Chapter 1 — Wife Is Your Destiny

In my hometown, I am peacefully raising chickens. Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck me - I was informed that I was the "long-lost biological daughter" of the most powerful Kieu family in Beijing's upper class. However, after being picked up and brought back to Beijing, I was arranged to stay temporarily at the Hoa family's house. There are people in the house who intentionally cause trouble and find trouble. I just had to muster up all my courage and texted my brother's best friend to ask for help. 【Brother, may I ask… can I drink… your milk…@?】 Hoa Chau Can was silent for a long time. 【?】 【Who are you?】 I trembled as I typed each word, carefully answering: 【I... am Kieu Xuyen Dich's sister.】 I was a bit embarrassed. That message just now... it's really easy for people to misunderstand. Initially, I just intended to ask Hoa Chau Can if the milk in the refrigerator was drinkable. But the touch screen in the keyboard area of the old phone was paralyzed, and before I finished typing, I unconsciously pressed send... I bought the old phone for 250 yuan, looks like I'll have to exchange it TvT. This time, Hoa Chau Can answered very quickly: 【Kieu Hue? Sorry, I must have forgotten to take notes the last time I made friends.】 I felt embarrassed, sent back a nod emoji in response, then simply explained the previous message. Thinking carefully, when we became friends, it was normal that he forgot to write down my name — because when I was picked up in Beijing, the whole family flew abroad to travel. Because I didn't have a passport, I was left alone, temporarily staying with the Hoa family. The next night. My period came earlier than expected, so I went to the kitchen at midnight to cook some red sugar water to ease the pain. The stomach ache was so bad that my hands trembled and I accidentally dropped both the pot and the bowl to the ground. I sat down, clutching my stomach. It took a long time to calm down. After that, I texted Hoa Chau Can's WeChat number from my brother, intending to apologize and compensate. The moment the friend request was accepted, a low male voice suddenly rang out behind me, carrying a suspicious look: "Kieu Hue. What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?" I raised my head in surprise, my eyes blurred with tears, dew still lingering at the corners of my eyelids. Trying to force a smile: "Sorry... I accidentally broke your bowl." Hoa Chau Can just replied softly, in a calm voice: "It's okay." He glanced at the pile of debris on the ground, then raised his head and stared at me twice more. Say nothing more, turn around and leave. I breathed a sigh of relief, clutched my stomach, and bent down to clean up the mess on the floor. "No need to clean up, Aunt Vuong will take care of it tomorrow." Hoa Chau Can is back again. He gave me a pack of Ibuprofen and a cup of warm water. "Drinking red sugar water for menstrual cramps won't help, drink this." “After drinking, rest well.” “Ding ——” Two message notifications rang out, interrupting my train of thought. It's from Hoa Chau Can. He sent two more messages. 【Sorry, I didn't arrange it carefully.】 【You can drink the milk freely, use whatever is in the house, just treat it as if it were your own house.】 【Yes, thank you ~ (・ω・)/】 I carefully sent my thanks, then confidently reached out to take the box of milk from the refrigerator. Ten minutes ago. I had just returned from outside, tired and thirsty, so I went straight to the kitchen, intending to open the refrigerator to get a bottle of cold water. But as soon as she pulled the cabinet door open, Aunt Vuong suddenly appeared behind her, her tone cold: "Miss Kieu, That's milk imported from Australia, priced at 3,444 yuan per liter. The other things in here are also expensive, all good things that... you probably have never eaten before..." "But after all, this is not your house, you should know how to do everything in moderation. If you really want to drink milk, I'll make you a glass later. These things... I'm afraid Ms. Kieu is not used to eating them yet." After Aunt Vuong finished reminding her, she turned around and left, muttering as she walked: "What a country person, without any upbringing, I don't know how many times worse than Miss Kieu Nguyet Tam..." I was a little stunned, turned my head to look at the refrigerator. Actually, at first I was just going to get a bottle of cold water. After hearing Aunt Vuong's sarcastic words, I held the phone tightly and mustered up the courage to text Hoa Chau Can. After receiving his answer, I turned around and called Aunt Vuong back, showing her the phone screen. “Aunt Vuong, is it okay now?” Aunt Vuong's face immediately stiffened and her eyes fluttered a few times. Aunt Vuong reluctantly said "sorry", then bowed her head and walked away. From that day on, I never saw Aunt Vuong again. I poured a small glass of milk, tilted my head back and drank it all in one gulp. Gently licking my dry lips, I picked up my phone and texted Hoa Chau Can to thank her. This time, I typed more carefully: 【Thank you, the milk is delicious (#^.