Chapter 8 — After Divorce, I Recovered Everything

“You said you are a general manager who built your career by yourself.”

“You said you loved me.”

“You said you would give me the best life.”

“What about the results?”

“You are nothing more than a freeloader!”

“Everything I have was given to me by my ex-wife!”

“Now they take it all back.”

“You immediately returned to your original form.”

“The wedding made me lose face.”

“Now the company no longer exists.”

“How long do you want to involve me?”

“I tell you.”

“I have canceled the lease contract for this apartment.”

“I told the broker to throw away all of your stuff.”

“Don't come looking for me from now on!”

The call was cruelly disconnected. Tu Khai stood in front of the closed door. Standing for a long time. Are his friends. People who surround me every day. When he opens his mouth, he calls out "Tu total". Call me brother, call me brother. Let's have fun together. When Tu Khai called to borrow money to pay off the wedding debt at the hotel. Everyone's attitude was extremely unified.

"Hello? Who is it? The signal is so weak, I can't hear clearly."

"Borrow money? Oh, I'm so embarrassed. I'm also short of money these days. My wife is very strict with me."

"Tu Khai? Ah, I remember. Let's talk about it another day, I'm in a meeting."

No one would lend him a loan. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. People's hearts are cold and hot. Reality is cruel. It's his family. La My Quyen and Tu Phi Phi after discovering that all the extra cards were completely invalid. But you can't contact me. Also starting to panic. They are used to life where they only need to show their hands to get money. Never thought this day would come. The two of them continuously called Tu Khai. Over and over again. Urge him to find a way.

"A Khai! What should I do with my bag? The deposit has already been paid!"

"Brother! I can't pay for the car anymore! The bank is about to tow the car!"

“Go quickly and find that woman and ask for money!”

“That money originally belonged to our family!”

Tu Khai still responded mechanically. But later. He turned off the phone directly. The financial empire was once his pride. It used to be something for him to show filial piety to his family. After just one night. Completely collapsed. And him. The "king" of that empire. Becoming the most pathetic wanderer again. Abandoned by lover. Being shunned by friends. Being pressured by relatives to ask for money. You are shunned. Relatives turned away. Three days later. I met him again. In the underground parking lot in the residential area. He stopped my car. Just a few days no see. But he looks like he's aged ten years. Jagged whiskers. Hair is greasy. Empty eyes. The branded shirt on his body was wrinkled like a rag. When you see me. His eyes suddenly lit up. Right under my surprised gaze. He knelt down straight. He raised his head. Look at me sitting in the car. Hoarse voice.

“You are wrong.”

“Can you forgive me?”

Car windows are very well insulated. I couldn't hear every word he said. But I can read lips. He said:

“I was wrong.”

He said:

“Please forgive me.”

There was an expression on that face that I had never seen in the past eight years. And also begging. The man always stood high looking down at me. Even when divorced, a man has a tone of grace. Now kneel in front of my car. I didn't get off the bus right away. Just quietly looked at him. Look at the man I once loved for eight years. Now it's so pathetic. There is no feeling of gloating in my heart. There is only a desolate peace left. See I don't react. He started banging his head. Over and over again. Forehead hit hard on the cold concrete floor. Makes dull sounds.

“I know it's wrong!”

“I really know it's wrong!”

The voice penetrated the car window. Vaguely transmitted to my ears.

“I shouldn't be blinded by the devil!”

“Don't be deceived by Manh Dinh!”

“The person I love from beginning to end is always you!”

“It's just you!”

“The eight years we were together were all real!”

“I'm really happy!”

“It's me, the bastard!”

“I was blinded by success!”
