Chapter 15 — After Divorce, We Learn to Love Again

I saw Trieu Ngoc Lan's lips tremble slightly. She turned her head. Looking towards my door. Finally... Quietly turned around. The sound of high heels coming was still strong and decisive. Confusion and urgency again. Four women dressed in black. With the lawyer following behind. Soon... The whole group disappeared behind the elevator door. In the hallway. Only one left... Co Tram Chu. He still stood silently in front of my house. Co Tram Chu did not knock on the door. He just stood there quietly. About two minutes passed. His voice rang out softly from outside.

"She's gone."

"Will not come back again."

The voice was even and calm. It's like reporting the results of a job. I still don't open the door.

"You should go home too."

I said through the door. The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared. I leaned my back against the door. In her heart, An An had already stopped crying. The little girl looked up at me with the same eyes as her father. I bent down and gently stroked my child's soft hair.

"That dad..."

"Everything is always late."

An An raised her tiny hand. Grab a lock of my hair. Trieu Ngoc Lan is gone. But the mess she left behind... It's still there. The next morning. My phone almost exploded. First call...

"Nim Niem!"

"Mother-in-law... no, your ex-mother-in-law just called your father!"

"She said I was living a miserable life abroad, raising my child alone!"

"You still say my company is just an empty shell!"

"Tell me you refuse to return to the Co family's house just because you're angry!"

I asked calmly.

"Do you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it."

"But my dad already believes half of it."

"He's packing his bags."

"He said he wanted to go to Tinh City to see you."

I smiled.

"Then let Dad come over."

"Just in time, I also want you to meet your two grandchildren."

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Then my mother asked softly.

"Nem Niem..."

"Are you really living well?"

I looked at An An and Lac Lac sleeping next to each other. The corners of the lips suddenly curled up.

"You live very well."

"Better than staying at the Co family..."

"One hundred times more."

Second call. It's a strange number.

"Hello Miss Khuong."

"I'm a reporter for the Financial Daily."

"Please confirm a little."

"Are you the ex-wife of the General Director of the Co Group, Co Tram Chu?"

"There's nothing to answer."

I hung up. Right after that. Third call. It's a reporter again. Then the fourth. On to the sixth. I directly switched the phone to silent mode. I turned to look at Thanh Hoa.

"Where did the news come from?"

Thanh Hoa is scrolling on her phone. The facial expression is very unsightly.

"See for yourself."

She moved the screen in front of me. On the hot search rankings. Ranked seventh is the text: #Group CEO Co Co Tram Chu was revealed to be divorced# I opened it. It's a screenshot from an account specializing in spreading anonymous information. Written content:

"The business tycoon of City A - Co Tram Chu - officially divorced his wife Khuong Niem not long ago. It is known that Khuong Niem brought his two children abroad to start a business, and the two sides also signed a divorce agreement. Close sources said the cause of the divorce was related to the mother-in-law's oppression of her daughter-in-law for many years and mental violence in the family."

The comments section... Absolutely exploded.

"Oh my god! Did Co Tram Chu ever get married?"

"Wait..."

"Two children?"

"They're twins, a boy and a girl huh?"

"Ex-wife took two children and left?"

"How cold-hearted do you have to be to make such a decision..."

"I've seen Khuong Niem's photo before."

"Really beautiful."

"The Khuong family is also a giant in the shipping industry."

"Marrying Co Tram Chu is not called climbing high."

"So the problem lies with Co Tram Chu?"

"Are you going to end up looking for a man?"

"Everyone calm down."

"This is not necessarily true."

"Someone dug up a wedding photo from three years ago!"

"Khuong Niem is so beautiful."

"But look closely..."

"In the wedding photos, I don't see her smiling."

I put down the phone.

"Who spread the news?"

Thanh Hoa shook her head.

"Don't know."

"Account just registered."

"The IP address shown is in city A."

Trieu Ngoc Lan? Not the same. She will absolutely not personally shame the Co family. Co Tram Chu's business rival? This possibility is huge. He has too many enemies in the marketplace. It's also possible... It's a member of the Co family. No matter who. The fact that this keyword climbs the rankings means one thing. The relationship between me and Co Tram Chu... Has been completely made public. My new company. Niem An Logistics. From now on... In everyone's eyes. Will always be attached to a label.

"Co Tram Chu's ex-wife."

I don't want that title. Can't stop it either. The phone vibrates again. It's Co Tram Chu.

"I know about keyword searches."

"The PR department is handling it."

I smiled faintly.

"How to handle it?"

"No time."

"The news has already spread."

"So what?"

The other end of the line was silent for a moment.

"I was going to post a statement."

"Confirming the divorce story is true."

"Also make it clear..."

"The reason is entirely your fault."

"It has nothing to do with you."

I didn't reply. A moment later. He asked softly.

"Do you agree?"

I calmly answered.

"You don't need to ask my opinion."

"If you want to say something, just say it."

"Anyway..."

"We don't have any relationship anymore."

"Khuong Niem."

"In the statement..."

"I will say."
