Chapter 34 Spending $30,000 For A Spot
Investing thiny thousand dors to secure a spot. Ang’s attention was immediately drawn to Fanny
Gradually, anger and embarrassment welled up within her.
A hint of coldness shed in Zacharias eyes. “Ang, do you still consider me your brother? Is there
still sense of family in your eve*
Upon hearing his words, the lifted her gaze and looked at him.
For some reason, Zacharias felt Ang’s gaze shift from initial hatred to unfamiliarity and distance.
“Zacharias, do you even see me as your sister? Isn’t Fanny the sister you love and acknowledge?” she
said lightly.
After speaking. Ang left with Jessica.
While observing her departing figure. Fanny’s eyes flickered briefly, and there was a momentary
silence.

A few secondster, she tugged at Zacharias‘ sleeve, lowered her head, and said with teary eyes,
Zacharias, it seems Ang mes me. That’s why she’s acting this way. Should I give up the speech
slot?”
Seeing Fanny ming herself, affection flooded through him.
He patted her head and gently said, “She startled you just now, didn’t she? If she wants to act out, let
her. Don’t worry about these things. Just focus on preparing for your speechpetition.”
“The Kins Family has never mistreated her. They provided her with food, clothing, and ensured her
well- being. Yet, she remains unsatisfied. That’s her problem.”
“Zacharias, Mom and Dad spent so much money to help me secure this spot. I’ll definitely strive to rank
first and live up to their expectations!” Fanny blinked, nodded in agreement, and then nced at the
broken cake on the ground with a regretful expression. “It’s a shame the little cake got ruined. It was
the one you went through trouble to bring.”
“Do you like it? I’ll buy you another er.”
Thanks!” Fanny sweetly smiled and yfully stuck out her tongue. “You’re the best.”
He escorted her into the ssroom and nned to continue walking to buy another cake. However, in
hist thoughts, the image of Ang defending Jessica involuntarily surfaced.
“If I hear anyone badmouthing Jess again, don’t expect me to be polite!”
Ang looked fierce, like a little wolf.
The scene felt familiar. At that time, she had just returned home at the age of ten, appearing like a
seven or eight–year–old child due to her petite stature. Meanwhile, her peers had already grown sturdy
bodies and were half a head taller than her.
Back then, he was often sick and frail and wasn’t epted by the children who yed outside. When
he was left alone, they openly bullied him.

“Hey, sickly dude, hope you die soon!”
He’d get angry but had no other choice. Fighting back always led to losing, so he learned to endure it
publicly and retaliated fiercely in private.
Then came Ang.
She was fierce, like a small, thin, but untamed wolf.
“Anyone bad–mouthing Zacharias, don’t expect me to be politel
She was so thin that her bones protruded, and just bumping into her could cause pain. The other kids.
avoided messing with her.
Because she was often around, gradually, no one dared to provoke him anymore.
After scaring off the troublemakers, Ang seemed like a tamed little girl. She stayed close and often
called out to him in a childish voice.
“Hey, Zacharias…”
Zacharias halted his steps and frowned in disgust.
Why am I thinking about her? Angcked manners from a young age. It’s not surprising that the
family who mistakenly raised her weren’t good people either. It’s no wonder she remains wild even after
being brought into the Kins Family. Despite their efforts to discipline her for years, they can’t change
her crude and rebellious nature, he mused.
Fortunately, they made a mistake in the beginning. If it were Fanny, who was raised by that family, he
would be heartbroken.
Thinking of her, Zacharias smiled and instantly felt less tired. He quickened his pace, leaving behind
the memories.
On the other side, Ang emerged with Jessica and entered a small study room in the school library.
Jessica reflected on the recent incident. Ang had actually thrown a book at Zacharias for her sake. It
had startled her.
Zacharias had been a sickly child and had received excellent care from the Kins Family.
Ang, even more so, had consulted medical books and studied medicinal cuisine, all in an effort to
improve Zacharias‘ health.
She had gone to great lengths for the sake of her physically frail brother. Her protective nature
extended to everyone she cared about, as if she were safeguarding their lives. In the past, when she
was concerned about the Kins Family, she couldn’t even tolerate a casualment from her best
friend.
But unfortunately….
Those people simply didn’t deserve her protection!
Now, Ang had finally regained her rity. She had even stood up to Zacharias in a fight to defend

herself. This had deeply moved Jessica.
“You actually fought Zacharias for me. He’s probably so angry that he needs to be hospitalized! Ang,
1- dere you my half–sister from another mother!”
In an instaci, Ang’s initially mncholic mood disappeared. She chuckled, opened a book, and “Did
you ask our dad? Does he know he has another daughter who isn’t rted by blood?”
Jessica grinned. “If my dad knew that he had such a gentle and beautiful daughter, he’d be overjoyed!”
Dragging his weary body, Zacharias reminisced about how Fanny loved indulging in small cakes and
had thoughtfully brought some just for her. Had he forgotten that Ang was also present?
Despite being his sister, even by blood, he treated herpletely differently.
Suddenly, another thought crossed Jessica’s mind. She snorted. “Do you know how Fanny secured her
spot in the speechpetition?”
Ang nced at her. “Do you know?”
Jessica nodded with a disdainful expression, saying. “Zacharias paid over ten thousand dors to
acquire it from the neighboring university. There were two avable slots, one of which was reserved
for a financially challenged student. When that student heard the price, they readily agreed. Of course,
to negotiate with the other university, Zacharias had to pay an additional ten thousand. He spent almost
thirty thousand just for one slot. And how much was the prize money for the speechpetition? Eight
thousand. It’s like burning money.”
Ang remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.
Zacharias, the eldest son of the Kins Family, had been groomed as the heir since childhood. After
graduating, he quickly entered thepany and held a position of power for two years. Naturally, he
could afford this money. Moreover, it was for his beloved sister, so spending some money for her
wasn’t a big deal.
However, in her previous life, Ang had spent over a decade in the Kins Family, and all thebined
expenses didn’t amount to thirty thousand. After college, when she started working, the Kins Family
never provided her with money again. As for her brothers, they didn’t even give her a penny, let alone
share a piece of candy.
Every festival, she had to buy gifts and distribute gift money to each of them, resulting in a significant
expense each time. This was in 2004, when the average annual sry nationwide was only dors. In
the capital, where housing prices were high, it was merely 6,000 dors per square meter. The
purchasing power of thirty thousand back then was significantly different from its future value.
Her household registration still belonged to the Kins Family, and she felt restricted in whatever she
wanted to do. Ang bit her lip. She needed to find a way to change her household registration away
from the Kins Family.
