"No, sister, you're my only family. Even you don't want me anymore? You know I don't have any friends since I came back to China. My colleagues at the studio are all wary of me because I'm from the Song family. They're not sincere at all."
As Song Qiluo spoke, tears streamed down her face, as if she had truly suffered a great injustice, and she sobbed.
"I'm so lonely, please don't do this, okay? I'll listen to you from now on, just don't send me away, okay..."
"You know that Mom and Dad have never liked me since I was little. I know I'm terrible, but I've always been optimistic because you, sister, didn't look down on me. So now you look down on me? Have I embarrassed you? Don't you even want to talk to me anymore?"
Song Lingshan stared blankly at her younger sister, watching her face, which bore a striking resemblance to her own, as she wept and cried. Her heart clenched suddenly.
My sister is right. Although she is the youngest daughter in the family, she is disliked by her parents because of her rash and careless personality.
Moreover, with her as an older sister who is a perfect example of a multifaceted individual, no matter what the younger sister does or how hard she tries, she can never gain the praise of her parents.
Every time my younger sister gets into trouble and is scolded by our father, she locks herself in her room and refuses to come out.
She would patiently stand at the door, comforting her and asking her sister to open the door.
After her younger sister opens the door, she will snuggle into her arms and cry. When she's tired of crying, she'll look up at her with red eyes and ask her something.
"Sister, is Qiluo really that bad? Does she not deserve to be a daughter of the Song family? Will she never satisfy Mom and Dad?"
She would always say, "No, as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain your parents' approval."
But as time went on, she realized that no matter how hard her younger sister tried, she could not meet the targets set by their parents. Her younger sister really had no talent for studying or doing business.
She worries about her younger sister every day, fearing that she might develop mental illness due to the high-pressure treatment from her parents.
Sure enough, one day when she came home from school, she found that her younger sister was missing. She led a group of people to search for a long time and finally found her younger sister on the overpass, who was about to drown herself.
She was frantic at the time. In order to stop her sister from jumping into the river, she didn't think twice and made a promise to her sister.
"Qiluo, it's okay. Even if Mom and Dad don't like you, you still have your sister. Your sister loves you, your sister will never dislike you, your sister will take care of you for the rest of her life. You will always be the best in your sister's heart. Don't do anything foolish, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her younger sister really gave up the idea of suicide, hugged her tightly, and buried her head in the crook of her neck just like when she was a child, choking back tears.
"Sister, me too."
After that incident, my younger sister completely let herself go, ignoring her parents' restrictions and her father's scolding.
She did everything according to her own will, stopped studying hard, didn't choose the major her parents had arranged for her, and didn't want to get involved in the company's affairs anymore. She followed her around like her little tail every day.
When she went abroad to pursue her master's degree, her younger sister also declined the invitation from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and went abroad with her to study art.
He had a perfectly good dorm room, but he insisted on moving out to live with her.
Thinking about it this way, I realized that my sister's dependence on me was entirely my own doing.
Thinking of this, Song Lingshan couldn't help but raise her hand and gently wipe away her sister's tears, feeling guilty.
"Qiluo, stop crying. You won't be pretty if you cry. I didn't say I disliked you..."
She couldn't forcefully avoid her sister.
She forgot that although her younger sister is now an adult, she is still just as fragile and sensitive as she was when she was a child.
They were both born into an unhealthy family, a family that, while materially well-off, lacked warmth.
She is able to be mentally strong and fearless entirely because her parents gave her the little bit of warmth they had, but never gave her younger sister any of it.
Therefore, she couldn't abandon her sister, nor could she give up on her. If anything were to happen to her, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Song Qiluo smiled through her tears, "So, you forgive me?"
Song Lingshan said helplessly, "Okay, I won't kick you out, but you have to sleep by yourself tonight and can't sleep with me anymore."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiluo immediately became unhappy and pouted, "Why?"
Song Lingshan rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.
"Why don't you know the answer?"
Song Qiluo hesitated, then, after much agonizing thought, said...
"Okay, I'll sleep in the guest room then..."
Song Lingshan gave her a deep look, "It's good that you know what you're doing."
Song Qiluo changed the subject and asked curiously.
"Sister, where's Su Luo? Is he really disfigured?"
Song Lingshan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Could it be that her sister had used her computer? That shouldn't be the case; she never told her sister her computer password.
Song Qiluo's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and said, "I asked Aunt Zhang because I noticed that neither you nor Su Luo were home."
Song Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, he's still in the hospital, and it's uncertain whether he'll have a scar."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiluo was secretly delighted. Her sister had actually left Su Luo alone in the hospital and come back to sleep by herself.
Is it because he's become ugly that I don't like him as much anymore?
She tentatively asked, "Sister, if Su Luo gets a scar on his face, will you still keep him by your side?"
She saw from the surveillance footage that Su Luo's cut was very deep and long. If it really left a scar, it would be terribly ugly. No matter how handsome he was, with such a big scar, he would look worse than an ordinary person.
My sister has always been attracted to good looks, so it's understandable that she dumped him.
