Chapter 17 — Husband Secretly Transferred 880,000 Yuan, I Made His Whole Family Pay

The court favored me. I receive 70% of the value of the joint assets. And him. Almost left empty-handed. The day he walked out of court. The sun is brilliant. Golden sunlight covered the square. I took a deep breath. First time in a long time. Feeling relieved all over. Everything. It's all over. I sold that house filled with bad memories. Use that money. Buy a bigger apartment. In the city center. Is the house that truly belongs to me. I picked up my parents from the countryside. The day they moved in. I personally cooked a table full of dishes. Three people sat around the dinner table. My mother looked at me. Red eyes.

“My daughter has suffered.”

I smiled. Give her a piece of food.

“No mom.”

“The days of hardship are over.”

I looked at the lighted house. Look at your parents sitting in front of you. Look at the gentle sunset outside the window. Then smiled softly.

“Now…”

“The good life has just begun.” ❤

Life finally returns to peace. I put all my energy into my work. General Director Vuong valued me very much and assigned me to be in charge of an iconic project of the city. During that time, I was so busy that I was spinning like a shuttle, but also extremely satisfied. I feel like I've found the girl I was in college again — full of enthusiasm and dreams. On weekends, I will take my parents for a walk in the park or take them to visit the city that I have struggled for many years to be able to stand. Looking at the happy smiles on their faces, I feel like everything I went through was worth it. Occasionally, Truong Man still tells me some stories about the Chu family. Chu Duc Hai was probably hit too hard and completely collapsed. The business failed, the debt piled up, and in the end he had to sell his house in the countryside to pay off the debt and then quietly return to the countryside to live alone. After completing her re-education period, Bach Vy Vy disappeared without a trace, no one saw her again. As for the three people in prison, life is certainly not pleasant. Those things no longer concern me. The Chu family is like a malignant tumor in my life. I cut it off myself. Even though it left scars, it also helped me have a new life. Half a year later, my new house completed repairs. On the housewarming day, I invited many friends to celebrate, Truong Man was also present. We drank some wine and sat on a chair hanging out on the balcony to enjoy the breeze.

“Van Van, how do you feel now?” Truong Man asked.

I looked into the distance, where the city lights were shining brightly, and sincerely replied:

“It has never been better than now.”

“I feel like I'm really just starting to live for myself.”

“That's good.” Truong Man smiled.

“That's right, there's something I don't know if I should tell you or not.”

“What is so mysterious?”

Truong Man hesitated for a moment then took out an envelope from his bag and gave it to me.

"This is what Chu Minh Khai asked someone to bring out of the detention center. He specifically told me to deliver it to you."

“At first I was going to throw it away, but after thinking about it, I still think I should let you decide for yourself.”

I received the envelope. It's very thin. Do not include the sender's name. Inside there was only a sheet of paper. It is a medical examination result form from the hospital. The moment I saw the content above clearly, I was dumbfounded. It's a fertility test male fertility. The full name section clearly states: Chu Minh Khai. In the diagnostic conclusion, it is written: Test date was two years ago. My mind immediately went blank. Chu Minh Khai... Completely unable to have children? So the baby in Bach Vy Vy's womb... In a blink of an eye, I understood everything. From the beginning, Chu Minh Khai knew that the baby was not his! The reason why he cooperated with Bach Vy Vy to act out the play "my precious mother thanks me", even tacitly accepting that she was pregnant with someone else's child, was because he wanted to use this "fake grandchild" to reassure his parents, turning it into a bargaining chip with me. From beginning to end, he was taking advantage of that unborn child! An intense feeling of disgust and indignation rose in my heart. I thought I saw through Chu Minh Khai's shamelessness. Unexpectedly, his shamelessness knew no bounds. Even his own parents he can deceive and take advantage of. Even an innocent life that had not yet been born, he did not let go. I turned the paper over. There is also a handwritten note on the back. The handwriting was scribbled, full of desperation and madness. Tham Van, I have nothing left anymore. I also don't want to live in peace. I have prepared a big gift for you. A housewarming gift that I absolutely could not have expected. Just take it slow and enjoy it. I frowned. An uneasy feeling suddenly arose in my heart. What does he mean? What else can a person in prison do? At that moment, my phone rang. It's a strange international phone number. I pressed listen. A cold female voice immediately rang out on the other end of the line, carrying a smile.

“Tham Van, long time no see.”

“Are you very curious why I called you?”

“Don't rush.”

“I just wanted to let you know.”

“The game... has just begun.”

“What Chu Minh Khai can't give you…”

“I will give you double.”

The moment I heard that voice, my blood froze. I recognized that voice. Even though I've only heard it once. But I can't forget it for the rest of my life. It's the woman I met at the hospital. Bach Vy Vy. Bach Vy Vy? Why did she call me? Isn't she serving a domestic sentence? Countless questions rushed into my head at once. I tightened my grip on the phone. His back was soaked in a layer of cold sweat.

“What do you want to do anyway?”

My voice was hoarse with surprise. The other end of the line. Bach Vy Vy laughed softly. Laughter full of resentment and pleasure.

“I don't want to do anything.”

“I just wanted to ‘thank you’.”

“Thank you for helping me see clearly the true face of that useless guy Chu Minh Khai.”

“Thank you also for taking me to a very interesting place.”

“That place helped me meet some new friends.”
