Chapter 3 — I Choose Law, Not Forgiveness

Before leaving, Ky Thuc intentionally knocked me hard on the shoulder, causing me to stumble and almost fall. The furniture has almost been moved. The two pressed the elevator to prepare to leave, looking arrogant as if they were winning an overwhelming victory. I didn't say anything, just quietly took out my phone and dialed the police number. — Hello, I want to report a case. Someone broke into my house and is stealing property. As soon as he heard me say that from afar, Ky Thuc immediately widened his eyes, rushed forward, violently knocked my phone away, and screamed shrilly: - Duong Nhac Nghi, are you crazy? What are you doing?! I looked at him calmly, with a calm voice: - Is there something difficult to understand? — He brought his ex-girlfriend to my house, illegally broke in, took things, and now broke my phone. — The front door camera clearly records every minute. I raised my hand and pointed straight at the camera at the door. Ky Thuc's face turned pale immediately, darkening like a stormy sky. Ly Y Huyen was also angry, walking in high heels and scolding me: - Don't go crazy! A Thuc only took his things back, who robbed whom? I think you're crazy! I tilted my head to look at her, smiling slightly but coldly to the bone: - Oh? If it's his stuff, why is he afraid of me calling the police? Ly Y Huyen paused, as if speechless. She turned her head to look at Ky Thuc, just happened to meet his avoiding eyes, and immediately glared in disbelief. — Ky Thuc, after lying for so long, do you still think it's true? — Who bought these items, you know better than anyone! Because... the pile of cheap household appliances he bought himself the day before had long since fallen into disrepair! 06 Ky Thuc and I started living together from the fourth month of falling in love. The reason is simple: living together saves money on rent. At that time, Ky Thuc was renting a tiny one-room apartment. It was too cramped for two people to squeeze in there, and the lease was about to expire, so we discussed finding a new house. I like an apartment with one bedroom and one living room, fully furnished, just bring your suitcase to move in. As for Ky Thuc, he aimed for a two-room, one-guest house, the house was completely empty and had no furniture. He enthusiastically persuaded me to choose that apartment: - Honey, the house with two rooms and one guest is very spacious! — The price is also cheap, finding a house like this in this area is a great deal! He stuck with me for a few days, enthusiastically promoting the advantages: - In the future, we can also make a separate room to put the computer to play games, the living room is so big, you even said you want to raise a cat, once we move in, we can raise one! I frowned and hesitantly protested: - But... there's no bed, no refrigerator, not even a water heater... - Buying all those things would be so annoying after moving house! This two-room, one-guest apartment is really cheap... But it's so much trouble! After buying all the essential furniture, the amount of money spent is almost equal to renting a three-room, one-person apartment! I actually don't want to rent this kind of house at all. But Ky Thuc insisted, beating his chest and pledging: - It's all the small things, I can take care of them all! — How about this, honey, I'll take care of the rent, and you'll take care of the electronics, okay? — I promise to make sure you're satisfied! Ky Thuc trot The tip of my tongue said big words, I couldn't help but laugh and cry. I couldn't stand his chorus of pleas so I nodded in agreement. Immediately, Ky Thuc was as happy as Tet, and in less than a week, he bought all his belongings. He also deliberately chose when I was at work to quietly assemble everything, saying it was to surprise me. That night, he took me home. Looking at the "carefully arranged" furniture, I couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds. The reason is very simple - because of the electronic products that Ky Thuc bought, I have never heard of the brand before! Moreover, the outer shell is yellow, clearly it is an old product that has been in stock for a long time, not a new product! The refrigerator doesn't cool, the air conditioner is third-rate, wastes electricity, and the washing machine makes a loud noise like a firecracker every time it's spun. But what made me the most angry was that strangely labeled water heater - there was an electric leak! I turned off the switch but every time I shower I still get a numbing electric shock! I complained to Ky Thuc, he showed a pitiful face like a puppy: - Sorry baby, I didn't know it was like that... He only apologized, didn't try to find a solution, just kept making promises and then dragging it out day after day. Until one day, my whole arm felt numb, I couldn't stand it anymore, I spent my own money to buy a new water heater and replaced the other one. I still remember clearly, when Ky Thuc saw that, he immediately looked annoyed and said: - That thing is still usable, why suddenly waste money to buy such an expensive thing? At that moment, my eye twitched and I almost asked directly: "Are you planning on waiting until I get electrocuted to death before you think it's worth replacing?" But I restrained myself, trying to say softly: - It's almost winter, the water is weak, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold after taking a cold shower... Ky Thuc pouted but in the end he couldn't argue anymore, took the old one away and threw it away. After that, I did everything in one go: Replaced the washing machine that was as noisy as a flea market, Replaced the old refrigerator that wasn't cold, Replaced the air conditioner that spewed hot air, Replaced the mattress that was as hard as bricks. Then he also bought his own wardrobe, desk, comfortable sofa, new TV, etc. From the initial nagging, Ky Thuc gradually got used to his mouth and eyes, and then took it for granted. A few days before we broke up, he even whispered in my ear: - You know, I see that everyone's house has a mini refrigerator in the game room. — Hey baby, how about we buy one too? He kept talking, even pre-selected the model, sent the link to my phone, waiting for me to place an order. It's just that before I could buy it... he and I had an argument! I haven't had time to touch the mini refrigerator yet, but the big refrigerator already wants to be carried first! I sneered and looked at Ky Thuc coldly: - If there's even a single word in your mouth that's sincere, then at least be decisively kind when breaking up, then I can still see you as a man with spirit! I really didn't expect that Ky Thuc would break the lock and break into my house like a thief, steal all my belongings, and even want to claim them as his own! This kind of disgusting shamelessness really makes people nauseous! 07 Not only did I think that in my heart, but I also scolded it out loud. Ky Thuc's face darkened visibly. Ly Y Huyen's face also changed, but she still tried to act tough, screaming at me: - What are you screaming?! — You and A Thuc loved each other for so long, how much money did he spend for you and us? Haven't had time to calculate yet! — This bag, didn't he give it to me? I laughed coldly, yanked the bag from her hand: - This is the gift I gave myself when I got promoted! Ly Y Huyen was completely defenseless. When I snatched her bag, she cried out, her eyes were red, she pointed at me and trembled as if she wanted to say something, but as soon as she faced my cold eyes, she immediately crawled into Ky Thuc's arms, sobbing: - Ah Thuc... my hand hurts so much... This sentence made Ky Thuc immediately burst into flames. — Duong Nhac Nghi! — Ky Thuc gritted his teeth and shouted: — Apologize to Y Huyen immediately! I looked at him as if I were looking at a mentally disabled person. Without bothering to answer, I bent down and picked up the phone again, planning to call the mental hospital after calling the police. It would be best for him to stay there. But I didn't expect that it was my indifference that made Ky Thuc crazy. He panted heavily, rushed forward and pushed me hard. I was completely defenseless and fell forward, my head hitting the sharp corner of the shoe cabinet! A sharp pain shot from the top of my head to my whole body, my ears were ringing, my head was dizzy. I tried to sit up and touch my head - it was all fresh blood.
