Song Tian had been very unhappy these days.
She was sent back to the An Family, and their house was so small that her room wasn’t even a third of the size of her room when she was with the Song Family. Though her parents tried their best to treat this daughter they hadn’t seen for over a decade well, the reality was they couldn’t satisfy her every need like the Song Family did.
She liked a piece of clothing and wanted to buy it, but Mother An refused once she saw the price, "Are you joking? Both her father’s and her monthly wages combined couldn’t afford such a piece of clothing.
If Song Tian barely managed to restrain herself over these things, then school was truly a torment for her.
She didn’t tell anyone that she had changed her name and still let people call her Song Tian.
Yet, some things couldn’t be kept secret, such as her now taking a taxi to school every day—she was unwilling to take the bus. A few friends were talking about some new releases from brands and were surprised when they asked her why she hadn’t bought them...
Especially since recently, rumors had been spreading that An Qinyu was actually the real Song Family noble lady, and she has already changed her name to Song Qinyu.
The fact that Song Tian had been sent back to the An Family was also being discussed behind her back.
Now, as she walked around the school, she always felt various glances on her, certain that people were whispering about her, and that those who had been jealous of her were now laughing at her viciously.
Song Tian felt like she was going to go insane.
What really broke her mental defenses was what happened after school that day.
Song Tian was cornered by several girls at the entrance to the school’s corridor.
This place was rather secluded, with few people coming by on normal days. She was on duty today, and had come here to take out the trash.
By this time, almost all of the other students had left, naturally, even fewer people would be here.
"What do you want?" she asked them, chin held high with arrogance.
Song Tian knew these girls; they all came from fairly well-off families. The ringleader had been ruthlessly mocked by her a while ago for wearing a knockoff, and they had been enemies ever since.
That girl looked at her with disdain and sneered, "Oh, Song Tian. Oh no..."
She paused, giving Song Tian a malicious smile, "Look at me, almost got the name wrong. It should be An Tian. Do you still think you’re the noble lady of the Song Family? So haughty. You were just lucky, getting taken by the Song Family and playing noble lady for over a decade. But now, your luck has run out. The real noble lady is home, and you, the pretender, are still trying to act all superior!"
"You!" Song Tian looked at her, trembling with anger. This was the wound she least wanted others to expose.
As long as it wasn’t spoken of, she could pretend that no one knew, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was still the noble lady, high above the rest.
"What about me? Did I say anything wrong?" The girl’s smile faded.
"You’re just an imposter from an ordinary family. You used to be so arrogant; now let’s see what you have left to be proud of!" Seemingly unable to contain her anger, she raised her hand and slapped Song Tian across the face.
"I’ve wanted to slap you for a long time. How did you mock me? Making me lose face in front of the whole class! I admit I was a coward; if you were the noble lady of the Song Family, I would have accepted it, I can’t afford to provoke you. But Song Tian, did you never imagine you’d have a day ?"
The girl looked at the clothes on Song Tian’s body, "These designer brands, they’re from when you were with the Song Family, right? You think you deserve them?"
