"But you were part of the labor force and the main source of income for the Qiao family." Zhou Xing was in a dilemma. She seemed to be struggling with taking in what she had just heard and whether she should accept this truth that seemed to completely oppose what she had heard for the past ten years.
If Zhou Xing had grown up in a normal family with both parents by her side, she might not have been able to tell whom Qiao Dongliang favored among his two daughters from his words. But Zhou Xing was not such an innocent and foolish young lady.
She was only seventeen years old, but she had a deep understanding of how important money was to survive in society. At the same time, as inflation occurred, money would be worth less as time passed. As such, the most valuable things were usually other things, such as houses.
She had no mother, but she did have a birth father.
