At seven o'clock, To Thien was in front of the school gate. Thuc Nghi opened the door to get out of the car, ran across the road and asked immediately a question:
- If you can go early, why did you make an appointment late in the first place?
- Because the hour is beautiful! - To Thien frankly did not hide.
- So what effect does changing the time have?
To Thien shook her head regretfully:
- No effect, but less money will be earned!
To Thien glanced at Thuc Nghi with a clear expression of disbelief, then waved her hand dismissively:
- You can go alone, tell them to wait here, too many people is not good!
Thuc Nghi nodded, ran back to the parking lot and told Mac Tu Lam:
- You go back first, I'll sleep at To Thien's house tonight.
- Since when have you played with To Thien? I heard that To Thien is often involved in scams.
Thuc Nghi snorted angrily:
- Just go! You didn't care about me before, then just keep on not caring! I'll call you later if needed.
Thuc Nghi slammed the car door, angrily went to the other side of the road and sat on the back seat of the bicycle for To Thien to drive, wondering:
- Actually, you can negotiate to leave until the desired time.
To Thien thought roundabout. This Thuc Nghi is really hard to trick, if she says a sentence, she can even get caught in the opposite direction. Where on earth is the person who is suspicious?
But this difficult friend is a customer, To Thien had to smile, reply casually, pretending to be very clear and righteous, with nothing to hide:
- Yes, it is possible, but it is not equal to loss. My dad looks really good, unless someone with a higher base intervenes, it's normally not wrong. He made an appointment just in time to lose money, but hey, take this to compensate for that, even though he doesn't know what it is.
Thuc Nghi sat in the back of the car, looking around while memorizing the road. The entrance to To Thien's house is a dirt road, very small, and a bit dark, sometimes there are bushes growing up, sometimes the front of the car is super crooked.
- You choose the appointment time! Not me. If there was no benefit, no one would choose to make an appointment at that time!
To Thien whispered between her teeth:
- You, if you don't look like my sister...
- What did you say?
- I said, let me ask the truth! Are you sure you're going to enter the theater school? You were naive before, not suspicious like this! Why wait until now to start showing up? At that time, I found you gentle and lovely, so I wanted to help you, now you make me stop wanting to help!
However, Thuc Nghi said it too right! If it doesn't benefit, no one'll make an appointment at that time, it's just that To Thien thinks that Thuc Nghi is a jerk and took the initiative to ask someone, then no one would mess around with those miscellaneous things, it's impossible. Asking for help doesn't work.
- No, because my family is very rich! Two million is nothing.
When To Thien heard that, she immediately changed her face to flatter:
- I know you won't let others suffer because of you, it's just that the divine plan can't be revealed, if I say anything that doesn't satisfy you, it's just for your own good.
Thuc Nghi looked at Mac Tu Lam's phone message and asked:
- Did you know me before?
- Know briefly! Rumor has it that your mother ran into something, so you were allowed to enter Class A, the girls were arguing because your academic ability was weak, and it was revealed after a semester. But the boys called you mysterious, maybe you were hiding your strength, guessing to make an excuse to ask Mac Tu Lam, almost half of the course had already participated in betting, whether you were pretending to be stupid or not. By the way, I'm not betting you pretend to be stupid, don't let me down.
"So you're telling me to be truly stupid?" Thuc Nghi thought about it, then asked again:
- Last time you said I would have bad luck, was it because of fortune-telling or by looking at my face?
- Just look at the face! Later, when I heard that you were hospitalized, Mac Tu Lam was actually quite good, if he went with you, you would get better, but i heard that Mac Tu Lam left you and ran for Truong Tinh Han. condolences!
- Do you know that too?
- The whole school knows that! - To Thien stands on her feet to keep balance. - There you go, come down!
Thuc Nghi looked inside the house and saw someone sitting under the mat writing something on a small table. To Thien made a sign:
- Come in! My dad is just looking at the books. Not busy with anything.
But Thuc Nghi still waited for To Thien to enter the house first before following. The uncle had gray hair, wearing a thin black jacket sticking out of a white T-shirt inside, old worn-out brown pants that would never wear out, and at a glance, she knew it was austere. The uncle heard someone coming, but didn't even raise his head, just held out a blank piece of paper, saying:
- Write your date of birth here, including specific hours and minutes.
- I don't remember the exact time.
The uncle still did not raise his head, just diligently flipping through the books:
- Call back to ask family.
- Can't ask family.
At that time, the uncle glanced up, but soon he lowered his eyes again, only saying the four words "family separation", then rolled his eyes and stood up to look at Thuc Nghi again, trembling and asking:
- What's your name?
- Duong Thuc Nghi. - Thuc Nghi looked at his uncle strangely, his attitude was as if he was afraid of something terrible, and had to take out a handkerchief from his pocket to soak the sweat on his forehead.
To Thien saw that her father was not well, so she pulled Thuc Nghi to sit on the mat.
- You just sit here and talk slowly, I'll go make some tea.
- Do not need. Take care of the main thing first!
To Thien replied immediately:
- It's fine if you don't need it! But you have to take it slow! My dad hasn't eaten yet! Just sit back and wait! Five minutes for my dad to have a drink!
To Thien dragged her father to the kitchen, immediately guessing that something was wrong:
- What did you see that was so terrible? Did our house owe her house? Other than the creditors, I've never seen you sweat!
At this point, the father still had to sweat, his hands were still a little shaking, making To Thien unconsciously want to tremble, but she still knew what she needed to do at this time, so she poured him a glass of water and patted him comforting back.
After drinking the water, the father seemed to have calmed down a bit, but he did not say anything quickly, but clicked his knuckles and calculated vaguely. To Thien's intestines began to be restless, impatiently asked a question:
- What's up? Lose life or capital loss?
- Lose life.
To Thien was disappointed and regretful, but still clicked her tongue resolutely:
- Then stop helping. Let me chase her away!
The father pulled To Thien's hand and shook his head:
- You can't chase her.
- Why?
- Our house owes her house.
To Thien frowned, thinking.
- Debts should be paid slowly, but life loss should not be done.
The father snorted helplessly, pulled out three yellow papers from the inside pocket of his coat, and said:
- We have to do. I gave your friend a few protective amulets, one in front of the house, one in front of the bedroom door, one kept in her body, in the future, if there is anything else, I will tell her later. Go and tell your friends, I need to get some rest.
