Chapter 5 — Weddings Without Brides

It turned out that from that day on, they had secretly changed the bride. Chapter 4 Finally, the store manager still asked To Tinh to take off that wedding dress. Party A on the contract is me, and the person paying is also me. She didn't dare to continue touching a disputed tailored dress because of a sentence from Luc Tram Chu. To Tinh walked out of the fitting room, changed her dress, her eyes were swollen from crying. She walked in front of me and held out her phone. On the screen is a video shot in the hospital room. Aunt Luong leaned back against the head of the bed, her face looking very poor, asking her daughter when she would show her mother how she looked in her wedding dress.

“My mother really doesn't have much time left.”

“He said he was wearing a wedding dress.” I pushed the phone towards her. “I didn't say I'd force you to marry my fiance.”

To Tinh bit her lip:

“But my mother always thinks that the biggest regret in my life is having to say goodbye to Tram Chu.”

“That is your regret.”

"Tham Kieu, your father also had major surgery. You should be the one who understands best, family members at times like this just want to satisfy the patient's wishes."

She dragged my father out to put pressure. The last bit of sympathy left in my chest instantly turned cold.

“Before the surgery, my dad just wanted me to live well. He didn't tell me to rob other people's things.”

Luc Tram Chu pulled To Tinh back.

“Don't beg her.”

He looked at me with ridiculously disappointed eyes.

"Kieu Kieu, in the past I always thought you were a reasonable person. Today just because of a dress, you tortured everyone like this."

“Yes, I don't know moderation.”

I pointed towards the fitting room:

“So you better remember carefully, from this moment on, without my confirmation documents, no one is allowed to touch my wedding dress.”

“So what about your official wedding?”

“Let's see what else I left for you.”

I turned on my heel and left. When I walked out of the store, the Luc family chat group had a new batch of messages. Luc's mother said To Tinh was excited at the store and almost fainted. She never mentioned the fact that the wedding dress was cut short, nor did she ignore Luc Tram Chu's signature on the repair request form, but only said that I suddenly changed my mind and forced a patient's daughter to undress right in front of everyone. Aunt Luc was the first to jump out and advise:

"Kieu Kieu, when you're done with your troubles, forget it. Tram Chu has promised to give you another, more expensive set in the afternoon. What else do you want?"

Cousin Luc Tram Chu also sent a message:

"The invitations have all been sent, Aunt To is still in the hospital waiting tiredly. If I cancel now, will it be like taking her life?"

I didn't explain anything. After exporting all group chat messages from start to finish, I opened the online public service portal, entered the code to look up the marriage registration appointment and the extension numbers of our documents. The loading screen takes a few seconds. The original appointment scheduled for 3pm on July 16 has been cancelled. The cancellation time is 4:06 pm on July 10. That is 52 minutes after Luc Tram Chu signed the wedding dress repair papers. I stared at that gray text, the lottery ticket in my hand was squeezed until it wrinkled. Wedding invitations can be justified as fake. The wedding ceremony can be disguised as a temporary loan. But even the appointment schedule came We actually became legally husband and wife, and he arbitrarily annulled it. I called Luc Tram Chu. He picked up the phone very quickly.

“Are you finally calm enough to talk?”

“Why cancel the marriage registration?”

The other end of the line was silent. He didn't ask how I knew.

"Aunt To's emotions are unstable. If she knows that you and I have registered, that wish-fulfillment ceremony will no longer have any meaning."

“So what?”
