Chapter 6 — Love Passes Away, Only Fragments Remain

Even so, my expression remained calm and indifferent.

“Giang Than, your apology is not worth a penny to me.”

“If you didn't let me die in the snake house that day, you should have predicted that you would have this day.”

After hearing this, he panicked and explained to me:

"Nien Nghien, at that time I really just wanted to scare you, I never thought about wanting to kill you, nor did I know you were actually pregnant..."

“I personally checked the pile of snakes that were thrown into that room at that time. Even the ones that were a little larger in size were all dismissed by me. How could I let poisonous snakes in to take your life?”

After listening, the corner of my mouth curled up into a mocking smile and replied: "Then I have to ask your little mistress carefully." He suddenly realized what Phuong Nha had hidden from him, and his face immediately turned pale.

"I'm sorry, Nghien Nghien, I was blinded by lard..."

“No matter how much you want to avenge me, I won't say a word, this is what I deserve.”

“If only you could forgive me——”

“Not – ever – ever.”

Three words came out of my mouth like nails. Giang Than's eye sockets immediately turned red. Having been with him for four years, this is the first time I've seen him cry. He tried to suppress his sobs, his voice trembling as he asked me: "Is it really, completely over between us?" I looked at him calmly, my voice monotonous: "What do you think? Giang Than, when did you become so naive?"

“Jiang Than, did you know, the doctor said that pregnancy was my only chance to become a mother, I would never be able to have children again.”

“You and Phuong Nha killed my child, extinguished my hope of becoming a mother, and yet you still want me to forgive you?”

“You dream!”

Hearing my answer, he didn't say anything more, turned silently, opened the door, and walked out. After Giang Than left, I went into my previous bedroom and packed up some of my important items. At that time, because I was seriously injured, I hid Giang Than and flew abroad so I didn't have time to clean up. Suddenly, I discovered a cardboard box pressed tightly in the corner of the closet. Opening it, a light blue video tape came into view. That's a tape recording the scene where Giang Than and I got married in the past. Not knowing from what psychological self-torture it came, I took out this tape and put it in the player. Along with the melodious sound of the piano, Giang Than in a clean suit and face filled with a smile appeared in the frame. He knelt down on one knee, filled with emotion, took out the ring, his eyes sparkling with tears and said:

“Nien Nghien, thank you for agreeing to marry me.”

“From today, I will take the name of husband to take care of you for the rest of my life.”

“I cherish you, more than I cherish myself.”

After speaking, his eyes sparkled with tears and he put the ring on my finger. Then he stood up and hugged me tightly. My heart felt like someone had torn it apart, it was both painful and numb. In a panic, I glanced at a corner of the frame. Phuong Nha was sitting alone there, her cruel eyes staring at me on stage, so hateful that she clenched her fists. I suddenly realized that perhaps even before Giang Than and I got married, the two of them had an unclear relationship... Yes. At this moment, the phone on the table rang, it was Phuong Nha calling. I hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone.

"Lam Nghien! This cruel woman! You've already divorced A Than, why can't you still tolerate the child in my belly!"

“On what basis did you instigate A Than to force me to have an abortion!”

Hearing the screams on the other end of the line, I coldly responded: "Did you forget to take your medicine while out on the street? He forced you to have an abortion, why are you looking for me? You psycho." After scolding, I hung up the phone. Who would have thought that Phuong Nha would rush straight to the villa to find me.

"Lam Nghien! What did you say to A Than?!"

“Why did he suddenly force me to have an abortion!”

She was screaming and about to jump up and move her arms and legs, but was immediately locked by my assistant and pinned to the ground. I smirked and walked up, telling her: "Phuong Nha, you know what you do."

“Jiang Chen is a bastard, but he's not an idiot either, do you think you can hide him?”

After listening, the anger on her face gradually turned into panic. She looked at me confused, her tone turned to pleading: "Lam Nghien, help me tell A Than, let me give birth to this baby!"

"Do you know how long I've been with A Than? As soon as I graduated, I joined the Giang group, working as A Than's secretary."

"Eight years! I followed him for eight years, and loved him for eight years!"

“It was so difficult to get him to pay attention to me, but you suddenly appeared in his world!”

“If it weren't for your appearance, I would have married A Than long ago and become Mrs. Giang!”

I watched her talk until tears filled her eyes, but in my heart there was not the slightest trace of pity.

"So it's clear that Giang Than is married, but you still disregarded morality and inserted yourself into our marriage, even pregnant with his child and shamelessly came to me asking to give up your seat..."

“Phuong Nha, your current situation is all due to your own shamelessness and stupidity, you can't blame anyone.”

After listening, she was stunned and speechless. I told the bodyguard to kick her out. Three days later, when I went out with Chau Khai Son to discuss business, planning to overthrow the Giang family, my former assistant suddenly came to me. The last time he was hit by a liquor cabinet, his injuries were so severe that he has been in the nursing home until now. The first moment he saw me, his eyes were wet.

"Miss Nghien, it's great to see you're still alive and well!"

"Sorry, I didn't protect you well at that time, leaving you to be caught by Giang Than and that woman..."

Speaking of this, it seemed like he couldn't bear to continue talking and looked at me apologetically.

"It's okay, your sister Nghien crawled out from the pile of corpses, there's nothing to be afraid of."

That year, in order to not starve to death, I was ten years old and proactively went to an assassin organization and sold myself to them. Ten years of brutal training, dozens of times through life-and-death selection rounds, have trained me to have an invulnerable physique. Having finished speaking, I smiled and patted my assistant's shoulder. The guilt on his face finally gradually disappeared, turning into a bit of excitement as he said to me: "Sister Nghien, Giang Than and that woman have received their revenge for evil!"

“I heard that Giang Than wanted to beg you forgave, dragged Phuong Nha to the hospital for an abortion, Phuong Nha refused to live or die, and in the end, Giang Than sent someone to beat her until she had a miscarriage.

“She thought she could rely on her child to marry into the Giang family to become a wealthy wife, but in the end she ended up with this outcome, it was truly deserved!”

After listening, a faint smile appeared on the corner of my lips, and I raised my eyes and waved at Chau Khai Son, who was walking towards me.

“Lao Chau, how are the negotiations going?”

He smiled gently at me and replied: "Very convenient."

“Tomorrow afternoon, the tax department will come to the Giang group to check the books, all of the shares of the Giang group will also become scraps of paper not worth a penny, Giang Than is destined to become a real mourning dog.”

After that, my phone rang. Picking up the phone, the other end of the line heard Giang Than's hoarse and tense voice.

"Nien Nghien, you aborted Phuong Nha's child, this is what she has to pay for your life."

“I'm not asking for your forgiveness, just, can you see me one more time.”

“Let me see you one more time.”

Ridiculous. I already didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I hung up. The next day, the tax department investigated and discovered that Giang's family had made fake books with a huge amount of money, and decided to take Giang Than away. However, when he pushed open the door of the general manager's office, what caught his eye was blood splattered all over the ground, and Giang Than had already passed away. He committed suicide. After calling me, he took a gun and took his own life. END.
