Chapter 4 — Back in 1975 I Sold All My Clothes and Jewelry

Those tears made Giang Nghi shiver. He suddenly remembered all the things he had done, his eyes darkened. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to his cold appearance.

“Don't pretend anymore. At most, it's just a fall, go to the hospital to get checked out.”

“Get out of the Lam family immediately, don't even dream of using petty tricks to ruin Tinh Tinh's reception!”

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to forcefully pull me up. The next second, the door was kicked open by someone. An old man walked in with a cane, wearing a military uniform, the military insignia on his shoulder so bright it was dazzling. The old man glared at Giang Nghi, his eyes as sharp as knives, as if wanting to pierce him.

“I want to see, who dares to kick my daughter and grandchildren out of the house!”

Someone recognized the old man's identity and shouted in horror:

"That's Commander Co! I've seen his photo in the newspaper!"

"Oh my god, why did Commander Co come here? Just now he said 'my precious daughter and grandchild', could it be that he was referring to these two crazy people?"

“It can't be… So aren't they really crazy? Have we been fooled?”

All eyes immediately turned to the three people standing in the middle: Lam Tinh, her mother and Giang Nghi. All three were silent, filled with panic and doubt. They never informed Commander Co about the reception party. So who invited him?

“Grandpa, I thought you were busy and couldn't come.”

I spoke up with self-pity, as if answering everyone's questions. In front of a majestic Commander Co in front of outsiders, but when standing in front of this granddaughter, his voice softened completely.

“If you hadn't come, wouldn't you know how the Lam family would be turned upside down now?”

“Giang Nghi, do you want to explain to me a little bit?”

The grandfather's cane tapped on the floor, the sound sounded like it was hitting Giang Nghi straight on the body. His forehead began to sweat, and he was speechless and didn't know how to make an excuse. While still confused and not knowing what to say, Lam Tinh quickly spoke up. She glared at me and my mother with venom, as if we were mortal enemies.

"What explanation? Doesn't your daughter - Co Nhu Y - who took my mother's place still want justice?"

"The person who should be the dean's wife should have been my mother!"

She spoke with a sense of righteousness, as if she truly believed that my father was her biological father.

“If she hadn't relied on her family background to force my father to marry her, then why would my mother have to carry her pregnant belly around and end up having to work as a maid in their house?”

"I could have been a rich lady, but in the end I ended up being a maid! It's all your fault!"

She cried as she spoke, choking with sadness. Everyone around was dumbfounded, not expecting a reception party to turn into such a violent denunciation. Some people enjoyed chatting, others looked at my mother with ironic eyes.

"It turns out that the current principal's wife is the third person to barge into someone else's family. No wonder I don't like it at first glance."

"That's right, if that's true, then it won't matter if Lam Tinh replaces Lam Tu Tu."

"She is also a child of the Lam family! I didn't expect the dean to be the type of person to leave his wife and children to climb this high!"

“Who knows about your previous good deeds He's just acting!"

The whole crowd once again believed in Lam Tinh's story of suffering. Giang Nghi was clearly heartbroken and quickly hugged her tightly.

“Tinh Tinh, don't be too emotional!”

“Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you!”

"Mr. Giang Nghi, you are so kind... If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to live..."

Seeing the two of them continue to act out the same cheesy scene right in front of me, I couldn't help but cut in:

“What justice do you intend to seek for her?”

“From the moment she entered my house, everything she wore and everything she did was on par with me. I consider her like a sister, I prepare two parts for everything. What did she have to endure?”

“Also, what proof does she have to prove that she is my father's child? Have you ever taken a DNA test?

I asked so many questions, making both Lam Tinh and Giang Nghi stunned. Lam Tinh opened her mouth again but no longer looked as certain as before.

“Even if you haven't been tested yet, so what? Mom, please tell them I'm telling the truth!”

Lam Lan Anh was in a dilemma, but in the end she still gritted her teeth and lied to her daughter.

“That's right... Principal Lam and I once had a relationship. I didn't intend to say it, but I can't let my daughter suffer anymore injustice!

“These things should have belonged to Tinh Tinh!”
