The 60th melon
There is an orchard in the Lu family manor.
The orchard is some distance away from the villa and the surrounding environment is quiet. There are scattered lights on both sides of the orchard path, and the light and shadow are mottled and dim.
Lin Zhaoyi stopped at an orchard. The low streetlights on the roadside made his figure appear very long. He turned around and looked down at Lin Cha.
"Cha Cha, about the dress incident... I'm sorry. I didn't know you were there! If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have allowed them to give the dress to Rou Rou!"
Lin Cha didn't expect that this was what Lin Zhaoyi wanted to say, so she said casually, "It's nothing. You have no obligation to help me prepare the dress. Besides, Lin Churou is your sister, so you should take care of her."
Lin Zhaoyi shook his head. "We've been too indulgent with her. Rourou grew up outside and has no upbringing. She doesn't look like a daughter of the Lin family at all! My parents and I have wished countless times that you were the daughter of our Lin family! You're much more sensible than Rourou!"
Lin Zhaoyi sighed again: "Cha Cha, my parents and I miss you very much. We had no choice but to kick you out of the Lin family..."
Lin Cha blinked as she listened to Lin Zhaoyi's words, and her pretty brows suddenly furrowed. "I didn't understand before why Lin Churou was so hostile to me. But after hearing what you said, I do understand."
"What?" Lin Zhaoyi didn't understand what Lin Cha meant.
Lin Cha looked at Lin Zhaoyi, a mocking smile on her innocent face, "Lin Zhaoyi, your sister has been left behind for twenty years. She was swapped when she was young and suffered a lot out there. Now she's back at the Lin family, and you always despise her and belittle her. No wonder she did those things.
"Lin Churou is the real daughter of your Lin family. If you had cared a little more about her, she and I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Lin Zhaoyi was stunned for two seconds, "Cha Cha, it's clearly Rourou's fault in this matter, how can it be considered that we are biased..."
"Real or fake daughter, isn't the core just a bunch of confused family members?" Lin Cha rolled her eyes. "Instead of apologizing to me, why don't you think more about your own daughter!"
Lin Cha didn't want to say anything more to Lin Zhaoyi, so she turned around and left, picking up her skirt.
Lin Zhaoyi stayed where he was, stunned for a long time.
He hadn't seen Lin Cha for a long time and felt that Lin Cha had changed a lot.
Didn't Lin Cha used to dislike Lin Churou the most and be the most attached to him? How could she actually criticize him so bluntly?
It must be that he and his parents promised Lin Churou to kick Lin Cha out of the house, which hurt Lin Cha's heart, so she would treat him like this!
At the same time, Lin Churou hid behind a fruit tree not far away and remained silent.
She couldn't imagine that Lin Zhaoyi came to Lin Cha to apologize, even at the cost of belittling himself, and in the end it was Lin Cha who spoke up for him!
Thinking of how she had framed Lin Cha many times, Lin Churou suddenly felt a little guilty.
Suddenly, there was a sound of conversation coming from the orchard. Lin Zhaoyi called Lin's parents.
"Is that what Cha Cha said?" Lin's mother's voice on the phone was full of helplessness. "Alas, after all, she is the child we raised since she was a child! She always thinks of others! If only Rou Rou could be half as sensible as her!"
"We can't help it. Rourou grew up in the countryside," said Lin's father. "What kind of knowledge do her adoptive parents have? They are so thin-skinned and narrow-minded! Now that they are telling everyone that Rourou is our Lin family's daughter, it will be a disgrace to us!"
"Perhaps you shouldn't have believed Rourou when she threatened to commit suicide," Lin Zhaoyi also said, "How could a little girl dare to commit suicide? She was just forcing us to get rid of Chacha!"
The three members of the Lin family recalled the scene when Lin Churou left and sighed helplessly.
After all, Lin Churou was their biological child, so they were reluctant to give her up. However, Lin Cha was the child they preferred, and they had invested so much time and effort in her.
"Zhao Yi, your father and I have been busy with overseas business recently, so the family is relying on you. Please guide Rou Rou and don't let her embarrass our Lin family again!"
