Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — Husband comes home from a business trip and blames me for not calling? I Laughed: "The person answering the phone is my girlfriend."
The eyes just stared at me. Lips trembling.
“Love Love…”
He called my name. Hoarse voice.
“If you have anything, say it slowly.”
"We're all family, don't push things to the end."
“Khai Minh was just temporarily confused.”
“Give it one more chance.”
He began to use emotions to persuade. He used his position as a superior to put pressure on me. It's a game they've been playing for the past five years. Someone who plays the evil role. A person who plays a gentle role. First, use curse words to erode my will. Then he put on his "wanting the best for the child" expression to force me to give in. Unfortunately... Now, that trick no longer works.
“One person?”
I repeat those four words. Just find it extremely ironic.
“Last time at the card room in the south of the city, dad lost 300,000 yuan.”
“It happened last week too.”
My father-in-law's face immediately changed. Even whiter than Zhou Kaiming. The loud crying of the mother-in-law also suddenly stopped. She turned to look at her husband in disbelief.
“300,000 yuan?”
“Where do you get the money to gamble?”
My father-in-law did not respond. He just looked at me. His eyes were filled with fear. As if seeing a devil.
“How...how do you know that?”
“I don't just know that dad lost money.”
I walked in front of him. The voice is not loud. But every word is clear.
“I also know that the person who gave my father a loan at high interest is named Long brother.”
"The mother's interest is the child's interest."
“By now it has become 800,000 yuan.”
“They gave us an ultimatum.”
“If Dad doesn't pay in full today…”
“They'll take one of Dad's legs.”
“What I said... is that right?”
My father-in-law's body began to tremble. He had to hold on to the wall to stand. Cold sweat kept flowing along my temples.
“I already paid for dad.”
I gently let out a sentence. He immediately raised his head. His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. My mother-in-law was also stunned. Chu Khai Minh couldn't believe his ears.
“Why... why did you...”
My father-in-law asked with a trembling voice.
“Why…”
I smiled slightly.
“Just like dad said.”
“We are one family.”
“Being a family member…”
“You have to be neat and tidy.”
“Dad's debt.”
“I paid.”
“And the debt your son owes me…”
“It's time to pay.”
“Pay with what…”
“You choose yourself.”
“It's using the remaining half of his life.”
“Or use one of Dad's legs.”
I just finished speaking. Ding dong... The doorbell rang again. My father-in-law's whole body trembled like a leaf. He thought... Long brother's men had arrived. I looked at his face, white with fear. Smiling softly.
“Don't be afraid, dad.”
“I'm not here to collect debt.”
“But I came to give you a gift.”
I stepped forward. Standing outside the door were not a group of gangsters with fierce faces. It was a middle-aged man wearing a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Behind him were two young men who looked extremely agile and professional. Just saw me. All three bowed simultaneously.
“Eldest lady.”
“Eldest lady.”
Those two sounds. The clarity echoed throughout the living room. Zhou Kaiming and his parents... They were both stunned. The three people looked blankly at the man standing outside the door. Look at his respectful attitude towards me again. I know this person. His name is Vuong Lap. My father's chief lawyer. Copper Formerly the head of the legal department of Thinh Nguyen Group. In the business world... That's a name enough to make competitors wary. Vuong Lap did not bother to glance at the three members of the Chu family. In his eyes. They are like air. He walked straight in front of me. Hand me a file that's even thicker than the last one.
“Eldest lady.”
“Everything you asked for... has been prepared.”
I nodded slightly and received the file.
“It's been hard for lawyer Vuong.”
“That is my responsibility.”
Vuong Lap bowed slightly. Until then. His eyes fell on Chu Khai Minh for the first time. Doesn't carry any heat. It's like looking at an inanimate object.
