Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Is That Really Me? (1)_1

It seemed fine when these past events weren’t brought up. But when they were, he realized how terrible of a man he used to be!

Apart from the wedding photo, there was...

Thinking about it, Zhang Te blurted out, "On the day we got the marriage license, you didn’t go home. You didn’t even go home for half a year afterwards! It was only when the old lady scolded you that you finally went home! You have no idea... For half of that year, at first, the old lady blamed me for not reminding you to go home. How could she blame me? I reminded you more than once, but you wouldn’t listen. The funniest thing is that you never went home during the first half-year after marriage. And one time at a party, you saw your wife. I pointed her out to you, and you actually asked me, ’Who is she’?"

"I told you then, ’That’s your legal wife. ’ Then I asked you if you wanted to greet her, and you said it was unnecessary."

Han Jingnian, who had been listening to Zhang Te’s ramblings the whole time, heard this and trembled violently, knocking the cup of water on the table onto the floor.

The porcelain cup shattered on contact with the ground.

The noise woke Zhang Te up to his mistake. He had said everything he should have said, and even the things he should not have said!

He had just openly accused the boss... Wasn’t this going to be the end for him?

Zhang Te became more and more terrified. He timidly raised his eyes to look at Han Jingnian.

The man sitting at the office desk had his lips a tight line; he seemed to be suppressing some emotional turbulence in his chest.

After just one glance, Zhang Te felt completely subdued, "Mr. Han, I..."

He wanted to say, I was wrong, and I’ll work overtime for a year without any compensation!

But before he could say a word, Han Jingnian raised his head and looked at him.

Zhang Te was so scared that his legs weakened, and he almost knelt on the ground. Just as he was thinking of retreating as the best strategy, Han Jingnian spoke with a trembling voice, "Was that really me?"

Is the person you’re talking about the man I used to be?

Did I really treat her like you said I did?

Han Jingnian’s words left Zhang Te dumbfounded.

Mr. Han... did not scold him? No, there was something wrong with his voice... It sounded like he was upset?

Zhang Te raised his head again and looked at Han Jingnian closely.

Although Han Jingnian was trying hard to keep his emotions steady, his trembling fingers on the desk betrayed his current state of mind.

So, his reaction was not because he got angry, rather, he was... feeling guilty about what he said?

"Mr. Han..." Zhang Te tried to comfort Han Jingnian.

But before he could finish, Han Jingnian interrupted him, "You can leave now."

Zhang Te didn’t dare to say another word and left as soon as he heard this.

As Zhang Te closed the office door behind him, the room became much quieter.

Han Jingnian stayed in the same posture on his office chair, stunned for a long time. Only then did he blink slightly, leaned back in his chair, and closed his sore eyes.

Had it not been for Zhang Cheng mentioning the past, he would never have realized how indifferent he had been to her. Unbelievably so!
