Chapter 3 — On the wedding day, 250,000 yuan of wedding money was canceled, the future husband's family had to pay the price.

Then my next sentence sent their whole family to hell.

“...It's impossible.”

I smiled slightly. A smile cold to the bone.

“That 800,000 yuan, please let the Luc family fully refund both principal and interest to me within three days.”

“Not even one penny short.”

“If it's a day overdue, we'll meet in court.”

I emphasize the four words "both principal and interest" one by one. Like four heavy bombs exploded in the middle of the hall. Trieu My Lan's body staggered violently. Relatives next to her had to rush to help her. If not, she probably would have collapsed on the spot. That face was no longer simply pale anymore. It is the color of ashes of a person who has just been thrown straight into the abyss.

“You... you're such a cruel woman!”

Luc Triet's father finally couldn't bear it. He slammed his chair and stood up. A few steps rushed to the edge of the stage. The finger pointed straight at my face. Mouth constantly cursing.

“This woman's mind is too deep!”

"Not married yet but already planning our house!"

“You prepared this in advance, right?”

It's ridiculous. In the end, who is planning who? My parents also could not continue to sit still. My father slammed on the table. Stand up. He stepped forward to block in front of me. His body is as tall as a mountain. Separate me from all the malice that is coming my way. He pointed directly at Luc Triet's father. The voice was loud, full of anger.

“You talk to clear your mouth a bit!”

“Planning?”

“Today there are many guests here, everyone has eyes to see!”

“On the wedding day, I suddenly canceled the wedding money, publicly humiliating my daughter in front of everyone.”

“Is that the family teaching of your Luc family?”

My mother also quickly walked onto the stage. She squeezed my hand. Hands tremble. Red eyes. But his gaze was extremely determined. She didn't say a word. Just use actions to tell me that. No matter what happens. She is always on my side. Look at the group of people from the Luc family who are in a commotion. Seeing my parents angry to protect me made their eyes red. The last bit of affection I had for Luc Triet completely disappeared. There's nothing left. Only cold and disappointment remain. Luc Triet was really scared. On one side is the angry father. On one side is the mother who is about to collapse. On one side, I was completely determined. He is like a headless fly. Quickly grabbed my arm. His voice was so choked that he almost burst into tears.

“Tieu Hoa…”

“I beg you…”

“Can you stop talking?”

“Stop talking…”

“Let's go home and talk.”

“Go home and talk slowly, okay?”

“I kneel down and beg you!”

“Can I kneel down and beg you?”

His knees were weak. Really want to kneel in front of me. I immediately withdrew my hand forcefully. Look at that tear-filled face. There was only a feeling of sarcasm and disgust in my heart. What are you doing early? When his mother publicly humiliated me in front of everyone. When his father pointed his finger at me and cursed. Are you afraid now? I looked straight into his eyes. Word by word said.

“Luc Triet.”

“The moment my mother announced she was canceling the wedding money…”

“I don't have a home anymore.”

My voice is very light. But it was like a sledgehammer hit his heart hard. More tears flowed down Luc Triet's face. His body groggy. It was as if all my strength had been drained away. And I just find it funny. A grown man. A person is about to become someone else's husband. When encountering problems, don't think about how to solve them. Not thinking about how to shoulder responsibility. But I only know how to use tears and kneel in exchange for pity. To force others to soften their hearts with morality. What an incompetent person to the core. A giant child who never grew up. At that moment, Trieu My Lan finally recovered from the shock of 800,000 yuan. She seemed crazy, screamed and rushed straight towards me. That look was like wanting to tear my body into pieces.

“This bitch!”

“Give me my son back!”

“You destroyed my family!”

There was no longer any dignity or elegance on her face. Hair is messy. Makeup smudged. It looks like a devil that just crawled out of hell. I reflexively took a step back. Right when her hand was about to touch my wedding dress. A figure suddenly rushed forward as fast as lightning. It's my younger brother, Khuong Nham. I don't know when he returned to the hall. At this moment, he stood in front of me like a solid wall. One hand held Trieu My Lan's wrist tightly. On his usually cheerful face was a coldness and aggression that I had never seen.

“Let's talk properly about anything.”

“Don't move your hands or feet.”

Khuong Nham smiled coldly. The force on my hand tightened even more.

“My family is very precious.”

"If I hurt them, I won't be able to compensate."

Trieu My Lan was in so much pain that she screamed loudly. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape his grasp. The scene was completely out of control. The guests below began to talk loudly. Pointer. People whisper. The person took out his phone to film. The flash light flashed continuously. This place has turned into a complete farce. A true farce. And I am the central character of that farce. But now I don't care anymore. Appearance? So respectful? They are the ones who throw them away first. In the midst of that chaos. I raised the microphone. The voice carried through the sound system, clearly drowning out any surrounding noise.

“Dear distinguished guests.”

“I'm sorry for letting everyone witness such a drama.”

The whole hall was silent again. Everyone looked at me simultaneously. I looked around the auditorium. His eyes calmly glanced over each person. Finally stopping on the worried faces of his parents. I smiled slightly at them. Signal that I'm okay. I pronounce the final sentence.

“This wedding is officially cancelled.”

Just finished speaking. I did something that surprised everyone. I slowly raised my hand. With a leisurely but solemn movement. Gently remove the veil from your head. The layer of chiffon symbolizes purity and that lifelong promise. This time it became extremely ironic. I put down the veil. Along with a delicate wedding bouquet in front of her chest. Put it all on stage. Like saying goodbye to a wrong past. It's like burying your old self. After all is done. I suddenly felt relieved. It was like I had just removed a heavy chain that had been on my body for many years. I'm back. Look Trieu My Lan is as pale as a dead person. Looking at Luc Triet standing motionless like a statue. Then flashed a brilliant smile. But almost cruel.

“Ah yes.”

“There's a third thing.”

I saw Trieu My Lan's pupils shrink violently. Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Lips trembling. Want to say something. But the fear was so great that she couldn't make a sound. I really enjoyed watching the process of her face losing color little by little. That feeling made me happier than slapping her. I deliberately stopped. Let that invisible fear slowly ferment in her heart. Slowly spread. The whole hall held their breath. Wait for my next statement.

“And that third thing…”

I drawled. Use the most gentle tone. To say the cruelest words.

“That was my wedding gift specifically for the Luc family.”

“I believe…”

“You guys will definitely ‘like’ it.”

I don't say clearly what it is. Because the fear of the unknown is what torments people the most. Trieu My Lan's eyes turned from anger to fear. In the end, only despair remains. It seemed she had thought of something. Cold sweat continued to flow down his pale face. She trembled and pointed at me. Lips move continuously. But I can't say a complete sentence.

“You... you...”

I don't bother to look at that pathetic appearance again. I turned around. Facing all guests in the hall. Bow your head deeply.

“Thank you everyone for coming today.”

“Sorry for wasting everyone's precious time.”

“I, Khuong Hoa, sincerely thank you.”
