Chapter 5 — The Day I Locked the Villa Door

A pen. Chu Huc walked to the table and picked up the pen. He turned his head and looked across the crowd. More than two hundred faces full of anticipation. His mother stood next to him, her eyes red, her face filled with pride. His sister held the groom's arm, her eyes full of dependence. Chu Huc bent down to look at the documents. The paper clearly states:

“Authorization letter to change housing ownership.”

In the authorizer section, write: In the transferee section, write:

“Chu Tieu Man.”

He picked up his pen.

“No, I have to go up there.”

To Dao took a step forward. I pulled her back hard.

“What he signed is invalid.”

“He is not the legal owner.”

I look at the stage.

“Even if you sign it, that paper is worthless.”

To Dao was stunned.

“So what are they doing?”

“Performing a play for more than two hundred people.”

“Done acting…”

“It's time for the curtain call.”

Chu Huc bowed his head and signed his name on the paper. The entire arena immediately erupted in applause. Tien My Phuong held the microphone and shouted loudly:

“Signing done!”

"From now on, this house will be Tieu Man's!"

“Everyone here is a witness!”

Chu Tieu Man rushed forward and hugged Chu Huc.

"Thank you!"

Chu Huc patted his sister's back.

“In the future, live well.”

Tran Hao's mother also stood up, walked in front of Tien My Phuong and shook her hand.

“It's been hard for the family.”

“We, the Tran family, keep this dowry in our hearts.”

The atmosphere of the whole wedding ceremony was pushed to its peak. Someone set off firecrackers. Someone pops champagne. On the front yard lawn, champagne foam and flower petals were splashed everywhere. The livestream girl excitedly shouted into the camera:

"Everyone! The villa costs tens of millions as a dowry! This is truly a real-life fairy wedding! Come and see!"

The number of people in the livestream increased from 1,200 to 8,000. Comments ran so fast that it made my eyes dizzy.

“Oh my god, so rich!”

“Really beautiful villa!”

“The bride is truly destined!”

"Did my brother really give this entire villa to his sister? How generous?!"

I bowed my head and looked at the continuously jumping numbers on the screen. Nine thousand. Then exceeded ten thousand. To Dao looked at me nervously.

“Are there enough people?”

“Wait a little longer.”

“What are you waiting for?”

I raised my head. Look at the scene where Chu Huc's whole family hugs each other and celebrates on stage.

"Wait until they say it to the point where they can't take it back anymore."

Tien My Phuong held the microphone again and gave another speech. Her voice under the high-power speaker effect echoed throughout the entire yard.

"The greatest pride in my life is my son - Chu Huc! He struggled in the city, bought a house, bought a car, and now gives the villa to his sister! Outside, there are some people saying what the house belongs to his ex-wife, saying what the villa is hers..."

“It's all nonsense!”

“Every penny of buying this house is my son's sweat and tears!”

“No one is allowed to take even a single brick from our Chu family!”

Speaking of the last few words, Tien My Phuong almost screamed. Blue veins appear all over the neck. The whole yard was silent for a moment. Then there was an explosion of applause even louder than before. Livestream surpassed twenty thousand viewers. Comments began to appear with other opinions.

“Wait, what does an ex-wife mean?”

"Is this villa really bought by the groom's family? Why do people say there is a problem?"

“Who knows the inside story?”

I looked at those comments. Twenty thousand people. I put my phone away. Glanced at To Dao.

“Do me a favor.”

“Post a photo Take a screenshot of Chu Tieu Man's circle of friends card and go into the livestream."

To Dao did not hesitate for a second. Immediately took out the phone to operate. Step out from behind the bushes. Through the crowd. Step by step walk towards the stage. The eyes of more than two hundred people gradually focused on me. Cream colored jacket. Dark pants. Hair tied in a loose ponytail. There was still mud on my fingertips from the balcony. My existence is completely at odds with this gorgeous golden wedding. The first person to see me was Tien My Phuong. The smile on her face stiffened at the corners of her lips.

“What… what are you doing here?!”

Chu Huc also saw me. His hand was still on Chu Tieu Man's shoulder. The fingers clenched tightly. His voice lowered, carrying a clear warning.

“What do you want to do?”

I don't look at him. Just look at the small table on the stage. Look at the "Authorization letter to change housing ownership." Look at Chu Huc's signature on it. I walked onto the stage. More than two hundred people fell silent at once. The MC held the microphone and looked at me bewildered.

“May I ask you…?”

I don't answer MC. Just stand in the middle of the stage. Facing more than two hundred faces. Faced with a series of raised phones. Opposite the livestream camera that is facing straight at me. Then open your mouth.

“Hello everyone.”

“My name is Lam Ha.”

My voice is not loud. But the two large speakers on the stage faithfully transmitted every word throughout the garden.

“The land under everyone's feet.”

“The house is behind everyone.”

“Every brick, every tile, every water pipe and wire in this villa…”

I stopped.

“It's all mine.”
