Chapter 24 This mansion rightfully belongs to the Shen family.
"What do you mean? What do you think I mean? If you met this homeowner as the daughter of the Shen family, then this house shouldn't be yours."
“If the transfer of ownership had been initiated earlier, you would still be a member of the Shen family. What ability do you have to manage such a large mansion? It should be taken over by the Shen family.”
Mrs. Shen's outrageous remarks once again changed Lin Muyan's perception of her adoptive mother.
After leaving the Shen family and becoming a fake heiress who was at odds with the Shen family, her adoptive mother seemed to have become a completely different person, making her feel a terrifying sense of unfamiliarity.
【Huh? Did I hear that right? How could Mrs. Shen say something like that?】
[Holy crap, family, is this really happening? Is this still the elegant and poised socialite from that wealthy family?]
[It seems that no one can escape the law of prioritizing profit. This mansion is worth billions, and it can be sold for immediate cash. Who would complain about having too little? Even Mrs. Shen, a wealthy woman who lives surrounded by money, would be envious.]
The comments section started analyzing the current situation for Lin Muyan, with many feeling that Mrs. Shen's calculations were too ambitious, and that her schemes had backfired spectacularly.
If the mansion had been transferred to Shen's name before Lin Muyan left the family, it might have actually been possible for Mrs. Shen to get her hands on it, since they were both Lin Muyan's guardians at that time.
[But I suspect Lin Muyan "dug" this mansion out with a golden shovel. Mrs. Shen's plan is likely to fail. With this house, Lin Muyan can finally arrange a safe house, right?]
Good heavens, being neighbors with the Shen and Rong families is going to be interesting.
Lin Muyan's gaze swept across the comments and finally landed on Mrs. Shen.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jiaojiao pulled Mrs. Shen aside and began to whisper to her.
"Mommy, why don't we call Daddy over? They should have already prepared all the necessary documents and procedures, so they're not afraid of being investigated. We mother and daughter don't have much of a deterrent effect, so we need Daddy to come and talk to Sister Muyan."
“Mommy, you don’t know, the Lin family owes a lot of money, and my adoptive mother…” Shen Jiaojiao paused, looking like she had a lot to say about her adoptive mother.
Without her saying anything more, Mrs. Shen had a general idea of what kind of person the Lin family mother was. She frowned and took out her phone to send a message to Shen Shiqiu.
"After all, Sister Muyan is just a recent graduate. She has been protected too well in the past and is easily deceived. If the house is really transferred to her, it will definitely be seized by the Lin family. They might even kick Sister Muyan out. That would be too pitiful for Sister Muyan."
Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and patted Shen Jiaojiao's hand, looking very comforted.
“My dear daughter, you’re just too kind. But you’re right. Mu Yan was indeed well protected by us before, but she didn’t learn any of the Shen family’s good qualities. She might get scammed by the Lin family. It’s a real pity that such a big mansion is going to fall into her hands.”
Mrs. Shen thought to herself, the Shen family has been a powerful force in the business world for many years, and each member is a business elite and very shrewd. Yet, after raising Lin Muyan for twenty years, she was easily manipulated after returning to her humble family. What a waste.
Fortunately, her biological daughter seemed different. Jiaojiao possessed both kindness and intelligence, and even after suffering for twenty years in the impoverished Lin family, she remained outstanding.
She is a hundred times better than Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan calmly watched the mother and daughter whispering in the corner, then confidently asked the executives.
"How does it look? Are there any problems with my transfer documents?"
The group looked at it again and again, and made several phone calls to confirm that the situation was true and the operation was in accordance with regulations.
Then one of the senior executives, who was at the head of the group, said with a smile:
"No problem, Ms. Lin. If you need anything, please feel free to contact our property management."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen immediately raised her voice.
"How can there be no problem? Did you check carefully? This house has been vacant for so long, yet she suddenly transferred the ownership. Don't you find that strange?"
The group exchanged glances. The documents were indeed correct, and they had all heard about the Shen family's child being switched at birth. This Miss Lin was actually the fake heiress that the Shen family had mistakenly raised for twenty years. Mrs. Shen's current attitude clearly indicated that she didn't want this fake heiress to have an easy time.
However, the series of procedures were indeed flawless, as they did not have law enforcement authority.
"Mrs. Shen, if you have any objections to the ownership of this house, perhaps you should hire a lawyer to intervene, however..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Shen gave a cold snort.
“A bunch of idiots. I’ll have my husband bring the company’s legal counsel right now. There’s definitely something wrong with how this house was transferred.”
"Lin Muyan, I know you're resentful because you were kicked out of the Shen family. Considering I raised you for twenty years, you'd better hand over this mansion, or you'll definitely suffer."
Mrs. Shen gave Lin Xiao an unfriendly look. Jiao Jiao said that the Lin family owed a huge amount of debt. Not only did she have to find a way to get the house from Lin Muyan, but she also had to guard against the Lin family trying to extort money from her.
Lin Muyan frowned and couldn't help but sigh.
“Mrs. Shen, there must have been a misunderstanding between the Lin and Shen families back then, which is why you have always disliked the Lin family and now you don’t like me either. You shouldn’t take your anger out on me and try to take away the house that belongs to me.”
Mrs. Shen was furious.
"Your house? Lin Muyan, do you want to hear what you're saying? What made you think you could afford such a mansion? Why would the previous owner be so kind as to transfer the property to you? If you weren't the Shen family's daughter, would they even bother with you? Would you even know them?"
"All of this is because you were once the daughter of the Shen family. Now that you've left the Shen family, are you trying to turn your back on us?"
Lin Muyan was also angered; Mrs. Shen was being far too unreasonable.
"First of all, the house was transferred after I left the Shen family, so it has nothing to do with the Shen family. Secondly, wasn't it you who wanted to drive me away?"
Lin Muyan didn't want to waste any more words with her, so she simply threw one of the pages in front of Mrs. Shen. It clearly showed the date of the property transfer application, just a few days ago, when Shen Muyan was already Lin Muyan.
Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Shen Jiaojiao's expression changed, and she suddenly whispered something in Mrs. Shen's ear. Mrs. Shen's eyes immediately lit up, and she became energetic again.
She looked at Lin Muyan with a cold smile.
"Can you afford all the fees involved in transferring the ownership of this house? Do you think you have the financial means to acquire this mansion?"
"Let me make this clear from the start: you're not getting another penny from the Shen family!"
Lin Muyan was extremely disappointed, not because of Mrs. Shen's sarcastic remark, nor because she said she could no longer take a single penny from the Shen family, but because of Mrs. Shen's arrogant and condescending attitude, which made her feel completely unfamiliar.
She clearly remembered that Mrs. Shen had taught her that even as a daughter of a wealthy family, she should still have the proper measure and sense of propriety. She shouldn't act like a spoiled rich girl just because of her high status, and she shouldn't bring shame to the Shen family.
But now? With Mrs. Shen's current attitude, where has she placed her dignity and self-respect?