"Yes, Mom and Dad, I understand."
Lin Zhaoyi hung up the phone, smoked another cigarette in the orchard, and only left after stamping out the cigarette butt.
Lin Churou stood quietly behind the fruit tree.
Her hands, with crystal rhinestone manicures, were clasping the bark of the fruit tree behind her, and the bark was pulled off along with the beautiful sequins on her nails.
But she seemed unaware of the pain and continued to dig into the bark with her fingers until blood was oozing and even her nails could not be seen. Only then did Lin Churou stop.
Lin Cha returned to the banquet.
After securing the investment, Sun Qianqian left. She needed to return to Hengcheng to oversee the filming of Painted Bones. Chen Zui also returned to Hengcheng, originally to send his best wishes to Lu Yanyan and to help Sun Qianqian secure investment. Having completed his mission, he naturally had to return to filming.
Lin Cha sat bored on a garden chair, eating some exquisite snacks.
For this banquet, Lu Yanyan also invited all the regular guests of "Leisure Life", including Director Yu and his wife, but everyone had many projects on hand and was busy with socializing.
Only Lin Cha was eating snacks while opening her melon-eating system.
[A background board should be aware of its role! The bosses are all busy with socializing, so let me see what interesting news there is recently~]
Lin Cha was excitedly browsing her gossip system. However, she didn't notice that at the engagement party, the guests who had participated in "Leisure Life" felt a chill down their spines. They looked at each other, and suddenly a bad premonition emerged in their hearts.
Teacher Chen actually came with Lu Shiqing! As expected, after waiting for Lu Shiqing for nineteen years, the old man finally couldn't hold back anymore!
The first person to undergo surgery was Chen Xianzhi, who almost became a father in the previous episode.
[Oh my goodness! Mr. Chen has actually been in the gym since the end of the fourth episode of the variety show. Furthermore, he even consulted with Mo Xingyi about men's full body care!]
[Hahaha! Only by keeping your whole body looking pink and tender can you attract the attention of your aunt~]
Chen Xianzhi's old face flushed.
I had wanted to secretly tell Lu Shiqing tonight, but Lin Cha’s revelation ruined the surprise!
However, the eyes of the other guests lit up instantly, and they stared at Chen Xianzhi with their eyes wide open.
Men's full body pink maintenance?
Wow! I'm a little curious!
But she only took a bite of this melon and threw it aside. There was a more interesting melon that attracted her -
[Wow! Teacher Liu went to see Situ Qing yesterday! The two of them played some weird role-play again!]
Voldemort and Lin Daiyu's entanglement for three lifetimes? What kind of book is this?
[The key is! Teacher Liu is playing that Lin Daiyu! Woohoo, why doesn't the system have a photo?! What's the point of saying Teacher Liu is affectionate and charming, with eyes full of affection?! I want to see the real thing!!!]
The guests also looked at Liu Mingqian.
——And Situ Qing, who looked confused but still "gentle".
Not to mention Lin Cha, they also want to see it!
While Lu Yanyan was socializing with He Yunji, she was also listening to Lin Cha's thoughts. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He Yunji asked suspiciously, "Yan Yan, what are you laughing at?"
Lu Yanyan gently rubbed her face, then looked up at He Yunji, very seriously, "He Yunji, do you want to...cosplay as Lin Daiyu?"
He Yunji: ???
Why is his fiancée so weird!
All the guests involved in "Leisure" were chuckling, except for Liu Ling'er, whose eyes widened as she grabbed Liu Mingqian's hand, "Wait! Dad! What's going on between you and Sister Situ?"
——Lu Yanyan hasn’t shared this news with Liu Ling’er yet!
“This, this…”
Liu Mingqian stammered, his old face as embarrassed as an eggplant, "Ling'er, Dad has been single for ten years. You are an adult now, and it's time for Dad to pursue his own happiness!"
"I didn't say you can't have a relationship, but..." Liu Ling'er raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly, "Dad, do you still have that Lin Daiyu cosplay costume? I want to see it too!!!"
Liu Mingqian: ???
