Kapitel 3: Chapter 3
"Meixiu, you're crumbling the poor tissue paper," Grandma Peng said, holding Meixiu's right hand where the tissue paper is.
Meixiu looks at Grandma Peng and smiles before looking back at Xiaohui and Tingfeng, who are dancing in the middle of the event area.
"Meixiu, don't be upset there ok? You and Xiaohui will be divorced soon so don't expect great things" Xiaowen said.
"What are you saying? Your husband told me not to let the two of them be apart, why are you insisting on divorcing the two?"
"Mama, Xiaohui should be with someone good-looking and have a great future ahead. Just like Tingfeng. Do you want to see Xiaohui suffer?"
"I don't want to see Xiaohui suffering and I can assure you that Meixiu is the one who is going to give her the life."
"Mama, you fully trust this bastard?" Xiaowen asked, with annoyance in her tone.
"Of course, Meixiu is a kind person so I trust her" Meixiu smiles at what Grandma Peng said.
"Xiaohui, why don't you just go with me? I can give you a better life" after a few minutes of silence, Tingfeng finally asks Xiaohui.
Xiaohui looks at Tingfeng blankly.
"By saying that, it can only mean that you won't give me a better life" Xiaohui tried to step back but Tingfeng tighten his hold on her waist.
"What are you saying?" Tingfeng asks, eyeing Xiaohui's lips for a moment.
Xiaohui pushes Tingfeng a little away from her. Meixiu saw that her wife is struggling but decided to step out as Xiaowen is looking at her.
"Don't mess around Tingfeng, I can't leave Meixiu behind. I promise my father about it" Tingfeng's eyebrows furrow.
"Your father is not here anymore. It's been 3 years since he died! Why don't you leave Meixiu behind!?" Tingfeng's voice roams around the halls as he pulls Xiaohui towards him again.
Meixiu was about to stand up but Zheng Qiang held her shoulder and forcefully sat her down.
"You sat down and watch the show," Qiang said as Meixiu looks back at where her wife is.
"A promise is a promise. Even if I sacrifice not being married to my chosen one, I will keep it until the end" Xiaohui said, clearly showing emotion of discomfort.
Tingfeng can be seen with fuming eyes as he looks angrily at Xiaohui.
"This is the second chance I gave you since you broke it, 4 years ago. And you still did it again!" Tingfeng said.
"I never agreed with being married to you at that time! We have a big debt to your family remember!? And the payment is us being married but your parents said that the money has been solved! So what are you still looking for!?"
Tingfeng frowned, showing a deep shade of red on his face as he is angry, and quickly held Xiaohui in her arms.
Xiaohui yelps at the pain.
"I am giving you a chance! And you ruined it again! I'm doing this to help your family and company!" As soon as Tingfeng finished speaking, he was pushed to the ground.
He looks up and met Meixiu back, who is checking on her wife.
"Are you fine?"
"Did something hurt?"
"You have a red mark on your arm, let's treat it!"
Tingfeng stands up and turns Meixiu around.
"What are you doing bastard!? Can't you see I'm still not done with her!?" Tingfeng yelled.
Meixiu's worried face turn serious upon being turned around to face the guy in front of her.
"So what? Xiaohui is my wife and I have the responsibility to take care of her! Can't you see that I am the man in our relationship!?" Meixiu said, pointing at her clothes.
Tingfeng looks at her up and down before placing a disgusted face.
"You are the man? Then why is Xiaohui always working?" Tingfeng asks, clenching his hands.
"It's my choice," Xiaohui said, who is hiding behind Meixiu's back.
"Xiaohui" the said girl looked at her back and saw her grandfather, with Qiang who has a black eye and a busted lip.
Xiaohui looks at Meixiu.
"Look at what your useless wife did to Qiang. She needed to stay away from our family!" Grandpa Zheng voiced out.
"I told you Xiaohui, even Father needs to tell you that," Xiaowen said from behind Grandpa Zheng.
"And you! You go with them! I don't wanna see you again from my birthday party!" Xiaowen widens her eyes.
"Father! I didn't do anything!"
"I don't care! You married a useless man now you let your daughter marry a useless woman! Your family is a disgrace!"
"Xiaohui, let's go now. Grandma Peng still needs to rest" Meixiu interrupted as she held her wife's hand and guide her to their table.
"We're leaving, don't tighten your grip on Grandma Peng," Meixiu said in a monotone. Xiulan rolled her eyes before removing her grip on the old lady.
"Thank you for that Meixiu. You know, I can easily take that girl down!" Grandma Peng jokes which Meixiu chuckle at.
"Let's get out of here Grandma since we already have eaten, why not go home?" Meixiu said, helping Grandma Peng to stand up and leave.
Tingfeng looks at Xiaohui's back, who is following close behind Meixiu and her grandmother before clenching his fist. His knuckles turned white at what he did.
"You'll beg for me Xiaohui, just wait."
-
"Meixiu! Why did you do that!? You know that I am pleasing my father just so he can treat Xiaohui kindly!"
"Ma, stop it already. Meixiu just did the right thing."
"And you! Why can't you just go with Tingfeng! You know he has a great future ahead!"
"Ma! How many times do I have to tell you that my father wants this to happen!?"
"Does he tell you not to divorce Meixiu!?" Xiaowen asks, looking at her daughter with furrowed eyebrows.
"Yes, he did! After seeing Meixiu being good to me for a year before he died, he said I should stay with her!" Meixiu looked at Xiaohui.
Xiaowen huff.
"You trust your useless father for your future!? Why can't you trust me huh? I am giving you a better one!"
"It's not giving me a better one! I like my life being simple so I don't need to be married to someone rich!"
After saying it, Xiaohui grabs her wife's hand and drags her inside their bedroom.
"Don't insist because I know Xiaohui don't break promises" Grandma Peng said before walking towards the kitchen.
"Baby, do you like me that much that's why you said it?" Meixiu's face held a stupid smile as she looks teasingly at her wife.
Xiaohui's face turned blank causing Meixiu to cough but still hold her smile.
"I already told my mother earlier. It's my father's request, so what are you still insisting on?"
"Wife, I'm sorry. I was just joking" Meixiu said and rub the back of her neck.
"I'll take a shower, go outside and take the bathroom so you can rest early," Xiaohui said, grabbing the towel on top of the table.
Meixiu walk out of the room and saw no one around. She sat down on the small sofa and sighed.
"That Tingfeng does he not think I won't protect my wife? I have been with her for the past 4 years and it's normal for me to do that."
"Meixiu, you're talking to yourself again" Grandma Peng walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water.
She gave it to Meixiu who the girl smiles at and drank the water.
"Grandma Peng, I can get myself a glass of water. You don't have to."
"I just want to serve you. You've been good to me and Xiaohui."
"It's my duty, Grandma Peng" Meixiu said.
