These people may have already caused irreparable harm to Xu Mo.

Xu Xuehui once read a story about an apple farmer who conducted an experiment. During the early stages of apple development, he inserted a silver needle into the apple to examine its growth.

The results he obtained were terrifying.

Despite the silver needle being thin and seemingly unable to cause significant harm to the apple, every apple pierced by the needle underwent deformity and abnormal development.

And the apples that were not pierced by the needle, each grew large, round, and plump.

Thinking about what she had done, Xu Xuehui felt extremely uncomfortable.

“My elder sister is the person I admire the most! She’s my idol!”

“Tang Lei, take a look. This is my elder sister—elegant, beautiful, and talented. She graduated from Tsinghua University and topped the national college entrance examination!”

“Look at my elder sister’s certificates. They can’t even fit on one wall! All of these are the awards my elder sister has won!”

“My elder sister shook hands with the deputy mayor, with the chairman of Dongming Enterprise, with a singer, and with a female celebrity!”

“My elder sister gave speeches on stage, sharing her entrepreneurial journey. Many people admire her, realizing how outstanding she truly is!”

“Tang Lei, Gu Huanxi, if only I had one-tenth, no, one-hundredth of my elder sister’s excellence, that would be wonderful!”

“I hope I can become as outstanding as my elder sister!”

…

“This is music composed by my second elder sister. It’s so beautiful, I found it!”

“My second elder sister teaches at Xiahai University, the university I’ve always dreamed of attending. But instead, my second elder sister is a professor there!”

“My second elder sister held a concert, and many people attended. She’s just as outstanding as my elder sister!”

“My second elder sister’s sports car is so beautiful…”

Xu Xuehui couldn’t help but take out her phone and check the messages.

As she read through the updates, she finally understood where Xu Wanting’s despair came from. At that time, Xu Mo wanted to tell the world how outstanding his sister was, how knowledgeable and reasonable she was.

In fact, during this time, she had been avoiding looking at the messages, feeling unable to accept such a contrast.

Even when Xu Wanting talked to her about it, Xu Xuehui couldn’t bring herself to think about it too much. However, now, with Xu Mo suddenly becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination and confidently speaking in front of the reporters, Xu Xuehui finally realized that he might have indeed always looked up to them as role models.

He had now become just as outstanding as them, if not more so.

However, it seemed that something irreparable had already happened. In that moment, Xu Xuehui felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something significant was missing. A strong sense of sorrow surged uncontrollably from within.

“Sister, Xu Mo… he… he resents us so much! What have we done in these four years?”

She asked, tears welling up in her eyes, on the verge of crying.

Xu Wanting lifted her head, her eyes blurred with tears. Seeing Xu Xuehui also shedding tears, her heart ached even more.

With tear-filled eyes, Xu Xuehui uttered in heart-wrenching sorrow:

“We… we killed him with our own hands!”

“He grew up in an orphanage! He spent his childhood there! Suddenly, he gained six sisters and an incredibly wealthy family. He should have been so grateful, so excited, so proud…”

“He looked at us as if we were celestial beings, the greatest. But what have we done? We were all executioners who killed him!”

Hearing her words, Xu Wanting desperately suppressed her grief. “What Xu Mo wanted most wasn’t us!”

“Sister?” Xu Xuehui looked at her.

“Do you remember how Xu Mo used to take Mom’s clothes? He often slept in Mom’s room. Do you remember?” Xu Wanting’s voice trembled, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Xu Xuehui was stunned, her eyes widened.

“What he longed for most wasn’t us, it never was! He yearned for parents who could shelter him from the storm!”

“He’s an orphan!!!”

“Just an orphan!”

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Xu Wanting’s face.

“Always has been! Even when he came back to our family, he still was!”

“So, we’re all dead!”

Xu Xuehui trembled, turning back to see Xu Mo answering the reporters with a smile, happily saying they were all dead, looking content and composed… Xu Xuehui felt increasingly terrified!

This kind of despair, perhaps she couldn’t even imagine!
