Bei Yutang once tried hard to learn some dancing, table manners, and grooming, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t compare to Zhao Bao’er’s perfection.
Every time she stood next to Zhao Bao’er, the only thing everyone noticed was her. Bei Yutang was like a dispensable existence, an existence that could not be on the stage.
Bei Yutang looked at the mother and daughter who were laughing happily in the living room, while she was sitting alone, like a transparent person.
When Bei Yifeng hurriedly walked into the living room, he saw this scene.
Mother and Bao’er chatted happily, while Yutang sat alone in the corner, watching them silently, with a look of longing and sadness in her eyes.
Bei Yifeng’s heart felt as if it was being grasped tightly in an instant by someone, and there was a trace of pain in his heart. He felt more and more sorry for Bei Yutang.
When he looked at Bei’s mother and Zhao Bao’er, his eyes changed. At that moment, he suddenly felt a little unhappy with Zhao Bao’er and a little unhappy with his mother.
“Mom.” Bei Yifeng interrupted their conversation.
Ling Yue raised her head and said happily: “Feng’er is back. Come and sit quickly.”
Bei Yifeng did not go to sit next to Bei’s mother, but he sat down next to Bei Yutang and asked with a smile: “Yutang, how were you at school today?”
“Same as before.” Bei Yutang replied calmly.
Bei Yifeng looked at the gifts on the table, “Mom, what did you buy?”
Only then did Bei’s mother remember the gifts she had brought for her children. She smiled and opened one of the brocade boxes. Inside was a string of Buddhas.
“This is a Buddhist bead consecrated by Master Pukong. Wearing it can keep you safe. I got one for each of you.”
Bei’s mother gave the other two brocade boxes to Bei Yifeng and Bei Yutang.
Bei’s mother gave the two brocade boxes on the table to Zhao Bao’er. Zhao Bao’er opened them pretending to be curious. Inside were a pair of high-quality mutton-fat white jade bracelets. The color was very suitable for her age.
Zhao Bao’er happily put it on, “Mom, look, doesn’t it look good?”
Bei’s mother smiled and said: “Well, this pair of bracelets is the most suitable for our baby. As soon as I saw this pair of bracelets, I thought of you. I knew you were the best match.”
When Bei Yifeng heard his mother’s words, he frowned slightly. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Bei Yutang’s lonely expression. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and asked Bei’s mother: “Mom, you can’t favor one over the other. Where are Yutang and I?”
Bei’s mother smiled and glared at him, “How could I miss you two?”
Bei’s mother brought the other two boxes in front of them. Bei Yifeng packed the box for Bei Yutang. Inside the box was a pendant, which was also made of mutton-fat white jade, but compared with Zhao Bao’er’s pair of bracelets, it was nothing.
The smile on Bei Yifeng’s face changed slightly, but no one around him noticed, “This pendant is very good, it is Yutang’s zodiac sign. I don’t know what this is.”
Bei Yifeng pinned his hopes on the second box. When he opened it, he found that the thing inside was not hers, but a man’s tie pin.
Bei Yifeng looked at Zhao Bao’er’s pair of jade bracelets and another pendant and then at Bei Yutang’s lonely pendant, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
In the past, when his mother brought gifts to the brothers and sisters, there were always a lot of gifts for his sister, while he only had a pitiful one or two, or even none. At that time, he didn’t care and felt that it was appropriate. His sister deserved their love.
But, now! The real daughter of the Bei family, his biological sister, only had this little thing, but that person who did not belong to the Bei family compared them to each other.
