Chapter 19: Mocked by the Villa Security Guard
Lin Muyan took in the true colors of these security guards, and felt a mix of emotions.
In the past, when she came and went from the villa on the hillside, these security guards would rush to salute her and greet her, and everyone would try to curry favor with her.
Now look at it, the mockery is all too obvious.
This enormous transformation is truly astounding.
In just two days, she witnessed firsthand what it meant to be cold and indifferent to human relationships, and what it meant to be a fickle and heartless person.
When a person falls on hard times, even a dog on the street might bark at them.
She could only laugh it off, using a nonchalant smile to mask the slight helplessness in her heart.
However, a few security guards were rude and wouldn't let it go. They wanted to see Lin Muyan make a fool of herself and even offered to help her contact the Shen family.
"Miss Lin, do you need us to ask the property management to help you contact Mrs. Shen? Although you are no longer the daughter of the Shen family, what if the Shen family agrees to let you in?"
"Haha, right, wait a bit. Drive the pickup truck further away. There are many distinguished residents out for a walk at this time. Your car is too dirty. Park it further away and wait in the guard post."
Let Lin Muyan enter the guard post and share a room with this bunch of "stinky security guards," and we'll have some fun.
The security guards didn't want to miss this opportunity to kick someone when they were down, but Lin Muyan suddenly glared at them angrily.
"Don't go too far! Although I'm no longer a resident here, I can still file a complaint with the property management. Is this how you're supposed to stand guard, according to your job manual?"
"Also, I did leave the Shen family, so what? You all just think I'm down on my luck now and want to see me make a fool of myself, right? Go ahead and watch, I don't care."
"People like you, who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak, will never be respected even if you gain status, you clowns!"
Lin Muyan believed that when she was in the Shen family, she never felt superior because of her status or family background, never acted arrogantly towards anyone else, and never looked down on the security guards. She treated everyone fairly.
The security guards were so embarrassed by Lin Muyan's retort that they all turned red in the face, unsure how to retort.
Lin Muyan ignored them, parked the car on the side of the road, and took out her phone to call Lin Xiao.
After a brief silence, a few comments began to appear.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be, the world is so cold and indifferent. Suddenly I feel sorry for her, everyone can kick her while she's down these days, how devastating must that be.]
[Who can argue with that? The once high-and-mighty heiress is now a down-on-her-luck fake heiress whom even the security guards spit on. Anyone with a weaker constitution would have given up long ago.]
【Pity her? Are you kidding me? What's so pitiful about her? I'm asking you!】
[Yes, yes, wake up! What's so pitiful about her?]
[She stole Jiao Jiao's golden shovel, opened a spatial dimension, dug up treasures, and cashed in over 20 million. So what if she got a few sarcastic remarks from security guards? It's not like she lost a single piece of her flesh. Our Jiao Jiao suffered a full twenty years of hardship!]
Some viewers had started to sympathize with Lin Muyan in the comments, but as soon as they mentioned Shen Jiaojiao, they all started yelling again, and the tone of the comments returned to the initial state of being filled with insults.
When Lin Muyan finished her call and returned to the guard post, the security guards were still whispering among themselves, occasionally glancing at her with disdain.
Lin Muyan was too lazy to pay attention to them and quietly waited for Lin Xiao to take her inside.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Xiao finally came running over, panting. He had a bright smile on his face, thinking that his sister was worried about him and had come to find him.
"Sister, I'm sorry I'm late."
Despite running through the cold winter night and sweating profusely, Lin Xiao was overjoyed to see Lin Muyan.
"Didn't you have a shuttle bus bring you here?"
Lin Xiao shook his head: "The shuttle bus only serves homeowners and VIPs; we salespeople aren't qualified."
Not only were they not allowed to ride the shuttle bus, but they were also not allowed to ride electric bikes or bicycles in; they could only walk.
The villas on the hillside are very large, and some of them are far from the entrance to the mountain, requiring several hours of walking to reach!
"But I was lucky enough to borrow a hoverboard. What do you need, little sister?"
Lin Muyan didn't mention on the phone that she wanted to go see the unclaimed villa together, so Lin Xiao didn't try to get a car.
The security guards in the booth pointed and whispered at Lin Muyan and her brother, still with a hint of malice.
"The brother and sister do look quite alike. Her brother is actually a real estate agent, haha."
"It's just a house for sale. I heard that the Lin family is heavily in debt. I even suspect that Lin Muyan comes here frequently just to ask the Shen family for money."
"I guess so too. I heard that on the day she was kicked out of the Shen family, she didn't take anything with her. It's said that her birth mother used to work as a nanny in the Shen family and maliciously switched the babies, taking the real Shen family's daughter back and tormenting her for twenty years."
"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this a real-life version of the story of the cat being switched at birth? This family is disgusting. This Lin Muyan might be an ingrate too."
The brother and sister naturally overheard the security guard's gossip. Lin Xiao was furious and said that he could talk about him, but he absolutely could not talk about the Lin family or his sister.
Jiaojiao and Muyan were both switched at birth. Jiaojiao is pitiful, but does Muyan deserve to be scolded? Wasn't she just a child back then?
Besides, what do you mean by "tortured for twenty years"? These people don't know the inside story and just spout baseless slander. The Lin family did nothing wrong to Shen Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao has a mental illness, which is not something they wanted to see.
If we're really talking about who owes whom, perhaps Mom and Dad feel more indebted to Xiao Nuan.
After Xiao Nuan was born, Jiao Jiao fell ill a few years later, causing her constant distress. Her parents focused all their energy on her, taking her to see doctors whenever they had free time, while showing little concern for their youngest daughter, who was born last.
Jiaojiao's current state is not due to abuse. According to the doctor, it's because Jiaojiao herself has a distorted perception. She is materialistic and cannot tolerate the fact that she comes from a poor family.
Some people may be born to exact revenge.
Lin Xiao, his eyes red, wanted to go up and argue, but Lin Muyan stopped him with a look.
"Forget it, let them say what they want. Let's go inside. I want to see that villa you mentioned."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and, seeing that there were more people coming and going, he listened to Lin Muyan and led her into the villa on the hillside.
This time, the security guards didn't stop them, but their disdainful gazes never left them.
Seeing that Lin Xiao was still sulking, Lin Muyan couldn't help but laugh.
"You probably aren't good at arguing either, are you?"
Lin Xiao blushed and then lowered his head.
"It's all my fault for being too clumsy with words, and for not being as sharp-tongued as they are."
Lin Muyan thought to herself that this was indeed the case. She was quite similar to her older brother; they were not good at arguing or cursing. Those security guards all had foul mouths, and if they really started arguing, they would only end up making things difficult for themselves.
"Forget it. They bow and scrape to the people here every day, watching luxury cars come and go. They've probably been repressed for too long. They finally see an unlucky guy like me, so they have to vent their anger, right? I don't care, let them say what they want."
