Chapter 5 — Go home
"Nguyet Nguyet is the daughter of the Tran family. She wholeheartedly prepared for Mrs. Tran's birthday. No matter how effective the performance was, it was part of her intention." He faced the Tran couple, his voice was calm and calm, without any emotional fluctuations, but not angry but still majestic. "If Han Han goes on stage again, he will take away the master's position." The Tran couple was forced by his aura to stiffen their faces, and was about to argue, but Mr. Dao gently raised his finger, revealing the feeling of oppression typical of people who have been in high positions for a long time. "What's more, my daughter is not If you want to play, who dares to force you?" No need to be angry, just a light sentence, with an absolute strength that does not allow for rebuttal. 11 "General Manager Dao, I didn't mean that..." Mr. Tran quickly stepped forward and explained flatteringly. "Yes, after all, we were Han Han's adoptive parents, how can we force her? You two misunderstood!" Mrs. Tran also hastily explained. "Mrs. Tran is the one who misunderstood, right?" Mrs. Dao stepped up just in time, took Mr. Dao's arm, and leisurely said: "It's true that the Tran family once raised Han Han for half a year, but I hope you two can clarify, now the girl's family name is Dao. During this time, the thank you gift given by the Dao family is probably enough to repay some of your original 'nurturing grace'." Mrs. Tran's face was pale, she was about to open her mouth, but facing Mrs. Dao's disdainful eyes, she immediately retreated behind Mr. Tran. "Today you invited us to be guests, my daughter has no obligation to save your face." Mrs. Dao raised her chin and lightly mocked: "If there is a next time, this kind of invitation will no longer be sent to the Dao family." This sentence was like a resounding slap, making the Tran couple's faces full of shame. The whole school was as quiet as paper. I stood behind Mr. Dao and Mrs. Dao, raised my head to look at their straight backs, tears could not stop flowing. There is no need to consider the pros and cons, no need for me to endure the humiliation of perfection. This is the first time in my life that I have my back firmly covered, without holding anything back. After the party ended, Dao and his wife led me out of the Tran family's house. Behind her, Mrs. Tran had a pale face, and Mr. Tran hurriedly chased after her. "General Manager Dao, we didn't do the right thing just now, I hope you and Mrs. Dao will forgive me." "That's right, absolutely don't let this little matter affect the interactions between our two families!" "That's right, today's matter is really something we didn't think carefully..." Mr. Tran and Mrs. Tran seemed to be singing a duet, each one saying a sentence, trying to resolve the awkwardness just now. "You Tran family." It's interesting.” Mrs. Dao was not as calm as Mr. Dao, and immediately responded: "In front of her, she threw away her face, then she begged for forgiveness, truly two-faced and three-hearted." Mr. Dao did not turn his head, one hand holding Mrs. Dao's hand, the other covering my back. "Wife, you and Han Han get in the car first, I'll handle it." Mr. Dao spoke softly to Mrs. Dao, and at the same time opened the car door, helping us get into the car and sit. Through the glass, I saw Mr. Dao standing in front of the Tran family, his back straight. I couldn't hear what he said clearly, I only saw Ms. Tran's face fall little by little. Mr. Tran wanted to reach out to shake Mr. Dao's hand, but the latter avoided him without a trace. Mr. Dao then turned around and walked towards the car. He opened the door, sat in, started the car, his voice was calm as if saying the moon was very full tonight: "It's done." Mrs. Dao in the back seat let out a "hmph" sound: "Your personality is too good." "Nothing like that." Mr. Dao looked at me through the rearview mirror, with a hint of laughter in his voice: "Han Han, this door of the Tran family, we will never enter again." "What do you mean?" Ms. Dao raised her eyebrows and asked with interest. "Cooperation between Dao Group
Thi and the Tran family, ending at the end of this quarter.” Mr. Dao narrated nonchalantly, as if he were talking about a small, insignificant matter: "Tomorrow I will ask the legal department to send an official dispatch, terminating all further projects." "That's okay." Mrs. Dao nodded with satisfaction, hugged my hand and gently patted it: "Baby Han, shall we go out to eat late?" "Yes." I replied softly. The car drove steadily into the night. I looked out the window, each streetlight receding behind me. The two silhouettes in front of the Tran family's door became farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, until completely erased by the night. 12 Since Dao Thi ended cooperation with the Tran family, all companies in the world that did business with Dao Thi no longer had contact with the Tran family. Mr. Tran and Mrs. Tran came to the door several times, but were invited back by the Dao family's security guards. Everyone rumored that the Tran family was about to go bankrupt. Throughout the semester, occasionally during breaks between heavy assignments, I would meet Nguyet Nguyet in the hallway. The girl who used to be like the sun gradually lost her light. She became timid and scared. The girls who were close to her stayed away without making an appointment. In the final exam, Nguyet Nguyet's performance fell off the block rankings. Many people said that the Tran family had submitted a leave application to the school. Nguyet Nguyet may be returned to the orphanage.