While everyone was eating melons, Zhou Zexu quietly approached Lin Cha.
He has been very honest recently, either spending time in the practice room practicing dancing or attending various announcements with his agent. There is absolutely no embarrassing gossip about him!
Moreover, after more than a month of hard work, using minoxidil and mulberry tea as herbal remedies, his hair has become thicker! His parting is less noticeable, and his baldness is less noticeable! He's very willing to share his progress with Lin Cha!
Seeing Zhou Zexu sitting next to him, Lin Cha also opened Zhou Zexu's melon very smoothly——
[Zhou Zexu has lost less hair recently!]
Zhou Zexu nodded happily.
[Popularity has also increased a lot! 】
Zhou Zexu nodded even more happily!
[But I'm still single as always! I've been a solo artist since birth and haven't even touched a girl's hand!]
The smile on Zhou Zexu's face froze, and he instantly became like a deflated ball.
Although idols are not allowed to fall in love, Zhou Zexu discovered that there is really no girl around him who likes him!
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever confessed to him!
This made Zhou Zexu wonder if he wasn't handsome enough. And those fans online who greeted him at the airport saying he was handsome were all lying to him, right?
【Something's wrong! Something's wrong!】
Lin Cha frowned. [How could a handsome guy not have any romantic interests? Let me see what's going on!]
Lin Cha emptied her mind and continued to look through Zhou Zexu's melons. As expected, she found a clue -
Last week, Zhou Zexu went to film an indoor variety show. A female celebrity asked him, "Xuxu, how many times have you been in love?" Zhou Zexu replied with a sullen face, "None of your business! Are you a paparazzi sent to secretly film me? Our idols never date!"
Lin Cha:?
Guests: ???
Last week, another female idol said to Zhou Zexu, "Xuxu, can I pursue you? If I do, we'll be together!" Zhou Zexu's face was filled with a desire to win, and he clenched his fists and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go borrow a supercar from Brother Kai! Let's see how you can catch up with me then!"
Lin Cha:?
Jiang Mingkai: ? ?
Guests: ???
Lin Cha's head was full of question marks, and he looked at Zhou Zexu with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Zexu was wary. "Why are you looking at me so suddenly?" Were his answers wrong? But he thought they were very good!
Lin Cha sighed, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said pitifully, "Xu Xu, what should I do? I'm a little cold!"
She looked Zhou Zexu up and down, almost saying, "Zhou Zexu, please lend me your coat!"
Zhou Zexu also looked Lin Cha up and down.
Lin Cha was wearing a thin strapless evening dress, revealing a large area of bright white skin on her shoulders and neck. She did feel cold on such a late autumn night.
"Yeah! It's late autumn after all!" Zhou Zexu agreed. The next second, he suddenly clutched his black suit jacket tightly and looked at Lin Cha slyly, "But I'm smart! I wore an extra suit jacket than you! So I'm not cold! Hehe!"
Lin Cha:?
Guests: ???
Lin Cha almost had three black lines on his head.
She took a few deep breaths and said nothing, but Zhou Zexu clearly saw the lines of words appearing on Lin Cha's head:
[Favorability towards Zhou Zexu: 30]
[Favorability towards Zhou Zexu: 29]
[Favorability towards Zhou Zexu: 28]
Zhou Zexu:?
What just happened?
Why did Lin Cha's favorability towards him decrease?
But even so, Zhou Zexu didn't lend his clothes to Lin Cha. He just muttered in his heart, "I was stupid enough not to bring an extra coat, why are you blaming me? Why?"
Lin Cha: “…”
[Favorability towards Zhou Zexu: 27]
Forget it, it’s better to let this kind of person be single!
The autumn wind blew, and on that late autumn night, the guests in the small garden couldn't help shivering.
People began to move indoors and change social venues.
Suddenly, a light warmth came from my shoulders and neck, and a faint scent of sea salt came over my face, like the breeze blowing from the seaside.
Lin Cha looked up and saw that Chen Zui had taken off his coat at some point and put it on himself.
"Teacher Shen?"
[Didn't he go back to Hengcheng with Mr. Sun?]
