Chapter 1 — My Late Light

In order to fulfill her dream of marrying him, my fiance's ambitious adopted sister intentionally sent the wrong address, tricked me and my family into going to a hotel 60 km away, and held a wedding without a groom. And she was wearing a wedding dress, under everyone's gaze, holding my fiance's arm and walking down the aisle. Knowing the truth, I angrily called my fiance and asked him to give me an explanation. But on the other end of the line, he replied indifferently: "Once we get married, we are one family. My sister is also your sister. How about being my sister-in-law, how about giving her a little?" "Besides, she's just a child, playing and mischievous, it's not intentional. You're only 60 km away from us, only two or three hours by car. I'll call a bus to bring you and my family here, in time for dinner." "Don't say anything." "My sister said she wanted to try first what it feels like to get married. Anyway, it took me a while to get here, so I'll play with it first." I looked at the call he hung up, looked at the wedding photos his adopted sister sent, looked at the two of them holding hands, looking at each other, the love in their eyes was so strong that it couldn't be hidden. I suddenly felt like loving him so deeply for the past seven years was like a joke. I picked up my phone and texted the baby mama: "The wedding has been prepared, only the groom is missing. Are you coming?" If he and that adopted sister loved each other so much that it was difficult to separate, then I would withdraw and make it complete for them! "Wait for me, I'll be there soon." Hearing the baby mama's answer, I put the phone away, looking at the wedding hall filled with an atmosphere of joy. There are still wedding photos of me and my fiance Chu Nghien Thu everywhere. But such a lavishly decorated wedding has one real and one fake. "Take down all these photos." I began to instruct the service staff to clean up the scene. He chose to get married with his adopted sister Chu So Chu. So why do I need to run over there and bring humiliation to myself? How about calling a groom to turn this fake wedding into a real wedding? The employee who witnessed the whole incident looked at me with pity, then decided to follow suit. Right at this moment, my best friend raised his hand to stop the staff, looking kindly and advised: "Nam Am, you and Chu Nghien Thu have loved each other since college, you two have been in love for seven years. We all see how good Chu Nghien Thu is to you." "You have a fever, he stayed up all night to take care of you. You just said you wanted to eat cake, he could give up his job and drive three hours to buy it for you." "How could Chu Nghien Thu let you suffer the pain?" Okay? This time there must be some misunderstanding. Just meet him and explain clearly, don't get excited." I lowered my head to look at Chu Chu Chu's friends on the phone. In the video, the wedding ceremony had wedding photos of Chu Nghien Thu and Chu So So everywhere. Chu Chu Chu wore the same wedding dress as me, amid the cheers of the whole hall, holding Chu Nghien Thu's hand. The two of them looked at each other, love burning in their eyes that couldn't be hidden. Chu So So also posted the words: "My brother loves me so much. I said I wanted the wedding of the century, he immediately left his sister-in-law behind to celebrate it with me." They had already held the wedding at another hotel a long time ago, even the wedding photos had been changed. Why are there any more misunderstandings? My best friend still wanted to give further advice, so I raised my hand and silently interrupted her. My parents came up and advised me: "You're thinking too much, they're just brothers, just joking around." There was a time when I also thought like them. I feel like they just have a deep brotherly love. So, when Chu Nghien Thu lived with me, Chu So So made a fuss and wanted to move in. I didn't object too strongly. When I had a car accident, he left me alone and ran away to celebrate Zhou Chuchu's birthday. I also forgave him. I also forgave him. Every time Chu So So interrupted us and caused trouble, he always said: "So So is my sister, please let her go." I thought about our feelings for many years so I still couldn't bear to let go. Until this time, Chu So So messed up during the important event of the wedding, deliberately booking two hotels, tricking me and my family into going to another hotel. For such an outrageous matter, Zhou Yanshu still tolerated her, and even walked down the aisle with her to satisfy Chu So Chu's wishes. Seven years together is not as good as the bond they had growing up together since childhood. If that's the case, I will withdraw and fulfill this fateful couple. I opened Chu Chu So Chu's friend circle again, liked her, and then commented with blessings: "Wishing you both a happy wedding and a baby soon." After my comment was posted, it didn't take long for more and more negative comments to flood Chu Chu So Chu's friend circle. "Even though Chu So So and Zhou Yan Shu are not related by blood, they are still legally brothers, how can they get married?" "Upstairs, that's not the point. The bottom line is, isn't Chu Nghien Thu having a girlfriend for seven years? As a result, he turned around and married his sister. What does this mean? Is this a shameful cover for Hua Nam Am? "I've seen photos of Hua Nam Am ordering a wedding dress before, it's exactly like this. Chu So So is stealing her sister-in-law's wedding dress to marry her brother. "I thought rich people were very careful about family The Chu family has no manners at all. As expected, they are still rich people who know how to play..." Looking at these comments, the anger that had no place to vent in my heart finally found a way out. It turns out that not everyone is blind, people with sight can still see right from wrong. No matter how Chu So So explains, it cannot be whitewashed. Her comment area immediately collapsed. At this moment, Chu Nghien Thu called me, his tone carrying an impatient and angry tone: "Hua Nam Am, haven't I already explained it to you? So So just wants to experience what a wedding is like." "I only see So So as a sister, nothing else. It's because your heart is dirty, everything you look at is dirty." "Do you know that just because you talked nonsense in the comment area, people talked about So So, it made her cry. like someone who did it with tears, but still ask me to apologize for him and explain? Just bless the two of you." In the past, when I argued with him over Chu Chu Chu's matter, he always said I wasn't generous enough, saying Chu Chu So was a subordinate and I should give in to her. But now I not only give in, I also generously give in to Zhou Yanshu. I obediently understood the situation so well. Chu Nghien Thu was still unhappy, even angrier: "Hua Nam Am, have you made enough trouble?" "Didn't So So go on stage because your whole family ran to the wrong place? It just helped you save face." The reason our whole family arrived late was clearly because Chu So So staged two weddings to trick people. I am clearly the victim, but now, in order to help Chu So Chu escape, he puts all the blame on me. Such obvious favoritism, if not love then what is it? If it was before, I probably would have argued

