The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

A long sword appeared out of nowhere and knocked the fruit knife out of Shi Youyou's hand with perfect aim.

Su Ran approached Shi Youyou step by step, carrying a kettle full of cold water.

“I’ve been thinking about whether you did it on purpose back then. A five-year-old girl, how could you know to empty all the drinking water from the water dispenser on the day the water was cut off at home, put it in the kettle, and turn on the gas stove and keep boiling it? I think you must have envisioned three ways I would die that day: scalded to death, burned to death, or suffocated by gas poisoning.”

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was only five years old then. How could a five-year-old girl have such malicious thoughts? You had a fever at the time, and I just wanted you to drink more hot water," Shi Youyou firmly denied.

"What a convenient 'drink more hot water' advice! Can't the water dispenser boil water itself? Why go through all that trouble to boil a kettle?"

"Su Ran, no matter what you think, I just want to personally get closer to you." Shi Youyou's eyes were full of sincerity. "If my actions back then caused you any misunderstanding, I apologize to you. I'm sorry."

"If you can pour this pot of boiling water over your head and from head to toe, I'll forgive you." Su Ran's lips curled into a charming smile.

Shi Youyou watched with surprise and doubt as Su Ran walked over carrying an electric kettle.

In her moment of panic, she turned around abruptly and seized the opportunity to rush towards the dormitory door!

As soon as the locked door was opened, the elegantly dressed Mr. and Mrs. Shi Zheng and their nanny stood at the door carrying shopping bags.

Shi Zheng looked displeased: "Youyou, why didn't you open the door when I called you?"

Wang Xiaoxia asked with concern, "What happened to your hair? It looks like a bird's nest, and it's much thinner. You look ten years older."

As soon as Shi Youyou saw Wang Xiaoxia, it was as if she had found her pillar of support. Her aggrieved mood surged up, and she cried heartbrokenly, pointing her trembling finger towards the sink.

"Su Ran has gone mad! She's going to throw boiling water in my face!"

Just then, Su Ran came out carrying a kettle of hot water.

Wang Xiaoxia stood in front of Shi Youyou, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

But all I saw was Su Ran beaming with joy; her dazzling face resembled that of a fairy from a painting.

"You've come at the perfect time. The water will be boiling in a few minutes. Have a cup of tea before you go."

Su Ran placed the kettle neatly on the power outlet, turned on the power, and a unique roaring sound of boiling water filled the room.

Shi Youyou felt a chill run down her spine, her palms were sweating, and her eyes were filled with tears and fear. She looked utterly disheveled.

"Dad, I don't want to share a dorm with Su Ran, she'll kill me!" She looked at Shi Zheng for help.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zheng rejected him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? She's your sister! Shouldn't they look after each other?" The last sentence was ostensibly addressed to Shi Youyou, but it was actually meant for Su Ran.

Before she could finish speaking, Su Ran politely corrected her, "My mom only has one daughter, me. She doesn't have time to have an illegitimate child, thank you."

Su Ran's words were tantamount to cursing everyone on the spot.

Shi Zheng was speechless with anger at her words, his beard twitching and the muscles on his face twitching.

He slammed the dormitory door shut, looking like a strict father scolding his child.

“Su Ran, I am your biological father. Thirteen years ago, you were still surnamed Shi.”

"Is having the surname Shi something to be proud of? We're not from any noble family, why are you burning incense for us?" Su Ran rolled her eyes.

"Su Ran! You can't say that!" Shi Zheng suppressed his agitation and said sternly, "I admit that I am not a good father. I have made a huge mistake in the past thirteen years. I shouldn't have sent you to the countryside to recuperate when you needed me the most, which caused an irreparable rift between us. Can't you give me a chance to make amends?"

“Mr. Shi, I’m past the age where I need a father.”

With a 'pop', the kettle tripped the circuit breaker and the keep-warm light came on; the water had boiled.

Su Ran took out a few cups from the cabinet, poured a cup of tea, and blew on the scalding hot water.

Shi Youyou was afraid that the tea might accidentally spill on her, so she hid far behind Wang Xiaoxia.

To ease the tension, Wang Xiaoxia brought a chair for Shi Zheng, who sat up straight, adopting the demeanor of a boss in the girls' dormitory.

"In two months, you will be an adult. We can hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you at the largest hotel in Kyoto and invite all the celebrities in the area who are considered to be of high status to the banquet. Your status will rise accordingly and you will be no less than that ghost voice."

