Chapter 46 Are you a pervert?

When they were young, Qin Ru spent as much time taking care of Tao Siyun and Tao Qian as her sister Qin Shu. In the hearts of the brother and sister, their aunt was as close to them as their mother.

Qin Ru was a university English teacher and was still working in Jingfu at the time. Every morning during the holidays, Qin Shu and Tao Daiming would pack their things and send them to their aunt's house on time, and then pick them up after get off work.

Tao Siyun still remembers the warm and beautiful times before he was six years old.

Her aunt played with her toys, read her English storybooks every afternoon, and gently lulled her to a nap. This laid a solid foundation for Tao Siyun's future English studies. Later, when she was older, she was taught to play the cello...

Sometimes, Qin Ru would ruffle her hair while teaching her, then ask her with a smile, "Si Yun, when we grow up, can we also apply to a music school?"

The little girl's eyebrows curved, and she said crisply, "Okay."

"When my aunt was little, she always liked to slack off when practicing the piano. You mustn't be lazy!"

The little girl blinked, very cleverly saying, "I'll be good and not be lazy."

"Good girl, that's great!" Qin Ru gently scratched her nose, then kissed her little face as a reward.

…

When Tao Siyun returned home after the re-examination for the school entrance examination, a stranger opened the door for her.

Yan Jiawei had long known that his stepmother had a niece who had good grades and seemed to come from a wealthy family. She had come to Shanghai West to attend school in her first year of high school.

However, her sister particularly hates her.

When Yan Zhiru heard the sound, she slowly opened the bedroom door, thinking that the takeaway had arrived. However, when she saw that it was Tao Siyun, she snorted coldly and said in a bad mood, "Brother, call me when the fried chicken is here," and then slammed the door shut.

Yan Bin brought Yan Jiawei to the west of Shanghai without telling Qin Ru.

In the last semester of her senior year, Yan Zhiru did not go to school. Her score was still some distance away from the undergraduate line. Yan Bin, hoping that she could "at least get into a private undergraduate school", paid a high price to hire a one-on-one teacher for her and kept Yan Zhiru studying in a cram school.

Who would have thought that this matter would be known to his parents who were far away in his hometown of Nanze. The two old people who favored boys over girls were very dissatisfied with Yan Bin's behavior. They said that as a father, he should not be partial and must treat everyone equally. They insisted that he take Yan Jiawei with him as well.

Although the brother and sister are twins, their status in the eyes of their grandparents is very different, one is in heaven and the other is in hell.

"Mom, Jiawei's grades are pretty good. It's no problem for him to get into an ordinary university. There's no need for him to go to an institution for tutoring. But there's no way around Zhiru. Her foundation is too poor. It's even difficult for her to get into an undergraduate program."

"What's the point of a girl reading so many books? The score she got in the exam shows that she is not suitable for studying. It's a waste of money. You might as well let Jiawei take extra lessons and find a good teacher for him. If he works hard in the next few months, he might be able to get into a key university. If you are afraid that Qin Ru will not agree, I will tell her. She doesn't plan to have children. In the future, all the money you earn will be left to Jiawei..."

Yan Zhiru's arrival has caused chaos in the family. Yan Bin dared not mention this to Qin Ru, but facing his unreasonable mother, he had no choice but to agree and temporarily rent a small room for Yan Jiawei to live in.

The tuition fees paid to the cram school almost used up half a year's salary. Yan Bin didn't have much money, and was afraid that Qin Ru would notice something was wrong, so he kept using his credit card to make ends meet.

This time Yan Jiawei came to ask his father for this week's living expenses.

This was the first time he had visited his father's home since he arrived in the west of Shanghai.

Yan Bin had told his son more than once, both explicitly and implicitly, not to come home, saying that it was better to have less trouble than more, and it would be bad if Qin Ru saw it.

But Yan Jiawei didn't think so. In fact, he hated this stepmother whom he had never met no less than Yan Zhiru.

He felt that since Yan Bin had already settled down in Huxi, he should have brought him over earlier. Going to high school in Huxi would put less pressure on the college entrance exam than in Nanze. With his grades, if he had a Huxi hukou, he would definitely be able to get into a 211 university, right? There was only one reason for not doing so -

That's Qin Ru, his stepmother doesn't want to.

