Chapter 10 — You Lost Me In The Paris Snow Season

Divorce negotiations are set for 10 a.m. domestic time. It was early morning for me in Paris. It was just dawn, the coffee cup was still steaming. When the video connected, Ha Thua Chu was leaning on the hospital bed, his face gray. Sitting next to her is Ha's mother. On the opposite side are lawyer Luong and his representative lawyer. As soon as he saw me, Ha Thua Chu's eyes immediately changed.

"Tri Y. You're skinny."

I looked straight at the camera: "Let's negotiate the terms." He choked. Ha's mother next to her couldn't help but interject: "Do you have to do this to the point of losing your love and meaning?" I put down my coffee cup: "The loss of love means the dispersal of assets during the marriage, not my reclaiming it." Lawyer Luong pushed the list of requests to:

"First, divorce. Second, divide the common property after marriage in Mr. Ha's name according to the law. Third, collect all illegally given property in Ms. Manh Nha's name. Fourth, compensate for mental damage. Fifth, reserve the right to sue regarding evidence of termination of pregnancy three years ago."

Ha Thua Chu's representative lawyer's face changed slightly: "Miss Tham, if you dig deeper into the last item, it will not be good for the reputation of both sides." I calmly replied: "Then don't do such an unsightly thing in the first place." Ha Thua Chu hung his head, blue veins clearly visible on the back of his hand.

"Tri Y, I admit I owe you that matter. I am willing to compensate."

I looked at him: "You can't compensate. The baby is gone. I'm physically damaged. My career has stagnated for six years. These things can't be erased by writing a check." Ha's mother banged on the table: "Don't blame everything on Thua Chu! At that time, you also nodded in agreement!" I laughed: "That's why I kept the recording." Ha's mother's face turned pale. In the video, no one spoke. Lawyer Luong opened an audio file. Ha's mother's voice from the past came from the computer: "Thua Chu is about to take the exam, now giving birth to a child will only hinder him. If you truly love him, don't distract him." The next paragraph is from Ha Thua Chu: "Tri Y, wait for me to stabilize. Don't hold back this time. You're the one who understands the most." I can't listen to it all, so I just turn it off. The Parisian sunlight shined down on the table, so bright it was blinding. But Ha Thua Chu's eyes turned red: "At that time, it wasn't that I didn't want to keep it, I just thought there would still be a chance in the future." I looked at him: "Your life always has 'later'. As for my injury, there is only 'then'." In the meeting room, no one offered any further advice. Ha Thua Chu's lawyer whispered a few words to him, but he still just stared at me.

“If I sign, will you come see me once?”

I answered: “No.” He felt like someone had slapped him: "You didn't even agree to meet me once?"

"Ha Thua Chu, I'm not leaving so you can chase me. I'm leaving so I never have to see you again."

His lips moved but no words came out. At that moment, lawyer Luong's phone lit up. After reading the message, he slightly raised his eyebrows.

“Miss Tham, there is a new situation.”

I looked over: "Tell me." Lawyer Luong projected a screenshot onto the projector. Manh Nha just posted a long article on social networks. She complains that she was betrayed by the man had a cheating wife. She said Ha Thua Chu promised to divorce her to marry her, and said Ha's mother also approved her entering the Ha family. She also released photos of chat messages, including a message from Ha Thua Chu: *Tham Tri Y is like an old piece of furniture in the house. After using it for a long time, it would be a shame to throw it away.* When I read that line, I didn't feel any pain in my heart, I just felt cold. But Ha Thua Chu's expression immediately changed: "Is she crazy?" Ha's mother screamed shrilly: "You little brat!" The other side of the screen was in chaos. I raised my cup of coffee and took a sip. "Very good." Ha Thua Chu looked at me stunned: "What's good about it?" I calmly replied: "She proved for me that the relationship between the two of them was illegal. She also proved that the Ha family knew completely about the situation. It saved me a lot of work." Ha Thua Chu's face gradually turned gray. He finally understood. Manh Nha was not taking revenge on me, she was giving me the knife. Lawyer Luong quickly spoke up: "We will immediately proceed to preserve evidence and submit additional documents to the court." Ha Thua Chu's lawyer stood up: "Today's negotiations stop here." I looked at Ha Thua Chu: "Okay. But pausing does not mean prolonging the time. If you hesitate one more day, Manh Nha will spit out another thing. If you want to keep something, consider it yourself." Before turning off the video, I saw Ha Thua Chu grab the phone. He was probably planning to call Manh Nha. But once Manh Nha makes a move, she won't stop easily. Sure enough, three minutes later, Duong Tranh sent a message: "She posted another post. This time there is also a recording file." I pressed open. Manh Nha's voice cried and asked Ha Thua Chu: "When will you finally get a divorce?" Ha Thua Chu's voice was very low: "Wait until she helps you pass the academic qualification test. She still has value to use." I placed the phone face down on the table. Outside, the sky was bright and bright. As for the hospital room in the country at this time, it was definitely freezing cold.
