Chapter 11 — Want the house to be named after your father? So You Pay The Money

“In such a situation, calling it 'beautiful' is not an exaggeration.”

I lowered my eyes, my fingertips gently twirling around the rim of the cup

“But the Trieu family... probably doesn't think so.”

“It doesn't matter what they think.”

Duong Tinh spoke very softly

“The important thing is whether you touch their pride or not.”

“What do you mean?” I looked up.

“You exposed their calculations on the spot.”

She looked straight

"It means bringing out what they intended to hide in front of everyone. They can't keep their faces, of course they will think that you 'don't leave room'."

“So what will they do?”

To Tinh frowned

“Are you running to her company to make a scene?”

“With that type of person, they rarely make a fuss.”

Duong Tinh's voice was calm

"They will choose to create public opinion. Tell relatives and colleagues that you are 'pragmatic' and 'calculating', making yourself the victim."

“So they've started.”

I shrugged

“Just now, Trieu Truong Lam insinuated that I was 'too calculating'.”

“So how are you going to handle it?”

Duong Tinh looked at me

“Skip, or prepare in advance?”

“Prepare what?” I asked.

“Keep the evidence.”

She answered emphatically

“Messages, call recordings, and even cameras in the house sales room.”

I stopped

“Can the camera get it too?”

“Got it.”

She nodded

“The management party may not give it themselves, but when necessary, it can go through a formal process to extract it.”

“Do you think there will be a time of ‘need’?”

To Tinh asked.

“It cannot be ruled out that they are cornered.”

Duong Tinh's eyes turned cold

"For example, going to your company causes trouble, or spreading false information that affects your reputation and job."

“That sounds a bit creepy.”

I laughed softly.

“So we have to prepare in advance.”

"It's not necessary to use it, but if you hold it in your hand, you won't be affected."

“What about recording phone calls?” I asked.

“From now on, any calls from the Trieu family, you can turn on the recording.”

She clarified

“No need for any leading, just keep the whole conversation going.”

“That's a bit…”

I hesitate

“Is it like someone else's room like a burglar's room?”

“Chu An Ninh.”

The first time she called me by name, her voice became serious

"The law is not to deal with anyone, but to protect you. If you are not wrong, there is no need to be afraid."

I looked straight into her eyes, the hesitation in my heart slowly subsided. I nodded

"From now on, the Trieu family's phone... every call will be recorded."

“One more point.”

Duong Tinh added

“Don't meet them alone, especially if there's no third person present.”

“Are you afraid they will make a move?”

To Tinh clicked her tongue.

“Not that sure yet.”

Duong Tinh shook his head

“But verbal attacks, psychological pressure... can easily pull you into the trap they have set up.”

I frowned.

"For example, if they say some outrageous things in front of others, you get angry and react."

She calmly analyzed

“In the end, they just cut out a few of his sentences and told them everywhere—‘look, this is who she really is’.”

“Hearing makes me nauseous.”

To Tinh frowned.

“I can't stop them whatever they want to say.”

I breathed lightly, a bit helpless.

“You can't stop it, but you can take control of your story.”

Duong Tinh looked at me

“The important people around you should hear the truth from you first.”

“You mean… colleagues, superiors?”

“At least people you trust.”

She nodded

“If something happens in the future, they can stand Come testify, prove you're not the type of person they say you are."

“So we have to choose the time.”

I think

"You can't just come into the company and tell it like gossip."

“The rhythm of work, you understand better than me.”

Duong Tinh said

“I just remind—what needs to be prepared, must be prepared enough.”

I let out a breath

“Thank you for specially running over to talk about these things.”

“I'm just on my way.”

She smiled faintly

“Actually there is one more thing.”

“What?”

To Tinh and I asked almost at the same time.

“Recently in Hangzhou there was a case very similar to your situation.”

She put down her bag

"An unmarried man and woman buy a house, the woman puts in most of the deposit, the man asks to write down his parents' names with the reason 'for the good of both of them'."

To Tinh immediately asked.

“That girl is not as tough as you, she gave in.”

Duong Tinh said

"A year later, the relationship broke down. The male side used every excuse to refuse to transfer the name, even threatening to sell the house."

“So what happened to that girl?”

I felt my heart tighten.

“Go get a lawyer.”

She replied

“But at that time, what could be done was very limited. She only has a money transfer document to prove how much she spent, but there's no name on the register—legally, the house is the other parent's private property.”

“What's the difference between giving it away?”

To Tinh's eyes widened.
