Chapter 7 — Thirty Seconds to Change the Groom

"Oh, tomorrow is your happy day, right? Congratulations, congratulations! Look at my clumsy mouth, everything in the past was my fault, Kieu Y, don't take it to heart." She spoke very quickly, as if afraid of being interrupted by others: "But I also consider it a big help, right? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to quickly see clearly that bastard Giang Tuc! You see, family injustices should be resolved, not ended, let's be good friends again. okay?” 10 Seeing that I didn't say anything, Tiet Y Y thought I had heard. She rubbed her hands, her eyes avoided, finally revealing her true purpose. "Kieu Y, you and General Manager Ha are both big people. This hotel... or in General Manager Ha's company, are there any idle positions? Arrange a job for me at random! I really can't do this job of serving others anymore..." She raised her face, her smile was both ingratiating and humble. It's like the dirty things between us never happened, she's still my best friend who can honestly take advantage of me like before. I didn't answer her even half a sentence. I just turned directly to the still angry lobby manager: "Fire her." "From now on, this hotel is not allowed to hire her anymore." Having said that, I did not look at those eyes filled with panic again. I grabbed Ha Do Xuyen's arm, walked directly past her, and headed towards the door. Tiet Y Y was stunned for a second, then like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she frantically chased after me. Her voice carried a cry: "Kieu Y, Kieu Y, don't be like that!" "Sorry, sorry! Aren't we still good friends? I really know I was wrong, I won't dare anymore! Kieu Y, you hear me..." Her apology was like flies, constantly buzzing in her ears. She chased him from the hotel lobby all the way outside. Ha Do Xuyen politely opened the passenger door for me. At the same time, two well-trained bodyguards behind him stepped up and firmly stopped Tiet Y Y who was about to rush forward. The car window was rolled up, separating the distorted face from outside. Through the rearview mirror, I saw Tiet Y Y being pushed away by the bodyguard. She staggered and fell to the side of the road, her figure becoming smaller and smaller, finally disappearing completely. In this world, there are some people, some things, even looking back is just a waste of excess. On the day of the wedding, Giang Tuc did not appear. The ceremony took place flawlessly without a single flaw. Ha Do Xuyen held my hand and walked step by step towards the oath taking podium. With the blessings of all the guests, we exchanged rings, solemnly took the oath, and finally hugged and kissed. When the ceremony stopped, on the way to the resting room, I met Giang Tuc at the corner of the hallway. He was so thin that he was out of shape, and the expensive suit he wore became baggy. Seeing me coming, he instinctively stood up a little straighter, his complex eyes fixed on me, with too many emotions swirling inside. Nostalgia, regret, perhaps even a little unwillingness. He was silent for a long time, so long that I thought he would go on and on like before. But in the end, he just slightly moved his pale lips: "Sorry, Kieu Y. My previous brother... really made a mistake with you." I stopped walking and looked at him. I shook my head slightly: "It's okay." "Luckily we're not there anymore." After saying that, I didn't look at him again, walked directly past, towards the end of the hallway. There, Ha Do Xuyen was leaning against the wall waiting for me, holding a cup of warm water in his hand. Seeing me coming, the corner of his lips curled up into a gentle smile. I sped up my steps, almost running in slow motion, running into his open arms, using my strength to hug his waist, burying my face in his arms.

The hem of the shirt carries the faint scent of pine wood. Ha Do Xuyen took the opportunity to squeeze my arm, bowed his head and kissed the top of my hair, his low voice carrying a smile: "Are you done talking?" "Yes, my legs are tired." "Drink some water first. Come to the rest room later, I will massage you." Behind, Giang Tuc stood stiffly in place, until the backs of the two people helping each other to leave disappeared at the end of sight. At that moment, he slowly raised his hand, covering his eyes in unbearable pain. Ha Do Xuyen hugged my waist, resting his chin on the top of my head, sighing softly: "The thing I regret most in this life is that five years ago because I was angry with you, I went abroad. By the time I returned, everything had changed, I almost missed you." "But the luckiest thing is that five years later, I was able to run to the Civil Affairs Department, and from then on, I never let go of your hand again." Fate is like that. Going in a winding circle, in the end, the most suitable person will come to you at the right time. I tilted my head, leaning against his chest. Hearing his heart pounding with excitement, I raised my head and smiled: "Mr. Ha, happy wedding." Ha Do Xuyen bowed his head, placed a long and gentle kiss on my lips: "Mrs. Ha, I'm happy with you."
