Chapter 1 — My Parents Were Kicked Out of the Wedding Table, I Announced the Wedding That Night

Because I pampered Thanh Mai, I left out my parents' names from the main table at the wedding party. I turned my back and canceled the engagement, marrying the Crown Prince of the upper class. The night before the wedding, nearly midnight, Co Dinh suddenly @ed me in a group chat with only four people.

“Tham Am, please review the seating chart at the wedding banquet tomorrow.”

I opened the photo he sent. Right at the wedding table on the bride's side, my parents' names were crossed out with a bright red X. The edit date shown is... two days ago. My whole body was cold. Before my fingers could even type, messages in the group continuously appeared. Lam Kieu Kieu:

"Co Dinh and I made a bet to see if you would cry and beg him when you found out that your parents had no place to sit. I bet you would make a fuss, but unexpectedly he would just tell you to see for yourself. He was cheating!"

"Okay, anyway, I lost. Only now did she find out. Maybe tomorrow, tell her parents to temporarily sit at a table in the corner and add two more chairs."

The two of them talked and laughed happily. Just like last time, they made a bet on how long it would take for me to discover that my three needles had been changed to brass. Or last time, they bet and it took me a few days to know that the key to the wedding house was also in Lam Kieu Kieu's hand. Every time I questioned them with red eyes, their answer was exactly the same.

“Just joking, why don't you know any jokes?”

But from beginning to end, no one ever thought that tomorrow my parents would have to ride a long bus for ten hours to get here to attend their daughter's wedding. I didn't call the hotel to ask for more chairs. Just quietly turned on the phone and sent text messages to all relatives to inform them that the wedding was cancelled. After that, I took the custom-made wedding dress worth 300,000 yuan and threw it straight into the trash. No more marriage. Just good, stop at the right time to cut your losses. The night before the wedding, nearly midnight, Co Dinh @ me in a group chat of four people.

“Tham Am, check the seating chart again.”

I opened the photo. Right at the wedding table, my parents' names were crossed out with two red Xs. Lam Kieu Kieu immediately sent a smiley emoji.

“I told you, Tham Am will definitely not make a big deal out of it.”

"Mr. Dinh and I made a bet. At most, she will only be angry for a while, and tomorrow she will still obediently wear her wedding dress and walk down the aisle."

I stared at those two red Xs for three seconds. My parents had to ride a bus for ten hours to attend their daughter's wedding. And Co Dinh used their self-esteem as a bet. He really knows how to choose what to bet on. I messaged the group:

“Where will my parents sit?”

Co Dinh answered very quickly.

"Some important customers suddenly came to attend, the main table didn't have enough space."

“At best, let my parents go to the corner table and sit temporarily.”

I put the phone down on the table.

“They are my parents.”

“Co Dinh, are you really going to let them sit at the corner table?”

He sent a voice message. I pressed open.

"Tham Am, don't make a big deal out of something small."

“It's just a meal, where can we sit?”

Lam Kieu Kieu also chimed in.

“Sister Tham Am, why don't you know how to joke?”

"My uncles and aunts are all gentle people, so they probably don't mind these little things, right?"

Hearing the words gentle person, I almost burst out laughing. To them, gentle people are just plates Just a cushion for them to comfortably step on. I will not answer further. Only save a screenshot of the seating chart. Then quietly left the chat group. The next second, Co Dinh's phone call came. He called again. I'm still off. On the third call, I opened the relative's group chat and sent a message.

"Dear aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters in the family. Tomorrow's wedding is officially cancelled. All travel expenses incurred, I will then fully refund everyone."

After sending, I blocked all the phone numbers of Co Dinh's relatives one by one. After that, I entered the dressing room. A custom-made wedding dress worth 300,000 yuan is hanging in the most prominent position. In the past, Co Dinh once pointed at it and smiled and said:

"A woman only gets married once in her life, don't regret spending money."

Only later did I learn that the amount of money to buy that dress was swiped from the supplementary card in my name. I took the wedding dress out of the dust bag. The dress is very heavy. The pearls attached to the skirt of the dress were painful to the palm of her hand. I dragged it out of the villa and stuffed it straight into the trash can in front of the gate. The dress is too big and doesn't fit. I raised my foot and kicked a few more times. The pure white chiffon layer quickly became covered with grease stains and dirt inside the box. At least, it deserved this outcome. Fits the outcome of this wedding. As I was entering the room to pack my luggage, the door opened. Co Dinh and Lam Kieu Kieu walked in carrying late night food. On Lam Kieu Kieu's body is my drinking dress. The red silk dress hugged her body tightly, the buttons at the waist were tight as if about to burst. As soon as she saw me, she immediately covered her chest, looking guilty.

“Am Am, I tried it on and it's a bit tight.”

"Don't be angry, I just want to see how it will look at the wedding tomorrow."

I glanced at her.

"You try on my dress to invite me to drink, and Co Dinh also has to stand next to watch?"
