This was the first time Ye Yingying had received candy, and she stared at the candy in her hand for a long time.

When she was very young and didn't even know how old she was, her father passed away. Her mother was a parasitic plant who could only rely on men. After her husband left, she cried every day and didn't care about her young daughter at all.

When Ye Yingying was in elementary school, her clothes never fit properly and were always dirty, so she wouldn't play with any of the girls in her class.

There was a little girl in the class from a wealthy family who was getting married. When the other children were sharing candy, the girl who was getting married was not given any.

"You look dirty and ugly, I don't want to share my candy with you."

Although she cried a lot later, and the teacher slipped a few pills into her hand to appease her, she knew that she was not likable.

She was ostracized by both boys and girls in her class. Her only friend was her older brother, Jia Nian, who was a year older than her. She was lonely and isolated until the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school.

Song Min found a new boyfriend. Her new uncle would tell her to be clean, buy her clean and pretty clothes, and give her hair ties. When Ye Yingying went to school after washing herself and wearing a pretty little dress, the elementary school boys, who already had a concept of boys and girls, all changed their attitude towards her.

Ye Yingying, who was originally disliked, rejected, and isolated by the little girls in the class, has become beautiful.

This change was so drastic that Ye Yingying remained unpopular among girls. The only difference was that the boys started to find all sorts of ways to make Ye Yingying happy.

Ye Yingying discovered that she no longer needed children to share candy with her, because a group of little boys would give her chocolates in various creative ways.

I've been studying from the first year of junior high, the second year of junior high, the third year of junior high, the first year of senior high, and now I'm in the second year of senior high.

Ye Yingying received a lot of chocolates. She knew how happy it was to be rich, even to buy imported chocolates. One chocolate could cost as much as a new set of clothes for an ordinary family.

Ye Yingying understood what she wanted: she wanted to climb to the top of the pyramid, no matter what method she used.

She knew this was a very good opportunity as soon as she entered the Ye family.

She could use her wealthy family to achieve a dramatic turnaround in her life, and she would even use a rich young lady like Ye Zhiwei as a stepping stone to climb up.

But for some reason, when she looked at the candy Ye Zhiwei gave her, Ye Yingying inexplicably thought of the poor little girl in first grade who could only watch others have candy.

Ye Yingying returned to her class. Although she didn't get along very well with the girls in her class, girls of this age are already starting to maintain superficial relationships.

The girl in front of Ye Yingying asked, "Yingying, what does Senior Zhiwei want you to do on the rooftop?"

There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

Everyone still felt that Ye Zhiwei disliked Ye Yingying very much; no one would like a stepsister brought home by their stepmother.

"My sister gave me a few milk candies," Ye Yingying said sweetly to the girl at the table in front of her, clutching the candies in her hand.

"Ye Zhiwei gave you milk candy?" the girl asked in surprise. "Really? This milk candy was given to you by Senior Zhiwei? You two—aren't you two on bad terms?"

I was so surprised that the rest of the words just came out of my mouth.

Ye Yingying remained silent for a moment.

The girl explained, "That's not what I meant..."

"I know that's not what you meant," Ye Yingying said with a smile. "But you've misunderstood. I have a very good relationship with Sister Zhiwei."

Hmph, it's just a few candies, why are you making such a fuss?

She can't be bought off with a few pieces of candy.
