Chapter 378 - Whose Assets (1/2)
”I understand.” Du Jingtang nodded and placed his hands on Chu Lui's desk. He finally understood why Chu Lui was acting so weird recently. It was because of her.
”Cousin. You found her, right?” Du Jingtang asked heavily.
”Yes, I met her quite a while ago.” Chu Lui covered his narrowed eyes, which were aching slightly. Four years passed, but he still brought her only humiliation and harm.
”Cousin, tell me, did you realize that you were in love with her and can't bear to let her go now?” Du Jingtang asked Chu Lui with a complex expression.
Chu Lui stiffened, and then he smiled sadly. ”I'm not sure if it's love. I just don't want to let her go, but I have no choice but to do so…” He pointed at his chest. ”It is always hurting here, even when I'm breathing.”
Du Jingtang sighed softly. ”Cousin, perhaps you're really unaware. I told you that you would regret, but do you know why I said that? You've never even considered the fact that whilst you were hating her, you might have also fallen in love with her. That's why you did everything you could to force her to the brink of insanity. All you wanted was for her to admit her wrongdoings. You wanted to be able to find her so you cut off all her possible ways to survive. Isn't that right?”
Chu Lui admitted at last. ”Yes, you're right. I just wanted her to come and beg me so I'll have a reason to forgive her. I just didn't know that she was so stubborn to disappear from my eyes for four years.”
He hadn't wanted to treat her with such cruelty when they met four years later, but every time he thought about how she was selling her body at such a place, he went wild with jealousy. That led to his hurting Xia Ruoxin without restraints, which made things unsalvageable in the end.
Du Jingtang didn't know what more to say. Blame him? Laugh at him? What he felt was more like pity. Chu Lui must have suffered a huge blow. He was feeling so guilty that it was almost driving him, a person as emotionless as a robot, mad.
He shrugged his shoulders.
”Cousin, I know that you're feeling very sorry towards Xia Ruoxin and would give her everything you have.
”But there's no need to give her half the company. It's your company. I don't know whether Aunt and Uncle will approve, but would your parents-in-law and your brother-in-law agree? Of course, what about your wife? Don't forget that your company belongs to her son— your son—in the future. Would they be happy with just half?
”I can't imagine a woman so generous to agree to her husband giving away half his fortune to his ex-wife.” Du Jingtang mulled. It was very like that his decision would be met with opposition from many ends.
If his predictions were correct, then the Chu household would be stirred into a tempest soon.
Chu Lui pursed his lips and flipped open the form for the transfer of assets, signing his name on it without any hesitation. He would find a lawyer to notarize it so that it was valid by law and couldn't be changed by anyone.
