Chapter 4 — Diamond Encrusted Birdcage

I also recorded each debt, intending to pay it off later. At that time, I really wanted to grow up quickly, pay off all my debt and buy my own house... even if it only had one bedroom. When I entered college, my mother suddenly came to me, kindly asked, and brought news that my father had passed away. She welcomed me to live with her. I couldn't believe it, I thought I was finally loved. But in that house there were my mother and stepfather's rooms, and my brother's room — but not my room. I have to sleep in the living room every day. I remember very clearly, the toilet in the house always had urine stains on it, and the living room always had men's underwear hanging that my mother had hand-washed. I couldn't integrate, but I still gritted my teeth and endured it, just because of the little love I had never received. Not long after, I learned that my mother picked me up because my brother was sick and likely needed a kidney transplant. I refused her request. She cried and grabbed my hair, scolded me for being ungrateful, then took all the money I had and forced me to get out of the house. It turns out, the price of "motherly love" is a kidney, plus 2,487 yuan. It's truly a luxury. That stormy night, I had blood on my head and fainted in front of a black car. When I most needed a pair of hands to pull me out of the mud, Co Dieu Xuyen appeared. I healed my wound, and tuition fees also began to be taken care of. I have my own bedroom, dressing room, office... even my own small apartment. Co Dieu Xuyen and his money supported my unsteady life. So, when he stood alone in front of the Co family's gate, like a dog that had lost its owner, even though my mouth gently said to let go, my heart still couldn't help but feel weak. I thought, this time, it was my turn to catch him when he fell. Co Dieu Xuyen realized I was lost. He didn't question me to force me to give an answer, but on the contrary, the wrinkles between his eyebrows relaxed: "I understand. You're afraid of repeating your parents' mistakes." “Don't rush, take your time, you have plenty of time.” "I'll prove to you that I'm not just a whim, and we won't be like them either." I was about to take off the ring on my hand, but he put it back on. In the dim living room, everything blurred into the background, only his eyes were bright and full of sincerity. I was stunned. Then suddenly I saw his face darken, his jaw tensed as if his teeth were about to break. “But that white-faced guy who brought the cat today—” “Bao, him, get out.” 15 Evicting is definitely impossible. Luc Bach Vu has a very good reason to come back to my house — to visit Pi Pi. The next day, Luc Bach Vu arrived on time. With a "Ding Dong" sound, the elevator opened and Co Dieu Xuyen also stepped out of it. The two men faced each other and stopped at the same time. A person wearing a neat white T-shirt, holding a bunch of sunflowers in his hand, looked like the male lead coming out of a youth movie. The other person was wearing a shirt and trousers, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist, sharp features, but he was carrying meat and vegetables in his hands - the contrast made the scene even more strange. When I opened the door, I immediately saw that scene. “Zhizhi, good afternoon!” I don't know if it was out of politeness or not, Luc Bach Vu very cleverly omitted the word "sister" after it. I received the flowers, put them at his feet, and thanked him. But when we both walked in, I felt awkward - The house only has one pair of men's slippers, now give it to me
It's not reasonable for anyone. That's it. Luc Bach Vu is a guest, a little younger, his "younger brother". Give him the slippers. Co Dieu Xuyen probably won't mind. Toi Dua dep cho Luc Bach Vu. There was a "pop" sound behind him - I don't know when, Co Dieu Xuyen entered the kitchen. He showed no expression and threw the shrimp into the sink. Luc Bach Vu saw the little cat lying lazily on the sofa, his eyes smiling more crooked: "Thank you for helping me take care of Pi Pi, he seems to like being here very much." As soon as the thank you finished, the sarcastic voice rang out again: "People don't even know that people are allergic to pollen, your way of thanking is very special." Luc Bach Vu's face turned red and he apologetically said to me: "Sorry, I'm so stupid, I should have asked you first." “Thanks… for reminding me.” Co Dieu Xuyen coldly interrupted: "Do you call everyone 'brother'? Shut your mouth." Luc Bach Vu's smile stiffened slightly. Me: …Can't these two go out and fight and then come back? So loud it hurts my head QAQ. 16. The fighting extended to the dinner