Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Qiu Yingying ran back to Andy's house, panting. When she opened the door, the atmosphere in the living room was still a bit tense. Qu Xiaoxiao was idly poking at the fruit on her plate. Seeing Qiu Yingying return, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you catch up? Did Sister Fan stop crying and wailing?"

Qiu Yingying shook her head, not mentioning the unpleasant things in Fan Shengmei's family—she understood Fan Shengmei's pride too well. The embarrassment and awkwardness hidden beneath the glamorous exterior were the trump cards that Fan Shengmei would protect at all costs. Unless Fan Shengmei asked her to speak up herself, she would never say it easily.

Once they were seated, she steered the conversation towards Wang Baichuan, her tone full of indignation: "Let's not talk about Sister Fan anymore, let's talk about Wang Baichuan, he's the epitome of a gigolo!"

These words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity. Guan Juer leaned forward and whispered, "Yingying, what do you mean by that?"

"How so?" Qiu Yingying sneered, her voice clear and bright. "Sister Fan ran errands for him, talking to clients, making proposals, building connections—she did everything she could. And he, on the other hand, didn't give her a single penny in compensation, and took all of Sister Fan's efforts for granted. What's worse, he even complained to Xiaoxiao before, saying that Sister Fan was taking advantage of him, spending his money and using his resources, portraying herself as a victim entangled with a gold digger!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she slammed her fork onto the plate with a loud clatter: "I knew something was wrong! He complained to me that Fan Shengmei was forcing him to buy this and that every day, and I actually believed him to some extent! So he was just using me as a pawn?"

As if suddenly remembering something, she scoffed, her tone full of disdain: "Those rubbish he bought for Fan Shengmei, I was disgusted just looking at them! The fabric and the stitching, they're obviously discounted outlet items. A few pieces together would cost at most a thousand yuan or so, who are they trying to fool?"

After a pause, Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something else, her tone becoming even more disdainful. She took out her phone and waved it: "And that BMW he drives around showing off every day, I already had Yao Bin check it out. It's rented! Only for three months, just to put on a show and fool Fan Shengmei. I bet Fan Shengmei is still completely in the dark, actually believing he's successful and drives a luxury car!"

"More than that!" Qiu Yingying immediately retorted, her tone even sharper. "With just that little bit of stuff, he managed to accomplish two things—first, he won over Sister Fan, and second, he got Sister Fan's labor for free! He made Sister Fan willingly run errands for him; his scheme was so well-known that everyone for miles around heard about it!"

After listening, Andy adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "This is a typical case of exploiting emotions to extract value, exchanging the greatest benefit for the least cost, gaining both people and free assistance."

Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she cursed, "What kind of man is this? A spineless coward! He lives off a woman and acts so self-righteous. It's one thing to lie to Sister Fan, but he also uses me as a pawn!"

Guan Juer sat to the side, listening to the two of them talk, her brows furrowing more and more. After a long silence, she spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of certainty: "I think I understand now. I feel that Wang Baichuan is really unreliable. He's too calculating and has no real feelings."

Qiu Yingying's heart sank suddenly, and memories of her past life flooded back unexpectedly. She remembered that time when she went on vacation to a mountain resort in the suburbs, Qu Xiaoxiao, in front of a group of people in the circle, casually said with a mocking attitude, "Sister Fan, your apartment in that upscale neighborhood must be expensive, right? I heard that your name isn't even on the list of owners in that area."

One sentence, like a sharp knife, instantly ripped apart the facade Fan Shengmei had desperately maintained. Her face turned deathly pale; her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word. Her carefully constructed "refined life" and "moderate achievements" crumbled in that instant, along with her deepest self-esteem, shattering into pieces. Qiu Yingying still remembers Fan Shengmei standing in the crowd, helpless like a child stripped naked, the light in her eyes gradually dimming until only utter humiliation and despair remained.

It turns out that Qu Xiaoxiao had seen through everything back then, but she chose the most hurtful way to expose her embarrassment to the light of day.

Qiu Yingying lowered her eyelashes, a pang of sadness rising in her heart. She felt that Fan Shengmei had suffered so much over the years. Even though she herself was a bitter girl, she still took such good care of everyone, and had always helped her and Guan Guan.

Back in room 2202 that evening, Qiu Yingying washed up and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She finally summoned the system sprite in her mind: "Duoduo, how can such disgusting things exist in this world?"

Duo Duo's electronic voice carried a hint of mechanical gentleness: "Host, are you referring to Wang Baichuan's scheming against Fan Shengmei?"

"It's not just him!" Qiu Yingying's voice suddenly rose and then quickly fell, her tone filled with sharp anger. "It's all because of Sister Fan's family's twisted patriarchal logic! Her brother is a bottomless pit, always causing trouble, asking for money, and sponging off his parents, yet his family treats him like royalty, selling everything they own to buy him a house and get him a wife. But what about Sister Fan? From childhood to adulthood, her parents always say, 'When you marry into your husband's family, you must be filial to your parents-in-law and be a virtuous and capable homemaker,' as if she wasn't born a daughter, but a daughter-in-law raised for someone else! But Sister Fan is clearly the most successful child in their family! She established herself in Shanghai through her own abilities, supporting her family with her own hard-earned money, and in the end, she doesn't even receive a sincere compliment!"

Duo Duo's electronic voice paused for a moment, then continued, clearly listing the injustices hidden in the corners: "According to the social cases collected by the system, the egregious phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters is far more than this. Some charitable organizations sponsor poor girls' education, but the donations are intercepted by the girls' parents and used to pay for their sons' tuition and build houses; some families would rather let their sons drop out of school and drift through life than let their high-achieving daughters continue their studies, saying only that 'no matter how much a girl studies, she will still get married'; and some girls have to take on all the housework from a young age and shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family early on, while their brothers can be waited on hand and foot and comfortably suck their sisters' blood."

Qiu Yingying felt a lump in her throat, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white. Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the redness in her eyes. She remained silent for a long time before speaking softly but with unwavering determination: "Duoduo, when I have enough ability, when I've earned enough money, I must do something. I want to establish a scholarship fund specifically to support girls who are forced to drop out of school because of the preference for sons over daughters; I want to study law, to see how to protect everyone's rights."

She turned to the side, gazing at the deep night outside the window, her voice full of strength: "I want to help many, many girls like Sister Fan, so that they no longer have to be bound by their families of origin, no longer have to live such a stifled life, and let them know that girls can also rely on themselves and live upright lives."

Duo Duo's electronic voice softened and became solemn: "Host, your wish is very meaningful, and the system will fully support you. When your abilities reach a certain threshold, the system can unlock task modules related to public welfare and assistance, providing you with resources and channels."

Qiu Yingying nodded, and the fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter in the quiet night.
