Chapter 7 — When I No Longer See Them As Family

"Every month she takes a sum of money from Khuong Vi under the pretense of sending it to her mother's house."

“But that money…”

"Not a single penny is missing, it's all spent on him."

“She bought him a car, bought him a watch, rented a luxury apartment for him to live in.”

“While Khuong Vi is still crazy because of his gambling debts.”

“You took your husband's money…”

“Go keep a lover.”

"Now I'm pregnant and I don't know whose child it is, and I want to take over my house to make a home for you and your lover."

“Don't you see that your abacus is too big?”

Every word I say. Luu Van's face turned a little whiter. Until the end. She was as white as a corpse. The whole body went limp and fell onto the chair. Luu Van right now... He doesn't even have the strength to argue anymore. The receiver slipped from her hand and fell onto the table with a dry thud. I looked at her expression as if she had lost her soul and continued to speak.

“I will hand over these photos and documents to the police as new evidence.”

"It will also 'accidentally' be seen by your husband who is still lying in the interrogation room, dreaming of the life of a good wife and good children."

“I really want to know…”

“When Khuong Vi discovered that he was not only being cuckolded, but also had to raise someone else's child…”

“How will he react?”

"Would he confess everything because he wanted to reduce his crime?"

“For example…”

“Who came up with the idea of taking over my house in the first place?”

Luu Van suddenly raised his head. His eyes were filled with fear and extreme pleading. She shook her head frantically. In the throat, only intermittent distorted sounds were emitted.

“No… don't…”

I stood up and looked down at her from above. Like looking at a dirty insect.

“The baby in your belly really cannot be without its mother.”

“But prison…”

“Maybe this is the most suitable place for it.”

“At least there, he won't learn how to be greedy, cruel, and stupid like you.”

I turned around and left. Lawyer Ly walked behind me. The meeting room door closed. Blocking Luu Van's heart-wrenching scream of despair behind him. The sky outside is a rare blue. Lawyer Ly walked next to me and said in a low voice:

“Miss Khuong, this attack of yours really pulled out the wood from the bottom of the pot.”

“Luu Van's psychological defense has completely collapsed.”

“Next, she will be the most useful card in our hand.”

I didn't reply. Just took out his phone, sent an encrypted file to police officer Truong. The content inside is all the evidence of Luu Van's adultery. Including photos, videos, and all of the other man's personal information. I believe police officer Truong knows how to use this piece of evidence. Afternoon. I received an unexpected but reasonable call. It's my second uncle calling. Among my relatives, he is a person of quite high status. As soon as the phone was connected, a familiar, teaching tone was transmitted.

“Khuong Nghien, it's my second uncle.”

“I heard about your mother and your younger brother.”

“How could you do such a cruel thing?”

“No matter what, those are my biological mother and biological younger brother.”

"If a family has something to do, it's okay to just close the door and talk to each other. Why do we need to make such a big deal of going to the police station?"

"I'm a girl, do I still need fame?"

I'm quiet listen quietly to what he said. Don't interrupt. Didn't object either. Wait until he speaks until his throat is dry and he has to stop to breathe. I just leisurely opened my mouth.

“Second uncle, are you done talking yet?”

He stopped.

“Ah… done.”

“So now you listen to me say a few words.”

“First of all, I don't want to make a scene.”

"They broke into my house first, destroyed my property worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and wanted to use a fake red book to kick me out of my own house."

“They don't remember that we are family.”

“Second, Khuong Wei owes more than three million yuan in gambling money from outside.”

“He set this whole thing up just to take my house and use it to pay off the debt.”

“I feel…”

“Is this what a younger brother should do?”

The other end of the line was silent. I could hear my second uncle's heavy breathing. I continue.

“Third, it is also the most important thing.”

“Second uncle, do you know what Khuong Vi used to borrow money to gamble?”

“He not only wiped out Dinh Tue's retirement money…”

"And also secretly used your name to borrow 300,000 yuan from outside."

“On the loan papers there is your signature and fingerprints.”

“Of course it's all fake.”

“The lender is Long Ca in the west of the city.”

“I heard his rule is…”

"Whoever's name is on the paper, then find that person to collect the debt."

“Tell me…”

“Does this debt count on your head?”

The other end of the line fell into dead silence. For almost half a minute. The second uncle's voice rang out, carrying both panic and anger.

“That beast dares to do that?!”

“I beat him to death!”

"Khuong Nghien, is what you said true? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"A photocopy of the loan document, I will send it to you immediately."

"I asked someone to get it from Long Ca's junior."

"Long Ca said he would respect you so he won't touch you for now."

“But money…”

“Not even a penny is missing.”

“If not, he will tell you why the flowers are so red.”

I hung up. Then send a photo of the prepared loan document.
