This morning.
My mother packed the books I would need for elementary school into my new schoolbag.
"Xiao Wanyin, you're starting elementary school today. You must pay attention in class."
"Remember what I told you: always be gentle with people and don't argue with them."
"There are still many kind people in this world, so be sure to spread the kindness in your heart."
I smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Looking at my mother's profile, I kept those words firmly in my heart.
Perhaps it was because I was influenced by my mother's gentleness from a young age that I have always been full of expectations for the world.
No matter what happens, even if I'm very sad or upset, I will still treat everyone with kindness.
Because my mother said so.
Gentle people are accepted by the world, and kindness is the source of all solutions.
I have always firmly believed in this.
But something happened a few days later that shook my beliefs.
Because of my family background, the elementary school I attended was considered an elite school, mostly attended by children from wealthy families.
My father, Pei Qing, was also considered one of the wealthiest people.
Because of this, I have never been bullied since I was a child, and my kindness has never been interrupted.
On my first day of school, I saw a girl who was about my age.
I don't know why, but I felt a sense of familiarity the moment I saw her.
Just as I was about to go over and greet her, she suddenly snorted at me and got up from her seat.
I was a little confused. It was our first time meeting, so why was there such hostility?
But it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
But a few days later...
Some classmates gave me strange looks, as if they were talking about something behind my back.
When I tried to hang out with them, they all avoided me like the plague, as if I would bring them bad luck.
I know something bad is definitely going on behind the scenes.
Finally, one day when I went to the restroom, I overheard some conversations between students from other classes, and that's when I understood the reason behind it.
Have you heard about Pei Wanyin from Class 3, Grade 1?
"I heard about it. I never imagined that her mother was a mistress."
"Not only that, her mother also kept a gigolo, and now they even have a child together."
"No way? Could it be that Pei Wanyin isn't Pei Qing's biological daughter?"
"Given her mother's character, it's hard to say."
"That's normal. Her mother was originally just a maid in the Pei family. She got her current life by seducing Pei Qing."
"Wow, really? Those two, mother and daughter, are quite cunning."
"That's right, so now no one dares to contact Pei Wanyin. Who knows, she might seduce someone else."
"Yeah, yeah, she's so good-looking..."
I rushed out of the cubicle and grabbed the girl's clothes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My mother is not a mistress. They have a very good relationship. If you dare to say anything more..."
My red-eyed appearance startled them.
“Pei, Pei Wanyin, I didn’t say those words.”
"Then tell me, who exactly said that?"
"It seems to be a girl from your class, and her surname is also Pei."
Suddenly, the image of the girl I met on the first day flashed into my mind.
Could it be her?
Pei Ruxuan.
While I was still in a daze, the girls scattered and ran out of the bathroom.
I stormed back to the classroom, where Pei Ruxuan was chatting with her classmates.
Seeing her gentle smiling face, I hesitated for a moment.
Is it really her?
She seems like a very kind person, so how could she say such things?
I walked over and said, "Pei Ruxuan, come out here for a moment, I have something to say to you."
She paused for a moment, then gave a very gentle smile.
"good."
When I walked to a quiet corner, her face changed.
I asked in a cold voice, "Pei Ruxuan, have you been talking badly about me behind my back?"
"That's right."
I didn't expect her to admit it, and I angrily grabbed her collar.
"Why? We don't even know each other, how could you do such a thing?"
"Ha!" She sneered, "Don't you recognize her? Pei Wanyin, it seems your mother hasn't told you many things."
"What's the meaning?"
Pei Ruxuan slapped my hand away.
"Pei Wanyin, do you really think that everything I said was just nonsense?"
"Aren't you curious why I also have the surname Pei?"
“Let me tell you, Pei Qing is my father, and your mother was just a servant.”
Do you really think that just because you gave birth to two children for my father, you'll have a place in this family?
"Don't even think about it."
Her eyes were cold, as cold as a gust of wind blowing from the abyss.
I couldn't help but take a step back: "You're talking nonsense. My mother is not a maid, and my father would never marry another woman."
Pei Ruxuan sneered, "Go back and ask your mother how it feels to be someone's mistress?"
"Also, don't even think about entering the Pei family again. You're not worthy."
"I advise you to get out of my sight as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"I will make you wish you were dead."
After she finished speaking, she went back to her class with her head held high like a victor.
I was lost in thought about what she said, feeling extremely wronged.