In one sentence, his wolfish ambitions were exposed.

"Heh, do you still remember that next month is my mother's death anniversary?" She raised her eyebrows, her words as sharp as a knife.

“Your mother has been dead for thirteen years. You know that her death was caused by someone else. That Ye Zi is currently in prison and being interrogated. Why are you still bringing this up? This matter is long over!”

Shi Zheng's face was flushed red, whether from anger or anxiety, and his eyes were wide open like copper bells.

"Oh? Is that so? I don't think so," Su Ran sneered.

"What? Do you think I would do something to my wife?" He frowned and stared solemnly at this unfamiliar daughter.

"I didn't say that, it's your own opinion." Su Ran shrugged casually, hiding the sharpness in her eyes.

"In short, never talk about this in front of me again, or your aunt will be unhappy."

“I’m happy if Auntie is unhappy. Aren’t you going to make it up to me? I’d be happy to make it up to you by being unhappy.”

"No matter what, I gave you life!" I can't sit in this chair anymore.

"You took my life when I was five years old. Every day since then, I've earned it myself! It has nothing to do with you!"

If we're going to break off relations, we should break them completely!

"Su Ran, we didn't come here to argue with you. Don't be so unreasonable every time we meet." Shi Zheng tried to soften his serious expression and appear more amiable.

He opened the shopping bag. "Look, I bought you a lot of snacks, all of which were your favorites when you were little. You must not have had them for a long time while you were in the countryside."

He had investigated Su Ran's life; for a time, she and that old woman spent their holidays collecting garbage and selling recyclables, unable to even afford a bag of spicy strips. All these things must make her happy.

Hmph. Su Ran sneered inwardly.

She walked over and took the shopping bag.

Just as Shi Zheng thought she was moved by his tenderness, Su Ran picked up a shopping bag full of snacks and tossed it lightly, scattering the bag and snacks all over the ground at Shi Zheng's feet.

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

Shi Zheng's face first stiffened, then turned into a ferocious rage. He was about to slap Su Ran's beautiful face with his large, fan-like hand when it was stopped by a tremendous force.

In an instant, two solid, crisp cracking sounds rang out.

Su Ran slapped her own father twice.

The crowd stared in disbelief at the murderer who had slapped them.

With her hands on her hips and her head held high, she said arrogantly, "I just threw the bag down, and you couldn't help but think of domestic violence? You want to make it up to me? Pshaw, you don't even believe that yourself."

"Pfft—" Shi Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and his steps faltered. If Wang Xiaoxia hadn't been supporting him, he would have definitely fallen to the ground.

"Su Ran, you've gone too far—"

Before Wang Xiaoxia could finish speaking, two more crisp 'slap' sounds rang out, and her face was slapped to the side.

"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to interrupt?"

"Su Ran, you—" Shi Youyou was about to speak up for her mother when she saw a flash of white light in front of her.

'Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa'

"Don't you think you've plucked enough hair?"

Shi Youyou covered her face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and couldn't hold back her tears. She had never suffered such a grievance in front of her loving parents.

“Speak louder, and I’ll open the door so everyone can see your face, which is swollen like a loaf of bread.”

The crying stopped immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Youyou's luggage, including the four-piece bedding set that had been laid out on the bed, was all thrown at her face.

"Although I really want to play you to death in the same dorm, I'm afraid you'll poison me in the dorm, so please get out."

Shi Youyou was so angry that she was trembling all over!

Originally, they waited for their parents to come so they could humiliate Su Ran, but instead they were the ones who were tormented.

A little butterfly flew in from outside to deliver a message.

[Host, your counselor is here]

So fast?

The Shi family witnessed Su Ran undergo a dramatic transformation right before their eyes.

Su Ran tore her sleeves and trouser legs, messed up her hair, and her eyes turned red instantly, with large tears falling one after another.

What is she doing?

Who's bullying whom here?

Immediately afterwards, I heard a sound coming from outside.

"Someone reported that there was a fight in your dorm. What exactly happened?" A serious-looking woman dressed in a suit skirt walked over.

The counselor first saw Shi Zheng's mouth with a trace of blood, then Shi Youyou's face which had been slapped into a pig's head, and finally saw Su Ran inside, crying with tears streaming down her face.

The counselor felt sorry for her at that moment.

