Chapter 3 — Welcome Back Chu Niem

“Giai Ky is such a good girl, how did she meet such a cruel sister-in-law!” Her cries were sharp and shrill. At this moment, a weak voice came from the spare bedroom. “Brother… mother…” It was Hua Giai Ky. “What are you guys arguing about out there?” The air in the living room immediately froze. Hua Chi An's body stiffened. Trieu Xuan Mai's cries also fell silent. The person they don't want to alarm the most will still be alarmed in the end. A look of panic flashed across Hua Chi An's face. He let go of my phone, turned around and wanted to go towards the spare bedroom. “Giai Ky, it's okay, rest well.” But I was already one step ahead of him, blocking the door to the spare bedroom. I looked at him, also looked at Trieu Xuan Mai. “What's wrong, don't you dare let her know the truth?” “Don't you dare let her know that her dearest brother, for the sake of his future, intends to throw her to me as a burden?” "Don't you dare let her know, you two are the ones who are trying to coerce me?" Hua Chi An's face was extremely unsightly. "Chu Niem! Shut up!" He growled low, his eyes filled with blood. "Do you have to make this house so that the chickens fly and the dogs bark before you accept it?" I looked at his angry, out-of-control appearance and suddenly felt very funny. “The person who makes the chickens fly and the dogs bark in this house is you, Hua Chi An.” "From the moment I decided to take care of you, this house was no longer peaceful." I pulled open the door to the spare bedroom and entered. Hua Chi An and Trieu Xuan Mai followed behind me, their faces full of fear and insecurity. Hua Giai Ky lay on the bed, her face even whiter than yesterday. Hearing the movement, she struggled to raise her head. "Sister-in-law? Brother? Mother?" Her voice carried confusion and insecurity. Trieu Xuan Mai immediately rushed forward and grabbed Hua Giai Ky's hand. Tears are coming. “My good daughter, you are awake.” "How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?" She acted very soulfully, as if the person who just threw a tantrum was not her. Hua Chi An also came over, trying to look concerned. “Giai Ky, don't be afraid, I'm here.” The two of them, one left and one right, surrounded Hua Giai Ky in the middle. Creates an illusion of family harmony, deep brotherly love. And I, the "evil" person, stood a few steps away, looking coldly. Hua Giai Ky looked at them, then looked at the suitcase next to my feet. She's not stupid, she guessed roughly. Her eye sockets also turned red. “Brother, sister-in-law, is everyone arguing because of me?” She looked towards me, pleading in her eyes. “Sister-in-law, am I causing trouble for you?” “Sorry, I didn't mean it.” "Don't be angry with me, don't go, okay?" She said and tears fell. That pitiful appearance is enough to make anyone's heart soften. If I really leave today, in the mouth of the Hua family, I will turn into a single woman who hates her paralyzed brother-in-law, forces her husband to leave, and abandons the family. Hua Chi An immediately responded. “Giai Ky, don't think about nonsense.” "My sister-in-law is just... just that work isn't going well and she's a little angry." He is still painting peace, still digging a hole for me. He wanted to take advantage of Hua Giai Ky's tears to kidnap my morals. Trieu Xuan Mai also chimed in. "That's right Giai Ky, your sister-in-law was just thinking for a moment." "If you're a family, there's no reason to stay overnight." “Your sister-in-law loves you the most, how can she not take care of you?” One sentence from them, one sentence from us, pushing all the pressure towards me. It's like if I just say the word "no", I'm committing a heinous crime. I looked at Hua Giai Ky crying on the hospital bed. Look at her face that looks so much like Hua Chi An. I suddenly opened my mouth, my voice was calm without any ripples. “Hua Giai Ky, don't cry.” “I'm not angry with your brother, nor did I say I would ignore you.” My words stunned all three members of the Hua family. There was even a flicker of joy in Hua Chi An's eyes. He thought I had compromised. I walked to the bed, looked into Hua Giai Ky's eyes, and continued word by word. “I'm just giving your brother a choice.” “You encounter such a big problem, the person who should be most responsible, should take care of you the most, is him, your biological brother.” “But now, because of my job, you

He had to go somewhere else for three years.” “He wanted me to give up my career, my life, and stay here to take care of you for three years.” “Do you think that's fair?” Hua Giai Ky's crying stopped. She looked at me bewildered, then looked at Hua Chi An incredulously. “You? You have to go somewhere else for three years?” Hua Chi An's face immediately became extremely embarrassed. “You… the company arranged…” I finished for him. “Half a month ago he received the notice.” “But he always hid it, until yesterday when he brought you home, then he told me today.” “He assured me he would personally take care of you, but turned around and threw this messy situation to me.” “Hua Giai Ky, you are also an adult, please try to judge.” “Whose fault is this anyway?” “Who exactly is causing chaos in this house?” I kicked the question back at them like a soccer ball. Hua Giai Ky's lips trembled, speechless. Trieu Xuan Mai was impatient.
