Chapter 14
Chapter 14 — The day my sister-in-law tore up the debt papers, I caused the entire Giang family to collapse
I never thought... I would meet you again in this way. My college senior. Also the person... I once placed in my heart, loved for four years of my youth. At that time, we were the couple that the whole school admired the most. Go to school together. Sit together in the library. Let's imagine the future together. I used to think... We would go from school uniforms together... To wedding dresses. But on graduation day... He disappeared without saying goodbye. Don't leave any comments. Just like that completely left my world. I used to frantically search for him for a long time. Searching to the point of almost going crazy. But still no news. I met Giang Phong. He treats me very well. Very gentle. I used to think... Maybe I can let go of the past and start a new life. I married him. I buried all my memories and regrets for Chau Mo deep in my heart. I used to think... We would never see each other again in this lifetime. But fate... It really likes to tease people.
“It's really me…”
Chau Mo walked towards me step by step. His voice was very soft, but still couldn't hide the trembling at the bottom of his voice. To Nam, standing next to me, lightly nudged me with his elbow, reminding me to regain my composure. I took a deep breath, trying to suppress my chaotic emotions. Then looked at him, giving him a standard social smile.
“Hello, General Manager Chau.”
"I'm Tran Hi, the designer in charge of this project."
My polite way of addressing me and my distant tone caused the light in his eyes to immediately dim somewhat. He stopped walking. Then he quickly restored the calm appearance of a man who had been working in the business world for many years.
“Hello, Miss Tran.”
The exchange that day went extremely smoothly. Chau Mo is very professional. For our design plan, he provided many extremely sharp and in-depth editing opinions. From start to finish… We just talked about work. No one mentioned the past. We were really just business partners meeting for the first time. After the meeting ends. To Nam made an excuse to have something to do and left first. Before leaving, he winked at me meaningfully. She intentionally left space for us. In the large suite room... Only Chau Mo and I were left. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. Still he spoke first.
“Have you lived well these past few years?”
I replied leisurely. He looked at me, his eyes carrying unconcealed guilt.
“I'm sorry.”
I picked up the cup of coffee in front of me and took a sip.
“The past is over.”
He stubbornly shook his head.
“That has never happened before.”
“You left that year… for a reason.”
I looked at him but didn't say anything, just silently waited for him to continue.
“Something happened at your house.”
"Your father's company went bankrupt and still had a huge debt."
“I was forced to go abroad to shoulder everything.”
“I don't dare contact you…”
“Because I don't know if I can go back or not.”
“I don't want to disappoint you.”
His voice is very low. Carrying the heavy feeling of the years gone by.
“It took me eight years…”
“Just paid off all my debt.”
“It took eight years…”
“Just rebuilt my career.”
“This time back…”
“I really want to find you.”
“But then I heard you were married.”
Speaking of this, his eye rims were slightly red go up.
“I thought…”
“I have completely lost you.”
I listened quietly to everything. My heart is filled with all kinds of emotions. This is the truth of that year. I used to complain. Used to hate you. But now... After listening to his explanation... Those feelings seemed to all disappear.
“I'm divorced.”
I said softly. Chau Mo's eyes immediately lit up. He walked quickly towards me. Then took my hand. His hand is very warm. Also very powerful.
“Can you give me one more chance?”
His hot eyes locked on me.
“I know…”
“I owe you a lot.”
“But please believe me…”
“I will never let go of your hand again.”
I looked at him. Look at the sincerity and deep affection in his eyes. The heart that was thought to be dead... began to beat violently and uncontrollably again. Tears gradually blurred my vision. I used to think... I no longer had the ability to vibrate. But at this moment I realized... My heart is still alive. And it's still beating because of the man in front of it. I don't answer. Just quietly squeezed his hand back. Outside the window... The red sunset covered the sky. The sunset dyed the whole world into a gentle warm color. My new life... From this moment it truly begins.