table. Luc Bach Vu picked up food for me and was also interested in telling me the story of studying abroad. I asked a little shyly: "If you can't continue studying, what do you want to do in the future?" “I…” Luc Bach Vu's chopsticks paused, unable to answer. "Starting a business with nothing is really difficult," Co Dieu Xuyen slowly peeled half a bowl of shrimp, "it's normal for people like you to not be able to do it." Co Dieu Xuyen's mouth felt like it was laced with poison. I stomped on his foot under the table. I should at least show some respect to his cousin. Why would he attack a child's self-confidence like that? “You probably don't want to rely on anyone and want to prove yourself to your family, right?” Co Dieu Xuyen leisurely looked at Luc Bach Vu: "Our company has a creative writing project that needs a director. I heard your major is quite suitable, or should you come work under me?" Luc Bach Vu: "How much is the annual salary?" "Nowadays, there are as many new graduates as fallen leaves. An international student like you isn't worth much," Co Dieu Xuyen picked up a peeled shrimp in my bowl, then changed his tone, "but... I can give you a yearly salary of one million. Although this amount won't help much, it's enough for you to complete your studies." Luc Bach Vu's eyes lit up. Co Dieu Xuyen continued to paint the cake: "The scenery there is beautiful, there are mountains, water, deserts, and many animals, very suitable for an artist like you to paint landscapes." What an attractive offer. But the look on Co Dieu Xuyen's face made me feel that this was not that simple. Seeing that Luc Bach Vu was still hesitant, Co Dieu Xuyen sighed softly and suddenly became... gentle. "If you're hesitant, that's it. There are a lot of people lining up to ask for this condition, so I'm only willing to give you a helping hand to Luc Lang Tieu—" "You know my brother?" Luc Bach Vu widened his eyes. Your brother's friend certainly can't be wrong. With this relationship, in his eyes, Co Dieu Xuyen becomes much more trustworthy. “Or… should you think more?” I couldn't bear it so I softly spoke up to stop him. But Luc Bach Vu made up his mind: "Okay, I sign." After eating, Luc Bach Vu finally left. He was thoroughly "brainwashed" by Co Dieu Xuyen, and even carried Pi Pi away, saying he didn't want to bother me anymore and would send him to his cousin's place. I couldn't help but remind Co Dieu Xuyen not to do anything stupid. He didn't bother to pay attention. bow down,
Picked up the black men's sandals and coldly threw them into the trash. "I can't be nonsense. The conditions are real, the project is also real." “It's just… the job is a bit far away, in Kenya.” Co Dieu Xuyen slowly wiped his hands: "Who said he was too close to you?" “I have to drive it far away to feel secure.” 17 Co Dieu Xuyen's cruelty made the "Diamond-encrusted Birdcage Board of Directors" seethe again. 【Chich Chich (version where Miss Co proposed): Why didn't Tan Y Song say anything? What's next?】 【Young Master Tran is domineering and pampered to the fullest: If you ask any more questions, Luc Lang Tieu will probably kick him. She is in poor health, and has to be bedridden for three days every time.】 【Has Tieu Thu run away today while pregnant: Not admitted.】 【Miss Ly is my child: Not admitted.】 … Overnight. Co Dieu Xuyen appeared on time again. Thinking about Tan Y Song, I was still a little worried so I didn't give him a good look. But today his voice has a distinct nasal sound, like he has a cold. Sitting on the sofa to help me look at the design, Co Dieu Xuyen weakly coughed: "Dear, sit a little further away, so it doesn't infect you." I nodded, immediately increasing the distance. Not expecting me to react so quickly, he immediately lamented: "Sitting so far away, I'm about to go to the next house." A moment later. He coughed louder and louder. Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and started to accuse me: "Kim Chuc Nguyet, don't you see? I'm sick." "You're coughing so clearly, it's definitely because you didn't give me your slippers yesterday, leaving me cold. Now I really need your attention." I bowed my head and flipped through the book: "If you weren't wearing sandals and you were this sick, then you're too weak, aren't you?" "Besides... who knows who it was last night that didn't sleep in the middle of the night, stripped off and sent me a picture of his abs? I see you're still hot, how can you catch a cold?" Co Dieu Xuyen looked very resentful: "But before, every time you were sick, I always took care of you." "You clearly said you liked me too, but now you're not as nice to me as before. That's not fair."
