Chapter 13 — My grandmother tore up my admission notice, and tore up my status as a Thien Kim Hao Mon

The second uncle's hand holding the cup of tea paused. The second aunt didn't say anything anymore. In Tham Duyet's eyes, only hatred remained. After the family party. Mr. Tham called me to his study. He took out an old wooden box.

“This is my remaining silver bracelet.”

I opened the box. Inside is a silver bracelet that has discolored over the years. The inside is engraved with four words.

“Tri Ha is safe.”

I gently tightened the bracelet. Mr. Tham looked at it for a long time.

“That year after I went missing…”

“This is the only thing left in the house.”

I raised my head.

“Who was the last person to see you?”

Mr. Tham was silent for a few seconds.

“It's your aunt and uncle.”

I was stunned.

“Second aunt?”

Old man Tham nodded.

“That day I fell asleep in the flower garden.”

“She told me to go answer the phone call.”

“When I turned around, I was gone.”

I bowed my head and looked at the silver bracelet in my hand.

“So…”

"She's afraid that I'll come back."

Mr. Tham looked at me.

"Before you have evidence, don't rush to conclusions."

I calmly replied:

“I'm not in a hurry.”

Because the person who should be impatient... Maybe it's not me. Right at that moment. There was a very small noise outside the door. I immediately went to open the door. The person standing outside is Tham Duyet. Her expression was a bit unsightly.

“I was just passing by.”

I leaned against the door frame.

“Going by the study room and eavesdropping?”

Mr. Tham said in a deep voice:

“Tham Duyet.”

Her eyes immediately turned red.

“Whatever I do now is wrong in everyone's eyes.”

I walked in front of her.

“Hearing second aunt's name…”

“What are you afraid of?”

Tham Duyet instinctively took a step back.

“I don't understand what you're talking about.”

I smiled.

“Then go talk to second aunt.”

“Stop trying to test me.”

Tham Duyet gritted his teeth.

“Tham Tri Ha.”

“Do you really think you've won?”

I closed the wooden box. The sound rang out very softly.

“I'm just getting started.”

Three days later. The school organizes an exchange session for new students. Tham Duyet went with her second aunt to school. Second aunt just donated a batch of new equipment to the school. The school board of directors personally came to welcome them. Maybe that's why. Tham Duyet found some confidence again. She walked in front of me.

“Second aunt wants to come see if you are living well at school.”

I looked at my second aunt.

“I'm sorry you care.”

The second aunt smiled very politely.

“We are all one family.”

“No need to be polite.”

Having finished speaking, she turned to the school leadership.

“Tri Ha grew up in a small town.”

“Somewhat stubborn personality.”

“If I cause trouble to the school, I hope everyone will understand.”

The smile on the school leader's face immediately became a bit forced. Luong Am stood next to him and couldn't hear anymore.

“Tri Ha is the new student representative.”

“Not a special student.”

Second aunt glanced at her.

“Who are you?”

“Tri Ha's roommate.”

Luong Am replied. The smile on the second aunt's lips faded a bit.

“Tri Ha.”

“To make friends, you should also choose the right circle.”

Luong Am's face immediately turned red. I looked straight at my second aunt.

“What do you mean my roommate is not qualified?”

The second aunt calmly replied:

“I didn't say that.”

“Then please explain more clearly.”

There were students around who started paying attention to the conversation. The second aunt's face gradually became unsightly. Tham Duyet immediately interjected.

“You misunderstood.”

“Second aunt only cares about you Stop."

I turned to look at the school leader.

“Teacher.”

“Does donating to the school include the right to look down on a student's roommate?”

The leader's expression immediately changed. The second aunt's smile completely disappeared.

“Your words are too heavy.”

I calmly replied:

“So maybe it's because the work you do is too light.”

Luong Am gently pulled my sleeve.

“Tri Ha, stop it.”

I shook my head.

“No need to ignore it.”

“From childhood to adulthood, I've heard so many words 'forget it'.”

Right at that moment. Mr. Tham's assistant entered the hall. He went straight to the front of the school board.

“Mr. Tham decided to sponsor an additional scholarship fund.”

The principal was immediately happy.

“Really?”

The assistant nodded.

“This fund is dedicated to students with difficult circumstances but excellent achievements.”

He paused for a moment then continued:

“And according to the old man's opinion…”

“The scholarship fund will be established in the name of classmate Tham Tri Ha.”

The entire hall simultaneously looked towards me. The second aunt's face was extremely ugly. Tham Duyet blurted out:

“Grandpa, why don't you discuss it with everyone?”

The assistant looked at her.

“The old man's money.”

“There's no need to discuss it with anyone.”

A few laughs rang out in the crowd. I turned to look at Luong Am.

“The first person to receive this scholarship.”

“I recommend Luong Am.”

Luong Am was stunned. Speechless. Just now, second aunt mentioned "circle". So I'll show her what a real circle is. Don't rely on family background. But based on dignity.
