Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — The day my sister-in-law tore up the debt papers, I caused the entire Giang family to collapse
“We wouldn't have gotten to this point today!”
My voice got louder and louder. Emotions were finally completely out of control. All the humiliation and anger that had accumulated for half a year... At this moment, it finally exploded.
“Giang Phong.”
“Touch your conscience and ask.”
“Are you worthy of me?”
“Is it worthy of my parents?”
He was so pressured by me that he kept backing away, his face as white as a sheet of paper.
“I… I didn't think it would turn out like this…”
“My sister is not normally like that…”
I directly interrupted his weak excuse.
“I don't want to hear any more of this nonsense.”
I stuffed all of his clothes into the suitcase, yanked the zipper shut, and pushed it straight to his feet.
“I've finished packing my things.”
“My lawyer will send you the divorce agreement tomorrow.”
“Please get out of my house.”
Giang Phong looked at the suitcase at his feet, then looked at my determined face. He knows very well... This time it's really irreversible. The pleading in his eyes gradually turned into resentment.
“Okay… very good, Tran Hi.”
“You are truly toxic enough.”
He gritted his teeth.
“I think I'm getting divorced…”
“Will you have it all easily?”
“Houses? Vehicles?”
“I tell you, it's impossible!”
“My parents won't agree!”
“The Giang family will not let this matter go!”
“Let's go to court!”
“I will let everyone know…”
“What kind of heartless and cruel woman are you!”
After throwing back those harsh words, he pulled his suitcase, without turning back, slammed the door and left. The sound of the door closing was so loud that the whole house seemed to vibrate. In the large room... In the end, I was alone. My legs are soft. Lean your back against the wall, slowly sink to the floor. Tears finally refused to listen and fell. It's over. The marriage that I worked so hard to build... In the end, it ended in the most disastrous way. The phone suddenly rang.
“Hi Hi, don't be afraid.”
"When soldiers come, block them, when water comes, cover them."
“If they dare to cause trouble, I will play with them to the end.”
I wiped my tears and then laughed.
“Um, I'm not afraid.”
What else do I have to fear? The hardest time… I've made it through. The Jiang family's counterattack... Came faster than I thought. More shameless than I thought. They did not choose to follow the legal process. Because they know very well... The prenuptial agreement with all the black and white paper leaves them with no chance of winning. So they chose the most disgusting way. But also the most effective. That is... an attack on public opinion. After just one night. I have become a "celebrity" in my circle of acquaintances. My mother-in-law, Trieu Que Lan, cried and told all her relatives and friends how her "evil snake and centipede" daughter-in-law had planned the Giang family's plan. She said I was greedy for the Giang family's property. Forcing her daughter's company into bankruptcy. Put her daughter in jail. Now they want to kick their only son out of the house to appropriate the property. She spoke so vividly... As if she were the real victim. Trieu Que Lan cried and talked, tears and nose running down her face. Outsiders who don't know what's going on will really think I'm the kind of cruel woman who can't be cured. Giang Phong also refused to sit still. He Posted a long post in our mutual friends group. From how difficult it was to know each other, to fall in love, to get married... To suddenly changing their tone and starting to condemn my "change". Say I've become materialistic, cold, and unfilial. Because of money, he turned against his relatives. In a moment, all kinds of rumors and controversies came like a snowstorm. There are people behind me pointing and gossiping. Someone sent a WeChat message to "advise" me:
"After all, we are husband and wife, there is no need to be so cruel."
Even the company leader called me up to talk, hinted at my family's situation, and reminded me to "pay attention to the impact". It was like I was completely isolated. It's like the whole world is on the opposite side of me. But I don't explain. Because I know very well... Explaining to people who only want to believe what they want to believe is the most meaningless thing in the world. I just quietly blocked and deleted each person from my contact list. I received a call from Giang Phong's father. The man who has always lived in the Giang family always plays the role of a "good guy", speaks little and rarely interferes in family matters. This is the first time he proactively contacted me.
“Tran Hi, let's talk.”
His voice was low, carrying a majesty that did not allow refusal. I agree. This is the final negotiation. The meeting place is a tea shop. Giang Phong, his father and his mother were all present. A fully furnished house. Trieu Que Lan's eyes looked at me as if he wanted to breathe fire. As for Giang Phong, he was visibly haggard, his eyes full of resentment. Only Giang Duc Hai remained calm.
“Tran Hi, we don't need to beat around the bush anymore.”
