"Give that variety show slot to Rou Rou, she's more suitable than you!"

"You're a real rich girl now, don't be so petty, and stop competing with her over everything!"

The noise in her ears brought Shen Qingran back to her senses.

She opened her eyes and raised her head.

What she saw was the familiar dining room, the dining table, and those familiar faces - her family members, although their eyes were full of disgust and blame when looking at her.

Wait... this scene is when she was robbed of the variety show quota by Xiao Song Rou in her previous life?

Has she really been reborn?

With a glance at the date on the wall, a hint of smile appeared in her eyes.

Returning to this time point was just perfect; everything could still be saved, and all the bullying she experienced in her previous life would not happen again!

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" The handsome man beside her frowned, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

This was her second brother, Xiao Song Zhe, who was also her current agent.

At the table sat her parents, her mother, her five brothers, and Xiao Song Rou - even though she was just an adopted daughter, she was the most pampered little princess in this family.

Shen Qingran withdrew her gaze and said coldly, "I heard you, and I refuse."

This was the first time Shen Qingran had spoken up against her family since returning home.

Xiao Song Zhe was momentarily taken aback, then said impatiently, "Can you stop being so childish? Rou Rou wants to be on that variety show, what's the big deal about giving it to her? Do you really have to make everyone at home unhappy?"

"Whether you're unhappy or not has nothing to do with me."

Shen Qingran looked at him coldly. "I got that spot on the show by my own abilities. Why should I give it to someone else?"

Xiao Songzhe was very dissatisfied with his suddenly stubborn sister.

He clenched his chopsticks tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "If you give up this opportunity, I promise to find you better resources."

"No need."

Shen Qingran sneered, "Keep your good resources for your beloved sister. I'm not blessed enough to enjoy them."

"Xiao Qingran!" The long-suppressed fifth brother Xiao Songzhan couldn't stand it any longer, "Don't go too far!"

The rest of the Xiao family also looked unhappy, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Since sister likes it, I won't want it anymore. I'll give it to her..." Xiao Songrou said timidly with red eyes, "It's my fault for causing this. Second brother, Fifth brother, don't argue with sister..."

"It's not your fault!" Xiao Songzhe and Xiao Songzhan reassured her in unison.

Mother Xiao also said lovingly, "Songrou, don't worry about it."

After saying that, she looked at Shen Qingran with a stern face, "Qingran, what are you making a fuss about? Is it really worth it over such a small matter?"

"Yeah, for such a small matter, how am I going overboard?" Shen Qingran spoke lightly, with a calm expression, "I'm just defending my own interests."

She calmly set her chopsticks down, wiped her mouth and hands with a napkin, and then looked up at Xiao Songrou, who was protected by Mother Xiao, her expression slightly stern.

"Remember, the opportunity is mine and has nothing to do with you."

"Therefore, it doesn't make sense to say that you don't want it and give it to me. Understand?"

After saying that, she said indifferently, "I'm done eating, you guys can do as you please."

Before her words fell, she directly got up and returned to her room, too lazy to entangle with them any further.

Anyway, the current Xiao family members were all strangers to her.

She, Shen Qingran, was the biological daughter of the Xiao family, but she did not grow up in the Xiao family.

At the age of four, she was accidentally lost outside by her fifth brother, Xiao Songzhan, and was abducted by human traffickers. Later, the Xiao family adopted a little girl, changed her original name to Xiao Songrou, and took her original identity and status.

A year ago, the Xiao family found their biological daughter and brought her back, but they didn't value her much. Instead, they were very biased towards their adopted daughter, Xiao Songrou.

Whenever there was a conflict between the two, everyone in the Xiao family unconditionally trusted and favored Xiao Songrou!

Before being recognized by the Xiao family, she had worked hard in the entertainment industry. With her efforts and talent, in just over a year, she had slowly advanced from an 18th-tier newcomer to a 3rd-tier rising star.

