Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — Giang Dao
It's obvious that he was ambiguous with his ex-lover, didn't come home at night, why did he turn around and accuse me of having an affair first? "Tu Tinh Chau, don't slander others!" He still calmly looked at me: "If not, then why do you want a divorce?" "Do you really want me to expose your bad story?" I was so angry that I stomped my foot. "What's wrong with me?" He raised his eyebrows, his voice still calm. Thick face, really thick face! I wanted to rush in and bite him to relieve my anger. "Because of Lam Bach Lo?" I felt like I was caught at a weak point and suddenly fell silent. I pursed my lips tightly and looked at him with red eyes: "Yes, it's because of Lam Bach Lo." "What does she have to do with it? She divorced and returned home, so you also follow her, don't you know anything?" Me: "???"7 "Giang Dao, I can endure my wife's impulsiveness and occasional stubbornness, even causing trouble outside, but everything has a limit."He seemed to have a limit. A little tired, he raised his hand to gently rub his forehead: "You've done enough, now you can come home with me." I felt like I saw my heart being despised by him, thrown to the ground and trampled on. So, in his eyes, I was still "causing trouble." He still thinks I'm just being unreasonable. What should I do to make you understand that Tu Tinh Chau, Giang Dao no longer wants to love you, no longer want to be your wife, no longer want to live in your indifference. But looking at his tired appearance right now, I still feel heartbroken. He was wearing the shirt I chose, the tie I bought, and even the underwear and socks I washed for him myself. I've never even washed my dad's socks. I love you so much, in fact, if you just call me "wife", just hug me, I won't be able to control myself and give in. But he didn't bother to comfort me anymore. Lam Bach Lo has returned, and a man only has enough gentleness and patience with the woman he loves. Giang Dao, it's pitiful, your husband doesn't love you. The secret relationship between him and Lam Bach Lo left me suffocated. I took a deep breath, held on to the last bit of dignity, held my head high so as not to lose momentum. "Tu Tinh Chau, how many times do you need me to say it again to understand? I want a divorce, there is nothing left to negotiate." "Giang Dao, you should think carefully, divorce is not a joke." "I know, Tu Tinh Chau, from the moment I proposed to divorce you, I thought very clearly, and I will not change." He looked at me for a long time, then laughed softly and self-deprecatingly. I don't know why he suddenly laughed like that, but at this point I was in no mood to care. Because he said: “Okay.” The divorce procedure took place very quickly, because I did not ask for property division, so everything was very simple. When the staff stamped the blue book, Tu Tinh Chau looked at me one last time: "Giang Dao..." I was completely confused, feeling like I was no longer awake: "Please hurry up, I'm busy." He didn't say anything more. We quickly received the divorce certificate. I picked up my notebook, put on my sunglasses and quickly walked out. Tu Tinh Chau still seems to be following me. Maybe I was thinking too much, because there was only one exit, of course he had to go the same way. I got in the car and left, not bothering to look at him once. It wasn't until the car stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light that I gradually regained consciousness. Looking at the blue notebook, my emotions suddenly surged, I put my head on the steering wheel and burst into tears. My car blocked the road so the cars behind couldn't continue, but I didn't care. It wasn't until the traffic police came to inquire that I reluctantly regained my composure and drove away. I returned to the apartment my father bought for me before I got married
kiss. After showering and changing into home clothes, I hugged my teddy bear and sat absent-mindedly. Less than 10 minutes later, the phone suddenly rang continuously, like it was crazy. I don't want to look, nor do I want to answer the phone. But the caller seemed to have no intention of stopping and kept calling non-stop. My headache started to come, I had to reach for my phone to turn it off. But as soon as I saw the caller's name, my anger flared up. Chu Dong. My fighting instinct immediately revived. I held the phone tightly, like a small animal hiding, my eyes full of challenge. Does Chu Dong want to laugh at me, Giang Dao? Huh, next life! I immediately pressed the answer button, ready to confront. But what Chu Dong shouted over the phone made me completely surprised. "Giang Dao, are you crazy? You dare to divorce Tu Tinh Chau just because of Co Hoai Sam!" I was stunned. Co Hoai Sam? Why