XYLFTL Chapter 17

Lin Family Residence, these past few days Lin Father’s attitude towards Lin Yuan could be described as more than just cold.

Although Lin Mother had some self-reflection after the events of the past few days, she still couldn’t bear to be too cold towards Lin Yuan.

At least she would call her to eat, and show concern when she coughed or something.

Lin Yuan naturally saw that Lin Father didn’t spoil her as much as before at all.

Although Lin Mother cared for her, she was hesitant.

Lin Yuan could only constantly try to please them. She tried to please Lin Father more because she knew the family’s income mainly depended on him.

Although Lin Father was good to Lin Mother, Lin Mother didn’t get too involved in the family’s finances; she just used Lin Father’s card.

But Lin Father ignored her, only listening to Lin Yuan speak, but only responding with a cold “hmm,” not even knowing what she was talking about.

Lin Yuan stayed home these past few days, doing housework, reviewing, and trying to make Lin Father and Lin Mother see her efforts, but it was useless.

Lin Mother even said, “Yuan Yuan, these things aren’t your concern. Just do what you need to do!”

Lin Yuan’s heart turned cold, and she immediately said to Lin Mother with grievance, “Mom, do you not want me anymore?”

Lin Mother was stunned but still shook her head because the results weren’t out yet.

Lin Yuan, seeing Lin Mother like this, angrily said, “I’ll just leave so Mom won’t be in a difficult position.”

With that, Lin Yuan stormed out.

Lin Mother wanted to chase after her.

“Let her go. Don’t come back if you have the guts,” Lin Father said sternly from upstairs.

Lin Mother looked up at Lin Father and understood after seeing his expression. The identification results must have come out.

Lin Mother went upstairs to the room, and Lin Father gave her a stack of reports.

It showed that Lin Yuan and Sister Wu were mother and daughter.

Lin Mother was dazed for a moment, but luckily, Lin Father supported her.

Lin Father sighed and said, “It’s possible that for so many years, we’ve been raising a bloodsucker.”

Lin Mother was sad; she couldn’t believe it, since she was the one who raised her.

Afterward, Lin Father called Sister Wu upstairs and said, “Sister Wu, our family hasn’t treated you badly, right?”

Sister Wu knew that the matter had been exposed and had no choice but to say, “I’m sorry, sir and madam. I really couldn’t afford to raise her back then. I couldn’t let her be born without a father!”

“Then Anping could? She was born without parents and only grew up healthy because a kind old woman found her,” Lin Mother said painfully.

Lin Father slammed the table and said, “You could have told us. She could have grown up in the Lin Family with Anping, but you couldn’t have swapped them.”

Sister Wu knelt down and kowtowed, admitting her mistake.

Lin Father ignored her and just said faintly, “If you don’t have the life of a rich lady, you’ll never have it. Do you know that Lin Anping is now earning more than me on her own?”

Sister Wu didn’t believe it; she was just a little girl.

Lin Father smiled contemptuously, “At the same age, what about your daughter? Her studies are bad, and thinking about sucking my money is her top priority.”

Sister Wu shook her head and said, “No, Niu Niu is still very smart. Please give her a chance. You can do anything to me.”

“I don’t admit that I have such a daughter,” Lin Father said, turning to leave.

Sister Wu immediately chased after him and grabbed his leg, refusing to let go, saying, “No, you’ve raised her for almost twenty years. How can you not have feelings?”

“We do have feelings, but does she? A person’s heart only needs to be chilled once to be completely cold,” Lin Father said, pulling his leg away and leaving.

Lin Mother also didn’t give her a good look and just notified Sister Wu that she was fired, starting today.

No matter how Sister Wu wailed, it was useless. Lin Mother ordered the others to drag her out.

Afterward, she gathered the others together and gave each of them a severance payment.

She said, “You’ve all worked hard these years. Our family can’t afford to hire you anymore, so we can only give you the severance payment now.”

The few looked at each other and said, “No need, madam. The salary you’ve given us these years has been generous. We don’t spend it recklessly. The interest on the savings is enough for the rest of our lives.”

Lin Mother shook her head and said, “Thank you, take it. Keep in touch in the future.”

The few didn’t say anything else, sighing as they walked, “Raising someone for so many years, and she’s a fake. Sister Wu is really too unkind.”

Lin Mother felt pain in her heart as she listened to these words.

Afterward, she quickly sorted out the family’s other properties and cars and handed them over to a second-hand company to sell.

Lin Father came back in the evening and saw that the huge house was very deserted. The Lin Family had never mistreated servants but was deceived by a little girl for twenty years.

Lin Mother suddenly cried bitterly and slapped herself.

Lin Father hurriedly went up and grabbed her hand.

Looking at his wife, who was now the only one he had, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I regret it so much. How could I have said those things to Lin Anping back then?” Lin Mother said with remorse.

Lin Father understood that she was talking about that day at the hospital.

Lin Father also felt pain in his heart. He had identified so many people with bad intentions in the business world.

But he didn’t see that his “daughter” was also so scheming.

Just as Lin Father and Lin Mother were feeling sad, Lin Yuan heard that her biological mother had been fired and rushed back to beg for mercy.

Lin Father saw her and said directly, “You’ve come at the right time. Call your mom and go change the household registration.”

With that, Lin Father took Lin Mother and left directly.

Lin Yuan quickly called her mother to tell her.

Sister Wu rushed to the entrance of the business hall with Lin Yuan.

Lin Father and Lin Mother had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them arrive, they immediately went inside.

