Chapter 9 — Tell My Husband's Phone Number In LV, I End My Eight-Year Marriage
I skillfully tied the direction of Chu Yen and To Tinh into an inseparable thread. Lam My Lan repeatedly said the word "good". But the anger in his voice was almost impossible to suppress.
“You just stay there.”
“Don't go anywhere.”
She hung up. I know, the first thing she will do is definitely call Chu Yen. A family storm... About to rage somewhere I can't see. I raised the cold cup of coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste flows down my throat, but it makes my mind more alert than ever. About half an hour later, the phone rang again. Still mother-in-law.
“Tam Nguyet, you and Chu Yen now, immediately go back to your old house!”
“Mom, I…”
"Don't talk too much! I don't want to hear any explanations! Bring your things and leave immediately!"
“My stuff?”
“Those three suits!”
She almost shouted.
“Bring it back to mom!”
After speaking, she immediately hung up the phone. I slowly put down the phone and looked out the window. Chu Yen's black Mercedes has disappeared. He was summoned by a series of urging calls from his mother and was going through the darkest time since his birth. I stood up, walked out of the cafe, inhaled deeply the air mixed with the smell of car exhaust. It's time to go home. Back to my home. Take back the loot that belongs to you. To that so-called family. Participate in a Hong Mon Yen meal prepared specifically for me. I started the car, then sent Chu Yen the last text message of the night. 【Mom said we have to go back to our old house tonight. Chu Yen, I'll bring your three suits.】 A while later, I sent another line. 【But whether you can wear them tonight or not... depends on your performance.】 Returning to the couple's large but cold house, I went straight to the dressing room. I still conveniently threw three giant gift boxes in the corner of the room, quietly lying there like three silent witnesses. I didn't rush to touch them, but went straight to the bathroom and filled a tub with hot water. Steam rose, covering the mirror and obscuring my face. I closed my eyes and slowly soaked myself in the warm water. The body's fatigue gradually eased, but the cold in my heart still did not disappear. I know... Tonight, the Chu family's old house will become a real battlefield. Lam My Lan called me back absolutely not to take my side. In her eyes, bad things in the house cannot spread outside. A son's reputation is always ten thousand times more important than any humiliation a daughter-in-law must endure. What she wants most right now... Is to shut me up. Extinguish everything. Restore false peace as quickly as possible. As for Chu Yen... After my constant counterattacks and his mother's anger, what will he choose? Temporarily bow your head to save yourself? Or destroy the cracked vase, completely tearing off the mask? I have to get ready. Prepare for every possible situation. After taking a shower, I felt like I was alive again. I changed into a fitted black dress and makeup that was subtle but still sharp enough. The woman in the mirror had a determined look in her eyes, and a cold smile flickered at the corner of her lips. After that, I opened three gift boxes and took out each suit. LV's high-end tailored vests are truly famous. From The materials, the cuts, the handmade stitches, all are so perfect that they cannot be faulted. I can almost imagine Chu Yen's elegant and dignified appearance when wearing them. I picked up a paper knife. The blade under the lamp reflected cold light. My fingertips trembled slightly. Not out of fear. But because of excitement. I imagined the blade cutting through the expensive fabric. Imagine the look on Chu Yen's face when she saw the three suits turn into a pile of rags. That thought lingered in my head for a long time. Finally... I still put the knife down. Destroying them is too easy. But that's too good for Chu Yen. Right now... These three suits are the strongest cards in my hand. They must be used at the most important moment. I carefully folded each suit and placed it back in its original box. After that, I slowly walked around the house, like a queen inspecting her domain.
