Chapter 10 — Fireworks Don't Light the Way Back

Chu Kinh Ngoc looked up at me, his eyes complicated. I know what he wants to ask. But I don't want to explain. I also don't want to have to be like the old days, explaining over and over again to prove my innocence.

"It's about you two, stop dragging me into the water."

After saying that, I turned around to leave. My department head quickly ran over, his face unsightly: "Khuong Yen, what's going on?" Tong Tinh Van cried: "I really just came to apologize..." Chu Kinh Ngoc suddenly raised his head and looked up at the corner of the ceiling. There are surveillance cameras there. His face changed.

“Extract camera.”

Tong Tinh Van's cry choked. “General Chu…” Chu Kinh Ngoc didn't look at her, just repeated once: “Extract the camera.” A few minutes later, the video was played in the conference room. On the screen, Tong Tinh Van proactively approached, grabbed my hand, and then after I pushed it away, she fell backwards on her own. Every move is clearly visible right before your eyes. The meeting room was eerily quiet. Tong Tinh Van's face was bloodless, his lips trembling: "It's not like that, President Chu, I'm just..." Chu Kinh Ngoc looked at her, as if this was the first time he really saw through this person.

“Was it... like that before?”

Tong Tinh Van stiffened. His voice was low, but contained rage.

“Every time Khuong Yen says you're being difficult, every time she says you're holding her money, every time she says you're intentionally insulting... is it the same thing?”

Tong Tinh Van cried and shook his head: "I don't, I just love you too much..." Chu Kinh Ngoc closed his eyes. When I opened my eyes, there was only coldness left under my eyes.

“From today onwards, you no longer need to return to the company.”

Tong Tinh Van's face changed seriously. “General Chu!”

“All the things you borrow from your position to appropriate, the finance department will recalculate every inch.”

He turned to look at his assistant.

"Inspect clearly, everything that needs to be recalled will be completely revoked. If anything needs to be criminally prosecuted, there is no need to show mercy."

Tong Tinh Van was completely panicked and rushed forward to grab his sleeve.

"Mr. Chu, I've been following you for so many years, you can't treat me like that!"

Chu Kinh Ngoc shook her hand away. Then, he turned back to look at me. At that moment, his eyes seemed to carry some caution and reserve. It was as if he had finally let go of his anger on my behalf, so he could get something in return.

“Khuong Yen, I will give you an explanation.”

I looked at him and calmly replied: "No need." He was stunned. I said: "You punish her, it has nothing to do with me." … On the day of the divorce court, the weather was very nice. When I arrived at the court gate, Chu Kinh Ngoc was already waiting there. We hadn't seen each other for more than a year. He was thinner than the last time we met. He was dressed neatly in a suit, but his hand was clutching a thick file of documents, his knuckles were white from the force. Seeing me, he immediately walked over. “Khuong Yen.” I stopped walking. He brought the document in front of me, his voice was deep and hoarse:

"This is a new asset division plan. Houses, shares, savings, I can give them all to you. As long as you are willing to consider it again."

I don't accept it.

“Chu Kinh Ngoc, I came here today just to end this marriage.”

His eyes were completely dim. The trial took place very well smoothly. He is no longer as cold and arrogant as before, nor does he use the Chu family's reputation to coerce people. When the lawyer read the assets section, he interrupted several times, wanting to transfer more things to my name. I only take what belongs to me according to the law. Neither too much nor too little. Chu Kinh Ngoc finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at me:

"Khuong Yen, are you determined to be this clear with me?"

I calmly said: "We should be clear."
