Chapter 4 — It's You Don't Need Me First

Tham Nam Chi gently pulled his sleeve.

"Ky Bach, stop talking. A Mien is in a bad mood today. It's all my fault."

The words are full of self-pity. But her hand... Still didn't let go of his sleeve. At that moment, Chu's mother rushed out from inside. Following behind were the MC and hotel manager.

"What are you all standing out here for? It's almost a good time."

MC looked at us confused.

"Mr. Chu, we're still waiting for the rehearsal inside. In a moment, it will be time for the father of the bride to hand over the bride's hand, or should everyone go in first?"

My father coldly spoke:

“My daughter... I'm not sure I will give it.”

As soon as Chu's mother heard it, her face immediately changed.

“Master, what do you mean by saying that in front of so many people?”

My father never backed down.

“I mean... today the groom must give my daughter a satisfactory explanation.”

“Or... this wedding is cancelled.”

The large hall immediately fell silent. Chu Ky Bach's friends stood next to the tower of champagne glasses. The look on his face changed from being interested in watching the show... to being embarrassed. A man named Tran Tu stepped forward to mediate.

"Ky Bach, hurry up and comfort your sister-in-law. She's just been waiting so long that she's impatient. She's a girl."

Being pushed by that statement into a difficult position. Chu Ky Bach finally let go of Tham Nam Chi and walked in front of me. He held out his hand. Want to hold my hand.

"Tri Mien, let's finish the ritual first. What's going on... we'll talk about it when we go home tonight."

“Go home?”

He stopped.

“The wedding house.”

“The wedding where Tham Nam Chi lived?”

Chu Ky Bach's expression immediately changed. The tears on Tham Nam Chi's face also froze. Chu's mother shouted loudly:

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Even Hua Duong was stunned. That... I originally intended to take it with me to the grave. One week before the wedding. I went to the bride's house to bring the dowry bedding. In the dressing room... There is a light blue nightgown hanging. Not my size. On the bathroom table... Place the bottle of Tham Nam Chi perfume you often use. Chu Ky Bach explained. Nam Chi's water pipes were broken, so she only stayed one night. That night... I sat on the wedding bed. Wait until three in the morning. He still hasn't returned. At the same time... Tham Nam Chi posted a post on his friends circle. Photo of two bowls of noodles in the kitchen. The status line has only one sentence:

"If someone cooks noodles for me, the long nights won't be cold anymore."

Chu Ky Bach's roar became heavy.

“Tong Tri Mien, do you really have to bring up family matters in front of everyone?”

I looked at the red flower pinned on his chest.

“You brought someone else into our house first.”

Tham Nam Chi suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.

"A Mien, I didn't sleep in your wedding bed. I slept in the guest room. That night I had a fever. Ky Bach was afraid something would happen if I was alone so I stayed."

There were rumors from all around.

"That's normal. If someone has a fever, shouldn't they just ignore it?"

“The bride is too sensitive.”

"If you make such a fuss on your wedding day, how will you live together in the future?"

Hearing those whispers, Chu Ky Bach's expression softened a bit.

"Did you hear that? I'm not the only one who thinks you're overdoing it."

My heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. At that moment... Tham Nam Chi raised his hand to wipe away his tears. The sleeves slid down. On her wrist appeared one blue jade bracelet. My mother's expression immediately changed.

“That is the dowry I prepared for Mien Mien.”

Tham Nam Chi followed her eyes and looked down at his wrist, then backed away in panic. The jade bracelet radiates gentle light under the light. Chu Ky Bach reflexively stepped up to block in front of her.

“Auntie, there is a misunderstanding about this.”

My father took a step forward, his voice low and chilling.

“Chu Ky Bach, tell her to take off the bracelet.”

Tham Nam Chi hugged his wrist tightly.

“I'll take it off... I'll take it off right now.”

But the more frantic she became, the tighter the bracelet became, making it impossible to remove. Seeing more and more guests gathered to watch, Chu's mother immediately turned and shouted loudly to the MC:

"Turn up the music! Please take your seats first!"

The melodious wedding music immediately echoed throughout the hall. Tham Nam Chi's sobs mixed with the music. As for Chu Ky Bach... Holding her wrist, carefully helping her remove the jade bracelet.