In his eyes, Yan Bin is now a complete gigolo. He found a local from the west of Shanghai with a fairly good family background, who is also a well-known university teacher. He might have already regarded himself as a burden.

"I'm obviously Dad's biological son, why should I be squeezed into a rented house with others like a shameful illegitimate child?" Yan Jiawei was furious when he arrived, and his whole body instantly became unbalanced. He complained to Yan Zhiru: "You are still living a comfortable life."

"Brother, didn't you see it just now?" Yan Zhiru raised her hand and pointed to the study room at the back. "With her and her aunt in this house, do you think I can feel comfortable? When has our father ever stood by me? I have wanted to move out and live on my own for a long time."

"Stop it, why don't you switch with me? I can enjoy myself and live in a mansion."

Yan Zhiru curled her lips and said with disgust, "There are several people living in your house, but there's only one bathroom. We have to queue up every day to use the restroom. I won't move."

Yan Jiawei snorted coldly, "I'll ask Dad to find me a better apartment in a nice neighborhood when he gets home from get off work. I want a well-decorated one-bedroom apartment, and you can continue to live with them."

***

Tao Siyun has been staying in the study since he came back.

My aunt went to Hong Kong on a business trip a few days ago and came back this afternoon. She should still be on the plane and I can’t get through to her by phone.

She hadn't eaten anything at noon and was feeling a little hungry.

I don’t know if Yan Zhiru and Yan Jiawei are still in the living room.

After listening for a while and hearing no movement outside, I prepared to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

The door of the master bedroom was half-open, and there was a rustling sound coming from inside...

Tao Siyun pushed open the door with some confusion and saw photos scattered all over the floor.

Spread out on the ground... is my aunt’s wedding album!

Yan Zhiru was holding a pair of paper-cutting scissors in her hand, and in front of her, there was a "click".

Half of the photo fell to the ground like a fallen leaf.

"What are you doing!"

Tao Siyun rushed over, snatched the scissors, stopped Yan Zhiru from continuing to cause damage, squatted down, and gathered all the fragments of the photo on the ground together with his hands.

Yan Zhiru also squatted down and picked up a photo at random. She stuck her index finger into the irregularly cut hole in the middle and swung it in a circle, as if showing off her work. "I just don't like you. I think you're redundant standing between the two of them, so I cut it out. Don't you realize it yourself?"

Tao Siyun paused, glaring at her with a frown on his face. "Are you sick?! Is this fun all day long? Even being unreasonable has its limits!"

Qin Ru was already middle-aged when she got married. There were no suitable bridesmaids around her at her age, and her friends' children were all in their teens and could not be flower girls.

So the person who held her wedding dress at the wedding was Tao Siyun, and the person who gave her the ring was also Tao Siyun.

She appears in many photos taken by photographers and her figure can be seen in many photos.

Tao Siyun held the fragments of the photo in his hand and was about to put them in the album when Yan Zhiru suddenly took out a glass photo frame.

This photo was taken when Qin Ru took her to participate in a cello competition when she was ten years old. She was holding the trophy and her aunt was holding her proudly. The two of them were looking at the camera and smiling happily.

"If you don't know, you would think you are the illegitimate daughter of your aunt and my father." Yan Zhiru mocked her.

For the first time, Tao Siyun was shocked by her jealous way of vying for favor. She finally couldn't help herself -

"Yan Zhiru, are you a pervert? Do you want to see a psychiatrist?"

If Yan Zhiru had looked indifferent just now, what she showed now was the anger and humiliation caused by the person she hated seeing through her jealousy towards her.

"Who are you calling a pervert?"

Tao Siyun showed no fear in front of her, "I'm talking to you."

Yan Zhiru looked at her silently for a while.

Why on earth does Tao Siyun always act so superior in front of me!

Since coming to this family a year ago, Yan Bin has often compared herself with Tao Siyun. In the eyes of her father, whether in academic performance or other aspects, she is inferior to Tao Siyun in every way.

