Shen Sisi stared at Chen Ting quietly with compassion in her eyes: "Chen Ting, we cannot choose where we are born, and many times we cannot choose the environment we are in, but it is always right to work hard. But I didn't expect that you would blame me for the unfairness of your fate and the grievances you have suffered."

"Do you think I hope so?" Chen Ting's eyes bulged out, and she laughed almost crazily: "Ever since I can remember, my parents have been talking about you."

"I'm not as pretty as you, not as tall as you, and not as white as you, so I can only study hard and hope that they can recognize me for once."

"That year, I stayed up all night to memorize my lessons and got first place in the class. I went home happily, but what did my parents say? They said there was nothing to be happy about. Even if I got first place in the school, I couldn't be better than you."

"They would tell me how great I am and that you were born into a position that I could never reach no matter how hard I try my whole life."

"No matter what I do, I can't get their approval. They always compare me with you and criticize me. Even though I passed the county art troupe exam and was transferred to the provincial art troupe, they still looked down on me and often said that I was lucky and that you didn't want this position..."

The more Chen Ting spoke, the sadder she became. Finally, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry. Big tears flowed out from between her fingers.

Shen Sisi looked at her defeated appearance, feeling both pitiful and sad.

She remembered that when they got together during the Chinese New Year when they were young, Chen Ting was very nice to her and often took her out to play, but she didn't know when she changed.

...

...

It turns out that it was all the influence of adults.

The older generation loves to do this, always comparing their children with other people's children.

It ruined the child's life.

She sighed softly, and suddenly felt a warmth wrapped around her shoulder. It was Gu Chengfeng.

Gu Chengfeng stood beside her unknowingly and gently hugged her to comfort her.

Shen Sisi did not refuse. At this moment, she really needed a warm harbor to lean on quietly for a while.

Chen Ting burst into tears, and her aggrieved voice slowly uttered from her covered throat, "Chen Sisi, I was not as good as you when I was a child, and I accepted it. I didn't expect that your family was in poverty, but you still acted so high and mighty. I went to the countryside to work as a peasant, and I gave birth to a sickly child out of wedlock, but I didn't knock you down. Instead, you married an officer... Why?"

The more Chen Ting spoke, the sadder she felt, and a sour feeling welled up in her heart.

"So, you've hurt me time and time again just because of this?" Shen Sisi asked.

"Yes, but not entirely. Anyway, it has become like this, and I am not afraid of being laughed at by everyone. I, Chen Ting, don't have many big goals in my life. My only goal is to surpass you, Shen Sisi."

"I swore that I would do better than you, marry better than you, and one day, I would let you look up to me, and let my parents sincerely praise me, saying that I, Chen Ting, am better than you, Shen Sisi!"

“But…but…”

But the opposite happened.

Chen Jianguo lost her dowry and was left with a lot of debt.

Her boyfriend, with whom she was originally planning to marry, suddenly changed his mind and the wedding date was postponed again and again.

Now, even her singing career, which she was so proud of, was almost strangled.

“Shen Sisi, I am in this state now, it’s all your fault!”

The sound was deafening, and made Shen Sisi's face even darker.

"Chen Ting, do you really think I'm your enemy?"

"Does my existence really get in your way?"

"Even if you beat me, are you sure you can be happy?"

Her voice was not loud, but every word she spoke was deafening and struck Chen Ting's heart directly.

Yes, even if Shen Sisi was trampled into the mud, would she really be happy if she stood high above and was looked up to?

Shen Sisi sighed softly: “Chen Ting, your tragedy is not caused by me, if you want to blame someone, blame your parents.”

"You hurt me and wanted to push me into the abyss, just to prove yourself and make them recognize you, but you took the wrong path, very wrong."

Chen Ting wiped away her tears, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I am wrong, so what can you do? After all, didn't I just say a few gossips about you? Even if it ends up in the police station, you can't sue me."

"Besides, don't you see whose territory this is?" She walked arrogantly to Gu Changmei and took her arm, but was avoided by her.

Chen Ting was a little embarrassed, but she kept a calm face and patted her chest and said, "I am the pillar of the troupe and the most proud student of Director Gu. You hit people on the territory of the art troupe. Who do you think Director Gu will speak for?"

"Isn't that right, Captain?" Chen Ting deliberately dragged Gu Changmei into the water.

She is a big leader in the group. With just one word from her, Shen Sisi will be in trouble for what happened today.

Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng curled their lips at the same time, looking at her as if she were a fool.

Is Chen Ting okay?

Doesn't she know that Gu Changmei is their aunt?

Seeing that they were silent, Chen Ting thought they had frightened them, and her whole body visibly swelled up again: "Chen Sisi, why are you silent? Are you going to continue to show off? Keep doing it!"

She stretched her face forward and patted it gently: "Come, my face is right here...ahhhh..."

Before she could finish her words, a loud slap came down on her face, making her scream like a ghost.

Ana Shen retracted her palm and shrugged helplessly: “Everyone saw it, she was begging me to beat her, this is the first time I’ve seen such a strange request.”

The people around couldn't help but burst out laughing. These two sisters are so funny, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

Chen Ting was so angry that she almost jumped up. She grabbed Gu Changmei's hand and cried, "Captain Gu, look, these two are too arrogant. They dared to take action in front of you. In my opinion, they should be arrested and sent to the public security bureau!"

"You deserve it!" Gu Changmei gritted her teeth at her viciously.

This time, Chen Ting's chin was raised even higher: "Look, Shen Sisi, you just wait to go to the police station for tea! However, if you are willing to kneel down and apologize to me, and pay for my medical expenses, I can reluctantly let you go."

Kneel down? Apologize?

Shen Sisi felt like she had heard some huge joke.

"Chen Ting, if you have a brain problem, why don't you go to the hospital and get a brain checkup?"

"You're the one who hurt me, why should I apologize and pay money? Where's my dream?"

"Okay, just wait for me!"

Chen Ting spat at them and lowered her head close to Gu Changmei's ear, not noticing the anger in Gu Changmei's eyes. "Captain Gu, my cousin is an orphan, an educated youth from the countryside. She has a very immoral private life and gave birth to a baby before marriage. You don't have to worry about offending her. Just cooperate with me a little and let her kneel down and apologize to me. It's so cold, and I don't want to go to the Public Security Bureau and cause you trouble..."

This statement... not only belittles Shen Sisi, but also distorts the facts, takes advantage of Gu Changmei and pretends to be considerate of others.

Gu Changmei raised her eyebrows and said in a cold tone: "Chen Ting, are you teaching me how to do things?"