^#)】 【Nothing. If you like, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare a mini refrigerator in the room for you.】 【No need to bother ~】 【No need to bother, originally those things were prepared for you.】 I smiled slightly, a bit embarrassed. Hesitated for a few seconds, then still mustered up the courage to type out a message: 【(°>°) Thank you... When are you free? My overtime salary has just been paid, I want to invite you to dinner ~】 【Thank you for taking care of me all this time ^^】 It wasn't until late at night that Hoa Chau Can replied to the message: 【Nothing, but there's no need to be so polite.】 I guessed right - it must have been Hoa Chau Can himself who said it, then I could work at Hoa Thi. Finding a part-time job during summer vacation is really not easy, most companies prefer college students, it's easy to negotiate and easy to negotiate prices. When I was almost about to accept a job wearing a mascot costume to distribute flyers, I accidentally heard the housekeeper Hoa mention: "Hoa Thi is quite busy these days, recruiting more part-time employees, no qualifications required, good compensation. If Miss Kieu has a friend who needs a job, I can help introduce her." My eyes immediately lit up and I quickly nodded: "Can...can I?" Afraid that housekeeper Hoa would misunderstand, I felt a bit embarrassed and softly explained: "It's just..." - I bowed my head slightly, my voice as small as a mosquito - "...at the same time I'm a little bored at home." 3 Early the next morning, at six o'clock, I was still sleeping soundly when the phone suddenly rang loudly. Sleepily answering the phone, before he could say "hello", Kieu Xuyen Dich's brother's voice rang out, accompanied by a cold laugh: "Kieu Hue, aren't you just not taking me on a trip with you?" Yet you didn't say a word to anyone and secretly ran to Hoa Thi to work part-time as an errand boy? I'll lose face and die! {Read the full story at Van Ha's love page} Is my family lacking food or clothing?!” "If you're too bored with your free time, just tell me, I'll arrange for you to join my company and give you a random title of Done, no need to work part-time!” “Moreover, if I don't have a passport, how can I go abroad? A girl from the countryside, a high school dropout like you, can speak English? Until then, you still have to worry about taking care of your emotions.” The more I listened, the more annoyed I became, wanting to explain something, but I couldn't get in between his words. He continued, his voice calm and as if nothing: "I want to be close to my family, there will be many opportunities in the future. What's more, this trip is to celebrate Nguyet Nguyet passing 985, which is also something her parents promised her a long time ago." “Why didn't you notice that I was this troublesome before? The first week I returned to Beijing, did Nguyet Nguyet and you not treat me well enough? He even canceled an outing with friends to stay home with my older sister!” Finally, waiting for him to finish speaking, I replied in a low voice: "I... I'm not angry because of the trip. I work part-time because..." "Okay!" — Kieu Xuyen Dich interrupted, his voice impatient: “No need to say more. I just transferred you a hundred thousand pocket money, don't work any more." He emphasized again: "After all, you are a member of the Kieu family, don't embarrass yourself in front of Mr. Can." Hang up suddenly. Staring at the phone screen, I took a deep breath, my nose stinging. A bit... self-pity. After ten years of separation, I really want to close the gap with them. But working part-time is really because I lack money. I only have 341.8 yuan on me, the amount of money my grandmother gave me before I went to Beijing. There's one more reason... I want to buy reunion gifts for my parents, my brother, and even my sister.
