arents were murdered. The child trembled and crouched in the closet, through the gap he saw everything happening outside. The living room was dimly lit, and a man wearing a mask with brutal, devil-like eyes continued to frantically stab the baby's parents with a knife.
A deadly, fishy scent spread in the air. The blood flowed more and more, dyeing Mom's white lace dress and Dad's shirt red and spilling all over the floor. That blinding red color continued to spread, even almost reaching the closet where the child was hiding.
The final "thump" sounded. The man pulled out the knife, still stained with fresh blood, and glanced around the room as if looking for prey. The child trembled even more, cold sweat soaked his lovely long hair. She knows who he is looking for.
The man started to move. Every step he took on the ground was like the sound of a devil's soul-stealing bell. The child shrank his neck, hugged his face close to his knees, not daring to observe any more. She was afraid of being found by him, she was afraid of pain, she didn't want to be stabbed by those terrible knives. Is there anyone, someone please save the baby... Sigh, mom, dad...
*****
"Baby, have you seen the face of the person who killed your parents?"
"Tell me how it happened!"
"Baby..."
An Tinh Tuyet seemed not to have heard the police's constant questions, only attentively observing her blood-covered hands. Why didn't the parents wake up, why, it was obvious that the baby was shaking so hard, why?
Luu Tue looked at An Tinh Tuyet's silent appearance and was extremely uncomfortable. Why is she the aunt of this troublesome child, whose parents were murdered? Why did she suddenly call her? It caused her to lose sleep and was scared.
Recalling the scene he saw in the living room, Liu Tue wanted to vomit again, his face turned white without a drop of blood. But now this stubborn child refuses to talk, when will she go back to rest at this rate?
"Tieu Tuyet, answer us quickly!"
No matter how Ms. Luu Tue yelled, An Tinh Tuyet still maintained the same appearance as before, her eyes were empty and had no focus. An Dien Phong looked at his wife's fierce expression, then looked at the people around them who were chatting, then ran over to advise:
"Just be gentle, she's still scared."
Luu Tue coldly snorted and then stepped aside, not wanting to look at this cowardly husband anymore.
Why are they two brothers, born from the same mother, but each person is so different? An Thieu Minh is both handsome and general director of Thinh Toan construction company, ranked in the top ten in the country, while her husband is her younger brother and is just an ordinary office worker, his salary is so miserable that he can't bear to look at it. .
Luu Tue repeatedly told An Dien Phong to quit his job, then asked his brother to find a position in Thinh Toan to do it, but that idiot husband insisted. What about not having expertise in the construction industry, what about self-esteem,...Huh, stupid!
An Dien Phong shook his head at his wife's attitude and then gently stroked An Tinh Tuyet's hair. She's so pitiful, who the hell did this evil bastard do?
He was also very heartbroken. His brother's sudden death shocked him deeply. Only he understands how much An Thieu Minh loves his younger brother.
His parents died early, if it weren't for An Thieu Minh's care and protection, he wouldn't be here today.
Luu Tue never knew that with An Dien Phong's poor qualifications, it would be extremely difficult to have an office job like his current one, all thanks to An Thieu Minh's help. Not only the job, but also the money to buy a house, a car, get married,... there was a large amount of money given by his brother. The more he thought about it, the more An Dien Phong wanted to cry.
"Tieu Tuyet, don't be sad anymore. From now on, my aunt and uncle will take care of you, we will be a family."
Before An Tinh Tuyet could answer, Luu Tue jumped up. What, the snail can't carry itself and wants to carry another debt. This damn husband!
"An Dien Phong, what are you talking about? Where's the money to raise him? Do you have any brains???"
The police and surrounding people all frowned when they heard Luu Tue say that. This child is truly pitiful, his parents were murdered and he had to be chased away by his aunt.
"That woman is too cruel. This child has already suffered the pain of losing his father and mother, and now he is refused to be raised by his aunt."
"Human relationships are warm and cold. When they were alive, Mr. An and Mrs. An were both very kind to them. An Dien Phong's job was also Mrs. An asked my husband to help her find them."
"Is that true? Oh my god, it's really like eating porridge and kicking a bowl, crossing the river and crossing the bridge."
