Chapter 13 — My mother-in-law made a will to steal my property, leaving the whole family empty-handed

And also my parents. So everything he is suffering... is worth it. He looked at my cold face and finally gave up. He smiled, a self-deprecating smile.

“Let's go, get it done soon.”

The divorce process happened incredibly quickly. Take photos, fill out paperwork, sign names, get fingerprinted. Less than ten minutes. The staff handed out two red divorce papers. I take my share. Open it and take a look, then carefully put it back in your pocket. From this moment, between me and him... there are no longer any legal ties. Stepping out the door, the sunlight outside made me squint my eyes a bit. I raised my hand to cover it lightly. Ly Hao still stood in place, not leaving. He looked at the scroll in his hand like he was looking at a joke.

“Hua Tinh.”

He called. I stopped… but didn't turn around.

“My mother… she is sick.”

His voice carried a hint of pleading.

“She wants to see you.”

“I want to apologize.”

Sorry? I laughed. Only then did I turn to look at him.

“Ly Hao, don't you think it's funny to say these words now?”

“If apologizing works, then what is the need for the police?”

"When she came to my company to cause chaos and humiliate me in front of so many people... why didn't she think about it today?"

“When she secretly stole my jewelry… why didn't you think about today?”

“There are mistakes… once made, they are for life.”

“It cannot be repaired.”

“Go back and tell her.”

“I do not accept the apology.”

“And I don't want to see any of your family again either.”

“For the rest of my life… let's not see each other again.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. Without the slightest hesitation. Behind me, I heard his suppressed sobs. But I'm not going back. I went straight and decisively, as if cutting off a part of the past. I drove, running aimlessly through familiar roads. Lower the window and let the wind blow across your face. Turn on loud music, strong rock music. Tears suddenly welled up. But those were not tears of sadness. That is… liberating. It's the final farewell to the past. Three years of resentment, unwillingness, anger... all passed away with tears. When I got home, my mood had completely calmed down. I took the divorce papers and placed them next to the red book and car registration. Those three things are next to each other. Like the trophies I won back with myself. It is also the starting point for my new life. I poured myself a glass of wine, stepped out onto the balcony, looking at the busy traffic below and the warm lights of everyday life. I raised my glass, gently touching the air as if congratulating myself. Congratulations to Hua Tinh - who was alert enough, brave enough and decisive enough to save herself. Also congratulations on the future ahead… brilliant and full of light. This war… there are no winners. The Ly family lost everything. As for me... I lost three years of youth that should have been very beautiful. But luckily... the outcome is clear, everything has calmed down. My life… can finally begin again. Life after divorce... is even better than I ever imagined. I am in complete control of my life. Stay awake whenever you want, cook whatever you want to eat. No need to pay attention to anyone's taste, nor need to serve the whole family like before. I changed the whole house. Get rid of all the items you don't like. Buy more plants and fresh flowers, every little corner is full of life. That house… finally became a true place. My parents came to visit once. Seeing that I live a neat and mentally stable life, they can truly feel secure. Mom held my hand, her eyes were red.

"Tieu Tinh, your parents are not good, they didn't look carefully at you."

I shook my head and hugged her.

“Mom, it's not our fault.”

“It's me looking at the wrong person.”

“But it's okay… I'm awake.”

“From now on… it won't be like that anymore.”

My father stood next to me, nodding with satisfaction.

“Divorce is divorce, it's no big deal.”

"The Hua family's daughter is capable and brave, and can live very well on her own."

“From now on, this place… is my home.”

Family support... is my strongest support. They made me understand… I never fought alone. At work, I also put in more effort than ever. Mr. Vuong highly appreciated my ability and tenacity. Assign me to be in charge of a very important project. My team and I worked continuously for two months. Tired... but extremely worth it. The project was a great success. During the celebration party, President Vuong directly announced the appointment decision. Project director.
