Chapter 12 — My Husband Wants AA, I'm Thinking About Divorce

Trieu Tung Nha glanced at him. No reply. Continue presenting.

“One more thing.”

She took out a pad of printer paper. Push to the middle of the table. That's the entire screenshot of Tran Vu Vy's deleted post. Attached are comments and sharing history.

"Mr. Tran Khai Chu's sister, Tran Vu Vy, publicly posted false information on social networking platforms."

“There is an act of distorting the truth.”

“Infringing on the honor and reputation of Ms. Lam Niem So.”

“Our side reserves the right to sue for defamation in the online environment.”

Lawyer Ma's face immediately became visibly unsightly. He turned to look at Tran Khai Chu. Tran Khai Chu's hand under the table clenched into a fist.

“I didn't post that post.”

“The time and location of the post indicate that she was using the Wi-Fi network in his home.”

Trieu Tung Nha said calmly.

“All content is related to private family life.”

“The source of information obviously comes from you or your family members.”

“Mr. Tran.”

“I sincerely advise you to seriously consider our plan.”

“If the case has to go to trial.”

“These documents will become public records.”

The mediation did not achieve immediate results. Lawyer Ma said he needed time to discuss with his client. When walking out of the law office. Tran Khai Chu called me back. I stopped. But don't turn back.

“You've changed so much.”

“It's not like I've changed.”

I calmly replied.

“It's because you've never seen me before.”

I walked away. After completing the first handover phase for the brand project. Phuong Dinh invited me to attend the precious brand announcement.

“She is the designer of the project.”

“Come and interact with your partners for a bit.”

I didn't think for too long. Immediately agreed. The announcement was held at a boutique hotel in Hangzhou. The scale is not too large. About a hundred guests. Including partners, suppliers, communications and internal teams. I arrived quite early. Phuong Dinh took me to meet a few people. Chatting. A group of people entered from the hall door. Among them was someone who stopped my steps. Tran Khai Chu. He was wearing a dark company suit. Accompanying the group's deputy general director. It turned out that the real estate group where he worked was the commercial space partner of this milk tea brand. He also saw me. On his face. The surprise quickly turned into confusion. Then it turned into a very complex emotion. Phuong Dinh noticed.

“Ex-husband.”

I replied. Phuong Dinh raised his eyebrows. Ask no more. The program quickly progressed to the introduction of the new brand identity system. On the big screen. Each set of designs appears one after another. New packaging. New posters. New illustrations. Every time a category appears. There was another round of applause below. Tran Khai Chu sat in the guest row. Look closely at the screen. Maybe this is the first time in my life. He knows what I used to call “drawing”. After all, how big can you stand on a stage? Phuong Dinh stood on stage and introduced:

“This new brand identity was created by an independent designer that we specially invited to cooperate — Lam Niem So.”

The name appears in the lower right corner of the large screen and my photo. Applause echoed throughout the hall. Phuong Dinh continued:

“In addition to our project, Ms. Lam Niem So is currently taking on the role of creative owner for Studio Co Minh's cultural tourism project.”

“Her work has received a lot of attention in the professional world.”

I heard soft conversations behind me.

"Are you from Studio Co Minh? So it's probably not cheap."

“I have never heard of this designer before.”

“But look at that set of illustrations, it's really classy.”

Soon someone came over with a glass of wine to start a conversation. When I learned that I was collaborating with Co Minh. The attitude of many people immediately changed. I saw Tran Khai Chu standing outside the crowd. The glass of wine in his hand from beginning to end never took a sip. A colleague next to him nudged his shoulder.

“Khai Chu, that designer is really terrible.”

“I heard that they are Co Minh's people?”

Another laughed and said:

“Really capable.”

“I heard Mr. Phuong say the contract is not small.”

Another voice was lower. But I can still hear it.

“Is that designer the same last name as you?”

“The face looks familiar.”
