"There's something else," Gong Xin continued. "Don't pretend to be blind to the fact that the Lin family was indeed poor. Yet, Lin Miao managed to complete high school while living with them. The Lin family scrimped and saved to provide her with an education, but it seems they couldn't erase the rusticity ingrained in her. Is it her rural upbringing that's the problem, or is it a flaw in her character?"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Chen's anger flared. The Gu family, after all, belonged to the military compound, and they had only managed to send Gu Zi to high school. If it weren't for Gu Zi's exceptional abilities, she wouldn't have been able to attend the city's top schools, given Gu Shan's military rank and position. Therefore, in terms of family support, the treatment Lin Miao and Gu Zi received in education was equivalent.
