Stealing Your Heart

“Kindness? What kindness? Tell me,” the second daughter of the Gu family said bluntly. “A kind person wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Gu Bei was infuriated, but he didn’t know how to counter his sister’s statement.

After a while, he found the words to rebut her, “You are our father’s daughter, after all. You have an obligation to him.”

His sister snorted, “What obligation? Am I obligated to protect someone who doesn’t have a conscience?”

Mrs. Gu slammed her hand down on the table. “How dare you speak in such a rude manner! This is your father we’re talking about!”

The second daughter turned towards her mother and sneered, “Yes, he is my father, but has he shown me any love and care? All these years, I have never experienced any fatherly love from him, nor have I experienced any warmth from my family.”

Mrs. Gu was at a loss for words. Indeed, she and her husband had never really treated her as their daughter. After having a girl as their firstborn, they had wanted a boy as their second child. So when their second born turned out to be a girl again, they gave her away to Mrs. Gu’s brother.

Life as an adopted child wasn’t great for the second daughter.

“I couldn’t be bothered anymore. If you wish to recognize me as your daughter, go ahead. Otherwise, treat me as if you never gave birth to me at all. After all, you have never been involved in raising me,” the second daughter snapped and left in a fit of rage.

As she walked towards the door, she stopped to look at her younger sisters, who were sitting in the living room. “I won’t stop you if you want to get involved. If you wish to acknowledge me as your older sister, address me as sis when we meet. We can still be sisters then. If you do not wish to, then so be it. Consider us strangers who do not know each other. I don’t care anymore.”

“Sis…” one of her younger sisters tried to console her.

“Don’t bother. Even though we’re biological sisters who were conceived in the same womb, we cannot force each other to change our thoughts and actions. I’ve made myself clear. Those who do not recognize me as their sister can treat me as a stranger. We can act as if we don’t know each other when we meet,” the second daughter interrupted the fifth daughter.

Right after that, she walked away with determination.
