Chapter 5 — Step by Step Take Me to Hell

14 At this time, Cao Tieu Vi was finally released. She was still wearing yesterday's sixty thousand yuan dress, but after one night, her delicate bun and makeup were messed up, her face was haggard, her face was ashen - she looked like a ghost. Right behind her is Lam Than Duong. Next to them, the female police officer said in a serious voice: "We asked clearly, Cao Tieu Vi admitted that all actions between her and Lam Than Duong were voluntary, there was no coercion. Of course, summoning Lam Than Duong to question is a normal procedure, we hope the parents will understand. Now the matter is clear, please sign for both parties and then you can leave." Cao Tieu Vi's mother heard that and breathed a sigh of relief, while Lam's mother stared fiercely at Cao Tieu Vi. She did not explode on the spot, just quietly signed her name to the police. I stood in the crowd, eyes full of interest, observing Cao Tieu Vi. Even though she tried to explain to defend Lam Than Duong and admit all the blame, at this point she had completely offended the Lam family. I know, right now she is definitely scared to death. Sure enough, as soon as he left the station, Cao Tieu Vi pretended not to see Lam's mother's knife-like eyes and quickly grabbed me: "Chi Chi, I'm a bit shocked... will you take me home?" "Go home?" She kept nodding. I pushed her hand away: "Tieu Vi, when you're older, you should speak properly. It's my house, not yours." Cao Tieu Vi's pupils immediately dilated, not daring to believe what I just said. "Than Duong," Lam's mother suddenly spoke, "after all, you are a boy, when something like this happens, you have to be responsible. I think... we should invite Ms. Cao to our house to play, as an apology." Her voice was calm, but her eyes were so cruel that they were about to spill out. Cao Tieu Vi and I both understand very well what "come home" means in Lam's mother's mouth. Cao Tieu Vi quickly shook her head and shouted: "No! I'm not going! I'm not going anywhere!" But reality does not allow her to choose. The Lam family's bodyguards immediately grabbed her on both sides and dragged her towards the car. Lam's mother blocked Cao Tieu Vi's mother's path: "If you do this, it means you are in love. Go to your boyfriend's house to visit, you don't need to worry." Then the Lam family took Cao Tieu Vi away, and the car left the station gate. I happily stood and watched the car's shadow fade away. Lam's mother was famous for her toughness and had personally dealt with several of her husband's mistresses, and none of them had a good ending. Cao Tieu Vi... this time, you're going to suffer. 15 When I was about to get in the car, Cao Tieu Vi's mother, with a panicked look on her face, tried to follow, but the driver stopped me. I smiled and said: "Uncle, you have worked hard at my house these past few years. I have transferred this month's salary to your card, along with a separate thank you from me. You and your mother's belongings are at my house, I have them packed and sent to your house in the south of the city." Having finished speaking, without giving her time to react, I closed the car door. The "south of the city" place I mentioned - is where Cao Tieu Vi's father lives. In the past, I pitied Cao Tieu Vi for having to live with such an irresponsible father, so I asked my parents to take her into my house to live with me. Unexpectedly, what I thought was an act of kindness, in her eyes, turned into me seeing her as just a shadow in the background. Well then... with that in mind, let's return to our proper place. My parents came home and saw Cao Tieu Vi and her mother were both gone, so they were surprised and asked what happened. I told them everything - from the incident at the prom where Cao Tieu Vi arranged for her cousin to secretly take photos of me, to the story about her father barging into the house in the middle of the night. After hearing that, my mother thought about how I was almost photographed naked and was extremely scared: "Oh my God, if our Chi Chi hadn't been alert, what would we do now?" My father quickly asked: "That guy named Cao came into the house, did he do anything to you? Why didn't you call me when you encountered such a big problem?" I smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I have a coach and driver to help me, I'm not hurt at all." My father was relieved at this moment, but his face gradually became serious, full of disappointment and heartache: "We didn't treat Tieu Vi badly, how could he do that to you?" My mother was also angry, saying that she couldn't just chase her away, she must be held responsible. I raised my hand to stop: "There's no need for us to take action." 16 A week later, I heard the news - in the middle of the night, Cao Tieu Vi suddenly appeared in front of the school gate, her body covered with wounds of different sizes: some were beaten by whips, some were burns, some were cut by sharp objects... Furthermore, she was drunk and fell asleep right there. If the school security hadn't discovered it in time, it would have been "picked up" by some wandering guys passing by. Then the rumors started — that every night before that, Cao Tieu Vi went to bars, got extremely drunk, and flirted with all kinds of men. Some classmates even have photos taken on their phones. She had just graduated, her reputation was completely ruined. It is said that since she and her mother returned to live with her biological father, she has been beaten and cursed every day, and life is more miserable than death. Every time he intended to leave, Cao Dai Cuong immediately beat him to a pulp. Her eighteenth birthday passed quickly under such circumstances. After three years of living in luxury, being respected by everyone as a young lady, now having to endure a life in a dirty, shabby slum, and being abused by her own father - how can Cao Tieu Vi endure it? That day, she stopped my car outside the villa. At that time, I was preparing to go with my mother to a charity party. As soon as my mother saw Cao Tieu Vi, she was angry. I immediately reassured her: "Mom, things have come to this, what else do you say to her? Let me speak." My mother looked at Cao Tieu Vi's dark face outside the car, clearly worried: "For the past three years, you have treated her like your own sister. Have you ever treated her badly? Now she dares to come to us... watch out for some bad plans." I gently pointed towards the gate guard, signaling my mother to rest assured. Actually, I know Cao Tieu Vi won't do anything to me — at least not yet. Because, what she wanted most right now was to see me receive the acceptance notice with her own eyes, and then was driven crazy by that shock. I got out of the car and leisurely approached. Cao Tieu Vi's eyes were full of hatred. In just two short weeks, she was completely different from before. "Du Chi Chi, is it you?! That day in the car, you deliberately lured me into saying those words, then reported it to the police, and falsely accused me of the crime!" 17 "I seduced you? Is that what happened?" I covered my mouth with my hand, deliberately using an exaggerated tone to ask back. “Could it be that… it wasn't Lam Than Duong that threatened you Did you really seduce him?” Cao Tieu Vi was speechless, his facial muscles twitched continuously. I smiled coldly: "Why are you looking for me? I've already paid for your belongings and your mother's salary."

