Chapter 5 — Three Years of Goose Thighs

But what about us?” He pointed to his eyebrow bone, the scar that I once considered a symbol of love and courage. "Giang Xuyen." I calmly looked at him. "That year, I left a scar to save you. Later, to save my company I invested five million. This favor has already been paid off." His body shook violently, as if all his strength had been drained. "I was wrong, Nhien Nhien, I was really wrong." He choked up. "Can we start from the beginning? I don't need anything, I just need you." I looked at him, the man I once loved so deeply, suddenly felt nothing. The elevator arrived and the door slowly opened. I walked in and pressed the close button. I looked at his desperate face, gently opened my mouth. "You're not wrong." "You're just not worthy." The phone lit up, it was a photo sent by Ms. Ly. A table of hot family food, next to a bouquet of newly arranged gardenia flowers. "Madam, it's a beautiful sunny day today. I cut some flowers in the yard, waiting for you to come home for dinner." I replied with one word: "Okay." The speed at which Wen Thi Communications entered orbit was faster than I imagined. Recruited talents and new projects make this building once again come to life. That day, I arranged to meet my new partner at the coffee shop downstairs at the company. The other person was late, so I sat for a while longer. A figure both familiar and unfamiliar sat down opposite me. It's Lam Nguyet. She had lost a lot of weight, and the light in her eyes was no longer there. "Sister On Nhien, I have nowhere else to go." She stirred the glass of water in front of her, not ordering anything. "Giang Xuyen kicked me out. He hates me, he feels that I ruined him." I looked out the window, not responding. She suddenly laughed. "You know, when he first pursued me, the thing he talked about the most was you. He said you were strong, said you were tasteless, said you were no longer the girl that made him flutter in the past." "He said, on me, he saw your young figure." She leaned forward and said word by word: "Sister On Nhien, we are the same type of people. We were all tricked by him. were all destroyed by him.” I withdrew my gaze and looked at her. I took my phone out of my pocket, opened the recruitment application, and pushed it in front of her. "Hope your intelligence is used in the right path."9 Not long after, Giang Xuyen's father made an appointment to meet me. He was much older than the last time we met, his gray hair was very clear on both temples. "Nien Nhien, I know, Giang Xuyen is sorry for you." He personally made me a cup of tea, his movements calm. "Our Giang family is also sorry for you." "Things have come to this point, talking too much is useless. Today I came to you, to ask you something." I picked up the tea cup and didn't drink it. "Giang Xuyen... it's about to get bad." "The company is gone, the house is gone. He locks himself in his room all day and drinks, not seeing anyone. The other day, he cut his wrist, luckily his mother found out early.” My fingers gently caressed the edge of the warm cup. "The doctor said, he has a very serious tendency towards depression. Nhien Nhien, I know your request is very excessive. But respecting our previous relationship, we also considered it harmonious, respecting it... used to help me. Can I go visit it a bit?” His eyes were filled with pleading. "Even if it's just a scolding, it's okay. Let the suffocation in his heart escape, don't just choke to death like that." I put down the tea cup and stood up. "Uncle, that year the knife in the hands of the traffickers was aimed at me. He rushed forward, that was his choice. The five hundred thousand my father gave me is also my choice." "Between us, the payment has already been paid." I looked at him. "There's still a bit of a lump in his heart, that's his own business. I'm not a doctor.

His illness could not be cured. Besides, why do I have to save someone who once wanted to push me to death? The smell of sandalwood in the tea room cannot hide the sadness of people's hearts. I pulled the door open and didn't turn around anymore. After that, the world was completely quiet. I no longer hear any news about the Giang family anymore. Until early winter. That day there was the first snow since winter. After attending a dinner party, I told the driver to take me home. The car stopped in front of the villa. Under the streetlight, Giang Xuyen huddled in front of my house, her body covered with a thin layer of snow. I didn't say anything, walked around him, walked towards the main gate. "Nhuan Nhien!" His knees softened, he knelt on the snowy ground. "Don't go... please, I really know I'm wrong..." The door opened, Ms. Ly was already waiting at the door. Ms. Ly took my coat and brought me a bowl of hot soup. "Boss, it's cold outside, drink a bowl of soup to warm yourself." I took it. I took a sip. The soup is very sweet. End of full text.