Lin Father remained calm, but Lin Mother didn’t want to see the mother and daughter at all.

After entering the business hall, many people knew that this was the Lin Family.

But what were they here to do? Why was Lin Yuan following behind a nanny?

Until Lin Father coldly said, “Change the household registration. Hers. She’s not my daughter. She’s that woman’s.”

Everyone was stunned, and the clerk at the window didn’t react.

Everyone gossiped as they looked over.

Lin Father didn’t care; he felt that the bigger the commotion, the better.

Lin Father saw the clerk was still stunned and said again, “Any name is fine, but don’t use the Yuan I gave her. It’s disgusting.”

The clerk then reacted and immediately said, “Oh, oh, okay, please show your household registration book, ID card, birth certificate, and parent-child relationship certificate.”

Lin Father took out the household registration book and birth certificate and looked at the mother and daughter: “What are you standing there for? Get the things?”

Lin Father’s seriousness made everyone present take a breath of cold air.

Lin Yuan carefully stepped forward and handed the things to Lin Father, “Dad…”

“I’m not your dad, don’t call me that,” Lin Father said, taking Lin Mother and sitting aside to wait.

Lin Yuan swallowed her anger, unwillingly handing over the things.

But she pretended to be aggrieved and shed tears.

The staff felt a little sorry, but if it wasn’t, it wasn’t. After raising her for so many years, it shouldn’t be like this.

Everyone discussed it, and Lin Yuan thought she had achieved the effect she wanted.

But Lin Father smiled lightly and said, “Everyone is so curious, so I’ll just say it directly.”

Lin Father got up and told everything that had happened these days, including his apology to Lin Anping, not seeking forgiveness but just expressing his apology.

Lin Mother wiped away tears.

Everyone felt sorry for Lin Father and Lin Mother. The daughter they raised so much at home was pampered and didn’t know how to be grateful.

The true daughter who suffered hardships outside was very self-reliant.

Soon, someone posted the video they had taken online.

Online reports about the Lin Family’s fake daughter continued to rise.

Mayor Zhou also personally came to express his condolences: “Your family this is.”

Lin Father smiled and said, “It’s kind of like the punishment we deserve for our attitude towards Lin Anping and Lin Anping’s family!”

Mayor Zhou sighed and said, “You were originally deceived.”

Lin Father shook his head and said, “Our karma.”

These two days, the Lin Family’s properties were almost sold. Lin Father and Lin Mother went to the countryside and settled in a small house.

After calculating their remaining savings after paying off the penalty, it was enough for the rest of their lives if they saved.

The two planned to do some small business that wasn’t tiring.

Although they were down on their luck, they were once the richest in City J. Even now, it was a standard two-story house.

There was also a vegetable garden at home.

Lin Anping read too many reports online.

Her roommates collectively called and said, “I went, so you’re a rich lady? But you haven’t relied on your family at all.”

“Ahhhhh Lin Anping is the real princess.”

Everyone was talking at once, and Lin Anping smiled and said, “Yeah, I only found out recently, but I can’t bear to leave my grandmother.”

Everyone chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Shen Xiaoyou turned her head and glanced at her resentfully and said, “You’ve been on the phone for a long time.”

“It’s because I haven’t seen them for a long time, and I can’t see them during the holidays, so I just chat every day,” Lin Anping said, rubbing over and hugging Shen Xiaoyou.

Shen Xiaoyou snorted and said, “But we’ll see each other when school starts, right?”

Lin Anping looked at Shen Xiaoyou and confirmed that she was jealous.

She immediately coaxed, “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”

Afterward, she lightly kissed her lips.

Shen Xiaoyou then showed a little happy expression.

Lin Anping was about to leave, but Shen Xiaoyou immediately kissed her.

Pressing Lin Anping down, Shen Xiaoyou kissed her harder.

Because of the position, Lin Anping soon couldn’t breathe and gently pushed Shen Xiaoyou.

Shen Xiaoyou moved away from Lin Anping a little.

Looking at Lin Anping, who was blushing and panting under her, she smiled apologetically and said, “Baby, why are you panting so hard?”

Before Lin Anping could answer, Shen Xiaoyou kissed her again, not giving Lin Anping any time to react.

Lin Anping was a little dazed by the kiss, and Shen Xiaoyou took the opportunity to say, “Call me sister and I’ll let you go.”

“Sister~” Lin Anping deliberately dragged out the sound.

Shen Xiaoyou couldn’t stand it anymore and let go of Lin Anping, but Lin Anping directly pressed back and said, “It’s my turn, I won’t give you a chance to beg for mercy.”

Shen Xiaoyou was still in shock when Lin Anping had already pressed up.

It wasn’t until Grandmother called for dinner downstairs that the two reluctantly got up.

Shen Xiaoyou walked to the mirror and immediately pouted.

Lin Anping noticed and looked at Shen Xiaoyou and scratched her head and smiled.

Because Shen Xiaoyou’s lips were swollen.

After going downstairs, Shen Xiaoyou’s secretive little actions quickly caught Grandmother’s attention.

She just smiled slightly but didn’t say anything.

Lin Anping would be a sophomore when school started, and Grandmother sighed at how fast it was.

Shen Xiaoyou said to Grandmother, “Grandmother, when Lin Anping goes to school, I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup. The medical care here is pretty good.”

Grandmother no longer refused. Since the house had been rented, she would take a look, and if she was cured, she could spend a few more years with Lin Anping.
