Chapter 14 — I Don't Cancel the Marriage, I Cut My Losses
Before the recording was played... My fingertips lightly stopped on the table. It's been so many years... I haven't seen my mother anymore. In my memory... Mom always wore light colored clothes. There is a gentle scent on the body. She never spoke loudly. But as long as she speaks... Everyone will listen quietly. When the video appeared... I saw the mother of eighteen years ago again. She sat in the study room of the Qin family's old villa. The face is a bit pale. But the smile is still as gentle as in the memory.
"If this will is opened..."
"That means..."
"Mom has no way to protect Tri Van on her own anymore."
The whole hall was as quiet as paper. Mom continued talking.
"The entire Tan Thi Trust Fund, real estate, jewelry and profits from investment funds are in mother's name..."
"Leave everything to my daughter."
Tang Tri Van.
"No organization or individual..."
"It is allowed to use the name of guardianship, marriage or family management to transfer, appropriate or use those assets."
I quietly looked at the screen. Mother's voice echoed throughout the hall.
"If the Tang family, the Pho family, the Chu family..."
"Or any related party participating in the appropriation, concealment or transfer of the above assets..."
"The Qin Shi Trust will automatically activate the recourse clause."
In the recording... Mom stopped slightly. She was looking at her daughter many years later.
"If you've seen this far..."
"Don't ever..."
"For any thing called intimacy or love..."
"But give up what inherently belongs to you."
I slightly lowered my eyes. In the hall... Someone quietly took a breath. After the will ended... Giang Nghien began reading the recourse clause. The Tang family appropriated guardianship money and profits from real estate. Officially put into collection process. The Pho family took advantage of the intermarriage to receive sponsorship from Tan Thi. Due to public violation of the agreement... The terms of termination of guarantee and recourse to assets are activated. The Chu family is involved in irregularities in the process of inventorying Tan Van Ninh's relics and assets. The file is transferred to the next stage of investigation. All related assets of the three families... are proposed to be frozen. Luong Tinh Nghi put his hands on the table. Finally, she couldn't sit still.
"Tang Tri Van."
"We can talk in private."
"Tan Van Ninh is gone."
"She also wouldn't expect you to push three families to the end."
I slowly raised my eyes. The lights in the hall were very bright. For the first time... Luong Tinh Nghi saw the undisguised coldness in my eyes.
"It's not worth mentioning my mother."
Luong Tinh Nghi's face turned pale. Pho Thua Nhac spoke in a low voice.
"The story of previous generations..."
"There are indeed a lot of misunderstandings."
"The Pho family is ready to compensate."
I looked at him.
"How to compensate?"
Pho Thua Nhac replied:
"Pho Group can cede part of the interests of the Thanh Dong project."
"Consider it a condition of reconciliation."
I calmly said:
"Thanh Dong project..."
"The contract has been violated."
Fu Cheng Yue's face became even more ugly. I continued:
"The item is broken..."
"Then don't bring compensation to me."
Chu Khai Luong also began to get impatient.
"The Chu family is willing to return all old items."
"Nien Duong is still young, he's just a kid."
Chu Niem Duong immediately turned to look at his father. Twenty-four years old. When she needs to marry into the Pho family... She is the daughter who helps the Chu family gain resources. When it comes to taking responsibility... He immediately turns into an incomprehensible child. I looked at Chu Khai Luong.
"Return..."
"It's not a condition."
"It's an obligation."
Chu Khai Luong had nothing more to say. The Tang family... No one was present. Tang Hoai Tu is still under investigation. Only Mrs. Tang asked her lawyer to bring a handwritten letter. The letter said... The Tang family is ready to publicly apologize. I just hope I don't blockade the wedding house in Tang Ngung's name. After reading... I gave the letter to Giang Nghien.
"Save file."
Giang Nghien asked:
"Do you need to answer?"
"No need."
When the hearing ended... Those three families had no face left. Almost at the same time... A series of newspaper headlines were published. The chain of cash flows behind the marriage annulment party of three families. The wealthy adopted daughter turns out to be the true heir of the Qin family. Bach Nguyet Quang wears jewelry belonging to a lost heritage. Publicly annulled the marriage, leading to a shocking property claim.
