Evelyn Vance just turned twenty years old. Gender: female.
The emphasis on gender was necessary because people always got confused when they first heard her name. They never knew if it was a boy or a girl.
As a senior at T University, she studied Applied Economics. It was different from regular Economics. It was the study of how individuals, institutions, and governments acquire, spend, and manage money and other financial assets. In short, it was Finance.
She had parents and an older sister. She had no boyfriend.
She was the youngest in the family. She had grown up under the shadow of her sister’s constant pressure.
Her father was a self-made man. Her mother was a housewife. Her sister was destined to be a rich lady. And she was about to become a married woman.
Well, the last part wasn’t true yet. At best, she was just a small blade of grass in the wind.
Yeah, it was all tears.
She was a girl. Too bad her parents had worked hard for twenty years and only ended up with her and her sister.
When her mother was pregnant with her, she went out of her way to find a fortune teller. The fortune teller said the baby would be a boy. Her mother even secretly went for a check-up, and they said it was a boy.
So after coming home, her mother quit her job. She happily started raising the baby, waiting for the big day.
The only thing left was the birth. But when she was born, she was missing one thing.
From then on, she became the poor little girl no one loved. Her parents didn’t care, and her sister bullied her.
But luckily, she wasn’t disabled. Oh, wrong, she wasn’t disabled. She should be even more determined to prove that a daughter was no worse than a son.
She got into a top university. She was the only college student in her family, and it was a top one.
At that time, her father, who had already become rich, threw a big celebration. Her family wasn’t short on money anymore. They were short on culture.
What about her sister’s education? Oh, she studied abroad. So far, she hadn’t gotten her degree back. No one knew what it was.
Evelyn was on her way to class as usual. Her phone rang. It was her sister, Victoria.
“Sis, why are you suddenly thinking of me?” Evelyn answered with a smile.
Her sister rarely called unless something was wrong. And it was usually not good news.
But her sister was the type who was cold on the outside and warm on the inside. Once, when a classmate bullied Evelyn, Victoria rushed to school to fight back. Even though she got punished for it, Evelyn was still very moved.
“I miss you, sis. Your family is going bankrupt!” Victoria snapped on the other end.
“Bankrupt?” Evelyn didn’t react for a long time.
It sounded like something out of Emily’s romance novels.
“It means you’ll be drinking the northwest wind soon. Go home now and see what’s still valuable. Take it out and help Dad get through this crisis. Otherwise, you’ll be sleeping on the street.”
“But I still have two more classes!” Evelyn looked up at a 45-degree angle to watch the clouds float by. She answered out of reflex.
Honestly, she was just thinking her sister had taken the wrong medicine again. She loved scaring her with nonsense.
“At a time like this, you’re still thinking about class? You might be dropping out tomorrow. Get your ass home now. This time it’s real. Your family is going bankrupt!” Victoria hung up.
That was just like her. Always aggressive.