After being recognized by the Xiao family, they asked her to terminate her contract with the original company and switch to the Xiao family's own entertainment company.

She thought that with the support of her parents and siblings, her path would be easier. However, Xiao Songrou, who had been studying music, suddenly wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

As a result, the Xiao family's second child, Xiao Songzhe, personally brought Xiao Songrou into the circle.

He piled all the good resources on Xiao Songrou and promoted her to a 3rd-tier rising star.

All the good resources were picked by Xiao Songrou first, and only those that Xiao Songrou didn't want would fall into her lap.

Last month, she accidentally saved the wife of a director. In gratitude, the director gave her a highly anticipated, high-profile variety show guest spot, which had not yet begun broadcasting.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Song Rou became interested again, and acted coquettishly towards Xiao Song Zhe, expressing her desire to go.

With Xiao Song Rou's status, she wouldn't even come close to meeting the variety show's criteria; therefore, the Xiao family decided to have Shen Qing Ran give up her spot for Xiao Song Rou!

To put it nicely, they were asking her to give up her place?

It was nothing more than daylight robbery!

Last night when Xiao Song Zhe came to tell her about this matter, she had refused.

This morning, Xiao Song Zhe brought it up again at the breakfast table, and without a doubt, it was because the little white lotus, Xiao Song Rou, pretended to be wronged again.

In her previous life, she really did give up her quota for the sake of family harmony... However, excuse her, she wouldn't do it in this life!

As for the "real rich girl," whoever wanted to take on that role could do it!

In the dining room, everyone exchanged glances and were almost angered to death.

"What does she mean by this? Is she rebelling?!" Mother Xiao was so angry that her chest hurt.

Father Xiao also frowned, but he looked at the Xiao family members and said, "It's just a small matter, and you're making such a fuss."

"Mom and dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

"This has nothing to do with you. It's Shen Qing Ran who's gone too far!" The fifth younger brother of the Xiao family, Xiao Song Zhan, exclaimed angrily, "She's simply unreasonable!"

The rest of the Xiao family members also had somber expressions.

As for their anger and disappointment, Shen Qing Ran didn't care in the slightest.

After all, in her past life, she had tried her best to be kind to the Xiao family members, pleasing them in various ways, like giving massages and cooking medicinal meals for them during the year she was with them. However, in the end, she was unable to warm their hearts.

When she and Xiao Songrou were kidnapped together, aside from Xiao's father who was not present, all the other members of the Xiao family chose to save Xiao Songrou first!

Following that, she was killed by the kidnappers, a bullet ending her life. She died with her eyes wide open, full of resentment.

In that moment, she completely gave up on the Xiao family.

Returning to her room upstairs, Shen Qingran looked at her right palm. Her lifeline was extremely short, indicating that she had less than a year to live.

In her previous life, she had met calamity just over a year later. That was when her life ended.

Originally, she had already died, but she was bound by a system before her last breath. She traveled through various small worlds to complete tasks and gain life value rewards. Only after accumulating enough life value was she given the opportunity to be reborn into this world.

When the system was unbound, it informed her that if she wanted to extend her life, she must gain the favor of more people!

Either by gaining the favor of more people for herself or by helping others gain the favor of more people, both could increase her lifespan.

In other words, she needed to exchange favor value for life value to prolong her life.

Therefore, her top priority was to find ways to save her own life and prolong it. Getting entangled with the Xiao family members was simply a waste of time.

She quickly took back the things she had brought and left behind all the things the Xiao family had bought for her in the past year. After roughly calculating the money she had spent from the Xiao family, she transferred it all to the bank card Xiao's father had given her. She hadn't used the money on the card before, and now she had added another sum.

After that, she went downstairs with her suitcase. The members of the Xiao family were all sitting in the living room, their faces looking uneasy. Seeing her coming down with the suitcase, their expressions changed dramatically!

"What are you up to now?" Xiao's mother asked, "Why can't you just be quiet for once?"
