Jin Shuo felt that cursing them was too lenient; calling them stupid would be an understatement. How could they let their own daughter be switched right under their noses? In his opinion, the reputation of being one of the four great families of the Imperial Capital Star wasn't as legendary as they claimed.

What gives them the right to control 35% of the world's economic lifeline? And to possess warships worth hundreds of billions of Star Dollars? And to claim a balanced development integrating military, political, and business sectors?

Haha, people would laugh their heads off if they heard this!

Jin Shuo even felt that the Lin family was no different from ordinary people. To be honest, treating someone else's daughter as their own was just being a sucker. He even wanted to find an opportunity to laugh at them.

Well, I can't build my happiness on my friend's pain, after all, she's family. Let's just let it go.

Moreover, there must be something fishy going on here.

"So, that dean was involved in the switch of the Lin family's daughter?" Zhou Ye asked. It was almost a certainty.

Lin Yiran didn't intend to tell them the truth, because it involved a wide range of people, and it would be safer for them if they weren't dragged into it.

"Not at all,"

"As far back as I can remember, I felt that the headmistress treated me very badly. She was always very fierce, often withheld my nutrient solution, and would even whip me with a rattan cane when she was unhappy, leaving me in a miserable state. Even when I told the Lin family servants that I was the real Lin family heiress, she suddenly grabbed me, covered my mouth, and dragged me away. Later, she ordered someone to beat me up and throw me in the garbage dump. I almost didn't wake up."

"She knows I'm the Lin family's daughter. This is something I've repeatedly told her since I was little. Although I hit my head and don't have many memories, and I don't remember who my parents are, I still remember the year I went missing. My family was taking me on a cleanup mission in the 75th star system on the edge of the planet. And when I woke up in the ninth star system, I was wearing a jade pendant around my neck. However, Lin Fei and her friends tricked me into giving it away, and then it was rumored that Lin Fei and the Lin family's genetic test results were the same. I had no chance to seek justice, so when the Lin family servants came to pick up Lin Fei, I dared to rush up to them and say, 'I am the real Lin family's daughter.' You all know what happened after that."

"I was beaten up and thrown out."

At this point, Jin Shuo had a question: "I'm not doubting you, I just want to ask, how can you be so sure that you are the Lin family's daughter?"

Lin Yiran smiled: "There's a small mechanism on that jade pendant that matches my lifestyle. I haven't told anyone else about it. Most people wouldn't know how special that jade pendant is. If you give me the jade pendant, I can open it right away."

"And I believe my memory is genuine."

Jin Shuo nodded: "Alright, I support you."

Zhou Ye asked, "Are you really not going back to the Lin family? I think there might be some conspiracy involved, but everyone knows how much the Lin family loves their daughter. If you go back, you only need to do another genetic test. As for what happened back then, you can leave it to the Lin family to investigate."

Lin Yiran paused for a moment and did not speak.

Zhou Ye understood, "You don't trust the Lin family."

Lin Yiran: "I don't trust them, but it doesn't matter. I'm doing just fine now. Besides, I don't think the title of 'Lin family heiress' is all that great. I, Lin Yiran, can create a life with my own hands. Why should I bother them? Maybe they don't even care about their own daughter."

Jin Shuo disagreed a bit. He felt that considering the grand ceremony the Lin family made when they came to the Ninth Star System to recognize their daughter, the Lin family must have doted on her. But... but... well, he wasn't there, so he couldn't say for sure. Let it be, let Lin Yiran choose for herself.

Before she could even speak, Lin Yiran had already stood up and gone into the kitchen to prepare food.

The dough in her hands twirled like a flower, and in no time, a small bun was wrapped. Jin Shuo was very surprised and hurriedly went in to wash her hands and began to learn from Lin Yiran. However, after wrapping for a long time, one bun was torn here and another was exposed there. None of them were intact, but fortunately, they were still edible.

These soup dumplings will be golden in a moment.

Zhou Ye was more like a grandpa; he sat outside the whole time browsing Star Brain and never came in. He wasn't interested in cooking; he just wanted to wait to eat.

After it was all done, Lin Fu and the others came over, and everyone gathered around the table for a happy meal. Lin Yiran took out her pickled radishes and ate them with the meal, along with a few bowls of egg drop soup. Life was truly enjoyable.

However, Lin was still thinking about the man she had seen that morning.

Judging from his attire and mental strength level, the other party's status was naturally not low either. It was just a pity that he couldn't see the other party's face, otherwise... he could have taken care of him as well and eliminated the future trouble.

She had a feeling that killing the dean wouldn't go so smoothly, and that other troubles might arise later, with that man perhaps being that potential problem.

Well, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Lin Yiran's current focus is on ensuring the smooth operation of the 'Shi Bai Wei' restaurant.

*

A week later, Lin Yiran originally thought that after the initial hype surrounding the 'Shi Bai Wei' restaurant's opening gradually subsided, business would not be as good as it was at the beginning, with a net profit of over 100 million to nearly 200 million Star Coins per day. However, a week passed, then a month passed, and Wu Yongde delivered ingredients to Lin Yiran six or seven times during that time, barely managing to keep the restaurant and food court running. This clearly demonstrated just how good the business was.

The success of a business is reflected in its profits. Lin Yiran has calculated that the restaurant's daily turnover is around 300 million, sometimes a little lower, sometimes a little higher. After deducting other expenses, Lin Yiran earns a net profit of 100 million star coins every day. And that's a minimum. So, she can be guaranteed a minimum of 3 billion star coins a month, which is enough to buy a not-so-new flying car.

The income is still quite considerable.

With the increase in customers, the need for ingredients has also increased. Lin Yiran has discussed this with Wu Yongde and others. Wu Yongde is willing to be Lin Yiran's primary supplier, guaranteeing the quality and quantity of ingredients, and providing them exclusively for Lin Yiran's restaurant.

However, due to a shortage of manpower in their team, Lin Yiran initially wanted to find more suppliers or occasionally post some tasks on the Mercenary Guild to ensure the supply of ingredients. Later, after discussing with Wu Yongde and the others, Wu Yongde proposed the idea of ​​recruiting more mercenaries into the Lieyang Legion.

Because the Blazing Sun Legion no longer relies on taking on mercenary missions to support their families, after Lin Yiran granted them the privilege of being suppliers, the Blazing Sun Legion became incredibly wealthy.
