"I started paying my tuition with scholarships in high school, and in college, I worked part-time to get through."
"Liu An is unambitious and wants to drop out; his family supports him, and he still isn't doing well. Can you blame me?"
The Stepmother shouted, "You are his sister; since you can't have children, you should take care of him and your Nephew!"
"People need to know gratitude and have a conscience!"
I coldly replied, "I have no conscience, and I won't have one in the future."
"I can live my life with Zhang Zhao without any obligations to support parents or siblings."
"I've supported you for ten years; that's enough."
"From now on, if you want a better life, you'll have to work for it yourself."
With that, I hung up the phone.
I covered my eyes as tears streamed down my face.
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
Zhang Zhao stood at the doorway, looking puzzled. "Cece, what's wrong?"
I shook my head. "I'm fine."
Zhang Zhao walked to the bedside and reached out to touch my forehead.
"You're not running a fever."
"Why are your eyes so red?"
I threw myself into Zhang Zhao's arms and held him tightly.
"Zhang Zhao, I'm okay."
"I just feel so lucky to have you."
Zhang Zhao squatted in front of me and patiently wiped away my tears.
In that moment, I realized that family is not defined by blood relations.
Family is about supporting each other, relying on one another, caring for each other, and loving one another.
It is not about taking without giving, hurting, or betraying.
Since then, I have never shed a tear for those who are not worth it.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I saw An Xin, my brother's sister-in-law and my "best friend."
"Xinxin, what are you doing here?"
An Xin smiled and said, "I heard from your brother that you were going to have surgery. I was worried about you, so I wanted to come see you."
I frowned. "My brother told you?"
An Xin nodded. "Yes."
I looked at her, feeling a chill in my heart.
In my past life, after my surgery, An Xin had never come to visit me. She hadn't even made a single phone call to check on me. However, after I was discharged, she appeared at my house with my brother, pressuring my husband to write a will. It was then that I realized An Xin and my brother had been together for a long time.
An Xin's ex-husband was introduced by my brother, and after they got married, it was always my brother supporting them. An Xin and my brother were a pair of shameless lovers.
I sneered inwardly; An Xin and my brother truly were a match made in heaven. They were both so disgusting.
I stared at her and suddenly laughed. "Xinxin, are you really here to see me?"
An Xin was taken aback for a moment. "Of course!"
"Then why didn't you come when I was in the hospital? Why wait until I was discharged?"
An Xin awkwardly smiled. "I... I've been a bit busy lately."
I nodded. "Oh, I understand."
"You were afraid that if I died, you wouldn't get to see me one last time, so you wanted to see me in the hospital before that happened, right?"
An Xin's expression turned very ugly.
"Cece, why are you saying that?"
"I'm really worried about you, which is why I came to the hospital to see you."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your brother."
I smiled and said, "I believe you."
"Of course I do."
"Xinxin, since you have such a good relationship with my brother, how could you possibly harm me?"
An Xin's expression darkened further.
I looked at her and sneered inwardly.
"Xinxin, since you and my brother are so close, could it be that my brother suggested you follow me to the hospital?"
"What are you talking about?" An Xin's face changed dramatically. "I... I don't know what you're saying."
"Cece, I have something else to attend to, so I'm leaving now. Let's catch up later."
With that, she turned and walked away.
I chuckled lightly, "Take care, no need to see me off."
Zhang Zhao frowned slightly. "Who is she?"
I replied casually, "A friend."
Zhang Zhao asked in confusion, "A friend?"
"Why do I feel like she's a bit strange?"
I smiled again, "She is a little odd."
"But it's fine; we won't see each other much in the future."
Zhang Zhao nodded, "Yeah."
