Chapter 10 — Late Love You

At the wedding, the bride and groom were extremely compatible, their faces radiant with happiness, their eyes only looking at each other. I sat under the stage and applauded, suddenly remembering when Pho Canh Tham and I got married. At that time, word spread throughout the city. The Pho family criticized me for not being able to support them and only held a party at the hotel, inviting all relatives in the house. Dad saw that I was suffering and cried like rain during the ceremony. While walking the red carpet, my father gave my hand to Pho Canh Tham. He didn't interlock ten fingers with mine, but instead grabbed my wrist, his expression cold as if marrying me was a terrible injustice. I closed my eyes to collect my thoughts, then suddenly saw Pho Canh Tham walk in under the guidance of the groom's father. Four eyes looked at each other, I was a bit surprised. This world is so small, even though we're divorced, we still see each other at our friends' weddings. Pho Canh Tham was even more stunned, he paused, his eyes looking at me extremely complicated. I immediately averted my eyes, not paying attention. The people around me had already secretly talked a lot about my love life. Now that they saw Pho Canh Tham coming, the gossip became even more intense. Manh Kha - the classmate sitting next to me pulled my sleeve: "Hey Chi Chi, you just got divorced not long ago, right? Looking at your old friends getting married, do you regret ending your previous marriage?" Deputy Canh Tham, welcomed by the groom's family, sat down with his back to me, only half a meter away. Whatever we say here, you can hear clearly.

"What is there to regret? If a marriage is not suitable, ending it early is the only liberation." I keep smiling and my emotions are always calm.

Everyone looked at each other, then simultaneously turned to see Pho Canh Tham's reaction. I didn't turn my head, but I heard the sound of the wine glass being placed firmly on the table. Manh Kha pouted, thinking I was being stubborn: "If other people say they don't regret it, I believe it, but I don't believe you. Back in college, who doesn't know that because of Pho Canh Tham, you gave up your scholarship to study at a prestigious art school abroad and stayed in Thuong Thanh to bravely pursue love?" My smile stiffened. It's true that if the pot doesn't boil, pick up that pot. Manh Kha as well as today's bride Mong Nhi are both my college classmates and roommates. She is also the golden lady of the Manh family, has a quick temper, is straightforward, and normally always secretly competes with me. But Manh Kha is not bad, at least when I was cursed at when I got married, she also helped me scold those who said bad things about me. I always keep these things in mind.

“That's all in the past.” I picked up the glass of juice and took a sip, "What's the point of mentioning that?"

"I don't think it's worth it for you! Giving up so much but not bearing any fruit, they always say you're not worthy of Pho Canh Tham, but I see someone who doesn't know how to appreciate, even losing the person who loves them the most!" Manh Kha belched a swig of wine, his voice suddenly rising.

The eyes of the people around were all focused in this direction, scanning back and forth between me and Pho Canh Tham. I smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not? As long as I try my best to fight, no matter what the result, I'm not ashamed of myself."

"So have you told him about this? There is a very ungrateful person, you sacrificed so much for him, is it really that bad? worth!" Manh Kha said as he glanced at Pho Canh Tham, seemingly determined to help me teach him a lesson.

My heart felt warm and faintly replied: "I never said anything about being recommended."

“You still haven't said anything until now?” A person at the table exclaimed in surprise.

I shook my head: “No. Not only other people, but in his heart, I am also just a money-hungry, power-hungry, position-hungry person. I'm afraid that even if I say it, in his eyes I will give up that promotion to become a young man
