The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 926 - 359: My Sister Is Reborn (Part 3)

This kind of class is not just a single session; it would cost thousands after a semester.

If not for saying "Your child has talent, it would be a pity if they don’t learn," which parents would be willing to spend such a large sum of money?

It was this kind of commercial praise that He Tiantian used as a mandate, and even Mr. He and Mrs. He believed it without a doubt.

Perhaps He Tiantian is indeed a bit better than children without talent.

After all, in their previous life, Mr. and Mrs. He spent tens of thousands, finding tutoring classes for He Tiantian and buying various branded art supplies.

After an intensive three-month period, He Tiantian indeed passed the art entrance exam of a comprehensive art school and was successfully admitted to a local art academy with a score of three hundred in the college entrance exams.

Did He Tiantian settle down after getting into college?

Wrong!

He Tiantian was studying oil painting, a major that was more costly than expected, even though He Tianxin and the He Family anticipated this, they were still shocked.

Besides tuition fees, accommodation expenses, just the supplies for painting alone were painful financially.

He Tiantian also preferred using imported big brands, and any small tube of paint could cost hundreds.

And to get a full set, it would cost thousands.

The key is, this stuff is a consumable, needing replacement shortly.

There’s also linen, various varnishes, brushes, hiring models, etc., all added up, He Tiantian could burn through twenty to thirty thousand a year.

If He Tiantian truly could achieve something with her paintings, spending this money wouldn’t be in vain.

But He Tiantian used painting as a guise, taking the money to compete with the girls in the neighboring performance and music departments over food, clothes, and luxury goods.

After four years of undergraduate study, He Tiantian painted a bunch of ghost talismans that people couldn’t tell if they represented humans or demons.

Don’t mention selling them, even hanging them at home would invite ridicule.

They could only be piled in the storage room at home gathering dust, and even burning them for firewood was troublesome.

Yet He Tiantian had the audacity to stick her neck out and say, "This is abstract art, it’s an artwork, you mundane people don’t know how to appreciate it!"

Indeed, He Tianxin doesn’t have much artistic acuity and really couldn’t understand He Tiantian’s "art."

But she could do the math.

After four years of college for He Tiantian, even the rent from one building of the He Family wasn’t enough, and ultimately Mr. He painfully sold a shop.

...Of course, whether it was the rent from the village in the city or the shop that was sold, all of it was intended to be property split for He Tiantian by the parents.

Tianxin herself had spoiled it in advance, and as an elder sister, He Tianxin couldn’t really say much.

But He Tiantian’s extravagant journey didn’t end there.

Did you think going to college was the biggest expense?

Wrong again!

After graduating, He Tiantian did not become a Painter, nor could she find a job in her field, so she could only continue to rely on her parents.

The most annoying thing was that she continued to use painting as an excuse, claiming one day she needed to go abroad to some scenic spot for inspiration, and the next to attend an artist salon.

Plus the daily ghost talisman drawing—oh no, I mean art creation—which required various materials.

With all the expenses added up, even a modestly well-off family like the He Family found it hard to bear.

Mr. and Mrs. He began to shamefully dip into the rent and property they intended to divide for their eldest daughter, He Tianxin.

It got to the point where He Tiantian was in her thirties but still behaved like a child who couldn’t grow up, unable to take responsibility, not even achieving the basic self-sufficiency.

And the two buildings and two shops of the He Family were all eaten up by He Tiantian.

When He Tianxin got married, she was already quite old, and if not for having a decent job, she almost couldn’t have gotten married.

It’s not that He Tianxin wasn’t good enough, but anyone with eyes could see that her burdens were too heavy—a non-productive "artist" sister and parents who unconditionally favored the younger sister; the He Family was a bottomless pit!

Unless He Tianxin severed ties with the He Family and stopped dealing with the immature sister’s issues, no normal in-laws could take it.

Unfortunately, the past-life He Tianxin was too sensible, too filial, unwilling to let her parents suffer, and thus took on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family.

Even after marriage, she did not forget to help out her parental family.

Over time, her husband, in-laws, and even her children started to have opinions.

While others were helping their brothers, she was a Helping-Sister Demon!

If it could lift her sister up, enduring some hardship and criticism wouldn’t be in vain.

But the problem is, He Tiantian was a helpless Ah Dou and didn’t know gratitude, completely heartless.

He Tianxin realized her mistake, but it was too late; she had become estranged from her husband, and her children resented her as well.

When she died, she was lying alone on a hospital bed.

At the moment she closed her eyes, reflecting on all this, He Tianxin was filled with extreme regret.

She hated herself, hated her parents, and hated He Tiantian, the root of the trouble...
