Chapter 10 — Trong Was Born At Eighteen Years Old: This Time I Didn't Marry Truc Ma

My father couldn't listen any more.

"Just because of the pictures, do you have to make your relationship like this?"

"Dad and Uncle Chau have worked together for more than ten years."

"Relatives and friends have all reported it."

"The hotel deposit is also paid."

"Now when you say cancel, cancel."

"How do you tell the two of us to talk?"

I looked at the stack of hotel bills on the table.

"How much does my family have to bear..."

"I'll pay for it myself later."

My father was so angry that he burst out laughing.

"What will you pay me for?"

"Do you think you can support yourself just by painting a few pictures?"

"Nam Dinh's tuition, dormitory fee, material fee..."

"Have you calculated?"

"I figured it out."

"You've figured it out but still dare to go?"

He looked straight at me and slowly said each word:

"If you still insist on going to Nam Dinh..."

"Dad won't give me any money."

My mother's expression immediately changed.

"Don't speak in anger."

"I'm not angry at all."

Dad turned to look at Mom.

"Doesn't he always think he's grown up?"

"Then let him take responsibility for himself."

"I also want to see, I don't have the family's money..."

"It can stay in the South for a few days."

The anger in Chau Nghien Xuyen's eyes gradually subsided. He thought my father had grasped my greatest weakness. In my previous life... I was indeed afraid. Studying fine arts is very expensive. The cost of living in Nam Dinh is also much higher than back home. I don't have a job. The amount of money on hand is not enough to pay the first year's tuition. I won't stay again. Ba walked to the front of the desk and reached out to close my computer.

"Now delete the notice of annulment immediately."

"Tomorrow, Dad will come to school to ask about wishes."

"As for 《Little Light in the Old Town》, it will be restored to Nghien Xuyen."

"As long as you admit your mistakes..."

"What happened today is as if it never happened."

I opened the computer again.

"It can't be pretended it never happened."

Dad reached out to grab it. I hugged the computer and took a step back to the wall.

"This is my stuff."

"Everything I have is bought with my dad's money!"

"This computer..."

"I used the prize money from last year's competition to buy it."

The third hand stopped in mid-air. He had forgotten. Since I was 12 years old, I started participating in painting competitions. Big or small, they have won many awards. But that money... Most of it was used by me to buy materials to make a model for Chau Nghien Xuyen. This computer... Is the only thing I bought for myself. Dad's face became more and more ugly.

"Where is the ID card and exam notice?"

My heart suddenly sank. He turned and opened the drawer under the desk. Including capital for identification, bank cards and all aptitude test documents. The first two are still there. But the file bag was empty. Before going to the drawing room yesterday... I photocopied all important documents into two copies. One copy is saved on the hard drive. One copy was sent to Ms. Trinh Thanh Lam. Dad picked up my ID card.

"When will I think it through..."

"Then come find dad and get it back."

I don't prevent it. Tham Man Nhu slightly frowned.

"Mr. Lam, don't do that."

"She's just angry."

"Give me my papers back first."

Dad is still cold.

"It's because your family keeps spoiling it..."

"So now he dares to be so stubborn."

Tham Man Nhu sighed and walked in front of me.

"Van Kieu."

"Listen aunty Chau said a word."

"It's not that you can't go to Nam Dinh."

"But it's not worth giving up the engagement because of Duong An and then causing tension with the whole family."

"Nghien Xuyen promised aunt."

"From now on, I won't give her my work anymore."

"After you two got engaged..."

"I won't let them go out alone either."

I looked at Chau Nghien Xuyen. He didn't deny it at all. He even frowned slightly, as if he had just accepted a huge sacrifice.

"Since when did I agree to that?"

Tham Man Nhu immediately turned her head to glare at him.

"Do you still want to get engaged?"

Chau Nghien Xuyen was silent for a few seconds. Finally just replied:

"I will pay attention."

Those four words again. I suddenly felt extremely tired.

"Will Duong An leave him or not..."

"It has nothing to do with you."

"I annul the engagement..."

"It's not for people to control him."

"I don't want to marry him anymore."

Finally, a crack appeared in the patience in Tham Man Nhu's eyes.

"Van Kieu."

"You're still young."

"Suffering just a little self-pity in love makes it seem like the sky is about to collapse."
