She returned to her father with that person's child. She hoped to give birth to a boy, but unexpectedly, I was born instead. So, my mother vented all her anger on me. She felt that my existence ruined her life.
When I was young, no matter how hard I tried or how excellent I performed, my mother never saw me. In her eyes, there were only my sister and brother. I simply did not exist as her daughter. I remember once when I gave my mother a piece of cake I had made myself; she forcefully knocked it away. She scolded me, "You worthless child, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You just want to please me, right? Let me tell you, that's impossible."
I was both scared and wronged, crying as I asked her, "Mom, am I really your daughter?" She paused for a moment and said, "Of course you are."
"Then why don't you love me?"
She smiled mockingly and said, "Love? Do you think you deserve it?" From that moment on, I never dared to ask such questions again.
I kept trying to please her, but she treated me worse and worse. Holding a letter in my hand, I looked at my mother, tears silently falling: "Mom, I'm also your child!"
My mother's face turned pale with rage as she reached out to hit me: "What are you?" Her hand trembled uncontrollably and lacked strength. I stood there without moving, staring at her.
"Mom, you hate me because I'm too beautiful and remind you of your First Love, right?"
"You have always hated him for abandoning you, so you've taken it out on me, putting all your hatred onto me."
"When I was little, you always scolded me for being shameless, a worthless girl, a filthy wretch, even saying I was the reincarnation of a starving ghost."
"Are these insults aimed at me, or are they directed at yourself, or even at Dad?"
"Why do you hate me so much?"
Mom gritted her teeth and said, "Because I dislike you, that's why I hate you."
"Why do you dislike me?"
"There’s no reason; I just dislike you."
"I'm the illegitimate child you had with First Love, right?"
Mom's face turned pale as she kept backing away.
I pressed closer.
Mom shook her head repeatedly, her eyes red: "You are the child I brought back from the orphanage, you are the child I brought back from the orphanage."
I looked at her coldly: "Do you think I would still believe your words?"
Mom slapped me hard, but out of guilt and regret, she didn’t use much force.
She panted heavily, looking at me with a complicated expression.
Dad sighed nearby.
My sister kept her head down and said nothing.
My brother hurriedly grabbed those letters, flipping through them frantically while muttering, "Second Sister, this isn't true, it can't be true."
I looked at him and said flatly, "I'm not your sister; you don't have to call me that anymore."
My brother suddenly looked up, his eyes red: "Sister, this isn't true, right? You didn't get any compensation for the relocation and felt it was unfair, so you made up this story, right?"
I smiled slightly: "I really wanted to be your sister, but... I can't do it anymore."
I dragged my suitcase toward the door.
Xiao Li blocked my way and urged me: "Tingting, don’t act impulsively; let’s talk this out."
I looked at her with a sarcastic smile: "Weren't you always annoyed with me? Now that I'm leaving, shouldn't you be happy?"
Xiao Li's gaze flickered, and he stammered, "I... I dislike you, but I never thought about making you leave this home!"
I sighed, my tone turning desolate.
"Sister, I've seen through it all. In the past, I wasn't smart enough..."