"What's wrong with this student? Why is he crying like that?"

Su Ran sobbed and threw herself into her counselor's arms, pointing at the three members of the Shi family and complaining, "Waaaaah, teacher, they bullied me."

The Shi family never expected that Su Ran would actually make things up on the spot!

"Teacher, look how badly my daughter has been beaten, how could it possibly be hers—" Wang Xiaoxia was about to accuse Su Ran when she was interrupted by Su Ran's heart-wrenching sobs.

“Teacher, one of them is my stepmother, one is my stepsister, and one is my biological father who abandoned me for thirteen years.” Su Ran’s eyes were full of bitterness as she pointed at the Shi family, mimicking Wang Xiaoxia’s trembling fingers.

She cried out in anguish, "There are three of them, and I'm all alone. I'm no match for them at all, sob sob sob sob." Su Ran's sobs were heartbreaking, enough to break anyone's heart.

Finally, with an expression of unspeakable pain, he said in a deep voice, "I recently filmed an advertisement that became popular. They... they saw my value and wanted to exploit me. They even bribed the school leaders to let my stepsister live with me. On the surface, they were taking care of me, but in reality, they wanted to trap me."

She held up her arm for her counselor to see, “Teacher, I’m so sad. I never thought my family would be so cruel. Look at my sleeves and pants, they’ve torn them to shreds. I don’t even have many clothes.”

The counselor looked down and saw that the sleeve had been torn open from the shoulder, revealing a section of her snow-white arm. Her work pants were also torn to shreds. How could such a beautiful girl, who looked like a fairy, be bullied like this!

The counselor looked at the family members and their expressions changed.

The officer began scolding, "This is a school! How can you treat children like this? You've neglected them for thirteen years, and just because they're pretty, you want to snatch them away. What kind of parents are you?"

"Teacher, don't listen to her! That bitch is full of lies!" Wang Xiaoxia was so angry that she was pulled back by Shi Youyou. Only then did she realize that she had let something slip.

Upon hearing the word "bitch," the counselor became even more certain that she was a vicious stepmother.

Thinking about what kind of life such a beautiful girl must be living under her stepmother's care, I felt both heartache and anger.

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If this student really did bribe school leaders to get in, I will give him a warning! If he dares to do it again, I will deduct his credits!” The counselor had some connections and was not afraid of offending anyone.

"Teacher, I am her biological father." Shi Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed a mouthful of blood. "Teacher, we just haven't seen our daughter for a long time. It just so happens that they both got into the same university, and we wanted to help them get to know each other better."

"To foster a relationship? Did you ask the people involved for their opinions?"

Su Ran shook her head frantically, choking back tears as she said, "No, the last time they took me back, they made me sleep in a six- or seven-square-meter storage room, and they didn't give me any food every day." She was as pitiful as could be.

Upon hearing this, the counselor felt sorry for Su Ran and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the teacher is here, they won't dare to do anything to you."

"Teacher," Shi Youyou called to her counselor, introducing herself, "I'm Shi Youyou, a freshman in the piano department. You must have heard of me, right?"

Time flies?

She seemed to have heard of this name before.

I heard she was a female student whom Mr. John highly regarded.

But what can we do?

If your character isn't up to par, you still won't get any benefits from her.

"So?" the counselor asked, following Shi Youyou's words.

"So, teacher, don't you think you, as a school counselor, have been somewhat biased in handling this matter? Mr. John often judges his students by their character. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Mr. John." Shi Youyou's tone was resolute.

The counselor looked at her with a suspicious gaze.

Shi Youyou is quite capable; as long as she mentions Teacher John, she believes this young counselor will give her some face.

But what she didn't expect was that the counselor only pondered for a few seconds.

He then continued, "I have a general understanding of the whole process. Shi Youyou, if you want to stay in the dormitory, that's fine, but I will no longer let the two of you live together. Let me tell you, no matter which school leader you bribe, it won't work here!"

"Teacher, no, they are two sisters, how can we separate them?" Shi Zheng protested, after exchanging several bottles of aged wine for them.

"I don't care. I'm giving you ten minutes to pack your things and leave here immediately."

The counselor didn't give them any chance to explain, and spoke harshly to them, but instead gently comforted Su Ran, who was faking her tears!

They were coughing up blood and had swollen faces; they clearly looked much worse off than this fake-crying bitch, okay?
