Chapter 1 — After Divorce, I Recovered Everything

AFTER THE DIVORCE, I LOCKED ALL THE SECONDARY CARDS, MY EX-HUSBANDS AND BACH NGUYEN QUANG ORGANIZED A WEDDING AND DID SILENCE AFTER PAYING. Married for eight years. He said that the white moonlight of the past had returned and wanted me to make it happen for the two of you. I don't cry. Don't make noise. Don't hold back either. I signed the divorce petition directly and decisively. The moment I walked out of the Civil Affairs Department, I immediately called the bank.

“Hello, please block all secondary cards in my name.”

He finally got his wish. A lavish wedding with his first lover was held. Five-star hotel. Thirty banquet tables. Fresh flowers covered the entire hall. After the wedding ended, he smiled proudly and took out his familiar black card to pay. The employee swipes the card once. Impossible. Swipe a second time. Still failed. By the third time, the expression on the employee's face began to become strange. She raised her head to look at him:

“Sir, I'm sorry... this card has been locked by the cardholder.”

The smile on his face instantly froze. His face was pale as if all the blood had been drained. The day Tu Khai brought Manh Dinh home. I'm stewing. The bone china bowl was placed on a small fire, the gentle fragrance spread throughout the room. He stood in the mysterious entrance, behind him was a woman. I have seen that woman in pictures. An old, yellowed photo was hidden in a secret compartment of his wallet. Tu Khai spoke up. There was no trace of guilt in his voice. On the contrary, it also brings with it a feeling of relief as if a burden has been lifted.

“Manh Dinh has returned.”

I turned off the stove and wiped my hands.

"Her health is not good, she will need someone to take care of her in the future."

I looked at him, my eyes calm. Perhaps he was a bit surprised by that calmness, so he paused for a few seconds before continuing.

“Let's get a divorce.”

“In the past eight years, I have suffered many disadvantages.”

“I know you don't have feelings for me, we're more like partners than husband and wife.”

“Now, I want to live for myself once.”

Manh Dinh leaned slightly from behind. She took his arm, looking weak and fragile. But the eyes looking at me were full of scrutiny and provocation. It's like looking at an old piece of furniture that's about to be thrown away.

“The house and car are all left to me.”

Tu Khai said generously. It's like giving a favor.

"In the company, I will still pay you dividends every year."

"I guarantee that in the next half of my life I won't have to worry about food, clothes or money."

I said nothing. Just go to the closet in the living room and pull out the drawer. From inside, he took out a document bag.

“I have already prepared the divorce petition.”

I placed the document and pen on the coffee table in front of him.

"The division of assets is as you wish, I don't need anything."

Tu Khai was completely stunned. He used to think about me crying. But I never thought it would result like this. His face gradually became unsightly. Manh Dinh's expression also became awkward.

“Have you wanted a divorce for a long time?”

he asked. I don't answer. He picked up the pen and quickly signed his name on the last page. The force of his hand was so strong that he almost wanted to cut a hole in the paper. It's like he's venting some unwillingness.

“Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

I put away the agreement and bluntly sent the guest off.

“The soup isn't there yet After the stew is over, I won't keep you two here to eat."

He took Manh Dinh and left. The sound of the door slamming was very loud. I carried the pot of soup that had been carefully simmered for three hours. Pour the entire thing down the drain. The next day. In front of the gate of the Civil Affairs Department. When I arrived, he was already waiting. There is no Manh Dinh next to him. He looked at me, his eyes complicated.

“Tran Hi, do you really... not care at all?”

“Important?”

I asked back. He choked on his words. The procedure took place very quickly. When I walked out of the Civil Affairs Department, the sunlight was so bright that it hurt my eyes. Tu Khai looked at me. It seemed like he still wanted to say something. But I didn't give him a chance. I took out my phone and made a call.

“Hello, Mr. Chu.”

On the other end of the line, a man's respectful voice rang out.

“Hello Ms. Tran.”

“I request to permanently block the unlimited black card with extension number 8888 in my name, along with all subordinate cards.”

"Right now."

“That's right, everything.”

“Including three cards being used by Mr. Tu Khai, Ms. La My Quyen and Ms. Tu Phi Phi.”

“Effective immediately.”

Tu Khai and Manh Dinh's wedding was held so loudly that the whole city knew about it. The location is the city's iconic six-star hotel. The suspended garden banquet hall is on the top floor. It is said that this place is not open to regular guests, only serving the most upper class guests. I'm not going. But my circle of friends was almost completely occupied by that wedding screen. Their mutual friend. Also my friend. Continuously post nine-frame photos and videos. Manh Dinh wore a custom-made wedding dress worth more than 10,000,000 yuan. The diamond ring as large as a pigeon's egg sparkled so brightly that it was dazzling. Tu Khai in a white suit. Tall, handsome. The eyes filled with joy of someone who has just found their lost love. The wedding party had eighty-eight tables. There were many guests. On each table are placed bottles of expensive foreign wine. Thank you gifts for each guest are perfumes from luxury brands. Fresh flowers spread from the entrance to the stage. Beautiful like a fairy tale world. La My Quyen, Tu Khai's mother. Wearing a cheongsam decorated with jewels. He took Manh Dinh's arm and went from table to table, offering drinks. His mouth was laughing so hard he couldn't close it.

“This is my good daughter-in-law!”

“Our family has finally found true love for A Khai!”

“Unlike some people, who occupy a place for eight years without giving birth to any children, so unlucky!”

Volume is not loud. But it's not small either. Just enough for everyone at the table to hear every word clearly. In the video, the expressions of the people around were all a bit embarrassed. Tu Khai's younger sister, Tu Phi Phi, also livestreamed the entire wedding on her personal account. The title is:

“My brother and his new sister-in-law are the most beautiful in the world, truly a match made in heaven!”