"Aizz, what kind of person..."
When Luu Tue heard those whispers, his face immediately turned black as the bottom of a pot. Just as she was about to drag An Dien Phong away, a thought suddenly crossed her mind. Wait, aren't An Thieu Minh and his wife all dead?
An Tinh Tuyet's mother is an orphan, of course there is no one in her maternal family. In other words, she and An Dien Phong are her only relatives. If she raises this girl, it means that the huge assets of the An family and Thinh Toan company will all belong to her.
Luu Tue's eyes immediately lit up. She immediately changed her attitude and gently said to An Tinh Tuyet:
"Tieu Tuyet, don't mind what I said just now. I was so panicked that I just said something random. Don't worry, my aunt and uncle will definitely take good care of you for your parents."
Seeing his wife suddenly change her attitude, An Dien Phong was extremely surprised. He is the person who understands Luu Tue's personality the best, being petty and afraid of trouble. He was mentally prepared to advise Luu Tue, but he did not expect the result to be like this.
"Wife, I..."
Luu Tue quickly grabbed his arm, grinned like a crossbow flower, and whispered softly:
"Brother, we're about to get rich, really rich!"
Since the night of that horrifying murder, An Tinh Tuyet came to live with An Dien Phong and his wife for three weeks. The first few days, she did not eat a grain of rice or speak, just sat huddled in her own room, refused to sleep, just opened her eyes wide and empty, looking at the opposite wall.
It was extremely painful for An Dien Phong to see his niece becoming weaker and weaker, but no matter how he comforted and advised her, she still seemed not to hear.
When An Dien Phong sought help from his wife, Luu Tue was busy researching inheritance law with the aim of absorbing the huge assets left by An Tinh Tuyet's parents, leaving no time to worry about anything else. .
She even irresponsibly said:
"He must be crazy, just take him to a mental hospital, save money."
An Dien Phong was very dissatisfied with Luu Tue's irresponsible attitude. Just as he was about to open his mouth to admonish her, she interrupted him first, arrogantly listing a bunch of his mistakes and shortcomings, then lamenting herself for But how miserable is life?
Each time, An Dien Phong faltered and gave in. In the past, Luu Tue was the beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luu. From childhood to adulthood, she lived a comfortable and happy life. Only after getting married did she have to do housework.
Looking at his wife's once white hands, now covered in calluses, An Dien Phong sighed and went out. If he blamed him, he would blame him for being useless.
After the unsuccessful discussion with Luu Tue, only An Dien Phong continued to try to help An Tinh Tuyet return to normal.
He asked for advice from a psychologist, often sat and talked with the girl for hours, and always behaved in a gentle and caring manner.
As expected, God does not disappoint people. Up to now, An Tinh Tuyet has agreed to talk and eat, and is also closer to this uncle.
Only Luu Tue is always cold towards An Tinh Tuyet. Every time she encounters an obstacle when completing property transfer procedures, she gets angry and scolds her. However, Liu Tue had no intention of chasing An Tinh Tuyet away.
She thought that since she enjoyed the property of An Thieu Minh and his wife, it was only natural that she should take care of their children. But one day, Luu Tue's perspective suddenly changed.
It all started from the day Luu Tue, as An Tinh Tuyet's protector, successfully owned all of An Thieu Minh's assets, smoothly becoming the largest shareholder of Thinh Toan company.
She was so happy that she quickly opened a meeting with friends to show off. People who in the past criticized and criticized Luu Tue for being poor are now extremely jealous of her.
Needless to say, Luu Tue gloated so much, he couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Someone who was dissatisfied with her obnoxious appearance suddenly spoke up:
"Luu Tue, is your family raising that child? His parents are all dead but he is the only one alive. Maybe he has a bad fate."
People around also contributed to the discussion. Some people say it's fate that overcomes parents, others say it's comets that bring bad luck... Liu Tue was shocked when she heard that. If that's true, will she and her husband ever be engraved to death by An Tinh Tuyet? ?
Remembering the scene of her parents drowning in a pool of blood, Luu Tue's heart trembled again. No, I can't keep it anymore!
