Chapter 7 — It's You Don't Need Me First
Chu's mother suddenly rushed forward and grabbed my wrist tightly.
"Mien Mien, I beg you. Just finish organizing the wedding first. After that, you can punish Ky Bach however you want. Go home and make him kneel on durian peels, or kneel all night."
She squeezed very tightly. Nails dug deep into my skin.
“Auntie, you hurt me.”
But Chu's mother seemed not to hear.
"All the wedding invitations have been distributed, the bride price has been received, and the wedding photos have been taken. If I don't get married today, what will people say? I'm a girl, the marriage was annulled, and who will dare to get married again in the future?"
My mother stepped forward and pushed her away.
“My daughter is not a commodity waiting to be taken.”
Being pushed back a few steps, the gentle mask on Chu's mother's face was completely shattered.
"Don't speak too loudly. Which family dares to marry a bride who dares to disrupt the wedding right on the wedding day? Ky Bach's conditions are set out there, it's not easy for you Song family to climb to it."
My father raised his hand. A slap fell. The crisp sound of tea drowned out all the surrounding chatter. Chu's mother covered her face and stared at my father, not daring to believe it. My father said every word:
“My daughter, Tong Ba Nien, does not need to rely on anyone.”
Chu Ky Bach immediately rushed forward.
“On what basis did you attack my mother?”
The moment he raised his hand... Bui Chieu Xuyen held his wrist tightly. The two struggled right in the middle of the red carpet. At that moment, Tham Nam Chi suddenly screamed.
“My hand... hurts so much... the bracelet is stuck!”
She hugged her wrist and sat down. The skin under the jade bracelet was red and swollen. Chu Ky Bach reflexively looked at her. Then looked back at me. Just for that second... He still hesitated. That little hesitation... It hurt me more than him turning around and leaving immediately. In the end, Chu Ky Bach still shook Bui Chieu Xuyen's hand away and squatted down next to Tham Nam Chi.
“Don't cry, I'll take you to the hospital.”
Tham Nam Chi grabbed his shirt tightly, crying until he choked on every breath.
"Ky Bach, did I ruin your wedding? I didn't mean to, I really didn't want to do that."
Chu Ky Bach closed his eyes.
“Let's deal with the hands first.”
Chu's mother immediately chimed in.
"That's right, go to the hospital first. Mien Mien, I'll go with you too, take the bracelet back and then we'll go back to continue the ceremony."
Hua Duong couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out a curse.
"The Chu family is really good at arranging it. Did the wedding turn into a group trip to the hospital?"
Chu's mother's face was distorted with anger.
“You shut up!”
My mother supported my shoulder.
“Mian Mien, let's go.”
“Don't go.”
As soon as I finished speaking... All eyes turned to me. A ray of hope flashed in Chu Ky Bach's eyes. He thought I was finally giving in. I picked up the microphone that the MC dropped on the table. A deafening screeching sound rang out. The entire hall immediately became quiet. The hotel manager hurriedly walked over.
“Miss Tong, let's talk slowly about something.”
I tightened my grip on the microphone.
“Dear all relatives and friends, sorry for making you take the trouble to come here.”
Throat tight. But I continued.
“Today...
This wedding is cancelled." Chu Ky Bach jumped up.
“Tong Tri Mien!”
I looked straight at him.
“Chu Ky Bach, from today, we break up.”
“We haven't registered our marriage yet, so there's no such thing divorce."
"The bride price, the wedding banquet expenses and all the money for congratulations go back and forth. Later, both families will sit down and calculate clearly."
Chu's mother rushed forward to grab the microphone.
“You're crazy!”
Bui Chieu Xuyen took a step faster and stood in front of her. My father stood next to me, his voice cold as steel.
“Who dares to touch my daughter again...
I immediately reported to the police.” Below the row of guests, relatives of the Chu family began to whisper.
“It's too great to do it to this extent.”
“But at this point, we really can't get married anymore.”
"Chu Ky Bach is also outrageous, even on the wedding day he took another woman to the hospital."
Tran Tu quickly pulled Chu Ky Bach back.
“Ky Bach, stop arguing. Sister-in-law is just angry, please go down to the water for a bit.”
Chu Ky Bach's eyes were bloodshot. But it's not because of regret. It's anger at having lost face in front of so many people.
“Tong Tri Mien, think carefully.”
“Today I walked out this door...
I won't coax you from now on." Hearing that sentence... I just want to laugh. During the past five years... I can only count the number of times he comforted me with one hand. Every time we quarrel... Only bank transfer.
