on the eve of the college entrance examination, I saw Chen Siyue again.

　　In my house, my father was standing tall, red-faced, telling her to get out, while Aunt Jiang was trying to persuade him.

　　"Look at how you're dressed! How does your mother even manage you?" Chen Siyue crossed her legs, smoking and exhaling smoke, with an impatient look on her face: "Mind your own business! I'm not with you!" "Then why did you come back? Get out of here!" "Dad, I just wanted to see you.

　　I came back to stay for a few days.

　　If you really want me to leave, then I'll leave." Chen Siyue shook her leg confidently.

　　My father was so angry that he fell back, cursed a few words, and went back to his room alone, sulking.

　　I took off my shoes, entered the house, and put down my schoolbag, reminiscing about that rainy night, feeling indifferent in my heart.

　　The father, despite being disdained by Chen Siyue, is still worried that she will become a bad influence.

　　Even if she looks down on him, he cannot bear for his daughter to truly leave.

　　If she is truly unwelcome and unwanted, he should treat her the same way I was treated in my previous life and not give her the opportunity to enter the house at all.

　　Am I angry? No, not really.

　　Just a faint, ah, so be it.

　　"Hey, Lin Chuyi, why haven't you been home for a month?" Chen Siyue stared at me warily.

　　I calmly replied, "Didn't Dad tell you? I went to summer camp to relax." At this moment, my father came out and shouted loudly, "Your sister has good grades, she doesn't need to scramble at the last minute like others.

　　At such a young age, not studying but going to accompany drinking, are you bringing shame to yourself?" The father and daughter started arguing again, and I stuffed cotton in my ears and lay down on the bed.

　　...

　　With only one week left until the college entrance exam, Chen Siyue worked at the Chen family company during the day and came back to sleep without fail at night.

　　She often arrived home late at night, vomiting uncontrollably.

　　My father scolded her and made hangover soup for her.

　　Aunt Jiang reminded him to tell Chen Siyue to be more careful and not to disturb my review.

　　But the nights at home became even more lively, besides the noise from Chen Siyue's late return, there was also the sound of my father arguing with my mother over the phone.

　　Xiao Manqing whispered to me that Chen Siyue was using the excuse of looking after my father to disrupt my studying.

　　I shook my head and said, "No way? After all, they haven't seen each other in years, it's normal to catch up a bit." Xiao Manqing had no choice but to ask me to study at her house.

　　From start to finish, I had no complaints.

　　...

　　On the night before the college entrance exam, Chen Siyue sneaked into my room and said she wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with me: "Lin Chuyi, why didn't you ever come home in the previous life? Did Dad not allow you to come back?" "Oh, I didn't even think about it.

　　It's been so many years, yet Dad still kept my room." She patted my bed and laughed triumphantly, "But after you left, this room became my study.

　　Lin Chuyi, how did you manage to get along with Dad so well in this life?" "Don't you hate him?" She reached out, touched the ring on her middle finger, her eyes full of longing, "Do you know? My stepfather said that if I can seal a few more deals, he will let me marry Shengge." "Ah, Shengge was your brother-in-law in the previous life, your husband, it's really embarrassing." I sneered in my heart.

　　Sealing a few deals? With her dusty appearance? Using seductive techniques to please others? She actually took the flattery of the Chen family father and son seriously.

　　"No need to feel embarrassed, I wish you a happy and lasting marriage." Chen Siyue patted her chest and laughed heartily, saying, "Lin Chuyi, turns out everything you did in the previous life was just an illusion." "I thought you and Shengge had a great relationship, turns out it was nothing special." "Otherwise, why would you be willing to give him to me?" She smirked, lowered her head to touch her small belly, "Let me tell you some good news, I'm pregnant with Shengge's child.

　　Sister, it seems like you didn't have any children in the previous life, right?" She confidently declared, "In this life, you can forget about marrying into the Chen family.

　　The company, the money, the men, they are all mine! I have taken back everything that belonged to you in the previous life!" "Then congratulations are in order." I said.

　　Chen Siyue's attacks were like hitting cotton, all talk and no result.

　　In the end, they returned in bitterness and frustration.

　　But I couldn't help but think, in this lifetime, without me leading the Chen family to switch industries, how will the destitute Chen father and son end up? ...

　　The next day, early in the morning, Xiaomanqing came to call me to the examination center.

