Why should she be ridiculed? Why should she be seen as less than others? Why should she only be ‘Jiani that can’t stick to the wall’? Why can’t she outscore Wei Jiani?

At this moment, she vividly recalls the disdain in Sang Zhilan’s eyes when she didn’t perform well in her exams, as Sang praised Wei Jiani in front of her: “My Nini is really smart, not everyone can compare.”

Could she understand then, that this ‘everyone’ also includes Tang Yuxin?

So, another reason she insists on keeping her top rank is her innate competitiveness. She wants Sang Zhilan to regret abandoning her, her own daughter. She wants Sang Zhilan to feel sorrow for once belittling and insulting both her and her father.

She is seeking revenge, torturing Sang Zhilan’s soul with an invisible force, every day reminding her of the glorious achievements of the daughter she abandoned, and the man – now thriving in the business world and making enough money to crush Wei Tian – she left.

She won’t be a good-for-nothing, she won’t let her father suffer alongside an incompetent daughter all his life.

“Yuxin, are you tutoring others now?” Sang Zhilan asked again, oblivious to the storm of thoughts raging beneath Tang Yuxin’s calm exterior – a lifetime’s worth of resentment.

“Yes,” Tang Yuxin’s lips curved slightly.

They all work hard, their grades improving year by year.

“So you can also tutor your sister.”

As these words left Sang Zhilan’s mouth, her face heated up with embarrassment. Tang Yuxin had refused to do so last time, but no matter what, this time Sang Zhilan wanted her to agree.

Wei Jiani said she wants to get into Class 1. The performance of Class 1 students keeps getting better, but the teachers aren’t accepting anyone, not even in exchange for their weaker students, let alone Wei Jiani. Other than her attractive face and piano skills, she has no other commendable qualities. In high school, there are many talented students. Some can dance, others play an instrument, and she is just one small grain in the sand. She no longer stands out.

The only way to improve her grades now would be to have Tang Yuxin tutor her. Tang Yuxin is currently tutoring others, and their grades have soared to the top of their year group. One former weakling even managed to rank twenty-third in the year.

Wei Jiani is Tang Yuxin’s own sister, why would she tutor outsiders and not her sister?

No matter what, Tang Yuxin has to agree today, whether she wants to or not.

“Did you hear me?” Sang Zhilan raised her voice when Tang Yuxin didn’t respond for a long time, assuming the bearing of a mother.

“I’m going to bring Jiani over tomorrow. She’s your sister, if you won’t help her, then who will you help?”

“Where would I get a sister from?”

Tang Yuyu asked lightly, was she forcing Sang Zhilan to admit something, or had she already realized something?

“Yuxin, Jiani is your sister, she is you…”

Before she could finish, her words were interrupted by a burst of gentle laughter.

“Oh, a sister, where would I get a sister from?”

Ren Li walked over and stood in front of Tang Yuxin. She sized up Sang Zhilan, thought she was some beauty, but she was just an old hag. She was nearly forty. She herself was only thirty-five, oh, so young. She touched her neck, deliberately showing the gold necklace she wore.

“Who are you?” Sang Zhilan pulled a long face at Ren Li’s sudden appearance. And what was with her gaze, looking at her as if she was discount pork?

“Daughter, tell her who am I?”

Ren Li, teasingly, wrapped an arm around Tang Yuxin’s shoulder and pointed at Sang Zhilan.

“My stepmom.” Tang Yuxin didn’t twitch a muscle. Her heart was also still. The woman my dad married for my sake.

Sang Zhilan scrutinized Ren Li, especially her youth, her fashionable attire, and the gold jewelry on her neck and ears. The sparkle from her gold necklace was almost blinding her.

“Didn’t Tang Zhinian say he would never remarry? Yuxin, is this how he treats you?”

“I asked my dad to marry her.” Tang Yuxin didn’t want her dad to remain a bachelor. He’s still young. Why should he be alone his whole life?

“Why?” Sang Zhilan fiercely questioned Tang Yuxin, as if she had committed an unforgivable sin. Perhaps in Sang Zhilan’s mind, Tang Zhinian should remain a bachelor for life, poor and destitute, even after their divorce, no matter whether she remarries and has kids.

Tang Yuxin stood straight, subtly letting go of Ren Li’s arm. The weight was almost crushing her.

As for why?

She let out a light, cold laugh.

“She can give me a brother. I want a brother, not a sister.”

“Sister? What sister?” Ren Li squinted her eyes, her sleeve baggily hanging. “Yuxin, does your dad have another daughter? Who gave birth to her?” She was ready to fight.

Tang Zhinian, well, Tang Zhinian had two daughters?

“My dad doesn’t. He only has me,” Tang Yuxin flicked a glance at Sang Zhilan.

“She said, her daughter is my sister.”

And who is this ‘she’, if not Sang Zhilan?

“She?” Ren Li felt like laughing, but she was too lazy to.

“Yuxin, are you joking?”

Or, she flicked a glance at Sang Zhilan, “Ms. Sang, you’re saying your daughter is Yuxin’s sister?”

“They are…” Sang Zhilan had just opened her mouth to speak when Ren Li interrupted her.

“Ms. Sang, you must be joking. Everyone knows, your daughter is only two years younger than Yuxin. Are you trying to tell me that Yuxin and your daughter are biological sisters?” Ren Li broke into a sarcastic smile.

“Actually…”

“Oh, actually?” Ren Li interrupted Sang Zhilan’s words once more, “I remember when you divorced Zhinian, Yuxin was only three right?”

Tang Yuxin kept silent. Everyone knew about this, it was an open secret. Tang Zhinian, being as naive as he was, might not have understood before. But how could cunning Ren Li not know?
