Chapter 11 — After the marriage was annulled, I withdrew all capital from his house

Court summons. Notice of debt recovery from the bank. Giang Thi... Fell down. Liquidation of assets. Payment of debts. Cancellation of legal status. After completing the entire process... Giang Thi Group has existed for decades... Finally, it is only a thing of the past. Events in this marketplace... Completely extinguished the will that had just been rekindled in Giang Du An. Sharpness. Pride. All disappeared. His father promptly transferred part of his property. Don't leave the Giang family completely empty-handed. Although he cannot continue to live a glorious life like before... But it is still enough to live peacefully and simply for the rest of his life. The late autumn wind has begun to bring cold air. I happened to meet Giang Du An on a street. Haven't seen him in a few months... He's lost a lot of weight. He was only wearing a simple plain colored hoodie. Between the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, there is a tired look. There was no longer any enthusiasm like the day he stood in front of me demanding an annulment of the engagement. Seeing me... He spoke in a hoarse, low voice.

“Now…”

“You probably understand me better now.”

“The words you said that day…”

“Every sentence, every word is reality.”

“You're too cocky.”

“Too self-righteous.”

“It's you...”

“I single-handedly destroyed everything of Giang Thi.”

I looked at the leaves along the road and said softly:

“In business...”

“The human heart is the strongest foundation.”

“You neglected everyone's livelihood.”

“Of course it won't keep people's hearts.”

"I can't keep my business."

“Jiang Yu An.”

“Look at these falling leaves.”

“Once you leave the branch…”

“Then there will never be a return.”

“Just like Giang Thi Group in the past.”

“Wrong…”

“That's wrong.”

“What has passed…”

“It cannot be saved anymore.”

"That's right."

“The things that have been done…”

“It can't be changed anymore.”

“No matter how much you regret that choice now.”

I bowed my head, looked at the leaves lying under the tree and then slowly said:

“Once the leaves on the branches have fallen…”

“Then the lushness of the past will never return.”

“But when it falls to the ground…”

“It will rot.”

“Meld into the earth.”

“Eventually becomes a nutrient that nourishes the roots.”

“As long as you still have faith to keep trying…”

“Then one day…”

“Giang Thi can still stand up again.”

Giang Du An raised his head and looked at me. In the depths of his eyes was a rare gentleness and serenity.

“For you…”

“The collapse of Giang Thi Group…”

“Maybe it's not necessarily a bad thing.”

“Originally...”

“I don't like sitting in that position either.”

“More…”

“Tri Hoa is pregnant.”

“Congratulations.”

“Don't work too hard either.”

“Sometimes…”

“Take time to enjoy life.”

The late afternoon wind of autumn... Has swept away all the resentments and entanglements of the past. Things are inherently unpredictable. Ups and downs are normal. After going through wind and rain... What remains... Is just letting go.
