Chapter 2 — Rain Stops, Heaven Clears
Head of the company's legal department.
“Lawyer Vuong, prepare to help me.”
“Start the process of liquidating all assets related to Thien Hang Venture Capital.”
“Yes, it is Tran Hao's company.”
“Recovered my entire investment.”
“Not even a penny left.”
“At the same time, prepare a divorce petition.”
“Ask him to leave empty-handed.”
“Tomorrow morning, I want to see that agreement on my desk.”
On the other end of the line, the calm voice of lawyer Vuong was heard.
“Understood, General Manager To.”
I hung up. The entire wedding hall was immersed in a suffocating silence. Tran Hao's face changed from obviousness at first... Turned to surprise... Then panic... Finally turned white as paper. The triumphant smile on To Nhu's face also disappeared, leaving only confusion. As for Luu Van, he was like a chicken with its neck strangled, opening its mouth for a long time but not being able to utter a word. I looked at the three of them one last time.
“Honeymoon money... remember to pay it yourself.”
“Ah, one more thing.”
I pointed to the necklace around To Nhu's neck.
"My."
“Remember to return it.”
“If not... I will report you to the police and accuse you of theft.”
I don't care what expression they will have. Just turned around and left. Behind the back. It was a moment of silence. Immediately afterwards, Tran Hao's panicked voice rang out.
"To Tinh! Stop!"
I never turned around. Getting in the car, I told Tieu Truong:
“About the company.”
Half an hour later. The car just drove down to the company's basement. Tieu Truong's phone rings. After answering the phone, he turned to look at me, his expression full of strangeness.
“General Manager To.”
“Tran Hao... is kneeling in front of the company gate.”
“He said... he wanted to see you.”
I didn't get out of the car.
“Just let him kneel.”
Tieu Truong was stunned for a moment then immediately nodded.
“Yes, General Manager To.”
I leaned back in my chair, quietly looking at the gray concrete wall of the basement. In my mind, the seven years that Tran Hao and I have been together appear. Five years of love. Two years of marriage. When I was in college, he pursued me extremely intensely. Every morning breakfast is brought. Get a seat in the library. On rainy days, hold an umbrella and wait. He is gentle, thoughtful, and almost complies with my every wish. It's not like I haven't heard the gossip. People say he's aiming for the company shares my father left me. Say a poor guy like him just wants to climb high. But I don't believe it. I always think our feelings are sincere. After his father passed away, Luu Van took To Nhu into the house. My life fell straight from heaven to hell. At that moment, Tran Hao appeared. He is like a ray of light that illuminates my life. I thought... He came to save me. Now I know. He's just another leech, wanting to drain my blood. After graduating, we got married. He said he wanted to start a business. Want to prove your abilities yourself. I took all my savings. I also withdrew the trust fund my mother left behind. To open a company for him. Thien Hang Investment. It sounds very majestic. But in reality... All projects. All relationships. All introduced by myself. The only thing he needs to do... is sit in the office and sign a few letters. So everyone respectfully called him "General Director Tran". Because of the called our future. Every day, I travel everywhere. Seven days a week. There were four days spent on the plane. Stomachache. It has become a regular thing. I thought I was trying for both of our homes. It's all just paving the way for his and To Nhu's "true love". The phone vibrated slightly. It's a photo Tieu Truong sent. In front of the company gate. Tran Hao knelt straight on the ground. He was still wearing that ridiculous groom's suit. Everyone passing by turned their heads to look. He really knows how to act. Knowing that there were many people passing by in front of the company, he wanted to use public opinion to pressure me. He miscalculated something. To Tinh I... The thing I don't care about the most is my face.
“Back to the villa.”
I told Tieu Truong. The car immediately turned around and headed towards the house. That villa... Is my private property before getting married. It's the only thing my mother left me as a souvenir. I absolutely will not let that male and female dog couple pollute that place. The car just arrived at the gate. I got to see another great show. To Nhu and Luu Van are dragging two suitcases, standing right in front of the villa door. Looking at that appearance... It's obvious that he's clearly planning to take over the guest bird's nest. Luu Van held the phone, pointed at the password lock and kept talking. Perhaps he was commanding Tran Hao to open the door from afar. As for To Nhu, she excitedly looked at the flower garden in the yard. It was as if she was the female owner of this place. I told Tieu Truong to stop the car on the side of the road. Then call directly to the villa's security center.
“Hello, I am the owner of apartment number 1, To Tinh.”
“There are currently two unidentified women in front of my villa trying to enter illegally.”
“That's right, I don't know them.”
“Please send someone to handle it immediately.”
“Also help me reset the entire door locking system.”
“Enable the highest level of security.”
“Other than my fingerprints and iris, any other method is not allowed to open the door.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Hang up the phone. I quietly observed. Less than three minutes. Two uniformed guards drove a patrol car to the spot. They went straight towards Luu Van and To Nhu.
“Excuse me, what are you two doing here?”
Luu Van put his hands on his hips, pretending to be the host.
“What does it have to do with you guys?”
“This is my daughter and son-in-law's house!”
The guard still kept his cold expression.
“We just received a call from the house owner, Ms. To Tinh.”
"She said she didn't know you two and accused you of planning to trespass illegally."
Luu Van's face immediately changed.
“It speaks nonsense!”
“I'm his mother!”
To Nhu also frantically explained.
“We are one family!”
“There must be a misunderstanding!”
“We were just following the owner's instructions.”
