Chapter 7 — There Are People You Can Only Meet Once In Your Life
By the time he raised his head... He had stepped inside.
“Just now... was he looking my way?”
Tan Tinh asked nervously. I put the camera away.
“To the next location.”
“Next place?”
“Wedding party.”
I opened the car door.
“The Pho family covers the entire Ngan Ha hotel.”
“It is said that there are up to three hundred banquet tables.”
“It's so bustling... it would be a shame not to come see it.”
Tan Tinh's eyes widened.
“Are you crazy?”
“There are all people from the Pho family!”
“That's why I have to go.”
I put on my seat belt.
“I have an invitation.”
“Where from?”
I took out my phone and showed her the electronic invitation. Invited person: clearly state: Lam Thu Anh. Chief designer of Nam Thanh Jewelry Studio.
“It was sent by Tham Thanh Vi.”
I smiled.
“She enthusiastically invited me to attend.”
"If you don't come, won't you disappoint people?"
Tan Tinh stared at me for nearly a minute. In the end, I just sighed.
“Van Van…”
“This half year... what have you been through?”
“Rebirth.”
I looked at the scene outside the window of the car moving quickly behind me.
“Someone who died once…”
“Then there's nothing to fear anymore.”
In front of Ngan Ha hotel. Luxury cars continue endlessly. I changed into a simple black evening gown. Wearing glasses with zero gold frames. Her long hair was tied back in a bun, revealing her slim white neck. Tan Tinh walked next to me. Her palms were sweaty.
“Naturally.”
I lowered my voice.
“Now we are reporters coming to work.”
“Not here to disrupt.”
“I'm afraid you can't stand it…”
“I can't help it.”
After carefully checking the invitation letter. The security officer just let us in. The wedding hall was full. The crystal light reflects brilliantly. The air mixed with the smell of perfume, fresh flowers... And the smell of money. I chose a position quite close to the stage in the press area and sat down. On stage. MC is stirring up the atmosphere. A giant LED screen plays a video titled...
"The love story of Pho Han Xuyen and Tham Thanh Vi."
The video is very cleverly edited. Tham Thanh Vi's three years abroad were completely cut off. It started from the day she returned. Create an extremely romantic "broken mirror heals" story. Chairman's desk below. The elders of the Pho family all sat upright. Everyone had a serious look on their face. The Tham family smiled so brightly that they couldn't hide their joy. Especially Tham Thanh Vi's parents.
"Climb the high branch."
It's almost written all over my face. Exactly eleven minutes past eighteen. The good hour has come. The wedding music sounded. Tham Thanh Vi took his father's arm. Slowly walk on the red carpet. The spotlight shined down on her. The simple platinum wedding ring flashed with soft light. She stopped in front of Pho Han Xuyen. Her father held his daughter's hand. Place it in the groom's hand. Pho Han Xuyen received it. Movements are somewhat stiff. MC started reading the vows.
“Mr. Pho Han Xuyen.”
"Do you agree to marry Ms. Tham Thanh Vi as your wife?"
“Whether poor or rich…”
“Whether healthy or sick…”
“Will you still love, respect, and protect her until death separates you two?”
The entire auditorium fell silent. Pho Han Xuyen... Silence for five seconds. The smile on Tham Thanh Vi's lips began to stiffen. She gently pulled his sleeve.
"… I agree."
Pho Han's voice Penetration is very gentle. MC turned to the bride.
“Miss Tham Thanh Vi.”
“Do you agree…”
“I agree!”
Tham Thanh Vi quickly interrupted. The voice is so sweet it's sickening.
“I am willing to marry Han Xuyen.”
“This life, this life…”
“Never leave him.”
Applause echoed throughout the hall. Come to the ring exchange. The bridesmaid held up the ring box. Tham Thanh Vi holds the wedding ring. Preparing to put it on Pho Han Xuyen's hand.
"Wait."
Pho Han Xuyen suddenly spoke up. All eyes in the auditorium immediately turned to him. He holds the ring. Hold it up to the light. Observe very carefully. Tham Thanh Vi began to panic.
“Han Xuyen... what's wrong?”
“The inscription inside…”
Pho Han Xuyen narrowed his eyes.
“It looks like... there's not just one line.”
The smile on Tham Thanh Vi's face completely froze. I raised my glass of champagne. Take a small sip. It's time to watch a play. Pho Han Xuyen reached into his vest pocket. A handheld magnifying glass. That move made the whole hall stir. Who would bring a magnifying glass to their own wedding? He raised the magnifying glass. Carefully look at the inside of the ring. A few seconds later. His expression suddenly changed.
“What is this?”
The voice was cold as ice. Tham Thanh Vi immediately grabbed the ring and magnifying glass. She bent down to look. The next second... A shrill scream rang out. As if it had just been burned by fire. She panicked and threw the ring hard on the ground. The silver platinum ring rolled a few times on the carpet.
