Ouyang Qing attended a prestigious institution, whereas Ouyang Li was a student at a typical university of finance and economics. After graduating, she was an average employee at Sunshine Corporation, always keeping a low profile and avoiding public scrutiny.

“I'm back, Li. Why are you packing your bags? Are you leaving?” Ouyang Qi asked.

“Where's Mom?” Ouyang Li asked. “Isn't she out?”

“Yes, she is, but she remained in Flower City. Dad is missing, and she wants to stay to find out if the Nan family has taken him,” he explained.

She didn't say a word and continued packing.

“Where are you going, Li? You can't leave. Our family is falling apart. What will happen to Mom and me if you leave?” Ouyang Qi said.

“Mom and Dad have always favored Ouyang Qing more. Am I only important now during a critical situation?” Ouyang Li sneered.

What she said was the truth. In the Ouyang family, Ouyang Qi was incompetent, while Ouyang Li lacked beauty and accomplishments. Thus, their parents preferred Ouyang Qing, who was both beautiful and intelligent.

Ouyang Duo was permanently in Flower City, scheming to bring down the Nan family, leaving Ouyang Li to manage the affairs in Pearl City.

It became the norm for her to handle these matters as time passed.

She didn't utter a single complaint, and Ouyang Qing continued being the belle of the family.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that the Ouyang family had two daughters, only remembering Ouyang Qing.

“Li, I know you have made a lot of sacrifices for the family, and Mom and Dad are wrong to treat you that way, but you can't leave now,” Ouyang Qi advised.

“Why can't I? The Nan family resides in Flower City. How should I seek revenge for our family if I stayed in Pearl City?” Ouyang Li retorted.

“You're going to Flower City? To retaliate against the Nan family?” He was surprised.
