Chapter 21 — Ex-Wife Reincarnated

Back in my room, I looked at the photo. Indeed, laughing is very fun. Just like me a long time ago, when I had never met Luc Than Vu. Simple, happy, confident in the future. I placed the photo on the nightstand and lay down. Binh An jumped up and lay face down next to my pillow.

“Binh An.”

“Woof?”

“I think…” I said softly, “I kind of like this place.”

The dog rubbed against me, wheezing, as if to say: Then stay. I closed my eyes. For the first time, in this strange house, I felt the taste of "family".

Chapter 10 32 designs of Than Tinh have been released. Massive promotional campaign: subway station advertising, large screens in shopping malls, hot search push. #Design Talent Ly Hieu Vi# #Than Tinh's New Annual Project# #First Love Series Office Building# Click to see, 9-panel photo, all 32 sets I drew. The rustic color scheme and messy patchwork details are designs that are completely soulless. The comments section exploded, but not with praise. 【Is this really the level of Than Tinh?】 【The office I rented 10 years ago looks even better.】 【Was the designer drunk when drawing?】 【Upstairs, this is the passionate work of new Design Director Ly Hieu Vi~】 【Ly Hieu Vi? That hot internet girl? Does she know how to design?】 【It's a plagiarism, right? This style is exactly like an elementary school student drawing graffiti.】 I glanced at it, then closed it, continuing to draw a new project for S&L. The theme this time is "Breaking the cocoon". I like it so much. Tham Dinh Uyen walked in holding a cup of coffee. “See yet?” he asked.

“See it.”

“How does it feel?”

“I don't feel anything.” I replied, “As expected.”

He laughed. “Thanh Tinh's shares fell 5 points today.” My hand stopped. “Because of the design?”

“Because the council was stoned.” He sat down, "Everyone in the industry is rumored that Than Tinh's design director is a loud empty barrel."

I bowed my head and continued drawing.

"How did Ly Hieu Vi react?"

“She blocked Weibo comments.” Tham Dinh Uyen said, "Luc Than Vu is dealing with a media crisis."

“It's worth it.”

“Are you satisfied?”

I pondered. "A little bit."

“Just a little?”

“Yes.” I said, “Compared to what I lost, this little bit of retaliation is not worth it.”

Tham Dinh Uyen was silent, then said: "You are more evil than I thought."

“So what?”

“Yes.” He looked at me, “But you are more cruel to yourself.”

I said nothing. At noon, the bank message came again. Than Tinh paid the rest. Five billion yuan. Plus the previous five billion, ten billion yuan, the whole thing was in the account. I looked at the balance, a long line, but didn't feel excited, just tired. Money can't buy back my child, can't buy back those 5 years, can't buy back... the love I once believed in. Phone vibrates, strange number. I answered the phone.

“To Van!” It was Luc Than Vu, his voice was hoarse, "You did it on purpose, right?!"

“What?”

“Those blueprints!” He screamed, "You're Aria! That trash was drawn by you! You're taking revenge on me!"

I burst out laughing. “General Luc, are you just realizing it now?”

“Miss—”

“I drew it.” I admitted, "But the person who signed it is Ly Hieu Vi. Isn't she a design genius? What, has she been cursed?"

Luc Than Vu trembled. “Do you know how much damage this causes to the company? Are not?!"

“It has nothing to do with me.”

“To Van! Since we weren't divorced, you've already started plotting against me?!”

“Yes.” I said, "From the day you brought Ly Hieu Vi into the door, I started planning."

The other end of the line was as quiet as a sheet of paper.

“You…” His voice trembled, “Why have you become so cruel…”

"Thanks to the grace you bestowed."

“I will sue you! Sue her for commercial fraud!”
