Chapter 2 — In Their Eyes Who Is A Girl

I stopped, then turned to look at Co Han: "It's too far, it's tiring to raise my hand to pick it up." Co Han was stunned for a moment, then realized I was answering his previous question. He suddenly showed a look of both amusement and reluctance: "It's just a matter of raising your hand..." My phone "ting ting" rang continuously, someone was texting continuously. Seeing that I wasn't paying attention, Co Han reminded me: "Don't you want to take a look?" “Don't worry for now.” I didn't raise my head, I just kept eating. Co Van Van's eyes flashed slightly. She suddenly reached out and picked up my phone, pretending to be worried: "What if something urgent comes up? Even though I've returned to the Co family, I can't cut off all contact with old acquaintances." As soon as she finished speaking, she conveniently opened the phone. Immediately, a series of crying sounds echoed from the speakers, making everyone who heard it hurt: "Sister, please save my life, sister! This woman is truly a devil, refusing to sleep in the middle of the night and writing a plan to develop the antique store. Just the regulation on maintenance of Thanh Hoa porcelain is enough, a hundred things, sister! And yet, she also said that she must expand the scale of the shop, strive for half a year to open a branch, and three years to list the company. It's already six o'clock in the morning. It's already six o'clock in the morning. Pulled me up, forced me to evaluate each antique item, and then forced me to memorize the characteristics of dynasties' ceramics..." "I don't want to be tied to antiques for the next half of my life! The screams echoed throughout the living room. Before my eyes, it seemed like Van Phi was about to collapse. The space immediately fell into a strange silence. Co Han sitting next to him straightened his back slightly and said in a low voice: "I'm done eating, everyone can continue eating." Having finished speaking, he stood up and strode out to work. For some reason, I felt like he had just been injected with a dose of chicken blood, his spirit was on fire. But Co Van Van, who used to act deeply like Co Van Van, suddenly became quiet. I frowned slightly, falling into thought. The person who was hugged by mistake - the real young lady of the Co family, Van Phi's biological sister, actually has such a great threat? Being constantly "bombarded" by Van Phi, I gradually understood how diligent On Thi Nha was. Not only did she stay up all night writing plans, she also continuously renovated the shop, applying scientific management and standard marketing. She even humbled herself to go to Van's father's antique shop, personally help with the appraisal for three days in a row, then started editing. But admittedly, after the renovation, the store really improved a level, and business also improved much more. It's just miserable for Van Phi, becoming the "only soldier" under Wen Thi Nha's hands, being exhausted. But that's still not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is: the Van family's antique shop is just On Thi Nha's side job. Her main occupation is — project team leader of Co Thi Auction Group! More importantly, that position does not come from "the children of our ancestors". She applied herself when she turned 18, working her way up from a small employee step by step. At that time, no one knew that she was Miss Co of the Co family. It's truly terrible. Suddenly I understood Co Han's feeling of urgency this morning. There is a younger sister who "plows like an ox" and always threatens the position of leader, so how can she be more dominant? But now that he's changed into a "salty fish" like me, he probably has nothing to worry about. Uncle Ho's older brother took up the job and took care of himself home, and I was lying on the sofa playing with my phone. Co Van Van finished practicing the zither. I'm still lying on the sofa. Co Van Van finished studying calligraphy. I'm still lying on the sofa. Co Van Van followed Aunt Mai to learn tea ceremony. I just turned over and changed positions. "I... I..." Co Van Van finished holding the cup of tea and walked in front of me, looking hesitant, wanting to say more. My finger was still gliding across the screen, completely unaware that a "humanoid creature" had appeared next to me. A look of frustration flashed across Co Van Van's beautiful face, her tone suddenly rose: "Sister, the Co family is rich, but we should also learn to improve ourselves, we can't waste time." Having said this, she bit her lip slightly, then continued: "Perhaps I lived in a very bad environment before, never saw truly excellent people, and that's