Chapter 6 — Tell My Husband's Phone Number In LV, I End My Eight-Year Marriage
“This… this is just a misunderstanding.”
It took more than half a minute for him to find his voice again, but the initial calmness had completely disappeared.
"I... I'm just buying for an important customer. You know our job, sometimes we have to create relationships."
"Client?" I laughed. "What kind of customer makes you so thoughtful that you prepare an entire outfit from head to toe? Or even the underwear size has already been chosen for you?"
“Tham Nguyet!”
That sentence seemed to stab him right in the sore spot. Chu Yen suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of warning.
“Don't cause trouble for no reason!”
“Are you unreasonable?” I looked straight into his eyes and suddenly saw that these eight years of marriage were a joke. "Chu Yen, look into my eyes and answer. What is that customer's name? Where does he live? Is he the leader of which company?"
I pressed closer step by step, not giving him a chance to breathe. Chu Yen's lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say a word. A lie, once blurted, will require countless other lies to cover it up. Again, determined to expose every sentence and every word of his.
“Can't talk anymore?” I put the phone away, leaned back in the chair, my voice was cold. "Okay, Chu Yen. I want my three suits back, you can return them."
His eyes immediately lit up like a drowning man reaching for a piece of wood.
“You… you really agree to pay?”
"Of course." I smiled gently. “But I have one condition.”
“You say it.”
“Since it's a customer gift, you definitely have her phone number, right?”
I looked at his gradually stiff face and deliberately spoke slowly.
“Give me the phone number of that important customer.”
"I'll personally call her and apologize, saying I didn't understand and almost sold the gift you gave me."
“By the way…”
I curled my lips and smiled.
“I also want to ask her a question.”
“Those three suits…”
“Is she willing to return it to us and our wife?”
“It's all because of your important party.”
“Isn't that right?”
The expression on Chu Yen's face now changes continuously like a color palette. He stared at me, his eyes as if he wanted to bore two holes in my face. Perhaps he never thought that Tham Nguyet was always gentle and obedient, he believed everything he said, and would one day say such words.
“What do you mean?” He asked through gritted teeth.
“It doesn't mean anything.” I still smile. That smile was like a sharp scalpel, bit by bit cutting through his fake disguise. "I just want to help you solve the problem. Look, your most important customer may not receive a gift because of my fault. As your wife, shouldn't I step in and make up for it? That's called politeness, haven't you always taught me that?"
Chu Yen slammed down on the steering wheel, a heavy sound rang out in the car compartment.
“Tham Nguyet, don't be too harsh!”
“Are you too much?”
The smile on my lips disappeared, leaving only an extremely cold expression.
"Chu Yen, in the end, who is the one who is being unreasonable? You took the money that you and your husband had saved so hard to buy bags and jewelry for another woman, yet you still blame me for being excessive?"
“That's not…”
“Not what?”
I interrupted him.
“It's not what you think? So Then I can think of a reason why you can believe it. Don't bring up the excuse of being a customer anymore, I feel nauseous when I hear it."
Chu Yen was silenced by me, unable to say a word. He angrily loosened his tie, his chest heaving violently. He finally realized that threatening or getting angry with me was useless. He changed to a different face. Chu Yen took a deep breath, her voice softened, and she even reached out to hold my hand.
“Nguyet Nguyet, listen to me first.”
“I know that when you see those transactions, you will be angry and will think wildly. It was me who was wrong, I shouldn't have hidden it from you."
I immediately withdrew my hand as if I had been electrocuted. That hand just touched another woman. I feel dirty. His movements stopped in mid-air, a look of hurt mixed with awkwardness flashed across his face.
“My husband and I have been together for eight years. Do you still not believe me?”
He started playing tricks on emotions. His voice sounded tired and helpless.
“The company is recently negotiating an extremely important project, related to whether it can be listed or not. I do everything just for my family, for our future."
For our future.
