Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

That evening, my WeChat account received a friend request. Unexpectedly, the sender was Trieu Van Tinh. She apologized to me. She gave my address to Tham Chieu Xuyen. She thought that Tham Chieu Xuyen and I were childhood friends, that we had feelings between the two of us so we still needed to keep in touch, so she didn't think too much. She was very sorry for causing trouble to me. Actually, the person who should apologize is me. The first time I stood under the Trieu family's house, the first person I thought of was Trieu Van Tinh. I have lived in the villa for eighteen years, enjoying the best education and living conditions. And she has to live in this cramped house, have to do housework, take care of her younger brother and sympathize with her parents' need. I occupied her life for eighteen years. I'm really sorry. But to my apology, she didn't pay attention, most of the time she was just busy complaining. She complained that Lam's mother was too strong and pragmatic. Complaining about Lam's father's personal life and his "beautiful" mental state. Complain about the arrogance and prejudice of my cousins. Complain about rigid and disciplined etiquette teachers. After that, she also mentioned that Lam's mother wanted to intervene in registering her wishes. She secretly transferred to a university in Jiangnan. Finally, she said: "Being a young lady is not easy. You have worked hard." No matter how I say it, I was the beneficiary of the first eighteen years of my life. Therefore, I am not worthy of the word "hard work". But this real lady really talks a lot. Not inferior to Tran Van Tiep. However, the two of them are still not the same. Tran Van Tiep is a little better at finding things to talk about. 09 The results of the first mock exam were announced. I scored 682 points, ranked first in the entire grade. The homeroom teacher tried to force the corner of his mouth to curl up, seriously instructing me to maintain my demeanor and not be too arrogant. Actually, I haven't had time to be arrogant yet. I am still lamenting the disparity in educational resources between regions and classes. In the evening, after self-study ended, my deskmate Phuong Dao suddenly dumped a large bag of snacks on my desk. "Your Excellency, you are mighty! Thanks to your light, I have earned a bag full of money. This is what I honor you with!" I looked at her bewilderedly: "Huh?" "Oh right, you just transferred here so you don't know yet. Let me explain to you..." "School Number One has three dominant students: Thieu Phi, Tran Van Tiep and Ta Nam. Every time they take an exam, the three of them compete for the top spot in the grade." "I don't have any talents. I just worked as a bookie during the summer vacation and opened a betting table to see who would come first in the first mock exam." "I didn't expect that a great minister like you would appear in the middle of the road." “These are all your trophies!” When she said that, she excitedly shook my shoulder. I was shaken to the point of dizziness. In the end, Tran Van Tiep had to speak up to stop Phuong Dao from "performing magic". I looked at the pile of spicy sticks and instant noodles in front of me, propped my chin up and asked Phuong Dao: "Are they the only three options? Is there no 'other' option?" Phuong Dao was stunned and shook her head. I cleverly said: "Do you know what it means that the dealer wins everything and has to pay everything?" The two of them looked at each other. Phuong Dao's hand sneaked into the desk drawer, then quickly grabbed her schoolbag and ran away. "I have urgent work! The mosquitoes in the house have been hungry all day! Goodbye, see you again!" On the way home, Tran Van Tiep explained that Phuong Dao ran so fast because the person who bet the most, and was also the unluckiest, was him. “I ordered ten packs of instant noodles and fifteen packs of spicy sticks, betting I would come out on top.” "It's not that confident, just the spirit of not being able to lose. Mainly just playing for fun." When he said that, his eyes and eyebrows curled up. His eyes are both clear and clean. 10 But very soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. Because when we stood downstairs, we could clearly hear Trieu's parents arguing in the house. "We already owe Doanh Doanh enough. She still wants tuition fees

of her for Hieu Than to train in e-sports? So what should the child do? Trieu's mother's voice clearly carried a choking sound: "She is my biological daughter, so you must understand me." “I know we are sorry for him, but isn't his brother's future important?” “The school is about to expel Hieu Than. If we don't find a new path for it, what will it do in the future?" “At first I did not support him playing games.” “But now that the company has recognized his talent and the child himself also likes it, can't we give him a try?” After a few seconds of silence, Trieu's mother said again: " Doanh Doanh is a capable child. At most, he can still find the Lam family..." "What are you talking about? That's our biological daughter!” “If Tinh Tinh had a problem and came back to find you, wouldn't you help him?” “Nanh Doanh is the same. As long as he opens his mouth when faced with difficulties, the Lam family will definitely..."
