Chapter 12 — My adopted sister stole the direct admission, I flew directly to Harvard

I heard... Co Chi Vien and Lam Uyen Nhu finally started to really regret it. They looked at my photo full of spirit at Harvard, then looked at Co Nguyet Anh next to her - who was now nothing more than a soulless corpse - her insides were almost green with regret. They finally understood. What they once threw away with their own hands... Is an unpolished gem. As for the thing they've been holding in their hands for so many years... It's just an ordinary rock covered in mud. They started frantically contacting me again. The messages sent are no longer reproaches or orders. But full of humility, remorse and late love.

“Tinh Than, I was wrong… I'm sorry.”

“Tinh Than, I miss you so much… when will you come back to visit your parents?”

As for all those messages... I just calmly looked through them once and then deleted them. A heart that has been hurt too many times will scab over. Will become hard. The mirror is broken... It can't be restored like before. Faith and love... Once completely consumed... Will never come back. I heard that sometimes Co Nguyet Anh will see news about me on TV. She would stare at the image of me confident and calm on the screen. His eyes flared with intense jealousy and resentment. Then he went crazy and smashed the remote control. That's all she can do. Our lives have long gone in two completely different directions. They will never intersect again. In my final year of college, right before I was about to graduate, something unexpected happened. Co Chi Vien and Lam Uyen Nhu... Traveled halfway around the world from the country to Harvard to find me. That day I was doing an experiment in the lab when I received a call from campus security.

"Miss Gu, at the school gate there are currently two guests claiming to be your parents. They didn't have an appointment, they were very excited and insisted on meeting you."

My hand holding the phone paused for a moment. But it's really here. I calmly answered the phone:

“I don't know them.”

"Please handle it according to school regulations. Don't let them come in and affect campus order."

Having finished speaking, I hung up the phone and continued to focus on the experimental data in front of me, as if the call just now was just a marketing call not worth worrying about. Half an hour later, I finished the experiment, packed my things and prepared to leave. As soon as I stepped out of the laboratory building, from afar I saw two familiar yet unfamiliar figures standing in front of the school gate. They age a lot. Co Chi Vien's back was bent. Her hair is more than half gray. The face is full of weathered wrinkles. Lam Uyen Nhu is even more emaciated. She was wearing old, out of place clothes, standing in front of the majestic Harvard gate, looking extremely out of place. They were stopped outside the gate by security guards, impatiently looking inside the campus. At that moment… They saw me.

"Spirit! Spirit!"

Lam Uyen Nhu shouted excitedly, despite everything she wanted to rush towards me, but was stopped by the security guard.

"Spirit! It's dad!"

"Let Mom and Dad in! Mom and Dad just want to come visit you!"

Co Chi Vien also shouted towards me, his voice choked up as if he was about to cry. I stopped walking. Standing a few dozen meters away from them, coldly looking at those two people. Look at his panicked and regretful face Surname. I didn't step forward. Didn't respond either. Just looked silently for a few seconds. Then turn around. Stride away in the opposite direction. My back is decisive and steadfast. Behind him, Lam Uyen Nhu's heart-wrenching cry rang out.

"Spirit! Don't go!"

"Look at me! I asked for it!"

Co Chi Vien also stood next to her and burst into tears like a child, constantly banging on the cold iron gate. They stood outside Harvard's gates. Looking at my back I left without any regret. Tears welled up. Regret to the end.
