Chapter 3 — Easy Goodbye, New Meeting Again?

Tran Van Tu explained: "Kieu Kieu is Niem Niem's close friend. Niem Niem is cowardly, so today she deliberately came with Niem Niem." My parents' faces immediately turned a little colder. Luong Kieu did not notice the strange atmosphere, smiling and sitting right next to Tran Van Tu. She even called out to the waiter: "Our future groom has a bad stomach and can't drink cold drinks."

“Ah yes, let's brew the tea a little longer.”

After speaking, she leaned closer to Tran Van Tu, smiled and said: "Do I remember well? I remember your mother likes to drink light tea." Tran Van Tu burst out laughing. The familiar feeling, the feeling of being left out, came back again. Obviously I'm the heroine of the engagement party today, but Luong Kieu looks even more like the future daughter-in-law of the Tran family than me. Tran's mother smiled and said: "I didn't expect Niem Niem to have such a thoughtful best friend." Luong Kieu smiled gracefully:

"Your compliments make me feel embarrassed. I just think an engagement is an important thing, especially with a personality like Niem Niem, it's even more important to arrange everything in advance."

She took out her phone and opened the notes section.

"I thought about it a bit last night. The best hotel should be located in the South area, where parking is convenient and the space is also quiet."

“Nien Niem doesn't like being stared at by too many people, small halls like a room would suit her better.”

Tran's mother was a bit surprised. “Did Luong prepare all these things?” Luong Kieu smiled: "I'm just thinking about it, Niem Niem is often careless, I'm afraid she can't handle these things." Tran Van Tu looked at her, his voice relaxed: "You think much more thoughtfully than I do." Luong Kieu winked at him: "It's not like one day you two knew I was trustworthy." I opened my mouth to say: "Actually I..." Luong Kieu suddenly interrupted:

"And there's also the return gift, I don't think you should choose something too sweet. Van Tu doesn't like sweets, so maybe aunt and uncle Tran won't like it either."

Tran Van Tu laughed and followed: "Yes, my mother likes frugal things."

“I know that.” Luong Kieu immediately continued, "So I plan to choose the white tea set, which is both polite and not cheesy."

But I hate white tea the most. I took a deep breath and said: "Tran Van Tu." He didn't look at me, he didn't even hear me calling. Luong Kieu was leaning over to show him the phone.

"Look at this lobby, the light is very beautiful, photography will definitely be beautiful. Niem Niem is not good at communication, just let her speak less, you can speak for her."

Tran Van Tu lowered his head to look, "Yes, that's okay." I stared at his profile and shouted:

“Tran Van Tu!”

He still didn't hear. He is engrossed in discussing his engagement with Luong Kieu. I suddenly found it tasteless. Really tasteless. The bowstring that had been tight in my chest for so long suddenly broke. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I forcefully threw the chopsticks down on the table. A deafening "pop" sounded. The whole party was stunned. Only then did Tran Van Tu hear, turn to look at me and frown: "What are you doing? The adults are here, why are you throwing chopsticks for?" With an expression full of dissatisfaction, he reached out to pull my wrist. I violently shook his hand away, "Tran Van Tu, how many times have I opened my mouth just now?"

“Did you catch any words?”

Tran Van Tu was stunned.

“You I didn't hear you because I was just listening to what she said."

“If you like listening to Luong Kieu so much, then go and get engaged to her!”

My eyes were red, my chest was heaving violently. I took a few deep breaths before reluctantly calming down:

"Tran Van Tu, please cancel the engagement."

5 Tran Van Tu seemed not to hear clearly, "What did you say?" I looked at him, clearly saying every word: "I said, cancel the engagement."

“Let's break up now.”
