Chapter 3
Chapter 3 — Jia Thien Kim chooses his own life
Every time I walk down the block, I feel like a monkey in a zoo. I just hope the first day of school comes quickly. Trieu's parents treated me quite well, but that kindness still carried a feeling of strangeness. Only Trieu Hieu Than could frankly express his dissatisfaction with me. He criticized me for not knowing how to cook and not being able to work in the kitchen. I also don't know how to clean the house or do housework. My food, appliances, and living habits are all too stylish. Tran Van Tiep secretly told me not to pay attention to it. Previously, Trieu Hieu Than could not defeat Trieu Van Tinh and was suppressed by his sister with blood for too long. Now seeing that I have a good personality, I make insinuations every day. He also secretly told me that the graphics card Trieu Hieu Than hid was in an iron box in the second shelf of my bookcase. "I'll use that thing to threaten him and make sure he's obedient." I nodded. These two are truly good brothers. I started learning how to fry eggs and cook noodles. I researched the range of uses of each mode on the washing machine, and also researched the prices and quality of everyday items. Compared to blaming heaven and blaming others, I believe even more that life is my own. From luxury to frugality is not easy. But the future is still so long, I will live well within my ability. 07 On the day of admission, I saw a familiar sports car in front of the school gate. Tham Chieu Xuyen blocked my path, examining my blue and white uniform from top to bottom. “Go ahead, don't you know how to call me?” "If the Lam family can't take care of you, then we can take care of the Tham family. Come home with me." As he spoke, he was about to pull my wrist. I took a step back to avoid: "How can the Tham family support me? Haven't you registered for school in California?" His fingers stiffened in midair. I looked into his eyes and continued to say: "Tham Chieu Xuyen, you just need to take responsibility for your life." “I will plan my life myself, without you interfering.” “Besides…” “You can't make decisions for the Tham family.” That sentence seemed to touch his pain. He smirked and took half a step closer to me: "That's right, Lam Tu Doanh is the best at planning things for me." “Then why don't you think about it, a pampered big lady like you comes to this ridiculous place, can you bear it?” "If only you'd come with me. My pocket money is more than ten times higher than your living expenses in this ragged school." "At best, you don't need to go to school, I can take care of you..." Before he finished his sentence, I slapped him directly. Tran Van Tiep, who was secretly standing in front of the school gate, saw me make a move, immediately stepped forward, pulled me back a step and stood in front of me. It seemed like he was afraid that Tham Chieu Xuyen would fight back. Actually, he worries too much. Although Tham Chieu Xuyen is careless and has an arrogant personality that is difficult to tame, he is still not shameless enough to attack his daughter. Tham Chieu Xuyen saw Tran Van Tiep shielding himself in front of me, immediately got angry, grabbed his collar: "I'm talking to Lam Tu Doanh, who are you?" I pushed his hand away, blocking it in front of Tran Van Tiep: "Why do you need to vent your anger on others?" "Anyway, we can still be considered childhood sweethearts. Do you want us to become enemies next time we meet?" The reason I say "half" is because the sincerity we have shown each other up to now is only half. I used to treat him well. He also honestly considered me his childhood friend. But after growing up, our feelings were mixed with the connections in our two families' businesses. We no longer have all our hearts for each other. He would chase me out of the car in the middle of heavy rain and tell the driver to pick up the new girl he met. He would emphasize time and time again in front of his friends that I was just one of countless girls who actively flirted with him. He will use me as a bet, betting on my reaction
After learning he changed schools. The cakes I brought him were not made by me. The gift I gave him was not hand-carved by me, but was just a housekeeper's error, originally prepared to soothe children. The study plan I made for him was actually the result of research given to me by his mother. Seemingly realizing my seriousness, Tham Chieu Xuyen in front of him finally regained his noble appearance. He seemed to regret what he had just said wrongly. His shoulders drooped: "Sorry, I..." I interrupted: "I forgive you." “So we don't need to have anything to do with each other anymore.” Having finished speaking, I pulled Tran Van Tiep into the school. When I reached the teaching building, I realized I was still holding his arm, so I immediately let go. When I turned my head, I saw that the other person's face was somewhat unnaturally red. The weather in August is really hot. 08
