Chapter 6 — Only 8 Currency left in Card

The palm of my hand is cold. Chu Thoi Uyen. You are really good. Because you want to force me to appear... I don't even need face anymore. But you think... Using this method... Can you force me to compromise? I calmly spoke up.

“Mom told him…”

“If you want to see me, that's fine.”

“Tell him to go wait for you somewhere.”

I read out an address. The city's largest marriage registration office. I'm not going back to my country. Just ask the company for three days off. Use remote video calling to go to this "appointment". My lawyer brought a laptop and appeared on time at the gate of the marriage registration office. Chu Thoi Uyen is indeed there. He was even more emaciated than in the photo. Deep sunken eye sockets. So skinny that it's almost deformed. As soon as he saw the lawyer, he immediately rushed forward as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Where is Hua Tham? Where is she? She's here, right?"

The lawyer turned the laptop screen towards him. On screen… Exquisite makeup. Wear neat and sharp office clothes. Behind is the bustling scene of Berlin. It's like the two of us are living in two completely different worlds.

“Chu Thoi Uyen.”

I was the one who spoke first.

“Permeate!”

His voice was hoarse, his eye sockets immediately turned red.

“I finally agreed to meet you!”

"I've been looking for you for half a month! I'm about to go crazy!"

"I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong! Can you forgive me this time?"

"My mother is about to be unable to bear it anymore! The doctor said that if she doesn't pay for the surgery, she can only prepare for the aftermath!"

“Thud” sound.

He knelt down in front of the screen. Right in front of the marriage registration office, there are many people passing by. Kneel in front of a cold laptop. Crying until tears and runny nose. There is no dignity left.

"Tem Tham, I beg you! Respect for three years of love between husband and wife, save my mother!"

"As long as you're willing to save her, you can make me do anything! I can be your buffalo or horse!"

I quietly watched him act.

“Three years of love between husband and wife?”

I laughed softly.

“Chu Thoi Uyen, those words came out of your mouth… don't you find it funny?”

“When you took my sacrifice for granted, why didn't you remember the love between husband and wife?”

"When you and your mother joined forces to plot against me, why didn't you remember the love between husband and wife?"

“You need me now…”

“Just started talking about love?”

Every sentence I say... It's like a knife sticking straight into his heart. Chu Thoi Uyen's crying suddenly stopped. His face was white. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

“You want money, right?”

I asked directly. He immediately nodded frantically like a drowning man reaching for the last lifeline.

“500,000 yuan, right?”

“Yes! Yes! 500,000!”

“I can give you a way to get money.”

His eyes immediately lit up. I slowly spit out those two words. The hope on Chu Thoi Uyen's face instantly froze.

“B… sell the house?”

He looked at me in disbelief.

“Which house to sell?”

“Of course it's the apartment we're staying in.”

"Impossible!"

He immediately shouted.

"That's our house! Where will we stay if we sell it?!"

“That's my house.”

I calmly corrected it.

"I paid for the house loan alone. Even though the certificate has your name on it, you have never spent a penny."

“Now I give you two options.”

"Rank best."

“Right here, sign this divorce petition, voluntarily giving up all ownership of the house.”

“After signing, I will immediately let the lawyer sell the house.”

“For the money from selling the house, I can 'loan' you 500,000 yuan to save your mother's life.”

“I didn't sign.”

“Let's meet in court then.”

“I will present all the evidence to prove that you are the guilty party, to prove that this house has nothing to do with you.”

“By then, not only will I not be able to get a single penny…”

“But also having to carry the lawsuit, becoming a laughing stock for everyone.”

“You choose yourself.”