is it because of Co Hoai Sam... Co Hoai Sam and I broke up hundreds of years ago. Even though he was my first love, when I was young, I didn't know what love was. In fact, I almost forgot about his existence. "Giang Dao, did you get your head stuck in the door? Co Hoai Sam just announced his breakup with Gian Lam, returning to the country to start a business, you immediately divorced Tu Tinh Chau..." Chu Dong on the phone was uncontrollably excited. I'm divorced, why is she so angry? Isn't divorcing me a good opportunity for her? She likes Tu Tinh Chau that much. "Giang Dao, what are you better than me? The person I have to risk everything to marry, if you want to marry then marry, if you want to leave then leave, what do you rely on? You are only a little better than me in beauty, a little whiter than me, besides that, in what way are you better than me? Why did he choose you and not me when he was suffering from love..." Chu Dong just said. scolded and burst into tears on the phone. But I held the phone and just wanted to cry. It turned out that everyone knew that he suddenly wanted to get married because he was heartbroken over his old love. I was the only one who didn't know anything and was foolishly happy to become his wife. The night before the wedding, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. Now that I think about it, maybe the whole Chengdu looked at me like an idiot. I hung up. At this point, I couldn't cry anymore. I stared at the teddy bear in front of me. This was the gift that year, on International Children's Day, I begged Tu Tinh Chau to buy it for me. Even though he felt it was childish and unreasonable, he still personally bought it for me. I love it so much, I hug it to sleep every night. But now... I don't even need your father anymore, you can go too, you bear! I grabbed its ear, jumped up, tried to open the door, go out and throw it away. But as soon as I opened the door, I saw Co Hoai Sam's delicate, affectionate face. He smiled brightly at me, opened his arms wide and hugged me tightly: "Dao Dao, I'm home!" Just as he hugged me, the elevator behind him slowly opened. I saw Tu Tinh Chau's figure gradually appear in my sight. 8 The teddy bear I was holding in my hand fell to the ground with a "thump" sound. "Dao Dao, what's wrong?" Co Hoai Sam asked gently, his voice full of gentleness, but my whole body stiffened. I couldn't speak, nor could I lift my hand to push him away. I just blankly looked at Tu Tinh Chau with an expressionless face. Finally, Co Hoai Sam also noticed something unusual, he let me go, turned around and looked behind me. His gentle, smiling eyes when facing Tu Tinh Chau also gradually became serious. In Tu Tinh Chau's eyes, it seemed to contain a thin layer of frost, so cold that it made people freeze. I trembled and staggered
Staggered back, wanting to close the door to hide. But Co Hoai Sam, as if he was neither afraid of heaven nor earth, grabbed my wrist. I unconsciously looked towards Tu Tinh Chau. His face was so dark that it was scary, his thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, I could even feel him clenching his back teeth. "Giang Dao." Tu Tinh Chau just called my name, but didn't say anything else. But that call was like an electric shock, making me immediately pull my hand away from Co Hoai Sam. "I, no, you misunderstood, I didn't know he was outside the door..." I stammered, trying to explain, but the more panicked I became, the less I knew what to say. "Tu Tinh Chau..." I didn't know how to explain clearly, how did the two of them come at the same time. One was my ex-husband who had just divorced, the other was my first love since I was young. Unfortunately, even Chu Dong thought I divorced Tu Tinh Chau because of Co Hoai Sam. And now, Tu Tinh Chau saw the newly divorced me cuddling with Co Hoai Sam. I really don't know what to do, the past few days have exhausted me, both my body and spirit are about to collapse. So I decided to let it go, shouting at both of them: "I don't care anymore! Think whatever you think!" After screaming, I turned around to go back to the apartment, but suddenly the world seemed to spin before my eyes. In that moment, the details of the hundreds of badass novels I read when I was in school rushed back to my mind. I fell limply to the ground, and cleverly fell towards my teddy bear. If they don't have time to turn slowly 360 degrees to catch me, at least I won't be hurt when I fall. "Dao Dao..." I closed my eyes and heard Co Hoai Sam's worried and scared voice calling my name. But the arms supporting me, carrying the familiar smell of cigarettes and a faint scent of lemon, belonged to Tu Tinh Chau. His strong and steady hands caught me just when I was about to fall. That is Tu Tinh Chau's bracelet.
