Shen Chumo opened her eyes and looked around the familiar bedroom. Sunlight streamed through the light blue curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

The bedroom is small and simply furnished.

The single bed was placed against the wall, the quilt was folded neatly, and the sheets were a plain light gray without any patterns.

At the foot of the bed, there was an old suitcase, its worn edges telling the story of the journeys it had accompanied Shen Chumo.

To the right of the bed, a white desk stood next to the window, with only a few pens and an open notebook on it.

Several yellowed photos were pasted on the wall next to the table; they were group photos of Shen Chumo and her friends.

Shen Chumo walked to the group photo and gently stroked their faces. She had returned, returned to when she was seventeen.

This time, she will not let their tragedy happen again.

With a bang, the bedroom door was kicked open.

"What time is it? Why aren't you out cooking for us?"

The woman looked at Shen Chumo with a sarcastic expression. Shen Chumo slowly turned around and met the woman's gaze at the door.

The woman wore a red dress, with long, glossy black curly hair cascading over her shoulders. She had long, slender, arched eyebrows with slightly upturned ends and a slightly downturned mouth, exuding an innate arrogance.

This is Shen Chumo's stepsister, Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping crossed her arms, her sharp nails gleaming coldly, the dark red nail polish complementing her dress perfectly.

His eyes were like a sharp knife, scrutinizing Shen Chumo from head to toe. When he saw Shen Chumo's face, jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"What, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me tell you to cook? If you delay our lunch, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Oh, I'd like to know, how do you want me to feel good? Tell me."

Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow and looked directly at Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping was taken aback by Shen Chumo's sudden tough stance, and then her anger flared up again.

Jiang Ping raised her voice and cursed, "Shen Chumo, you've gone too far! How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll have Dad kick you and your wretched mother out!"

Shen Chumo curled her lips. In the past, she would have compromised for her mother, but now that woman held no weight in her heart whatsoever.

Shen Chumo's father died in an accident when she was young. Later, her mother, Xu Qin, remarried Jiang Ping's father, Jiang Haihe.

Jiang Haihe is a businessman with a good family background. His ex-wife died of illness, leaving behind only a son and a daughter. He dotes on his two children, especially his beloved daughter Jiang Ping, whom he grants every wish.

Everyone thought that Xu Qin and her mother had gotten a great deal by marrying Jiang Hai, and Xu Qin herself thought so too.

Ever since Shen Chumo and her daughter entered the Jiang family, Xu Qin has been trying her best to please Jiang Haihe, as well as the siblings Jiang Ping and Jiang Chen.

Even though she knew Shen Chumo had been bullied in this family, she would only ask Shen Chumo to endure it for her sake. The Shen Chumo of the past would have endured it.

In the end, she ended up being sent to another man's bed by Jiang Haihe. If she hadn't realized it herself, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

When Xu Qin found out, instead of helping or comforting her, she criticized Shen Chumo for being immature and said that she shouldn't have offended that man and ruined the family's good things.

Looking at the mother she once relied on so much, Shen Chumo felt utterly unfamiliar with her.

Shen Chumo's outstanding appearance brought her countless misfortunes, and even caused the deaths of all her friends. However, her family used her to gain resources and climb the social ladder step by step.

Shen Chumo had originally planned to kill all these beasts to avenge her friend, and then commit suicide.

But Tuanzi's unexpected appearance gave her another hope, so she signed a contract with Tuanzi without hesitation.

Now, just as she had envisioned, she has finally returned here.

Shen Chumo did not show a fearful expression as Jiang Ping had expected.

She sneered, "Then go ahead and see if your dad will kick us out or keep me around for the sake of his reputation and profits."

After all, kicking my mother and me out would completely ruin the image of a good husband and father he's cultivated over the years.

Seeing Shen Chumo's provocative look, Jiang Ping's anger was completely ignited. She could no longer care about her usual elegant facade, raised her hand and slapped Shen Chumo hard across the face, cursing as she did so: "You little bitch, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

However, before Jiang Ping's hand could fall, Shen Chumo swiftly grabbed it.

Shen Chumo's lips curled into a cold smile. With a forceful pull, Jiang Ping stumbled and was dragged into the room. Shen Chumo then closed the door behind her.

Before Jiang Ping could react, Shen Chumo kicked her in the back of the knee, and Jiang Ping cried out in pain, falling to her knees with a thud.

"Ah! Shen Chumo, you dare to lay a hand on me! You're dead!"

Jiang Ping screamed in terror, trying to struggle to her feet, but Shen Chumo held her down firmly, preventing her from moving.

Shen Chumo looked down at Jiang Ping with disdain in her eyes: "Jiang Ping, I'm going to settle accounts with you today for all the bullying you've done to me over the years!"

Jiang Ping and Shen Chumo are the same age and attend the same school.

At school, Jiang Ping employed a variety of methods to target Shen Chumo.

She would smear glue all over Shen Chumo's desk, so that Shen Chumo would get glue all over his pants as soon as he sat down;

They would also team up with other classmates to isolate Shen Chumo, putting disgusting bugs in her books and locking her in the bathroom alone overnight.

Later, because the boy Jiang Ping liked had feelings for Shen Chumo, she went even further, even bribing thugs to corner her in an alley.

Shen Chumo stepped on Jiang Ping's struggling hand, grinding her heel slightly. Jiang Ping's face contorted in pain as she screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Shen Chumo! You're crazy! Let me go!"

Shen Chumo raised her hand and slapped Jiang Ping's face repeatedly, "Slap! Slap!" The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the room.

Jiang Ping's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

She twisted her body frantically, trying to break free from Shen Chumo's control, but like a flying insect trapped in a spider web, she couldn't escape Shen Chumo's shackles at all.

How did this woman become so strong?

Jiang Ping continued to yell and curse, "You crazy woman, my dad won't let you get away with this! I'm going to tell my dad to kill you!"

Shen Chumo snorted coldly: "Your dad? He should have been punished long ago! Today I'll start with you!"

As she spoke, Shen Chumo took out Devil Pepper Powder from her spatial storage and fiercely sprinkled it into Jiang Ping's wide-open, terrified eyes.

Jiang Ping screamed in agony, her eyes stinging unbearably, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. She flailed wildly, knocking over the bedside table, which crashed to the ground with a thud, scattering shards of glass everywhere.

"Help! My eyes! Shen Chumo, I'm going to kill you!" Jiang Ping roared hoarsely, but all she got in return was Shen Chumo's cold, merciless laugh.

Shen Chumo pulled a jump rope from the wardrobe and tightly bound Jiang Ping's legs. He then tied her hands behind her back. Jiang Ping was like a bound lamb, helplessly rolling on the ground.

Shen Chumo opened her phone and pulled up a recording: "Brother Wang, you'll get your share of the profits after this is done. Beat her to a pulp, and make sure she's disfigured!"

A familiar voice came from the phone; it was Jiang Ping.

"Did you hear me clearly? This is evidence that you hired someone. If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll hand it over to the police immediately!"

Jiang Ping's pupils contracted sharply, and fear spread through her heart like a tidal wave.

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.
