Chapter 1 — Rebirth: Chu Family Chose the Wrong Person

After the Chu family - the richest family - adopted me from the orphanage, they cherished me like a treasure in the palm of their hand. They didn't need to know how well I studied, as long as I wore a beautiful princess dress and obediently called "mom and dad", I would be rewarded. Even Chu Tri Tham - the eldest young master of the Chu family, whom outsiders say is hot-tempered and stubborn - also treated me like his own sister, pampering me to the fullest. Until the Chu family's parents passed away and Chu Tri Tham's business failed, leaving the company on the brink of bankruptcy, he continued to pamper me. He chased away rich businessmen who came to propose to me more than once, but in the end he still had to give in.

"Lan Lan, I'll help you just this once. As long as it lasts tonight, Chu will revive. Until then, I'm still the eldest lady of the Chu family."

I remained calm and only asked one question: "Brother, after Chu's resurrection, can you really manage it?" Chu Tri Tham - a person with mediocre abilities - was immediately angry. He stepped on the gas pedal and angrily scolded me while driving:

"Chu Mong Lan, you are truly an ungrateful and ungrateful person! The Chu family has raised you for so many years, and only asked you to sacrifice for the family once, but you still refuse!"

"What a blessing! In my opinion, the Chu family became what it is today, it was all because of you!"

In a fit of rage, the car crashed hard into the railing, I immediately lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, ten-year-old Chu Tri Tham was glaring at me dissatisfiedly, then in front of everyone's eyes, he pulled the hand of a skinny little girl and firmly said:

“I choose her to be my sister!”

"Mr. and Mrs. Chu, this is the little girl I told you about before. Her name is Mong Lan, her parents died when she was very young in a car accident."

"This child has never caused us to worry about anything. Not only has he studied well for many years, he is also pretty and has an extremely obedient personality."

The director smiled brightly as he spoke, his eyes shining with undisguised pride when talking about me.

“If you two adopt her, she will definitely be very well-behaved, never causing trouble…”

Before the sentence was finished, Chu Tri Tham pulled Chu Kieu Kieu's hand, saying he wanted to choose that girl to be his sister. Everyone was stunned. The dean glanced at Chu Kieu Kieu, frowned slightly but still kept a smile: "But Mong Lan is the one who suits your needs better..." I instinctively pulled the dean's sleeve, wanting to tell her to stop advising her. But as soon as I opened my mouth, Chu Tri Tham's face darkened and he unceremoniously said:

“Where does she fit my family's requirements?”

“The sister I choose must be a simple and honest person, not the type of person who only cares about herself and is good enough to crush others - a mean-spirited girl!”

After speaking, he glared at me again, then raised his head to look at Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu, his face full of discomfort:

“Mom and Dad, before coming here, you two said to let me choose the person I like to be my sister, are you going back on your word now?”

From the beginning until now, Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu have never glanced at me once, their eyes always followed their son. Now seeing that their beloved son had chosen someone, they both immediately smiled indulgently.

"How could that be? Tieu Tham, today is for today I choose my sister, of course I have to listen to my wishes."

As soon as they spoke, their eyes fell on Chu Kieu Kieu. Seeing the girl's happy and excited expression, a flash of hatred flashed quickly in the bottom of her eyes. As if suddenly remembering something, Mrs. Chu smiled and confirmed:

"Tieu Tham, choosing a sister is a very important thing. If you decide today, you won't be able to change it later."

“You definitely thought carefully and wanted to choose that girl, right?”

Chu Tri Tham glanced at me, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, then squeezed Chu Kieu Kieu's hand and firmly replied:

“Yes, I want to choose her as my sister!”

Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu glanced at each other, then looked at the dean.

“Director Liu, do as Tieu Tham wishes, from now on this girl is the daughter of the Chu family.”

The principal glanced at me, hesitantly: "But..." I immediately pulled her sleeve gently, shaking my head slightly. Seeing that I didn't want to, the director could only sigh softly: "Okay, I'll go do the procedures right away." Chu Kieu Kieu happily asked Chu Tri Tham:

“Brother, so from now on I will be your sister, right?”

Chu Tri Tham lowered his head to look at the girl, not knowing what to think, but a gentle look flashed in his eyes:

“Of course, you're both pretty and clean, you can tell you have a good personality.”

"Most importantly, my last name is Chu, it's true that God intended us to be a family!"

He raised his hand to pat Chu Kieu Kieu's head, her face immediately smiled brightly, her eyes stared at me with malice:

“Brother, if I get bullied in the future, will you protect me?”

Chu Tri Tham's eyes also turned to me, eyes full of resentment: "Of course." As soon as Chu Kieu Kieu found support, she immediately pointed her finger at me and denounced:

"Lam Mong Lan often bullied me, didn't let the children in the hospital play with me, and falsely accused me of stealing, causing the director to punish me. Can you help me educate her?"

Chu Tri Tham laughed coldly and glared at me:

“Surely you are not a good person!”

“This morning you were still pretending to be obedient, all just to trick me into taking you home!”

He let go of Chu Kieu Kieu's hand and coldly committed:

“Kieu Kieu, rest assured, I will definitely teach her strictly on your behalf!”
