Chapter 7 — The Enemy's New Wife

8

I didn't expect that the next time I would meet Tong Yen again... it would be at his wedding. He staggered through the ritual order, like a lost soul the whole time. It was only when his eyes slid down to see me in the row below that a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

“That's ridiculous,”

“It's only when you die that you realize it's sweet.”

“Where did you go before?”

Co Thua Dich jealously covered my eyes.

“Wife, don't look at him, dirty.”

In the stands, only the La family was smiling brightly. Grandpa Tong Yen, after some consideration, finally agreed to let the Tong family and the La family become friends. In return, they had to pay a high price to get the video back in La Chi Chi's hands. Because if that recording were to be released - the damage to the Song family's reputation would be unimaginable. Tong Yen's younger brothers took turns raising their glasses to greet guests in the crowd. They are Tong Yen's father's stepchildren, the children that Song's grandfather allowed into the Tong family's door — just one day after he accepted the marriage with the La family. On the way out, despite Co Thua Dich's knife-like gaze, Tong Yen still resolutely blocked in front of our car. He looked at me deeply, then turned his eyes to the person next to him.

"General Manager Co, the last time the Tong family mentioned cooperation with your company, I wonder if you are still interested?"

Co Thua Dich raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly: "You came here for that?"

“Of course, I wonder if General Manager Co is interested in Tong Thi's foreign project?”

“That's interesting.”

Tong Yen seemed to turn into a different person. He was polite, patient, attentively talked about the advantages of cooperation between Tong Thi and Co Thi, his attitude was humble, and his tone was calm. I felt sleepy listening to it. As soon as I got out of the car to wake up, I felt a look of resentment from behind. I turned my head.

"Lam Nhiem, you didn't expect it, right? The last person to marry Tong Yen was me, not you."

La Chi Chi wore a red tuxedo and smiled coldly at me. The past few days have not been easy for her. Having severed ties with her parents, she had no choice but to cling to Tong Yen. Only when she became the daughter-in-law of the Tong family did relations with the La family resume. But Tong Yen doesn't love her. Even resentment. La Chi Chi will never forget that night, Tong Yen used a vile tone she had never seen before, begging her to stay - just because she put on the cover of "Lam Nhiem". Everything she got today was something Lam Nhiem threw away. It makes her hate me even more.

"You bitch, you can marry anyone, it just has to be Co Thua Dich - you always annoy me!"

"Lam Nhiem, if it weren't for you, Tong Yen would have been mine a long time ago! I wouldn't have needed to use all those tricks to barely keep this thing called love!"

“It's no wonder your mother died so early, who said you were something…!”

“Chat!!”

La Chi Chi covered her face and screamed, she couldn't believe it.

"Lam Nhiem, you dare attack me right at the Tong family's house?!"

She got mad and rushed to find someone. But the people around me, as long as they see me - no one dares to care about her anymore. Even the Tong family's bodyguards pretended to patrol and turned away. Because... Currently, Tong Yen's position in the Tong family has become extremely fragile. His father went public brought his stepchildren home, apparently with Grandpa Tong's tacit consent. They weren't stupid enough to offend the Co family because of someone with an uncertain future like Tong Yen - much less did they dare to touch me. La Chi Chi finally understood that, became even more angry, and immediately wanted to attack me.

“La Chi Chi, are you crazy?!”

But in the middle of the road, Tong Yen rushed to stop him. He grabbed La Chi Chi's wrist without any mercy. Pop — a slap landed squarely on her face.

"Today is our wedding. As the daughter-in-law of the Tong family, how can you be so uneducated? Who allowed you to dare to attack the guests?"

La Chi Chi's tears kept falling. Being stared at by so many people, Tong Yen did not give her any face and even dared to attack in the crowd.

"Tong Yen! Look clearly, the person who is your wife is me! As for Lam Nhiem, she is no longer yours! I gave up everything to marry you, but on the wedding day, you treat me like this?!"
