Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — Because of White Moon Light, He Abandoned Me During the Engagement Ceremony
I calmly replied.
"Eight or nine times it's her."
That afternoon. For the first time I had a strong premonition. Tham Le returned... Not just to reconnect with her old love with Luc Tram. Her real goal... Is Chi Da Bakery. Seven o'clock in the evening. The legal department sent me the preliminary investigation results. The first account to post that anonymous article... Is related to an MCN company. And that company... Three months ago, they just signed a content cooperation contract with Tham Le. I was still staring at the computer screen when there was a sudden knock on the office door. The person who walked in was Chu Nghieu, the company's previous manager in charge of recruiting livestream partners. In his hand he held a yellow paper file bag, his expression full of hesitation.
"General Manager Hua, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, but I think... you should see this."
I received the file bag. Inside there is a USB. Along with a few printed message screenshots. The person texting... It's Tham Le and her old assistant. The very first screenshot made my hands and feet cold. Tham Le: "A man like Luc Tram is the easiest to capture. I kicked him once in the past, but he can't forget me even more." Tham Le: "A woman like Hua Duong who suffers with a man is the stupidest. Having successfully raised him with her own hands, in the end she thought she loved him very deeply." Tham Le: "When I grasp Chi Da Bakery's resources and traffic, who else will remember her?" I stared at those words, feeling like something was hitting my chest hard. Chu Nghieu lowered his voice:
"A few days ago, her old assistant came to me asking for salary. When I mentioned you, I asked a few more questions. She also has a recording in her hand, listen to it yourself."
I plugged the USB into the computer. A few seconds later, Tham Le's lazy voice rang out in the office.
"Do you guys really think I want to reconnect with my old love with Luc Tram?"
Another female voice asked:
"So why do you keep keeping him around?"
Tham Le burst out laughing. A kind of smile... I can't forget it for the rest of my life. Just contemptuous. Again, it seemed like he was sure of victory.
"Because he's stupid."
"The hardest thing for men to forget is not the person they had."
"But the person they will never have."
"Especially someone like Luc Tram. I dumped him in the past, now he's successful, he always wants to prove he's not a piece of trash."
"Just let me tell him that I'm very sad."
"He will come running himself."
"What about Hua Duong?"
"What if we suffer together with Luc Tram?"
"When men succeed, the person they don't want to see the most..."
"It's the person who witnessed their struggling appearance."
"This time I returned to the country to get resources."
"Not to find love."
"Luc Tram is an available ladder."
"It would be a waste not to step on it."
The recording plays here. I can't listen anymore. But the most ironic thing is... The first thought that came to my mind was not:
"Indeed."
If Luc Tram heard this recording, what would his expression be? The man always sees Tham Le as white moonlight. Always thought she was weak. Poor. Need to be protected. If he heard these plans from her mouth with his own ears... Would he feel pain in his face? I closed my computer again. Silence for a long time. Chu Nghieu stood next to him and cautiously asked:
"General Manager Hua, are you okay?"
I raised my head to look at him. Voice a bit hoarse. But his eyes were completely cold.
"Chu Nghieu."
"Leave one copy of this document for the legal department and one copy for me."
"This month's bonus, I will personally give you an additional half month's salary."
"This..."
"Consider it I owe you a favor."
He quickly waved his hand.
"I'm not after money."
"I just really can't look anymore."
"I know."
I nodded.
"Thank you."
After he left. I sat alone in the office until ten o'clock at night. Outside the window. The whole city is still bright with lights. On the glass surface reflects my own silhouette. Suddenly I remembered the winter of my college year. The first time Luc Tram got drunk. He hugged me, his voice choked:
"Hua Duong."
"Let me see..."
"Will she regret it later?"
I'm heartbroken for him. The pain is so unbearable. I said:
"She will definitely regret it later."
Now that I think about it... The person who regrets it is not Tham Le. I regret that I didn't see clearly that year. A man will always leave a place in his heart for someone else... Even if you stay with him until dawn. He may not be willing to share a ray of sunshine with you. Noon the next day. I invited Luc Tram to the meeting room. When he entered. His face was extremely unsightly.
