Chapter 1 — Back in 1975 I Sold All My Clothes and Jewelry

1

Back in 1975, I took all the jewelry and new clothes given to me by Giang Nghi, sold them cheaply on the black market, and deliberately dressed slovenly like a beggar. Only because of my previous life, my parents worked very hard to get me a chance to return to the city. I received the clothes sent by Giang Nghi. Knowing he was coming to pick me up, I happily wore new clothes and even wore the hottest hair bow in the province. I think I will meet the person of my dreams again with the most beautiful appearance. Unexpectedly, when I ran to the meeting point to get on the bus back to the city, I saw the poor female intellectual Lam Tinh who was going to the countryside with me sitting in my seat. She said with absolute certainty that she was Principal Lam's daughter, and clearly told me the story in my house. She angrily pointed at my new clothes:

“Everyone knows my father is a righteous person, how could he let his daughter go to the countryside and still dress so splendidly?”

“With such a lavish lifestyle, if my father knew, he would definitely be angry!”

Everyone believes her words, no matter how I explain, it's useless. I was kicked out of the car and had to return to the meeting point. The letters I sent to my family and Giang Nghi also went unanswered. Three years later, times changed, and my group returned to the city. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Lam Tinh wearing a one-piece dress, holding Giang Nghi's arm, the two of them were intimate without hiding anything. As if I had been struck by lightning, I rushed to pull Giang Nghi's sleeve, but he coldly pushed me away.

“Lam Tu Tu, I didn't expect you could really come back!”

Before he could understand what he meant, Lam Tinh spoke up to explain:

"Sister, Giang Nghi and I have been in love with each other for several years. Thanks to your ability to return to the city, I was able to return early to marry him."

“Oh right, you probably didn't know, Director Lam thought you were in the countryside and ran away with another man, so he had a stroke and died.

My mother also passed away last year. The property you two left behind is now mine and Mr. Giang Nghi's."

"You have nothing left now, so pitiful."

I was so angry that I vomited blood. Giang Nghi took me to the hospital under the pretext of treatment and coldly said:

“Tu Tu, don't blame me.”

“If you just stay in the countryside and marry a farmer, who will tell you to come back?”

“For the sake of your bright future, it would be better for you to die.”

Abusing his position, he without hesitation injected me with an overdose of drugs, causing me to despair and die on my hospital bed. But in this life, everything has not happened yet! This time, I will definitely not let that scum couple have their way! I picked up my packed luggage and got into the car. The man wearing glasses sitting near the car door frowned and looked at me.

"The seats are full, who are you? Hurry back to the meeting point for intellectual youth!"

I pretended not to know anything, covered my mouth and cried out in surprise.

"Are the seats full? How is this possible? I have a chance to return to the city! Who took my seat?"

The man's face became unsightly. He turned his head to look around, as if checking to see if I was telling the truth or not. I pointed straight at Lam Tinh - who was sitting looking a bit tense - and questioned.

“Lam Tinh, why are you sitting in my seat?”

She immediately objected.

“What is your place? This place is mine!”

The man also spoke up.

“Yes, you know her identity Are not? This is the daughter of Director Lam at the provincial hospital and Commander Co's wife, don't talk nonsense!

“The daughter of Director Lam and Mrs. Co? Are you talking about her?”

I half-smiled and didn't ask again, my eyes were like knives pointing straight at Lam Tinh. She paused, a guilty look flashing in her eyes, but still tried to keep her spine straight.

“That's right, it's me! I am Principal Lam's daughter, the chance to return to the city this time is mine!

She also intended to use my outfit to criticize me for having an improper lifestyle, but as soon as she looked around from top to bottom, Lam Tinh froze on the spot. Nothing. Not even a single item given by Giang Nghi! Seeing the doubt in her eyes, I smiled meaningfully. Lam Tinh's heart beat loudly. She clearly understood that if she couldn't push me out of the car this time, she and Giang Nghi would be done for! Her eyes fell on the tattered clothes I was wearing, and she flashed a hint of mischief.

"Mr. Giang Nghi has already prepared a party to welcome me in the city, you dress like a beggar like this, how can you attend?"

“Sister, I know you really want to return to the city, but you can't steal someone else's spot like that, think about it properly.”

Lam Tinh said words full of morality. Compared to her timid appearance when she first came to my house, she is now much bolder. My eyes stopped on the outfit she was wearing - the outfit my parents had sent home together. My eyes darkened. Lam Tinh is the daughter of Aunt Lam - the maid in my house. Her biological father is a gambling addict who was arrested by the police, and has absolutely nothing to do with my father. At that time, because they saw that she was about my age and in a pitiful situation, my parents agreed to let Aunt Lam take her to live with us. I'm so happy to have another younger sister, I almost share half of everything good with her, treating her like a younger sister. Lam Tinh also appeared obedient and polite. When the whole family was confused because I was sent to the countryside, she proactively said she would go with me, making me so moved that I begged my parents to adopt her. However, before he died in his previous life, Giang Nghi kindly gave me a sincere sentence:

"Whatever comes with me, it's just because her name is also on the list, I have to go."

She was originally a white-eyed wolf, raising her would never be wise! I was just about to expose Lam Tinh's true identity in front of everyone, when the other man spoke again.

“That's right, don't stay here and cause trouble anymore. If she's not Dean Lam's daughter, could it be you?

She has both a family heirloom from the Lam family and a handwritten letter written by Dr. Giang - the future son-in-law of the dean, to prove her identity!

“Even though Director Lam is working elsewhere, he still specially wrote a letter authorizing Dr. Giang to organize a party to welcome her back to the city!”
