Chapter 10 — I Tear Up The Script They Wrote For My Life

Or to be more precise… I once met him. He is the vice president of my father's company. When my father was still alive, he often came to our house to eat. I always call him Uncle Tan. After my father passed away, he also resigned from the company, and since then completely lost contact. Why did he appear in “The Gardener”'s phone? What relationship does he have with this person? Who are the other two people in the photo? Is it his family? I stared at that gloomy-looking teenager. There's always a feeling in my heart... I've seen it somewhere before. That face. That look... Suddenly I remembered. In my high school graduation yearbook… There was a transfer student. He only studied for less than half a year and then moved away. Lonely personality, very quiet. Almost no one in the class remembers him. But I remember. Because one time he accidentally bumped into me, getting all my books wet. He kept apologizing, his face red. It's this face. What's his name? It was as if I was struck by lightning, and in an instant I understood everything. Vice President of the Qin family. They are father and son! The woman in the photo... is his mother.

“The Gardener”…

It's Tan Hao! The transfer student only appeared in my life for only half a year, with almost no intersections. Why did he have to do that to me? What enmity is there between us? At that moment, the conversation in the video continued. Trieu Dinh looked at the photo on his phone and asked Chu Minh:

“Is this your benefactor's family photo?”

Chu Minh's voice carried a bit of emotion.

“If it weren't for him, my life would be over.”

“So why did he help you?”

Chu Minh paused for a moment then lowered his voice.

“Because I helped him do something…”

“Something he always wanted to do but never had the chance.”

“That year, the girl he liked…”

“Stolen by Hua Dien's father.”

Chu Minh's words were like a bomb exploding in my head. The girl Tan Hao likes... Was stolen by my father? How is this possible? My parents love each other voluntarily. Love is always very good. Why did a third person appear? In the video, Trieu Dinh was as surprised as I was.

“You mean Hua Dien's father is an interloper?”

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Chu Minh nervously looked towards my bedroom.

“It's not what you think.”

“That woman is Tan Hao's mother.”

"That year, Tan Hao's parents and Hua Dien's parents were close friends and also business partners."

"Tin Hao's mother and Hua Dien's grandmother have an extremely good relationship, as close as sisters."

"Tin Hao's father, now Uncle Tan, was crazy after his wife that year."

“But in her heart…”

“The person she likes is actually Hua Dien's father.”

My mind was completely blank. I try to digest this pile of information. Used to like my dad? Incorrect. Chu Minh is speaking… Tan Hao's mother used to like my father.

“What happens after that?”

Trieu Dinh quickly asked again.

“After that, Hua Dien's father rejected her, choosing to marry Hua Dien's mother.”

"That woman was born out of love and hatred. In anger, she agreed to marry Uncle Tan, who had always been pursuing her."

"She thought that doing so would stimulate Hua Dien's father and make him regret it."

“But the results…”

"The couple was still very happy, and soon Hua Dien was born."

“And her married life is not happy at all.”

“Uncle Tan, though love her very much..."

"But his personality is weak and his career is always overshadowed by Hua Dien's father."

“She vented all her resentment on her son Tan Hao.”

“Since childhood, I have beaten and scolded him and mentally manipulated him.”

“She told Tan Hao that…”

"Their family's unhappiness today is all Hua Dien's family's fault."

"It was Hua Dien's father who ruined her entire life's happiness."

"It was Hua Dien's mother who took away the man who should have belonged to her."

“And Hua Dien…”

“Robbed him of the happy childhood that should have belonged to him.”

My whole body was cold. I finally understood... Why did Tan Hao's eyes always look so gloomy and scary? A child growing up with his mother's resentment... How can it be normal?

"Tin Hao transferred to Hua Dien school in high school because his mother arranged it."

"The purpose is to approach Hua Dien and find an opportunity to take revenge."

“But he failed.”

Chu Minh's voice carried a bit of contempt.

"He's too introverted, he doesn't even dare to talk to Hua Dien."

“In less than half a year, his mother was disappointed so he transferred schools again.”

“Not long after that, Hua Dien's father died in an accident, and the company also went bankrupt.”

"Tin Hao's mother thought it was retribution, considering that God had helped her take revenge."

“This should have ended there.”

“So why is Tan Hao still…”

Trieu Dinh couldn't help but ask.
