As a bridesmaid for my best friend, with a gift of 2000, after the wedding, one of her WeChat ended our 13-year friendship.
My name is Lin Ting, and my best friend Chen Yue has been classmates since junior high school, and I have always maintained close contact, she is my best friend. We have experienced the joys, sorrows and sorrows of youth together, shared the ups and downs of life together, and looked forward to a better future together. We once vowed to be good sisters for the rest of our lives, no matter what.
When Chen Yue got married, she specially invited me to be a bridesmaid, and I was very happy, happy for her happiness, and moved that she still regarded me as a friend. She is married to a rich second generation in a provincial town, with a superior family background, handsome appearance, and good character, and is a rare good man. I'm proud of her and envious of myself, after all, I'm still a single dog and haven't met my Prince Charming.
I put a lot of thought and time into Chen Yue's wedding, helped her decorate her new house, arranged the pick-up process, and gave her a gift of 2,000 yuan. Although I am not wealthy, I feel that this is what I should do, after all, she is my best friend and I want to give her the best wishes. I also bought a new outfit to grace her at the wedding.
On the wedding day, I was the main bridesmaid, and after being busy, I found that Chen Yue gave the other three bridesmaids a lot more red envelopes and gifts than to me, and I felt a little unbalanced. The other three bridesmaids, all of whom Chen Yue met in the provincial capital, wore famous brands, jewelry, and spoke in a foreign manner, looking high, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I think maybe Chen Yue wants to take care of their face, after all, they are all from the provincial capital, and I don't want to care about this, as long as she still treats me as a friend.
After the wedding, I took the car of Chen Yue's relatives and left the provincial capital, still blessed her in my heart, and was also pleased with our friendship. I thought, when she gets home from her honeymoon, I'll go see her again and give her a special gift, which is a photo of us when we were young, and I've put them all into a beautiful album that I've spent a month collecting from all sorts of places, and I think she's going to love it.
The next night, Chen Yue sent a WeChat message, saying that he wanted to take back the red envelopes for the wedding day, and when I saw it, it turned out to be two red envelopes of 2,000 yuan, and I was stunned. I recalled that when I blocked the door that day, the two red envelopes I received were filled with change, and I didn't count them, how could it be 2,000 yuan? I think Chen Yue must have made a mistake, or deliberately found fault and wanted to turn his face with me.
I called Chen Yue ** and wanted to explain it clearly, but she never answered, just urged me to pay back the money on WeChat, saying that I was a greedy person and didn't know how to be grateful, and that I was a poor countryman who was not worthy of being her friend. I was so angry that I had to transfer 100 yuan to her, and then cancel her WeChat to the top, thinking, this is the last time I will cross paths with her, and from now on, we will no longer be friends.
A few days later, I heard Chen Yue's cousin say that it turned out that the groom took the wrong red envelope for hiding shoes when he was greeting his family, and gave it to us as a red envelope for the opening of the house, and Chen Yue thought that I had taken 4,000 yuan, so he asked me for money. She later found out the truth and regretted it, and wanted to apologize to me, but she was too embarrassed to speak, so she never contacted me. Her cousin persuaded me to forgive her, saying that she was impulsive, not intentional, and that she still treated me like a good sister.
After I listened, I was even more disappointed, my friendship with Chen Yue broke down because of this money, and she didn't even give me a chance to explain, so I broke off contact. She wants to apologize now, it's too late, I don't want to see her anymore, I don't want to listen to her anymore, she is no longer the Chen Yue I know, she has changed, she has become a person I am not familiar with.
I think, maybe this is life, some people, some things, always have a good beginning, but there is no good ending, the same is true of friendship, not more than love, not more than family affection, it is difficult to last. I don't blame her, I don't hate her, I just feel a pity, it's a pity that our friendship, it's a pity that our memories, it's a pity that our dreams are all ended like this with a wedding, a WeChat, and a sum of money.
I decided to let go of this friendship, no longer think about Chen Yue, and no longer contact her, I want to learn to let go, some people, some things, don't have to worry about it often, just smile and pass, it's a sunny day. I also have my life, my job, my hobbies, my family, my other friends, they are all the sunshine in my life, they are all the source of my happiness, they are all the motivation for me to keep going. I want to cherish them, love them well, thank them well, and let them know that I am a happy person, a lucky person, and a loving person.
