Chapter 13 — It's You Don't Need Me First

The ambulance is still coming. Chu Ky Bach didn't carry her anymore. The police and hotel staff rushed to handle the situation. Ly Que Cam cried while following the medical staff. When Tham Nam Chi was helped onto the stretcher, she still stared at Chu Ky Bach.

“Are you just standing there looking like that?”

Chu Ky Bach stood still, his throat moving slightly.

“Nam Chi, you go to the hospital first.”

“I'll come with you.”

He didn't move. Tham Nam Chi laughed bitterly.

“You're afraid that Tong Tri Mien doesn't need you anymore, right?”

Chu Ky Bach's face was extremely ugly. I don't look at him. Bui Chieu Xuyen gave the list to the hotel manager. After confirming that public area cameras could be extracted, my father and the Chu family began to discuss compensation. Chu's mother no longer had any energy like before. She sat in a chair, her cheeks still swollen, her eyes blank. Chu Ky Bach's aunt still wanted to argue.

"The wedding was canceled, the loss is so big, how can the Chu family bear it all?"

My father put the phone on the table. In the clearly recorded video, Chu Ky Bach told the bride to take the car herself, Tham Nam Chi wore my jade bracelet to enter the wedding, Chu's mother even grabbed me.

“If we want to count... we will count according to responsibility.”

Chu Ky Bach's aunt immediately fell silent. Chu Ky Bach suddenly walked in front of me. He looked like he had been up all night, his eyes were bloodshot.

“Tri Mien, let me take you home.”

Hua Duong stepped up to block the two people.

“Don't mind me.”

“I want to say a few words to her.”

“She doesn't want to hear it.”

Chu Ky Bach did not look at Hua Duong. He just looked at me.

“Give me five minutes.”

There have been so many times... I just wanted five minutes of his time. In the salon trying on wedding dresses. Outside the hospital hallway. Every night he leaves me behind. He agreed. But I don't need it anymore.

“You say it.”

Bui Chieu Xuyen took two steps back. But he still didn't stand too far away. Chu Ky Bach looked straight into my eyes, his voice hoarse.

"I really don't want you to be upset. I thought Nam Chi was just too dependent on me, and I also thought you always understood me."

“I don't think... because I never paid attention.”

His eye rims became even redder.

"In the future, I will change. I will repair the wedding house from the beginning, the wedding will also be held again. I will find the best person to repair the jade bracelet. I will not see Nam Chi anymore, I will change the lock, change the key, and delete all means of communication."

“Chu Ky Bach, the jade bracelet is broken.”

I held up the evidence bag in my hand.

“There are things... even if you fix them, they are no longer original.”

He reached out to touch the bag. But then stopped midway.

“What about us?”

“It's broken too.”

Those two words just fell... He felt like someone had given him a strong blow. Shoulders also slumped. Chu's mother suddenly rushed forward.

"Mian Mien, I'm sorry. Before, I was an idiot. Don't break up with Ky Bach again. You two have loved each other for five years, how can you say they broke up?"

“Uncle, didn't you say I was too noble and not easy to control?”

Chu's mother's face immediately turned pale.

"It was Nam Chi who instigated you."

"So she also forced you to give the key to the wedding house?"

Chu's mother had nothing more to say. My father walked over from the table.

“Mian Mien, the inventory is complete Already."

I nodded slightly. Chu Ky Bach quickly asked:

“Are you going to the wedding house?”

“I'll go get my things.”

“I'll come with you.”

"No need."

His voice trembled.

“It's also our home.”

“Not anymore.”

Outside the hotel, it was completely dark. This must be the time when Chu Ky Bach and I go to each table to glass wine. But on the banquet table there were only cold dishes that no one had touched, and on the red carpet there were still trampled lily-of-the-valley branches. When I stepped out of the hotel door, the afternoon wind gently blew my veil. The veil hasn't been taken off yet. At that moment, Chu Ky Bach's voice called me from behind.

“Tong Tri Mien!”

I turned my head. He stood under the hotel lights, the red flower on his chest was completely askew, unsightly and disheveled.

“You... really don't need me anymore?”
