Chapter 3: Kicked Out of the Wealthy Family
"Mrs. Shen, I've thought it through. I want to go back to my family and won't bother you anymore."
After Lin Muyan finished speaking decisively, Mrs. Shen and Chairman Shen exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
To be honest, it would be best if Lin Muyan were willing to leave on her own. Otherwise, they really wouldn't know how to deal with her. She was always threatening to cut her wrists to commit suicide. They dared not serve such an extreme person anymore.
Mrs. Shen also sighed repeatedly. After all, she had watched her grow up and taught her so much, but a sudden change revealed her true colors. She thought she had raised a proud daughter, but she didn't expect her to be just a good-for-nothing who would resort to extreme methods to solve problems.
Indeed, no matter how much you cultivate inferior genes, you can't raise a true heiress.
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded slightly to his wife, who immediately understood.
"Mu Yan, come upstairs with me to pack your things. Let's get back to our own homes before dark, because the buses to the urban villages stop running if it gets too late."
Knowing that Lin Muyan was leaving, Mrs. Shen's expression softened, and even her tone of voice became gentler.
But her words deeply hurt Lin Muyan once again. Her adoptive parents were hoping she would leave, and they didn't even plan to see her off on her final journey, wanting her to take the bus home by herself.
Shen Jiaojiao followed them upstairs, and the extravagance of the room once again broadened her horizons.
Last night, Lin Muyan's "wrist-cutting" terrified the Shen couple, and they dared not provoke her any further. For the time being, they could only let Lin Muyan continue to live in the master bedroom on the second floor, while Shen Jiaojiao had to sleep in the guest room.
The Shen couple originally doted on Lin Muyan. Despite the fact that their villa on the hillside in S City was extremely valuable, they gave the largest master bedroom to Lin Muyan.
The master bedroom, resembling a presidential suite, exudes luxury and sophistication; even an ordinary drinking glass costs tens of thousands of yuan.
When Shen Jiaojiao entered the bedroom, she was completely stunned.
"Mom, is this really my home from now on?"
Her eyes welled up with tears, as if something was slowly crumbling beneath them. It turned out that such a luxurious life, like that of immortals, really existed in this world. She realized that the previous twenty years of her life had been completely wasted.
Seeing how cautious Jiao Jiao was, Mrs. Shen's eyes immediately filled with tears.
“My child, you’ve suffered so much. From now on, this will be your home. This master bedroom will be your private bedroom. We’ll redecorate it according to your preferences. Whatever you want, Mom will buy it for you.”
Her poor child, living to the age of twenty, was still so shocked by an ordinary bedroom. This was the daughter of the wealthy Shen family.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen did not despise Shen Jiaojiao for her narrow-mindedness and lack of knowledge. Instead, Jiaojiao's reaction made her feel even more sorry for her, and at the same time, she resented the Lin family and Lin Muyan's vicious biological mother even more.
After composing herself, Shen Jiaojiao looked at the luxurious surroundings with anticipation in her eyes.
Seeing that Lin Muyan hadn't moved, she cautiously stepped forward and asked:
"Sister Muyan," Shen Jiaojiao called out, noticing Muyan's awkward expression, and quickly explained, "Sister Muyan, I'm calling you 'sister,' you don't mind, do you? Actually, you're a month older than me."
Seeing that Lin Muyan didn't respond, Shen Jiaojiao's eyes showed some hurt. Thinking of something, she reached out and grabbed Lin Muyan's arm, speaking softly and deliberately lowering her voice so that Mrs. Shen wouldn't hear.
"Sister Muyan, you have a lot of problems with your family of origin, especially your mother. You must be careful with her. However, your adoptive father and other siblings are all good. You can get closer to your adoptive father."
Upon hearing this, Lin Muyan finally looked up at Chen Jiaojiao. She looked kind and worried about Lin Muyan, which finally brought some comfort to Lin Muyan's sorrowful heart.
"Thank you. My biological mother must have mistreated you. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Shen Jiaojiao quickly shook her head to comfort her: "Sister Muyan, this is not your fault. We cannot choose our parents. Just treat ourselves well and be worthy of others. Don't mistreat or belittle yourself because of your parents' problems. We did nothing wrong."
Lin Muyan felt comforted again and had more hope for the unknown future.
**
Lin Muyan originally wanted to pack up some of the things in the house and take them with her, since these were all things she had worn and used. She thought that with the Shen family's wealth and the hatred that Mrs. Shen and her husband had for her, they probably wouldn't leave these things behind. They would throw them away as if they had thrown her away, without any regret or lingering feelings.
However, Mrs. Shen's gaze was extremely unfriendly. Every time Lin Muyan picked up a piece of clothing or a bag, Mrs. Shen would glare at her, as if to tell her that she was not allowed to take anything from the Shen family.
In the end, Lin Muyan didn't pack up the clothes and bags, but only a few old clothes that were out of style a few years ago but she hadn't had time to throw away.
As she packed these things, Mrs. Shen stopped glaring at her.
"Hurry up, Jiaojiao and I are waiting to go downstairs for dinner," Mrs. Shen urged.
Lin Muyan gritted her teeth and pursed her lips, looking very sad.
Let her take a few more glimpses of this home filled with memories; she'll never have the chance to come back again...
Why do I suddenly feel a little sorry for her? Mrs. Shen's lack of affection is so obvious. They'll definitely throw these things away anyway, so it's better to let the scheming girl take them.
[What kind of outrageous statement is this? What gives Lin Muyan the right? Hasn't she enjoyed twenty years of wealth and luxury enough? Why does she have to take food and leave with her?]
[Exactly, there are actually people who sympathize with that scheming green tea bitch. She got stabbed in the butt and opened her eyes, didn't she take a lot with her? Don't forget, she received over ten years of top-tier education. With her qualifications, she could thrive even after leaving the Shen family.]
What's the point of saying all this? The apocalypse is coming soon. Do money and education still matter? What matters is survival skills!
After a moment of silence, the comments reappeared. Lin Muyan noticed that they were mentioning the apocalypse again. Could there really be an end of the world?
[Our Jiaojiao has incredible survival skills; she can endure any hardship. She's an absolute doomsday queen. That pampered green tea bitch, if she really leaves the Shen family, she'll definitely be among the first to die.]
Haha, I'm thrilled! I can't wait...
Lin Muyan pondered for a moment, and suddenly her sadness disappeared.
If what the comments say is true, and if the world really is going to end, then these designer clothes, bags, and jewelry will really become worthless.
"Are you done yet? Why are you dawdling?" Mrs. Shen spoke again, this time with a much worse attitude.
Shen Jiaojiao quickly and gently shook Mrs. Shen's arm, softly comforting her:
"Mom, please give Muyan some more time. After all, she has lived here for so long, she must be reluctant to leave."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that he's really reluctant to leave and doesn't want to go anymore? This brat is indeed prone to fickleness.
