Chapter 10 — Tell My Husband's Phone Number In LV, I End My Eight-Year Marriage
Coming to the office, I pulled out the drawer that Chu Yen had never allowed me to touch before. There were no secret documents inside like I thought. There was only one locked iron box. I tried opening it. The lock is very strong. I'm not trying to pry. My intuition tells me... What's inside must be very important. I took out my phone and took a photo of that iron box. Then, carry three giant gift boxes, like a warrior preparing to go to battle. I closed the door of the house. This will be the last time I leave this place as the female owner. The old villa of the Chu family is located in a suburban villa area. Strict security. The scene is so quiet that it is almost isolated from the outside world. When I drove into the yard, Chu Yen's Mercedes S-Class was already parked there. I took a deep breath, picked up three gift boxes and rang the doorbell. The person who opened the door was Aunt Vuong, the house maid. As soon as she saw me, her eyes slightly avoided. Aunt bowed her head and said softly:
“The young lady is back.”
Then quickly retreated to the side. The atmosphere in the living room was so heavy that it felt like it could turn into water. Lam My Lan sat neatly on the red wooden sofa in the chair position. Her face was gloomy. Still holding the rosary in her hand. But the speed of spinning each grain was unusually fast, enough to clearly reveal the loss of calm in his heart. Chu Yen stood in front of her, bowing her head like a child who had just made a mistake. I don't even dare to breathe hard. He changed into home clothes. But the red marks on my face have not yet disappeared. Before I arrived, he had just been severely lectured by his mother. As soon as she saw me walk in, Chu Yen immediately raised her head. His eyes contained all sorts of complex emotions. I didn't bother looking at him, just carried three gift boxes straight in front of Lam My Lan and placed them firmly on the tea table.
“Mom, I brought three suits home.”
Lam My Lan looked at me coldly. Her eyes slid from my face to the three gift boxes in front of me, sharp as knives.
"Tham Nguyet, you're really good. The Chu family's reputation is about to be ruined by you!"
“Is it me who lost face... or did Chu Yen lose face?”
I didn't avoid her eyes at all.
"After eight years of being married to the Chu family, I wonder if I have ever done anything wrong to this family. I save every penny, take care of the housework, and wholeheartedly support his career."
“What about the results?”
“He took the couple's common property out to support another woman.”
“Raised to the point of becoming a top-class VIP.”
“Raising it to the point of having another roof.”
My voice got louder and louder. All the humiliation and resentment that had been pent up all this time finally exploded.
“Shut up!”
Lam My Lan slammed her hand on the tea table. The rosary in her hand broke, the wooden beads rolled all over the floor.
“Why should I shut up?”
My eyes were red and I looked straight at her.
“Mom, I am also your daughter-in-law.”
“I am also a victim.”
“Why is the first thing Mom thinks of not comforting me, but blaming me for embarrassing the Chu family?”
“Or can the Chu family's reputation... only be preserved by an adulterous son and a patient daughter-in-law?”
Lam My Lan was speechless when I asked her. Her face became more and more unsightly. Chu Yen finally couldn't bear it. He rushed forward I tried to lower my voice but still couldn't hide my anger.
“Tham Nguyet, have you caused enough trouble?”
“Does it have to turn out like this?”
I laughed coldly.
"Chu Yen, when you hugged To Tinh lying on the bed and still texted me... did you find it unsightly?"
“When you used my money to buy handbags and necklaces for her... did you find it unsightly?”
Chu Yen's face was as red as pig liver. At that moment, Lam My Lan suddenly spoke up. Her voice was strangely calm.
“That girl... her name is To Tinh?”
Chu Yen's body stopped.
“Are you an intern at a subsidiary?”
His head bowed even lower.
“That apartment... do you buy or rent?”
Chu Yen's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible. Lam My Lan nodded slightly. Then she turned to look at me. There was no longer anger in his eyes like before. Instead... It was cold calculation.
“Tham Nguyet, this matter is truly Chu Yen's fault.”
“Mom, I'm sorry for him.”
I was momentarily stunned. Lam My Lan... Apologize to me again? But the more it happened, the more wary I became. Sure enough... In the next second, she revealed her true purpose.
“What do you want to stop this?”
“Just say it.”
“Or money.”
“As long as you obediently continue to be Mrs. Chu, continue to keep this family safe... I can satisfy everything.”
