Chapter 11 — Three-Year Savings Book and Fraudulent Marriage

“Mrs. Trieu, the law is the law…”

“I don't care what the law is!”

“This 1,500,000 yuan is the dowry when she marries into the Chu family!”

“Of course it must be used by the Chu family!”

“Aunt Trieu.”

I interrupted her.

"Whether the law recognizes your words or not is not up to you to decide."

“But I can tell you something else.”

I took out the second set of documents.

“This is a notice of a lawsuit against Thuy Hang Company being sued by the supplier.”

“The disputed value is 380,000 yuan.”

“Once they lose the case, the bank will initiate a process of recourse against the guarantor.”

Trieu Phuong's face immediately turned pale.

“Where...where did you get this?”

“The court sent it to my house.”

“The recipient is Chu Thuy.”

I glanced at Chu Thuy. He sat in the corner of the room. From beginning to end, not a word was said.

“And this.”

I took out the third set of documents.

“Annual report of Thuy Hang Company.”

“Last year's net loss was 370,000 yuan.”

“In the first quarter of this year, the accumulated loss was another 180,000 yuan.”

“At this rate, the company won't survive until the end of the year.”

“Aunt Trieu.”

“My company is losing money.”

“My husband stood as a guarantee for the company for 1,200,000 yuan.”

“But now you still want to take another 1,500,000 yuan from me to fix the hole?”

I spread three files on the tea table.

“This hole.”

“My 1,500,000 yuan can't cover it.”

The whole living room fell silent. Chu Kien Quoc bowed his head. Not saying a word. Chu Man held the phone in his hand and forgot to look. And lawyer Vuong has already started packing up the files. Obviously he didn't want to stay any longer. Trieu Phuong stood up and pointed straight at me.

“Very good!”

“You are very good!”

“Marry into the Chu family and don't help!”

“Now you're trying to disrupt me!”

“Aunt Trieu.”

I also stood up.

“It's not me who broke things up.”

“And my podium was already shaky.”

That night, before leaving, Trieu Phuong threw back a sentence:

“Chu Thuy, if you can't take care of your wife, I'll find someone else to take care of her!”

Chu Thuy is closed. Turn around and look at me. His eyes were very complicated. There is anger. There is fatigue. And there's another feeling that's hard to name.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“You think I'm trying to prove myself?”

“You blew up my mother's company in front of everyone.”

“What is that called?”

I sat back on the sofa.

“Chu Thuy.”

“I'm asking you one last time.”

“What are you going to do next?”

“What do you mean?”

“Your bail.”

“Your debt.”

“My mother's company.”

“Do you have any plans?”

He was silent. From beginning to end, he never had a plan. There was only one thought in his mind. Take money from me.

“I have a plan.”

I spoke up. He raised his head. Chu Thuy's face immediately changed.

“No way.”

“You heard everything I said.”

I took out the last set of documents from my bag. The divorce agreement was prepared by Tran Kien Minh.

“First thing.”

“The 1,500,000 yuan dowry money is my personal possession.”

“You don't have any related rights.”

“Second thing.”

“After marriage, no common property is formed.”

"Assets in someone's name belong to that person."

“Third thing.”

“All your guarantee debts have nothing to do with me.”

“You must sign a written confirmation.”

“The fourth thing.”

“You are at fault in your marriage.”

“Compensate for mental damage I'm 50,000 yuan.”

Initially it was 100,000 yuan. But Tran Kien Minh suggested reducing it to 50,000 yuan to increase the possibility of acceptance. Chu Thuy stared at the agreement. The corner of the lips twitched slightly.

“It turns out I've been preparing for a long time.”

“When did you start to lose trust in me?”

“Since the day you took your mother to the bank to take my money.”

He closed his eyes.

“So what if you don't sign?”

“So what if you don't sign?”

“I will take the legal route.”

“At that time, the court will investigate your entire financial situation.”

“Personal debt.”

“Guarantee obligation.”

“The whole relationship between you and Phuong Vien.”

“Are you sure you want all that exposed?”

Chu Thuy immediately opened his eyes wide.

"You said you wouldn't pursue Phuong Vien's matter..."

“Did I say that?”

He was stunned. I never said it. It's just that he assumed I would ignore it.

“Chu Thuy.”

“You have three days to think.”

“Three days later.”

“Or sign the agreement.”

“Or meet in court.”

I placed the divorce agreement on the tea table and returned to the bedroom. Before closing. I heard him say something from the living room.
