Chapter 20 — I Used To Love You To Exhaustion

"What are you apologizing for? Mom and dad both know. I'm sure you're resentful at the Hoac family, but you don't want your parents to worry, so that's why."

Lady Kieu insisted on taking her suitcase and pulling her into the car with her. She grumbled constantly: "Look at you, you've been strong and aggressive since you were little. Although our family can't compare to the Hoac family, we can't let them bully us. Why don't you go home if you're frustrated?"

"I told you Huo Canh Xuyen is not a good thing! His son is just like his father!"

Kieu Van Ngoc obediently crouched down in the chair, not daring to stroke her mother's tiger whiskers. Lady Kieu has always disliked Huo Canh Xuyen, feeling that a man who can make such a fuss over Co Thanh Nguyet is not a kind person. Before, Kieu Van Ngoc was not convinced. Whenever Mrs. Kieu said bad things about Hoac Canh Xuyen, she would jump up and down to defend him. But now hearing these words again, Kieu Van Ngoc's heart is as calm as a mirror. After several months of being away, she no longer found the excitement of her past. After talking for a while, Mrs. Kieu sighed: "Forget it, your safety is more important now."

"You don't know, Hoac Canh Xuyen thought you were on that death plane, thought you were dead, he went crazy."

“You act as if you love me so much, so what has he been doing in the past three years?”

"I didn't even bother to tell him that you were still alive, let him suffer and torment. It's just that he was so disruptive, he insisted on holding a funeral for you, and it happened to be on the occasion of your father's birthday party, so I asked you to go home..."

Kieu Van Ngoc followed her words and imagined that scenario. Hoac Canh Xuyen hugged Hoac Than, crying in front of her tablet... She shivered slightly, got goosebumps, couldn't help but laugh at herself. I don't know what to think, how could Hoac Canh Xuyen care about her so much? Even Hoac Than, finally being with his biological mother, will surely be very happy. Kieu Van Ngoc said softly: "I'm still alive, it's really unlucky for him to have my funeral. At dad's birthday party, I'll show up a bit, so he won't go crazy anymore." Chapter 17 At the party, the guests were bustling, raising their glasses and toasting, and their dresses were in order. Hoac Canh Xuyen clenched the wine glass in his hand, his face expressionless, his eyes drifting in unknown direction. Hoac Than also stood next to him, wearing a small suit with a bow tie, but his eyes were still swollen. A few people around were whispering loudly: "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Kieu family died on the plane. Why does this family act as if nothing happened? They're even holding a birthday party?"

“Maybe the death of a girl won't affect them at all.”

"That's right, this Kieu Van Ngoc is really useless. She married into the Hoac family for three years and was kicked out. If I were her parents, I would also feel embarrassed..."

Hoo Than tugged at the hem of Hoac Canh Xuyen's shirt, his normally clear voice was now hoarse from crying so much: "Dad, are they telling the truth?"

"No one loves mom? Aren't your grandparents sad too, dad?"

Co Thanh Nguyet often cried in front of him, saying that Kieu Van Ngoc came from a wealthy family and had a happy family, while she was struggling and miserable, and had nothing to compare with Kieu Van Ngoc. Hoac Than doesn't understand that much, it I only know that Co Thanh Nguyet is very pitiful, and Kieu Van Ngoc lives better than Co Thanh Nguyet. That's why he tried to bully Kieu Van Ngoc, just hoping that Co Thanh Nguyet would be a little happier. Now it seems that Kieu Van Ngoc is not happy at all? There was finally some wavering in Huo Canh Xuyen's eyes. Actually, he also found it strange, Kieu's parents were not people who did not love their daughter.
