Chapter 2 — Thien Kim Really Doesn't Listen to Comments

“You're not burned, are you?” I leaned away from his touch. Lam Dien's lips pursed tightly. In the evening, I went to the library to find my father, saying that I couldn't keep up with the teaching progress of this school and wanted to change to another school. Dad knew what happened that afternoon, probably thinking that I didn't want to go to the same school as Lam Chi. He sighed, took out a file from the drawer and pushed it in front of me. I bowed my head and turned to look. It was a share transfer agreement, fifteen percent of the shares of a subsidiary under the Lam family, calculated at the market price of about thirty million. "You don't need to rush to sign, just look at it first. I know you've suffered a lot of pain. Giving you more money in the family won't make up for those years." He took off the pen cap and put it back on again, repeating it a few times, his voice becoming heavy. "But I guarantee, in the future I won't let you bear half more than that." I looked at him for a few seconds, put the agreement away. "Thank you, dad." He breathed a sigh of relief and asked again about school. I said I wanted to transfer to Thanh Nam International High School, a little farther from home, but the teaching quality was good. Dad didn't say a word and immediately called to make arrangements. The following days, I left early and came home late, obedient and attentive to the Lam family, but still not close. Maybe they were a bit impatient, the gifts kept coming into my room one after another. I looked at Lam Chi's increasingly hateful expression and without expression closed the door. Lam Chi recuperated for a few days, ignored his mother's advice, and resolutely returned to school. Just after ten o'clock in the morning, I received a phone call from my mother, her voice was extremely panicked. "Niem Niem, something happened to Chi Chi, she's at the police station. They said you also have to come over." I hung up the phone, a bit surprised that in this life, Lam Chi lost his temper so quickly. In the police station, the air conditioner was turned on very strongly. Lam Chi sat on a bench, wearing the uniform of a female police officer. The inside collar of the uniform was torn in a large area. She hugged her knees, a few red streaks showing on her shoulders. Seeing my parents push the door open, tears immediately flowed out. "Mom..." Her voice trembled until she couldn't make a sound. Mom rushed to hug her. Dad's face darkened and he asked the police what happened. The police opened the report to record their statements. "These students have already confessed. Someone paid them to stop Lam Chi at school. They said..." The police looked at my parents. "Say that the daughter has just been accepted into the family arranged by her grandparents." Lam Chi cried until she couldn't breathe, and even reached out to pull my mother's sleeve. "Mom, don't blame me. Maybe I just couldn't think straight for a while. I've suffered so much, it's normal to have hatred in my heart..." "It's done, it's done, it's done!" "Baby, quickly say you didn't do it! There's still time for you to be stubborn!" In my previous life, Lam Chi also slandered me like that. Before I could even justify myself, I was slapped. I cried and rioted to explain. No one believes it. They thought that a girl like Lam Chi would not use her innocence to slander me. They said I had a cruel heart and cut off all ties with me. But in this life... Mom looked at me, with a little pleading in her eyes. "Nim Niem..." She knew I didn't study at Lam Chi's school at all. But she didn't want me to make a big deal out of it. I looked into my mother's eyes. She opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything more. But I still did as they wanted, telling Lam Chi: "Chi Chi, let's go home. I can pretend this never happened." Dad nodded at me, both happy and guilty. Lam Chi's tears were still falling, his shoulders were shaking intermittently. It seemed like she was a bit surprised that I said that, and she took half a second to react

again. "Sister, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. Let's keep it that way. I know in your heart you hate me, because I took away your life. If you feel like doing so can relieve your anger, I can bear it..." Lam Dien frowned, pulled Lam Chi's hand, wanting her to stop talking. Lam Chi didn't understand why they had this reaction. He was somewhat panicked and pointed at a few blond-haired thugs squatting in the corner of the wall, holding their heads. Her tears fell to the ground. "Do you think I'm slandering her? I'm a girl! Is there any girl who would use her innocence to slander others? Moreover, those thugs have already admitted it!" Hearing the exact same words in my previous life, I couldn't help but want to laugh. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lam Chi's crying increased a notch. "I have already agreed not to prosecute, but everyone still refuses to believe me! It is impossible to be biased to this extent because Niem Niem is a biological child!" As soon as the three words "biological child" were uttered, the expressions of both parents and Lam Dien changed. Those three words are like slapping them in the face. Finally, for the first time, they realized that because of their enemy's daughter, they had always caused their blood and flesh to suffer.