"So what do you say I should do, I don't know where to send her?" Luu Tue asked confused.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. A woman in a blue dress suddenly shouted
"Ah, how about you take him to the orphanage! I know a 'good' place."
After asking for the address of the orphanage, Luu Tue immediately drove home. She looked at the clock and discovered that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, not yet time for An Dien Phong to get off work.
During this time it would be best to get rid of that unlucky girl. Luu Tue clearly understood that her husband was a very soft-hearted person. If he were to know about this, he would definitely not agree. In order to preserve life and wealth, there is no other choice but to eliminate this grandchild.
When Luu Tue returned, An Tinh Tuyet was bent over cleaning the living room. Who wouldn't like a six-year-old child who understands things like this, but that doesn't include Liu Tue, who is very superstitious, afraid of death and greedy.
She ignored An Tinh Tuyet's polite bow and then rushed upstairs, opened the closet, grabbed the girl's clothes and personal items, and put them all in the basket.
After finishing, Luu Tue immediately pulled An Tinh Tuyet straight to the car, the force was so strong that it caused a bruise on her wrist. An Tinh Tuyet was frightened by her aunt's actions. Where did she want to take her?
As if she had a premonition that she was about to be abandoned, An Tinh Tuyet burst into tears, trying to escape from Luu Tue's bonds.
How can a child's strength be compared to an adult's? She was quickly thrown into the backseat by her. An Tinh Tuyet suppressed the pain from the impact, kept banging on the car door, tears wetting her small face.
"Miss, open the door! I don't want to go, I don't want to go!"
Luu Tue did not listen to the girl's pleas, immediately sat in the driver's seat, locked all the doors and shouted:
"Shut up, scream anymore and I'll kill you!" If an unlucky person like you doesn't get rid of it soon, sooner or later, your uncle and I will be just like your parents, both killed."
An Tinh Tuyet's eyes opened wide as if she couldn't believe what Luu Tue said. Did the parents...cause...the baby to die?
Luu Tue saw the girl's expression in the rearview mirror and had no intention of denying it, and even harshly emphasized this misconception:
"Correct! Your parents are all dead because of you! You are a comet, a temperate star!"
After hearing what her aunt said, An Tinh Tuyet did not move the whole way, her eyes were as empty and lifeless as ever.
"Your parents died because of you..."
"You are a comet!..."
Those words kept spinning in her head, gradually darkening the child's pure soul. An unknown sin grew bigger and bigger in An Tinh Tuyet's heart, making her tremble in fear. Luu Tue was very pleased with An Tinh Tuyet's silence. Heaven knows that she hated children the most and was unbearably annoying.
After two hours, Luu Tue finally brought An Tinh Tuyet to the orphanage that her friend introduced. Nhan Ai Orphanage is located on an unnamed hill on the outskirts of L city, surrounded by mountains and forests, almost separate from the outside.
When Luu Tue got back to the car, it was quite difficult because it was getting dark. She almost lost her way many times, making her angry. As soon as they arrived, Luu Tue immediately pulled An Tinh Tuyet, who was still mentally unstable, out of the car and walked all the way to the door.
"Hello, I am Kieu Van, headmaster of the orphanage. May I ask, this lady, what do you need?"
Luu Tue and An Tinh Tuyet were now invited into the living room of the orphanage. Opposite the two nieces was a woman in her forties, wearing a cream-colored office dress, naturally dyed brown hair, and an extremely friendly and gentle expression. Luu Tue pushed An Tinh Tuyet forward, cleared her throat and said:
"This is my niece, An Tinh Tuyet. A month ago, his parents unfortunately passed away in an accident. My family couldn't afford to raise him, so we wanted to temporarily send him to an orphanage for a while. If life gets better in the future, I will take him home."
An Tinh Tuyet was shaken by Kieu Van's look. That is the look of a merchant evaluating goods disguised as affection and kindness.
"Poor girl. If your family is in such difficulty, our orphanage will take care of it."
The word "difficult" was a bit long, Kieu Van's eyes flashed with irony as she glanced at the bright red Chanel dress on Luu Tue's body. I have money to buy branded clothes worth several hundred thousand, but I don't have money to support my grandchildren. How ridiculous it is.
