"Yes."

"That damned girl is getting more and more outrageous, not even home this late." Standing at the door, Ye Qiu heard the cursing coming from inside; the speaker was her grandmother, Zhang Jufang, an old lady who favored boys over girls.

"I heard from classmates that her test scores this month are not that great, probably afraid of being scolded by you all. Sigh, it’s all my fault for not keeping a closer watch on her, letting her hang out with those lowlifes." This was Ye Qiu’s sister, Ye Xia, whose voice sounded soft and frail, but every word was thick with malice towards Ye Qiu.

"Xiaxia, don’t blame yourself. She’s sixteen already, if she chooses to degrade herself, who can she blame? I’ve even spent a fortune to send her to First High School, and she doesn’t appreciate it at all. If she fails to get into a university, she’ll have to go work. My Xiaxia is smart, not only does she have good grades, she’s also beautiful. She’s destined for a life of blessings." This was Ye Qiu’s mom, Zhong Meifen, whose attitude towards her two daughters was starkly different.

"Enough, no need to wait any longer; let’s eat." The speaker was Grandpa Ye Dalong, also an old man who favored boys over girls, who always had a stern face when dealing with Ye Qiu, his underachieving granddaughter.

"Granny, I want to eat large shrimp." This was Ye Dong, the only grandson of the Ye Family, who was spoiled from a young age and developed a spoiled and arrogant disposition.

"Okay, okay, grandma will peel them for you." Granny Ye Zhang Jufang said affectionately.

"Mom, you’ve worked hard, here’s a chicken leg for you." Ye Xia said to Ye Mu considerately.

Ye Mu chuckled and took it: "My Xiaxia is so thoughtful, not like that dreaded girl, her mood always gloomy, as if everyone owes her something."

"Alright, enough talking, let’s eat." The words were from Ye Hai, Ye Qiu’s father, who had been silent all the while. His voice carried authority, enough that even the pampered Ye Dong shrank back a bit.

Hearing the voices inside, Ye Qiu also sorted out the thoughts in her mind.

The Ye Family was a family that favored boys over girls. To have a son, the Ye Family had two more children than allowed, incurring hefty fines and adding to the already not-so-wealthy family’s woes. The birth of Ye Qiu, being a girl, was not welcomed by the family. Her arrival only made the family’s struggles worse, with not a single person in the Ye Family looking forward to it.

Ye Mu resented giving birth to Ye Qiu due to the disdain shown by her mother-in-law, Zhang Jufang, during her confinement. She was forced to return to work before completing her confinement period, which led to a lack of affection for her biological daughter, Ye Qiu. She was sent to live with her grandmother shortly after turning one month old, and it wasn’t until Grandma Zhong passed away that she was brought back, at the age of fifteen. Fifteen years of separation meant that she never quite fit into her biological family.

The grandparents favored their grandson, Ye Dong, and the mother liked the beautiful and academically successful eldest daughter, Ye Xia, leaving Ye Qiu, who joined the family mid-way, as the second daughter to be ignored by everyone.

When Ye Qiu first entered her biological family, she tried to blend in, but nearly everyone seemed to push her away.

Gradually, Ye Qiu, who had also been an excellent student in the countryside, started to associate with the bad kids in an attempt to draw her family’s attention. She hoped that her unusual behavior might secure their concern, but, contrary to her expectations, it only intensified their disdain for her.

In her new life, she no longer sought the care and attention of her family; instead, she wanted to live for herself, to live in a way that would make the Ye Family look up to her.

With these memories, Ye Qiu decisively chose the Hacker God skill.

"Bang." Ye Qiu entered and then closed the door behind her, her gaze sweeping over the dining table where, as expected, she saw the annoyed expressions of Ye Mu and Granny Ye, along with the schadenfreude snickers of her older sister Ye Xia and younger brother Ye Dong.

"Where have you been, coming back this late? Look at yourself, do you even look like a girl? Have I spent all this money on your education just so you can dye your hair? What will it take for you to obey? What sins did I commit to have given birth to you? Always learning from those trashy kids, why can’t you learn from your sister? Not only does she get good grades, but she dances and plays the piano too, what can you do?" Zhong Meifen was furious upon seeing her daughter, truly believing Ye Qiu was there to torment her.

Hearing Ye Mu’s scolding, Ye Qiu, who had her head down, couldn’t help but reveal a cold smirk. Right, her sister Ye Xia was good at everything, could do everything, but did they ever think about how much money had been spent on tutoring classes for Ye Xia since she was young?

Ye Qiu grew up in the countryside with her grandmother, and since the Ye Family didn’t provide a living allowance for Grandma Zhong, it was already good enough that her uncles and aunts could afford her education. Dance and piano lessons? Would there ever be resources or money for that in the countryside?

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Don’t you see the whole family waiting for you to have dinner?" Ye Fu said coldly.

The whole family waiting for her? He had the gall to say that? All she ever saw was them eating happily together, not a single person waiting for her.

But Ye Qiu wasn’t foolish enough to respond verbally; based on past experiences, speaking up only led to an endless stream of more scolding and laughter.

She silently returned to her room, and upon seeing her small 1.2-meter bed tucked in the corner, she couldn’t help but sneer again. The Ye Family was considered middle-class, owning a 200 square meter house in the city center. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Yet in such an enviable house, there was no place for Ye Qiu. Every member of the Ye Family had their own room, but when she first came to the city, she didn’t even have that small bed, she had slept on the couch for the first two nights.

It was only after Ye Fu felt it looked indecent for her to sleep on the sofa during the night that a small bed was set up in Ye Xia’s room, beside Ye Xia’s large 1.8-meter bed. Both girls were daughters of the Ye Family, yet the difference in their treatment was stark.

Not just the bed, but the entire wall of wardrobes was also mostly for Ye Xia, who only allocated a tiny section of the wardrobe to Ye Qiu, enough for just three or four winter outfits. Ye Qiu had raised this issue with Ye Mu, but it only resulted in scolding.

What need did Ye Qiu, a student, have for so much space to store clothes? Isn’t it right for a younger sister to wear her older sister’s clothes? Ye Xia has been learning dance since she was young, often performing and hosting events, so it was justified for her to use more space.

Because of her suggestion, not only did Ye Qiu fail to gain more space, but it also resulted in Ye Xia’s spiteful retaliation. Ever since then, Ye Xia would badmouth Ye Qiu to Ye Mu, increasing the latter’s dislike for Ye Qiu.

Furthermore, Ye Xia would often lock her out of the room, annoyed that Ye Qiu’s presence took up her space. It could be said that from the beginning, the one who despised Ye Qiu the most in the family was none other than Ye Xia.
