Chapter 19 — The Day I Locked the Villa Door

The content of the lawyer's letter is roughly: Chu Huc said that during the marriage he contributed to the villa, including daily maintenance, management costs, repairs and investment in decoration. Therefore, Lam Ha is requested to pay reasonable compensation. One million two hundred thousand yuan. Lam Ha read the entire letter from beginning to end. Then forward it to your lawyer. Her lawyer is surnamed Tong. It was introduced by Aunt Phuong. Lawyer Tong finished reading and called.

“This lawyer's letter has absolutely no legal effect.”

“Personal property exists before marriage, daily maintenance is not considered a contribution to common property.”

“About the real estate management fees, I have checked, they are all deducted from your personal account.”

"As for the so-called repair and renovation costs, Chu Huc's side must provide proof of payment. But according to what I understand, during the marriage he did not have any major expenses."

“This letter is nothing more than a show of prestige.”

“Don't pay attention to him?”

"No need."

“Or I can send a response letter, refuting each one.”

“Let his lawyer embarrass himself.”

“Then respond.”

"Okay. I will send it today."

Lawyer Tong stopped for a moment.

“There's one more thing.”

“I checked with Chu Huc's lawyer.”

“I'm a new lawyer, practicing for less than two years.”

"A truly competent lawyer will not take on this type of case, because there is clearly no way to win."

“That proves…”

“Chu Huc has no more valuable cards in his hand.”

“There is one more thing to remind you.”

“The hotness of online videos has not decreased yet.”

"Two local reporters have contacted the villa's management, wanting to interview her."

“Currently, management is still blocking it according to your request.”

“Would you like to consider getting an interview?”

"Okay. Then I will send a response letter first. If there is any progress, I will report immediately."

The call ended. Lam Ha put down the phone. Tieu Ha brought two glasses of water and walked over. The girl seemed to have hesitated for a long time before finally opening her mouth:

“There are people talking in the office.”

“Discuss what?”

“I heard your ex-husband hired a lawyer again.”

Lam Ha raised his eyes to look at her.

“Why did it reach the company?”

“My ex-husband made WeChat friends with Ms. Ly in my room.”

"He posted a very long paragraph to his friends circle, saying that she had humiliated his whole family in front of everyone, saying that he would use the law to protect his rights."

"Ms. Ly took a screenshot and sent it to the company group."

Lam Ha looked at her.

“How did the group react?”

“Half feels that my ex-husband is too unreasonable.”

“The other half said nothing.”

Tieu Ha's voice is very small.

“There are some people…”

"My mouth doesn't say anything, but my heart is probably watching the excitement."

Lam Ha picked up the glass of water and took a sip.

“Let them see.”

Tieu Ha opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something more. But in the end, he still silently returned to his seat. Five o'clock in the afternoon. Lawyer Tong's response letter was sent. Contract law. Property law. Marriage law. All terms and conditions are clearly listed. But the core conclusion is only one sentence:

"Mr. Chu Huc does not have any rights to the real estate involved in this case. Any request for so-called 'property contribution' has no basis in reality or law."

The next day. Chu Huc posted another long post than up your circle of friends.

“Lam Ha, you are too kind.”

“I admit that the house is yours.”

“But you made me lose face in front of more than two hundred relatives and friends, and you still let netizens curse my whole family online.”

“Is your conscience at peace?”

“I, Chu Huc, really don't have any skills.”

“But I have bones.”

“I won't leave this matter alone.”

Below the post. Someone clicked like. Someone commented:

“You guys are really tough.”

But there are also people who scold directly:

"Do you still feel ashamed? You still talk about morality when you steal someone's house?"

To Dao took a screenshot and sent it to Lam Ha.

“Look at this joke.”

“The person who steals someone else's house says the victim is too much.”

Lam Ha just glanced at it. Do not answer Chu Huc. Also don't post anything to your friends circle. She just opened the app with the lock icon. Six surveillance frames appeared. The villa is extremely quiet. The new lawn in the front yard has been half re-laid. Half green. Half land. Like a wound slowly closing. She turned off the phone. Keep working. Three o'clock in the afternoon. Aunt Phuong called.

“The Chu Dai Quoc side has confirmed its withdrawal.”

“His superiors called him up to talk again yesterday.”

“Then Chu Dai Quoc called Chu Huc.”

“Our people heard a part.”

“What did he say?”

“The original text is…”

‘Ah Huc, this matter stops here. Don't do it again. Behind that woman there is someone backing her. I can't help you anymore.’”

“What did Chu Huc answer?”

“Chu Huc said…”

'Uncle, if you don't help me, who will help me?'"

“Zhu Daguo replied…”

'My chair is not stable yet. If you want to mess up, you mess up yourself. Don't drag me into the water anymore.’”

Lam Ha finished listening.

“Zhu Daguo gave up.”

“Give up completely.”

“What about Chu Huc?”

“On Chu Huc's side, the situation is a bit complicated.”

"Something happened to the construction materials company where he worked."

“Because the video on the internet was so popular, the human resources department called him up to talk.”

“They said his personal behavior had a negative impact on the company's image.”

“I heard there is a possibility of being transferred... or forced to quit.”

I said nothing.

"Tran Hao's side has completed the marriage annulment procedure."

“Most of the bride price has been returned.”

"Currently, Chu Tieu Man is renting a house of her own and will not return to her hometown anymore."

“What is her condition?”

“Not very good.”

"Friends circle changed to only visible for three days, all posts were deleted."

“I heard there was a period of time where I didn't eat or drink.”

“After that, Tran Hao came to see her once.”

“It's unclear exactly how.”

I was silent for a while.

“Okay. I know."

One week later. I moved back to the villa. The lawn has been completely renewed. The new turf was installed by a professional gardening company. The grass surface is flat. The green color is a bit brighter than before.
