Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — My sister gave birth and then left. I took the baby and knocked on the door of my great-grandfather's house
The day my sister gave birth and went abroad to study, my mother forced me to quit school to claim the baby as her own. But just as I was about to refuse, a line of comments suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, telling me to take the child to find his biological father... the young master of the Co family. After her sister gave birth, she immediately went abroad to study. The still red baby was left behind for the family to take care of. Mom held my hand tightly, her eyes were red.
"Don't go to school anymore."
"From now on, just say the baby is biological."
I was stunned.
"Based on what?"
"This baby is not born to me!"
Mom sighed.
"Your sister's future is important."
"I'm not good at studying, and I won't pass the university entrance exam anyway."
Every sentence and every word made me tremble with anger. I'm about to flatly refuse. Then at that moment... Suddenly a row of strange comments appeared before my eyes. 【Don't raise! The baby is the son of the young master of the Co family!】 【Carry the baby and go find him, you won't have to worry about clothes for the rest of your life!】 I bowed my head to look at the child in my arms. The corners of his lips slightly curled up in a cold smile. The next morning. I held the baby and appeared in front of the Co Thi Group building. My older sister, Hua Thanh, had just given birth and immediately went abroad to study. The baby, still in diapers, was left behind by her family. My mother, Trieu Lan, held my hand tightly. Red eyes.
"Tieu Niem, please skip school."
"From now on, just say the baby is biological."
I stood still. Mind is empty.
"Based on what?"
I pushed her hand away, my voice shaking with anger.
"The baby is not born!"
Mom immediately changed her face.
"Your sister's future is more important!"
"He has received an offer from a prestigious foreign school. He absolutely cannot let this affect him."
"What about you?"
"Education is not good at all, and I can't pass the university entrance exam."
"Isn't it clever that you raise the child instead of your sister?"
Every word she said was like a knife cutting straight into my heart. I was so angry that my whole body was shaking. From childhood to adulthood, it's always been like that. The best always belongs to you. As for the dirty work, the tiring work, the sacrificing work... It's all my part. Just because she's beautiful. It is the pride of the whole family. Just a faint shadow standing behind her. I looked at my mother. Each word spoke very slowly.
"Is this also your idea?"
She avoided my eyes. But still stubbornly responded.
"Your father also thinks about you."
"What good does it do for a girl to study a lot?"
"Getting married early is important."
"Now that this baby is available, we can easily find a good family for him."
I just find it ridiculous. Wild to the extreme. I bent down to look at the baby in my arms. It's still tiny. Sleep very well. It didn't do anything wrong. So on what basis should I bear the burden of my sister's selfish mistake? Based on what, you have to trade your whole life? I was just about to refuse. At that moment... A few lines of yellow text suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Only I see it. 【Don't agree!】 【This child is the biological son of the eldest young master of the Co family, Co Du Chau!】 【Bring the child to find him. He will give you enough money to live for the rest of your life, to leave this place far away!】 I stopped. Respiration also stopped for a moment. The top wealthy family only appears in the financial news? I bowed my head and looked at the child. I didn't expect its status to be so big. Hua Thanh is really good at calculating. Quietly give birth for the young master of the Co family. Then throw all the trouble back at me. As for me, I leisurely went abroad to pursue my future. So what am I? Is the trash dedicated to cleaning up the mess for her? The fire of anger in my heart gradually turned into coldness. If you guys are so unfaithful... Then don't blame me for nothing. The corner of my lips slowly curled up. A cold smile that even I found strange. I looked at my mother.
"I will raise it."
Mom immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His face was full of joy.
"That's what a good girl is."
"When your sister becomes successful in the future, she will definitely not mistreat you."
I didn't reply. Just quietly bent down to look at the baby. It frowned slightly in its sleep. I gently patted him. I will not raise children. I will take my child to a better place. A family... A thousand times better than ours. The next morning. Mom is still busy in the kitchen. Just stewed soup for my sister. While happily preparing to make a video call to announce "good news". I put on my oldest backpack. Inside were only a few sets of clothes and identification papers. Then picked up the sleeping baby. Quietly open the door and step out. The house I lived in for eighteen years. But never once did I feel the warmth. I stood in the cold morning breeze. Look at the closed door one last time. There was no longer any nostalgia in his eyes. There is only finality left. I took the phone to call a car.
"To the Co Group."
