Chapter 13 — I'm in charge of my own life

Bui Huc Ngon immediately supported her: "Chu Thoi Nhat, do you have to say such harsh words? She didn't force you. From beginning to end, I decided for you."

“If it was your decision.” A female voice suddenly rang out. “Then you go and take responsibility yourself.”

Aunt Tan stood up. Bui Huc Ngon was stunned: "Mom!" Aunt Tan walked up to the podium. She did not look into the livestream lens, but just stared at her son.

"The day the university entrance exam got points, I told my mother Van Tinh that I couldn't pay the tuition. My mother and father discussed it. We could deduct 100,000 yuan from the budget to buy a car to help her pay the first year's tuition."

The whole hall was shocked. To Van Tinh's face was bloodless. Bui Huc Ngon panicked: "Mom, it was suggested by our parents..."

“It's true that my parents suggested it.” Aunt Tan nodded. "But I refused. I told Van Tinh to have high self-esteem and didn't want to owe the Bui family. I also said that Thoi Nhat just got a 200,000 yuan scholarship. She has good grades and will make money easily in the future. Using Thoi Nhat's money will have the smallest impact on everyone."

I tightened my grip on the microphone. It turns out that's it. It's not that the Bui family refuses to spend money. Bui Huc Ngon and To Van Tinh DO NOT WANT to take it from the Bui family. Aunt Tan looked at To Van Tinh. "Van Tinh, you were also present at that time. Have I told you yet, if you are really in difficulty, you don't need to pay this money back?" To Van Tinh lowered her head. Tears fell to the floor.

“Yes.”

“So why did you refuse?”

She was silent for a long time. The tiny voice was almost inaudible: "I don't want you to think that I know Huc Ngon for money."

“So you are willing to take Thoi Nhat's money?” Aunt Tan asked again.

To Van Tinh cried so much that she couldn't speak. Bui Huc Ngon stood in front of her: "Mom, this is my idea. Don't force her."

“I don't force him.” Aunt Tan's voice became cold. "I asked you. After Thoi Nhat refused to donate money, why didn't you tell your parents? Why did you continue to pressure her? Because..." Aunt Tan paused for a moment, then continued for him: "Because you regret that car. And also because you know Thoi Nhat likes you. I think she will be angry for a few days, and eventually she will agree."

Bui Huc Ngon's face turned white little by little. He looked towards me. For the first time, there was panic in his eyes.

"That's not true. Thoi Nhat, I didn't think so."

I didn't reply. Mr. Tham Tri Vien closed the file in front of him.

"The company has completed the review of existing documents, the current truth is clear. First, Chu Thoi Nhat has never signed the donation confirmation. Second, the wishes submitted by Bui Huc Ngon cannot represent the scholarship recipient. Third, the school's propaganda content has not been verified by the owner.

Therefore, the donation is invalid. The 200,000 yuan scholarship will be fully distributed to Chu Thoi Nhat's education account according to the original agreement." A round of thunderous applause rang out from the stands. This time, it was louder than the Poinsettia celebration that day. But I wasn't moved at all. I just looked towards my parents. Mom was secretly wiping her tears, dad bowed his head, nodding continuously. It was as if he had finally breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Tan took out her phone. Call right in front of everyone.

"Old Bui, don't look at Huc Ngon's car anymore. He promised to help Van Tinh, so he took 100,000 from the budget to buy the car. The remaining budget is kept as his university tuition. As for the car, he will earn money to buy it himself in the future."

Bui Huc Ngon looked at his mother stunned.

"Mom! That's what you promised me..."

“My parents promised me a gift when I passed university.” Aunt Tan looked at him. “But DO NOT promise to let me use other people's money as a flattery tool.”

Livestream exploded.
