The day before the college entrance exam, a gang of street thugs stomped on my hand and broke it. After that, I couldn't lift anything heavy with either hand, and I missed the exam.
Later, the Xu family had the thugs sent to a juvenile detention center.
When I was feeling low, I accidentally overheard our family driver secretly reporting the situation to my older brother.
"The young lady isn't in a good state of mind, Young Master. Those thugs went too far. She won't be able to lift anything heavy for the rest of her life. Does that mean we've ruined her life?"
My brother's voice on the other end of the phone was cold and ruthless. My parents chimed in beside him.
"The Xu family can support her for the rest of her life, but Xiaoning can't. Xu Yan is better than Xiaoning in every way. Xiaoning has been with our family for over twenty years, and now we suddenly find out she's not blood-related to us because of a hospital mix-up back then. The little sister I've loved all these years turns out to be nothing to me. Xu Yan has to pay some price."
"Only if Xu Yan is left with a disability will Xiaoning feel better. Besides, Xu Yan has always kept Xiaoning in second place. We have to do something for Xiaoning. Uncle Wang, don't worry. Mom and Dad know all about this. The Xu family will take care of everything."
I stood in the corner, feeling as if there were a hole in my heart.
If that's how it is, then I don't want this family anymore.
