Chapter 25 Stop pretending, I'm not falling for your act.
Lin Muyan chuckled softly, unwilling to get entangled with Mrs. Shen any further.
Keeping some distance from the Shen family in the future might preserve some of the good memories from the past.
If this continues, not only will the twenty years of kindness be lost, but the image of Mrs. Shen in her heart will also be completely destroyed.
Seeing that Lin Muyan ignored her, Mrs. Shen became even angrier and was about to continue her verbal attack when Shen Jiaojiao stopped her.
"Mommy, let me go and talk to Sister Muyan."
As Shen Jiaojiao spoke, she walked to Lin Muyan's side on her own. Lin Xiao looked at his former sister with mixed feelings, but he didn't get a single glance from Shen Jiaojiao. Instead, he received a very distant remark.
"I'd like to speak with Sister Muyan alone for a while. Could you please move a little further away?"
Lin Xiao was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at Lin Muyan with concern. After Lin Muyan gave him a reassuring look, Lin Xiao took a few steps away, but not too far. He knew that Shen Jiaojiao had bipolar disorder and might jump up and hit people at any time. His parents had been beaten by Shen Jiaojiao many times before, so he had to be careful.
Seeing that Lin Xiao had walked a little further away, Shen Jiaojiao bit her lip and whispered to Lin Muyan:
"Sister Muyan, don't be angry with Mom. She's just worried that you'll be scammed. Do you know how much debt your family has? If they find out you own a house, they'll definitely try every means to take it away."
Lin Muyan was speechless. She didn't want to think badly of Shen Jiaojiao, but she immediately slandered the Lin family and packaged the Shen family's shamelessness as concern for her. How could this not be considered a green tea b*tch?
The comments section is full of people calling her a "green tea b*tch." In her opinion, she's not even close to Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao might be the real green tea b*tch, hiding her true colors.
At this moment, the comments section fell silent; otherwise, she really wanted to see how they would defend Shen Jiaojiao this time.
“Sister Muyan, you can’t afford that much in fees. Why don’t you just apologize to Mom? Your parents will definitely not abandon you. The Shen family will help you pay for it. I’ll put in a good word for you with your parents, and maybe they’ll be willing to take you back to the Shen family.”
Lin Muyan stared intently at Shen Jiaojiao. Her thin face, which had looked timid and pitiful just a few days ago, now showed a shrewd and calculating nature, her calculations written all over her face.
She sighed and said:
"Shen Jiaojiao, stop pretending. I know you have a mental illness. The reason you're so thin has nothing to do with the Lin family. Mom's cooking is so delicious, why don't you eat it?"
“They’ve spent a lot of money on you over the years, pampering you every day. Even Lin Xiaonuan has to give in to you. Of the three children in the family, you’re the one who wears the best clothes, uses the best things, and lives the most comfortably. But on the day you returned to the Shen family, you deliberately dressed like a beggar. You can fool the Shen family, but you can’t fool me.”
As soon as Lin Muyan finished speaking, Shen Jiaojiao's expression changed drastically. Lin Muyan took in the fear in her eyes and immediately felt a jolt in her heart. It seemed that all of this was true and that her biological parents had not lied.
Shen Jiaojiao not only brought this upon herself, but she was also very good at playing the victim and acting innocent. In order to make the Shen family feel more guilty towards her, she resorted to any means to make the Shen family think that she had suffered a lot of torment in the Lin family.
Shen Jiaojiao is a bad person!
Startled for only a moment, Shen Jiaojiao quickly concealed her panic, feigning innocence, and timidly said:
"Sister Muyan, I don't understand what you're saying. If you think we're after your house, just say so. But you're twenty years old now, you should be able to make your own judgments. The Shen family is so rich, why would they want your house? On the contrary, you should be more wary of your biological parents."
Lin Muyan rolled her eyes: "Then I'll just say it directly."
"Isn't your goal to steal my mansion? What are you pretending for? Besides, we're both twenty years old. I don't need you to teach me how to do things. When it comes to judging right from wrong, I think I'm much better than you. I graduated from a prestigious university with two degrees and have read far more books than you. I don't know why you speak so badly of the Lin family. They raised you for twenty years, after all."
"I don't care how you want to act in the Shen family, but I won't fall for your act. Tell your mother to leave, or I won't be polite."
Lin Muyan glanced at Shen Jiaojiao's increasingly gloomy face, snorted coldly, and walked to the table to continue signing and stamping.
In no time, all the documents were signed. As long as her older brother helped her complete the remaining procedures, the mansion would be completely hers.
Seeing this, Rong Muchen slowly stepped forward. He glanced at the Shen family mother and daughter, and finally said to Lin Muyan:
"Mu Yan, we'll be neighbors again from now on. I'll also be moving to the hillside villa for a while. If you need anything, just come to me."
Rong Muchen felt sorry for Lin Muyan. She was a well-off heiress from a wealthy family, and after graduating from university, she was at the age to go out and make her way in the world, but a piece of bad news disrupted her life.
Fortunately, she received a luxury mansion, so even if she completely broke ties with the Shen family, she wouldn't really become a penniless and pitiful person.
With this mansion, Lin Muyan can be considered someone with assets exceeding 100 million yuan.
Lin Muyan was taken aback. Mu Chen was going to move back to the villa on the hillside? Weren't their whole family planning to immigrate?
How long are you planning to stay here?
"About six months. It was a last-minute decision to come back. My parents both hope that I can get married within these six months."
After Rong Muchen finished speaking, his gaze fell on Lin Muyan's face. The two looked at each other, both seeming to have something to say, but in the end neither of them spoke.
When Shen Jiaojiao returned to Mrs. Shen's side, her eyes were red and she looked like she had been wronged. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth.
"She made you cry? She's gone too far! What's the use of raising her for twenty years? She's such an ingrate."
Shen Jiaojiao bit her lip, secretly holding back her anger. Only after hearing her mother scold Lin Muyan for being an ingrate did she feel a little better.
"Mommy, I'm afraid Sister Muyan has been controlled by the Lin family. She's now wholeheartedly on their side. I told her about my adoptive parents' situation, but she just doesn't believe me. I doubt she can keep this mansion."
"You idiot!"
Mrs. Shen cursed again, but fortunately, at that moment, the more intimidating Shen Shiqiu arrived.
As soon as Chairman Shen arrived, the senior executives tactfully shrank into a corner, while simultaneously widening their eyes and pricking up their ears. They had caught up with the excitement at the Shen family's place today.
Why is Chairman Shen here too? Could it be that they're really going to seize this mansion?
[I just saw that it seems Jiaojiao had Mrs. Shen call Chairman Shen over. Jiaojiao is probably just worried that the Lin family will have their eyes on Lin Muyan's house. You know, the Lin family also has Lin Xiao. The son doesn't have a house, but the second daughter already has her own. You can imagine what that means.]
[Holy crap, it's true! The Lin family definitely doesn't have the money to buy Lin Xiao a house. He'll need to buy a house when he gets married, so if Lin Muyan suddenly gets a luxury mansion for free, then Lin Xiao will have a place to live as a wedding home, right?]
From the moment Chen Dong stepped into this place, conspiracy theories began to circulate in the comments section.
Although they knew that the world would end in three months, and that not only houses but also money and gold would become worthless, Lin Muyan's mansion had no monetary value and could only be used as a safe house.
But there are still three months left, aren't there?
Who knows what might happen over these three months in pursuit of a luxury mansion?
