Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — Khuong Niem woke up dreaming
Without stopping, I took out a stack of papers from the drawer in the dining room, turned around and brought it in front of him. He took it, still saying: "You and To Duong have completely broken up. From now on, the three of us will be a family——" The last few words were silent when seeing the document's title clearly. He turned two pages, his face darkened little by little. When he raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief: "Divorce agreement? Khuong Niem, what do you mean?" "That's the meaning I see." My voice was extremely calm, "You wouldn't think that if you and To Duong trampled on my dignity like that, I would still wait for you to return from the beginning, would you?" He opened his mouth halfway, looking unbelievable, looking a bit funny. Stammering for half a day, I only managed to squeeze out a few words: "But, but I..." I chuckled softly: "What should I do? From the day I discovered that you two were having an affair, in my heart you are no longer my husband." Not paying attention to his awkward and dazed look, I raised my chin: "Come on, look carefully at the content, then sign."12 Tham Duat bowed his head and turned over the agreement, his expression becoming more and more unsightly. Finally, I suddenly tore the piece of paper in half, threw it on the tea table, and shouted: "What do you mean there isn't any marital property? Every month I transfer tens of thousands to you, but you tell me there's no money left?" I shrugged: "It's true there's no money left. Before you and To Duong lived together and opened the company, the family assets were all transferred to the daughter's name. At that time, you agreed with your own mouth, signed the paper in black and white." The girl bought a house in Shanghai. You know, the property is in the children's name and does not participate in property division when the couple divorces." Tham Duat suddenly widened his eyes and asked seriously: "Who allowed you to buy this house? Why didn't you discuss it with me?" I sneered: "Tham Duat, if I were you, I wouldn't have the face to ask this question. Talk to you? When I went to see the house, you were under To Duong's detention order, not allowing you to see me and my mother. You can't even enter the door, who should I ask to discuss?" Tham Dut stared at me, his eyes filled with fear and anger, and after a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Khuong Niem, how many years have you been here?" Always acting out? Despite To Duong and I having an affair, draining our money, and dividing the relationship between me and my daughter... when did you become so deep-minded?" I looked straight at him, with even a bit of contempt in my eyes: "Husband and wife are the closest people, but also the closest strangers." "You even advised me to tolerate Su Duong's existence, even tolerating her arrogantly insulting me time and time again, so don't. Blame me for using every means to save myself." "Nowadays, children are maturing early, what kind of husband and father are you? What do you still need me and Nhiem Nhiem to say?" Speaking of my daughter, my voice rose a little higher: "The person who forced her to face these dirty things at such a young age was you!" Tham Duat's lips moved a few times, a vague choking sound rolled out in his throat, as if he was exhausted and sat down on the sofa, his hands trembled involuntarily. Trembling, his whole body felt like his spine was drained. 13 Tham Duat could not accept the outcome that he had struggled for many years but in just one night his wife and children were separated, leaving him empty-handed. He found a lawyer and tried to force me to release half of my assets through litigation. The second day after his lawyer's letter arrived to me, I conveniently took a photo and sent it to him. A record of violations a few years ago when he worked as a pharmaceutical representative, the amount of money was not small, enough to send him to prison for several years. The notice of withdrawal of the lawsuit was sent today
after. Gray, not even a single extra sentence left. On the other side, To Duong was also not free. She made an appointment to meet me once. His whole body was thin and deformed, his face was gray, and the sharp arrogance that was once in his eyes was completely shattered. She sat across from me, continuously rubbing the tea cup in front of her, remaining silent for a long time before opening her mouth: "Khuong Niem, when I founded the company, I took out almost all of my savings. Later on, the company's profits were almost all transferred to you as living expenses. I was just discovered to have pre-cancerous stomach cancer, a sales person who can't even drink alcohol, is that still called sales?" She raised her eyes, in a panic. The voice that rarely lost that aggressive swagger, even contained a bit of pleading: "Out of respect for everyone being women, at least give me back the registered capital of one million eight hundred thousand that I spent." I put down the cup in my hand and looked at her. "Miss To, you said that company is yours and Tham Duat's child." "You stipulated that I could not even enter the door of your company. That company has nothing to do with me from beginning to end. I don't prosecute you and Tham Duat for living together during our marriage, forming an actual marriage is my greatest mercy." Finished speaking. I thoughtfully added another word of comfort:
