Chapter 20 The True Heiress Chen Jiaojiao's Tea Talk
If the end of the world really comes, these people won't be smug for long. Let them be.
The two walked side by side, and every now and then passersby cast curious glances at Lin Muyan.
Clearly, they all recognized Lin Muyan and knew about the Shen family's affairs.
However, they don't chatter and cricket at others in public like the security guards at the gate, but we can't guarantee they won't cricket behind people's backs.
As she walked, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Lin Muyan keenly sensed something was amiss and looked up to find Mrs. Shen walking towards her with Shen Jiaojiao.
The other party had obviously seen Lin Muyan and Lin Xiao as well. Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Jiaojiao to leave, but after a brief moment of hesitation, Shen Jiaojiao took the initiative to lead Mrs. Shen toward Lin Muyan.
"Sister Mu Yan, what are you doing here?"
Shen Jiaojiao also saw Lin Xiao, but she deliberately avoided looking at him and only greeted Lin Muyan, which made Lin Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. He had doted on his younger sister for so many years, but when they met again, she was a stranger and wouldn't even greet him.
Lin Muyan first nodded to Shen Jiaojiao, and then looked at Mrs. Shen.
She greeted her politely, but Mrs. Shen clearly didn't want to talk to her. She was still thinking to herself, "Why is this person so persistent? She clearly said that day that she would not bother me again, but now she appears here every few days. It makes people wonder."
Now that the Shen family has finally recognized their true daughter, she has already made plans for Jiaojiao for the next few years, and she can't let Lin Muyan ruin them.
So Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Jiaojiao to leave, saying:
"Jiaojiao, let's go. We need to prepare for tomorrow's grand banquet. Let's not waste time here."
Mrs. Shen deliberately brought up the grand banquet tomorrow to remind Lin Muyan that the Shen family was a wealthy family, and that she had nothing to do with it anymore, and should not even think about coveting what did not belong to her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao exclaimed softly, "Oh dear! I almost forgot. Luckily, Mommy reminded me that there are still eighteen dresses we haven't tried on yet. Let's hurry up and go."
Shen Jiaojiao then stuck out her tongue apologetically at Lin Muyan: "Um, I'm sorry, Sister Muyan, I have an important banquet to attend tomorrow. As you know, this is my first time attending a banquet of this level, and I have a lot of dresses to try on beforehand."
"I also need to have a makeup trial in advance. Each dress requires a special makeup and styling. This is my first time attending such an important occasion, and I'm a little nervous."
"Oh right, Mu Yan, all the clothes and bags you wore at home have been disposed of. I told my parents I wasn't picky, and I didn't care if you wore them or used them, but they said they owed me twenty years, so how could I wear old clothes? So they threw them all away."
"My parents bought me lots of nice new clothes, bags, and jewelry. The things you used before are probably still at the garbage dump; they're all packed in cardboard boxes, so they shouldn't be dirty. If you still want them, you can go there..."
Shen Jiaojiao continued talking to herself, but Lin Muyan felt something was off and immediately interrupted her.
“Mrs. Shen, my brother and I have some things to do, so we won’t disturb your walk any longer. Brother, let’s go.”
Lin Muyan ignored Shen Jiaojiao and left with Lin Xiao, leaving behind two bewildered and angry figures.
"Hmph, all those years of teaching have been for nothing. He's only been back for a few days and he's already become so ill-mannered. He really has inferior genes."
Mrs. Shen made a disdainful sarcastic remark, then turned to see that her daughter's expression was not quite right, and quickly comforted her.
"Jiaojiao, don't mind her. I really spoiled her before. I didn't expect her to be such a rude brat. You don't need to be polite to her when you see her in the future. They owe you. You don't need to worry about their feelings."
"Jiaojiao, remember this: our Shen family is ten thousand times more noble than them. In ancient times, they would have to kowtow and pay their respects to us, understand?"
Shen Jiaojiao nodded obediently, cleverly concealing the sense of superiority in her eyes. "I understand, Mommy. But Sister Muyan was probably in a hurry, which is why she left before I finished speaking. Why are they here? Should we go and see?"
Mrs. Shen immediately wanted to refuse upon hearing this, but upon further thought, she found it strange. What were Lin Muyan and her brother doing here? What right did they have to be here?
The mother and daughter didn't rest for long before turning around and following after them.
Lin Muyan was unaware that Mrs. Shen and Shen Jiaojiao were following them at a distance.
Lin Xiao hung his head in dejection and sighed repeatedly.
Shen Jiaojiao's words just now were really unpleasant to hear. Although she didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was already very clear. She actually suggested that Mu Yan go to the garbage dump and pick up the garbage that the Shen family had thrown away.
The Shen family was being incredibly heartless and even insulting. They would rather throw all those things away than let Mu Yan pack them up and take them with her.
Lin Xiao heard from his mother that when Mu Yan returned to the Lin family, she only had a simple bundle and an old suitcase, nothing else, and she was wearing old clothes that didn't fit her well.
Why are the Shen family like this?
The comments section remained silent, with only occasional messages popping up. What surprised Lin Muyan even more was that they didn't seem excited at all when they saw Shen Jiaojiao.
In the past, the comments section would have been filled with mindless praise for Shen Jiaojiao, but this time, the silence was so profound that it made her feel uneasy.
[Have you noticed that Jiaojiao seems different?]
What she just said sounded...
The chat fell into a deathly silence, which did not surprise Lin Muyan.
Shen Jiaojiao had just deliberately boasted in front of her about attending a high-society banquet, and even said that she was very busy, having to try on clothes and makeup, which gave the feeling that she was deliberately provoking her.
Previously, these were things Lin Muyan had to do. She had to try on eighteen dresses, and she also had to try on makeup and styling in advance. She had attended many high-profile banquets.
But now, all of this belongs to Shen Jiaojiao, and has nothing to do with Lin Muyan anymore.
It can be considered a return to its rightful owner, but Shen Jiaojiao's behavior just now seemed a bit too deliberate.
What's even more outrageous is that she specifically told Lin Muyan about how the Shen couple had thrown away Lin Muyan's old clothes and bags, and even told her that although the items had been thrown away as trash, they were still at the garbage dump and could be found.
Is this going to make Lin Muyan pick up trash?
Lin Muyan was somewhat unhappy. The comments were calling her a "green tea b*tch." She thought Shen Jiaojiao was the real green tea b*tch, and not a very smart one at that. Her words just now were completely unpretentious; any smart person would know something was off.
Seeing Lin Xiao's jealous expression, Lin Muyan sighed inwardly.
"Don't think about it anymore. Since she has chosen not to acknowledge you as her brother, just leave her alone. Some people are not worth remembering."
Lin Xiao gave a muffled "hmm," knowing in his heart that everything was irreversible. Shen Jiaojiao had always looked down on the Lin family for being poor, and now she wanted to have nothing to do with them anymore. He should be self-aware and not bother her anymore.
From now on, they will be from completely different worlds. The Lin family will be at the bottom, while Shen Jiaojiao will climb to the top and stand at a height that they can only look up to.
