Chapter 25 — Husband Takes Tieu Tam to Duc, I Immediately Lock 2.9 Million Yuan of Joint Account

The day Cao Minh Thanh was arrested, Hang Due's stocks and business activities suffered heavy losses. The board of directors hastily severed relations. All system logs, approval processes and account access rights were surrendered. The article defaming me on the company's official account was eventually determined to be false content distributed in an organized manner. Hang Due publicly apologized. Compensation for loss of reputation. At the same time, pay all notary fees and protect my legal rights. That compensation... I donated it all to a legal aid project for women. Not to appear noble. But because I understand... There are still many people out there trapped in the saying:

“People of the same family do not distinguish who belongs to whom.”

What they need... is not patience. It's evidence. As a lawyer. And a way out for yourself. Tham Nghien Chu's criminal case is still being investigated. Forged signature. False guarantee. Appropriation of deposit money. Enter into the thirty million yuan agreement. No crime is light. He once sent me a very long letter. In the letter, it was written that he regretted it. He wrote that he remembered the years I stayed up all night with him editing each business plan. He said that when he turned to look at me at the airport... Actually, he was also very heartbroken. I only read the first page. Then give it to lawyer Tran to keep on file. I don't need his remorse to prove that I was sincere. Because of my sincerity... It has been proven a long time ago. He just doesn't deserve it. The day I received the official divorce decree, the weather was very nice. I visited my parents' grave. The tombstone has been cleaned. I have long since replaced that bouquet of white flowers. I brought the tea that dad likes to drink. Also bring mom's favorite floral waffles. I stood in front of the grave for a long time.

“I got everything back.”

“I've also found myself again.”

The wind blew through the pine branches. The sound is very quiet. I don't cry. I just felt my shoulders finally feel lighter. I won't sell the house that existed before the marriage. I changed the lock to a new one. Install surveillance cameras. All documents and seals are deposited in the bank's safe. Later, I moved to a newly rented office. Use the money you get back to start your own company. Ha Vy said that I have finally returned to being like the twenty-six year old girl I was. I shook my head.

“I'm better now than I was when I was twenty-six.”

At twenty-six years old, I believed that love could fill the deep holes in people's hearts. And now I understand. There are holes... Absolutely should not be filled. The more you fill up. It becomes deeper and deeper. After the story spread online, some people scolded me for being too cruel. After all, they were husband and wife for once. Don't push that man into a corner. I never answered. Because the person who was truly cornered... was never Tham Nghien Chu. She was a woman with tears in her eyes standing at the airport waving her husband off. Almost buried by a fake debt of thirty million yuan. Because of the fake psychiatric assessment. Because of fake signatures. But I survived. Not just survive. I still have it got the knife back in his hand. Half a year later. I met lawyer Dieu again at an industry forum. He left Heng Rui a long time ago. As soon as he saw me, he smiled:

“Miss Trinh, you are really good.”

I also laughed.

“It's not that I'm good.”

“It's because their greed is too great.”

After the forum ended, Ha Vy drove to pick me up.

“What do you want to eat tonight?”

Ha Vy burst out laughing:

“Finally, you don't have to worry about your stomach all the time anymore.”

I also laughed. Before, I always remembered Tham Nghien Chu having a stomach ache. Miss him in the middle of the night or hungry. Remember he was afraid of the cold. Only later did I understand. People can't just remember how to take care of others. But also remember... Put yourself in hot, smoky days. Put yourself in meals that are still steaming hot. Put your heart into life. Then live well.
