Chapter 25 — After Divorce, My Ex-Husband Kneeled and Begged Me to Sign a Trillion Billion Contract
He said softly:
“This is our wedding ring.”
I looked at him.
“Giang Thinh.”
“We are divorced.”
The corners of his eyes turned red.
“I know.”
He was silent for a long time.
“I just want to give it back to you.”
I calmly replied:
“Then leave it at that.”
He still stood in place. Outside the glass window, raindrops slowly slid down. The whole office was so quiet that only the sound of rain could be heard. A moment later, Giang Thinh suddenly spoke:
“I went to the police station.”
“Listen to Bach Uyen Uyen's testimony.”
I didn't reply. He laughed to himself.
“It turns out that the drinking party three years ago was arranged by her.”
“She intentionally made you think she was forced to leave.”
“Intentionally making me feel guilty.”
“Intentionally so that you will never forget her.”
He raised his head to look at me.
“Are you very stupid?”
"That's right."
He stopped. Then the rim of the eye became even redder.
“I wouldn't have said that to you before.”
I calmly said:
“Before, I thought you would listen.”
Those words just ended. He felt like something was stabbing him right in the heart. After a long time, he spoke softly:
“If you asked me a little more then…”
“If you had revealed me sooner…”
“If when Bach Uyen Uyen returns home, you don't take her home…”
I interrupted him.
“There are no ifs.”
“Giang Thinh.”
“Every time, you have the right to choose.”
“It's just that every time, I choose to let you give in.”
He closed his eyes. A tear fell. This is the first time I saw Giang Thinh cry. But there are no more waves in my heart. It turns out that people can really walk out of an emotional episode. It's not because the other person doesn't hurt anymore. But because his pain... No longer has anything to do with me. Giang Thinh took back the ring box.
“Can I ask you one last question?”
“If there was no Bach Uyen Uyen…”
“If you had never given me the divorce papers…”
“After the assessment ended…”
“Will you tell me the truth?”
I looked at him. There was just a glimmer of light in his eyes. I replied:
“But now that answer no longer makes sense.”
“Because what really happened was…”
“I filed for divorce.”
“And you signed.”
The last light in his eyes also disappeared. He bowed his head. It was as if he had finally accepted that he had forever lost his chance to return.
“I understand.”
He placed the ring box on the table.
“If you want to throw it away, just throw it away.”
“You are no longer qualified to handle it.”
Having finished speaking, he turned and left. When he reached the door, he stopped. Don't turn around.
“In the future, there will always be a winner.”
He didn't ask me for forgiveness. Don't say you still love me. He just left quietly. The door closed. La Ninh walked in and looked at the ring box on the table.
“Mr. Ha, do we need to save it?”
I opened the box. The ring rests inside. Three years of marriage. A ring. A divorce petition. A bank card worth 5,000,000 yuan. Turns out what's left is... pitifully little. I closed the ring box.
“Let's melt it down.”
La Ninh was stunned.
"Melt?"
“So what does it make?”
I looked at the cooperation contract with Thanh Hoa Capital that had just been signed on the table. Think for a moment.
“Make it into a seal.”
“In the future, all risk assessment documents of Hoan Vu…”
“Everyone uses it to make a stamp.”
La Ninh was stunned for a few seconds then burst out laughing. Three the next day. Giang Thi Group officially announced the announcement. Giang Thinh resigned as general director. Giang Hoai Vien retreated to the second line of the board of directors. Giang Thi's new energy project has stalled. Many partners withdrew one after another. Bach Uyen Uyen was officially prosecuted for investigation on charges related to revealing commercial secrets, theft and illegal entry. Tran Tu was sued by Hoan Vu. It all ended faster than I thought. But it was also longer than that three-year marriage. The internal purification work in Hoan Vu lasted for a week. When everything temporarily stabilizes. La Ninh placed a new seal in front of me. Below are engraved four words: Risk approved. I looked at those four words. Couldn't help but laugh.
“Who thought of that?”
La Ninh seriously replied:
“Not bad.”
She placed the seal next to me.
"The first file that needs to be sealed is the decision to prosecute Tran Tu's violating projects."
I picked up the seal. The melted silver rim from the wedding ring reflects the cold light under the lamp. I dipped it into the cartridge. Then close it. A red mark appears at the end of the text. It was like I had sealed up three years of my past… A true end. That evening. When I left the company. The rain stopped a long time ago.
