Chapter 21 — Unlock Message 8.72 Billion After Divorce

Grandpa glared at me.

"Are you planning on leaving it to that guy named Co?"

"Grandpa..."

"Okay, don't ask anymore."

He picked up the apple on the nightstand and took a bite.

"But tell me first, if he dares to treat me badly in the future..."

"...you will use a stick to break his legs."

"He wouldn't dare."

Three months later. To Thi Group's annual celebration was held on the 68th floor of Giang Thanh International Hotel. The entire auditorium had more than 500 guests. Almost all famous figures in Jiangcheng's political and commercial circles were present. I wore a white Dior haute couture dress, standing on stage amid bright lights.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you everyone for coming to tonight's ceremony."

"Over the past twenty years, To Thi Group has developed from a small construction materials company into a multi-industry corporation with three key areas of real estate, finance and technology."

"That result..."

"...doesn't belong to just one person."

"...which belongs to all of us."

"In the past half year, To Thi has gone through many challenges."

"From internal restructuring..."

"...to pressures from outside..."

"...and the harshness of the market."

"But in the end..."

"...To Thi is still standing."

"Today..."

"...I would like to announce three things."

"The first."

"To Thi Group officially launched the listing process on the A-share stock exchange."

"It is expected to be completed in the third quarter of next year."

Applause rang out.

"The Tan Thanh project north of the river jointly developed by To Thi Group and Co Thi Group has completed the topping out of the entire first phase."

"The total investment capital of the project reaches 12 billion yuan, expected to create 8,000 jobs."

The applause was even louder than before.

"Tuesday..."

I stopped for a few seconds. Under the front row. Co Thua Trach was quietly looking at me.

"Third thing..."

"...it's a private matter."

The entire auditorium immediately fell silent.

"Half a year ago..."

"...someone once told me..."

"...that wearing a vest is better than wearing an apron."

A few laughs rang out below.

"Today..."

"...I want to tell that person..."

"...wearing a suit is fine..."

"...wearing an apron is fine..."

"...the important thing has never been what I wear."

"...but that..."

"...who is the person standing next to me?"

I looked towards Co Thua Trach. He slowly stood up. Then step by step step onto the stage. More than 500 eyes followed his figure. Until he stopped in front of me. He took out a small box from his vest pocket. A 6-carat diamond sparkles under the light.

"The words I never had time to say twelve years ago..."

"...today I want to make up for it."

He looked deeply into my eyes.

"Marry me."

The applause and cheers almost shook the entire auditorium. I received the ring. Wear it on your ring finger yourself. Five years later. To Thi Group officially listed on the A-share stock exchange. Capitalization value exceeds 120 billion yuan. The capitalization value of Co Thi Group also increased to 200 billion yuan. The Tan Thanh project north of the river has become a model project of Giang Thanh. For three consecutive years, it was voted "The most typical urban complex in the country." Co Thua Trach and I got married. They have a daughter together. The girl's name is Co To Van. Grandfather's health recovered Very good. Every day he takes care of flowers, drinks tea, and plays with his niece in a large apartment in Phi Thuy Loan. He often said.

"The biggest regret of his life..."

"...was not pulling you out of the Luc family earlier last year."

I just laughed.

"What a pity."

"If I hadn't gone through that time..."

"...you'll never know..."

"...how strong I am."

As for Luc Vien Chau. There was one time. On the way driving past the labor area. From afar I saw a figure squatting in front of a roadside noodle shop. Messy hair. Wrinkled clothes. The back is bent down. Next to him is Tien Tu Phuong. The two of them ate a bowl of noodles together. The driver asked me.

"General Director To..."

"...do we need to stop the car?"

I shook my head. The car passed through the alley in the working area. Then run onto the overpass. Sunlight passes through the glass window. I bowed my head and looked at the ring on my hand. The 6 carat diamond reflects in the sunlight. Radiating sparkling rainbow colors. The phone suddenly rang. It's Co Thua Trach.

"Remember to come home for dinner tonight."

"Van Van knows how to call dad."

I laughed out loud.

"I know."

I leaned back in the chair. Quietly watching Giang Thanh outside the car window. This city is very big. So big that it can contain all the love, hatred, and resentment of humans. But this city is also very small. So small that just turning around... ...is enough to meet a new beginning. Three years of marriage... ...have taught me something. Never give your life into anyone's hands. Because from beginning to end... You always belong to yourself.
