After Nhu Nguyet's weird "accident, the whole Lam family villa seemed to be covered in a heavy layer of air. Even though no one said it, the eyes of the four brothers silently turned to Nhu Yen –, his sister who had only returned to "for less than a month.
Nhu Yen always appears meek and weak, but is very skillful in pleasing adults. Only one person – grandmother Lam – is not easily bribed like that.
That day, a black classic car was parked in front of the villa gate. The old lady had white hair, her hands were wearing a jade stick, and her eyes were sharp. Lam Nhu Nguyet's grandmother – who had been in charge of the Lam family for decades – finally returned from a long medical trip abroad.
Without anyone's notice, as soon as she entered the house, she asked directly:
— "Where is Nhu Nguyet?"
Mrs. Lam quickly smiled to please:— "Mom, she is resting. It's been a bit... stubborn lately."
— "Stubborn?" – Grandma laughed coldly – "I heard it fell from the first floor, you guys didn't let the investigation produce corn and potatoes?"
The air suddenly sagged.
Mr. Lam frowned:— "It's just a child's scuffle, mom, it's not serious. Moreover, Nhu Yen is also a weak child, just came home..."
— "New to?" – Grandma's voice chimed back – "I heard it was a lost metal, but why have I never seen a DNA test? Or are you planning to bring outsiders in to take over my property?"
Mrs. Lam turned pale.— "Mom! What are you saying? I... I've confirmed..."
— "Oral?" – Grandma grunts – "Do you think I'm old and stupid?"
The air almost froze. The maids lowered their faces and did not dare to breathe strongly.
At this time, Nhu Yen appeared towards the stairs, pretending to be timid:— "Hello grandmother..."
Grandma glanced at her and then turned away, as cold as if she had never heard that greeting.
— "Call Nhu Nguyet down here. I want to see her." – Grandma said, decisively.
In the living room, when Nhu Nguyet appeared, her grandmother stood up and held her hand tightly.
— "Grandma knows her grandchild is not easily bullied. Don't worry, I'm here."
Nhu Nguyet looked at her grandmother, an indescribable emotion rose in her heart. In a previous life, when Grandma returned, it was too late. This time, she is still the only support that still has enough trust.
Grandma turned to Mr. and Mrs. Lam and coldly declared: "From now on, I will stay at the main villa. I will personally manage family matters. Even the so-called 'lost heavenly metal'."
As she spoke, her eyes swept past Nhu Yen –, who was tremblingly standing behind Ms. Lam.
The atmosphere that evening was extremely heavy.
Grandma has returned to – and her return is the beginning of the real showdown.
A week after the "fall that shook the entire Lam family, Lam Nhu Nguyet returned to school with the discreet attention of her teachers and the scrutiny of the students.
Since the press conference took place, everything has changed. The press reported loudly about the "return of the real " – Lam Nhu Yen. The name Nhu Nguyet was gradually replaced in the oral story in the middle of the classroom hallway.
Although no one spoke directly, the scornful look, the murmur behind them, and the look of pity said it all. In everyone's eyes, she is no longer an orthodox heir. It's just that the child was raised by mistake.
Everything— Have you heard? Lam Nhu Yen will enroll today. In the same class as Lam Nhu Nguyet!
News spreads as fast as a virus.
No one knows how someone who has never appeared in Luu Quang Academy's student system can suddenly squeeze into the special 12th grade —, which is only for real geniuses or extremely powerful children and grandchildren.
But when they learned that that person was Lam Nhu Yen, the real golden tree recognized by the Lam family at a press conference, all doubts disappeared. Who dares to doubt? With the power of the Lam family, pulling a child into school is not difficult.
That morning, when Nhu Yen entered the classroom wearing a brand new uniform, lightly braided hair on both sides and a timidly bowed face, the whole class fell silent for a few seconds and then a series of greetings:
— Is that the Lam family? So pretty!
— I heard it was lost as a child, so pitiful.
— And the person I thought was from the Lam family before... um... fake, right?
The last sentence was said softly but pierced Nhu Nguyet's heart like a velvet-covered blade.
She still sat still, raised her head and looked straight. Not angry, not sad, not speaking up.
No one knew that the person they were pitying was the real owner, and the girl was bowing her head shyly in front of the podium... is the product of a subtle identity swap.
— Hello everyone... I'm Lam Nhu Yen, looking forward to help... – Nhu Yen mumbled, her eyes filled with tears.
The whole class clapped their hands on the fence.
Nhu Nguyet curled her lips. Really deep acting.
A child who has never studied in the right program can enter special grade 12. Just looking at the fake transcript given by the school, she knew her parents had spent a lot of money. But then what? Going through the back door is still going through the back door. The fake cannot be honest forever.
Life has just begun. In class, Nhu Yen constantly tries to show that she is cute, hard-working, and obedient. In the initial tests, she always submits a few minutes earlier than Nhu Nguyet. But when returning the cards, the points are still flat. Yet there are still people who praise:
— She just returned home and has learned so well.
— That's right, better than someone who lived here for a decade and was exposed as a fake.
Nhu Nguyet heard it all. But she doesn't need to explain. It's not because she's weak... but because, the weak need to explain.
And you, will choose... destruction
