Chapter 7 — One month before the wedding, the doctor gave me a piece of paper

Then he left. From the day we graduated until now, we have never seen each other again.

“Are you sure it's him?”

"Unlikely."

Diep Tieu Duong shook his head.

“But of all the people I knew in college, the one with the last name Co, who also knows the law to the point of being able to prepare this kind of document, I only think of him.”

“But how does he know about me?”

"Your post has been read more than a hundred thousand times. Maybe he accidentally saw it."

She stopped for a moment.

“But how he knows your address is really puzzling.”

“Let's leave this matter later.”

“To Niem, aren't you curious?”

“But right now I have more important things to do.”

What's more important is... Tran Due began to retaliate more crazily. The next morning when I went to work, the department head called me into the office.

“To Niem, someone called the company anonymously.”

“What's going on?”

“They said she took advantage of her position to help her friends look up other people's private information.”

“I know you're not that type of person.”

The department head rubbed his forehead.

"But the other party spoke in great detail and also confirmed that he had evidence and would denounce it to the industry association."

“The management told me to find you to clarify the situation first.”

It's definitely him.

“Chief, this is retaliation by my ex-fiance.”

“Because I annulled the engagement.”

The department head sighed.

"It's really not good if personal matters come to the company."

“The leader's idea is that during this time you should keep a little quiet.”

"I get it."

Stepping out of the office, my face was hot. Not because of guilt. But out of anger. The phone vibrates. A strange phone number sent a text message.

"To Niem, I heard you can't get married anymore? Tsk tsk, I thought you found a good person."

I don't recognize the phone number. But the tone is very familiar. Even Tran Due's ex-wife wants to join in the fun? I don't answer. Immediately after that, there was another message.

"Don't think how much better you are than me. The same face he used to deceive you today, he also used the same face to deceive me that year."

"The only difference is that you're luckier. You haven't married him yet."

I looked at the screen for a few seconds. Then call again.

“What exactly do you want to say?”

The other end of the line was silent for a moment. Then a woman's voice rang out. Carrying the fatigue of someone who has seen through too many things in life.

“To Niem, I have no malicious intentions.”

“You know my phone number, you know I canceled the engagement.”

“What do you want?”

“I read the article.”

"Even though the man in the article didn't give his real name, just by looking at it, I knew right away that it was Tran Due."

“So I want to tell you something.”

“Regarding the debt of three hundred thousand yuan.”

“I have read the verdict.”

“But do you want to hear the things that are not written in the verdict?”

I was silent for three seconds.

“Meet where?”

We met at a cafe in the city center. Chu Vy Vy is thinner than I thought. Just over thirty years old. But the corners of his eyes were lined with very deep wrinkles.

“You were more alert than I was that year.”

She raised her cup of coffee.

“I had to get married, take on debt, and then get sick to see clearly what kind of person he was.”

“Are you infected too?”

“Hepatitis B.”

She smiled faintly.

“At that time he did not have syphilis, but hepatitis B.”

“I only found out after getting married.”

“Bastard How many people did he interact with?"

“The people I know are at least three.”

“As for the people I don't know, I don't know.”

Chu Vy Vy put down her cup of coffee.

“To Niem, I'm not looking for you just to complain about my suffering.”

“I want to discuss something with you.”

“What?”

“Do you know how much money Tran Due earns each month from customers and hidden commissions at the company?”

I shook my head.

“At least fifty thousand yuan per month.”

“Off-the-books income.”

“He bought an Audi with that money.”

"In the divorce agreement, he said it was a company-issued car so it was not included in the property division."

“But in reality that car is his personal property.”

“Prepayment is betting winnings.”

“Monthly installments are paid with opaque income sources.”

I looked at her.

“Why are you telling me these things?”

“Because of that three hundred thousand yuan debt, I have paid two hundred thousand on his behalf so far.”

“The court ruling said it was a joint debt of husband and wife.”

“But I have never spent a penny of that money.”

“I want to turn the case over.”

“But I alone do not have the ability to collect evidence.”

“What do you mean you want me to help?”

“I want us to cooperate.”
