Chapter 9 — My sister gave birth and then left. I took the baby and knocked on the door of my great-grandfather's house

“I know you have suffered resentment.”

“From today onwards, you are part of my Co family.”

“With you here, no one dares to bully you.”

“If Du Chau dares to treat you badly, just tell me, I will break his leg!”

These words of his were spoken with great sincerity. The psychological resistance of being forced to "fake real love movies" in my heart gradually disappeared. Instead there was a strange warmth. This whole life, other than those words that appear in my mind. He was the first person to publicly stand up and defend me.

“Thank you, grandpa.”

My voice carried a choking sound that I didn't even realize.

“Yes, good child.”

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

“From now on, change the way you address yourself.”

“From now on, this place is my home.”

I looked at his gentle eyes, then looked at Co Du Chau who had a sad expression next to him. Think again of the little creature upstairs asking for food. Do I really… already have a home? At this moment, the butler hurriedly walked in from outside. His face looks a bit strange.

“Old master, young master…”

He looked at me and Co Du Chau, hesitated and wanted to stop talking.

“Outside… there are two people outside who just arrived.”

“Say it's Ms. Hua's parents.”

"She was crying and making noise outside the gate, saying she wanted to see her daughter, saying that our Co family was oppressing people, holding them captive and not letting them go."

My heart suddenly sank. Trieu Lan and Hua Kien Cong. They chased us all the way here. Truly a dispersing soul. Old Man Co's face immediately darkened.

“Is it the Hua family again?”

“What do they really think of me?”

“Get them out for me!”

"Wait."

I spoke up. I can't keep hiding behind the Co family forever. There are some things I have to solve myself. I looked at the old man with steady eyes.

“Grandpa, let me out.”

“This is my problem, I want to solve it myself.”

Co Du Chau also looked at me, his eyes carrying scrutiny.

“I'll go with you.”

He said in a low voice. I don't refuse. I need a witness. I also need this Thai Son mountain as a support, giving me more confidence. In front of the big gate of the Co family's manor. From afar I saw two familiar and ugly figures. Trieu Lan sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs, and cried to heaven and earth.

“There are no more heavenly principles!”

“My daughter had a hard time growing up and was detained by a wealthy family!”

"Even my biological parents won't let me see them anymore!"

Hua Kien Cong stood next to him, pointed at the guards at the gate, and spoke eloquently:

“I warn you!”

"We are Hua Niem's parents! We have the right to see him!"

"You guys are detaining people illegally! We will report to the police!"

Around them, there were several maids and drivers from the manor watching. Pointing and gossiping at them. Truly one of the best black-and-white scams of the year. They have calculated carefully, the most important thing for a wealthy family is face. That's why I dared to come here to make trouble, wanting to force the Co family to make concessions. I took a deep breath and walked out side by side with Co Du Chau. As soon as she saw me, Trieu Lan's eyes immediately lit up. She immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed towards me.

"Nien Niem! My good daughter! You're finally out!"

"Quickly follow mom home! This is not where we should be!"

She was about to pull my hand, acting out the play of deep mother-child love. I took a step back, coldly dodging.

“Don't touch me.”

My voice was cold as ice.

“Ms. Trieu Lan, Mr. Hua Kien Cong.”

“I think between us, there's nothing more to say.”

Trieu Lan's expression stiffened. Hua Kien Cong's face also darkened.

"Hua Niem! What are you talking about!"

“Is this your attitude towards your parents?”

"Your parents were worried about you, so they took the trouble to come all the way here!"

“Worry about me?”

I felt like I had just heard the most boring joke in the world.

“Are you worried that this tool will slip out of your control?”

"Or are you worried that the plan to use the child to blackmail the Co family has failed?"

The surrounding chatter immediately grew louder. Trieu Lan's face was as red as pig liver.

“You... you're talking gibberish!”

She started to act mischievously.

“When do we blackmail?”

“We just want our family to reunite!”

“Nien Niem, your sister has been hurt so miserably by you!”

"What else do you want? Are you willing to commit to forcing this whole family to die?"

She wanted to throw dirty water on me again. Unfortunately, I am no longer the child Hua Niem let them mold me to. I looked at them and laughed coldly.

“One person?”

"Okay."
