Chapter 1 — Unlock Message 8.72 Billion After Divorce
After Receiving a Text Message of 8.72 Billion Dollars being Cleared, Ex-Husband Regrets Crazy. The divorce procedure had just been completed. Before I could even step out of the gate of the Civil Affairs Department, Luc Vien Chau's phone rang. He answered the phone, the smile on his lips could not be hidden.
"Mom, it's over. Yes, we're divorced."
Having finished speaking, he glanced at me. Those eyes were like looking at an old thing that could finally be thrown away.
"Okay, I'll come over now. Phi Thuy Loan project, right? Yes, choose the biggest apartment for Uyen Nhi."
Hanging up, he took the car key out of his vest pocket and shook it in front of me.
"To Niem, in the past three years, you seem to have done all your responsibilities. The house and the car are not yours. But I'm not the kind of person who is completely unloving. In my card, I left you 50,000 yuan, enough to rent a house for half a year."
Over the past three years, he and I have built the Luc family's construction materials company from the brink of bankruptcy to a revenue of more than 100 million yuan per year. In return, I only received 50,000 yuan. I said nothing. He added:
"Don't blame me. You already know that Uyen Nhi is pregnant. My mother said, the Luc family needs a woman who can give birth to a son."
I calmly looked at him.
"You go."
He paused for a moment, perhaps not expecting me to be so calm. Immediately after that, he laughed, opened the door of the Porsche Cayenne and stepped on the accelerator to drive away. I stood in front of the gate of the Civil Affairs Department, holding a divorce certificate in my hand. The September wind blows, bringing with it a bit of chill. At that moment, the phone vibrated. Is a message from UBS Private Bank. Dear Ms. To, your request to unfreeze assets in your name has been approved. Current available balance: 8,720,000,000 yuan. Would you like to ask if you need a private property management specialist to serve you on-site? 8,720,000,000 yuan. I put my phone in my pocket and hailed a taxi.
"Please come to Phi Thuy Loan."
Phi Thuy Loan is the most luxurious villa area in Giang Thanh, with an average price of 120,000 yuan², the smallest villa is from 8,000,000 yuan. When I arrived, Luc Vien Chau's Porsche Cayenne was parked right in front of the sales center. Through the ground-level glass, I saw him hugging Lam Uyen Nhi's waist. Next to me is my ex-mother-in-law, Tien Tu Phuong. She was wearing a brand new Chanel outfit, wearing the jade bracelet I gave her last year, smiling and talking to the sales staff while holding Lam Uyen Nhi's hand.
"This apartment! Large 230 m² apartment overlooking the river! My daughter-in-law is pregnant with her first grandchild, of course it must be in a worthy place!"
Lam Uyen Nhi rested her head on Luc Vien Chau's shoulder, blushing shyly.
"Mr. Vien Chau, is it too expensive? More than 9,000,000 yuan..."
Luc Vien Chau waved his hand generously.
"Why is it expensive? You deserve it."
Tien Tu Phuong patted the back of her hand, smiling so much that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Uyen Nhi, from now on you are the main lady in the name of the Luc family. It's not like there are people who can't even give birth to a child after being married for three years."
A few guests looking around at the house immediately turned their heads to look over. The door to the sales center has just opened. The sound of my high heels clicking on the marble floor echoed with each decisive step. Tien Tu Phuong was the first person to see me, his face immediately darkened.
"What are you doing here?"
Luc Vien Chau turned around and frowned you.
"To Niem? Did you follow me all the way here?"
I didn't bother looking at them, just leisurely walked in front of the project model, my eyes scanning the entire Phi Thuy Loan area.
"I heard there are only two large 230 m² river-view apartments left here?"
The saleswoman immediately walked over with a professional smile.
"Hello customers. That's right, there are currently only two large 230 m² river view apartments left, the price per square meter is..."
"I'll take both."
The smile on the employee's face stopped. Tien Tu Phuong immediately laughed loudly.
"Oh my god, take both? Do you know how much one apartment costs? 9,800,000 yuan! Two apartments are nearly 20,000,000 yuan! You're not even sure you can afford 50,000 yuan, so why are you ordering both?"
Lam Uyen Nhi covered her mouth and giggled.
"You came here to make a joke, right?"
Luc Vien Chau lost all patience.
"To Niem, don't embarrass yourself anymore."
I turned to look at the employee.
"Swipe the card."
I took out a black card from my bag and gave it to her. The salesperson hesitated for a few seconds, then finally accepted it. Tien Tu Phuong pouted.
"Just swipe. I also want to see how many coins she can swipe."
The POS machine made a "beep" sound. The salesperson lowered his head to look at the screen, his whole body suddenly stiffening.
"What's wrong? Can't swipe it?" Tien Tu Phuong smiled proudly.
The employee raised her head, her eyes looking at me had completely changed.
"Miss... Miss To... The two apartments have been paid in full. The balance in your account..."
She swallowed lightly, not daring to read the number on the back. Tien Tu Phuong's face immediately changed.
"No way! It's just a..."
"Mom, don't rush."
Luc Vien Chau interrupted her and walked to the transaction counter.
"The system must have made a mistake. It's okay, just pay for my apartment first."
He took his bank card and gave it to the employee. She took it and swiped it once. Then he smiled apologetically.
"Sorry sir. Your account has been frozen, transactions cannot be made."
The smile on Luc Vien Chau's face stiffened.
"Frozen? What do you mean?"
Tien Tu Phuong grabbed the card.
"Swipe again!"
The employee complied, then shook his head.
"Sorry, the account has indeed been frozen."
Luc Vien Chau suddenly turned to me.
"To Niem! Are you playing tricks?"
I calmly put the black card in my bag.
"Luc Vien Chau, do you really think that Luc Thi Construction Materials Company has been able to survive for the past three years?"
His face was red.
"What do you mean?"
"Go back and check and you'll know."
Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. Behind him, Tien Tu Phuong's high-pitched screams immediately rang out.
"Stop! Tell me clearly!"