Luu Tue discovered Kieu Van's sight and immediately felt guilty and quickly wanted to leave. An Tinh Tuyet clung tightly to her leg, tears welling up again.
"Auntie, take me home, I don't want to be here, I don't want to be here, hu hu,..."
Children are often very sensitive to good and bad people, just like An Tinh Tuyet saw through the potential horror of this orphanage. The girl knew that if she had to stay here, the next days would definitely be very dark.
But Luu Tue just wanted to throw away the unlucky thing immediately, not in the mood to care about other things. She used her strength to remove An Tinh Tuyet's hand and threw it hard, causing her to fall loudly onto the cold floor.
An Tinh Tuyet tried to get up and chase after her but was held back by a pair of hands. Kieu Van smiled like a holy mother, but her eyes were extremely cold.
"Baby, stop trying so hard. From now on you belong to our orphanage."
For some reason, An Tinh Tuyet had the illusion of seeing a devil. She was so scared that she trembled and didn't dare cry anymore. Kieu Van looked at Luu Tue's figure getting further and further away and then completely disappeared, finally nodded with satisfaction.
This isn't the first time she's seen her parents, aunts, uncles, etc. abandon their own children and grandchildren like this, but she has never seen anyone like Liu Tue who is both cold-blooded and stingy.
He left his grandchild at the orphanage and still refused to give her a penny to support her living expenses. That kind of person, even if he was a demon, felt disgusted, so he left early to avoid being an eyesore.
"Call nanny Truong here."
After Kieu Van gave the order, a few minutes later a woman wearing a blue uniform came running. She bowed respectfully, as if she was very afraid of this dean, not daring to raise her head.
Kieu Van handed over An Tinh Tuyet to nanny Truong and advised:
"Take care carefully. If it affects the price..."
Even though she hadn't finished her sentence, the warning was extremely clear. Nanny Truong quickly agreed to accept An Tinh Tuyet, then dragged her to her room to take charge of her. The hallway was long and dark, but there were only a few incandescent light bulbs installed. It seemed that because of being used for too long, they flickered on and off.
An Tinh Tuyet's legs were almost stiff, she felt like she was being led to a devil's cave, an extremely scary place.
Finally, a few rows of old rooms appeared in front of us, the windows flashing with lights and the sound of talking. As soon as Nanny Truong opened the door, the space suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of pressure, all sounds immediately disappeared without a trace.
An Tinh Tuyet observed the scene before her eyes, the four walls were mottled with stains, the ceiling was damaged in many places, more than ten children approximately her age were sitting and eating on the cold cement floor.
Looking at every bowl in disarray, vegetables, pickles, and fish bones mixed together like pig food, An Tinh Tuyet immediately felt nauseous. Nanny Truong saw the girl's expression and laughed sarcastically:
"What a disgusting thing, from now on you will have to eat like them too!"
As she finished speaking, she grabbed the luggage bag from An Tinh Tuyet's hand. The girl was startled. She tried to hold on but was slapped hard and fell down.
"Hmph, even if you come in here, you still want to dress as beautiful as a young lady, there's no way. Those things are for you."
An Tinh Tuyet's eyes were red. Looking in the direction of nanny Truong, she saw a basket containing several tattered clothes, and they smelled horribly. The little girl kept shaking her head, why, why do you want her to have to endure these things, mom, dad, huh huh... An Tinh Tuyet crawled up, wanting to run away from this scary place, but who would have thought that she just came out? As soon as she left the door, she was easily caught by nanny Truong.
"Want to hide? Ha ha, I'm hiding!"
Her leg lifted up and continuously kicked the girl's stomach and thighs. The director noticed that An Tinh Tuyet's lovely face would fetch a high price. Nanny Truong of course did not dare to do that, but in other positions she would not hesitate.
An Tinh Tuyet cried in pain, but the other children pretended not to see, just glanced for a moment, then continued to eat. They are so used to this scene.
An Tinh Tuyet saw the indifference of the people around her, helplessly writhing under nanny Truong's beating, stubbornly refusing to ask for forgiveness. Nanny Truong saw this scene and became even angrier, attacking harder and harder, finally knocking An Tinh Tuyet unconscious.