　　My father was helping me pack my ID card, examination permit, and stationery.

　　While waiting to enter, Aunt Jiang urged Xiaomanqing to double-check the exam documents and stationery.

　　At this moment, my father exclaimed, "Ah!" We all looked at him, only to see him desperately shaking my bag of documents and muttering, "It's gone, where are the things inside?" Aunt Jiang was horrified, "This is no joke, the bell is about to ring, weren't you afraid that the child wouldn't keep them safe and insisted on bringing them yourself?" My father's face turned pale, his lips trembling, and he kept saying, "Yes, yes, I've been holding them all along, I checked them when I left the house." Xiaomanqing became anxious, "Uncle Lin, think about who else touched the bag." My father thought for a moment, suddenly slapped his forehead, and looked shocked, "Yueyue! But that's impossible!" Aunt Jiang stomped her foot in anger, "Oh, Lao Lin, this determines the child's life, how can you be so careless?" Everyone was flustered.

　　My father kept muttering distractedly, "I just let Yueyue touch it before leaving, and I saw that the bag was the same." At this point, the bell rang, and Aunt Jiang couldn't manage any longer, hurriedly taking Xiaomanqing into the examination room.

　　My father could only take me quickly to find the teacher.

　　However, all the documents were lost, and there was no time to negotiate or explain with the teacher.

　　By the time I entered the examination room, half an hour had already passed, and this subject was basically a waste.

　　My father desperately dialed Chen Siyue's phone, shouting that he would kill her.

　　Chen Siyue's arrogant laughter came from the phone, "Lin Chuyi, surprised or not? Unexpected or not? Did you think I only had that little trick last night? Haha, that was just to confuse you." "I hate it when you pretend to be high and mighty in front of me but have been waiting to watch me fail in secret, despising and looking down on me!" "You act submissive, but you think that because you passed the college entrance exam, you're something.

　　Let me tell you, you don't have a future in college!" "Did I permit you to enter my life? In your whole life, don't even think about being stronger than me!" Perhaps her goal had been achieved, as she no longer had any scruples.

　　My father trembled and asked, "Chen Siyue, I'm asking you, did you come back this time to ruin your sister's college entrance exam?" "That's right, you old thing! Did you really think I came back to reminisce with you?" "You rats in the gutter, struggle as much as you want." "You damn thing, you're not even human, you've caused so much harm to your sister, get back here!" "Hahaha, I'll tell you some good news, our whole family is in Shanghai, and tomorrow we're moving abroad to live.

　　As for you all, good luck and goodbye!" The phone hung up, and no matter how many times my father dialed, there was no response.

　　Even my mother's phone was turned off.

　　No relatives could reach them.

　　It was as if my father had aged several decades in an instant, staggering and falling to the ground.

　　I silently helped him up.

　　His tears flowed freely as he looked at me, repeatedly slapping himself: "Daughter, it's dad's fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Dad should die, dad has ruined your whole life." He pounded his chest and stomped his feet relentlessly.

　　I saw Teacher He walking towards us from afar and quickly helped my dad walk away.

　　Regret? Shame? Aren't these all what you deserve? My dad fell ill as soon as he got home, lying in bed unable to get up.

　　Not being able to take the exam was one thing, but the greater blow came from Chen Siyue's manipulation and betrayal.

　　He woke up in a daze and kept saying, "Eighth grade, I'm sorry, dad was wrong, dad will treat you well from now on." Aunt Jiang called me out of the room, her face full of concern: "Eighth grade, it's been three days, tell him the truth.

　　Otherwise, he may not be able to get through it." I kept my head down and said nothing.

　　Aunt Jiang assured again: "I guarantee this time for Lao Lin.

　　He won't be soft towards Chen Siyue anymore." I smiled at her and said, "Guarantees are useless.

　　If Aunt Jiang marries my dad and has another little brother, then I'll believe it." Aunt Jiang blushed instantly and hit me: "Oh, you child, I'm talking about serious matters with you." "Isn't this a serious matter?" I asked, tilting my head.

　　Xiao Manqing walked over speechlessly, "I'm telling you, Eighth Grade, stop teasing my mom.

　　We haven't settled the score with you yet." She grabbed my ear, "Hmph, secretly getting admitted, not telling us, you're so audacious, you even made me perform poorly in the exam!" I cried out in pain.

　　Aunt Jiang and her daughter burst out laughing.
