Chapter 5 — Valedictorian Does Not Accept Mediation

It's just that I'm afraid this matter cannot end so easily. Sure enough, in the evening, when the whole family was at home, there was a "thumping" banging sound at the big door. At first, Tham Thanh Tuyet did not want to open the door. But her father said that everything needs to have an end, otherwise it will just be endless trouble. And their family is the victim, so they have to show an absolutely unreconciled attitude: "Go back to your room, don't let them surround you. This matter will be resolved by your father and mother. If you want to listen, stand upstairs and listen." Dad patted Tham Thanh Tuyet's head, his eyes steady: "Don't worry. No matter what happens, we will always be on your side." Tham Thanh Tuyet nodded, went upstairs and stood at the corner of the stairs, watching her parents open the door. The person who walked in was Lam Hao Vu's family from the house next door: "Brother Tham, sister-in-law, are you both at home? You still come to bother me this late, it's so embarrassing." Lam Hao Vu's mother looked extremely haggard, her eyes were swollen and red like peaches, but she still tried to force a smile to greet her parents. Behind her were the Lam family's father and son, who were silent. Her parents didn't say anything, just leaned over to let the whole family enter. After sitting down on the sofa, the atmosphere sometimes became awkward. No one spoke up. The Lam family, father and son, were as silent as two quails. Lam Hao Vu's mother was clearly extremely restless, her hands constantly rubbing her knees. Seeing that they didn't open their mouths, her parents didn't speak either. Finally, Lam Hao Vu's mother couldn't bear it any longer and asked tentatively: "That... Mr. Tham, sister-in-law, and Tieu Tuyet are at home? I haven't seen her for a few days." "My daughter is very busy. If you have any problems, just tell me and her mother directly." Tham's father was lazy to beat around the bush, directly revealing the purpose of coming here. The heads of the Lam family and their father bowed even lower. Lam Hao Vu's mother looked around, no one was willing to stand up and talk, so she took a deep breath: "Brother Tham, we already know about the miserable things my son did. We didn't raise him well. But can... can we tell Tieu Tuyet to withdraw his application? Tieu Vu is still just a child..." Tham's mother couldn't bear it anymore, her words also began to be impolite: "My daughter is still younger. When her wishes were changed, was she not a child?" Your son is eighteen years old, he's not young anymore, right? My daughter is not yet eighteen." "But hasn't Tieu Tuyet's wish been changed? She hasn't lost anything!" Lam Hao Vu's mother panicked and began to speak without thinking: "Now she can still go to Beijing to study, her future is wide open. And my son is about to go to jail, his whole life will be ruined!" "That's because of his wish My daughter's problem was fixed thanks to luck when she discovered it early, luckily our house had just installed a camera, recording everything your son said, luckily your son was the one who couldn't keep things to himself! Hao Vu said with trembling lips: "I know our family is at fault with Tieu Tuyet. But out of respect for the two families who have known each other for many years..." "Since you learned that your son intentionally changed my daughter's wishes, but still came to our house to beg us to withdraw the application, the relationship between our two families has completely ended." stay back to study, why don't you see that he cares about the relationship between the two families?" At this time, Lam Hao Vu's father had been silent for a long time.

As he entered the door, he finally spoke: "Old Tham, this is our family's fault with you. But we really have no choice. I can't watch my son go to jail. Please tell me a number. Even if I have to break the pot and sell the iron, I will still pay, as long as you can withdraw the petition." "Uncle, aunt." Tham Thanh Tuyet walked out from the corner of the second floor, standing up there looking at the people downstairs. The people downstairs also raised their heads to look at her: "Tieu Tuyet..." "If today's incident happened to your family, the person who changed my son's wish from Peking University to college was you, would you agree to withdraw the application?" The Lam family's parents immediately became speechless. At this time, Lam Hao Vu had been silent for a long time before raising his head, his red eyes looking at Tham Thanh Tuyet standing on the floor: "Tham Thanh Tuyet, I was just confused for a moment. Now I know it was wrong. Do you have to do everything so heartless?" Looking at his still unrepentant appearance, Tham Thanh Tuyet burst out laughing: "Lam Hao Vu, have you acted enough? Do you really know you're wrong? You only know you're about to die, about to die. Just pay the price.” “While saying that I did everything too heartlessly, did you ever think that when you changed my wishes, you didn't intend to leave a way out for me?”
