Chapter 23 What is She?
Lin Shuwan stood in the living room, hesitating, a little unsure of Fu Yanci's temperament. She didn't know whether she should leave immediately or -
"What are you standing there for? Waiting for me to feed you?" Fu Yanci's voice was still so choking as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lin Shuwan walked into the kitchen. On the dining table was a pot of light sea cucumber and abalone porridge, pan-fried grouper, and a few simple and refreshing side dishes.
All of this was done by Fu Yanci alone.
Lin Shuwan was surprised and glanced at the other person curiously. Fu Yanci was clearly serving porridge, but he noticed her gaze.
His expression was dull. "Why, do you think it's strange that a young master like me can cook?"
Lin Shuwan shook his head, then nodded.
It's quite a contrast indeed.
Fu Yanci has a rebellious personality and always looks down on others, and he never tolerates anyone.
It's really unlike him to cook and take care of people.
Fu Yanci handed the porridge to Lin Shuwan, lowered his head and began to eat, explaining in a calm tone.
"My parents were busy with work and didn't have time to take care of me when I was little, but I didn't want to eat the food cooked by the nanny, so I had to cook for myself."
Commander Fu is in the army and has a lot of tasks to do. Mrs. Fu is a diplomat and is often on business trips. The couple is rarely together and spends very little time with their only son.
It is almost possible to imagine that the young Fu Yanci longed for warmth, but his parents were only concerned about the family and had no time to take care of their own. He stood alone in front of the stove, trying hard to create the taste of home.
Lin Shuwan was about to offer words of comfort when Fu Yanci nonchalantly said, "This is also good. They are both busy with work and have no time to cheat, nor do they have time to care about me."
“........”
Yes, in their circle, having mistresses is extremely common. Everyone has five, six, seven or eight mistresses outside.
The identity of illegitimate children is not uncommon. They fight each other to the death in secret, but have to pretend to be brothers on the surface.
I've seen it so many times that I've gone from being disgusted to being numb.
The two of them had a peaceful breakfast together. Baidao Bay is far away from the bustling area.
Lin Shuwan thought that Fu Yanci would be a gentleman and send her there, or at least to the city.
But she overthought it.
Fu Yanci has no such thing as gentlemanly manners at all.
"I have things to do, so feel free to do as you are done."
After giving the instructions, Fu Yanci took the keys and went out, leaving the man and the dog standing in the living room looking at each other.
"Your master is really tasteless!"
Millions roared in agreement.
Lin Shuwan called a taxi to go home, and Qiao Xinyuan called her on the way.
"Wanwan, you didn't sleep at my place yesterday? Then where did you sleep? Were you seduced away by some bad man?!" Qiao Xinyuan's loud voice came through the microphone, and the driver couldn't help but look over through the rearview mirror.
Lin Shuwan felt a little guilty.
I guessed it right, but not completely right.
"No, I was too tired last night so I just booked a room upstairs."
Although he didn't know the driver, Lin Shuwan still lacked confidence when he said this.
"That's good, that's good. As long as no pigs are trying to get my pearl and jade cabbage, it's fine." Qiao Xinyuan was relieved, then smiled slyly and shared her inner secrets with Lin Shuwan.
"But I got a big cabbage last night. Don't tell me, although Dr. Qu looks innocent and shy, I didn't expect she's quite fierce. When a man is jealous in bed, it's the most exciting and ecstatic thing."
“........”
Lin Shuwan blushed for her and glanced at the driver to make sure he couldn't hear Qiao Xinyuan's dirty talk. "Be careful, Doctor Qu looks like a serious person."
"You're saying that I'm not serious? Then I'm also teaching him by words and deeds, teaching him to be a truly mature man."
"Don't be such a know-it-all!" Lin Shuwan was speechless.
However, given Qiao Xinyuan's personality, it might be difficult for her to find someone who can make her change her mind.
When Lin Shuwan returned to the Lin family's house, the living room was unexpectedly lively.
"This is the cashmere sweater I bought for Dad. It's very warm in winter. This is the jewel necklace I bought for Mom. I have good taste, right? My dear brother, of course, won't be left out. This is the latest Patek Philippe watch. Here!"
"Thank you, my dear sister, for not forgetting us when you go out to play." Lin Mucheng said in a doting tone.
"Of course, I think of you all the time!"
"Yaoyao is so thoughtful. Did you suffer while playing outside? Why do you look thinner?" Mother Lin pulled her aside to observe her carefully.
It turned out that Lin Yuyao had returned.
The atmosphere in the living room was warm and harmonious, and Lin Shuwan felt like an outsider.
No, she is.
She felt nothing, no sadness or loss.
For the past twenty years, the Lin family had been living happily like this. She knew that she didn't belong here.
Someone discovered her. Lin Yuyao frowned, her eyes impatient and irritable, and asked rudely, "Why are you still staying in our house?"
"Yaoyao!" Mother Lin's eyes were unnatural, and she gently pulled Lin Yuyao, "Shuwan is our family member, where else can he be if not here?"
"When did she become a member of the family?! She's just an illegitimate daughter, yet she's allowed into the family without any sense of responsibility!"
"Yaoyao, stop messing around." Lin Ruohai warned, but his tone was not serious.
"You always say I'm fooling around!" Lin Yuyao couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "I hate her! I don't want to see her! In this family, either she or me! Which daughter do you want?!"
"Yaoyao!"
Lin Mucheng hugged Lin Yuyao and soothed her softly, "Shuwan is a family member just like you. Don't be so sensitive."
"Even you are speaking for her?!" Lin Yuyao couldn't believe it, and her eyes looking at Lin Shuwan became more vicious.
"I'm not helping her." Lin Mucheng explained, "Shuwan and we are family. Wouldn't it be better if we all lived in harmony?"
"Who is she and her family? She is just an illegitimate daughter who is not presentable! She will always be! I am your daughter!" Lin Yuyao screamed like crazy, as if reminding everyone of this.
Lin's parents didn't look happy. They still remembered that Lin Mucheng had said when he came back that Lin Shuwan was bullied outside because of her identity.
"What illegitimate daughter?" Lin Ruohai's face was heavy and his eyes were serious. "You two are my daughters, Lin Ruohai. Yaoyao, you must obey me."
"I won't listen!" Lin Yuyao was restless, angry and resentful, pointing at Lin Shuwan, "Who the hell is she?! How dare she treat me like that? I am your daughter! The daughter who accompanies you and cares for you! This bitch wants to take everything from me! I won't let her go!"
Lin Yuyao glared at Lin Shuwan fiercely and ran out crying.
"Yaoyao——"
Lin Mucheng hurriedly chased after him, and his mother followed worriedly behind.
Father Lin's eyes were filled with self-blame and heartache. He sighed heavily and looked up at Lin Shuwan with a complicated look.
Lin Shuwan felt nothing in his heart, but just felt very tired.
She clearly didn't do anything, she didn't even say a word, but it turned out like this, and everyone seemed to think it was her fault.
So who should she blame for the way her life turned out?
