Chapter 2 — Rebirth: Chu Family Chose the Wrong Person

Chu Tri Tham strode forward. In Chu Kieu Kieu's eyes full of expectation, he raised his hand to hit me. Unfortunately, before I could even touch me, the director - who had just returned - loudly shouted at me to stop me.

“What are you going to do!”

Chu Tri Tham paused, then defiantly spoke up:

“She bullied my sister, I have to teach her for Kieu Kieu!”

The director quickly stepped forward to block me from behind and firmly affirmed:

“No way, how could Mong Lan bully him!”

“Chu Kieu Kieu, you're making things up again, aren't you?”

Chu Kieu Kieu looked at the dean with eyes full of hatred, but when Chu Tri Tham looked over, her expression immediately turned into a pitiful and sentimental one.

“I didn't lie…”

Chu Tri Tham, because he loved his sister, stubbornly argued with the dean:

"You favor Lam Mong Lan like that, it's enough to see how much frustration Kieu Kieu normally has to endure!"

“If you don't let me teach her today, I will tell my parents to cut off aid to this children's camp!”

Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu have always been extremely fond of this son, so of course they are on his side. Mrs. Chu wore a fake smile on her face and calmly said:

"Director Liu, we adults should not interfere too much in conflicts between children. Just let the children resolve it themselves."

The dean's face was full of anger: "Mong Lan is only six years old this year, your son is so much older than him, isn't he clearly bullying the weak?!" Mr. Chu's face darkened: "Principal Liu, you're saying that a bit too much."

“Our Chu family has donated a lot to this children's camp…”

The Chu family was about to put pressure on the donation issue, but the dean without hesitation interrupted him:

“If Mr. Chu regrets donating money to the youth camp this year, I can immediately return it, after all, every year there are countless large businesses willing to support us.”

Mr. Chu's face immediately turned black, and Mrs. Chu could no longer keep her smile. She did not blame her son, but glared at Chu Kieu Kieu, her face full of misfortune and discomfort. Chu Kieu Kieu was so scared that her face turned pale, the smug look in her eyes completely disappeared. She carefully pulled Chu Tri Tham's sleeve and stammered:

“You... or just let it go?”

Chu Tri Tham clenched his fists, unwilling: "I may not hit her, but I have to say a few words to her." The director frowned, his eyes full of caution looking at him. At this moment, I took the initiative to step forward two steps, standing face to face with Chu Tri Tham.

“What do you want to say?”

Chu Tri Tham's eyes were dark and scary, he leaned close to my ear and said in a low voice:

"Lam Mong Lan, I know you have also been reincarnated. You are a selfish, ungrateful thing, a comet that brings bad luck, and completely unworthy of being my sister."

“In this life, when you leave the Chu family, continue being a dirty rat in the sewers of this orphanage!”

After speaking, he took a step back in disgust, pulled Chu Kieu Kieu's hand and said loudly:

“Let's go, Kieu Kieu, my brother will take you home!”

Chu Kieu Kieu immediately nodded, and as she passed me, she boasted in a low voice:

"Lam Mong Lan, even if you don't like me, your friends in the camp also don't like me, so what?"

“From today, I am the eldest lady of the Chu family - the family richest. You will never be as good as me.”

Before those words, my heart remained as calm as a lake. After the luxury car left, the dean let out a heavy sigh:

"Why would the Chu family choose a liar like Chu Kieu Kieu..."

I calmly replied: "Nothing bad at all." In a previous life, after the Chu family went downhill, Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu, out of insecurity, spent money to invite a feng shui master. They begged the fortune teller to save Chu Thi's fate. The fortune teller clicked his fingers and told them to go to the orphanage to find a little girl who had just passed her sixth birthday to adopt. He also specifically told that if there were many suitable children, let the Chu family's son personally choose them. Although our orphanage was not large, there were quite a few children. The director filtered out all the overage children, and in the end, only Chu Kieu Kieu and I remained. Coincidentally, Chu Kieu Kieu and I were not only born on the same day, but our birth time was not much different. In her previous life, Chu Kieu Kieu tried her best to show off, wanting to be chosen by Chu Tri Tham, to enter the Chu family to enjoy glory and wealth. But at that time, Chu Tri Tham didn't even look at her once, his eyes were only fixed on me. As soon as he met her, he affirmed that he wanted to choose me as his sister.

At that time I was only six years old, too young to realize anything. Seeing Chu Tri Tham looking at me full of joy and excitement, I really thought he really wanted a younger sister. It wasn't until later, when the Chu family continuously found reasons to discipline me, not allowing me to make friends, and also forbidding me to leave the house, that I understood: what they wanted was not a relative, but just a docile, obedient "lucky creature". Thinking of the times I silently helped the Chu family overcome storms, in return for only the hateful eyes of a useless person like Chu Tri Tham, the corners of my lips curled up coldly. A person who only knows how to complain about heaven and blame others, not knowing how to try, and a person who has been used to lying and stealing since childhood, and after being adopted, even stole the life-saving money of his adoptive parents and ran away like Chu Kieu Kieu - truly a match made in heaven.
