Yun Lian took off her coat and draped it over her shoulders.
Her hair, which had been soaked earlier, was now dried and stuck to her forehead with the liquid, making her look incredibly disheveled.
"Do you think anyone has the right to wash my clothes? It's rare that I find you pleasing to the eye, so wash them clean, dry them properly, and then return them to me."
I've seen you before. We went to the same school; I was in Class 1. Just return it to me then.
After saying that, Yun Lian crossed her arms and walked outside, her back view exuding an indescribable aura.
Xie Zhaodi tugged at the clothes on her shoulder, the whole world seeming unreal.
He stared blankly at Yun Lian's retreating figure.
How could someone as popular as her on campus remember her?
Xie Zhaodi spent the next day at her part-time job without any major incidents.
Go back and carefully wash Yunlian's coat.
Xie Zhaodi ran her fingers over Yun Lian's clothes, her gaze vacant.
"I never knew there were such soft and comfortable clothing fabrics..."
Xie Zhaodi tugged at her faded T-shirt, a bitter smile flashing across her eyes, before quickly cheering herself up and gently patting her cheeks.
"Xie Zhaodi, what are you thinking? You should be content with the life you have now. Keep going, things will get better in the future."
Xie Zhaodi cheered herself up in front of the half-broken mirror, quickly washed up, and then snuggled into her not-so-warm blanket.
Her room is very small, only 25 square meters, which serves as her kitchen and bedroom. She can only use the public toilet.
Even so, fate still wouldn't let her go.
The shrill ring of the telephone woke her up before she was fully asleep.
"Xie Zhaodi, your brother is going to go skiing next month, please send 500 yuan quickly."
Xie Zhaodi's hand, gripping the phone, turned white as she weakly spoke, "But didn't I just transfer 800 yuan to you a few days ago? Mom, I don't have any money left."
The woman on the other end of the line immediately became excited.
"Xie Zhaodi, what do you mean? Have you grown wings? I only let you go to school because you said you would be responsible for your younger brother's expenses."
Otherwise, do you think someone like you who's a money-loser can study?
You'll be relying on your younger brother in the future, so what's wrong with giving him some money in advance?
"If you don't have money, get back home and get married. I can still cover your brother's expenses with the dowry I receive."
Xie Zhaodi's tears rolled down her cheeks, one after another, and disappeared onto the quilt.
"We clearly agreed to give you 800 a month, where am I supposed to find the money now?"
"You little vixen, you're so pretty, you could just find any man and get rich, right? I've heard that your school is full of rich kids, and it's impossible that none of those rich kids would look down on you."
Xie Zhaodi, I'm warning you, if you can find a rich husband, you'd better seize the opportunity. You're not going to school to study, you're going to find your own job."
The things women say are getting increasingly harsh.
Xie Zhaodi cried and asked, "Mom, I will earn a lot of money in the future, and I will give it all to you. Please don't treat me like this. I am also a piece of your flesh and blood, aren't I?"
Mom, please, spare some of your love for my brother for me.
The woman choked for a moment, then raised her voice even louder: "You're a good-for-nothing, how can you compare to my brother? I'm hanging up. You'd better find a way to get me 500 yuan. If I don't see the money by the day after tomorrow, don't blame me for causing trouble at your school."
Hearing the busy tone on her phone, Xie Zhaodi felt even more desperate.
"Isn't it said that both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh and blood? Why is Mom treating me like this..."
Yun Lian looked at Xie Zhaodi crying herself to sleep on the electronic screen, and her heart ached.
"System, was that woman the original owner's biological mother?"
"No, host, the original owner was abducted at birth and sold to that woman. Because that woman was very picky and rejected many girls, the traffickers secretly abducted Xie Zhaodi when they saw her."
However, the Yun family continued their investigation, and the investigation became so thorough that they found someone who looked similar to the original owner of the body and secretly gave him to the Yun family.
Newborns initially all look alike, and they change very quickly. They put everything Xie Zhaodi owned onto the original owner, which finally appeased the Yun family's anger.
"If they could abduct other people, why did they choose to sell Xie Zhaodi?"
"It seems that a fortune teller in the village predicted that Xie Zhaodi's fate was to be wealthy and noble, and that she was destined to have brothers, so the woman was unwilling to change."
Yun Lian felt nauseous.
So his son came because of Xie Zhaodi, but instead of being grateful to Xie Zhaodi, they exploited her to the extreme and belittled her in every way.
Growing up in such a family environment, it was impossible for Xie Zhaodi not to feel inferior.
"Xie Family Village, right? I'll remember that."
Xie Zhaodi eventually turned to the dark side and killed her entire family. But if anyone else had experienced so much injustice from her, they would probably have turned to the dark side as well.
She could have had a happy and fulfilling family life.
The next day.
Xie Zhaodi's eyes were swollen like light bulbs. As soon as she entered the classroom, she was met with malicious teasing from everyone.
"Xie Zhaodi, your eyes are so swollen from crying, did you get dumped?"
"Hahaha, how could anyone possibly be interested in someone like her? Ugh, she smells awful."
"Xie Zhaodi, Zhaodi, Zhaodi, did you fail to bring your parents a younger brother and get beaten up by them again?"
Xie Zhaodi bit her lower lip tightly, but walked to her seat with a normal expression.
Unsurprisingly, there was a freshly poured drink on the chair, and the table was covered with all sorts of vicious words like "garbage," "Zhao Di," and "disgusting."
Xie Zhaodi mustered her courage for the first time, but with tears in her eyes, and asked the crowd.
"Who did it?"
Why are you targeting me?
The guy with the foul mouth is the most powerful person in their class; he's the illegitimate son of the Lu family, the third-ranked family in City A.
Even though he was just an illegitimate child, people from other families whose influence was not as great as his still fawned over him.
He disliked Xie Zhaodi, so everyone ganged up on her.
"Who knows who did it? After all, our class's security cameras are broken. Xie Zhaodi, if you really want to know, why don't you crawl between my legs and I'll tell you."
Xie Zhaodi clenched her fists tightly, her eyes reddening.
"Lu Ting, don't go too far, I just..."
I reject your advances.
Before Xie Zhaodi could finish speaking, Lu Ting's brother Zhang Jiahao slapped her across the face.
"Xie Zhaodi, how dare someone as lowly as you call Young Master Lu by his name?"
This is the scene that Yun Lian saw when she arrived.
Yun Lian crossed her arms and kicked the lectern hard, sending dust flying.
The loud noise drew everyone's attention.
Why is she in Class 2?
Class 1 is a special class for children from wealthy families.
Besides the high-achieving students, Class 2 also had some students whose social status was not very respectable.
Some were illegitimate children, while others were students from families with less influence.
Xie Zhaodi covered her reddened face and looked at Yun Lian.
Yun Lian didn't even glance at her, and walked straight to the podium, looking down at everyone.
"Lu Ting, looks like you're pretty powerful in Class 2. Gathering a group to bully classmates so early in the morning, so arrogant, does your brother know?"