“Why!” Cao Tieu Vi suddenly screamed, her face became fierce: "Du Chi Chi, why! Didn't you say you would consider me your biological sister?"

Brother? This Cao Tieu Vi... dares to open his mouth and say that? I curled my lips and smiled contemptuously: "I'm sorry, I just suddenly felt... you weren't worthy."

“Du Chi Chi, you are so lucky! But he just knows how to choose the right mother's womb to reincarnate! Besides my background, I'm no worse than you—" I interrupted: "I don't just know how to 'choose my mother's womb'. I'm even more beautiful than you, at least I don't lower myself to seduce men. And I'm smarter than you — my college entrance exam score is two hundred points higher than yours.”

Cao Tieu Vi was furious, but unfortunately what I said was true, she couldn't refute it. She gritted her teeth: “So what if you get a high score? One day you will have to cry!” I frowned and asked directly what that sentence meant. Seeing that I didn't understand, Cao Tieu Vi seemed to have found an opportunity to turn the tables and immediately looked proud: "Do you think you will definitely pass Bac Dai? In this world, nothing can be changed." Behind me, a car horn sounded softly — my mother was urging me. Seeing me about to turn around and get in the car, Cao Tieu Vi quickly said: "Du Chi Chi, do you dare to bet with me?" “What fish?” “Bet you won't be accepted by the North!” I raised my eyebrows: "So what's the bet?" Her jealousy finally came out, her voice was cruel: "If you fail, then give me five million, and you also have to take off your clothes and run around the school, shouting that you are a coward and a bitch!" Hmm... five million, she still dares to open her mouth to ask for it.
