Marry me, I'm super sweet!

Yu Xi was initially reluctant to believe that her mother was biased, but four years ago, when her early romance was discovered because she liked Zuo Jinglun, and it became publicly known, her mother slapped Yu Xi across the face, calling her shameless for flirting with boys at such a young age, saying that being raised by her grandmother had done nothing for her upbringing.

However, later on, when they discovered that Xiao Yu Xi's younger brother by two years, Yu Tian, was also exchanging love letters with Zuo Jinglun, her mother's attitude did a complete 180° turn, saying that Zuo Jinglun was a good person from a good family, and that they were bound to marry someday, so it was better for them to be together early rather than allowing other women to snatch a good man.

Afterwards, Su Heng, worried that Yu Xi would steal Yu Tian's boyfriend, directly persuaded her father Yu Xinnong to send Yu Xi abroad to study.

Yu Xi said, "What should a daughter of the Yu Family be like? Should she be like Yu Tian, engaging in an early romance at 16?"

Yu Xi, you, have you no shame? How could you speak of your own little sister like this? Heartless thing, you don't even understand what family bonds are! How did I raise such a daughter?" Su Heng's anger intensified as she spoke. Originally, she didn't want Yu Xi to come back even after four years, yet there she was, sent home by an overseas school — sent home, what a disgrace.

She continued her tirade, "It's astonishing that she still thinks about you daily, worries about you when you're out late, and yet, look at you. Humph, because Jinglun prefers your sister over you, you start resenting her. She's your own little sister, yet you want to steal her boyfriend. Do you have any heart at all?

Despite these harsh words, Yu Xi's face remained impassive, but she couldn't help wanting to laugh.

"Mom, who exactly is stealing whose boyfriend? I have no heart?"

At the beginning, who was Zuo Jinglun closer to?

Su Heng still found her daughter unbelievable, "Hah, you're delusional. If you were to stand next to Yu Tian, it would be clear to everyone who Jinglun would prefer. Everyone sees it but you—you still think so highly of yourself. Don't go out anymore and just spend some time looking in the mirror. Really, you're not as good as Tian Tian, yet you blame others for not giving you the chance."

Yu Xi had long since given up hoping that her mother would take another glance her way.

After all, in her mother's eyes, there had always been only one daughter she could be proud of.

"Mom, then there's really nothing I can do about it. If Tian Tian can be so pretentious, that's something not everyone can learn, I'm afraid I might disappoint you."

At that moment, a slap landed squarely on Yu Xi's face.

Looking up, she saw her father, Yu Xinnong, glaring at her furiously.

Yu Xi turned her head and covered her painfully burning cheek.

If it had been anyone else who dared to slap her like that, she probably would have hit back already; when it came to fighting, she rarely lost.

But the man in front of her was her father.

The respected Chairman.

She lifted her face.

Yu Xinnong's angry scolding hit her head-on, "Just look at yourself, what have you become? We sent you abroad to learn something worthwhile. Look at what you've learned. I was thinking of restoring your credit card, but it seems it should stay blocked. Next week, you go back to school, start over and apply for university again. If you don't get in, don't go around telling people you're my daughter."

Yu Xi touched her burning cheek and responded indifferently, "You talk as if people outside know that I am the daughter of the Respected Chairman."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinnong's expression grew even worse, "Are you talking back to me?"
