章 115: Exposed

The sound in Zhao Jia's mind was deafening.

Her thoughts were consumed by the realization that the truth had come out—that everyone knew her parents were mere farmers.

Zhao Jia's family background was impoverished. When she was a child, a wealthy family had arrived in her village, claiming that the male head of the household was ill and needed to recuperate in a picturesque location.

They built a small villa and had a car.

Their daughter, the same age as Zhao Jia, attended the village's elementary school.

Zhao Jia watched enviously as the girl wore beautiful dresses every day, adorned like a little princess, and enjoyed endless snacks. Zhao Jia felt bitterly envious.

She could only afford one new outfit a year and had never tasted the luxury of snacks.

In comparison to this wealthy family, Zhao Jia increasingly looked down upon her own parents and secretly resolved to escape this life of poverty.
