

“The legal representative of that company... is you.”

“But you used a fake identity.”

“Zhou Kaiming.”

“What you touch is not just our common property.”

“Including 3,000,000 yuan, which you embezzled from the company's project fund.”

“What is this behavior called?”

“Appropriation of property while performing positions.”

“The amount of money is especially large.”

“Want me to help you find out... how many years in prison you will be sentenced to?”

Chu Khai Minh's pupils constricted violently. Cold sweat immediately soaked the back of my shirt. Only now did he truly understand. I'm not angry. It's not just about catching adultery. Wanting to corner him. He crawled and knelt in front of me. Both hands hugged my pants legs tightly.

"Tinh Tinh! You're wrong! You really know you're wrong!"

"Please forgive me this time! I don't dare anymore!"

"I will completely break off with her immediately! The money will also be taken back!"

"Can we not divorce? I can't treat you like that!"

He cried until tears ran down his nose. Completely different from the spirited man in my memories. I kicked his hand away in disgust.

"It's late."

Right at that moment. My phone rang. I looked at the screen. It was his mother calling. Zhou Kaiming also saw it. Like a drowning man grasping for a stake.

"Mom! It's my mother!"

"Tinh Tinh, please answer the phone quickly! Let me talk to your mother!"

I received the call. Also turn on the speakerphone. Immediately, the other end of the line rang out the high-pitched, sour voice of her mother-in-law.

"To Tinh! What do you mean?"

“My son just came back from a business trip, and you asked him to divorce?”

“Are you crazy?”

“I tell you, our Chu family does not have divorced men!”

“Don't be unreasonable!”

As soon as he heard his mother's voice, Chu Khai Minh felt like he had grasped the last straw to save his life. He rushed in front of the phone, screaming loudly.

"Mom! Save me! To Tinh wants to harm me!"

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Immediately after that, her voice became even more high-pitched and shrill.

"To Tinh! What have you done to my son?"

"You hen that doesn't know how to lay eggs! What's wrong with my family Khai Minh?"

“Five years of marriage and still no movement in my stomach!”

“It is already your destiny for the Chu family to let you step foot in the door!”

“And yet you still dare to bully my son?”

“There is news that I will tear you apart Are not?"

The mother-in-law's voice echoed throughout the quiet living room. Every single sentence. All filled with bitterness and curses. These words... I've been listening for five years. In the past, every time I heard it, I felt sorry for myself. Silently cry alone. But now... I just find it funny. I looked at Chu Khai Minh who was still kneeling on the ground. I heard my mother scold me severely. There was no trace of guilt on his face. On the contrary, there is a glimmer of hope. He still hopes his mother will be the same as the past five years. Yelled at me until I had to give in. Scolded me until I had to bow my head. I picked up the phone. Speak calmly into the receiver.

“Are you done talking yet?”

The other end of the line suddenly went silent. Maybe she didn't expect me to be so calm.

“If I'm done talking... then it's my turn.”

“First, today Chu Khai Minh and I will definitely divorce.”

"Second, he had an affair during the marriage, dispersed assets, and also raised a three-year-old stepchild."

“Third, he embezzled public funds in a particularly large amount. The evidence is complete. Prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison.”

I didn't give her a chance to react. Immediately hung up. The world is finally quiet. Chu Khai Minh rolled his eyes and looked at me. Maybe he never thought... A wife who is always patient like me, would dare to hang up his mother's phone call.

“You... you dare hang up my mother's phone?”

“You see.”

I stood up. Looking down at him from above.

“Up to this point, what I care about is still just that small thing.”

“Your biggest concern... isn't it the crime of embezzling public funds?”

His whole body trembled. It was like being dumped in a basin of ice water from head to toe.

“Tinh Tinh... no... wife... I beg you..."

He gave up the last bit of dignity. Hug my legs tightly.

“Respecting husband and wife for five years... please forgive me this time...”

“I will return all the money!”

“I will sell that apartment!”

“I will completely cut off with Bach Nguyet!”

“I can do whatever you want!”

"Couple?"
