Chapter 5 — The 420 Thousand Yuan Car And The Marriage Was Returned
"Isn't it just a tattered silver bracelet?"
"How much money is it worth?"
"Nien Niem's wrist is all red, but she can only look at the bracelet."
I turned around to get lube. Seeing that, Bui Nghien Chu's face softened a bit.
"That's right."
"I'm not a bad person."
"Just too sensitive."
Oil is poured onto the wrist. Nguyen Niem Niem's cries grew louder and louder. She cried while hiding in Bui Nghien Chu's arms. After nearly ten minutes of struggling... The bracelet was finally removed. But a clear scratch appeared on the silver surface. I took a paper towel and wiped it clean. Then place it in the palm of your hand. Nguyen Niem Niem sobbed:
"Miss Tri Vi, I'm sorry."
"How about I buy you a new one?"
I looked at her.
"I can't compensate."
Bui Nghien Chu's face immediately darkened.
"She already apologized."
"What else do you want?"
At that moment, the phone rang again. It's Bui Nghien Chu's mother making a video call. He just picked up the phone. The lens immediately scanned the chaotic scene in the room. Seeing Nguyen Niem Niem crying, Ms. Bui immediately raised her voice:
"Are you bullying Niem Niem again?"
"Auntie, that's not true."
Nguyen Niem Niem wiped away tears and said:
"I accidentally touched Tri Vi's bracelet."
Mrs. Bui smirked:
"I thought it was some terrible treasure."
"After you get married, everything in the house is common property."
"What's not to touch?"
"Tri Vi."
"I'm not a kid anymore."
"Don't be jealous of a young girl all the time."
I clasped the silver bracelet in my hand. Ms. Bui continued:
"Nghien Chu is busy with work."
"Nien Niem is obedient and understanding, it would be good to help him relax a little."
"If you really want to enter the Bui family..."
"You have to learn to be generous."
The office is still piled with wedding invitation templates. Every single photo... I stayed up all night to choose. I pay the wedding hotel deposit. I booked the wedding photos. I also pay half of the rent for the wedding house. The Bui family said their son had not been working for long and had no savings yet. Tell me to bear a little loss. I have been patient until today. So patient that... Even the relics left by my grandmother are considered common property. My voice is very quiet.
"Cancel the wedding."
The other end of the line immediately went silent. Bui Nghien Chu suddenly raised his head.
"What did you just say?"
Nguyen Niem Niem also forgot to cry. The first person to react was Ms. Bui.
"Hua Tri Vi!"
"Do you dare to threaten my family with the matter of marriage?"
"Wedding invitations have already been sent out."
"The relatives have also reported it."
"Now you want to cancel, do you want our family to lose face?"
Bui Nghien Chu stepped forward. One hand squeezed my wrist.
"Take back what you just said."
His finger pressed exactly on the wound. The pain immediately spread throughout the arm. My shoulders are tense.
"Can't take it back."
On the video screen, Ms. Bui angrily scolded loudly:
"Nghien Chu, look at its appearance!"
"I haven't even stepped foot into the Bui family's door yet and I dare to make a bid."
"If we really get married, what other arrangements will there be?"
Nguyen Niem Niem gently pulled Bui Nghien Chu's sleeve.
"Mr. Nghien Chu..."
"Don't be angry."
"Miss Tri Vi is just talking in anger."
Bui Nghien Chu stared at me. Bloodshot eyes.
"Hua Tri Vi."
"Do you know why? How many times have you argued with your mother during this wedding?
"I just said one word to cancel."
"What do you see me as?"
I laughed. The smile was so weak that even I felt strange.
"So what do you see me as?"
There was still the sweet smell of ginger tea in the air. Bui Nghien Chu's phone vibrated. The screen lights up. It's a notification message from the bank. My supplementary card was swiped again. Ski equipment rental: 8,600 yuan. I bent down and picked up the scissors on the table. Bui Nghien Chu thought I wanted to harm others. Immediately pull Nguyen Niem Niem behind him to shield him. The blade lowers. Not on anyone. It's about creating wedding invitation templates. The first panel is cut in half. In the video, Ms. Bui screams loudly:
"Hua Tri Vi, stop!"
The second sheet fell to the floor. Bui Nghien Chu rushed forward and grabbed the scissors. The tip of the scissors grazed his finger. Blood immediately gushed out. Nguyen Niem Niem shouted and rushed forward:
"Mr. Nghien Chu!"
Bui Nghien Chu looked at the blood on his hands. Then turn around. Slap me hard in the face. The living room light seemed to vibrate. My head tilted to the side. There was only a persistent buzzing sound in my ears. Bui Nghien Chu gasped. Each word was gritted through gritted teeth:
"Hua Tri Vi..."
"You really disappoint me."
