Chapter 2 — Secretary Slap Me? I turned my hand and caused the whole company to go bankrupt

The words "old lady" are like a sink bomb thrown straight into the calm lake. Boom. The whole room immediately shook. The expression on Chu Duc's face changed continuously. From anger... To surprise... Then finally, it turned white without any blood left. His pupils constricted violently because he was so terrified. Lips slightly opened but could not utter a word. He stared at me. His eyes were as if he was meeting the woman who had been by his side for the past three years for the first time. In that moment. The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop to the ground. The expression on Chu Duc's face suddenly reminded me of the summer three years ago. At that time, he was just a poor guy who had just graduated. Wearing a T-shirt that has faded from being washed too many times. But in his eyes burned desire and ambition that refused to give in. He once held my hand and said sincerely:

“Nien Niem, when I succeed, I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world.”

I believed. Believed enough to defy his father's anger. Despite all the warnings. Insisted on marrying that empty-handed man. That day, my father was so angry that he broke his favorite purple teapot. He pointed straight at me and shouted loudly:

"You don't even need your family anymore because of a man who depends on his wife's family?"

“It wasn't you who looked at me, but my money!”

I stubbornly responded:

“Dad, I will prove it to you.”

"Even though I don't have the status of the Co family's golden child, Chu Duc still loves me the same."

Because of that so-called proof, I created a performance of "running away from home" myself. I told Chu Duc that I was an orphan. No father or mother. Live by working part-time at a coffee shop. I cut my long hair. Put away all branded clothes. Following him, he moved into a room of less than ten square meters. Summer is hot like a furnace. Winter is bone-chillingly cold. But I am committed to volunteering. At that time, Chu Duc wanted to start a business. But he has no capital. I secretly used my personal account, pretending to be an angel investor, and gave him the first amount of money. 5,000,000 yuan. I lied and said I won the lottery. Chu Duc was so happy that he was crazy. He hugged me and spun me around a few times. He swore that he would definitely return both capital and interest to me in the future. There's that money. His company quickly went into orbit. We moved out of the boarding house. Move into a high-end residential area. I thought my happy life had finally begun. But since then. Chu Duc comes home later and later. The smell of perfume on him also became more and more strange. He said:

“Nien Niem, the company is just developing, I'm too busy.”

He said:

"Customers are social, I'm just reluctant."

He said:

“Don't think too much, in my heart there is only you.”

Believe again. I quit my job at the “coffee shop”. Volunteer to be the woman standing behind him. A full-time housewife. Not long after, I became pregnant. The pregnancy was so intense that the world was spinning. Whatever you eat, you vomit. Stomach is so hungry it aches. I just crave a bowl of spicy and sour noodles at a familiar restaurant in the south of the city. I gently shook Chu Duc who was lying next to me. Unexpectedly, he just impatiently turned around. The voice was full of discomfort.

"Do What color is that?

“Is there any woman who doesn't give birth?”

“Still forcing others to run back and forth in the middle of the night?”

I bit my lip. Swallowing back the tears and the sour taste stuck in his throat and down into his stomach. Don't say another word. During a routine prenatal visit. Right on the street opposite the hospital. I saw Chu Duc with my own eyes. He drives a BMW that I paid for. In the passenger seat is Bach Vy smiling brightly like a flower. The car stopped in front of the Hermes store. Chu Duc stepped down first. Then went around and opened the car door for Bach Vy. The hand still carefully covered her head. I'm afraid she accidentally bumped into the door jamb. That move... He used to do it for me before. My heart felt like it was submerged in an ice cellar. Cold to every inch. It's the anniversary of my mother's death. A week before that, I reminded him. That day I definitely had to leave early. Stay home with me. I prepared the whole table of food. All of these are dishes my mother liked when she was alive. Since sunset. I waited until late at night. The dish cools and then reheats. Reheat and continue to cool. Chu Duc called. His voice was tired, mixed with a bit of fake guilt.

“Nien Niem, sorry.”

“An extremely important client suddenly wants to see you.”

“I can't come home tonight.”

I quietly hung up. Cleaning the table alone. But only half an hour later. I saw a new post again among Bach Vy's friends. Chu Duc and the entire department are gathering for a party. The background is an extremely bustling VIP KTV room. And the smile on his face... It's brighter than any time he's with me. He sat in the center of the crowd. Bach Vy is next to her. She rested her head on his shoulder, holding the song Chu Duc had called her in her hand. The two of them laughed so happily. So happy. But also so dazzling. The “important customer” he mentioned was her.
