Chapter 12 — Husband Takes Little Tam to Party, Big Screen Shows My 31 Million Yuan Project

Within a week, the Zhou family was completely divided into two factions. Chu Yen's side started looking for people. First, he told Tan Van Tinh to go to Due Hang Technology Group to "verify the situation", but was stopped by the receptionist, saying he could not enter without an appointment. After that, he asked his connections to find out who my lawyer was. As for Chu's mother, she changed tactics. From hard to soft. On the morning of the third day, she brought a bowl of red apple soup with snow mushrooms and placed it in front of me.

"To To, I said something a bit harsh before, don't take it to heart."

I still bow my head and eat breakfast.

"We're a family, there's no reason to stay overnight. Look, you and Chu Yen have lived together for so many years, there's nothing we can't get over..."

"Mom, you don't need to act in front of me."

Her face immediately stiffened.

"Who's acting? Mom honestly..."

"Chu Yen told mom to come talk, right?"

Chu's mother pursed her lips tightly and did not continue to speak. On the fifth day, Chu Dien suddenly returned. When he entered the house, he carried two bags of groceries, one bag of fruit and one bag of snacks.

"Sister-in-law, I bought it for you, including the blueberries you like to eat."

I raised my head from the sofa to look at him. In the past three years, the only thing he ever bought was a pair of headphones for himself that cost two thousand yuan, and that money was taken from the living expenses I managed.

"Chu Dien, if you have something to say, say it directly."

He scratched his head and sat down opposite me.

"Sister-in-law, I was really miserable before. You treated me so well, but every day I..."

"So I think the divorce thing... should you think again? We're right, but lately he's been reflecting on himself..."

"He told you to come."

"It's not that! It's me..."

"Who gave you money to buy those snacks and fruits today?"

Chu Dien immediately choked up.

"Your whole family." I stood up. "Can you stop treating me like a fool?"

I picked up the documents on the tea table, the draft divorce agreement that lawyer Luu sent me three days ago, then went straight to the bedroom and closed the door. Chu Dien stood outside the door for a while, then quietly left. On Friday, something truly unexpected happened. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang. I opened the door. Standing outside the door was a woman in her forties, wearing a dark blue suit and extremely delicate makeup. I don't know her.

"May I ask you..."

"Hello, I am Tan Van Tinh's mother."

The expression on my face definitely changed.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Nguyen." She smiled properly. "Can I come in and talk to you a few words?"

Tan Van Tinh's mother's family name is Ha. Mrs. Ha sat in my living room, sitting upright, holding the cup of tea I had just poured, looking around. I didn't sit but stood facing her.

"Mrs. Ha, why did you come to see me?"

She put down her teacup and looked up at me.

"Miss Nguyen, I'll be honest. I know what happened between my daughter and your husband."

"You know, but you still let her continue?"

"I stopped it." The smile on Ms. Ha's face faded a bit. "But Van Tinh has been very opinionated since childhood. She believes that her husband will soon become a free man."

I still stood still.

"But I didn't come today for that." Mrs. Ha raised her teacup again and took a sip. "I came to discuss a deal with you."

"What is there to trade between you and me?"

"Miss Nguyen, your 31 million yuan project, the project with Due Hang Technology Group." She smiled. "My husband is a second-level supplier of Due Hang. This world is not large."

I frowned slightly.

"What do you want to say?"

"I mean, if it's about divorce... you can be a little less harsh. For example, don't make that photo public, don't ask for compensation for mental damage or anything like that. We in the Qin family can guarantee that future cooperation between you and Due Hang will be extremely favorable."

I looked at her. Ms. Ha's smile was still very elegant, as if she were discussing a completely normal business deal.

"Opposite." She put down the teacup, her fingertips lightly tapping the rim of the cup. "If you make a big deal out of it, my husband's relationship with Due Hang is not too big, but it's not impossible to cause your cooperation to get into some trouble."

The living room was silent for five seconds. Then I burst out laughing.

"Aren't you ashamed that your daughter seduced someone else's husband?"

The smile on Ms. Ha's face immediately stiffened.

"You sat in my living room, using your husband's relationship to threaten me. What do you think this should be called?"

"I'm not threatening you." Her voice changed. "I'm just giving you a face-saving option."
