Chapter 4 — Rebirth: Chu Family Chose the Wrong Person
I had never seen the dean so angry. After she finished speaking loudly, she saw Mrs. Trinh's pale face and gradually softened her voice.
“I always believe that adoption is about choosing a non-blood relative, not for some personal gain.”
“Sorry, but I don't think you two are suitable to adopt children.”
Lady Trinh immediately burst into tears: "We know this is not right, but as parents, we really cannot stand by and watch our children lie motionless on the hospital bed without doing anything."
“Aunt Luu…”
I opened my mouth to say something, but the director glared at me, as if if I dared to open my mouth and follow them home, my life would be over for her. I obediently kept my mouth shut. Actually, as soon as the Trinh family started talking, I remembered - they were the family that adopted Chu Kieu Kieu in her previous life. The Trinh family has two daughters, the eldest daughter, Trinh Chan, is twenty years old and is studying at university. The youngest daughter, Trinh An An, is twelve years old and is in a coma due to an accident. Such a situation is not ideal for those who adopt children, but the Trinh family has their own company and a lot of assets, so there is no possibility that after adoption they will be mistreated or unable to raise their children. In her previous life, Chu Kieu Kieu, despite the principal's objections, insisted on following them home to live happily. Crying and going on a hunger strike, the dean finally agreed. The Trinh family treated Chu Kieu Kieu very well, not only buying her beautiful clothes, but also sending her to the best school. Even though many years have passed, Trinh An An still hasn't woken up, but they have never mistreated Chu Kieu Kieu, always treating her as their own daughter. It wasn't until Trinh Chan graduated from college and was preparing to inherit the company that his parents called the three sisters together to discuss asset division. Mrs. Trinh's eyes turned red and she said:
"In theory, the property in the house should be divided equally between the three sisters. But as you know, An An's condition means she may have to stay in bed for the rest of her life."
“So my parents discussed and decided to give An An a little more.”
Trinh Chan saw that and nodded without hesitation, completely agreeing. Chu Kieu Kieu also smiled and agreed, looking very understanding. But as soon as she turned around, she took all the Trinh family's money and ran away.

The Trinh family considered Chu Kieu Kieu as their own daughter, not only openly announcing the division of assets in front of her, but also completely unguarded. With that type of family, I don't believe they would do the things the director is worried about. On the contrary, I find them pitiful. Trinh Chan saw that the dean did not agree, his eyes were a bit gloomy, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Aunt Luu, if you really don't feel secure, we can't go through the adoption process right away. This girl will only be my parents' adopted daughter first."
After hearing this, Mrs. Trinh immediately nodded:
“Yes, yes, yes, that's fine.”
Mr. Trinh used a tissue to wipe his wife's tears and said seriously:
"Director Liu, your concern is completely correct. But for us, there is only one way left now. As long as there is a little hope of waking my youngest daughter up, we also want to try."
“Please rest assured, we in the Trinh family are not the type of people to cross the bridge and escape.”
“Today's story, just We need you and the girl to agree. From now on, we will donate to the children's camp every year."
“As for this baby, from today onwards, her dress standards will be exactly the same as my biological daughter. Not only did I let him go to the best school, but after he finished college, I also gave him another million as a thank you."
“I know that mere words are meaningless. If you agree, I will immediately have someone prepare a contract.”
Mr. Trinh said it so clearly, the dean listened and thought of the benefits I would get, so he fell silent. She hesitated for a moment, then finally turned around and handed the decision to me.
“Mong Lan, you have always been a person with opinions. About today, whether you agree or not, decide for yourself."
The eyes of the entire Trinh family simultaneously turned towards me. I raised my head to look at them, without much hesitation, I opened my mouth and called out:
“Adoptive father, adoptive mother, eldest sister.”
Lady Trinh was stunned. She was the first to react, immediately nodding vigorously, extremely moved. Mr. Trinh also had a clear smile on his face. Trinh Chan smiled happily, pulled out a thick envelope from his pocket and gave it to me.
“The first time we met, I didn't prepare much. This is a meeting gift, please accept it.”
“When I get home, I will give you another gift later.”
I was not polite, smiled and said "thank you, big sister", then raised my hand to receive the lucky money bag. When I picked it up, it was very thick, probably worth five thousand yuan. I was a bit surprised, even the director was stunned. Her attitude softened, she kept the Trinh family for dinner, then let an experienced teacher in the hospital invite me to the Trinh family's house to try it out for a while. Mr. Trinh and Mrs. Trinh happily went to get the car, Trinh Chan took the initiative to hold my hand and walk out. The Trinh family lives in a villa area in the city. I carried the kettle and got out of the car. The Trinh family warmly led me and the teacher inside.
“My room is already prepared, located on the second floor. Time is tight, so I'll keep the old style. If you don't like it, I'll call someone to change it to your liking later."
Trinh Chan opened the door and smiled at me. I looked at the simply decorated room, which actually suited my taste very well. After all, I am the one who came back to life, no longer a real six-year-old child.
