Chapter 3 — I Sell 58% of Shares, Sending My Ex-Husband Out of My Life

"The transferee has been found. As general director Chu of Dinh Phong Capital fund, he is very interested in Due Hang's business. The framework agreement can be signed tonight."

Dinh Phong Capital. One of the five largest investment funds in the industry. I have met General Manager Chu several times. He is the type of person who is very sharp, but works with principles.

"After signing, keep it absolutely confidential. Before I give my permission, do not change the shareholder registration."

I put down the phone and looked at the time. There are four more hours until seven o'clock in the evening. Biet thu nha ho Han. Incorrect. It should be the Qin family's villa. I bought that three-story villa in the third year after getting married. At that time, the company had just received its first round of capital, and I took all of my profit sharing money as a one-time payment. The name on the red book is Chu Phuong, Tan Mac Thanh's mother. Khi do anh ta noi:

"Your mother has lived miserably in a small house for so many years, she should be happy now."

Toi khong do du ma dong y ngay. At that time, I still believed that... Sincerity will change sincerity. At six forty in the evening, I arrived at the front gate of the villa. Tan Mac Thanh's car was parked there before. Anh ta den som hon toi. That means… He colluded with his mother before. I got out of the car and he immediately walked over to pick me up, his face full of approval.

“Thanh Van, em toi roi.”

He had changed his clothes at home, his hair had been carefully adjusted, and he looked as gentle and harmless as usual. If I didn't know those things... Maybe I would still be fooled by this appearance again. I didn't pay attention to him and directly rang the doorbell. Nguoi ra mo cua la Chu Phuong. Fifty-eight years old, very well-groomed, dressed in high-quality silk house clothes. As soon as she saw me, she smiled and walked over.

"Thanh Van is back! Come in quickly, mom will cook some soup for you."

Nhiet tinh den muc qua gia tao. Normally she doesn't have this attitude. On weekdays, the way she looked at me always clearly spelled out one sentence:

“Why haven't you given me a grandson yet?”

Today is so unusual, it proves that Tan Mac Thanh really called in advance. Toi thay dep, di vao phong khach. The tea table is full of fruits and cakes, and the TV is playing a health program. Khung canh yen binh den gia doi. I sat down on the sofa and got straight to the point.

“I came today to ask mom something.”

Chu Phuong carried the soup out of the kitchen, her smile still unchanged.

"What's going on? Let's have a bowl of soup first."

“Khong uong dau.”

I looked at her, then at Tan Mac Thanh standing next to her.

"I want to ask... what is the divorce certificate between me and Tan Mac Thanh?"

The bowl of soup in Chu Phuong's hand shook slightly. The soup spilled out, burning her hands. She inhaled sharply and quickly put the bowl down.

“Giay ly hon gi co?”

The smile still hung on his face, but his eyes had changed.

“Thanh Van, what are you saying?”

Tan Mac Thanh lap tuc tiep loi.

"That's what I told mom. Someone outside spread rumors about our divorce. Thanh Van didn't feel secure so she wanted to come and ask mom."

His voice was light as if he was talking about something not worth worrying about. Phoi hop dung la an y that. I watched the drama between mother and daughter, but did not expose it. I nodded.

"That's good. I just came to confirm."

Chu Phuong clearly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bloomed again smile.

"You still believe such nonsense rumors? You and Mac Thanh have such a good relationship, who dares to say nonsense? Mom is the first person who won't forgive him."

I stood up.

“Then I'll go home first.”

Tan Mac Thanh was clearly relieved and quickly followed.

“I'll see you off.”

"No need."

I walked to the door then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chu Phuong.

“Oh right mom, I'll tell you about this first.”

“What?”

“I won't pay back this house loan starting next month.”

The smile on Chu Phuong's face immediately froze.

“What do you mean?”

"Nothing."

“My finances are a bit tight these days, I just can't handle it anymore.”

Having finished speaking, I didn't wait for her to react and immediately turned around and left. Behind him, Chu Phuong's high-pitched voice was immediately heard.

"Tan Mac Thanh! What does that mean? Isn't this house already bought out! What else can I borrow?"

I closed the door, cutting off all sound. The corners of the lips curled slightly. That's right, buy it outright. But the house documents are in Chu Phuong's name, and the history of transferring money to buy the house... is in my hands. This villa... At any time, it can become my chess piece. Returning to my private apartment, I showered, changed into pajamas, and sat down to work. Open the computer and log in to the company's financial system. Even though I have entrusted daily management to Tan Mac Thanh, the ultimate authority is always in my hands. This is the only thing I have never "given up" to. Now it seems... That decision saved my life. I opened the cash flow history for the last three years, looking at each item one by one. At two o'clock in the morning, I discovered three unusual transfers. 8,000,000 yuan. 12,000,000 yuan. 6,000,000 yuan. The account receiving the money is a company named "Uyen Thanh Culture". Uyen Thanh. A word taken from the name Lam Uyen. A word taken from my name, Luc Thanh Van. He used my name and my mistress's name to set up a company. Nausea to the extreme. I took a screenshot and saved it to an encrypted folder. Then turn off the computer, go to bed. Sleep very well. Not even dreaming. On the third day, Phuong Vien called.

"Mr. Luc, I've looked up some things. Is it convenient for you to meet?"

“Send me the address, I'll come over right away.”

Half an hour later, I sat in Phuong Vien's office. He pushed a bag of documents towards me.

“The relationship between Tan Mac Thanh and Lam Uyen… is not two and a half years.”

“But four years.”

I opened the file bag. Inside are photos, hotel room opening history, and transfer history.

"Before entering Due Hang, Lam Uyen was already with Tan Mac Thanh."

"She was arranged by Tan Mac Thanh himself to be brought into the company and interviewed under his special status."

In other words… Since the eighth year of this marriage, he has been cheating on me.

“There's one more thing.”

Phuong Vien's expression was slightly hesitant.

“Regarding the divorce papers.”

"I checked the civil affairs department's system. Your marital status has indeed been changed to 'divorced'. The date of change was three months ago."

My fingertips slightly stopped.

"How do they do it? To register a divorce, both parties must be present."

Phuong Vien gave me a photo. That is a photo taken from the surveillance camera of the civil affairs department. In the photo is Tan Mac Thanh... and a woman. That woman was wearing my jacket, sunglasses and mask, and her figure was close like me. But not me.

“He found someone to impersonate you.”

Phuong Vien said. I stared at that photo for a long time.

“Who is this woman?”

"Still investigating. But based on her physique and gait, it is very likely that it is Lam Uyen."

Lam Uyen pretended to be me... Accompanying my husband to register for divorce. Wild to the extreme. But that's good too. Falsifying your identity to file for divorce is an illegal act. In my hand… there's another card.

“Phuong Vien, continue investigating.”

“I wanted the whole context of Lam Uyen: family, education, social relationships.”

“Don't miss anything.”

“Understood.”

“The company ‘Uyen Thanh Culture’, help me investigate all of its business transactions and cash flow.”

Phuong Vien took notes and nodded. I took the bag of documents and left the investigation office. Sitting in the car, I called lawyer Trieu.

“Has the framework agreement been signed yet?”

"Signed. General Director Chu is very decisive, the price is 5% higher than the market."

“Prepare the documents to change shareholder registration, wait for my notification.”

"Yes. Also, Mr. Luc, there is something I want to remind you of."

"If the marital status between you and Tan Mac Thanh has indeed changed to divorce, then the transfer of shares will no longer be related to the couple's common property."

“On the contrary, it is more beneficial for you.”
