Chapter 87 Chapter 87 So terrifying.

Ever since Yan Bin's accident, although the two old people accepted her and Li Yanfei, Yan Zhiru knew very well that her life would fall into a state of decline from then on.

It is impossible for Li Yanfei to accommodate her in every way like Yan Bin did, and her grandparents who favor boys over girls are even worse. They have no feelings for her at all and only let her live at home for the sake of face.

The only one they care about is their precious grandson Yan Jiawei.

Thus, Yan Zhiru became the person with the least sense of existence in that seemingly complete but actually suffocating home.

She was having a hard time.

No one cares about her.

It seemed like no matter which home she was in, she was always an outsider.

Always the one who is not loved...

Needless to say, she was fostered in her uncle's home when she was a child, and was looked down upon by her so-called relatives. No one liked her except her cousin Li Mengdan.

Later, when I moved to the west of Shanghai, things weren't much better.

No matter how much she hated her stepmother and her stepmother's niece, she felt uncomfortable when she saw Qin Ru and Tao Siyun being as close as a mother and daughter.

A large part of Yan Zhiru's dislike for Tao Siyun comes from her family.

Especially since they live in the same room.

They lived in Qin Ru's house, which made her, as Yan Bin's biological daughter, feel unprecedented inferiority in front of Tao Siyun.

The four words "living under someone else's roof" once again pierced her heart deeply.

This time, besides her, there is also her father, the only one she can rely on.

The reason why Yan Bin can live here is because he is married to Qin Ru.

This house is not even the joint property of the couple.

This means that Yan Bin and himself may be homeless at any time.

From her perspective, this was horrifying.

When Yan Zhiru felt extremely out of belonging, she would tell Tao Siyun in a very vicious tone that she was just an outsider.

She wanted to make Tao Siyun feel inferior like herself and feel like a dependent, so as to prove her status in the family.

One is a stepdaughter, one is a niece, one is a blood relative, and the other is a family member in name only.

In the comparison of their status, Yan Zhiru felt that she had the upper hand.

What Yan Zhiru wanted to convey to her was very clear: her living here was more legitimate than hers no matter what.

But she was wrong. Tao Siyun was not her. She would not show any discomfort at home because of her deliberate malicious provocation.

Instead, he told her calmly, "I know, but this house was bought by my grandparents, and the owner is my aunt. I've lived in this room since I was a child."

The last sentence was like a slap in her face.

If Yan Zhi really gave in, she would tell Yan Bin the next day that she wanted to live on campus.

…

I don't know if it was because of luck, but Yan Bin's money was not wasted. Yan Zhiru performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination. She suddenly made a comeback from being a last-place student and even exceeded the undergraduate line by several tens of points.

On the contrary, Yan Jiawei, whose performance has always been stable, suffered a serious defeat.

This was unacceptable to Yan Jiawei, who had high aspirations.

He couldn't imagine that he would score worse than Yan Zhiru, a poor student who didn't learn anything!

Yan Jiawei was already feeling unbalanced because Yan Bin arranged for him to live in a rented house outside when he went to Shanghai West before, and now he disliked her even more.

Adults always unconsciously feel guilty towards children who did not grow up with them, and thus develop a lot of compensatory psychology.

Ever since Yan Bin brought Yan Zhiru to Shanghai West, he enrolled her in cram school and met all her requests. He was practically "spoiling" her, which made Yan Jiawei, who had been in Nanze, feel very uncomfortable.

Yan Bin’s “serious partiality” behavior had long aroused his dissatisfaction.

He and Yan Zhiru were separated since childhood and did not grow up together, so how could they have any feelings for each other?

For so many years, he has always enjoyed the treatment of an only child in the family, and his biological sister is just an unnecessary person to him.

It will only compete with you for limited family resources.

If Yan Zhiru hadn't called him to show off, he wouldn't have known that Yan Bin was willing to spend so much money to hire a one-on-one teacher to tutor her for the college entrance examination.

This is no different from wasting money.

In the end, it will definitely be a waste of money.

Upon hearing the news, Yan Jiawei immediately told his grandmother who had always loved him, and then asked Yan Bin to take him in as well.

However, unexpectedly, Yan Bin just rented a house for him outside and told him not to go home.

No matter how angry Yan Jiawei was, he could only endure it for the time being.

It's because his father has no money and no ability, and he lives in his stepmother's house and can only depend on other people's moods.

When Qin Ru went to Hong Kong on a business trip, he still secretly went there without telling Yan Bin.

The community is in a very good location, and you can tell how scary the housing prices are from the rental advertisement posted at the gate.

It's like heaven and earth compared to Nan Zebi.

One hundred and fifty square meters, with three bedrooms, one living room, two bedrooms and a study. There is really no extra room for people to live in.

Yan Bin did not lie to him.

He ordered fried chicken at noon, but before the takeaway arrived, his stepmother's niece came back first.

Yan Zhiru had been staying in the room since morning, talking on the phone with someone, and had not come out. When she heard the knock on the door, it was Yan Jiawei who went to open it.

The moment the door opened, the girl was surprised to see him, as if she thought she had walked into the wrong house, but as soon as Yan Zhiru came out, her expression immediately returned to normal.

Cold and indifferent.

She said nothing, put on slippers after entering the room, and went to the study by herself.

He didn't even look at him or say hello.

How rude.

Yan Jiawei looked at her back, touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and found it a bit interesting.

He had originally planned to leave after lunch, but now he suddenly changed his mind.

