Chapter 95 My Face is Here
Shen Sisi looked at Chen Ting quietly with compassion in her eyes: "Chen Ting, we can't choose our birth, and many times we can't choose the environment we live in, but there's nothing wrong with working hard. But I didn't expect that you would blame me for the unfairness of your fate and the grievances you've 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 all the time."
"I'm not as pretty as you, not as tall as you, and not as fair-skinned as you, so I can only study hard, hoping they can recognize me for once."
"That year, I pulled all-nighters studying, got first place in my class, and went home happy. 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 still couldn't be better than you."
"They would tell me how great I am and that I was born into a position that I could never reach even if I worked hard all my life."
"No matter what I do, I can't get their approval. They always compare me to you and criticize me. Even after I passed the exam to join the county art troupe and was transferred to the provincial art troupe, they still looked down on me. They 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. She didn't know when she changed.
It turns out that it was all influenced by 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 a wronged voice slowly emerged from her covered throat, "Chen Sisi, I wasn't as good as you when I was a child, and I accepted it. I didn't expect that even though your family fell into poverty, 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 bring you down. Instead, you married an officer... Why?"
The more Chen Ting spoke, the sadder she became, 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's become like this, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I, Chen Ting, don't have many big goals in my life. My only goal is to surpass you, Shen Sisi."
"I swore to be better off than you, to marry better than you. One day, I'll make you look up at me, and my parents will sincerely praise me, saying, 'I, Chen Ting, am better than you, Shen Sisi!'"
“But…but…”
But things went against our wishes.
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, it's all your fault that I'm in this state now!"
The deafening sound 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 harmed me and tried to push me into the abyss, all because you wanted to prove yourself and get them to recognize you, but you took the wrong path, a very wrong one."
Chen Ting wiped away her tears, her words unjustified but still full of anger: "Stop talking nonsense to me. I'm wrong, so what can you do about it? After all, didn't I just gossip about you a few times? 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 to Gu Changmei arrogantly and put her arm around Gu Changmei, but was dodged by her.
Chen Ting was a little embarrassed, but she kept a calm demeanor and patted her chest, saying, "I'm the mainstay of the troupe, Director Gu's most proud student. You guys hit someone on the troupe's territory. Who do you think Director Gu will speak up for?"
"Isn't that right, Captain?" Chen Ting deliberately dragged Gu Changmei into the water.
She is the big leader of the group. With just one word from her, Shen Sisi will be in trouble for what happened today.
Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng both 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 entire 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 landed on her, making her scream in pain.
Shen Sisi 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 attack you in front of you. In my opinion, they should be arrested and sent to the police station!"
"You deserve it!" Gu Changmei gritted her teeth at her viciously.
This time, Chen Ting's chin was raised even higher: "Look, Chen Sisi, you're just waiting 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 you money? Where's my dream?"
"Okay, just wait for me!"
Chen Ting spat at them and leaned down close to Gu Changmei's ear, not noticing the anger simmering in her 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 child out of wedlock. You don't have to worry about offending her. Just cooperate with me a little and make her kneel down and apologize. It's so cold, and I don't want to go to the police station 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?"
