Chapter 3
Chapter 3 — Pregnant with Heir
"This is Dr. Tran Ban's bank transaction history over the past year. Last November, he owed 80 million at a Macau casino. Three days later, the debt was paid off by an anonymous account abroad. At the same time, his wife's account received an additional 5 million." The place of registration of this phone number and the place of money transfer are both the same location." Chu Uan did not touch the phone. She slowly spoke: "Where did you get this evidence?" "I have my own way." "If you don't believe me, you can investigate yourself. With the Luc family's ability, it's not difficult to clarify these things." In the tea room, only the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves rustling outside the window remained. After a period as long as a century, Chu Uan finally spoke up. "Just now, you said it was twins?" "Yes." I pushed the ultrasound paper towards her again. "Two children. Last week's ultrasound, very healthy." She picked up the paper. This time she looked very carefully. His eyes stopped for a long time on two small bags of blood. Then, she put down the paper and rang the bell to call someone on the tea table. Phuc Ba pushed the door and walked in. "Madam." "Please come in, Secretary Truong." A few minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing a gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses entered the tea room. He is Chu Uan's secretary, and has followed her for twenty years. "Madam." Secretary Truong respectfully stood there. Chu Uan pushed my phone to him. "There are a few things in here, go check right away, use the fastest speed." Secretary Truong picked up the phone, quickly looked through the documents, his pupils shrank slightly. "Yes, ma'am." He put the phone away and turned to leave. In the tea room, there were only Chu Uan and I left. "Miss Tham, please stay here tonight. There is a guest room on the east side of the second floor, so Phuc Ba can take you there." "I will handle the rest." I picked up the cup of tea she brought and took a sip. This is a premium Kim Tuan Mi tea, with a sweet, sweet taste and a long aftertaste. Before my eyes, comments exploded: 【Fuck, fuck, fuck! Where did Tham Thanh Tu get the evidence?! In the original work, she didn't know there was a problem with the surgery at all!】 【The plot has collapsed! Completely collapsed!】 【But why is this so refreshing! The Luc family's lady's face is pale!】 【Wait, how did she investigate? The timeline is incorrect! Now she's only seven weeks old, in the original work she didn't even know that Luc Tran Nguyen couldn't give birth!】 I looked at the flowing words, raised the tea cup, smiled and took a sip. 3I stayed in the guest room in the old house of the Luc family. The room has a Chinese style, with a canvas bed made of pear wood, a To Chau embroidered screen, and on the antique shelf are a few pieces of porcelain whose age cannot be seen. Phuc Ba sent the servant to bring a change of clothes and personal hygiene items, with a polite but distant attitude. "Miss Tham, if you have any requests, just ring the bell at any time." Having said that, he gently closed the door. I sat on the small bed next to the window, looking at the carp pond in the yard. The sun sets to the west, the water surface reflects golden light, a few red and white fish alternating leisurely swimming back and forth. The phone vibrates. Lam Tham sent a text message. "Tran Ban's side is a bit unstable. Recently he is going through immigration procedures, the destination is New Zealand." I replied: "I know. Continue to monitor, if there is new news, let me know immediately." At eight o'clock in the evening, Phuc Ba knocked on the door and invited me to the dining room for a meal. In the dining room, there was only Chu Uan alone. On the long table were four savory dishes and one soup, all very simple family dishes
Simple. “Sit down.” Chu Uan signaled me to sit opposite. "I don't know your taste so I asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes." "Thank you, ma'am." I sat down and ate quietly. Chu Uan also did not speak, in the dining room there was only the gentle sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding. Halfway through eating, Chu Uan suddenly spoke up. "How old are you this year?" "Twenty-five." "Following Tran Nguyen for three years?" "Yes." "Who else is in the family?" "My parents are no longer there." I said: "There is an uncle, but I haven't contacted him for many years." Chu Uan nodded and didn't ask any more. After finishing eating, she put down her chopsticks and wiped the corner of her mouth. "I will handle Tran Nguyen's side. You can rest assured to stay here. Tell Phuc Ba if you need anything. Tomorrow I will ask the family doctor to come for a complete check-up for you." "Thank you, ma'am." "No need to thank me." Chu Uan looked at me with complicated eyes. "I didn't do it for you, but for the Luc family's bloodline." "I understand." She stood up, was about to leave the dining room, walked to the door and stopped. "Tham Thanh Tu." This was the first time she called me by my full name. "If what you say is true, you are a god of the Luc family. But if I find out you lied to me..." She didn't finish, but I understood. "I won't lie to you." I said. Chu Uan looked at me deeply then turned and left.
