Chapter 4 — Mother-in-law Gave Me 500,000 Yuan To Get Away, I Freeze Her Son's 100,000,000 Yuan
Diep Tri Thu placed the coffee cup firmly on the tea table. A heavy sound rang out. She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned her back against the wall.
"To Van Tinh."
"Please tell me the truth."
"What are you going to do anyway?"
"Yesterday at the restaurant she said 'you'll know tomorrow'."
"Now tomorrow is here."
"Can you tell me yet?"
I took out a dark gray dress from the closet. Spread on the bed. Flatten the neckline of the dress.
"Come with me to the celebration party this afternoon."
"But no matter what happens..."
"Don't defend me."
"Don't quarrel with anyone."
"Don't stop me from doing anything."
"Can you do it?"
"What do you mean?"
Diep Tri Thu glared.
"You want me to sit and watch you being bullied without speaking up?"
"Not without speaking up."
I smiled.
"It's just..."
"It's not your turn to speak yet."
Diep Tri Thu looked at me for a long time. Finally she slowly opened her mouth:
"To Van Tinh."
"Sometimes you scare me."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid you're much more powerful than I thought."
"I'm also afraid that..."
"Actually, I never understood you very well."
I picked up the dress and tried it on in front of me. The woman in the mirror remained calm as usual. It's like you're preparing to attend a very normal party.
"3:30 p.m."
"I met you in front of the hotel."
When leaving. Diep Tri Thu even turned his head to look at me once. The moment I close the door. I saw her expression change from anger to confusion. The incomprehensible word... Turned into a deep, searching gaze. The door closes. The whole house fell into silence. I stood at the mysterious gate. Take the phone out of your pocket. Click to call a phone number. The bell only rang twice. The other end of the line picked up the phone.
"General Manager To."
It was a man's voice. Professional.
"Is everything ready for tonight?"
"Already prepared."
"All personnel are in position."
"Investigation documents."
"Freeze notice."
"Everything is ready."
"The legal team is also waiting for orders."
"What about the documents that need to be signed?"
"Original copy has been obtained from within Hao Vu Technology Company."
"Our side discovered two sets of reports."
"A set used for public announcement."
"A set of internal circulation."
"The data are three times different."
"The report sent to investors has Lam Hao's handwritten signature."
I replied softly.
"Wait for my signal."
"Yes, General Manager To."
The call ended. I turned off the phone screen. Then put it back in your pocket. The living room was strangely quiet. Outside on the balcony. The apron that was drying was gently blowing in the wind. The blue pattern flips to the other side. Revealing oil stains that have not been cleaned no matter how many times they have been washed. 3:30 p.m. See you at the hotel door. The Chau Quang Hall of the riverside hotel is located on the third floor. The entrance is a very long hallway. The red carpet is spread straight. Both sides were filled with fresh flowers and promotional signs of Hao Vu Technology Company. On the billboard is a large photo of Lam Hao. He wears a suit. Arms folded across chest. Below is printed an extremely prominent line: Hao Vu Technology — Defining the Future. There are many people lining up in front of the reception desk. I announced my name. The girl in charge of welcoming guests had to flip through several pages of the list to find it. Then use a highlighter pen to mark one.
"Lady Lam."
She was a little swamped stop.
"Your seat is in the back."
"Table number 1 and table number 2 are for leaders and investors."
"The family area is arranged at table number 9."
The entire hall only had a total of ten tables. Table number 9 is in the far left corner. Right next to the path leading to the restroom. I found my correct position and sat down. On the table card were written only two words: Mrs. Lam. Not... To Van Tinh. Diep Tri Thu sat next to me. His eyes glanced around the hall. His face became more and more ugly.
"Look at table number 1."
She leaned close to my ear.
"Tham Nhuoc Lam is sitting to the right of Lam Hao."
"My mother-in-law sits on the left."
"And the man in the suit and gold watch is probably Tham Quoc Luong."
I looked in the direction she pointed. Table number 1 is covered with a gold-trimmed tablecloth. Much more advanced than other tables. Lam Hao wore a dark blue custom-made suit. It's a set I've never seen before. Tham Nhuoc Lam sat next to him. On her body is a lotus pink mermaid dress. The jade earrings on her ears reflect the light. Blue to the point of being blinding. Those are my earrings. And Truong Thuy Lan sat on the other side. Wearing a dark red cheongsam. Hair tied in a neat bun. The smile on his face looked like it was plated with gold. But no matter how you look at it... It just feels fake, like a thin layer of paper about to be torn apart. Next to me were two guests passing by. They did not realize that the person sitting here was the "Lady Lam" they were talking about. One person lowered his voice and said:
"I heard that General Manager Lam will announce an investment of 100,000,000 yuan today."
"The Tham family invested capital."
The other person immediately replied:
"No wonder."
"The Tham family are his true nobles."
"And the other wife is just a housewife."
"I heard that I still stay at home and cook every day."
"Is it real or fake?"
The other person laughed.
"A tycoon who owns more than a hundred million yuan in assets marries a housewife?"
"Not yet."
"I also don't understand where he saw her that year."
