Chapter 11 — Husband Takes Little Tam to Party, Big Screen Shows My 31 Million Yuan Project

By the time I got home it was already half past eight in the evening. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a bright living room. Inside were not only Chu Yen and Chu's mother. There were three more people sitting on the sofa. Chu Hue is back. Next to her was a woman over fifty years old, covered in jewelry. I looked for a long time before realizing that it was Chu's mother's sister, Chu Yen's aunt, Trieu Thuy Phan. There was also a man in his forties, half his head bald, cross-legged scrolling on the phone, Trieu Thuy Phan's husband, Mr. Ngo. Really big show. I stood at the door for two seconds, then changed my shoes and walked in.

"To To is back." Trieu Thuy Phan was the first to speak, her face filled with a smile, "Come on, sit down. Today we as a family sit together and talk properly."

I sat down on the single sofa. Opposite are five people.

"Let me say it first." Trieu Thuy Phan patted her knee, "Today, everyone is not here to cause trouble. We just want everyone to sit down and negotiate properly. To To has the ability to win a big project of 31 million yuan. As elders like us, there's no time to be happy!"

"But..." She immediately changed her tone, "After all, you and Chu Yen are husband and wife. Husband and wife have money to spend together, happiness to enjoy together, right?"

I took a look at Chu Yen. He sat there without saying anything, but avoided my eyes.

"Aunt." I spoke up, "What do you want to say?"

Trieu Thuy Phan's smile stopped.

"What I mean is, shouldn't this money of yours be arranged a bit for the family? For example, your mother-in-law's old age pension, or should this house be changed to a bigger one, and then Tieu Dien's career..."

"What is Tieu Dien's career?"

"Doesn't he want to start a business? To open a personal media studio of some kind, the initial capital must be at least two or three hundred thousand yuan..."

I said nothing.

"As for my family and yours, people also worked hard to help. About the debt that year..."

"The debt is 600,000 yuan." I interrupted her, "I paid. Not a penny was missing. After paying, I never received even a word of thanks."

Trieu Thuy Phan was speechless. Chu's mother couldn't sit still anymore: "What do you mean by that! If our family hadn't accepted you that year..."

"Accept?"

That phrase was like a bullet shot straight into my chest.

"Mom." My voice was very light, "I married into this family, not to be accepted by this family."

"What's the difference? I married here for seven years, eat from this family, live in this house..."

"I cook the rice, I clean the house. Every month you give me the living expenses, I have never spent more than a penny. I iron your son's shirts, I buy you the blood pressure medicine, I also give you Chu Dien's living expenses."

I spoke one sentence at a time, not at a fast pace, but every word was clear. The atmosphere in the living room immediately changed. Chu Hue bowed his head. The smile on Trieu Thuy Phan's face could no longer be maintained. Mr. Ngo also put down the phone. Chu Yen finally spoke up.

"Nguyen To, calm down..."

"I'm very calm." I looked at him, "Chu Yen, I've never been this calm before."

"So tell me what to do?"

Those two words fell heavily. Chu's mother let out an "ah" sound and then jumped up. Trieu Thuy Phan opened her mouth to say something. Chu Hue also raised his head go up.

"What did you say?!" Chu's mother's voice immediately shrilled.

"I said divorce."

"If you have money, you want to run away, right?! Ungrateful thing!"

"Mom." Chu Yen reached out to hold her shoulder.

He looked at me, his face extremely ugly.

"Nguyen To, let's talk properly..."

"Okay." I said, "Then let's clarify a few things. First, I have to get that 600,000 yuan back. I still have the entire transfer history at that time."

"What?! It was my own will..."

"Second." I ignored Chu's mother and continued to say, "My and Chu Yen's common assets during our marriage will be divided according to the law. Third..."

I took out my phone, opened the photo and held it up in front of everyone.

"This matter, I need an explanation."

In the photo, Tan Van Tinh leans on Chu Yen's shoulder, their profile faces close together, intimate without any distance. Chu Yen's face immediately turned gray.

"Where...where did you get this picture from..."

"Is it important?"

Trieu Thuy Phan tilted her head to look at the photo, then quietly withdrew her eyes. Mr. Ngo bowed his head again and continued to play with his phone. Chu's mother stood in place, her lips trembling, unable to say a word for a long time. I put my phone away and stood up.

"My lawyer has already prepared. Everyone can discuss slowly."

I turned around and went into the bedroom and closed the door. Behind him, a series of chaotic whispers, arguments and the sound of chairs being moved were immediately heard. I leaned my back against the door and sat down. Heart beats very fast. But extremely sturdy.
