Chapter 13 — Mother-in-law Chooses Ex-Love

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

"The sister is really amazing, she canceled the engagement and even made an Excel sheet."

“My ex-mother-in-law's words were really suffocating, in exchange for that, I'm sure I would have knocked the table over.”

I didn't knock the table. The table is very expensive, it's tiring. At 3 pm, Van Thoi Nghien texted.

“That article was not posted by me, I will handle it.”

I replied: "Hopefully the results of your treatment will be better than your performance at the engagement party." He replied immediately: “I promise.” That night, the article debunking the scandal was deleted. It's useless. I have completed saving the electronic evidence. Two days later, the platform provided real subscriber information according to the court's coordination request. The registered account owner is the nephew of Ms. Pho Lam Chi's driver. Investigating against the cash flow and transfer orders originating from Lan Thanh Consulting company. It's really debt-free. The villains were afraid that I would have to work overtime, so they proactively lined up to hand over evidence to me. The day I submitted the documents to the court, Tong The Nguyet texted me.

“Aunt Pho is crazy, she said the Tong family is coming out to oppress you.”

I asked: “What about you?” She replied: "I have signed the withdrawal papers. I will fly to Shanghai tonight." I said: "Peace on the road." She let out a smile: "Lawyer Sam, if I have a chance in the future, I'll invite you to drink coffee. Normal coffee, no hourly charge." I replied: “Okay, but I will still be on time.” On the other hand, Tu Quang's capital raising deal is at a deadlock. Tinh Hanh Fund requested Duong Ninh Capital to withdraw from this round. Deputy Lam Chi refused. She called all the Van family's relatives to the ancestral house, complaining that Van Thoi Nghien was confused by the fox spirit and slapped his mother in the face because of her ex-fiancee. Van Thoi Nghien immediately brought out Consultant Lan Thanh's pile of documents and threw them in the middle of the table.

"Mom used Duong Ninh Capital to share profits without reporting to the Board of Directors. If Tinh Hanh withdraws capital, Tu Quang's valuation will drop at least 20%."

Pho Lam Chi screamed: "I am your mother, can I harm you?" Van Thoi Nghien replied: "Mom has already harmed you once." When this sentence reached my ears, I was preparing an outline for questioning evidence before going to court. Manh Kim was so excited that his eyes were bright as he stood next to me.

“Boss Sam, boss Van is really tough this time.”

I didn't bother to raise my head.

“Steel that is tempered later can still be used, it's just not suitable for this project of mine.”

Manh Kim gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are truly a master of material metaphor." I glanced at the girl: "Stop talking nonsense. Have you submitted the list of evidence tomorrow?" The girl immediately grabbed the computer and escaped. The smile did not suddenly appear or disappear, it just transferred from my face to the suffering of the employee I exploited. 10 Van Thoi Nghien came to me after he officially kicked Duong Ninh Capital out of the capital raising round. Tinh Hanh Fund agreed to continue closing the deal. Tu Quang's Board of Directors added a new resolution, the person in charge of Deputy Lam Chi's asset management office was fired, and Lan Thanh Consulting fell into the sights of the tax department and supervisory agencies. That day I had just finished an arbitration hearing, wearing a black suit, my heels were torn to shreds by my new shoes. The elevator door opened, Van Thoi Nghien stood outside the company's reception desk. The receptionist girl was tense as if she saw her ex-lover coming to crash the restaurant. I walked over: "Boss Van, don't you have an appointment?" He said: “I want to see you.”

“Personal matter?”

“Personal matter.”

“Then I'm off work, I refuse to work overtime.”

I turned around and walked towards the parking lot. He followed, keeping a distance of exactly two steps. At least the concept of boundaries has been learned.

“I've already dealt with my mother's side of things.”

“Congratulations.”
