Chapter 7 — Your Biggest Mistake Is Looking Down On Me

Standing outside the glass door, looking at me with almost pleading eyes.

"Tinh Tinh! Just meet me once... please!"

Colleagues stood by the window, pointing, watching as if they were watching a free play. I asked the assistant to pull down the curtain. Don't want to look. But he… just stood there. From morning to afternoon. It rained. He didn't avoid it either. Let the cold rain soak your hair and clothes. Trying to act out a deep and meaningful love scene... In exchange for pity. Been dead since that night of celebration. After work, I packed my things. As soon as he walked out the company door, Luc Hoai An's car stopped on time. He held a black umbrella and walked quickly to cover me from the rain.

“Let's go, I'll take you home.”

At that moment— Co Trach Xuyen seemed to go crazy and rushed forward.

“Tham Tinh Nhuoc!”

He screamed, his bloodshot eyes looking at me and Luc Hoai An.

"Did you have an affair with him from the beginning! Did you?"

Luc Hoai An immediately stepped forward. Cover me behind. His tall body... blocked those crazy eyes. He took off his vest and put it on my shoulders, blocking the cold of the night rain. Then he looked at Co Trach Xuyen. The voice was so cold that it no longer had any temperature.

“Mr. Gu, please save your face.”

“If you continue to harass Dr. Tham… I don't mind letting a lawyer talk to you.”

He paused for a moment and added.

“Humans… should know how to maintain some dignity.”

Co Trach Xuyen was stiffened by that momentum. Not even a single word could be said. From beginning to end… Not even a single glance… was given to him. I opened the car door. Leave with Luc Hoai An. In the rearview mirror... Co Trach Xuyen's figure standing in the rain became smaller and smaller. In the end… there was only a faint black dot left. He knelt down on the wet ground, screaming like a cornered animal. That so-called "deep love" came late... In the end, it only touched him. Gu Zechuan failed before me. But he still refused to stop. He started running everywhere, even to my parents, crying and begging, hoping they would advise me to turn back. My parents were already guilty because they thought I "betrayed" him. Having him perform such a scene... immediately took his side. Call me more than a dozen times a day. From affection, to coercion, to seduction. All sorts of ways... just for me to return "for the sake of the big picture".

"Tinh Nhuoc, which couple doesn't argue sometimes? Trach Xuyen already knows he's wrong, give him a chance!"

"He said, as long as you come back, the company will give it all to you! What else do you want?"

“If you don't come back... then don't recognize us as parents!”

I was pushed to the point of exhaustion by them. Finally… change phone number. Cut off all contact. Co Ze Xuyen's "deep love" drama could not move me. But… moved another person. Khuong Mieu. It's just... her "touching" is not out of pity. It's awakening. When she saw with her own eyes that Co Trach Xuyen had to throw away all her dignity for me... She finally understood. This man… it's over. No chance to get up anymore. As for herself... In this bet, besides notoriety... she got nothing. Not committed. A crazy thought arose. If you can't get anything from him... Then why... sell him. Sell for a big enough price. She proactively contacted Luc Hoai An. In a private room of the coffee shop, Khuong Mieu pushed a USB stick towards him.

“General Luc, I know you and Co Ze Xuyen are rivals. In here are all of Hoa Thinh's internal books up to now."

“Including tax evasion, financial manipulation, falsifying books to get loans... all the evidence is here.”

She took a deep breath. Offer your price.

“Just 5 million… This USB is yours.”

“With it, I guarantee… Gu Zechuan will never have a chance to return.”

Luc Hoai An did not answer immediately. He turned the decision towards me. Call to ask for advice.

“This person… how do you plan to handle it?”

I was silent for a few seconds. Khuong Mieu's provocative smile at the party that day appeared in her mind. Then… I replied, my voice cold as water.

“What she wants… for herself.”

“Use the last value of Gu Zechuan… in exchange for the second half of her life.”

“A very fair transaction.”
