The commotion in the living room pulled Wei Yan back to reality. She looked at the calendar on the desk in a daze.

Today was 15 July 1997.

She stood up and opened the door to look out. The people arguing in the living room were her parents, Wei Gang and Li Hai.

“Mom,” she murmured, her eyes welling up with tears.

Her mother was still alive and she had actually been reborn at the age of 16, when the middle school examination had just ended!

Wei Yan was excited. She thought that she must have suffered too much and endured too much injustice, so God gave her a second chance. This time, she had to protect her mother well and prevent her ingrate brother and Song Chen from taking advantage of her!

She pushed open the door and looked into her father’s eyes. “Dad, I’m not fooling around with hooligans. My grades have always been very good. I’ve been first in the cohort twice. It’s just that you’ve never cared enough about me to notice.”

Seeing her daughter come out, Li Hai immediately walked over with heartache.

Did Yanyan hear everything just now?

“Yanyan, that’s not what your father meant. He’s just so angry because he’s worried that you’ll learn bad things. He still cares about you. You’re his only daughter. How can he not care about you?”

Li Hai tried her best not to make Wei Yan sad.

Wei Yan looked at her mother, who had shouldered all the grievances herself, and her heart ached.

In her previous life, she had only cared about obtaining her father’s approval. She had never been grateful towards her mother, who had silently contributed. In fact, in order to attract her father’s attention, she deliberately hung out with a few hooligans to get her father to pay more attention to her.

However, after her rebirth, Wei Yan understood everything. Her father didn’t love her, and it had nothing to do with her. It was only because she was a girl, which meant that in her father’s eyes, she was a good-for-nothing!

As for her father, he had already cheated on her mother the year they got married. Less than three months after her mother died, her father brought the mistress and her son home.

In her previous life, she even foolishly thought that adult matters had nothing to do with children, so she had always doted on her half-brother, Wei Mu.

Now that she thought about it, her father already had a son he really valued, so how could he care about them?

No matter what she did, in Wei Gang’s opinion, it was all wrong.

Seeing that Wei Yan actually dared to glare at him, Wei Gang was furious. He picked up a wooden stick and reprimanded, “How dare you glare at me? Why? Do you dare to go against your father?”

Before Wei Yan could speak, Li Hai quickly said, “That’s not what Yanyan meant. You know that Yanyan is in her teens now, so it’s inevitable that she oversleeps a little. Besides, isn’t the child up now? Alright, don’t be calculative with Yanyan.”

Wei Gang thought about how his mistress, Li Lin, was still waiting for him, so he snorted and didn’t argue with Wei Yan.

Seeing that Wei Gang had just taken his bag and left, Li Hai advised Wei Yan, “Yanyan, which parent in this world doesn’t care about his child? Your father cares about you, but he’s a little impatient because he has a lot of things to do in the factory now. You have to understand. Your father is earning money for our family.”

Li Hai’s eyes were filled with love. Even though she was scolded by Wei Gang every day, she still spoke up for Wei Gang. In the end, Wei Yan refrained from revealing her father’s affair.

If she said it rashly now, her mother definitely wouldn’t be able to take it.

Wei Yan nodded. “Okay, I understand. Mom, I’ll listen to you.”

Then, she suppressed her emotions.

Her father had made quite a lot of money. The factory’s benefits weren’t bad, but the money he earned wasn’t given to his family at all. Instead, it was all given to his mistress, Li Lin.

What was even more ridiculous was that Li Lin was her mother’s cousin. Li Lin’s parents had died in a car accident. Her mother’s family took pity on her and adopted her. They even provided her with education.

Unfortunately, Li Lin was disappointing. After junior high, she stopped attending school. Then, she started working and eventually moved out of Li Hai’s house.

When Li Lin returned to her hometown, she was already pregnant. She refused to reveal the child’s father’s identity and had even been mocked by her fellow villagers back then.

Speaking of which, when Li Lin became pregnant, she was still in her mother’s womb.

Wei Yan sneered. In that case, her father had cheated on Li Hai since long ago. Her half-brother was only two months younger than her, but she had never thought of such an obvious problem in her previous life.

“Yanyan, I’ll show you the new clothes I bought for you. They’re high-quality clothes that aren’t even seen in our town. You’ll definitely like them.” Li Hai suddenly grabbed Wei Yan’s arm and smiled mysteriously.

She knew that her daughter was currently in her adolescence. Children of this age liked to wear beautiful clothes. As a mother, she helped her daughter keep an eye out for nice clothes. She ran a clothing store to begin with, so when the stock came this time, she kept a few nice clothes for her daughter.

Wei Yan looked at her mother, whose eyes were filled with warmth, and suppressed the surging hatred in her heart. She smiled at Li Hai. “Alright, Mom. I’ll go with you.”

She had to take revenge on that scumbag and her scumbag father, but she also had to protect her mother from getting into a car accident and help her mother’s clothing shop become popular. She had to let her scumbag father regret it!

While Wei Yan was thinking about these matters, Li Hai felt happy since her daughter had not been this obedient in a long time. She pulled Wei Yan to the clothing store.

After Wei Yan followed Li Hai into the clothing store, she realized that many of the clothes in the clothing store were overlapping. Only the top piece of clothing could be displayed to customers.

Wei Yan frowned slightly. In this era, everyone sold clothes like this and the customers were also used to choosing them like this. The customers searched through the racks one by one and chose their favorite styles. If they could find beautiful clothes during this period of time, they would be pleasantly surprised. Many young women liked the feeling of thrifting.

However, this method wasn’t beneficial to the business of the clothing shop. Some customers would habitually look at the clothes at the front of the rack first to determine if this shop’s clothing fashion was their style. Sometimes, those nice-looking clothes would be further down the rack and the customers would miss them.
