"You despicable person, how dare you steal my money!"

Just as I was about to leave to make copies of documents, I was startled by Xǔ Wēi's angry shout.

He threw down his phone and quickly walked towards me, reaching out to grab without hesitation.

I swiftly put the money into my pocket.

"Stop talking nonsense, this was just given to me by my mom!"

"Nonsense!"

"Grandma said, all the money in this house belongs to me, every penny you spend is stealing from me!"

When he said that, my anger surged even more.

Xǔ Wēi is the younger brother of my second uncle, as the only son in the Lǎo Xǔ family, he has enjoyed unconditional favoritism from our grandma since birth.

It's common for him to speak rudely to me.

To tease me, he even dared to throw a lit lighter onto my desk.

Who knew, that day my desk was piled with a lot of study materials.

The flames shot up three feet high, engulfing my entire forearm in an instant.

The intense pain made me panic, and in my attempt to dodge, I accidentally bumped into the electric fan behind me.

As the fan fell, it accidentally hit Xǔ Wēi, who was eagerly watching the commotion.

"You despicable person, are you trying to harm my grandson!"

"Cry all you want, what are you crying for! Do you think you can get into college just by reading a few books?"

"Bah!"

"Shameless thing, I see you're eager to seduce men!"

Grandma, who arrived upon hearing the commotion, scolded me like this.

My arm was covered in blisters, too painful to speak.

All I could see was Xǔ Wēi making faces behind grandma and the study materials on the table already turned to ashes.

With only two days left until the college entrance exam, anyone with a bit of sense knows how crucial last-minute study materials are for a high school senior.

I cried as I called my classmates for help, only when I pleaded did someone agree to sacrifice their study time to lend me materials for copying.

Even so, Xǔ Wēi still wanted to snatch the money I was using to make copies.

If it were any other time, I might have endured it.

But the college entrance exam was my only chance to change my life, I didn't want to endure it, and I couldn't!

"Let go! This is my money!"

Xǔ Wēi couldn't overpower me, he grabbed onto my wound and shouted in pain, "Grandma! Xǔ Pàn, that stinky girl is bullying me!"

I felt a pang in my heart.

As long as grandma was there, Xǔ Wēi could do as he pleased.

As expected, before Xǔ Wēi's words even fell, grandma's slap came towards me,

I stood there almost in despair, waiting for the pain to come.

But no one expected that slap to land fiercely on Xǔ Wēi's face!

"You scoundrel, how dare you speak to your sister like that!"

"Apologize to your sister immediately, or get out of this house!"
