Chapter 21 Childhood Sweetheart Rong Muchen
The roar of the car engine grew louder as it approached, soon reaching Lin Muyan and Lin Xiao's vicinity.
A dark blue Rolls-Royce suddenly pulled up beside Lin Muyan, the window rolled down, and a handsome and flamboyant face appeared in the back seat.
"Mu Yan, is it really you?"
The moment Rong Muchen saw Lin Muyan, the surprise in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Lin Muyan and the comments section were both shocked.
"Mu Chen, you're back in China?"
[Wait a minute, why did Young Master Rong appear ahead of schedule?]
[If Rong Shao returns to the country at this time, doesn't that mean he'll meet Jiao Jiao sooner than expected? This...]
The comments section erupted into chaos. While dealing with Rong Muchen's greetings, Lin Muyan also kept up with the spoilers in the comments.
"Mu Yan, my friends have been saying that you were switched at birth by the Shen family. Now that I see you at the villa on the hillside, I'm relieved. I told them those guys were talking nonsense and making fun of you. I'll give them a piece of my mind later."
Logically speaking, Rong Muchen should have risked his life to escape from abroad after the global apocalypse, and it was Jiaojiao who took him in.
Rong Muchen and Lin Muyan were originally boyfriend and girlfriend. Although it wasn't officially announced, everyone in their circle knew they had been together for a while. After arriving at the Shen family, Lin Muyan caused trouble every day, repeatedly putting everyone in danger, which finally made Rong Young Master see her true colors.
Rong Shao and Jiao Jiao are a perfect match, attracted to each other and their feelings developed over time. I ship them! But now he's returned to China ahead of schedule. Could things have changed?
Although the comments section was silent for a while because of Shen Jiaojiao's confusing remarks, they still sided with her when it came to the crucial moment.
Lin Muyan didn't know that from the perspective of the comments, Mu Chen and Shen Jiaojiao were actually a couple. But then again, even the identity of the rich heiress belonged to Shen Jiaojiao. What qualifications did she, a fake heiress, have to be with a rich and handsome man like Rong Mu Chen?
Then Lin Muyan suddenly interrupted Rong Muchen.
“They’re not talking nonsense. I’m definitely not the daughter of the Shen family. I left the Shen family a few days ago. Young Master Rong, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Lin Muyan didn't know how to face the man she liked, but she still mustered up the courage to tell him the truth. Anyway, even if Mu Chen didn't know now, he would find out sooner or later, at the latest tomorrow.
She didn't dare look up at Rong Muchen, afraid of seeing a heartbreaking scene, and just kept her head down, trying to pull Lin Xiao away.
Rong Muchen was caught off guard by Lin Muyan's words, but after he came to his senses, he quickly blocked Lin Muyan's path.
"Mu Yan, don't go yet, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a joyful voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
Mrs. Shen smiled and pulled Shen Jiaojiao over, looking very anxious.
"It really is you, Mu Chen! You're back in the country?"
Mrs. Shen seemed very familiar with the situation, and she pulled Shen Jiaojiao closer to her, so that she could stand under the streetlight and be seen clearly by Rong Muchen.
Rong Muchen was taken aback. He looked at Lin Muyan, then at Mrs. Shen who was holding another girl's hand, and suddenly understood.
"Madam Shen, you..."
Mrs. Shen replied with a smile, "What a coincidence to meet you here. I was just saying that I was going to a banquet tomorrow to chat with your elders."
As she spoke, Mrs. Shen pushed Shen Jiaojiao forward and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, hurry up and call him Brother Muchen. He is the future heir of the Rong family and is the same age as you. Our two families have a good relationship and will visit each other often in the future."
Shen Jiaojiao quickly glanced at Rong Muchen, then quickly lowered her head, as if she were shy and felt a little inferior.
What a handsome guy, even more handsome than those celebrities and idols. It's a pity she's too thin and skinny now, not good-looking. I should have known better than to starve myself and pretend to be sick back in the Lin family. Now look what happened, her body is taking too long to recover.
Rong Muchen didn't pay much attention to Shen Jiaojiao, simply nodding casually before saying:
"Um, Madam Shen, Mu Yan and I still have something to discuss. Perhaps you two..."
A hint of resentment flashed in Mrs. Shen's eyes as she glanced at Lin Muyan without making a sound.
That brat is indeed born with a beautiful face, and Young Master Rong is still infatuated with her.
"Young Master Rong, you probably don't know this, but Mu Yan and Jiao Jiao were switched at birth. Actually, Jiao Jiao is the child of my Shen family. Mu Yan has chosen to return to her original family. I heard that her biological father is a carpenter, and her biological mother used to be a maid in our Shen family. She secretly had a child and somehow got the two children mixed up."
Mrs. Shen wiped away her tears, looking extremely aggrieved and heartbroken.
"My poor Jiaojiao, she's suffered for twenty years outside..."
Shen Jiaojiao cooperated with Mrs. Shen, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Lin Muyan frowned slightly, wanting to escape, but Rong Muchen blocked her way.
"Mu Chen, let's talk about my matter later. I really have something urgent to attend to right now."
Lin Xiao noticed something amiss. His sister seemed to like the wealthy young man in front of her, but Mrs. Shen came over at this moment and said those things, clearly intending to sabotage things. He was now very wary of Mrs. Shen.
"Young Master Rong, right? My sister and I have to leave. Please make way for us."
Lin Xiao took Lin Muyan's hand and stood in front of her, blocking Rong Muchen's probing gaze.
Rong Muchen's heart was filled with complex emotions. He hadn't believed his friends' claims that Mu Yan could have been switched at birth. She was clearly the daughter of the Shen family. But at this moment, he was also a little confused and didn't know how to react.
He really wanted to ask what was going on, but Madam Shen's words just now made him realize that Mu Yan's relationship with the Shen family seemed to have soured. If he continued to ask questions at this time, it would only be detrimental to Mu Yan.
Therefore, Rong Muchen took the initiative to suggest that he give Lin Muyan a ride.
"I'll give you a ride, Mu Yan. Would you like to get in the car first?"
Lin Muyan initially wanted to refuse, but when she turned her head and saw Mrs. Shen's warning look and Shen Jiaojiao's furtive glances at Rong Muchen, she suddenly changed her mind.
"Okay, then you take me and my brother inside. Brother, let's get in the car."
Lin Xiao immediately listened to his sister and sat in the passenger seat, leaving the back seat to the two of them.
Lin Muyan opened the car door herself, and Mrs. Shen and Shen Jiaojiao were not far from the car door.
Mrs. Shen lowered her voice and gave Lin Muyan a stern warning.
"Don't forget, you're no longer the daughter of the Shen family. Don't even think about using that identity to deceive Rong Muchen into being with you. The Rong family would never want the daughter of a lowly carpenter's nanny as their eldest daughter-in-law. You should give up on that idea as soon as possible."
The piercing warning buzzed in Lin Muyan's ears, and Mrs. Shen's sharp eyes stabbed into Lin Muyan's body like daggers.
Why is my adoptive mother so heartless? Even though we're no longer mother and daughter, surely she doesn't treat me like an enemy?
Her words were nothing short of acerbic and sarcastic.
Mrs. Shen wasn't like this before...
