Chapter 5 — It's Too Late to Kneel Down

"Sometimes it's not entirely the man's fault. We women, as wives, should also put a little thought into our men to keep their hearts."

Just a few sentences and you're already saying "PUA" (psychological manipulation) to me? I held the phone, the smile on the corner of my lips gradually disappeared.

“Old lady Chu.”

I coldly changed the way I addressed myself.

“Only women who need to live on men, rely on men to nurture them, need to spend their minds and hearts to keep their hearts.”

"For me, men are just a spice, not a necessity. If you're not good, then change to something else and it's over. Why bother wasting effort?"

"I'm not like you, like living vines that have to wrap around big trees. Because I was born, I was already a big tree."

“Understood?”

Old lady Chu was speechless and did not speak. A long time later, she used an ambiguous tone to mumble a sentence: "This child..." That day, Chu Tung Dan finally sent me a message. Perhaps old lady Chu secretly advised him about something. The only thing is, when he talks, he still keeps his attitude. That's right, a General Director who is usually noble and noble, who is flattered and respected by people, how can he be willing to voluntarily bow his head?

“Let's have dinner together tomorrow night.”

I looked at this message and replied with two words: "Not available." Less than three seconds later, the phone received a new message: "If you don't know how to save face, it's up to you." Ha, just after one round you can't pretend anymore? Maybe I feel like I took the initiative to invite her out to eat, which is already a big deal. Being rejected by me made me humiliated. I became so embarrassed that I became angry, right? Truly childish. A few days later, Chu Tungmin started a unilateral cold war again. But, what does it have to do with me? The lawyer sent me a draft of the divorce agreement. I read it carefully from beginning to end and didn't find any problems. We believe that in a few days we can finalize the complete agreement. I also don't put too much thought into this. In half a month, there will be an extremely important international trade forum. This forum has great weight in the business world, and the people present are all prominent figures. Originally, Chu Tung Dan and I were supposed to attend together. After all, our two big families are married, and husband and wife should often appear together to send a signal of stability to the outside world. But right now, I'm too lazy to worry about those things. Sorry. She confidently shines alone. 6 The hall of the international trade forum is located in the banquet room of the most luxurious hotel in the city center. Guests gathered in groups of two or three to chat. The gentlemen all wore dark suits, while the ladies wore all kinds of formal dresses and high-end designer jewelry. Behind every social greeting from anyone here can hide cooperation agreements worth billions, every smile has been meticulously calculated. As soon as I walked in, there were many people surrounding me to say hello.

"Boss Do, long time no see. I heard the company's project in London is progressing very smoothly?"

"Miss Do, is your health still good these days?"

“Boss Do, let's talk about our new energy project when you have free time?”

I responded in turn, smiling appropriately, Speaking speed is neither fast nor slow. Save face for everyone, while also maintaining a necessary distance. That's right, from childhood to adulthood, no matter where I went, I was used to being surrounded by people like the stars surrounding the moon. I'm used to being flattered and pleasing, so I don't need to humble myself to follow anyone. Just as I was talking enthusiastically with the director of an investment bank, a small commotion came from the door.
