Chapter 9 — Thien Kim Wants a Sister

Even the luxury car she received when she was eighteen was always registered in Co Thua Vu's name. The actual reasonable expenses incurred for her were less than one-tenth of the declared amount. Our lawyer does not deny the nurturing efforts of the Co family. He just submitted another document to the court. Twenty years ago, the children of two families were mistakenly carried at the same private hospital. When Co Thu Thu was three years old, the Co family discovered that her blood type did not match her parents', but did not continue to investigate. When she was twelve years old, Co Chan Hai got sick and needed a compatibility test to confirm again that she was not related by blood to the Co family. But it wasn't until Bui Thi needed a project south of the city that the Co family looked for their biological daughter. In other words, they had known for a long time that they were carrying the wrong thing. But because they wanted to maintain their engagement with the Chu family, they chose to continue making mistakes. More ironically, the hospital's compensation of two million yuan in the past was transferred entirely to Co Chan Hai's personal account. The verdict was not announced immediately at the trial. When she walked out of the court, Ms. Co chased after her. "Thu Thu." She did not call Ms. Co, nor did she force her to take care of her. She just brought an old paper box. Inside is a small pink dress. The needlework was crooked, and two butterflies were embroidered on the hem of the dress. "This is the dress I made myself when you were little." Mrs. Co's tears fell. "Later, when the family had money, I always thought to give you the most expensive things, but forgot to ask if you liked it or not." "I really loved you." Co Thu Thu caressed the hem of her dress, saying nothing. "Can you call me one more time?" She was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly. "I believe you used to love me." love you." "But love cannot erase the hurt." "I also don't want to continue to use the past to bind me." She took the dress. "I will keep this, everything else stops here." Mrs. Co nodded while crying. A month later, the court rejected the Co family's unreasonably high compensation claim. After conciliation, Co Thu Thu proactively reimbursed reasonable child care expenses that were confirmed by the audit. She doesn't use my money. She sold five percent of Co Thi's shares to a third party, used part of the money to repay expenses, and used the rest to establish a charity fund to help young girls who were forced by their families and controlled by their assets. Co Thi lost the support of important shareholders and was eventually acquired by a company in the same industry. Co Chan Hai from chairman of the board of directors became an ordinary shareholder. Co Thua Vu was also removed by the board of directors. All debts have been clearly calculated here. One day before going abroad, Co Thu Thu went into the kitchen by herself. She made Coca chicken wings, sweet and sour ribs, and tomato beef stew. The three brothers sat at the dining table, no one dared to move their chopsticks first. I picked up the largest chicken wing into the bowl and proudly declared: "My sister made it for me, you guys can't take it away." Bui Da coldly said: "Children." The next second, while I wasn't paying attention, he picked up a piece of rib. I chased him running three times around the living room. Co Thu Thu stood in the dining room, laughing so much that she couldn't stand up straight. 10The day we left for the airport, everyone arrived. The adoptive mother stuffed five pounds of hot pot spices into Co Thu Thu's suitcase. My father prepared a whole set of safety plans for her abroad. The eldest brother gave her a business card and said that if he had any legal problems, he could call. The second brother contacted her to help her find an office in London. Third brother was the most direct, giving her a self-defense spray. I don't give anything. Co Thu Thu deliberately asked: "Sister, where is my gift?" "What do you want?" Her

extended her arms towards me. “Hug.” I walked over and hugged her. There was a very faint scent of gardenia on her, just like the first time we met. At that time, she sat on the Co family's sofa, holding a cup of tea, carefully observing everyone's faces. Currently, she's wearing a red dress she designed herself, her spine straight, her eyes bright. "Sister, after going abroad, you can't just eat bread." "Okay." "If someone bullies you, first report to the police, then call me." "Okay." "Don't stay in an unsafe place just to save money." "The scholarship money is enough." "Don't just think about taking care of others all the time." She laughed: "Try." Niem Tinh, why are you so long-winded than me?" I sniffed. "Then go." She didn't move. "Let me go first." Only then did I realize that I was still hugging her. "Hold on for one more minute." The announcement began reminding passengers to get on the plane. She gently patted my back, just like the first night she cooked for me. "Sister, thank you." "Thank you for what?" "Thank you for helping me understand that family members don't just say what's best for you, then decide everything for you." "Family people are the ones who, when they see that I want to fly, will open the door for me." My nose stings. "Stop being so wet, go quickly."
