Book Synopsis
Li Wei was born into an ordinary rural family and excelled in her studies from a young age, making her parents proud. However, due to their financial struggles, they could not afford to send all three daughters to school at the same time. To create better opportunities for her two younger sisters, Li Wei resolutely gave up her beloved education and went out to work. After more than a decade of hard work, she used her intelligence and perseverance to become the president of a well-known company in the capital. Despite her success, she remained low-key and never revealed her identity to her family.
On the day of her father's seventieth birthday, Li Wei returned to her long-lost hometown. She did not wear extravagant clothing or bring any flashy gifts; instead, she chose a simple outfit and quietly celebrated her father's birthday. At the banquet, her two sisters wore expensive attire and discussed their achievements, yet they treated Li Wei with cold indifference, even publicly mocking her as "a failure." Li Wei did not argue; she simply sat quietly to the side, smiling as she listened to them speak. In truth, her heart was already calm and untroubled. She understood that true success is not meant for boasting but for safeguarding the happiness and dignity of one's family.
As the banquet neared its end, the village chief suddenly arrived with an invitation from a prestigious company in the capital, inviting Li Wei's father to an important event. The village chief announced that Li Wei was not only the president of this company but had also been quietly supporting the development of their hometown. In that moment, everyone was stunned, especially Li Wei's two sisters. They finally realized how great their sister's sacrifices had been.
Li Wei's father was in tears as he tightly grasped her hand, his gratitude overflowing. Her mother embraced her excitedly, repeatedly apologizing. Her two sisters were filled with guilt and hurriedly apologized to Li Wei, expressing their willingness to learn from her and become more responsible individuals. Li Wei accepted their apologies with a smile, feeling warmth and comfort in her heart. She knew that all her efforts had been worthwhile.
