"Stop, stop, stop..." Chen Huaying couldnât take it anymore, "It seems like everything in your family is perfect."
"Isnât it true!" Sheng Ning nodded seriously, "Everyone in our family is great, except me." She said this with a hint of sadness, a flash of self-blame passing through her eyes.
Chen Huaying caught it sharply, perhaps thatâs her talent, seemingly careless and sometimes a little absent-minded, but always able to grasp the key points at critical moments, just like when she followed Hai Lan, she never missed a beat.
As the two walked out of the communications room, Chen Huaying asked, "Why do you blame yourself? I think youâre already great?"
Sheng Ning sighed; she had never talked about her familyâs situation with anyone, only the Living Yama knew. Not even the Su Family knew, "My sister is not my biological sister."
"Half-sister, I know!" The whole district knows Sheng Ning is Su Yushengâs, so her current mother isnât her birth mother.
Sheng Ning didnât explain further; half-sister, then so be it! In her past life, she was immature and would call Anâan a burden whenever they argued. In this life, she wouldnât make such a mistake again; Anâan was her most cherished sister.
"I owe my sister a lot. If it werenât for her, I wouldnât even have qualified to enter the General Union." Thinking about this, Sheng Ningâs mood became very low. "The town mayor withheld my spot, but my reputation in my hometown had been mostly ruined by Qin Cuifen, and I couldnât stay. Later, my stepmother had no choice but to ask the town mayor for the spot. The price was for my sister to marry the mayorâs foolish son."
"Oh my god?" Chen Huaying gasped, stopping in her tracks and looking at her in disbelief, "How could this happen?"
"Unexpected, right? Even my father doesnât know about this. My stepmother made the decision entirely on her own."
"Did your sister agree to marry?"
"She didnât want to, but she chose to listen to my stepmother, just for me to have a chance to enter the General Union."
Chen Huayingâs eyes filled with shock, astonishment, and all sorts of mixed emotions; she never expected Sheng Ningâs spot would be obtained like this. The Su Familyâs granddaughter, with a grandfather who was an old leader, an uncle who was a President, another uncle who was the Director of the Inspection Department, and a cousin who was a professor at National Security University. Yet, she didnât even have a spot in the General Union. Itâs simply unbelievable. Thinking about it now, the Su Family really neglected Sheng Ning, letting her suffer so much.
"Does the Su Family know?"
"No, only a few people know about this."
"Damn it!" Chen Huaying cursed under her breath, deciding she wouldnât talk to Su Huaiâan later at school. "So what happened then? Did your sister really marry the mayorâs foolish son?"
"..." This time Sheng Ning paused for a long time, long enough that Chen Huaying thought she wouldnât say anything else, before she slowly spoke. "...No, the mayorâs foolish son is a sadist, my sister would have been abused to death if she really married him."
Chen Huaying gasped, puzzled, "How could your stepmother bear it? Isnât she your sisterâs birth mother? Your family situation is really different from others."
"My stepmother is a very good person, ever since I lost my birth mother, she has always been particularly caring towards me. Even if Iâm immature, she still chooses to tolerate me."
"But she canât choose to abuse her own biological daughter out of sympathy for you." Chen Huaying strongly disagreed with this point.
