Gu Jie laughed even louder.

Looking at her with disdain, he said, "Are you an idiot? Do you believe such nonsense?"

I came to my senses and rushed over to grab Xue Mengyao's collar.

"Why do you treat me like this?

"After our parents passed away, I voluntarily dropped out of school to take care of you, working three jobs a day to provide you with a generous living allowance.

"But you ended up hurting me instead?"

This is not only my current question, but also the question from my past life.

I just can't understand.

Why is it that I put in so much effort for Xue Mengyao, but she doesn't appreciate it and instead pushes me into the abyss?

At first, Xue Mengyao kept her head down and didn't answer.

But when I pressured her, Xue Mengyao spoke in a fit of pique, "So what? Our parents liked you the most, and they gave all the money in the family to you.

"That money was originally meant for me.

"You were just using our parents' money to support me, don't try to portray yourself as so great, working three jobs...

"If it wasn't for going to celebrate your birthday, how could our parents have died?

"If our parents were still alive, I would be living in a wealthy environment, being pampered by them and having endless pocket money.

"It's all because of you, you've ruined my life!"

Xue Mengyao raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred, staring at me intently.

I shuddered and took a few steps back.

After a moment, I chuckled lightly and said, "Xue Mengyao, it's true that our parents had a car accident on the way to get the cake, but you insisted on eating from that particular store. Have you forgotten about that?"

There's a cake shop downstairs in our community.

Xue Mengyao didn't like it and wanted our parents to buy from a place several kilometers away.

On the way there, they had the car accident. I was saddened, but I never blamed Xue Mengyao as it was just an unfortunate accident.

I never expected Xue Mengyao to evade the truth and instead attribute the cause of the accident to me.
