Chapter 10 — Reclaim My Company

He placed the box on my desk.

"Ah Hanh, I went back to my old office last night and found this."

I don't move. He opened the box. There are also some old photos inside. An office leaking water. Boxes of instant noodles piled up. First version of the product architecture diagram on a whiteboard. In the photo. My hair is tied up in a messy knot. Luc Hanh Chu stood next to me, his smile clean and radiant. His voice was hoarse.

"At that time... we were really happy."

I looked at the photos. Never reached out to receive it. In the end... He also knows how to use the old days as a rope to hold me. Luc Hanh Chu sat down. Both eyes were red.

"I know it's too late to say anything now. About Hua Man... I was wrong. During that time, my pressure was too great. She was always by my side, and I was suddenly confused."

"Confused for eleven months?"

His face immediately turned white. I continue to ask:

"Confused enough to register marriage."

"So confused that she got pregnant."

"So confused that she took company money for her to spend."

"So confused that even at the listing celebration party, you forced me to be generous?"

Luc Hanh Chu's lips trembled slightly.

"I don't dare tell you. I'm afraid you'll leave me, and I'm also afraid there will be problems with the company's listing."

I laughed.

"So you chose to let me know everything right in front of the entire company."

He quickly shook his head.

"No. I didn't expect Hua Man to make a fuss."

I looked at him.

"Let's see."

"Up until now, I'm still blaming her for making a fuss..."

"...but never blamed myself for being too dirty."

Like someone just slapped me hard. Luc Hanh Chu bowed his head. A long time later. He said hoarsely:

"Ah Hanh, stop."

"You kick me out of the company, I accept."

"I will pay the money."

"I don't need your position anymore."

"Just please..."

"...don't send me to jail."

"Your mother is old enough."

"She can't stand it."

"When the house my parents left behind was mortgaged, what did you say?"

Luc Hanh Chu was stunned. I answered for him:

"He said: 'A Hanh, once the company develops, I will definitely let my aunt and uncle in heaven rest easy.'"

At that time, when I signed the mortgage contract, my hand was shaking so much that I couldn't hold a pen. Luc Hanh Chu grabbed my hand and said that this company is our home. It was that house that he took away to raise Hua Man. I pushed the old box back.

"Luc Hanh Chu, if my parents are really looking down from above, what makes them feel most at ease..."

"...it was today that I was finally no longer blind."

Tears fell from his eyes. Heavy drops fell on the old photo.

"Ah Hanh, I really loved you."

He suddenly raised his head. I looked at him.

"Once loved..."

"...doesn't change the fact that you're a terrible person."

Little by little, his face lost all color. Suddenly, there was a sound of arguing outside the office. Hua Man's voice was so high-pitched that it was deafening.

"Let me in! I want to see Tham A Hanh!"

Lam Dao couldn't stop it. Hua Man rushed in. Her hair was messy, her eyes were red and swollen, and her belly was more visible than before. As soon as she saw Luc Hanh Chu, she immediately rushed forward and hugged his arm.

"Hanh Chu, why didn't you answer my phone call? Everyone scolded me online. Even in front of the gate of my mother's house, there were people taking pictures." photo!"

Instinctively, Luc Hanh Chu withdrew his hand. Hua Man paused.

"You avoid me?"

Luc Hanh Chu said tiredly:

"Man Man, you go home first."

She couldn't believe it.

"You told me to go home? Because of you, I was cursed on social networks, but now you tell me to go home?"

I leaned back in my chair, quietly looking at the two of them. This play... More truthful than any statement. Hua Man suddenly turned to me.

"Tham A Hanh, are you satisfied now? You pressure me to this extent, are you really clean yourself? Don't you just rely on having money and shares?"

She immediately choked up. I stood up and walked in front of her.

"I have money..."

"...because I found it myself."

"I have shares..."

"...because it costs me my life."

"What about you?"

Hua Man's eyes began to avoid. I looked at the ring on her hand.

"A stolen ring."

"A house of lies."

"A man robbed."

"And the baby in her womb that she brought out threatened everyone."

She raised her hand to slap me. Luc Hanh Chu held her hand tightly. Hua Man shouted:

"You protected her again?"

Luc Hanh Chu roared back:

"Don't you think it's chaotic enough?"

Hua Man was dumbfounded. Tears welled up in her eyes, her voice trembled.

"Luc Hanh Chu, you didn't say that before. He said she only knows how to work and doesn't know how to take care of him. He said he would wait until the company was listed and then turn his cards to her. You also said that sooner or later the company will be ours."
