Chapter 3
Chapter 3 — Husband comes home from a business trip and blames me for not calling? I Laughed: "The person answering the phone is my girlfriend."
I lowered my head to look at him.
“Zhou Kaiming.”
“Since the day I knew you had another family outside…”
“Then we are no longer husband and wife.”
“Do you know what I've been doing for the past fifteen days?”
“I'm waiting for you to return.”
“At the same time, it also gives my legal team enough time to collect evidence.”
“The team of lawyers?”
He bewilderedly repeated those four words.
“Where will you get the money to hire a team of lawyers?”
He understands my financial situation very well. I don't have a job. All expenses are based on the living allowance he gives each month. That amount of money is just enough to maintain a decent life. Wanting to hire a whole team of lawyers... It's a fantasy.
“I forgot to tell you.”
I withdrew my legs from his arms. Slowly walked to the window and pulled the thick curtain aside. Sunlight immediately flooded in. Strangely dazzling.
“It's true that I don't have much money.”
“But my dad does.”
Chu Khai Minh was still kneeling on the ground, looking up at me. Only a confused look remained on his face.
"Isn't your dad just a high school teacher in the countryside? He retired a long time ago..."
That's the identity I once told him. It's also what he has always believed in for many years.
“That was before.”
I calmly replied.
“And now…”
“He is the Chairman of Thinh Nguyen Group.”
“To Chan Bang.”
Thinh Nguyen Group. It was like a thunderclap rang out in Chu Khai Minh's head. Thinh Nguyen Group. The city's largest commercial empire. Activities range from real estate, finance to technology. For a small company like the one where Chu Khai Minh works... It's an existence that can only be looked up and tried to please. He once dreamed of collaborating with Thinh Nguyen. Just a while ago. His company had to work very hard to win a processing contract from a subsidiary of Thinh Nguyen Group. He even bragged about it to me for a long time. Says that it was the biggest turning point in his career. His face was once again pale. Lips move continuously. But couldn't utter a word. He suddenly remembered many things in his mind. The day we got married. I paid for the wedding house once and brought it out. I once said... That's my parents' entire life savings. The time his company encountered a crisis. The money I gave him was to help him overcome difficulties. I also said... That's my own money that I secretly saved for many years. From beginning to end, he always thought that I was just a woman from an ordinary background, with a slightly better-off family than others. He never doubted. Because from the way I dress to my spending... It's all very different from the image of a wealthy young lady in his mind. He looked at me. In his eyes, in addition to fear... There was also a deeper emotion. It's regret. It's an overwhelming regret when I finally realize... What I've lost in the end. Right at that moment. The doorbell suddenly rang loudly. Accompanied by the sound of my mother-in-law banging on the door and screaming.
"Open the door! To Tinh! That bitch, open the door for me!"
Chu Khai Minh seemed to wake up from a coma. He quickly got up and rushed straight to the door.
“Don't open the door!”
He spread his body right in front of the door, constantly shaking his head at me.
"Love Love! I beg you!"
“Don't let it Your mother is coming in!”
“It's between the two of us... let the two of us solve it ourselves!”
He's really scared. He knew... Once his mother broke into chaos. Things will only become more irreversible. Unfortunately... It's too late. I calmly pressed the unlock button on the doorbell screen. The door opened. My mother-in-law and father-in-law, who always followed her. Like two angry lions. Aggressively rushed straight into the house. The first thing my mother-in-law did after breaking into the house... was rushing straight towards me. Both hands were raised high, sharp nails as if they wanted to scratch my face.
“This vixen! How dare you harm my son!”
Chu Khai Minh shouted in panic, intending to run to stop him. But he was still kneeling on the ground. Even if you want to stop it, there's no time. I didn't move at all. Just looked at her coldly. Just when those nails were about to touch my face. An arm suddenly reached out from the side. Tightly grabbed her wrist. It's my father-in-law. From the moment he entered, he remained silent. But right now... There was no anger left on that face. There was only a heavy horror that could not be hidden. He growled softly at my mother-in-law. The hand clasped was surprisingly strong. It hurt so much, she immediately screamed.
“Zhu Jianjun! What are you doing?”
“Are you defending outsiders to bully me?”
“He wants to put our son in jail! Didn't you hear that?
My father-in-law never looked at her.
