Chapter 24 — After Divorce, My Ex-Husband Kneeled and Begged Me to Sign a Trillion Billion Contract

I sit in the chair position. La Ninh distributed the internal monitoring report to each person.

"Mr. Tran Tu is suspected of violating regulations by illegally contacting outsiders, revealing inheritance examination information and interfering in the cooperation appraisal process."

"Based on the company charter and special provisions in the will, we propose to officially dismiss the position of board member and pursue legal liability."

An elderly shareholder frowned slightly.

“Tran Tu has been in Hoan Vu for many years.”

“If suddenly dismissed, will it cause discontent from outside branches?”

I looked at him.

“So what do you mean?”

He coughed loudly.

“I mean…”

“It can be handled internally first.”

“At least save some face.”

I laughed.

“Face.”

Those two words. I've been listening too much lately. Giang Thinh told me to save face and give up my seat. Giang Hoai Vien told me to stop for the sake of Giang Thi's dignity. Even the board of directors wanted me to leave some dignity for Tran Tu. I pushed a file into the middle of the table.

“These are three projects that Tran Tu has been directly in charge of in the past three years.”

“The two projects have related transactions.”

“A project showing signs of transferring benefits abroad.”

“The total amount exceeds 800,000,000 yuan.”

The shareholder's expression immediately changed. I continue:

“This matter cannot be resolved internally.”

The meeting room was completely silent. I looked at each of them one by one.

“I sit here today.”

“It's not to discuss love matters with you.”

“Hoan Vu is not the Lam family's nursing home.”

“It's not even a place where someone can use old merit in exchange for immunity from liability.”

“Tran Tu must be investigated.”

“Giang Thi must be investigated.”

“Anyone with a problem.”

“Everything must be investigated.”

No one spoke up anymore. Chu Minh Le sat next to him. A smile finally appeared in his eyes. The vote was quickly passed. Tran Tu was officially dismissed. When the meeting ends. La Ninh gave me an envelope.

“Lawyer Chu asked me to pass it on to you.”

The envelope was very old. Above is my grandfather's familiar handwriting. Ha Kieu opened it himself. I hold the envelope. Suddenly I didn't dare to open it. Chu Minh Le stood at the door.

“He left it to you.”

I opened the envelope. Inside there was only a sheet of paper. Grandfather's handwriting is still as bad as ever. Kieu Kieu, if you can read this letter, it means you have been gone for three years already. Maybe you once loved someone who didn't deserve you. You may also have been looked down upon, hurt, and pressured by others to the point of doubting yourself. But all that is not shameful. When he was young, his grandfather also looked at the wrong person. But you must remember. Loving the wrong person is not a failure. Losing yourself because of an unworthy person is a failure. I looked at those words. The bridge of my nose suddenly stings. During the past few days. This is the first time I want to cry. Not because of Giang Thinh. It's because of my grandfather. It turns out he had thought of everything. Thinking about falling in love with someone. The thought of me getting hurt. Thinking about it, I won't be willing. He did not set a cold test like "not allowed to be moved". He just wanted to know. After being touched. Do I still have enough strength to bring myself back? Last line in the letter: Don't be afraid to admit that you were once in love. But you must always have the ability to leave. I folded the letter. Chu Minh Le looked at me.

“Now do you understand why he brought you to the Giang family's house?”

I replied softly:

“I understand.”

The Giang family has never been a tribulation used to test me. It's a mirror. Let me see the world. There is arrogance there. There is contempt. There are benefits. There is a kind of false appearance. And the love that I once truly wanted to believe in. I stayed there for three years. Not to prove that I know how to be patient. Which is to prove that. When leaving. I'm still myself. It started to rain outside the Hoan Vu building. I stood in front of the ground-level glass window. Seen below is a familiar car. Black Bentley. Giang Thinh's car. La Ninh walked in.

“He's been waiting down there for two hours.”

I don't turn around.

“Tell security to invite him away.”

“He said he had something he wanted to return to you.”

I stopped.

"Wedding ring."

I was silent for a few seconds.

“Let him up.”

Five minutes later. Giang Thinh appeared in front of the general director's office. He looked even more haggard than the day of the press conference. The suit is wrinkled. Dark circles under the eyes are very obvious. The corner of the lip still has a wound that hasn't completely healed. In his hand he held a black velvet box. La Ninh stood right outside the door. Never closed. Giang Thinh saw that. The bitterness in his eyes became even stronger. The day before. He refused to make me public. And now. I also won't give you any more ambiguous private space. He walked in front of me. Put the box down.

“My wedding ring.”

I took a quick look. That ring. I wore it for three years. The design is very simple. Because it's a secret marriage. Can't be too ostentatious. That year Giang Thinh once said. Wait until it's appropriate. I'll buy me a better one. Not anymore after that. I don't accept it.

“You handle it yourself.”

Giang Thinh's fingers trembled slightly.

“You don't need it anymore?”

"No need."
