Chapter 3 — Reversal of Fate Rebirth

5. Studying at an aristocratic school is sometimes... full of surprises. Sure enough, as soon as school ended, several "hunting dogs" following Giang Thien Tue came to block my path, insisting that I clean the entire bathroom before being allowed to go home. The whole school has twenty toilets. I stood still and looked at them for a moment, then smiled faintly: "That... is the cleaning lady's job, not mine." Lam Cam Khe immediately rushed up, her voice tough: "No way! Today you must clean it up before you can go home, as a punishment for daring to disrespect Thien Tue!" I looked at her, just found it... funny. In the past, I helped her with everything I did, but now? Are you joining Jiang Thien Tue's side to "execute" me? Really... dirty and fake to the end! I ignored it and turned around to leave, but Lam Cam Khe suddenly grabbed my wrist and pushed me hard: "If you don't finish cleaning today, don't leave school!" I immediately looked at the right opportunity, suddenly turned around, kicked my leg hard straight into her lower abdomen. “Aaaahhh —— !!!” A scream tore through the sky, so painful that it shook the entire hallway. That moment was so perfect that even Giang Thien Tue, who had been standing tall and looking down with a faint smile, was now stunned and unable to react. In my heart, I silently praised myself: "Tri Niem, so cool!" On the outside, I was calm as if nothing had happened. I clapped my hands, slung my bag over my shoulder, my voice cold as ice: "I've given back my status as a genius. But... the things I've learned - no one can take them back." Anyway, as the daughter of the Giang family, from the age of seven, I was invited by my master to teach martial arts. Dealing with these people? As gentle as crushing a lac. This whole semester, I almost had to compete with them every day to survive. Finally finishing the final exam, I rewarded myself with a few days of staying at home to relax. But before I could enjoy it for long, my adoptive parents carried a pile of big and small bags and solemnly entered my house... My adoptive parents glanced around this small, narrow room, their eyebrows furrowed, their expression full of hate. Without beating around the bush, he opened his mouth frankly to my biological parents: "We want to welcome Tri Niem back to the Giang family. Anyway... we raised her for many years, now having another child is no problem." The adoptive mother held a tissue and pretended to wipe away some non-existent dust particles, her tone was soft but full of superiority: "That's right. After all, we raised Tri Niem for more than ten years, he has a deeper relationship with us, I really can't bear to leave him. Furthermore, with us, he will have more and better resources, but you guys... can't give him anything." My biological parents have honest personalities, they don't know how to refute, only my third brother, Thanh Mac, was so angry that his face turned red and he roared: "No way! Tri Niem is my sister, we can raise her ourselves!" Hearing that, his adoptive father burst into cold laughter, his voice bitter: "Can you raise him? Do you know that in the past, his cotton blankets were more than ten thousand per pair? Indoor slippers were several thousand per pair? Every meal had chefs flying to all over the country, choosing the ingredients early in the morning, just to serve him one meal!" With every word he uttered, the faces of my parents and my third brother became paler and paler. I took a deep breath and calmed down stood up, suppressed his anger, his voice lowered: "Mr. Giang, I thank you for your good intentions, but now my last name is Tu, and I am no longer a member of the Giang family. I don't mind you two worrying, please go home." My foster father's face darkened, he was upset because I "didn't know what to do". My adoptive mother looked at me, her eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling: "Tri Niem... How could you be so cold and cruel to me? How much your mother and father loved you before, everything that was best for you first..."

“Yes!” — I interrupted, my voice sharp: "You guys really used to pamper me. But that's because I'm excellent! If I'm even a little careless, you'll immediately punish me by kneeling outside the door and starving all night, so that I know I have to be obedient and talented to be worthy of love." For them, love has never been unconditional. They don't love me, they love a perfect, talented Tri Niem that brings them glory.

My adoptive father looked at me, his expression as deep as the bottom of the abyss, leaving a cold sentence: "Just keep your mouth shut... Don't regret it." The door slammed heavily, a "bang" that shook the whole door frame. Only I understand clearly —— They didn't come for love. They came... because a huge profit was waiting for a genius like me to return to the Giang family. 6. The Giang family has a son and two daughters. The eldest brother Giang - a true debauchee, did not study well, drank, smoked, fought, raced... he knew everything, he dared to do anything. Me and him... our feelings are as pale as water. Even when he comes home, he rarely opens his mouth to talk to me. As for her foster sister, Giang So Vu, she is... even more "excellent". I honestly don't know whether to judge her as "love-brained" or an amorous flirt. She was a three-way fish at a time, every time they broke up she cried to death, couldn't swallow rice, couldn't get water into her mouth, it was as if the whole world had abandoned her. I know, the Giang family wants to welcome me back, not because of the intention to pass on the inheritance, and not because of "blood kinship". They need me… because I am a “good assistant”. In the future, as long as I have their back, I can help them deal with the trouble caused by the eldest son. With the Giang family's assets, raising me was as easy as snapping their fingers. They only needed to flick a few coins between their fingers, and they could nurture me into the "sharpest knife" in their hands. But the condition of the exchange is - for the rest of my life, I will have to serve the Giang family. This is a transaction item. For them, it's too good. Merchants —— value profits over emotions. I understand... but in my heart, I still can't help but feel bitter. Anyway... we used to call each other one parent, one daughter.

“Tri Niem, tomorrow my eldest brother and my second brother will go home.” Hearing my mother say that, I gently shook my head, clearing away the confusing thoughts in my head, and secretly looked forward to it.

The next day, before I could wake up, I heard noise and laughter outside. That warm sound... is a feeling I have never experienced when I was at Giang Gia. Second brother Tu Thanh Nho shouted loudly, his voice extremely excited: "This kid! You are so happy! Every day you get to take this beautiful, fragrant sister to school!" Elder Tu Thanh Can immediately frowned and warned in a low voice: "Don't make any noise, your sister is still sleeping!" I walked out of the room, slightly curling the corners of my lips into a gentle smile and eyes lit up: "Eldest brother, second brother, you two are back~" The second brother turned his head, his eyes widened as if about to fall out, shouting loudly: "Oh my god!!! Is this your real sister?! In real life, she's many times prettier than the video!" The eldest brother was much more restrained, just gently rubbing his hand on my head, his voice was low and steady, full of a sense of security. If it weren't for the fact that he always maintained a serious image, he probably would have screamed "Oh my god" with his brother. Really... this house's beauty is so unfair! Each person, one by one, is so beautiful that it's dazzling. Eldest brother Tu Thanh Can wore a coffee brown hoodie, his nose was high and straight, his voice was calm and cold, his whole body exuded a kind of forbidding and aloof aura. The second brother, Tu Thanh Nho, is tall, with broad shoulders, strong muscular arms, and sparkling peach blossom eyes that are extremely attractive. Third brother Tu Thanh Mac... wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, jumping and screaming next to me, just like a... hyperactive monkey. While I still wanted to laugh, my parents brought a table full of food, and the whole family sat down to happily eat. In the middle of the meal, the eldest brother put down his chopsticks, used a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth very elegantly, then took out a bank card from his hoodie pocket and gave it straight to my mother: "Mom, this is the money I invested with my friends and earned. Take it, spend whatever you want, buy whatever my sister wants, don't be sorry." The second brother was eating rice, rummaging around in his pocket, took out a bank card, his mouth was still full of food so he spoke a bit, slurred: "This... is mine... It's the money I earned... running around in the film crew... It's just... not as much as the eldest brother..."
