Chapter 1 — Mother-in-law Gave Me 500,000 Yuan To Get Away, I Freeze Her Son's 100,000,000 Yuan

My Mother-in-law Gave Me 500,000 Yuan to Get Away, I Turned to Freeze Her Son's 100,000,000 Yuan When the divorce agreement with the condition of leaving empty-handed was slammed down hard in front of my mother-in-law, Truong Thuy Lan, the jade bracelet on her wrist hit the table covered with a white silk scarf, emitting a crisp echo, like the final hammer blow nailing her three-year marriage. me. In the banquet hall of the riverside hotel that Hao Vu Technology Company had completely booked to hold a celebration party, the sound of clinking glasses and cups suddenly subsided. Pick up the pen, calmly sign your name on the last page. The smile that had been suppressed for so long on the corner of Truong Thuy Lan's lips finally fully bloomed. I don't bother paying attention to her. Her eyes glanced over her shoulder, stopping on my husband Lam Hao, who was holding a glass of champagne and standing not far away. I raised my voice loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly:

"Would you mind telling your mother for me?"

"The entire investment amount that your company has just received in this funding round, a total of 100,000,000 yuan, will be completely frozen starting at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

"The set of financial documents that you submitted to the investors have also been transferred to the investigation agency."

The smile on Truong Thuy Lan's face immediately stiffened. Her face turned white in an instant.

"What...what did you just say?"

I don't answer. Just pick up the napkin on the table and slowly wipe your fingertips clean. Then fold it neatly and place it on the signed agreement, as if covering something not so clean. That celebration party has made me suffocated for the past three days. Three days ago. Afternoon. I'm standing in the kitchen chopping broccoli. The knife blade steadily tapped on the cutting board. Coc. Coc. Coc. The sound of the lock turning rang out. Lam Hao returned home. The person accompanying him was also Truong Thuy Lan. And also Tham Nhuoc Lam. I stuck my head out of the kitchen. Tham Nhuoc Lam wore a cream-colored cashmere coat and thin high heels, standing in the middle of my house's 80-square-meter living room. In her hand was a designer handbag whose name I couldn't name.

"Van Tinh."

Truong Thuy Lan didn't even look at me, just kicked off her sandals at the mysterious gate and went straight to the sofa to sit down.

"Make tea. Today Nhuoc Lam came to visit you."

I put down the knife. Go make tea. Tham Nhuoc Lam's eyes slowly scanned around the house. Finally stopping on the apron drying on the balcony. The apron with a white background and blue flowers had an oil stain that hadn't been washed cleanly. She took the cup of tea and smiled sweetly:

"Sister-in-law is so capable."

"I cook and clean every day. I definitely can't do these things."

Truong Thuy Lan immediately continued:

"It can only do that."

"Don't count on anything else."

Lam Hao spoke while changing his shoes.

"Did mom say it wrong?"

Truong Thuy Lan's voice immediately rose.

"It's been three years."

"Refuses to go to work."

"I can't even give birth to any children."

"All day I just hang around the kitchen."

"If my son wasn't lucky, who would want to marry him?"

I put the tea cup down next to her hand and then returned to the kitchen to continue chopping vegetables. The conversations outside the living room were not intentionally lowered. Or to be more precise... It was intentional so that I could hear it.

"Nhuoc Lam, give me the dress Have you chosen the celebration party the day after tomorrow?"

"If you stand next to Lam Hao, you have to be a good match."

Tham Nhuoc Lam pretended to be embarrassed:

"Miss Truong, isn't that the sister-in-law's position?"

Truong Thuy Lan laughed contemptuously.

"Put him on stage, he may not be able to say three complete sentences."

The knife in my hand still didn't stop. Each slice of vegetable is cut evenly.

"Van Tinh! Come here for a moment."

I wiped my hands and walked out. Truong Thuy Lan pointed to the red velvet-covered jewelry box on the tea table. I recognized it immediately. Those are a pair of teardrop-shaped jade earrings. On the wedding day, she personally put it on for me. In front of all the guests, she smiled and said:

"From today onwards, Van Tinh is my biological daughter."

Now, she coldly ordered:

"Bring out those earrings."

"Let Nhuoc Lam try it on."

"At the celebration party the day after tomorrow, she will look better wearing it."

I looked at Lam Hao. He was looking intently at the phone, his index finger tapping twice on the edge of the case. It's a habit that only appears when he's guilty. I called him.

"These earrings were a gift your mother gave me on my wedding day."

"I know."

He did not raise his head.

"Mom told me to take it, so just take it out."

"It's just a pair of earrings, it's not worth much."

The jade bracelet in Truong Thuy Lan's hand lightly hit the back of the chair.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Quickly go get it out."

I turned around and walked into the bedroom. Open the jewelry box. Take out the jade earrings. Tham Nhuoc Lam held one up to her ear, tilted her head and took a photo.

"Miss Truong, can I borrow it for two days?"

"What can I borrow?"

Truong Thuy Lan smiled.

"Just keep holding it."

Tham Nhuoc Lam immediately put both earrings in her bag. The sound of the zipper closing was very quiet. But it was extremely clear to my ears.

"Sister-in-law don't mind?"

She looked at me, tilted her head and smiled. It's the smile of someone who knows everything but still deliberately pretends not to know.

"Don't mind."

Truong Thuy Lan stood up and warmly clapped Tham Nhuoc Lam's hand.

"I took you to choose shoes for the party the day after tomorrow."

When passing me, Tham Nhuoc Lam suddenly stopped walking. She leaned closer, using a volume that only I could hear:

"The oil stain on the apron, soak it in white vinegar and it will be clean immediately."

Having finished speaking, she stood up straight, smiled and followed Truong Thuy Lan to leave. From start to finish. Lam Hao did not say another word to me. The door closed. The pot of soup on the stove is still boiling. The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated. I took it out to see. It's a strange number whose name hasn't been saved yet. The message has only four words:

"Everything is ready."

I delete the message. Then put the phone back in your pocket. A little of the soup in the pot spilled out and fell into the fire at the bottom of the stove. Makes a soft hissing sound. The next morning. I brought a thermal bag to Lam Hao's company. Hao Vu Technology Company leases half a floor of an office building. On the glass door, the orange logo is so prominent that it is dazzling. The receptionist saw me and immediately smiled politely but still kept her distance.

"Is your sister-in-law coming?"

"General Manager Lam is in a meeting."

"I know."

I placed the thermal bag on the counter.