"I have some things to do in Hai City," Chen Zui said calmly, "Jiang Mingkai said he had to go back to the crew to reshoot some scenes, so he'll take Mr. Sun back to Hengcheng."
"Oh..." Lin Cha had no doubts. She just felt that the coat was indeed very warm, and the late autumn wind suddenly didn't feel cold anymore.
The light from the street lamps on both sides of the small garden fell on the side of Shen Zui's face, outlining his clean and neat outline. It was clearly the first time that Lin Cha saw Shen Zui like this, but his mind was in a trance.
Almost subconsciously, Lin Cha asked, "Teacher Shen, have we met before?"
He was intoxicated and silent, looking down at Lin Cha.
He hasn't answered yet.
Suddenly, someone knocked over the chair that Lin Cha had just been sitting on, and Lin Cha's bag fell to the ground.
At the same time, a necklace inlaid with a ten-carat pink diamond fell to the ground.
Lin Cha's thoughts were interrupted, and hesitantly picked up the necklace without paying attention to Chenzui's answer.
This handbag is a limited edition that matches her dress. The bag is very small and can't hold anything except a mobile phone and lipstick. Lin Cha didn't remember that she had stuffed a necklace in the bag.
"Okay! Lin Cha, Rourou was looking for the necklace everywhere, and it turns out you stole it!"
A sharp female voice sounded, Lin Cha turned around and saw Liao Yuhan and Lin Churou coming behind him at some point.
Liao Yuhan saw the necklace in Lin Cha's hand and stepped forward to snatch it back.
"What a shameless guy! He actually stole something at a dinner party! Rourou, look quickly, is this the necklace your parents gave you for your birthday?"
Lin Churou looked at Lin Cha with a complicated expression. Then, she looked at the necklace Liao Yuhan mentioned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, this is the necklace I lost."
"Sure enough! Lin Cha, you're the one who stole the things! Now we've caught you red-handed!"
The guests were about to return to the villa to rest, but when they heard the dispute in the garden, they stopped to watch.
Lin Zhaoyi was just chatting about business matters with He Yunji and others when he saw Lin Churou and Lin Cha in the center of the crowd and squeezed in.
"Rou Rou, what are you doing again!" Lin Zhaoyi stepped forward and scolded without saying a word.
Lin Churou's eyes flashed with sadness, and she quickly sneered, "Lin Zhaoyi, you think I'm messing around without asking anything?"
"Is Lin Cha messing around? You must be making things difficult for her again!" Lin Zhaoyi's face was gloomy. "Put the necklace away quickly. Just treat it as a misunderstanding and stop making a fuss!"
Lin Churou looked at Lin Zhaoyi in disbelief, and the little hope in her heart was instantly shattered.
She took a deep breath, a strange smile on her lips, and suddenly leaned close to Lin Zhaoyi, "Brother, Liao Yuhan is now accusing Lin Cha of stealing the necklace! You only have two choices. Either help Lin Cha identify me and say I framed her, or help me beat Lin Cha to death! The former will embarrass our Lin family in the wealthy circle, and the latter will only embarrass your dear ex-sister. Brother, you choose one!"
Lin Zhaoyi froze. He looked at Lin Churou. He didn't know why his previously well-behaved sister had become so unfamiliar.
“Rou Rou, you——!”
Lin Churou's expression remained calm. She glanced at Lin Cha for a moment, perhaps with a hint of guilt, but when she looked at Lin Zhaoyi, it was completely indifferent.
She wanted to replicate the road in her dreams.
Only when villains like Lin Cha live worse and worse, will her life as the protagonist be better.
Even if Lin Cha is the only one who understands her, nothing can be changed.
"So, it was the abandoned daughter of the Lin family who stole the real daughter's necklace?"
"That fake daughter's parents probably used such dirty tricks to steal Lin Churou's life! They're really in the same bloodline, and their blood is full of these dirty stealing genes!"
"The Lin family just kicked her out. That's really easy for her. If it were up to me, I'd pursue her legal responsibility and send her whole family to jail!"
Lin Cha listened to the voices of people around him scolding him, and his round deer eyes rolled around.
