After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 474 - 368: Past and Present Lives (Part 3)

Even though many aspects of daily life, when spoken about now, might be ridiculed as overly extravagant, she simply feels more and more lonely, like a clown, like a puppet on strings.

After attending many social occasions, she found them extremely tedious.

The most interesting memory of her childhood in a past life was having a tutor who helped her grow sunflowers.

She never liked socializing, from her past life to this one.

Fortunately, in this life, she can choose her own way of living.

But in her past life, she could never refuse her family’s demands and expectations, and had to agree to many social events they wanted her to attend.

Back then, as long as she agreed in principle to attend social events with her family, she needed to ensure there were no mistakes at those gatherings.

She twisted her own desires, endured inner torment, and forced herself to complete tasks well, time and time again.

Luckily, she had a fairly smart mind, and every time she would receive a multitude of praises and applause, making her family feel satisfied and comforted, while she only felt the hypocrisy.

She deeply remembers when she was twelve years old in her past life, once interrupting at a public occasion, upon returning home she was caught harshly by her grandmother—a ridiculous and pathetic punishment she didn’t understand.

But from that day on, she no longer liked speaking, especially in noisy occasions.

It was during those years abroad that she began to experience joyful times, even though she was wandering alone, she was carefree, unrestrained, and had more freedom.

Later, when she began to study psychology and experience personal growth, she finally understood how to reject others, how to self-heal, how rare life is.

Being human means never building your happiness and expectations on others’ shoulders, otherwise she could never obtain the happiness and joy she truly desires.

That’s how she slowly adjusted her distorted life onto the right path.

Thus, she began to experience genuine happiness and freedom.

"Sis, you’re too modest. If you’re an average person, what am I? A beggar?" Despite playing a game, Zhuang Jianxian still managed to eavesdrop on his elder sister and Fairy Sister’s conversation.

"Exactly." Zhuang Siqi also put down his phone, "Just knowing how to make money is enough to outshine all their skills, isn’t it?"

"Right!" Zhuang Jianxian said proudly, "Besides, even if they look down on us for not being graceful or sophisticated, so what? It doesn’t stop them from groveling to you."

Zhuang Siqi wholeheartedly agreed with his brother’s words, "That’s right, you’re far better than them. There’s no need to be curious about their childhoods. The most important thing in life is to look forward; those who laugh last are the true victors!"

"You told us this." Zhuang Jianxian leaned beside Zhuang Yijing, smiling playfully, "You work hard not to be 10% better than others but 1000%. Being slightly better is useless, what’s really useful is being vastly superior. Standing on the mountain peak, you can see all others beneath. Stand on the first floor, someone curses you, you hear it and get mad. Stand on the tenth floor, someone curses you, you barely hear it, you think they’re greeting you. Stand on the hundredth floor, someone curses you, you neither see nor hear them. Use that time to do the right thing, sprint forward! Until they can’t even see your shadow, use 1% of the effort to win against 99% of the critics."

"Congratulations, you’ve perfectly humiliated those society ladies with your skills," Zhuang Siqi clapped joyfully.

Zhuang Yijing was amused by the words of the Zhuang family’s twins, "Thank you, for thinking so highly of me."

Ning Youguang looked at his friend, whose face showed a polite refusal but couldn’t hide the happiness in her eyes, and followed up with a compliment, "You are indeed amazing, being able to learn many things and possessing many skills is impressive, but what I admire most is someone who can take a skill to the extreme, that’s you."

"Don’t flatter me!" Zhuang Yijing put on a cute stern look, "I might become conceited."

She said, "Pride leads to stagnation; humility leads to progress. I’m still far from my goal, so you can’t start praising me so much too quickly, what if I become conceited and slack off and lose the ability to work hard?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"OKOKOK." The three immediately responded, "We won’t praise you anymore, keep working hard, we’ll just wait to ride on your coattails."

Zhuang Yijing couldn’t hold back, and laughed again. 1314
