[The entire book was revised over three days.]
It was another morning when she didn't feel like typing. Jin Suting woke up and curled up on the sofa, pressing the remote control intermittently, constantly changing the programs on the wall-mounted TV.
The remote control was tuned to a dating show, and it happened to be broadcasting a scene where the male and female contestants successfully held hands, and the male guest promised to give her a lifetime of happiness. Without changing the channel, Jin Suting laughed out loud: "So hasty to spend a lifetime together? Are you sure you don't want to think about it again? This really isn't a setup by the production team? Hahahaha..."
The laughter was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the cell phone's "Little Apple". Jin Suting answered the phone without checking the caller ID.
"Come back to the Jin family's old house for dinner tomorrow night." It was Jin Qunwei, Jin's father. His tone was meticulous and serious, as if he was announcing something to his employees.
Without asking what the matter was, Jin Suting just said "oh" obediently, and the other party hung up the phone.
Jin Suting smiled bitterly and really didn't want to say a word.
Jin Suting threw her phone back on the table and continued watching the blind date show as if nothing had happened.
——
The next night, Jin Suting pulled out a wrinkled little dress from the closet.
How long has it been since she last went back to the Jin family's old house? It's been half a year. The last time she went back was when her good sister Jin Chu celebrated her birthday.
She didn't like wearing formal attire. In Jing Ruizi's words, she simply couldn't be presentable. As a bestselling novelist, she disdained to participate in those superficially cheerful conversations but veiled the ugly and dirty money-for-sex transactions! She could create a miracle with her pen! A bestselling miracle!
Every time she returned to the Jin family's old house, she had to wear a dress. It didn't matter if it was wrinkled, she could just iron it out, Jin Suting thought optimistically.
Looking at the little dress that was neatly ironed, Jin Suting put it on with a smile.
She then ran to the mirror to put on some light makeup, put on some high heels, and a small bilingbiling bag, then went out with the keys to her Cayenne.
This Cayenne was a birthday gift from He Lanxiu on her twentieth birthday. When Jin Chuting was a senior, she wondered if he had ever loved her. If he hadn't, would he have given her such an expensive gift? If he had, why would he have been with Jin Chu?
He knew clearly that she hated Jin Chu the most.
——
Jin Suting's driving skills weren't very good; she took the test two or three times before passing. Even on a good bike, she rode cautiously and at a snail's pace.
A black Maserati pulled up at the gate of the gilded villa. The door opened, and a pair of slender legs stepped out. Her figure was accentuated by her fitted dress, and her face, heavily made up, looked like a defiant wild cat against the night sky. The security guard and maid at the gate greeted the newcomer with a respectful address: "Second Miss."
Jin Chu nodded slightly and walked into the villa gate.
After a long time, a silver Cayenne stopped at the gate of the gilded villa. Jin Suting opened the car door and jumped out of the car. Her eight-centimeter high heels almost twisted her ankle.
Jin Suting greeted the security guard and maid enthusiastically: "Hello~"
The security guard and the maid replied, "Hello, Miss."
Jin Suting walked in with a smile, pushed open the familiar yet unfamiliar door, prepared herself mentally again, and walked in.
Sitting on the leather sofa in the hall were her adoptive father, mother, and sister.
Adoptive father Jin Weiqun was wearing reading glasses and holding a financial newspaper. His sister Jin Chu was holding an entertainment magazine with her own cover and flipping through the pages. His adoptive mother Jing Ruizi was peeling an apple for his sister with a kind smile on her face.
Just like a happy family of three, this damn feeling of jealousy really made Jin Suting feel very uncomfortable.
Just like every time she came back, Jin Suting greeted her father, mother and sister, then sat down quietly aside.
During this time, Jin's father Jin Qunwei looked up at her, but Jin's mother Jing Ruizi didn't even raise her head. She peeled an apple and shouted, "Auntie Wang, when will the food be ready? Everyone is here. You can't let them wait."
Her tone was still sharp and sarcastic. Jin Suting used to wonder why she could smile so lovingly to her in front of the media and outside, but then turn a face like she was meeting an enemy when she got home. As she grew older, she didn't care so much anymore. Maybe she just got used to it.
The person called "Wang Ma" said, "It will be soon, ma'am."
Jing Ruizi handed the peeled apple to Jin Chu, who naturally took it. Perhaps because he was afraid of smudged his lipstick, he took small bites of it.
Jing Ruizi turned around and glanced at Jin Suting, who was sitting beside him carefree, and said, "I called you back today to celebrate my Chuchu winning the female lead role in the script of 'The Queen of Qin'." He turned to look at Jin Chu, his eyes full of pity, but said to Jin Suting, "You look like you don't look like a daughter of the Jin family at all. Learn more from my Chuchu, otherwise I'd be embarrassed to take you out."
Upon hearing this, Jin Qunwei glanced at Jing Ruizi imperceptibly. Jin Suting felt desolate in her heart, but she didn't show it at all: "When have you ever taken me out? Jing Da's agent? Besides, I am what I am, I am happy!"
Jing Ruizi sneered: "Oh, you've grown up and learned to talk back? Jin Qunwei, look at the good daughter you raised!"
"Jin Suting, what's wrong with you? Every time you come back, you just want to make your mother angry?" Jin Qunwei put down the financial newspaper and said coldly, "Auntie Wang, serve the food."
Aunt Wang responded and served the dishes.
Jin Suting was so angry that she was speechless. What did she mean by making Jing Ruizi angry?
Jing Ruizi looked at Jin Suting proudly.
Jin Chu didn't say a word from beginning to end, and was as quiet as a transparent person.