The necklace definitely wasn't hers, and it's unlikely to have accidentally fallen into her bag. So... Lin Churou took action?!
Yes, if she falsely accused herself of theft on such a grand stage as Lu Yanyan's engagement dinner, and it was proven true, she would definitely be ridiculed by the public and would also cause dissatisfaction among netizens.
In this way, Lin Churou successfully achieved the achievement of slapping the female supporting character in the face, and she can happily return to the real world!
However, Lin Cha thought again...Sun Qianqian had just promised her 1% of the profits from "Hua Gu"!
So much money!
Moreover, it’s quite fun to spend time with other regular guests on "Leisure Life". We have to finish filming the variety show anyway, right?
I left like this, feeling a little unwilling...
[Liao Yuhan must have secretly put the necklace into my bag. I don't know if it was captured by the surveillance camera.]
Lin Cha stroked his chin in thought, his expression as innocent as ever.
[Oh, there must be no surveillance footage! Liao Yuhan framed her sister this way before, and it worked. She's very familiar with this trick. I'm afraid there's no evidence!]
[Yes, she is an illegitimate daughter, but she was able to enter the Liao family while Madam Liao and Miss Liao were still alive. She must have some skills!]
[No, a small fry like me really can't compare!]
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Lu Yanyan and others.
Illegitimate daughter?
Is there still this melon about Liao Yuhan?
When she returned to the Liao family, the Liao family claimed that she was their biological daughter, but was accidentally left behind.
I didn't expect that she was actually an illegitimate daughter! How dare she bring her into the Liao family so openly!
It doesn’t matter if we can’t find any evidence. As long as we have this handle, we can find Liao Yuhan and deal with her!
Mrs. Liao did not come to the engagement party, but Lu Yanyan remembered that Mrs. Liao's mother, Mrs. Qin, Liao Yuhan's nominal grandmother, was also at the engagement party.
Lu Yanyan was very quick and immediately found Old Madam Qin in the crowd and invited her to participate in the show.
Madam Qin was confused when she heard Lin Cha's inner voice -
[Alas, in the final analysis, it is still Mrs. Liao and Miss Liao who are too timid! ]
[How dare they let an illegitimate daughter ride on their head! Moreover, it's been five years since this happened, and they still don't know that Liao Yuhan had falsely accused Miss Liao!]
Old Madam Qin’s old eyes widened instantly!
Illegitimate daughter?
Frame Miss Liao?
What the hell is going on!
Mrs. Qin remembered that five years ago, her daughter and son-in-law brought Liao Yuhan home, saying that they had given birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter was fine, but the younger daughter was lost in the hospital. They were worried that Mrs. Qin would be sad to know the truth, so they kept it a secret.
Now, the youngest daughter has finally been found, she is Liao Yuhan.
At that time, Old Madam Qin was so distressed that she took great care of her little granddaughter Liao Yuhan.
She noticed that her daughter didn't like Liao Yuhan very much, but at that time she just thought that her daughter had never taken care of Liao Yuhan and was not close to her.
Unexpectedly... Liao Yuhan turned out to be an illegitimate daughter! Not her biological granddaughter at all!
A mistress's child actually dared to enter the Liao family so brazenly and let their daughter raise him. Does the Liao family really take their Qin family seriously?
[It's not enough that Liao Yuhan is using Madam Liao's youngest daughter's identity to plot against the Liao and Qin families' assets. Now, Liao Yuhan is even plotting against her brother-in-law!]
Liao Yuhan was still trying to explain Lin Cha's faults, but Lu Yanyan and Old Madam Qin's ears were tilted towards Lin Cha.
[Ah! It's not a calculation, it's already done!]
Seeing she couldn't get Lin Zhaoyi to do anything, Liao Yuhan set her sights on her brother-in-law! And Liao Yuhan's future brother-in-law wasn't any good either, a scumbag. Knowing he was a whoremonger, Liao Yuhan even disguised herself as a fallen woman and went to the club he frequented! She ended up running into him by chance!!!
[Liao Yuhan is really working hard to get to the top! ]
"shameless!"
