Chapter 3 — My Mother Stole 80,000,000 Yuan, And My Boyfriend Shows His True Form

Truong Thac's face immediately darkened.

"Auntie, what you said is too harsh to hear."

"If you find it hard to hear, go away."

"The door is over there."

Truong Thac looked at me, his tone softened.

"Tieu Hoa, I didn't mean that."

"It's just that I think marriage should be honest with each other."

"Suddenly I have a debt of 2,000,000 yuan, you also have the right to know."

"So now you know."

He stopped.

"So will this debt after marriage registration affect us?"

Mom burst out laughing.

"Influence."

"You two are married and are husband and wife."

"It can't pay the debt, can you just ignore it?"

Truong Thac's lower jaw tensed.

"Tieu Hoa, just talk to aunt first."

"I'll go back and think more."

He goes very fast. The bird's nest box is still placed on the shoe cabinet at the entrance. After the door closed, mom stuffed the pen in my hand.

"See?"

"The first step, it has already started calculating how much it will lose."

I opened the pen cap. The tip of the pen stops at the signature.

"Mom, what if tomorrow he still wants to register his marriage?"

Mom took off his glasses.

"Then I'll ask him one more question."

"Do you agree to sign a liability waiver agreement before marriage?"

Nine o'clock the next morning. My mother and I arrived at the notary office on time. Truong Thac arrived fifteen minutes late. When he entered, his hair was neatly combed and his shirt collar was also smooth. But the dark circles under my eyes are very obvious. Looks like he's been up all night. Mom glanced at him.

"Oh, the future son-in-law of the Truong family is still coming?"

Truong Thac forced a smile.

"Auntie, Tieu Hoa is my fiancee."

"Of course you have to come."

Mom pushed two files over.

"One copy is between me and Tieu Hoa."

"One copy is between you and Tieu Hoa."

Truong Thac picked up the second volume. As soon as he saw the title, his expression immediately changed.

"Agreement to waive premarital debt liability and independence of assets."

He turned a few pages.

"What does this mean?"

"The meaning is very clear."

"My debt is my responsibility, it has nothing to do with you."

"My property is also owned by me and has nothing to do with you."

"Your assets and debts have nothing to do with me either."

Truong Thac stared at that text.

"So what does marriage mean anymore?"

Mom immediately responded:

"Don't you love him for who he is?"

"Someone will leave it to you."

"Debt doesn't need you to bear."

"Money doesn't need you to miss it either."

"Too fair."

Truong Thac raised his head.

"Auntie, have you been so wary of me from beginning to end?"

Mom put the bag on her lap. Then he took out a set of keys from his pocket. A loud bang. She threw it hard on the table.

"I'm not wary of you..."

"...should I wait until your mother eats my daughter clean before taking precautions?"

Truong Thac tried to be patient.

"Tieu Hoa, do you think so too?"

I looked at him.

"Truong Thac."

"I can't stop my mother from taking the compensation money."

"I will pay the debt of 2,000,000 yuan myself."

"If you don't agree, I understand."

He was silent for a long time. The notary sitting next to us raised his head to look at us several times. Finally, Truong Thac spoke:

"2,000,000 yuan is not a small number."

I nodded.

"So what will you get to pay later?"

"If you don't collect rent anymore, you can go to work."

He burst out laughing. That laughter is heard not comfortable at all.

"Since graduating, I've only helped my family collect rent, and I haven't been able to work properly for a few days."

"Do you know how difficult it is to find a job outside?"

My mother tapped on the table.

"Don't speak so harshly."

"My daughter is not useless."

Truong Thac immediately said:

"Auntie, I didn't mean that."

I looked at him.

"So what do you mean?"

He looked at me, his tone softened again.

"Tieu Hoa, I'm worried about you."

"Marriage is not a joke."

"We can't just start and be under such great pressure."

"Let's postpone the marriage registration first."

"Wait for me and aunt to settle the money issue and then move on."

My mother immediately burst into laughter.

"Postponed until the clearance compensation comes back?"

Truong Thac's face immediately became ugly.

"Auntie, do you have to think I'm that bad?"

"It's not that I think you're ugly."

"But as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt the smell."

I pushed the agreement in front of him.

"Truong Thac."

"If you want to register your marriage, sign it."

"If you don't want to, I don't blame you."

He stared at me as if he knew me for the first time.

"Do you really want to force me to this extent?"

"I won't force you."

"Forcing you to sign this means not trusting you."

My mother's voice was cold:

"If you don't sign it, it means you want to profit from it."

Truong Thac turned to look at the notary. The notary coughed dryly.

"It's okay for both sides to volunteer."

"If you don't agree, you can not sign."

Truong Thac picked up the pen and then put it down again. At that moment the phone rang. He glanced at the screen. It's Vuong Que Phan. This time, he answered the phone. Vuong Que Phan's voice was so loud that it still sounded deafening through the phone.

"Did he really take all the money?"

"Is the debt of 2,000,000 yuan real?"

"Mom, tell me, this marriage certificate cannot be done."

"Our home's conditions are not poor."

"What is the basis for marrying a debtor?"

The whole notary room immediately fell silent. Truong Thac quickly covered the phone speaker. His face was red because he lost face.

"Mom, I'm outside, talk to you later."

Vuong Que Phan still hasn't stopped.

"Don't let him cry for a few words before his heart softens."

"The landlords in Nam Kieu village are very cunning."

"Maybe this is just a game to test your heart."

"I told him to give me the money."

"If you don't give it, we'll break up."
