Chapter 8 — Mother-in-law Took My 3 Million Yuan, I Made Her Pay It Back Double

“Oh my god… Mom was tricked!”

“No way… he looks so dignified… playing cards with mom…”

“Mom, please go to the police!”

"Report to the police? Can I get it back?"

"This is a scam! Of course we must report it!"

“But… Mom volunteered to lend…”

"It's voluntary but the other party disappears, it's clearly a scam!"

On the other end of the line... crying came out.

“What should I do… it's 2,500,000 yuan…”

"First, I'll go to the police. They will help investigate."

"…Really?"

“Really. But mom…”

I stopped slightly, my voice slowed down.

“That 2,500,000 yuan… where did you get it from?”

The other end of the line... was silent.

"Mom? Are you still listening?"

“Mom's 2,500,000 yuan… where did it come from?”

“This… this is…”

“Mom, don't tell me you used my 3,000,000 yuan to invest?”

“Mom, say it!”

“…I think if I earn money, I will return it to you…”

I almost burst out laughing. Before, she also said that the money was hers and she would definitely not pay it back. Now that you've been fooled, you're turning around and saying "return it".

“Mom, so that means… you really took 3,000,000 yuan from me?”

“…Yes…but I didn't mean to…”

“Not on purpose?” I laughed coldly, "You knew the password without knowing it, took the phone, and transferred money?"

“…Mom saw you write down the password… suddenly confused…”

Finally... admit it cleanly.

“Mom, you regret it?”

“Yes… I was wrong, I really know I was wrong…”

“So what are you going to do, Mom?”

“Mom… I'll go to the police, try to get the money back… then give it back to me…”

“Do you think you can get it back?”

“…Maybe… okay?”

"I'll be honest, it's almost impossible to get it back in these types of scams. As soon as the money is transferred, they withdraw it all, erasing all traces."

The other end of the line was silent.

“…So my money…”

“You know the feeling of losing money, right?”

“…What do you mean?”

“The way mom feels now… is exactly how I felt when she took my money.”

“…Nhu Yen…I beg you…can you forgive me this time…”

“It's not a matter of forgiveness or not.” I said slowly, "It's Mom who has to bear the consequences."

“…What consequences?”

“Money can't be returned... then mom has to pay me.”

“I… where will I get the money to pay…”

“What?” she almost shouted, “Selling the house?”

"Yes. Sell the house my mother is living in and return 3,000,000 yuan to me."

"No! That's mom's place!"

"Then I'll think of another way. But the money... must be paid."

“But I really don't…”

“None of my business.” My voice turned cold, "Mom took my money, invested it and got scammed. It was all her own doing."

“Nhu Yen… you can't treat your mother like that…”

“How do I treat my mother?” I laughed, "Mom took my money first."

“But we are one family…”

“One person?” I interrupted, “When you took my money… did you think so?”

On the other side... there was only crying.

“Nhu Yen… I beg you… please help me…”

“How to help?”

“…Can you…lend me a loan first…”

“Loan?” I laughed out loud, "Do you think I still trust you?"

“I promise… this time I will definitely pay…”

"Mom promised. She said my money was 'very safe'. What about the results?"

“…This time is different…”

“Where is different?” I said coldly, "Mom has lost all trust in me."

“…So…what should I do?”

“Very simple. Pay.”

“I really don't…”

"Then find Tu Tu. Tell her to cancel the house purchase."

"No! Tu Tu's house is absolutely not returned!"

“Why not?”

"He's about to get married. How will he get married if he doesn't have a house?"

“Then it's okay it makes money to buy. Don't use my money.”

“But it doesn't have…”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

“Nhu Yen… I beg you…”

“Mom, you don't need to ask.” I said every word clearly, "Pay in full, everything is done."

“…If I can't pay?”

“So I'm suing.”

“Initiate a lawsuit?”
