Chapter 5 — The 20,000,000 Yuan Villa and the Tham Family's Secret

The next morning, I received a phone call from the court. The Tham family has filed a request for enforcement first. The reason is that the ownership of the house is very clear, the situation is urgent, requiring me to immediately restore access rights to Tham Nghien Tri. The speed was faster than I thought. The Tham family's relationship in the locality is indeed strong enough. In just one weekend, we were able to push the file to court and even get a pre-execution decision. After hanging up the phone, I didn't panic. It took me three years to come up with this game. It cannot be because of one decision that the whole thing collapses. At ten o'clock in the morning, I appeared on time at the gate of Van Khe Son Trang. The court sent two officers to execute the judgment. The residential manager was also present. The mother-in-law stood in the front, behind there were two lawyers wearing neat suits and a locksmith wearing a uniform. Tham Nghien Tri did not come. Maybe he doesn't want to see me. That's good too. I wore a simple white t-shirt and jeans, my hair tied in an arbitrary ponytail, and my face completely bare. It looked like he was on his way to the market and then stopped by to handle a small matter. As soon as my mother-in-law saw me, she curled her lips and smiled coldly.

"Co Dien Chi, you've been causing trouble for the past two days. Shouldn't you still obediently open the door?"

She crossed her arms over her chest, her voice filled with triumph.

"Do you think that if you hold the right to the door, no one can control you? I'm telling you, the court's decision is here, if you don't open it today, you have to open it."

A law enforcement officer nodded slightly at me, his attitude still quite polite.

"Miss Co, according to the court's decision, you need to coordinate to restore access rights to Mr. Tham Nghien Tri. The ownership of this house truly belongs to him, your control of the magnetic door system has affected the owner's normal use rights."

"I get it."

I smiled.

“I fully cooperated.”

I walked up to the door, right in front of everyone, and entered a series of passwords. The door opened. The mother-in-law snorted coldly and was the first to enter. Two lawyers and enforcement officers followed behind. The locksmith carrying the toolbox stood there awkwardly, probably not expecting that his trip would be in vain. I was the last person to enter the house. The moment you set foot through the mysterious entrance, a familiar scent immediately hit you. Everything in this house... Still the same as the day I left. The betel leaf pot on the shoe cabinet is still placed there. Before leaving, I watered it, and until now the leaves are still green. The living room curtains are linen fabric that I chose myself. Sunlight penetrates the soft fabric, falling onto the floor in warm patches of light. Pillows on the sofa are arranged neatly. The coffee maker on the kitchen island is still plugged in, the indicator light is flashing continuously. It's all like... I just went out to buy some things, I'll be back later. But I know it well. I won't come back again. The mother-in-law stood in the middle of the living room and looked around, her eyebrows frowning more and more.

"Why does this house smell like this? Didn't you know to open the ventilation door before you left?"

She went to open the window, turned around and said to the lawyer:

"Look, everyone, this is the result after letting her stay for three years. The house is completely messy by her."

The lawyer only smiled wryly, not daring to continue. I leaned against the closet and looked at her appearance. There is no more anger in my heart. There is only one type of fatigue left very light fatigue. It's been three years. She always has only one way of talking.

“You did it.”

“Caused by you.”

“Your fault.”

No matter what I do, in her eyes it's not good enough.

“Aunt Trinh.”

I spoke up. The voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard clearly in the empty living room.

“My door has been opened, access rights can also be handed over.”

“But before I hand it over, there's something I need to take away.”

The mother-in-law immediately turned around, her eyes full of caution.

“My personal belongings.”

"Aren't your things already packed? You packed your luggage the other day, right?"

“There's still one left.”

The mother-in-law's eyes immediately changed. It's an extremely small change. As if she suddenly remembered something, her pupils shrank slightly.

"What is it? Where?"

I don't answer. Just turn around and walk straight towards the stairs. Mother-in-law immediately followed behind. The sound of high heels tapping on the marble surface echoed loudly. The two lawyers looked at each other and then followed suit.