all I could see, accustomed to the vague, parasitic lifestyle of the bottom class. But—" She suddenly clenched her fist, her voice was harsher, her eyes staring at me angrily: "That can't be the reason for you to fall!" I raised my head, bewildered: "What is she talking about?" Co Van Van frowned and was about to continue speaking when a familiar voice rang out from the phone. "She's been like that since she was young. She never gets the point when talking, her logic is messy, and her meaning is vague." On the other side of the screen, On Thi Nha paused for a moment, then her voice became much sharper: "Co Van Van, have all these years of studying literature gone to waste? How did the teachers teach, or is it because you refuse to study? Otherwise, how can you still not speak clearly at this age?" “Sister… sister?” Co Van Van's face was pale, her whole body was tense, she unconsciously stood up straight. On Thi Nha's words seemed to hit her hard, causing her to turn around in frustration and leave. On the phone, On Thi Nha turned to thank me: "The software you made is very convenient. Van Phi is right, you are really good at this." I just nonchalantly said "Yes". Before ending the call, she suddenly remembered something and added: "In a few days, your parents... the Co family will return. They are completely different from the Van family's parents, you should prepare yourself mentally." How different? Could it be that they aren't... people? I thought for two seconds, then threw that sentence out of my head. My life at the Co family is actually not much different from the time I lived at the Van family. It's just a change of bed. However, I have to admit that the large sofa in the Co family's living room is really relaxing to lie on. These days, other than when I go upstairs to sleep, I hardly leave it. Actually, I was planning to stay on the sofa overnight, but that time Co Han came down to get water and caught me. He bluntly chased me up to the room and personally escorted me to the door, making sure I wouldn't sneak back to the sofa again. “The years at the Van family... you—” He seemed to want to say something, but then just hesitated and gave up. “Okay, go to bed early.” These days, Co Han has witnessed firsthand the difference between a "salty fish" and a normal person. I can maintain the same position for hours without moving. The day I returned, Co Han gave me a card, saying he would transfer 200,000 pocket money into it every month. But, the funny thing is— Up until now, I haven't even bothered to step out of the villa door, let alone spend money. Today Co Han also rested at home, so I discovered it I'm alive... more temporarily than I imagined, like if I just made a mistake, I could sustain myself to death. He found it hard to bear to look at him, so he shook hands to "help me turn around" — no, help me "correct my unhealthy living habits." Sometimes he pulled me up and forced me to move my arms and legs, other times he reminded me not to stare at the screen for too long, to look up and look far away to avoid damaging my eyes. Being bothered by him so much that I couldn't stand it, I rarely took the initiative to ask: "Why are you at home today?" Co Han paused slightly, about to say something, when the sound of a car was heard outside, he immediately fell silent. Meanwhile, Co Van Van was practicing the piano upstairs and happily ran down and jumped into a woman's arms: "Mom, dad, you two are back! Van Van misses you so much!" The woman hugged her tightly, calling her "baby" endlessly, and the man next to her immediately joined in. A family of three people were close, intimate in all kinds of ways, words of love were not missing a single sentence. {Read full on Van Ha's love page} Mrs. Gu excitedly told stories about going out, while taking out each gift to bring home. Co Van Van was extremely cooperative, constantly raising her face with both hands, uttering excited "wow" sounds, making the atmosphere even more exciting. Even while eating, mother and son chatted non-stop. Mr. Co sat next to them, smiling gently and looking at them. What a picture of a warm, harmonious family. It was just Co Han and I standing outside that scene, it didn't fit anything. Today Co Han is more silent than usual. He glanced at me, his eyes seemed to contain a hint of comfort. I: "?" Then his eyes fell on Co Van Van who was happily showing off the gift, his voice lowered: "Okay, when you eat, just eat. The gift should be eaten and then brought back to the room to open." Then he turned to Mrs. Co, his voice softened somewhat: "Mom, today is the first time you meet Sister Co, shouldn't you prepare a gift for her?"
