“No way…”

Chu Huc's voice was forced out from between his teeth.

"Where did your grandmother get the money?! More than ten million yuan in one-time payment?! Who are you fooling?!"

I didn't answer him. But turned to Tien My Phuong.

“Three days ago, my aunt took from my second-floor dressing table drawer a green jade bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings, and a gold necklace.”

“Is that true?”

Tien My Phuong's face immediately turned pale.

"No! I didn't! You slander!"

I opened my phone. Play the saved surveillance video. Then put it straight in front of her. The image is extremely clear. Tien My Phuong stood in front of the dressing table, took each piece of jewelry and put it in a red velvet bag. As for the green jade bracelet... She even tried it on her hand. Video has no sound. But every move is clear. Tien My Phuong stared at the screen. Facial muscles began to twitch.

"This video is fake! You made it!"

“Fake or not…”

I looked at her.

“Let the police examine it.”

I opened another page on my phone. In the call history, a call from fifteen minutes ago was clearly visible. It's a police report number.

“I reported the case half an hour ago.”

“The content of the report includes two things.”

“First: Someone illegally entered the property in my name, changed the door lock without permission, and used and renovated my house.”

I looked straight at Tien My Phuong.

“Someone stole my personal property.”

Tien My Phuong's body began to stagger. The two feet under the cheongsam are like stepping on cotton. Chu Tieu Man immediately rushed forward.

“Lam Ha, you've had enough!”

As soon as Chu Tieu Man opened her mouth, she called someone else by the wrong name. Because she was so panicked, her mind was completely messed up.

"Lin Ha! You're just jealous because I got married! You hate me! You don't want me to live in peace!"

“Chu Tieu Man.”

I looked at her.

“The post in your circle of friends said that this villa was given to you by your brother.”

“More than two hundred guests here just heard your mother say that this house was bought by your brother.”

“More than sixty thousand people in the livestream saw it all.”

I stopped for a moment.

“Now you know.”

“Your brother has never bought any villa.”

“His monthly salary is 12,000 yuan.”

“For three years of marriage, every month I gave your mother 3,000 yuan and you 2,000 yuan.”

“The rest is self-destructing.”

“This villa is worth 16 million yuan.”

“It was given to me by my grandmother.”

“It has nothing to do with the Chu family.”

"Today you wear a wedding dress and stand in someone else's house to receive blessings."

“Is your wedding fake?”

“But your wedding venue…”

“It's stolen.”

Chu Tieu Man's face changed in just a few seconds from white to red and then white again. The wedding bouquet fell from her hand. Petals scattered all over the ground. The livestream has exceeded eighty thousand viewers. There are so many comments that I can no longer read each line. The screen is like a crazy waterfall scrolling down. To Dao sat at the edge of the party tent, her eyes always glued to her phone. Finally she couldn't bear it anymore. Stand up. Go into the middle of the most crowded guest area. But don't rush onto the stage. But standing right in the aisle between the banquet tables. Her voice is not loud. But clear enough for everyone to hear.

“Aunts and uncles…”

“The wine you just drank, the food you just ate, the chair you just sat on…”

“It's all from that girl.”

She pointed towards me on stage.

“Everyone is attending a wedding secretly held in someone else's house.”

“Turn on the livestream and watch.”

“Everyone's face is on camera.”

The whole yard started to get chaotic. Someone immediately took out their phone to look for a livestream. Someone looked left and right and then started walking towards the gate. But the gate is locked. Can't get out. Everyone is locked in a villa that does not belong to them. With a wedding that doesn't belong to me. Tran Hao's mother sat on a chair, her face pale. She turned her head to look at her son. Tran Hao has been holding Chu Tieu Man's hand from the beginning until now. He slowly released each finger one by one.

“Tieu Man.”

His voice was very light. It's like I've confirmed something... But I don't want to confirm it.

“I told you before…”

“This house was bought entirely by my brother.”

Chu Tieu Man's lips trembled.

"That's what he said! I don't know what is red book or not red book! If he says it's his, I believe it!"

Tran Hao did not say anything more. Just take a step back. Let go of the bride's hand completely. His mother stood up. The woman in the dark blue outfit had an expression as if she had discovered that the item she bought at the mall turned out to be fake.

“Old Tran.”

She turned to her husband. The voice was decisive and chilling. Father Tran Hao also stood up. He looked at Chu Huc. Then looked at Tien My Phuong. Finally look at the locked gate. He only said one word. Then look at me. I picked up my phone and lightly touched the security control panel. The gate lock immediately opened. The artistic iron gate made a "creaking" sound, opening a small gap. Tran Hao's family were the first to step out. While passing by Tien My Phuong, Tran Hao's mother stopped. Look straight at her.

“The matter of bride price…”

“We will talk again later.”

Tien My Phuong's legs were weak, she had to hold on to the flower stand next to her to stand.
