Chapter 6 — My Sister-in-law Secretly Stole My Dowry To Buy A Luxury Car

He looked at me desperately: "Give me a chance, I will change."

"Change?" I shook my head, “Are you planning on changing your bloodline?”

“You can't change it.” I said bluntly, “Because that's who I am.”

“I will really change…”

“Stop.” I was tired, "I don't want to argue anymore."

I turned around and went upstairs, leaving him alone in the living room. My father walked over and patted his shoulder: "Some things cannot be changed if you want to change them. You two are different from the root, trying to be together will only cause more pain for both of you."

“I really love Vu Dong…”

“Love?” My father shook his head, "Love is about protecting, not letting people get hurt. You let my daughter suffer, that's not love."

Ly Tuan Hoa left in silence. He knew it was really over between us. But everything started from the moment Ly Tam Duyet took the money. One wrong choice can destroy a once-good marriage. A month later, I officially filed for divorce. Ly Tuan Hoa tried to hold on one last time, but in the end he still signed. On the day of divorce, we met for the last time in front of the committee gate.

“Vu Dong, I really regret it.” his eyes turned red.

“Regret has no meaning.” I said very calmly, "There are mistakes, once committed, there is no turning back."

“If time could be turned back…”

“There are no ifs.” I shook my head, “We are all responsible for our choices.”

“So do you hate me?”

I thought for a moment: "No hatred, just disappointment."

“Disappointment is scarier than hatred.” he smiled bitterly, "I've lost you."

“You never really had me.” I looked at him, "In your heart, I have never been the most important person."

He opened his mouth to say something, but ended up swallowing it. Because he knows, what I said is true.

“From now on… you will definitely be happy.” Ly Tuan Hoa said softly.

"I will." I nodded, “Me too.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and left, not looking back once. He stood there, watching my back slowly blend into the crowd. From that moment, we officially became strangers. When I got home, my mother-in-law still kept blaming me for her daughter's problems.

"It's also because of that woman! Ha Tam Duyet has a criminal record, what kind of work will he do in the future, and how will he get married?"

“Mom, don't talk anymore.” Ly Tuan Hoa spoke tiredly, "It's Tam Duyet's fault."

"What's wrong? He just borrowed some money, do we need to make such a big deal out of it?"

Ly Tuan Hoa looked at his mother, truly understanding my feelings for the first time. In this house, no one will ever admit Ly Tam Duyet's fault. No one will feel sorry for the hurt I have suffered. A family like that never had a place for me.

"Mom, it's true that Tam Duyet took money, it's not wrong for Vu Dong to report it to the police." he said.

“Are you defending outsiders?” mother-in-law was upset, "Tam Duyet is your sister!"

“Vu Dong is my wife and children!” Ly Tuan Hoa couldn't bear it anymore, "At least... it used to be."

"Ever? What do you mean?"

“We are divorced.”

Mother-in-law was stunned: "Divorce? Why?"

“Because of everyone's behavior, and because of my weakness.” he smiled bitterly, "I've lost the person I love the most."

The mother-in-law didn't take it seriously: "Let's get divorced, what's the point of keeping that kind of woman? Even if there's a little trouble, she'll make a fuss." go up." Ly Tuan Hoa shook his head: "Mom will never understand." He entered the room, looked at the empty wardrobe, and was filled with regret. I took away everything that belonged to me, and also took away his joy. But all of that may not happen. If he had sided with me at first... If he had let Ly Tam Duyet take responsibility... If he had protected his wife instead of his sister... But in this life there are no "what ifs". Missed it, just missed it. Lost, just lost. Ly Tam Duyet walked out of the room and timidly said: "I... it's all your fault, sorry." Ly Tuan Hoa looked at his sister, feeling confused. The mistake started with her, but the root lies in this family.

“Tam Duyet, do you know where you went wrong?”

“You shouldn't take money from your sister-in-law…”
