Chapter 1 — My Husband Pretended to Be Poor to Fool Me

1When I got home from work, it was very late. After showering, I sat on the bed scrolling through my phone and suddenly saw a notification being pushed up. I felt my heart ache. "Famous female star Lam Nha received a diamond necklace worth four million from a mysterious tycoon on her birthday." I rubbed my eyes, shaking my fingers to enlarge the photo. The man in the photo only showed his back, but after three years of marriage, I immediately recognized that it was my husband - Tham Ngan, because behind his ear there was a very clear black mole. Four million seems like an unimaginable number to me. A few days ago, I went for a walk with him. I like a bag that costs two hundred thousand, he said it's too expensive, I shouldn't buy it. I calculated that two hundred thousand could buy tissue paper that would last for several months, so I gave up the idea of buying a bag. Now, I feel suffocated.—————-Tham Ngan and I met online. After more than two months of chatting, we met in real life and fell in love at first sight, then got together. Then, on Valentine's Day, he held a can cap ring and proposed to me, saying that when he made money later, he would buy me a big diamond ring. I agreed, because I love him. He is an orphan, raised in an orphanage. Having failed in business before and owing more than a hundred million, our wedding had to be kept simple. Currently, we are living in a rented house. I pay the monthly rent, and I also take care of daily living expenses. To maintain a living, I work during the day, and at night I work at a restaurant as a waiter. As for his salary, he used it to pay off his debt. He said: "Wife, thank you for giving me a family. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. Wait for me to pay off all the debt, I will try to earn money to buy a car and a house for you, so you can have a better life." Speaking of this, he even cried. "If it wasn't because my business failed, you wouldn't have to suffer with me. Wife, I'm sorry." I kissed him and comforted him: "Husband, don't be sad. Just being with you makes me happy." At that time, I thought I was the happiest woman in the world. Tham Ngan is very handsome, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and only loves me. Besides having no money, he is actually a perfect husband. As long as we try, that debt will soon be paid off. I bit my lip and sobbed. While crying, I received a text message from Tham Ngan. "Wife, business is very good today, I want to earn more money to pay off debt. You don't need to wait for me, just go to sleep first." During the day, Tham Ngan is a delivery worker, and at night he often works as a service driver. If it wasn't for seeing that photo, I would have foolishly believed that he was actually working part-time at night. I don't understand, why did he cheat on me? I stayed up all night, and Tham Ngan didn't come home. After washing my face, I didn't even have breakfast but left the house. Dreamily walking out the gate, I saw a familiar figure on the other side of the street. I quickly hid behind a tree. Tham Ngan stepped down from a Bentley car, the luxurious suit he wore last night was replaced with a cheap T-shirt and jeans that I bought for him. At that time, a middle-aged man respectfully gave him a bag, inside were soybeans and dumplings that I really liked. Just as he received the bag, another car stopped right in front of him. I immediately recognized the man stepping down from the car as the director of a technology company. My friend works for his company. He walked up to Tham Ngan and bowed his head obsequiously. Tham Ngan looked lazy and didn't pay attention to him. My friend once said

that her boss is a very talented person, why does she look like that in front of Tham Ngan now? Tham Ngan came home and called me. Seeing the name "beloved husband" appear on the screen, my eyes blurred. After taking a deep breath, I picked up the phone. "Wife, I'm off work, I bought you the soybeans and dumplings you like the most." "I have work, I have to go to the company early today. Just eat." Tham Ngan's voice on the other end sounded sad: "Okay, wife, when you come back I will cook you another delicious dish." I said yes for a while then hung up the phone. After that, I sent a message asking for leave. I don't go to the company, but want to see where Tham Ngan goes to work every day and clarify everything. There was a cafe opposite, so I chose a seat. At noon, Tham Ngan left the house. He got into the Bentley, I put on a mask and hurriedly caught a taxi to follow. We went to a luxury restaurant. As soon as Bentley stopped, the waiter immediately ran to open the car door. Tham Ngan got down and threw the car keys to him. The gesture clearly shows that he comes here often. I carefully followed Tham Ngan and saw him enter a private room. In the room were several young men, all dressed very smartly, looking like rich young men. I took out my phone and pretended to be standing in the hallway to make a call. They ordered a lot of dishes, including lobster, king crab, and abalone soup. I've only seen these dishes on TV shows, but at home, Tham Ngan can't bear to throw away leftovers, telling me to save them for the next meal. Soon, laughter rang out from the private room. "Mr. Tham, looking at you wearing this old outfit, I just want to laugh. You are the heir to a billionaire family!" "How long are you planning to perform this play? You're not really in love with the country girl Tu Nhiem, are you?" I heard Tham Ngan's voice rebutting: "What are you joking about? She's just a distraction, not worth my concern. I told her I owe her a debt." more than a hundred million, she said she was willing to suffer with me, to repay the debt with me. I have never met a woman as stupid and blinded by love as her. "There was loud laughter in the room, as if everyone was mocking my stupidity. At that moment, my heart felt like someone had slashed it with a knife, it was so painful that blood flowed out.