with him, will scream and argue right and wrong with him. But at this moment, I no longer want to argue pointlessly with him. I replied nonchalantly: "Yes, yes, she helped me save face. I think she seems very happy, there's no need to continue acting, just pretend to be honest." I clearly said what was in his heart, but he was still angry: "Hua Nam Am, when did you become such a jealous woman who only knows sarcasm? Now if you obediently listen and apologize to So So, there is still time, otherwise our engagement will be canceled. Someone like you who only knows how to make up gossip is not worthy of entering the Chu family's door." I didn't argue, just nodded: "That's right, so let's cancel the marriage and break up." After saying that, I hung up the phone. Chu Nghien Thu didn't call back again, but instead helped me rent a bus, and even specially hired a driver, and told him on his behalf: "You are Ms. Hua, right? General Manager Chu told me to tell you, at first he planned to break up with you, but you have been sleeping with him for so many years. If you don't marry him, who else would marry a second-hand product like you?" old, so asked me to drive to pick you and your family up to the wedding scene." "The car is parked in front of the hotel, everyone is welcome." I clenched my fists, my heart could not help but contract painfully. When we loved each other the most, he said I was the brightest star illuminating his world, his unique treasure. Now, because he lost his argument with me, in front of his relatives, he sarcastically mocked me as a passing commodity that no one wanted. The eyes of all my relatives fell on me, everyone looked strange. My parents pulled my hand and advised: "Tieu Chu has already gone into the water, and even called a car to pick us up. Don't be unreasonable, quickly follow the steps and walk down. Otherwise, he will be really angry and break up with you, don't regret it." I looked towards the door, it was an old, dilapidated bus that had been scrapped. There were no happy stickers, no red silk, and in front of the car door was a pot of charcoal. The driver said that each person getting on the bus had to step over this pot of charcoal to ward off evil spirits. Is this where you're going into the water? Obviously insulting me and preemptively confronting me. I shook my head: "Don't go. I've said it many times, I won't marry him anymore." Not only did my parents not understand me, on the contrary, they shouted loudly: "Tieu Chu's family has such good conditions and can still look at you, it's a blessing you've cultivated from your previous life." "This wedding, if you don't go, then don't recognize us as parents anymore!" Having said that, they led a group of relatives to walk over the coal pot to dispel evil spirits, happily getting on the bus. that humiliation. But no matter how much they threatened or scolded me, I did not move, even though the car started and completely disappeared from my sight. There was a time when, because of Chu So So's affairs, I argued more than once, demanding to break up with Chu Nghien Thu. Every time, it was my parents and relatives who tried to dissuade me, trying to find reasons to help Chu Nghien Thu, telling me to forgive him. I felt that my parents and relatives were people close to me, and would not join forces with outsiders to oppress me, nor did I want to disappoint them, so I forgave Zhou Yanshu and Chu Chu Chu for their actions over and over again to hurt me. I originally thought that as long as I did as they said, Chu Nghien Thu would be like they said, knowing my feelings and intentions, and would treat me a hundred times better. But they are wrong. Take a step back, what awaits you is not the high sky and wide sea. It's the opponent being pushed forward, gradually pressing closer. Is increasingly not seeing me as

people, arbitrarily insulted.
