On the surface, Bai Xiaoruo is the second young lady of the Bai family, but to be honest, she lives a life worse than even the servants of the Bai family.
Bai Xiaoruo's happiest moments all ended when she was 7 years old.
That year, my mother suddenly fell seriously ill. Within a few days, her condition worsened to the point that she was bedridden, and she passed away not long after.
Just a few days after his mother's funeral, his father, Bai Minglei, held a lavish banquet to marry his new wife.
She also brought back an older sister who was two years older than Bai Xiaoruo.
They are half-sisters.
It was only then that Bai Xiaoruo realized that the so-called loving husband and father who had doted on his wife and daughter all these years had cheated on her not long after marrying her mother.
Bai Minglei's parents had a business marriage, and there was no love between them. So even after Bai Xiaoruo was born, he didn't forget to have affairs everywhere.
Over the years, my father’s so-called overtime work was actually just him going to another house under his name to be with that mother and daughter. He gave all his sincerity to that mother and daughter.
The mother's sudden death presented a golden opportunity, and the impatient mistress brazenly moved her luggage into her home.
All of her mother's old belongings were thrown out, and Bai Xiaoruo went from being the rightful eldest daughter of the Bai family to the second daughter, and her treatment instantly became no different from that of a servant.
Her beautiful princess room became her older sister Bai Xiaofu's room. All the things she used to own—pretty floral dresses, cute dolls, and favorite books—became Bai Xiaofu's, while Bai Xiaoruo was relegated to sleep in the servants' room on the first floor.
In the past, servants always lined up to serve her, but now she has become one of the servants, serving her older sister Bai Xiaofu.
If Bai Xiaoruo disobeys even slightly, Bai Xiaofu will beat and scold her at the drop of a hat. If she dares to take things from her sister Bai Xiaofu and angers her, Bai Xiaofu will destroy the things rather than leave them to Bai Xiaoruo.
The father who once doted on her and cherished her has always turned a blind eye to these events; his current darling is Bai Xiaofu.
No matter what kind of banquet the Bai family held, or when her father's friends came to visit, Bai Xiaoruo was not allowed to go out to meet them.
Over time, few people knew that the Bai family actually had two daughters.
Bai Xiaoruo has always been gentle and tolerant since childhood, and gradually she got used to it.
After all, this is the home where they have lived for so many years. Even if they resist, what can they do? They are unarmed. If they are really kicked out, where can they go?
This feeling of grievance continued until Bai Xiaoruo went to university and moved into a dormitory, at which point Bai Xiaofu's arrogance towards her lessened.
When Bai Xiaoruo excitedly brought her K University acceptance letter home, instead of being happy for her, she was met with ridicule and disdain. It was only after Bai Xiaoruo pleaded with her father for a long time that he agreed to let her continue her university studies.
The school is far from home, so Bai Xiaofu, the older sister, has a driver who picks her up and drops her off at school and has applied for exemption from boarding. Bai Xiaoruo, on the other hand, has rarely ridden in the family driver's car and usually has to walk or take a taxi. In order not to waste time, Bai Xiaoruo naturally chose to board at school and only goes home on weekends.
In addition to the occasional miscellaneous material fees from school, Bai Xiaoruo barely managed to pay the bills by saving every penny of her father's allowance.
Ji Shushu helped Bai Xiaoruo top up her meal card a couple of days ago; otherwise, I don't know how she would have spent her days at school from Monday to Friday.
Ji Shushu felt really indignant on Bai Xiaoruo's behalf.
The Bai family is a prominent family in L City's high society, and they are not short of money. How could they be so stingy with their daughter?
If Ji Shushu hadn't known Bai Xiaoruo since childhood and seen the childhood photo album she took with her parents, she would sometimes wonder if Bai Xiaoruo was an adopted child of the Bai family.
