Chapter 15
Chapter 15 — My grandmother tore up my admission notice, and tore up my status as a Thien Kim Hao Mon
“It's true that I told her to take it.”
“But I didn't say to give it to Duyet Duyet.”
Tham Duyet was dumbfounded.
“Second aunt!”
“You told me to go up on stage and ask!”
The second aunt's face immediately turned cold.
“Browse Browse.”
"If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense."
That moment. Everyone looked towards the two of them. Tham Duyet finally understood. The person who always protects her... Actually just sees her as a knife. Once a knife is used, it can be thrown away. I walked down the stage. Walk past her.
“Is it pleasant to be taken advantage of by others?”
Tham Duyet gritted his teeth.
“There's no need for you to pity me.”
I looked at her.
“I don't pity you.”
“I just remind you of something.”
Then I turned to look at my second aunt.
“The person who really wants to take everything away from you…”
“Maybe not me.”
First time. Tham Duyet's eyes looked towards her second aunt with suspicion. Right at the party. Mr. Tham publicly declared:
“From today.”
“All records and activities of the charity.”
“Tri Ha will participate in supervision.”
Sounds of surprise echoed throughout the hall. The second aunt's face darkened to the extreme. And Tham Duyet stood in the middle of the crowd. For the first time, no one was on her side. She wanted to cry. But no one cares anymore. After the party. Second uncle proactively looked for me.
“Bringing things out at home for others to see.”
“Not nice at all.”
I looked at him.
“Second uncle came to advise you.”
“Or come to clean up the consequences for second aunt?”
He laughed.
“Say whatever you want.”
“My second aunt is just hot-tempered.”
“But not with bad intentions.”
I took a sip of tea.
“People with bad intentions usually don't write the words 'bad intentions' on their faces.”
The smile on uncle's lips faded a bit. He looked at me for a long time. Finally said:
“You look a lot like your dad.”
I put down the tea cup. Smiled and replied:
“Thank you, uncle.”
But in my heart I understand very clearly. Second uncle is not praising. He is warning me. And that makes me even more certain. The secret of the year I disappeared... It's getting closer and closer.
“But the Tham family is not an exam room.”
“A high score does not mean you will win.”
I looked at my second uncle.
“So what is the Tham family?”
He took another step closer.
“It's a relationship.”
“It's love.”
“It's to see who can stay until the end.”
I nodded.
“I understand.”
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Understand what?”
I calmly replied:
“Second uncle is afraid that you will stay.”
The smile on his face immediately disappeared.
“She's so smart.”
“Too smart often suffers losses.”
I smiled faintly.
“Since childhood, I have lived at a disadvantage.”
“Not missing one more time.”
He looked at me for a long time. In the end, nothing more was said. Just turned around and left. Luong Am walked out from behind.
“Did he just threaten you?”
I shook my head.
“He's reminding me.”
“Reminder of what?”
I looked at my second uncle's back.
“Remind me that…”
"The person who wants to kick me out of the Tham family is not only Tham Duyet."
The next day. The school suddenly announced. The review of the Outstanding New Student scholarship has been temporarily postponed. The reason is that someone anonymously reported that my identity profile had just changed. The process is not complete. Luong Am was so angry that he hit the table.
“Obviously it was intentional foul play!”
I just laughed.
"No problem."
“Let them do it.”
Date of review. I came directly teaching room. There are several teachers in the room. And also Tam Duyet. What surprised me was that she was one of the student representatives attending. See me. She smiled softly.
“I just follow the process.”
I pulled out a chair and sat down.
“Then follow the correct procedure.”
One teacher spoke up:
“Classmate Tham Tri Ha.”
“My previous name was Lam Niem.”
“Currently, the procedure to change household registration is still being processed, right?”
"Some people think I used Lam Niem's identity to take the university entrance exam."
“But he used Tham Tri Ha's identity to receive a scholarship.”
“This could be controversial.”
I nodded.
"No problem."
“You can receive a scholarship under Lam Niem's name.”
Tham Duyet immediately interjected.
“But now everyone outside knows that you are Tham Tri Ha.”
I looked at her.
“So you object to the name after all?”
“Or object to me receiving a scholarship?”
Tham Duyet immediately choked up. A teacher coughed.
“The school only considers achievements and conditions.”
Right at that moment. The room door opened. Teacher Tran walked in. In his hand he held a thick stack of documents.
“This is her entire three-year high school achievement.”
“Certificate of competitions.”
“Certificate of difficult circumstances.”
“And a letter of recommendation from the teacher.”
The teacher looked at Tham Duyet.
“When her name was Lam Niem.”
“She is excellent.”
“Now her name is Tham Tri Ha.”
“Still as excellent.”
“The name may change.”
“But not the scores.”
The whole room fell into silence.
