Chapter 8 — Trong Was Born At Eighteen Years Old: This Time I Didn't Marry Truc Ma

Reading those messages... I suddenly remembered my past life. Every time Duong An exceeds the limit... The person who is advised to restrain is always me. She's not easy. She is sensitive. Her family is not well off. She only has Chau Nghien Xuyen. There is an engagement. There is recognition from the Chau family. I have more than her. I have to give her my share over and over again. Those things don't fall from the sky. My achievements are exchanged for countless sleepless nights. My work is each stroke of a honed pen. As for that engagement... It's not even something I need someone else to bestow or compensate for. I don't argue in groups. Only send three photos. The first photo is the winning announcement of 《Migratory Bird Season》 two years ago. The second image is the names of two layers restored in Duong An's file. The third photo is the school's official appraisal results. In the end, I just wrote one more sentence. 【The dispute over the work is only related to the truth during the creation process, and is completely unrelated to any personal relationship.】 After sending, I immediately left the chat group. 10 minutes later. Chau Nghien Xuyen called.

"Why did you post appraisal documents to the group?"

"Because someone asked."

"Duong An is already heartbroken enough."

"Then don't let others spread false news."

"It wasn't her who posted."

"How do you know?"

Chau Nghien Xuyen paused for a moment.

"The photo was taken by a friend of hers."

"The chat was also screenshotted by someone else."

"She's in a very unstable mood now. Don't provoke her anymore."

I leaned back in the chair.

"I called you..."

"Just to talk about these things?"

"I want you to delete those three photos."

"Based on what?"

"The school has already handled it."

"There's no need for the whole class to know."

"So what about those photos?"

"Have you deleted it yet?"

Chau Nghien Xuyen did not answer. Those photos make Duong An look both beautiful and fragile. It also makes him appear gentle and in love. He couldn't bear to delete it. I waited a few seconds then calmly said:

"If you could post pictures..."

"Then you also have the right to post evidence."

"Lam Van Kieu."

Chau Nghien Xuyen's voice became lower.

"Do you have to make our story known to the whole school?"

"I corrected it."

"That's your business."

"It's none of our business."

"We'll be engaged in 9 days."

"There will be no engagement."

"How long do you want to cause trouble?"

I laughed softly.

"Chau Nghien Xuyen."

"Finally..."

"Who is causing trouble?"

"You give my work to Duong An."

"She used it, then had her status revoked by the school."

"You guys never explained the work..."

"And posting a photo to imply that I hate you because I can't love."

"Now you want me to erase the evidence too."

"If I just don't clean up the mess for you guys..."

"So the one who causes trouble will always be me?"

The other end of the line was silent for a long time. After a while, Chau Nghien Xuyen lowered his voice:

"I will publicly announce that the engagement is still going on."

"No one will say I'm jealous anymore."

I stopped. Right after that, I almost burst out laughing. Until now... He still thinks that I need to rely on this marriage contract to prove that I am the winner.

"No need."

"I won't get engaged to you."

"Someone else what do you want to say..."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Chau Nghien Xuyen's breathing became heavier.

"Don't let yourself regret it later."

"It won't."

I hung up. The next morning, Chau Nghien Xuyen actually posted an article. 【The dispute related to the graduation work has been handled by the school, and is completely unrelated to personal feelings. Lam Van Kieu and I have known each other since childhood, the relationship between our two families is still very good, the engagement ceremony will take place as planned. I hope everyone doesn't over-interpret it.】 Someone quickly commented below. 【It turns out we're really about to get engaged.】 【So what is Duong An?】 【In the end, Lam Van Kieu is still the winner.】 Chau Nghien Xuyen did not respond to any comments. Maybe he thinks... Just posting this article will save enough face for me. Tham Man Nhu also specially called.

"Van Kieu, have you seen Nghien Xuyen's post?"

"He still cares a lot about me."

"Since childhood, he has not liked to reveal things like this in front of others. This time, admitting the engagement in front of everyone was very difficult."

I turned that page off.

"I will post an annulment notice."

The other end of the line immediately fell silent.

"Van Kieu, don't get excited."

"Now everyone in school knows you two are getting engaged."

"If we cancel our marriage at this time, how will others view our two families?"
