In her previous life, no one had ever attended a parent-teacher meeting for Tang Yuxin. Wei Tian came for his daughter, Sang Zhilan came for her daughter, and Yuxin merely existed transparently in their corner, no matter her academic performance or ranking, she was always outshone by Wei Jiani.
Wei Jiani's brilliance had cast her into the shadows, reinforcing Wei Tian and Sang Zhilan's contempt for her.
She sat there coldly, a distance and coldness emanating from her downcast eyes.
One after another, the parents arrived. The students sat at the back, while the parents took seats at the front.
Zhang Yindi clutched her clothes, her eyes filled with panic. With work to do in the fields back home and siblings to care for, her parents were absent, despite her tears and tantrums they did not show up.
She bit her lip hard, reminding herself to remember this. As soon as she left this village and her family, she would never come back.
