Chapter 16 — The 420 Thousand Yuan Car And The Marriage Was Returned

The day before. Those two words are like a rope. Tied me up until I couldn't breathe. And now. It just looks like an expired invoice. I calmly replied:

"For hospital bills, find Nguyen Niem Niem."

Bui's mother was stunned.

"How can you be so cold-blooded?"

I hung up. Then drag it to the block list. One month later. Bui Nghien Chu stood waiting for me in front of the hospital gate. It was raining that day. He lost a lot of weight. The black coat was loose on his body. Just saw me. His eyes lit up. But soon it got dark again. I stopped on the steps. Luc Dinh Van stood next to me. Don't say a word. Bui Nghien Chu saw him. Laughed bitterly.

"Are you two together?"

I frowned. He shook his head again.

"That's good."

"Someone takes care of you."

"I can rest assured."

Still that familiar lovey-dovey look. I don't believe it anymore.

"Bui Nghien Chu."

"Is there anything wrong?"

He took out a small box from his pocket. Inside is a ring.

"I still have my wedding ring."

"I went to get the ring that day."

"Just when Niem Niem was crying and looking for you, that's why..."

His voice choked.

"I know it's too late."

"But I still want to ask you once."

"Can you give me one more chance?"

Raindrops fell on the ring surface. The diamond is very small. The design is also not what I like. I suddenly remembered the day I bought the car. He once said:

"I still dare to buy a car worth 420,000 yuan."

"Rings don't need to be too expensive."

"A little bit of reality is fine."

He always knew I was willing to give. Just never wanted to give the best things to me. I received the box. A ray of hope flashed in Bui Nghien Chu's eyes. But the next second. I placed the box on the lid of the medical waste collection bin next to me.

"Don't throw it away."

"The hospital has garbage classification."

His face turned pale little by little.

"Tri Vi..."

"Don't come looking for me in the future."

Step into the rain. Luc Dinh Van followed behind. He gave me a file.

"The car return dispute has also been resolved."

"The car company bears part of the responsibility."

"Vehicle delivery center supports exchanging new vehicles."

"You can choose another car."

I looked towards the side of the road. Wen Nhuoc Duong just drove over. She stuck her head out the window.

"Let's go see the new car?"

Sunlight penetrates through the clouds. The rain hasn't stopped yet. But the road surface was bright. I changed to a new car. Car pick up date. All management and control are linked to my phone itself. On Nhuoc Duong stood next to him. Serious reminder:

"Don't give this right to anyone."

I laughed and nodded. The car rolled onto the overpass. Stable speed. One day. Wen Ruo Tang sent me a photo. Bui Nghien Chu is carrying tires in front of a small car repair shop. Because of disciplinary action in the industry. In a short time, he cannot work at regular car companies. Bui's mother sat in front of the shop. Arguing with someone else. Nguyen Niem Niem also appears in the corner of the photo. No more white dresses. No more soft voice. She was grabbing Bui Nghien Chu and demanding money. Three people pulled back and forth. Chaos like a comedy. Below the photo there is only one line of text:

"Evil people will be treated by evil people."

I looked for two seconds. Then delete the photo. After work. The whole project team held a party to celebrate the new contract signed. A colleague raised his glass of water.

"Manager Hua."

"Remember to guide us from now on."

I clink glasses with everyone. Outside the window. The bright lights of Beijing. The phone on the table suddenly lit up. It's a message from Luc Dinh Van.

"The final compensation has been transferred successfully."

"Congratulations on the official closure of the case."

I replied:

"Thank you."

The chat frame stops there. No more ambiguity. Because life isn't about leaving a bad person... It's about immediately having to step into the arms of another person. In front of me. There is still a lot of road to go.
