Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...
Lin Yu had just returned home from the hospital and lay down, not yet fast asleep, when she felt the earth shake violently.
My whole body felt like it was shaking.
She sat up and shouted, "Earthquake! Earthquake!"
"Pfft"
She heard a laugh, and groggily turned her head to see Lin Jing laughing beside her bed.
Lin Yu glared at him angrily and said, "What are you doing? You're disturbing my sleep."
Lin Jing had just woken her up, and the little girl quickly said, "Sister, sister, there's big news, come and see!"
She was waving a newspaper in her hand.
Lin Yu glared at her: "I wonder what big news you have that's worth waking me up."
Even with news of war in the neighboring country, Lin Yu is ready to beat up that brat.
Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to disturb her sleep.
Lin Jing pointed to the newspaper headline: "Look at this."
Lin Yu snatched the newspaper and glanced at it. The headline read, "Chinese team develops new weapon, already in use..."
The content states that the research team developed a new weapon after several years of research, which has been put into use and played a crucial role in the recent border war.
The accompanying image in the article is a group photo of the research team.
Lin Yu spotted the two people in the middle of the team at a glance.
The black and white photo shows the entire team wearing white lab coats, with the two people in the middle being particularly eye-catching in terms of looks alone.
The man's smiling eyes were exactly like Lin Yu's, and the woman's appearance was almost a mature version of Lin Yu.
Isn't that her long-lost parents?
Lin Yu was no longer sleepy and quickly sat up to read the article again carefully.
Lin Jing exclaimed in delight, "Third Uncle and Third Aunt are amazing!"
She shook Lin Yu again: "Sis, why didn't you say before that they were all scientists? That's amazing!"
Lin Yu asked her with amusement, "What did you think your third uncle and aunt were doing when they disappeared for several years?"
Lin Jing stared wide-eyed and said, "I don't know, but Grandma said they went to work."
She didn't think about it too much at the time; she only knew that her third uncle and aunt were both capable.
But I never expected him to be such a remarkable person.
This is a weapon.
Lin Jing reads the newspaper every day, and today when she opened it, she saw the two of them. Her heart is still pounding, and she can't believe it.
But the two people in the newspaper were indeed her third uncle and aunt.
Their names were even next to the photos; Uncle San was the captain of this research team!
"Sister, shouldn't we keep Uncle and Aunt's situation a secret?"
Lin Jing asked, puzzled.
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Wasn't it kept secret for the previous few years? Now that it can be reported, it means that the confidentiality period has passed."
Lin Yu could guess that the new weapon had already been put into use, so there was no need to keep it a secret anymore.
If it weren't for this war, I don't know when I would have heard from my parents again.
Lin Yu got up and walked around, then said, "I need to make a call to my family."
Lin Jing pressed her back onto the bed and said, "Sis, you should get some sleep. I'm going to make a phone call."
She was too excited and woke her sister up.
Lin Jing felt she shouldn't disturb her sister's rest any longer; she still had to go to the hospital to take care of her future brother-in-law.
Therefore, she insisted that Lin Yu rest at home while she went outside to make a phone call.
Lin Yu yawned; she was indeed sleepy.
She barely slept during her night at the hospital, keeping her eyes fixed on Gu Yunze.
Yesterday I experienced both great joy and sorrow, and now I especially need to rest.
Lin Yu wasn't one to ignore advice; she knew that health was very important.
So he waved his hand and said, "Then go make the call. I'll take a nap and we'll talk when I wake up."
Lin Jing nodded, and seeing that she had lay down, she left, closing the door behind her.
When Lin Yu opened her eyes, the afternoon sun shone on the bed and onto her face.
She covered her eyes with her fingers, remembering that she hadn't closed the curtains properly before going to bed.
She scratched her head and sat up.
Lin Yu frowned and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It showed that it was 2 a.m.
It seems she slept for several hours.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter reached her ears. Lin Yu listened intently for a while and discovered that there were two familiar voices.
Her eyes lit up, and she slipped on her slippers and ran over.
Sure enough, when they ran to the main room, they saw Lin Shengli and Shen Zhinian sitting there talking to Song Meili and the others.
She shouted, "Dad, Mom!"
Shen Zhinian stood up and opened her arms to hug her daughter who ran over: "Xiaoyu, Mommy and Daddy are back."
Lin Shengli also stepped forward and hugged the mother and daughter, saying, "Xiaoyu, your parents miss you very much."
When Lin Yu let go of her parents, her eyelashes were already wet.
Lin Shengli patted his daughter on the shoulder: "We heard you got into university. Your mom and dad are so proud of you."
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Our Xiao Yi will be taking the college entrance exam next year."
Lin Shengli raised an eyebrow and said, "Time flies. Your parents owe you and your brother so much."
The couple had two children, one of whom had been away from home since childhood. The child had only been back for less than two years when the couple passed away.
The other one was also young, and they weren't there to watch him grow up.
Lin Shengli and Shen Zhinian often felt indebted to them.
Lin Yu shook her head slightly and said, "We are doing very well, you don't need to worry."
Even though their parents were gone, the siblings never blamed them.
Now that Lin Yu knows they have been working for the country all these years, she feels even more proud.
However, they still reminded him, "If you have time, you can go back and spend some time with Xiao Yi. He's about to take the college entrance exam, which is the most crucial year for him."
Lin Yu believes that her younger brother will be very happy that his parents are accompanying him during the college entrance examination.
Lin Shengli and Shen Zhinian exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Okay, let Xiao Yi get into Beicheng University, so our whole family can be together in the future."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You're all staying in Beicheng from now on?"
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "Yes, you've done a good job this time. Knowing that you study in Beicheng, your father applied for a house with the higher-ups, and we'll settle down here from now on."
Beicheng is the national capital, so it would be good to stay here, as it would benefit the future development of both children.
Lin Jing clapped her hands and said, "Isn't that perfect? My future brother-in-law's family is also in Beicheng, so my sister won't be considered to be marrying far away, right?"
Lin Shengli beckoned to his niece and said, "Erniu, tell me, what does 'future brother-in-law' mean?"
Lin Jing blushed and said, "Third Uncle, just call me Lin Jing, don't call me by my nickname."
She added, "My sister and Gu Zhiqing were supposed to get engaged, but he went to the battlefield..."
Lin Shengli frowned and interrupted, "What? You've gone to the battlefield?"
Lin Shengli knew exactly where he was going to the battlefield at this time.
Seeing his excitement, Lin Yu quickly said, "He's already back."
Shen Zhinian asked her with great concern:
"What's going on with Xiao Gu? And what about the engagement? Tell us quickly."
