Her father wore a sorrowful expression, gazing at Rao Jie with regret. "You have nothing to say? How dare you compare yourself to your brother? Even if he doesn't study as well as you do, at least he has principles. You want to use him as a shield? How could I have a daughter like you? I wish I had never given birth to you!"
"Enough! If the child knows she was wrong and changes, that’s all that matters. No one else knows about this, so your reputation won’t be harmed," Rao Gang interjected, feeling that Huang Xiang's words were too harsh. Rao Jie’s eyes were red, but not from sadness—she was furious.
Taking a deep breath, Rao Jie said, "I... I don’t even know what to say anymore. Parents, your bias is astonishing. What on earth has my brother told you? You just blindly believe that I'm doing such things. Even though I didn't grow up with you, I am still your daughter! You didn’t even bother to ask me before hitting and scolding me. Am I really your biological child?"
Upon hearing this, Rao Gang seemed to see a glimmer of hope. "Jie Jie, what do you mean by that? Is this a misunderstanding?"
Huang Xiang's face turned red with anger as she replied, "You’re still saying this? Where have we shown bias? Oh, I see—you think we’re biased, which is why you went out and did something shameful? Can your brother really frame you?"
Rao Jie scoffed, feeling as if something heavy was pressing down on her chest, suffocating her remaining breath. "Not biased? Can you really only listen to my brother’s side of the story and treat me so harshly? Since returning home, have you ever given me a chance to speak? Mom, if you treat me like this, I truly wish you had never given birth to me. I’m begging you—please don’t give birth to me!"
When Rao Jie was in elementary school, her parents moved away with her brother, leaving her in the small town to live with her grandmother. She rarely saw her family throughout the year. Her grandmother took good care of her, so she didn’t feel anything was wrong and happily enjoyed her childhood.
It wasn’t until high school when her grandmother passed away that she was taken to the city for school. That was when she felt the clear divide between herself and her family.
The notion on television that blood ties create an inexplicable bond felt utterly untrue for her. It seemed all connections were merely obligations.
Having lost her closest relative in her grandmother, she naturally sought emotional support and wanted to get closer to her parents. However, it became painfully obvious that they favored her brother, which made her particularly jealous of him.
Later on, she realized it was only human nature; after all, her grandmother had favored her too and looked down on her brother. Even though their blood ties were the same, the time spent together and the hopes placed by adults altered parents' attitudes towards their children.
At that time, her parents held one belief: nurture the son more and provide him with more benefits because they would rely on him for support in old age.
The son was the true heir of the Rao family—the future pillar of the household. They believed it was only natural for them to favor him; after all, once their daughter married off and faced difficulties, wouldn’t she need her brother-in-law’s help to resolve them?
So a little bias was expected; even in today’s society, it was considered reasonable. As long as there was one son and one daughter in a family, most families still unconsciously hoped that all good things would go to the son.
This mindset was ingrained in their very bones. Perhaps things would change in the future, but for now, it remained unaltered.
