Chapter 10 — One Card, Exposing the Whole Family

She turned to look at Ly Hao sitting on the sofa, his face as gray as ash, his eyes empty.

"What... what did mom say? What do you mean by going to jail?"

Ly Hao did not answer. He just bowed his head, his hands buried in his hair, as if his soul had been drained out. Luu Mai cried as she recounted the whole story at Tu's house, adding salt and salt to make it even more tragic. When he heard "one thousand thousand" and "theft", Ly Manh's face turned pale. She's not stupid, she understands what that means.

“It can't be… why is there a million in the card… isn't it just a few hundred thousand…”

"It's us who are stupid! It's us who are greedy!"

Luu Mai sat down on the ground, beating her thighs and crying.

“I thought I caught a big fish, but unexpectedly I hit a shark!”

“People have long seen through us, setting traps for us to jump in!”

The whole room was covered with despair and fear. Crying until she was exhausted, Luu Mai gradually quieted down, wiped her tears and slowly stood up, an evil glint in her eyes. Her familiar cleverness and calculation resurfaced.

“It can't stay like this.”

“The Tu family has money and power, they want to push us away empty-handed, and they also want to send my son to jail, it's not that easy!”

Ly Hao looked up, his eyes empty.

“So… what else can we do?”

“The lawyer said, we are the wrong side, we can't get anything…”

“If it's not hard then it's soft!”

Luu Mai narrowed her eyes, her voice full of calculation.

"What do people with money fear most? Face, reputation!"

“We are empty handed, what are we afraid of them!”

Ly Manh suddenly understood and his eyes lit up.

“Mom, what you mean is…”

"Let's go online and talk! Go to the company and they're causing chaos!"

“Make it big, let everyone know!”

"Say that the Tu family uses their power to bully people, say that Tu Nhuoc Nhien is promiscuous and cheats on marriage!"

"Says she took the money to raise her son, but we found out and came back to bite her!"

“Your mouth is yours, you can say whatever you want!”

“At that time, the Tu family did not give us any new benefits because of their reputation!”

This plan is poisonous to the core. A type of shameless cheating. Ly Hao was stunned after hearing this, his eyes flashed with hesitation.

“Mom… doing that… is not okay…”

“Isn't that slander?”

“Does it matter whether it's okay or not?”

Luu Mai pointed straight at his head.

"You're having a knife pressed against your neck! If you go to jail, your life will be over!"

"How much is your face worth? Can you eat it?"

“As long as they get the money, they just withdraw the application, so what if they get cursed a few times!”

Ly Manh also chimed in, his voice full of excitement.

“Brother, mother is right!”

“On the internet, everyone loves the weak!”

"If I just pretend to be pitiful and say she's a little evil, public opinion will naturally be on my side!"

“I'm used to this, let me write!”

Seeing his mother and sister completely lose control, the last bit of conscience in Ly Hao was swallowed by greed and fear. He cannot go to jail. His life couldn't end like that. If Tu Nhuoc Nhien doesn't give him a way to live, then he doesn't need to retain any humanity anymore. He nodded slowly, his eyes becoming gloomy.

“Okay, do it mom's way.”

"Not only did I post online, I also went to their company to cause chaos."

"I can't live in peace, and she can't live in peace either."

A storm of public opinion aimed at me, silently incubated in that dark room. They thought that they could force me to bow my head. But they don't know, every wrong step... is only pushing themselves deeper into the abyss. The next morning, I was with lawyer Truong's team discussing details of the divorce agreement when my brother walked in holding a tablet, his face dark as if about to explode.

“Nhuoc Nhien, look at this.”

He gave me the tablet. On the screen was a very hot local forum, a post pinned to the top, the title in bold red letters. 【Poor guy shed tears denouncing: marrying a millionaire with hundreds of billions of assets was the biggest mistake of my life】 I opened the article. The content inside... really opened my eyes. The poster claimed to be Ly Hao's college friend. He couldn't stand the sight of "good brothers" being bullied, so he stood up and spoke fairly. In the article, Ly Hao is portrayed as a poor but diligent, filial, and sincere guy. And I... became an arrogant lady, spent wastefully, and looked down on poor relatives. Each paragraph turns white into black, blatantly distorting the truth. Saying this marriage means I "marry low" and my family climbs high. It is said that the bride price and gold and silver are all the family "tried to borrow to make ends meet". Saying that Luu Mai just wanted to "keep" the dowry card, but I was overdoing it, insulting my elders. Saying that Ly Manh only likes a bracelet that is "not worth the money", I accused her of being a thief. The most cruel part is the part about 4S.
