Chapter 24 — I Used To Love You To Exhaustion

Yet over the past three years, she had asked for help from Hoac Canh Xuyen countless times, but he never had the slightest idea of a solution. She also thought that Huo Canh Xuyen was a filial son. The old lady held Huo's shares, so it was difficult for Huo Canh Xuyen to deal with it. So she consoled herself over and over again, over and over again swallowing the bitterness in her heart. Now that I think about it, how ridiculous it is! Mrs. Kieu did not understand the end of the story, but still hugged her daughter and cooed and comforted her. That afternoon, Hoac Canh Xuyen took Hoac Than and knocked on Kieu Van Ngoc's door. Kieu Van Ngoc had finished cleaning up her mood, placed a pile of wool on the table, and was knitting a cute wool hat. As soon as the door opened, Hoac Than rushed in first, his bright eyes staring at Kieu Van Ngoc.

“Mom!”

Kieu Van Ngoc paused, unable to react for a long time. For the past three years, don't say "mom", even "Miss Kieu" Hoac Than has rarely called her. In front of the Hoac family, he would restrain himself a bit, calling her "Kieu Van Ngoc" or "that woman". Behind her back, he would call her "little tam" and "crazy woman". This was the first time she heard Hoac Than call her mother. The feeling at this moment is extremely indescribable, like when you were a child craving a bar of chocolate, but when you grow up and taste it, you find it normal, even a bit boring. Kieu Van Ngoc put down the ball of wool: "Don't call me that." Hoo Than didn't care what she said, his eyes fell on the unfinished beanie, surprise and joy appeared on his face.

"This was done for you! You knew it right away, I couldn't bear to be angry with you for long."

Kieu Van Ngoc is skillful and used to make miscellaneous handicrafts. The wool hats she knitted were all very sturdy and lovely. She has done many things for Hoac Than, but Hoac Than has never worn them. Sometimes he even used scissors to cut off pieces of wool, with a mocking smile on his face: "My mother told me, wearing these cheap things on your head will cause an allergic reaction!" After he finished speaking, he ran away. Kieu Van Ngoc squatted on the ground, picking up scattered pieces of wool. What was Hoac Canh Xuyen doing at that time? Ah, it seemed like he was in a hurry to get to the company, glanced at it and said nonchalantly: "Don't do these things anymore. If you need anything, just ask Uncle Vuong to buy it." Thinking about those old stories, Kieu Van Ngoc's heart still aches. Seeing Hoac Than reaching out to reach for the hat, Kieu Van Ngoc slapped his hand away.

There was a "sting" sound, not too strong, but a baby's tender skin immediately left a red mark.

Hoo Than looked at Kieu Van Ngoc in surprise: "Mom?"

“I told you not to call me that!”

Kieu Van Ngoc's voice was cold as she tidied up the messy wool, "This is not for you either." This is the gift she prepared for Tieu Ta. Chapter 21 Huo Chen was confused. He was still just a child, not knowing how to handle the situation at hand, so he looked for help towards Huo Canh Xuyen. Huo Canh Xuyen sighed and said in a poignant voice: "God, you hurt me before, that's why I didn't want to talk to you."

“Sorry mom, please.”

Hoo Than pretended to understand but didn't. He nodded, turned back to look at Kieu Van Ngoc, and timidly said: "I'm sorry, Mom."

"I was so bad before, can you forgive me?"

This apology, Kieu Van Ngoc calmly naturally accept it. After all, Hoac Than not only didn't like her, he also threw acid on her. If it weren't for the fact that he was still too young, Kieu Van Ngoc really wanted to throw him in jail. It's natural to hear him say sorry. It's just... Kieu Van Ngoc lifted her eyelids: "I accept your apology, but even if you apologize I don't want to talk to you."

“I have never liked you, before I only did so because I had to please you.”
