Chapter 7
Chapter 7 — Holding Your Hand Walking Through The Past
His three sons are just like his replicas. They inherited all the bad habits —— from a cold personality, to a sky-high sense of self-importance. They know very well that their father has a high position, and I... am just a housewife. At the company, I was assigned a "suspended" position with no real power, just to have social insurance. Occasionally, I want to teach my three children, say a few words about politeness and manners. But before he could finish speaking, either Ta Dinh Van interrupted him, or his mother-in-law intervened, otherwise... Tham Le Bach - the "regular guest" who was always present at this house, would smile and "gently give suggestions": "Sister-in-law, children should not be raised in a repressive way, you should not scold them." The eldest son even held Tham Le Bach's hand, his eyes sparkling like stars in the sky, innocently saying: "Miss Le Bach, when I grow up I will marry you!" Then turned around, without any hesitation: "I absolutely will not marry someone like my mother - she's good at eating, lazy, she's used to it, she can't help my father at all!" For the first time, the thought flashed through my mind —— “Maybe divorce isn't that bad.” But when I looked at the 500 million in pocket money transferred regularly into my account every month, I faltered. “Forget it… leave it.” Anyway... the three children also have the last name Ta, without me, there would be other people teaching them. At the very least, even if they don't know anything, they will never have to work as hard as I did in the past - struggling on their own, working several jobs at the same time just to pay tuition. The Ta family is so rich that they can't spend all their money for three generations. Is it my turn to worry? I used to think that at this rate, life would go by peacefully, until one day I "stretched my legs". But unexpectedly, when Ta Dinh Van's illness gradually recovered, things began to change. That day, he finally made up his mind - Abandon me, the wife who has never satisfied him from beginning to end. The day he proposed a divorce, I sat in a daze for a long time. There was no crying. There is no heart-wrenching pain. There is only one feeling of emptiness —— Unhappy. Not sad either. The dreams of when I was a little girl... have long since disappeared. If I say I'm really heartbroken over this divorce... that's not really it. Ta Dinh Van said that he cannot pay me alimony for the time being. I don't mind either. I'm not in the habit of possessing other people's money. Anyway, other than the three children, I didn't contribute much to the Ta family. All the care for Ta Dinh Van was taken care of by the nanny and secretary. I have enough money to spend, just swiping cards in the past few years has spent hundreds of millions. Even if he doesn't pay alimony, my card still has... one hundred million left in it. The day I left the Ta family, I went like the wind — so fast that Ta's mother didn't even have time to say goodbye. On the same day, I flew straight to the Maldives. I need to… relax a bit. On the beach, while looking at the sky and sea, a dark-skinned guy with a blushing face came up and started talking: "Sister... my phone fell into the sea..." I glanced at him, didn't answer, and turned away. Not long after, I flew to Rome. Next to the wishing fountain, I met the same dark-skinned guy again. This time, he asked: "Do you believe in love at first sight?" I shook my head slightly: "I don't believe it." I only believe in two things: "Seeing beauty moves the heart." “Seeing money makes your eyes clear.” Hearing that, the dark-skinned guy looked a little reluctant and quietly left. The third time we met again, he was driving a super sports car, holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand. I looked at him for a moment, a thought crossed my mind: "This type of direct attack... is similar to Tse's style in the past." I smirked: "I just got divorced. If you don't mind, we... can play a little." His eyes glowed like a lamp. … I slept straight until the sun shone up to my butt before waking up. After opening my eyes, I carefully recalled the dream I just had —— In the dream... Ve Quang Chieu and I... "Played" until he... couldn't play anymore. 12 Ve Quang Chieu stood waiting for me under the company building, holding a bouquet of bright red roses, his expression a bit awkward, his tall stance a bit... stupid, which made my heart tremble slightly. That bouquet of flowers —— Just like in the dream. Like every brilliant brightness, like every ray of passionate heat. This is the seventeenth day you've been waiting for me to get off work. Today, Tran Tieu Nhan rarely came to the company to complete the procedures to submit a resignation letter. Seeing Ve Quang Chieu standing there, she squinted her eyes at him, smiling slightly teasingly: "A lover with this kind of flat-minded love interest... is very hard to find." After listening, my face immediately turned red, both embarrassed and happy, like a girl secretly in love. Tran Tieu Nhan stood next to him, helplessly sighing, his eyes as if to say: "Oh my god, this incurable thing..." At that moment, Ve Quang Chieu saw me. His eyes brightened slightly, his ears quickly turned red, and even his neck turned pink. He took me down to the first floor, not saying a word the whole way, just walking quietly next to me. When we arrived, we stood in front of the building and said goodbye. But... two hours passed, he still refused to leave. I secretly reached out and gently pulled his finger a bit —— It's so hot. So big. My heart was pounding. Unable to bear it, I kissed him softly on the cheek. Ve Quang Chieu immediately froze, his ears were red, his face was red, his neck was also red, as if there was smoke rising from the top of his head. But he still tried to pretend to be calm and shyly asked: "Aren't you afraid I'm just playing around, not sincere?" I looked straight into his eyes, smiled, and gently said: "Not afraid." Because, I know the answer. In my previous life, Ve Quang Chieu and I... lived together until seventy or eighty years old. Even at the age of eighty, he still didn't forget to buy a small bouquet of flowers on the way home, just to give it to me, smiling and saying: "For my old lady." Hearing my answer, Ve Quang Chieu finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled me into his arms with one hand, bowed his head and kissed me. I took the opportunity to secretly touch his chest. As soon as my hand touched, a sentence echoed in my head - Big... really big! The corners of my lips curled up slightly, unable to help but reveal a smile... a bit "suspicious". We kissed for an hour, to the point where we were both panting, our breaths mingling with each other, our hearts pounding. Just before I could catch my breath, I raised my head —— meeting a pair of familiar eyes. Tse Dinh Van. He stood there, his eyes wide open, his face filled with utter disbelief. His voice was hoarse, trembling as if trying to suppress a storm: "Chu Nhu So... I... what are you guys doing?!" Before I could open my mouth, Ve Quang Chieu was already one step ahead. He leaned over, his expression indifferent but his eyes extremely sharp Sharp: "What does it have to do with you?" After speaking, he deliberately bent down and kissed me on the lips - publicly, teasingly. Ta Dinh Van's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, his body seemed to be losing all strength, his voice was lost, it sounded like it was about to break: "Chu Nhu So... have you really changed your mind...?" “You…how could you treat me like that…?” I don't answer. Don't look at him. Holding Ve Quang Chieu's hand, I calmly walked into the house without turning around. The security door "clicked" and slammed shut, blocking out the soulless face of Tse Dinh Van. Entering the house, Ve Quang Chieu was very polite. He just sat on the sofa for a moment, his eyes serious, and softly said: "I... will go home now." I looked at his back as he was about to leave and softly called out: "Ve Quang Chieu." He stopped walking and turned to look at me. I pursed my lips, hesitated a bit, then asked: "Why... do you like me?"
