On the day of Lin's mother's birthday party, Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai went together, without bringing Lu Yingqian.
Lu Yingqian is shy and likes quietness, and Lin Yan always has a premonition that there will most likely be trouble on the birthday party.
As the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yan arrived at the Lin family at around nine in the morning. When Lin's father saw Lu Jinghuai behind Lin Yan, he was obviously relieved, and his face showed more expression.
He invited Lu Jinghuai in and said to Lin Yan, "Your mother is waiting for you upstairs. Go talk to her when you come back."
Lin Yan paused for a moment. Although she was not sure what to say to Lin's mother, she nodded and went upstairs directly.
In the living room on the second floor, Lin Jiao was sitting on the sofa with her mother. They seemed to be talking about something, and both mother and daughter had smiles on their faces.
On the other side of Lin's mother, there was another girl, Lin Yan's cousin, Cao Qin, the daughter of Lin's aunt. Lin Yan was not familiar with her, but in her memory, the original owner had met her once.
Cao Qin immediately spotted Lin Yan coming up and stood up and called out, "Sister Lin Yan."
Lin Yan also smiled and nodded at her: "Qinqin."
The other two mothers and daughters sitting on the sofa also noticed Lin Yan coming up because of Cao Qin's call. Lin's mother just looked up at Lin Yan with an unusually cold expression: "You still remember to come back?"
"Mom." Lin Jiao even held her mother's hand and didn't even look at Lin Yan. Lin Yan was not surprised. After all, she had embarrassed Lin Jiao in the mall last time.
Lin Jiao doesn't seem like someone who doesn't hold grudges.
Lin's mother also patted Lin Jiao's hand soothingly, and Lin Jiao snorted.
Neither the mother nor the daughter even looked at Lin Yan. Cao Qin, who was standing by, felt the awkward atmosphere in the air. She didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
Lin Yan didn't care. She just went over and sat down on the sofa without saying anything else. Then, perhaps because she was bored, she took out her phone to check Weibo.
Seeing Lin Yan's attitude, Mother Lin frowned and spoke.
"You came to celebrate my birthday, but you're just playing with your phone here. How uncultured."
Lin Yan also laughed angrily. She put down her phone but remained calm. "Didn't I think you and your sister had something to say? I won't bother you anymore. Am I uneducated? Indeed, no one has ever taught me what good manners are."
Mother Lin also knew that it would not work to show Lin Yan's displeasure, as Lin Yan didn't even bother to look at her expression.
Mother Lin stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly: "You saw Jiaojiao at the mall last time."
"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Yan paused, and probably understood that Lin's mother was here to stand up for Lin Jiao?
After that argument with Lin Jiao, she felt that Lin's mother would stand up for Lin Jiao, but after waiting for these days, there was no movement. She thought that the mother and daughter had changed their personalities.
And finally waited until today?
Lin Yan hummed, then looked at her mother. "Mom, why don't you ask what Lin Jiao said to others at the time? Did she say that I stole her marriage?"
Lin Yan scoffed, a bit mockingly, "Mom, you should be the ones who know best whether I stole Lin Jiao's marriage, right?"
Lin's mother was choked by this question. She frowned tightly and spoke again to defend Lin Jiao.
"Your sister just said it casually. Who knew Su Min had such a hot temper? Even if your sister was really wrong, couldn't you come back and tell us?"
"She's your sister, and you're embarrassing her in front of outsiders? And because of you, the cooperation between the Su family and ours has been affected. Aren't you the daughter of our Lin family?"
There was accusation and dissatisfaction in Lin's mother's eyes when she looked at Lin Yan, and her words were also justified.
Lin Yan couldn't help but sneer at Lin's mother's words: "I embarrassed her, but didn't she embarrass me first?"
Lin Yan looked directly at Lin Jiao: "Did she only tell Su Min that I stole her fiancé? If I hadn't explained it clearly that day, I guess everyone in H City would be saying that I stole her sister's fiancé."
"I even gave her face. I didn't say that she wasn't the Lin family's biological daughter. Did the Lu and Lin families arrange the marriage for her?"
In an instant, Lin Jiao's face turned pale and she tightly grasped her mother's arm: "Mom?"
Lin Jiao's tone was full of grievance, and Lin's mother was also heartbroken. She held her hand and spoke without hesitation.
"What do you mean Jiaojiao isn't the daughter of the Lin family? I raised her and spoiled her for more than 20 years. Jiaojiao is my biological daughter."
"Today is my birthday, and I see you're just trying to piss me off like this. If I had known, I wouldn't have given birth to a wicked girl like you."
Lin Yan looked indifferently at Lin's mother who suddenly exploded in front of her, and suddenly felt fortunate that it was her who faced Lin's mother instead of the original owner.
The original owner was treated with favoritism towards boys in her adoptive parents' home. After her biological parents finally found her, she learned that she was not their biological child.
Her biological parents are well-educated and have high social status. They do not favor boys over girls. She thought she could feel loved, but her biological parents actually favored her adopted daughter more.
Lin Yan suddenly felt a sour nose and a stuffy chest. She didn't know whether this was due to the emotions of her original body or whether it reminded her of many things in the past.
But she just pulled the corners of her mouth, and the emotions on her face subsided a little: "Oh, actually, you can just pretend that you never gave birth to a daughter like me."
Then she withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Lin's mother. She didn't know whether Lu Jinghuai would come up to her after chatting with Lin's father. She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it and get angry.
However, Lin Yan's attitude angered Lin's mother.
Mother Lin slammed the table in anger: "What are you talking about? Do you think marrying into the Lu family is amazing? Do you look down on us as your parents?"
[If I just get angry and curse now, will it make Lu Jinghuai feel awkward? It's really frustrating.]
[Forget it, why not just curse directly? I'll get so angry that I'll have breast hyperplasia and become like Marco Polo.]
