Chapter 10
Chapter 10 — On the wedding day, 250,000 yuan of wedding money was canceled, the future husband's family had to pay the price.
That afternoon. I drove back from outside. Just arrived at the gate of the residential area. I saw that familiar yet strange figure. It's only been a few days since we last saw each other. Luc Triet seemed to turn into a different person. Shirt wrinkled. Beards grow jagged. His eyes were red and full of blood. The whole body radiates a feeling of depression and failure. Just saw my car. He rushed forward like crazy. Despite the danger, he stood right in front of the car. I stepped on the brake. Looked at him coldly. Luc Triet ran around to the driver's seat. Pull the car door open firmly. Before I could react. He knelt straight down on the ground. Both arms hugged my legs tightly.
“Tieu Hoa!”
“You are wrong!”
“You really know it's wrong!”
His voice was hoarse. Bringing a choking cry. Tears and snot smeared all over my face. Struggling to the point of being unsightly.
“Can I go back?”
“We will pay the money!”
“Sell the old house and pay me back!”
“Can we start over?”
“I beg you…”
“Don't leave me…”
A man nearly eight feet tall. At this moment, he looked exactly like a dog abandoned by his owner. Kneel on the ground. Hug my feet. Miserable begging. Passersby around stopped to look. Pointing and talking. Just feel nauseous. And disgusted. I tried to withdraw my foot. But he hugged very tightly. As if clinging to the last straw to save life. I don't struggle anymore. Just bow your head. Looking down from above at the man kneeling at his feet. His eyes were cold as ice.
“Luc Triet.”
“You tell me.”
“Where did you go wrong?”
My voice was very calm. He choked up and raised his head. Face full of tears.
"I was wrong because I couldn't stop my mother..."
"I was wrong because I let you suffer..."
"I was wrong because I couldn't protect you..."
These are all cheap words of repentance. Empty. I laughed. A smile full of sarcasm.
“You're not wrong.”
Luc Triet was stunned. I looked at him. Every word. Like a cold judge reading the verdict.
“I simply, every time I am faced with a choice…”
“Without any hesitation, choose the side that is most beneficial for yourself.”
“Between calculating me and your mother.”
“I choose my mother.”
“Because then I will save 250,000 yuan on the wedding fee.”
“Between my 800,000 yuan deposit and a red book in your name only.”
“I choose the red book.”
“Because then you can own a pre-marital asset worth millions of yuan for nothing.”
“Between my dignity and yours.”
“You still choose yourself.”
“Because I think I just need to be quiet at the wedding.”
“Then you can achieve everything you want without shedding a drop of blood.”
Every sentence I say. Luc Triet's face turned even whiter. His body began to tremble. The arms holding my legs gradually lost strength. I looked at those empty eyes. Then said the cruelest sentence.
“Luc Triet.”
“You never loved me.”
“What you love is just my family conditions.”
“Love the convenience my family brings you.”
“Love the feeling of others spending money and effort for you.”
“Love your pitiful vain heart.”
I stopped. Look him straight in the eyes.
“The person I love the most.”
“It's just you.”
Luc Triet was completely dumbfounded. Like a stone statue. Immobility. The arms that were holding me finally let go helplessly. I withdrew my foot. Calmly correct the evil His dress was wrinkled. Like brushing away something dirty that makes others disgusted. Look at his lost appearance. I don't have an ounce of pity in my heart. I coldly delivered the final blow.
“Three days are over.”
“Today is the deadline.”
“Tomorrow my lawyer will officially file a lawsuit with the court.”
“Don't appear in front of me.”
“Don't hang around my house anymore.”
“If not…”
I curled my lips slightly.
“I can't guarantee a wedding gift for the Luc family…”
“Was it sent earlier or not?”
I didn't look at him again. Drive into residential area. Through the rearview mirror. I saw Luc Triet still kneeling there. Like a puddle of mud. A puddle of utter despair. Completely rotten.
