Chapter 7 — Mother-in-law Chooses Ex-Love

I said: "This is a member of my team, come to witness the handover process to avoid confusion later." Tieu Dao immediately raised her hand: "Don't worry, Boss Van, we have received professional security training." Manh Kim added: "I've also been trained to endure oppression according to labor laws, so I can carry loads very quickly." Van Thoi Nghien looked at me: "Chieu Vi, let's talk." I shook my head: "You can sit in the living room and watch us pack." I stayed at his house for a while. Clothes are not much, but books are quite good. Specialized books, case law files, a few novels I conveniently bought, and even a set of unopened coffee cups. A Vu took pictures and labeled them.

“Boss Sam, is this scarf yours?”

I glanced. A yellow cashmere scarf. Not mine. I don't like yellow. Van Thoi Nghien's face changed slightly: "That's something from before." I nodded: "Leave it in the same place." A Vu was extremely professional: "Obviously, the item does not belong to our side." The girl spoke so seriously that I almost burst out laughing. In the bedroom wardrobe there is a women's windbreaker, camel color, size S. Also not my size. Van Thoi Nghien explained: "When The Nguyet forgot, I completely forgot." I said: "I understand. My house is a bit big, my memory can't keep up with the area." Tieu Dao bowed her head to hold back her laughter. Van Thoi Nghien's lips pursed into a straight line. After cleaning, I placed the gate card, garage remote and spare key on the shoe cabinet.

"I will bear half of the expenses related to the wedding according to the actual costs. I have marked the expensive gifts you gave me on the list. If you want to recover them, I will have someone bring them to the company. If they do not recover, I will convert them into cash and donate them to the legal aid fund."

He looked at the keys, his voice was very light.

“We have come to this step, are you really not sad at all?”

I thought for a moment. “Sad.” His eyes brightened a little. I continued: "I'm sad because my eyes still need three verifications to understand clearly." His eyes darkened again. I picked up the last box of books.

"Van Thoi Nghien, the best way for an adult to show off is to admit that he has been out of the game."

6 Three days after the marriage annulment, Pho Lam Chi came to the law firm to find me. When the receptionist called me, her voice tried to keep her voice low:

“Boss Sam, there is a person named Pho who claims to be boss Van's mother.”

I just finished a cross-border M&A meeting, my mind is still filled with antitrust declaration timelines.

“Tell her to wait in the reception room for 10 minutes.”

The receptionist hesitated: “She said her time is very valuable.” I glanced at the schedule: "Tell her, I charge an hourly consultation fee. If she wants to consult on marriage and family law, she must pay the fee in advance." Ten minutes later, I entered the reception room. Pho Lam Chi sat on the sofa, his back straight. Today she did not wear a cheongsam but changed to a white suit, with a pearl necklace peeking out from the collar. Looks like he came to negotiate. Unfortunately, negotiations are also divided between classes. I sat down and the assistant placed the recorder on the table. Pho Lam Chi frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's just a professional habit. If Mrs. Pho feels uncomfortable, she can choose to leave."

She tried to hold back: “Sam Chieu Vi, today I I'm here to give you the stairs to walk down." I picked up my cup of coffee: "Just say it."

“At the engagement party, I spoke a bit harshly. But when she publicly annulled the marriage, the Van family became a laughingstock, and also made Thoi Nghien very sad."

I nodded: "And then what?"

“It's normal for young men to fall in love with each other and have some temperament. Thoi Nghien hasn't eaten or slept in recent days, and the company has also been affected. You go back, I can tell The Nguyet to rarely appear in front of you in the future."
