Chapter 7 — Thien Kim Wants a Sister

"The son who was cherished by the Chu family since childhood had to go to the police station because of you. What else do you want?" Co Thu Thu took a deep breath. "I'm not correcting." "Thu Thu!" "It was Chu Tu Xuyen who ruined his life, not me." After saying this, her face was still pale but her eyes did not hide. Mrs. Chu left angrily. After the door closed, Co Thu Thu's legs felt weak and she almost fell to the ground. I caught her. She squeezed my arm tightly, tears kept falling, but the corners of her lips slowly curled up. "Sister, I can say it." "Yes." "This is the first time I've refused her." "How does it feel?" She thought. "Fear." "What else?" "Very refreshing." 7 Co Thu Thu lived in the Bui family for half a month. She still instinctively cares about everyone's feelings, but has begun to learn how to say "I agree" and "I disagree." Her third brother told her to watch the racing, but she spoke too loudly. Her brother gave her an expensive evening dress, she said she didn't like the color. The eldest brother asked her if she wanted to go to Bui Thi to work. She shook her head and said she hadn't finished thinking yet. After each refusal, she secretly observed our reactions. Realizing that no one was angry because of that, the light in her eyes became a little brighter. Until I discovered a sketchbook in the secret compartment of her suitcase. Inside are all fashion designs. Some drawings are still immature, probably drawn many years ago. Later works became more and more mature. The last page is a long red dress. The skirt of the dress resembles burning feathers, and the waist is embroidered with stars. There was a small line written next to it: "For the younger sister who never appeared." I held the drawing book and went to find her. "Explain." Co Thu Thu's face immediately turned red and she reached out to snatch it back. "Just drawing haphazardly." I raised the notebook over my head. "Drawing haphazardly for ten years?" She couldn't win it, she could only admit. "When I was little, I wanted to study fashion design." "What happened after that?" "Dad said that's not worrying about doing things properly." Hoang, the Chu family doesn't like it either." "Do you like it?" She looked at the red dress, her eyes gradually became softer. "Like it." "Then learn." She smiled bitterly: "You're twenty years old, and you've never studied systematically, how can it be that easy?" That very day, I contacted a professor at Central Saint Martins. No need to go through the back door to get accepted. It's about asking the other person to evaluate her work and make a study plan for her. After looking at the drawing, the professor only replied with four words: "Tell her to come." When she heard the news, Co Thu Thu did not react for a long time. "Can you really?" "The professor said you can." "But going abroad requires a lot of money." "Bui Thi has a scholarship for young designers. As long as you pass the exam, you will receive it." "What if you don't pass?" "Then continue studying, take the exam until you pass." I don't. Giving her a bank card doesn't buy her a complete future. What she needs is not someone else making decisions for her. It's an opportunity she can take with her own hands. A month later, she passed the scholarship exam. Total score ranked first. On the day the results were announced, Co Thi went one step ahead and posted a statement online. They said that Co Thu Thu was ungrateful and ungrateful, because she wanted to cling to the Bui family, she did not hesitate to slander her adoptive parents, and maliciously appropriated the shares that Co's grandmother left behind. The Chu family immediately followed. Chu Tu Xuyen's lawyer said there was a "serious misunderstanding" about the fake agreement, and the two sides were just joking between lovers. Very quickly, a large number of accounts began to attack Co Thu Thu. Someone scolded her for being a fake angel taking over the bird's nest

guest. Some people said that the Co family had raised her for twenty years, even if she used her life to repay it, it wouldn't be too much. Some people even dug up information that she was going abroad, slandering her by trying to please me to swindle the Bui family's sponsorship money. Her designs were posted online, mocked as not worth a dime. Co Thu Thu locked herself in her room. I knocked on the door, but she refused to open it. “Sister, leave me alone for a moment.” “Okay.” I didn't try to barge in. Half an hour later, she proactively walked out. Her eyes were very red, but she was holding the phone in her hand. "I want to respond." "Have you thought about it carefully?" "Have thought about it carefully." This was the first time she told about her life in front of the camera. Don't cry or cry, don't try to be pitiful. She presented the fake contract appraisal report, the police case receipt, Co's grandmother's will, and the Co family's text messages asking her to comply with the marriage contract over the years. At the end of the video, she calmly said: "The Co family's nurturing kindness, I will repay it legally and reasonably." "But the favor is not a bond, much less a license for anyone to control my life." "My name is Co Thu Thu." "I am not a commodity of the Co family, nor a dependent of Chu Tu Xuyen."
