Chapter 2 — My Marriage Has Come to an End

4The next afternoon, I arrived at the Le Vien building early. This is a meeting of some of Hua Hanh Xuyen's high school friends, I'm not very close with them. Hua Hanh Xuyen arrived late, next to Giang Le with a shy look. She has a pretty standard figure, her back is straight, her hair is tied up, revealing her long, slender neck. Wearing light makeup combined with a rattan brocade cheongsam, as soon as she entered the hotel lobby, she attracted all eyes. A few friends who were waiting quickly ran over. I also walked quickly towards them. Hua Hanh Xuyen was greeting everyone, completely ignoring me. I suddenly grabbed Giang Le, and immediately slapped her hard. "Who gave you permission to wear my cheongsam? Take it off immediately!" I admit that I'm not someone who can't control my emotions. But now, the cheongsam on Giang Le is sewn from the cloth that my late grandmother left me. If it wasn't because my best friend was getting married next month and insisted that I sew a cheongsam from this fabric to wear at the wedding, I wouldn't have had the heart to touch it. For this cheongsam, I asked Hua Hanh Xuyen to find the best tailor. Unexpectedly, Giang Le could win it before me! The smile on Giang Le's lips immediately disappeared. She covered her face, her head snuggled into Hua Hanh Xuyen's shoulder, bit her lip, and sobbed. Hua Hanh Xuyen looked at me stunned for a moment before regaining her composure. He gently pushed Giang Le, intending to step forward and hold my hand. "Linh Uu, listen to my explanation." But behind, Giang Le kept following, her hand clutching his shirt. Hua Hanh Xuyen looked at her with helpless eyes. Giang Le removed her hand from her face, red marks were clearly printed on her smooth white cheeks, tears rolled down like pearls. This scene made Hua Hanh Xuyen unable to blame her for anything. He turned back to explain to me: "Linh Uu, don't misunderstand, this is my sister..." I looked straight into his eyes disappointed. "Hua Hanh Xuyen, I don't care who she is! Those are my clothes, take them off immediately!" Hua Hanh Xuyen frowned: "Giang Le has no bad intentions, she just liked this cheongsam so much, so she borrowed it to wear once. When she gets home, she will wash it and return it to you, okay?" "No?" okay." I clenched my hands to control my trembling: "Take it off for me now!" "Hua Hanh Xuyen, you should know what this cheongsam means to me. Men may not be worth it, she can take it, but this cheongsam... no!" Hua Hanh Xuyen's face darkened. Giang Le sobbed, leaning against him, her voice soft: "Are you my sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If you're angry, just take it out on me, don't scold him..." I slapped her again in the face: "Okay, then I'll vent my anger on you. Why are you standing there, take it off now!" I used all my strength, causing Giang Le to stagger and fall into Hua Hanh Xuyen's arms. Hua Hanh Xuyen gently caressed her face, her eyes full of worry. "Linh Uu! In a crowded place like this, if you force a girl to take off her clothes right away, won't everyone see? Don't you have any compassion left?" I suppressed my trembling and smiled coldly. "If she still knew how to save face, she wouldn't wear someone else's clothes and then follow someone else's husband out to a crowded place like this! Is it because I don't have any compassion, or are you two not knowing how to be ugly? Tiger?" Giang Le cried and said: "You two, stop arguing, I'll take it off right away." "No way!" Hua Hanh Xuyen pulled her back, his voice gentle: "Don't rush, let me book a room." The two went hand in hand to book a room, Hua Hanh Xuyen even called her assistant, telling her to bring another set of clothes. The friends around me were all stunned, their eyes looking at me filled with pity. I stood quietly behind them, feeling my body

as light as a falling leaf. Looking at Giang Le's leaving figure, I suddenly felt uneasy. I quickly ran over and pulled Giang Le back. Hua Hanh Xuyen turned around, extremely annoyed, pushed my hand away. "Linh Uu, can't you wait a little longer for her to go into the dressing room? Do you have to humiliate her in front of the crowd to be satisfied?" I didn't answer him, but just gritted my teeth and pulled at the waist of the cheongsam. "You fixed my cheongsam, right?" 5 Giang Le's cry suddenly choked. She panicked and clutched the fabric at her waist. Hua Hanh Xuyen pushed Giang Le away a bit, looking suspiciously at the outfit she was wearing. "Giang Le, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to be careful when wearing it?! Why did you arbitrarily change the clothes?" Giang Le burst into tears: "Sorry, I just felt that the waist of this cheongsam was too wide and didn't look good, so I asked a technician to fix it overnight." She's so fat, maybe the tailor measured her wrong..." Her mouth was apologetic, but her frail face was filled with a defiant and smug look that I could recognize. I admit, I was angry with her. This cheongsam is a style I have carefully chosen, not too tight to look more luxurious. I don't want to wear it to the wedding to overshadow the bride. As a result, she changed it into something worthless. With needles that have been repaired, it is impossible to put them back together again. This outfit is considered broken! I could no longer save face, raised my hand and rushed towards Giang Le. But Hua Hanh Xuyen quickly hugged me tightly, not letting me go any further. Anger has no place to come out. I turned around and slapped Hua Hanh Xuyen hard in the face! The sound of "chat" rang out in the surrounding silence. Hua Hanh Xuyen's face was pale, there was no sound around. Giang Le cried, heartbroken and rushed forward: "It's just a cheongsam, how much money do I have to pay you, do I have to beat someone?" She took out her phone: "Is ten thousand enough, is twenty thousand enough..." Hua Hanh Xuyen gently pushed her towards the door: "That's enough, Giang Le! This party is canceled, you go home first!" Giang Le was stunned for a moment, silently bowed her head, tears rolling down, looking weak. and pitifully: "But, won't you take me home?" Hua Hanh Xuyen turned away, unable to bear to look at her: "I have to go home, you can call a car to go home yourself." Giang Le's face turned pale, biting her lip and looking at Hua Hanh Xuyen for a long time. She wanted to use her pitiful appearance to move him. But anyway, Hua Hanh Xuyen could not abandon his wife in front of everyone. Finally, she dazedly walked out of the hotel. I was so angry that my whole body felt weak, and Hua Hanh Xuyen picked me up in the car and took me home.