Old Madam Qin was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Her shameless son-in-law not only lives a life of debauchery, but also gave birth to such an unruly illegitimate daughter!
If others knew that the Qin family's granddaughter and the Liao family's daughter were actually pretending to be a prostitute, where would the Qin family put their face, where would the Liao family put their face!
When Liao Yuhan heard Madam Qin's voice, he thought that Madam Qin was supporting him, so he spoke even louder.
"Lin Cha! If you don't kneel down and apologize to Rourou today, we won't play this game anymore! This necklace is a limited edition from C, worth over a million! If you call the police, you could get locked up for three to five years—"
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a crisp applause woke up all the onlookers and the scene became quiet in an instant.
Liao Yuhan covered her face in disbelief, "Grandma, why did you hit me?"
【I know! ! ! 】
Lin Cha's voice was full of joy, as if he was not the center of this bloody storm at all, but just a happy spectator.
[Old Madam Qin must have known about Liao Yuhan and her brother-in-law Jiangjiang Nianniang! ]
[Just now! In the supercar that the Liao family gave to the eldest daughter as an engagement gift!]
[Ouch! Supercars have a low chassis to begin with, and my brother-in-law is a heavyset guy weighing over 200 pounds. The car was shaking so hard just now that the chassis almost hit the ground. The tires are almost deflated!]
[But luckily it was only two minutes, the supercar managed to hold on. The dashcam captured it all! The system is recording it!]
Two minutes?
Smack!
Almost the same as Jiang Mingkai 2333!
Lu Yanyan glanced at the supercar that the Liao family gave her and shook her head in disgust.
This thing is dirty! I can’t have it!
And the Lu family was originally going to give the Liao family that investment... Looks like forget it now!
Madam Qin took a deep breath.
When you get older, you can’t get too angry, as it will cause your blood pressure to rise.
She and Lu Yanyan looked at each other and nodded slightly. Lu Yanyan immediately understood and asked someone to bring the dashcam from the supercar.
Liao Yuhan didn't realize where the dashcam came from for a moment, but when she heard her own screams one after another from it, her mind went blank.
Huang Yu's mind also went blank.
——Huang Yu is Liao Yuhan’s future brother-in-law.
The woman's screams and the man's panting, mixed with all kinds of suggestive words, echoed in this rare quiet manor.
Everyone heard the two people's voices.
But I only listened for two minutes.
After all, the two people's baby-making activities only lasted two minutes.
Immediately, Huang Yu pressed on Liao Yuhan as if he had lost his temper. Liao Yuhan almost suffered internal bleeding from the pressure on her back, and her voice was filled with grievance.
"So Young Master Huang only has two minutes!"
"After all, it's normal to have kidney deficiency if you're fat!"
"It's hilarious! Liao Yuhan just said in the video that she couldn't handle it because it was too big. How could that be possible? She's really trying her best!"
"He's just a fat guy. The Liao family isn't bad either. Why would Liao Yuhan be so desperate?"
Liao Yuhan and Huang Yu's faces turned pale.
How could she forget to delete this video!
Huang Yu is just a backup after all, and her favorite is still Lin Zhaoyi!
Liao Yuhan immediately looked at Lin Zhaoyi, trying to see something in Lin Zhaoyi's eyes, but Lin Zhaoyi looked indifferent to her and showed no interest at all.
The looks of the other people around were also full of ridicule.
Liao Yuhan was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Shouldn't everyone criticize Lin Cha?
Lin Cha stole Lin Churou's necklace! Why are all the eyes on her?
Immediately afterwards, the car recorder did not stop and there was new content.
——In the supercar, Liao Yuhan’s cell phone rang and she answered the call.
"Rou Rou, you've finally decided to take action against Lin Cha! I told you! You're just too kindhearted. You don't need to be polite to a woman like Lin Cha!"
"Hmm...it's not difficult. You still have that pink diamond necklace your parents gave you for your last birthday, right? Give it to me, and I'll take care of everything else!"
"I promise that after tonight's engagement party, Lin Cha will never appear in your world again!"
