Chapter 7 — Rebirth: Chu Family Chose the Wrong Person
Twelve years passed like a blink of an eye. On the day I graduated from the university entrance exam, Trinh's parents, second sister, and eldest sister - who is currently busy running the company - all came to pick me up. The director was also planning to come, but because the children's camp this year accepted more children and was urgently expanding, she couldn't leave, she could only record a congratulatory video and send flowers. I was surrounded by the whole family like a star. The second sister wearing sunglasses, still wearing travel clothes that hadn't changed yet, smiled brightly and hugged my shoulder:
"Let's go, the restaurant is already booked. We must celebrate big today!"
"Oh right, don't you want to travel to the North? Let's leave tomorrow!"
I nodded continuously, but then suddenly saw Chu Kieu Kieu and Chu Tri Tham in the crowd. Chu Kieu Kieu bowed her head in silence, while Chu Tri Tham's face was full of anger, venting his anger on her.
“What good are you? You're such a comet!”
“If it weren't for your good face and the ability to help your married family maintain benefits, my parents and I would have kicked you out of the house long ago!”
“Quickly go home and change, then go meet General Manager Vuong in the west of the city!”
Chu Kieu Kieu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted loudly:
"I won't go! That Vuong has been divorced three times, I absolutely will not marry him!"
Chu Tri Tham turned around and slapped her, his eyes bloodshot:
“The Chu family has raised you well and dressed well for more than ten years, do you think it's free?!”
Chu Tri Tham pulled her away. As he walked, he glanced at me, as if his pride was stabbed, his eyes shyly avoided. In recent years, the Chu family has continuously declined, and is currently close to bankruptcy - even collapsing a few years earlier than in its previous life. As for the Trinh family, under the management of the eldest sister, they have taken a big step forward, leaving Chu Thi far behind. Currently, Chu Tri Tham no longer has any qualifications to act arrogant in front of me. I went out to celebrate with my family, and when I got home in the evening to prepare my luggage to travel, my second sister suddenly came looking for me. She scrolled through her phone and showed it to me, with a gloating look on her face:
"Here's the scoop. Chu Kieu Kieu refused to get married, stole some antique jewelry from the Chu family to sell, then ran away with the money."
“Now the Chu family is in chaos.”
I never made it clear that I was at odds with Chu Kieu Kieu and Chu Tri Tham, but my second sister had seen it for a long time, always paying attention to the situation of the Chu family, whenever there was a joke, she would share it with me first. I just smiled helplessly, glanced at the news, and felt no surprise in my heart. The Chu family always pretends, saying they love them on the outside, but in reality they always push their adopted children to the sidelines. Chu Kieu Kieu is not stupid after all, how could she marry an old man who had been divorced three times for the sake of the Chu family? With Chu Thi's current situation, I'm afraid it will go completely bankrupt in the next few days. I calmed down, after watching the joke, I urged my sister to go to sleep:
“Go to bed quickly, you have an early flight tomorrow morning.”
Trinh An An pretended to be president, with tears in her eyes, blaming me:
“If you use it then throw it away, are you still my sister?”
I looked at her performance, rolled my eyes, and smiled contemptuously:
“If she weren't your sister, when I found out that you were secretly having an affair with my number one enemy, I would have told my parents and eldest sister a long time ago.”
She immediately stopped acting, panicked:
“Shh! This Absolutely do not let them know! You have to keep it a secret for me!”
“I'm going to sleep now!”
She ran away so quickly that I didn't have time to ask carefully. The next morning, when we took our luggage out and were about to tell the driver to take us to the airport, Chu Tri Tham suddenly rushed out from a hidden corner.
“Mong Lan, now only you can save the Chu family. Can you help me?”
I didn't hesitate at all: “No.” Chu Tri Tham was stunned, then his face twisted:
“You didn't even think at all, don't you feel so in love?”
I laughed, my voice cold:
“Absolutely in love? When you left me in the orphanage and called me a poor rat, why didn't you think that you were cruel?"
“I…” He instinctively tried to defend himself, but I lost my patience.
“There's no way I can help you. If you don't go away, I will tell my eldest sister to make Chu go bankrupt even faster."
Chu Tri Tham stood still, looking at me as if looking at a stranger. My second sister couldn't help but reached out and pushed him:
“Look at what? Fuck off!"
“If you really want to save Chu Thi, then go and get married yourself. With this face of yours, maybe it can help your family breathe a few more breaths.”
The second sister's cruel words made Chu Tri Tham's face turn pale. I didn't look any further, pulled my sister into the car and left. What a joke, I helped the Chu family a lot in my previous life, making Chu Tri Tham a young master for a few more years - I don't owe them anything, and there's no reason to help anymore. In this life, I just want to live in the love of my parents and sisters, living my own good life. As for Chu Tri Tham... Even if Chu Thi goes bankrupt and is liquidated in the future, if the whole family goes hungry and has to go out to beg for food, it has nothing to do with me. (Complete)