He was not unfamiliar with Tao Siyun.

This is his stepmother's beloved niece, the one his father always praises.

Yan Zhiru often said bad things about her to herself.

However, his sister never told him that she was so beautiful.

In Yan Zhiru's mouth, the three words "Tao Siyun" are not just a simple and beautiful adjective.

That was a person she often described as a "bitch".

To be honest, he actually liked that energy of Tao Siyun.

The more arrogant a girl is, the more attractive she is.

It’s not a wasted trip today.

…

Half an hour later, the takeaway arrived. Yan Jiawei looked at the closed study door and said to Yan Zhiru nonchalantly, "Go ask her if she's eaten yet. If not, ask her to come out and eat with us."

Yan Zhiru frowned and said unhappily, "Why are you yelling? It's none of your business whether she eats or not. Even if she starves to death, it has nothing to do with you."

Yan Jiawei stood up as soon as he heard it, "If you don't want to go and call, then I will?"

Yan Zhiru immediately reached out to stop him: "What are you doing?! Can you please stop talking to her?! She really annoys me!"

Yan Jiawei had no choice but to sit down again. "Are you so jealous of her? She's not as you say. She looks quite well behaved."

Yan Zhiru's expression changed instantly, and she raised her voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is jealous of her?! Haven't you seen her bitchy look? She looks exactly like her aunt! One is more disgusting than the other!"

Yan Jiawei smiled sarcastically, too lazy to expose her. He ate absent-mindedly, but his eyes glanced towards the study from time to time.

…

Ever since Tao Siyun returned to Beijing after his senior year of high school, the second bedroom has been Yan Zhiru's sole domain.

During the few days that Tao Siyun stayed there for the school entrance examination, Yan Zhiru threw her things everywhere.

Schoolbag, tablet, clothes...these are all things that represent her presence.

While occupying the space, it also seemed to be silently telling Tao Siyun——

This room will be mine from now on.

Compared to the messy lower bunk, the upper bunk is much cleaner and tidier.

The sheets were light yellow, and the quilt was folded into small squares.

Her pajamas were lying next to her pillow.

White with bear pattern.

Quite childish.

Yan Jiawei curled his lips slightly, climbed to the upper bunk and lay down.

After a while, he turned over, lay on the bed, buried his face in the pillow and took a deep breath.

There was a faint lingering smell of shampoo on the pillow.

…

Yan Jiawei woke up after sleeping for less than an hour.

He planned to wait for Yan Bin to come back in the evening and get his living expenses before leaving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he scared Tao Siyun who was passing by.

She looked extremely disheveled, with her clothes and hair disheveled.

His eyes were filled with fear and he dropped the things in his hands.

Yan Jiawei looked at her sleepily, wanting to help her pick it up and say hello, but the next second he heard Yan Zhiru's voice -

"Brother! Come here quickly!!"

…

Yan Jiawei frowned and clenched the paper in his hand. He was very upset by Yan Zhiru's next words.

"No wonder Dad is so generous to us now. Will he still care about us after the baby in her belly is born?"

“Not all the property went to their children.”

"She said she was a DINK, but in reality, she was just trying to make us let down our guard. How could that woman be so scheming!"

…

Yan Jiawei was so angry that he immediately called Yan Bin to question him about the matter.

"Dad, how are you going to deal with that 'accident'? I'm telling you, I don't accept half-siblings!"

It’s true that he is Yan Bin’s son, but not Qin Ru’s.

Once they have their own children in the future, what status will the children born to his ex-wife have in Yan Bin's mind?

Qin Ru's child, whether male or female, would seriously threaten her future family status.

Yan Jiawei would never allow this to happen. He was so angry that he threatened, "If you dare to have a child, I will sever the father-son relationship with you!"

Yan Bin's previous compensation and doting on Yan Zhiru had caused Yan Jiawei to be marginalized for a long time.

If another legitimate one comes along, he will be praised to the sky by the whole family!

After Yan Bin remarried, he heard his grandmother persuade his father and Qin Ru to have another child more than once. Yan Bin also explained many times that she was a DINK and they had no plans to have children.

Yan Jiawei's heart slowly calmed down.

I didn’t expect that Qin Ru would suddenly become pregnant!

Yan Bin was driving and didn't explain much. He just quickly told him to go back to the rental house first and hung up.

Yan Jiawei punched the cotton and was so angry.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Yan Jiawei yelled angrily, "How should I know! Dad told me to go back first."

"Then I'll go with you. Lend me your math paper so I can make a copy. I didn't bring mine back."

…

Yan Jiawei never expected that he would see Qin Ru for the first time ten minutes before her death.

His anger turned to deep-seated fear when the white Camry ran over her.

Half a day later, when I came to my senses, the accident scene was already in chaos.

More and more people gathered around.

The crying and sirens intertwined together, making people's scalps tingle.

The medical staff lifted Yan Bin into the ambulance, which then sped off towards the city hospital.

The scene was horrific, with bright red blood all over the ground.

Qin Ru was lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth. A few minutes later, the funeral home car arrived.

Yan Jiawei fled back to Nanze almost overnight.

He told his grandparents that everything was done by Yan Zhiru and that it was all her fault and had nothing to do with him.

If Yan Zhiru hadn't argued with Qin Ru, if she hadn't kicked her in the stomach, if she hadn't pushed her onto the street, if she hadn't tried to snatch Tao Siyun's phone...

Qin Ru would not die.

Yes! That's it!

Their family's living standard has plummeted now, and it's all because of Yan Zhiru!
