Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — Husband Takes Tieu Tam to Duc, I Immediately Lock 2.9 Million Yuan of Joint Account
The next morning, Tham Nghien Chu woke up very early. He was clean-shaven and wearing the suit I had stayed up late ironing the night before. Ma Ngoc Cam personally boiled two eggs and stuffed them into his son's hands.
"Remember to report peace when you arrive."
“Don't be mean to yourself.”
"If you're short on money, just tell Tri Ha."
“As a wife, you inherently have to support your husband.”
Tham Nghien Chu nodded.
“I know, mom.”
Ma Ngoc Cam turned to look at me.
“Hear that?”
I was bowing my head and labeling each suitcase.
“I heard.”
Seeing me so calm, she started to feel uncomfortable again.
“What's with that funeral face?”
“Nghien Chu went to further studies, not to suffer.”
“Women really have limited vision.”
I applied the last label.
“I'm not crying.”
Ma Ngoc Cam snorted coldly.
"Don't cry now, just don't embarrass yourself when you go to the airport."
Tham Nghien Chu quickly stepped forward to mediate.
“Mom, it's time.”
All the way to the airport, he continuously responded to messages. I sat in the passenger seat and helped him hold the passport wallet. Inside is also a printed plane ticket. There's only one sheet. Tham Nghien Chu is inherently very careful. The remaining ticket, he had hidden for a long time. But he didn't know that Ha Vy had a classmate who was working in the aviation industry. Unbeknownst to him, when booking the ticket, he used a backup phone number linked to the couple's shared mailbox. I don't even know... Last night I saved all the screenshots to an encrypted hard drive. The car was strangely quiet. Suddenly he grabbed my hand.
“Tri Ha, it's been hard for you.”
“In the next few years, the whole family will have to rely on you.”
I looked at the overpass ahead. He gently squeezed my fingertips.
“Don't pay attention to what your mother says.”
“She was just stubborn.”
“Just arrange your money as usual.”
“It's just that co-owned card... it's more convenient for me to use it abroad, don't change the password.”
I turned to look at him.
“Are you afraid I will change?”
He paused briefly.
“I just reminded you.”
I smiled.
“I won't change my password.”
I intend to cancel that card. When we arrived at the airport, there were still more than two hours until boarding time. Tham Nghien Chu pushed two suitcases. I pushed the remaining two. Several times he told me to go home first.
“Don't send me inside anymore.”
“Parking fees are very expensive.”
“It's also easy to get stuck in traffic.”
I lowered my head to look at the phone. Ha Vy's message has just been sent.
“That vixen has arrived.”
“Sitting at the coffee shop in T2 area.”
“Black jacket, sunglasses.”
I raised my head. Next to the glass wall not far away, a woman was facing us with her back turned. Black jacket. Small suitcase. She didn't look over here. But as soon as Tham Nghien Chu approached, she immediately put the phone to her ear. At the same time. Tham Nghien Chu's phone vibrated. His face changed slightly. Pretend like you don't see anything. At the check-in counter. Tham Nghien Chu gave the passport to the staff. The person in charge of check-in asked:
“Are you doing the check-in alone or with someone accompanying you?”
His hand clearly stopped. Then quickly replied:
“There is no one with you.”
I stood next to him, my eyes stopped on his face. He didn't dare look at me. The staff did not ask further. After completing the baggage check-in, his hands were empty and his whole body felt completely relieved. I walked over to adjust his collar.
“When you arrive, remember to eat well.”
“Don't stay up late anymore.”
A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. But the smile was quickly overshadowed.
“Wife, you are so good.”
I looked at him.
“Am I that good?”
He was a bit stunned.
"Of course."
I nodded.
“Then you must remember carefully.”
“Just because I treat you well... doesn't mean I'm stupid.”
The smile on Tham Nghien Chu's lips immediately stiffened.
“Tri Ha... why do you suddenly say that?”
I don't answer. In front of the security check door. He hugged me tightly. So tight that it felt like I was performing for someone. Leaning on his shoulder, I saw a woman in a black coat standing in the distance. She took off her sunglasses. The corners of his lips curled slightly, looking this way. I also looked straight at her. Maybe she didn't expect me to respond with such eyes. Should be the one to turn away first. The loudspeaker started announcing boarding. Tham Nghien Chu let me go, bowed his head and gently kissed my forehead.
“Waiting for you to come back.”
My eyes are red. This time it's real. But not because of him. But for eight years. Eight years I spent with this man. Since his startup failed, I mortgaged the house I bought before marriage to pay off the debt. When his mother was hospitalized, I alone managed to cover two hundred thousand yuan in hospital bills in just one night. Then his sister bought a car. He said it was only a temporary loan. And I stupidly signed the loan guarantee form. I pulled someone out of the mud. But when he stood firm... He turned around and spread all that mud on my face. Tham Nghien Chu pulled his suitcase inside. Half way there. He even turned his head and waved at me. I also waved back. Until his back completely disappeared. Until the woman in the black coat pulled her suitcase and followed her into the boarding aisle. The tears on my face immediately disappeared. The phone vibrates again. Ha Vy sent a message.
“She got on the plane.”
“Sit right next to him.”
“You still have time now.”
I bowed my head and typed. Ha Vy immediately asked again:
“Are you planning on making a scene at the airport?”
I clicked and dragged Tham Nghien Chu's phone number to the block list. Then open the bank's priority booking page.
“What's the point of making noise?”
“I'm going to get my money back.”
Step out of the airport lobby. The cold wind blew across my face. I raised my hand to call a taxi. The driver asked:
“Where are you going?”
I read the address of the bank's headquarters. On the phone screen. The balance of the co-owned card still lies there. 2,900,000 yuan. Just three more hours. After the plane entered the international flight path. Tham Nghien Chu will think that everything has been arranged well. He will think the money is still there. The card is still available. The stupid wife is still there. I opened a chat box with the bank's customer manager. Submit all screenshots. Then just text one sentence.
"I'm on my way. Please help me cancel my account."
The other party quickly responded.
"Ms. Trinh, if you want to cancel the co-ownership card, you need to verify ownership of the source of money."
I watched the scene recede outside the car window. Laughed softly.
“I brought all the documents with me.”
“Even the documents with his signature... I also brought them along.”