At first, Yan Zhiru scoffed at Tao Siyun and thought she was just pretending. Later, when she gradually realized that Yan Bin was gradually showing a polarized attitude in front of them, she hated Tao Siyun even more than her stepmother Qin Ru.

People can't stand comparison.

Yan Zhiru obviously could not accept the fact that Yan Bin liked Tao Siyun more, as if her existence was just to make herself look worthless.

Tao Siyun sleeps on the bunk above her. Whenever it is late at night and everyone is asleep, she can't help but think that Tao Siyun is the daughter her father really wants.

If my father's partiality and protection were all to please Qin Ru, then I would become the only victim of his stable marriage!

She doesn't want it!

Why does she have nothing, while the people she hates can easily get everything she desires?

Why is this world always so unfair!

Beneath Yan Zhiru's seemingly nonchalant exterior, she actually harbors a dark secret...

The girl's inferiority complex is all hidden under her skin and cannot stand the light of day.

Because she didn't want to admit that she was inferior to others, she never dared to look Tao Siyun in the eye, for fear that she would be discovered if she looked at him for too long. She was afraid of being discovered by others, and even more afraid of being discovered by herself.

Yan Zhiru's jealous heart could no longer contain her inferiority complex. She no longer used the excuse she had always used, "I hate my stepmother, so I hate Tao Siyun," to rationally conceal her emotions.

"Why are you so mean? You must be so proud of yourself, thinking you look so pretty and adorable in that white dress when taking photos with them, right? What are you showing off to me every day?!"

Tao Siyun tied her hair up for today's re-examination, and when Yan Zhiru saw it, it touched a nerve in her heart again.

What's so beautiful about this face! How could it be beautiful? It's just as disgusting as her shameless vixen aunt!

Yan Zhiru threw the photo frame on the ground, and when Tao Siyun tried to stop her, she pushed her to the ground!

"W-What are you doing! Let me go!!"

"Don't you have parents? Why are you always hanging around other people's houses trying to make a name for yourself? Go back to Jingfu!"

The more Yan Zhiru spoke, the more excited she became. She suddenly reached out and pulled Tao Siyun's hair away.

The rubber band snapped and fell off along with several hair clips wrapped around the broken hair.

Yan Zhiru pressed her face to the ground. She wanted to trample Tao Siyun's self-esteem under her feet!

Tao Siyun's embarrassed appearance made her feel a lot better in her heart. "Aren't you very proud? Who are you trying to show off to all day long?"

"Yan Zhiru!"

"I just want to bully you! What can you do to me!" Yan Zhiru pinched her face and said cruelly, "I guess all the girls in your class hate you. Have you ever heard any unpleasant words? I don't know how many people say behind your back that you seduce this and that. Do you still think you're a princess? Disgusting, isn't it?!"

"Did you learn this trick from your aunt? She did it the same way when she seduced my dad!"

During the struggle, Tao Siyun was completely at a disadvantage, but when she heard Qin Ru being insulted, she didn't know where she got the strength from, and she endured the severe pain in her body and grabbed Yan Zhiru's collar, using the force to turn over, and with a "slap", she slapped Yan Zhiru in the face without any hesitation!

…

Tao Siyun staggered back to the study holding the photo frame and the half-ruined photo album, and ran into Yan Jiawei who came out of the next bedroom, yawning and sleepy. She was startled and the photo album in her arms fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Brother!" Yan Zhiru from next door suddenly screamed, "Come here quickly!!"

While Yan Jiawei went to the master bedroom, Tao Siyun quickly picked up the photo album, went back to the study, put on the cello and left the house.

When she ran downstairs in one breath, she received a call from Qin Ru.

"Hello, Auntie..."

"Si Yun, how did you do on the retest today?"

"That's fine, there should be no problem..."

"You're so confident! Auntie brought you a gift, it will be here soon. Come down now, we'll go to the cafe for a drink first."

…

"What did you say? Isn't she a DINK? Are you blind?"

"Am I blind?" Yan Zhiru threw the ultrasound report at him. "Look for yourself, it's been over two months! I had the checkup last Wednesday! If I hadn't found it, I don't know how long she would have deceived me!"

Yan Jiawei cursed, crumpled the report in his hand into a ball, and threw it to the ground!
