Chapter 2 — The Day I Overthrew My Husband's Family

I looked at him, then looked at the aggressive mother-in-law.

“Now you see it's a joke?”

“When your son slept with another woman outside, why didn't you see it as a joke?”

Luu Ngoc Mai's voice immediately rose.

“What's wrong with men going out to have fun!”

"It's not because your belly doesn't know how to give birth! If you give the Chu family a grandson, does Van Ban have to go out and find someone?"

She clearly had no reason, but she still tried to throw all the dirty water at me. All mistakes are pushed towards me. Hearing that, Ly Thien Thien's mother immediately seemed to have found an ally.

"That's right! The in-laws are so right! The root is in her!"

The two sides were immediately on the same battle line. As if I were the heinous criminal. Chu Van Ban's head was covered in sweat.

"Nguyet Nguyet, don't listen to my mother's nonsense, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."

He is still acting, playing the role of a deeply in love but helpless man. I looked at him, with only disgust in my heart. I turned to Ly Thien Thien.

“Didn't you say he was very enthusiastic about you?”

Ly Thien Thien was stunned. I walked step by step in front of Chu Van Ban. Right in front of everyone, I looked him straight in the eyes. Those eyes that once made me believe they were so sincere.

“Chu Van Ban.”

"Do you dare, right here, to tell everyone again the 'unspeakable suffering' that last night you knelt down and begged me for?"

The words just ended. Chu Van Ban's face immediately lost all color and became as white as paper. My words came out like a bomb exploding in the middle of the room. Everyone was stunned.

“Suffering is hard to talk about?”

In the end, what is suffering? Luu Ngoc Mai was the first to react, she looked at her son with suspicious eyes.

"Van Ban, what is so difficult to talk about? What nonsense is she talking about!"

Ly Thien Thien's parents also looked at each other, clearly not understanding what was going on. Only Chu Van Ban stood still, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word. There was no longer panic in his eyes… but fear. A kind of fear when the secret is exposed, chilling to the bone. Ly Thien Thien also realized something was wrong. She looked at Chu Van Ban and cautiously asked: "Van Ban... what is that so-called suffering...?" Chu Van Ban didn't look at her, just stared at me like he was looking at something scary. I laughed.

“It seems you don't dare say it.”

"No problem."

I waved my hand, my voice light.

“Go inside, don't stand outside the door anymore.”

"What's going on? Let's sit down and talk it out."

I turned around and went into the living room first. They hesitated for a moment, then followed one after another. The air in the living room was heavy and stuffy. I sat down on a single chair like the host. And they crowded onto the long sofa opposite, as if waiting for judgment. Luu Ngoc Mai couldn't bear it anymore.

"Tham Nguyet! Don't come here and play mysterious tricks! What's the matter!"

I didn't bother to answer. I bent down and took out a file bag from under the coffee table. Right in front of everyone, I pulled out a piece of paper, placed it gently on the table, and pushed it towards Chu Van Ban.

“Chu Van Ban, look at this first.”

His eyes fell on the paper, his pupils shrank sharply. It's a male fertility test result. Half a year ago, I secretly took his sample and tested it myself. Result write very clearly. Diagnosis: azoospermia. A man… is physiologically completely unable to get any woman pregnant. Luu Ngoc Mai also saw the title and immediately grabbed it.

"What is this! Let me see!"

She wore old glasses and read every word. The more I read, the more my face changed. From red… to pale… then white. Finally, her hand shook like a leaf in the wind.

“No… no way…”

"This is definitely fake! You faked it!"

She raised her head and roared like a cornered animal. I didn't even bother to blink.

“Whether it's fake or not, ask your son to know.”

“Or now let's go to the hospital and get checked again.”

“I'll go with you.”

Luu Ngoc Mai's eyes immediately turned to Chu Van Ban. He bowed his head, his whole body seemed to have lost its spine. The last hope in her heart was shattered. She sat down on the sofa, muttering silently.

“How is it possible… how is this possible…”

Only now did she understand how laughable it was for her to scold me all these years that "women don't know how to give birth". The person who really had a problem... was her son whom she considered a treasure. Ly Thien Thien's parents also stopped by to read the report. After watching, their expressions were extremely unique. Surprise, indignation, and even humiliation for being tricked. Ly Thien Thien felt even more like being struck by lightning. She looked at Chu Van Ban, not daring to believe it.

“So… you originally couldn't?”

That blurted sentence was like a resounding slap. Hit Chu Van Ban and Luu Ngoc Mai straight in the face. Chu Van Ban bowed his head even lower. As for Luu Ngoc Mai, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she immediately went crazy.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

"You slut! You seduced my son!"

Ly Thien Thien's mother was also not average, she immediately counterattacked.

"Your son can't do well, and you still have the face to blame my daughter?"

“You whole family are a bunch of scammers!”

The two sides immediately entered into an argument. Noisy to the point of chaos. A drama... so beautiful. I quietly sat and watched, waiting until they were almost tired of arguing. I just took out the second piece of paper from the file bag. Gently tap on the table top.

“Everyone, don't rush.”

“Good drama… it's not over yet.”

All eyes turned to my hand. I pulled out the paper. The title clearly states: "Family support and property transfer agreement." I spread it out on the table.

“Chu Van Ban, this version… are you sure it's not strange to you?”

He raised his head, and as soon as he saw it, his face was no longer pale. It's gray like ashes. The content is very simple. Party A is Chu Van Ban. Side B is his cousin, Chu Van Hao. Both sides agreed that Chu Van Hao and his wife would use artificial insemination to "help" us have a child. In return, Chu Van Ban will transfer to Chu Van Hao a house in his name and ten percent of the company's shares. As for Ly Thien Thien's existence... just a cover. A tool to force me to divorce, or force me to accept this wild agreement. Once I agree, she will be kicked away immediately. If I don't agree, they will blame me for not being able to have children and force me to leave empty-handed. After that, Chu Van Ban will solemnly join another woman to complete the plan of "borrowing the seed to give birth". This is no longer adultery. This is a plot from start to finish. A trap aimed directly at me. As for me… is the sacrifice they are about to push onto the chessboard. Ly Thien Thien's face was completely pale, white as paper.

“Tools…” she muttered, her voice shaking.

“Just a tool?”

She suddenly turned to Chu Van Ban, her high-pitched voice seemed to rip through the air.

"Chu Van Ban! Is this true?"

"Tell me! Everything written in there is fake, right!"

Chu Van Ban was limp on the sofa like a puddle of mud, not daring to look at her once. Ly Thien Thien's mother was the fastest to react. She grabbed the agreement, her eyes glued to each clause.

“House… shares… transferred to Chu Van Hao?”

"What about my family's Spay? Nothing?"

In just a second, she understood everything. Their entire family... from beginning to end was just a farce in the hands of others. She trembled with anger, pointed directly at Luu Ngoc Mai's face and scolded.

"Very well! You Chu family are very calculating!"

“Use my daughter as a tool and take it out on your daughter-in-law!”

"When you're done, kick us out? What do you guys have in mind?"

Luu Ngoc Mai is also a mess right now. Looking at her son's useless appearance, she was both angry and frightened. But we still have to try to save it.

“Master, don't get excited, this... is all a misunderstanding.”

“We also intended to compensate Thien Thien…”

“Misunderstanding?”
