Chapter 7 — He Never Looked Back

"After the repair was completed, the device's local history was erased, but traces of operations were still left on the cloud system. Do you need me to show you step by step?" To Yen's tears immediately welled up. "I just wanted to replace the backup data set, I didn't know it was an old version." "I really didn't mean to." She finally admitted. The general director angrily threw the documents down on the table. "It's your fault, why do you blame Hua Dong?" "I'm afraid..." To Yen turned to look at Ly Tu, as if waiting for protection from him. But this time, Ly Tu did not speak. He stared at the appraisal report with a gray face, and after a while, he turned to ask me: "You knew from before that Phuong Chu could check the system?" "I just found out." Chu Minh answered for me: "After receiving the notice of responsibility, Ms. Hua immediately contacted the customer to request an investigation. While she was trying to find a way to solve the problem, you guys were here forcing her to sign a confession on behalf of the person who actually did it." wrong." Ly Tu's lips moved. "I'm not forcing her, I just want to minimize the consequences to the minimum level." "Minimize the consequences to the lowest level, or do you want to protect To Yen?" I calmly asked and retorted. He was speechless, unable to say a word. The colleagues who had just insulted me all bowed their heads, not daring to look at me anymore. The general director announced on the spot the temporary suspension of To Yen's position in the project, and asked her to coordinate with the subsequent investigation process. After the meeting, Ly Tu chased me to the elevator door, grabbed my wrist. "You quit your job, why didn't you tell me?" I pulled my hand away. "Ask to quit is following the normal process." "What I'm asking is, why didn't you discuss it with me?" There were blood streaks in the bottom of his eyes, as if he really couldn't understand. "We are lovers, you changing jobs is such a big deal, how can I be the last one? know?" "Because I don't even know whether you came home last night or why your leg was injured." "Ly Tu, it's not that you're the last person to know, but you never really care to know." His face turned pale. "I'm just too busy these days." "Busy bringing To Yen home, busy helping her get promoted, busy taking the blame for her." "But I don't have time to ask you a question, why all the time?" You haven't come home for 7 days." The calmer I spoke, the more panicked his face became. "I thought you were angry." "Before, every time you were angry, after a few days you would come back on your own." It turned out he knew everything. He knew I would be sad, knew I was waiting for him to comfort me, and also knew that the last person to compromise would always be me. That's why he dared to ignore my feelings over and over again. "Not this time." The elevator door slowly opened. Ly Tu stopped in front of me. "Hua Dong, the ring is still in the conference room. Take it back first, wait until we calm down before we can talk." "There's no need." "It's our 3-year keepsake." "Now it's just an old item that I don't need anymore." When the elevator door was about to close, Ly Tu suddenly raised his hand to stop it. "What about us?" His voice was a bit hoarse. "My 3-year relationship." We don't need it anymore, do we?" I looked at him, remembering his resolute back that never looked back that rainy night. "No need anymore." The elevator door closed, separating the two of us. That afternoon, the company chat group completely exploded. Someone searched through the chat history over the past 3 years and finally discovered that the relationship between me and Ly Tu had been around for a long time.
