Chapter 22
Chapter 22 — Ex-Wife Reincarnated
“Go sue.” I said, "The contract was signed by Than Tinh, the money was paid by Than Tinh. The drawings have been approved and posted. What are you suing me for?"
Luc Than Vu choked.
“You… you planned it from the beginning…”
“Yes.” I calmly replied, "I have it all planned out. Planning to take away your 10 billion, planning to make Ly Hieu Vi lose his reputation, planning to leave you empty-handed."
“You dream!” He roared, "The Spirit cannot collapse! I will make you pay!"
“I wait.”
Hang up the phone and block the number. My hands are shaking, but my heart is very steady. In the afternoon, Ly Hieu Vi used the studio account to post an announcement. 【Recently due to poor health, temporarily withdrawing from design work. Thank you everyone for your support.】 Below are all cursing comments. 【Don't give up, keep drawing, I haven't smiled enough.】 【Not in good health? Brain problem?】 【I heard that today, Mr. Luc broke 3 vases in the office?】 【Damn it, what good ending will come to the third child?】 I glanced at it, then turned it off. Tham Dinh Uyen stepped forward. “Luc Than Vu is looking for you.”
“I know.”
“Do you need me to handle it?”
“No need.” I replied, “I did it myself.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sure.”
He looked at me. “To Van.”
“What's wrong?”
“Sometimes, relying on others won't lose face.”
I looked up at him. "I know." I said, “But I want to go all the way on my own.” He nodded. "Okay." In the evening, the doorbell rang. I went to the camera screen. It's Luc Than Vu. He stood outside the door, with a scraggly beard and sunken eye sockets, as if he had aged 10 years. I opened the door. "What is up?"
“Let's talk.” His voice was hoarse.
“What are you talking about?”
“The baby.” He said, “I know your child is gone… but I still…”
“Still what?” I asked, “Do you still want me to give you another child?”
He shook his head. “I want to make it up to you.”
“How to compensate?”
“Money, house, shares.” He said, “Just open your mouth.”
I burst out laughing. “Luc Than Vu, do you think I lack money?”
“You…” He was stunned, “That ten billion yuan…”
“Yes.” I said, “Ten billion yuan, enough for me to spend several lifetimes.”
His face was pale.
“So… you really don't need me anymore?”
“No need anymore.” I replied, "From the day you signed the divorce papers, I no longer need you."
“So what should I do…” He mumbled, “Without you… what should I do…”
“That's your job.” I said, "Mr. Luc, please go home."
I'm closed. He reached out to block it. “Van Van… I beg you…”
“Let go.”
“No! I won't let go!” His eyes were red, "I know I'm sorry... I really know I'm sorry..."
“It's late.”
"It's not too late! We can start again! I'm divorced! Now I'm going to divorce Ly Hieu Vi!"
“So what?” I asked, “Remarry me?”
“Yes!”
“And then give birth again?”
“Yes!”
“What happens after that?” I looked straight into his eyes, "Then wait for me to meet Ly Hieu Vi next? Then ask me to have another abortion?"
He was stunned. “I won't—”
“I will.” I said, "Luc Than Vu, you are always engrossed in pursuing things you don't have. Once you have it, you don't know how to appreciate it. Ly Hieu Vi is the bright moonlight that you can't reach, so you want to have it. I am the good wife you already have in your hand, so you throw it away. Now the bright moonlight has turned into rice grains." When it cools down, he remembers his good wife. Do you feel disgusted?”
Luc Than Vu took a step back, as if his last strength had been drained. “So… you look at me like that…”
“But what else?” I asked, “Do you look like a saint of love? Or look at me like a victim?”
“…”
“Luc Than Vu,” I said, “Let's all move forward. Don't look back anymore.”
He looked at me, for a long time. Then turned around and left. Unsteady steps. The back disappeared into the night.
