Chapter 5 — It's You Don't Need Me First

The jade bracelet... Can't be removed. Tham Nam Chi was in so much pain that he continuously inhaled, tears rolling down drop by drop. Chu Ky Bach half knelt in front of her, each movement was gentle as if touching a fragile object. This morning, when the makeup artist put on my veil, she accidentally clipped my hair. I frowned in pain. At that time, Chu Ky Bach just coldly said over the phone:

“Just bear with it a bit, don't delay.”

And now... He patiently coaxed Tham Nam Chi.

“Don't be afraid, take it slow.”

More and more guests gathered. My mother stared at the jade bracelet, her eyes red.

"This is a souvenir my mother left behind. The day Mien Mien got married, I personally placed it in the dowry box."

Chu's mother's face looked a bit unnatural. But she still stands by Tham Nam Chi.

"Maybe Mien Mien let Nam Chi borrow it to wear. Girls are still like that."

"Do not have."

Tham Nam Chi suddenly raised his head, cried and said:

"A Mien, I'm sorry. I thought the bracelet was so beautiful so I tried it on for a bit, then forgot to take it off."

“Where to try it on?”

My voice is very quiet. She bit her lip.

“At... the bride's house.”

“Who let you open the dowry box?”

Tham Nam Chi's face immediately turned pale. Chu Ky Bach quickly spoke up:

"It's me. That day, while packing, I saw that the trunk was unlocked, so Nam Chi just helped a little."

My father was so angry that he burst out laughing.

“My daughter's dowry... you let another woman clean it up?”

Chu Ky Bach stood up.

"Uncle, Nam Chi is not another woman. She is my friend who grew up with me since childhood."

“Can friends arbitrarily search the bride's dowry?”

Chu Ky Bach was silent. Tham Nam Chi cried even harder.

"Uncle Tong, don't blame Ky Bach. It's because I talk too much. I've never seen such a beautiful bracelet so I just wanted to try it on. I know I'm not worthy, so just scold me."

She's always like that. First, lower yourself down to the mud. Then force everyone to stand up for you. Sure enough... The Chu family's aunt immediately spoke up.

"Nam Chi has been miserable since she was a child. She has never seen these things. How about trying them on? It's not stealing."

My mother was so angry that she was shaking.

"If you've never seen it, can you casually touch someone else's dowry?"

Chu's mother pulled my mother's hand.

"Tinh Nghi, today is a happy day, don't fight over a bracelet. It's okay to take it off. Later, I'll tell Ky Bach to buy Mien Mien an even more expensive one."

"No need."

I walked in front of Tham Nam Chi and slowly extended my hand.

“If you can't remove it...

Then go to the hospital and have it removed.” Chu Ky Bach immediately frowned.

“Tong Tri Mien, you know where to stop.”

“She wore the dowry my mother gave me to attend my own wedding, and you told me to stop?”

“She already apologized.”

“Sorry...

Is it possible to return the lost decency? Chu Ky Bach took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger.

"So what do you want? Report it to the police? Let everyone see the joke?"

Right at that moment. Outside the hall door, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

“Why can't you report it to the police?”

The crowd automatically split to the sides. A man wearing a black suit entered. In his hand he held the car keys, his face was calm and indifferent. Looking clearly at the person who just arrived... Chu Ky Bach's face became even more unsightly than.

“Bui Chieu Xuyen, what are you doing here?”

Bui Chieu Xuyen is my college senior. Also the son of an old friend of my father. That year, when I just started falling in love with Chu Ky Bach... He reminded me once. Chu Ky Bach treats everyone with courtesy. Only with the closest people... And stingy with patience. I didn't believe it then. After that, the two had less contact. I only know that you have been assigned to work at the City Court. Bui Chieu Xuyen nodded slightly to greet my parents. His eyes stopped on me. He didn't ask any more questions. Just calmly say:

“Uncle Tong told me to come pick you up.”

Chu Ky Bach smiled coldly.

"Pick up who? Pick up my bride?"

Bui Chieu Xuyen looked straight at him.

“Looking at the current situation...

Not necessarily your bride.” There was an immediate stir around. Chu Ky Bach took a half step forward and lowered his voice.

“This is Tri Mien and I's wedding, it's not your turn to interfere.”

Bui Chieu Xuyen still stood in place.

“I just saw people arbitrarily wearing other people's property.”

“The owner asked to take it back.”

“But the person holding it back won't pay it back.”

Tham Nam Chi quickly cried and explained:

“It's not that I don't pay, it's just... I can't take it off.”

Bui Chieu Xuyen nodded.

“Then go to the hospital.”

“Retain all inspection and processing records.”
