Lin's father looked at Lin Qinghuan with great confusion and asked curiously, "Qinghuan, tell me, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Lin Qinghuan recalled the original owner's past experiences, and a trace of resentment, hatred, and dissatisfaction appeared on her face.
"In front of everyone, Lin Piaoxue always puts on the act of a good older sister, but behind the scenes she does dirty things. She always intentionally or unintentionally puts me down and belittles me in order to raise her own status. What's worse is that she hints to her friends and her admirers to use words to mock me and even hit me."
“When I was in second grade, I studied hard to please you all. But because I was better at studying than her, I was bullied by my classmates. They would put cockroaches and toads in my desk every few days. Li Jian and his friends would also snatch my schoolbag and throw it on the ground. They would also tear up my notebooks so that I would not have a notebook to do my homework.”
Hearing Lin Qinghuan's words, Lin's father felt a pang of sadness and asked, "Why didn't you tell us?"
Lin Qinghuan looked at her father with a pained expression, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "I have told you, but you have never once sought justice for me. You even scolded me for causing trouble and for not being as likable as Lin Piaoxue."
“My own brother saw me being beaten but did nothing about it, coldly walking past me as if I were an insignificant stranger.”
"Dad, do you know? Once, I pretended to be asleep, and I overheard my own sister, Lin Piaoxue, whispering in my ear, 'Lin Qinghuan, why don't you just be my stepping stone? Why do you have to compete with me for my affection and try to outdo me in academics? If you try to steal my thunder, I'll make you wish you were dead.'"
“From that day on, I knew deeply that I could not be better than Lin Piaoxue in any way. I had to keep a low profile. My wish was to grow up, leave the Lin family, leave Baiyun Village, and never have anything to do with you again.”
"Dad, if you and Mom don't like me, why did you bring me into this world to suffer? Why did you make me live a life worse than death since I was a child? Why are you so cruel?"
A mix of emotions welled up in Lin's father's heart. He looked at Lin Qinghuan with guilt, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say to comfort her. In the end, he sighed, "Qinghuan! It's all because your father hasn't cared for you enough."
Lin Qinghuan said coldly, "Father, I hate you all, I hate every single person in this family. You are all cold-blooded and heartless people. The worst thing in my life is being born into the Lin family. I hate living with you. Every minute and every second I spend with you makes me feel suffocated. In my heart, you are more terrifying and heartless than demons and monsters."
Lin's father's pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Lin Qinghuan in disbelief. He never imagined that Lin Qinghuan would hate them so much.
He naively thought that Lin Qinghuan would put aside her prejudices and the family would reconcile as before, but now it seems that was just wishful thinking on his part.
Blood is thicker than water, and Lin Qinghuan is still his daughter no matter what, but now Lin Qinghuan hates them to the bone.
How did things get to this point?
After a long silence, Lin's father's lips moved a few times before he said with difficulty, "Qinghuan, we are family. Family members shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Let bygones be bygones, and let's start over, okay?"
"No way!" Lin Qinghuan refused outright.
Late-coming family affection is worth less than grass. She is past the age of needing family affection, and she is not the original owner of this body. She has no right to say the word "forgive" on her behalf. Besides, the Lin family does not deserve it!
Lin's father sighed, his eyes filled with bitterness.
That's enough! You can't force things.
Lin's father walked into the main room with his hands behind his back. Lin Qinghuan noticed that his back was slightly hunched and he didn't seem as straight as before.
If only I had known this would happen! Who am I putting on this act for now, the original owner? But the original owner can no longer see it.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the convenience store. Lin Qinghuan's expression turned serious. Who was making a scene in the convenience store?
Lin's father also heard the commotion and quickly walked out of the main room, looking displeased. He said, "What's going on? Why are you arguing?"
Lin Qinghuan held her breath, listened intently for a moment, and said softly, "The noise is too loud, I can't hear clearly, but I can vaguely hear that Er Laizi and Li Jian are arguing."
Lin's father, with a gloomy face, was making a scene at the entrance of the convenience store, showing no respect for him.
With his hands behind his back, Lin's father suppressed his anger and stormed toward the convenience store.
Lin Qinghuan thought about it and realized that Li Jian and Er Laizi were not good people, and there was also a troublemaker named Lin Piaoxue there. Going there might get them involved, so staying away from trouble was the best choice. Therefore, she did not go to the convenience store with her father to watch the excitement.
Lin Qinghuan sat in the courtyard, listening to the increasingly loud noise. A slight smile appeared on her lips. Let them argue! Let them argue as much as they want! It would be best if Li Jian and Er Lai had a fight.
She had experienced Er Laizi's skills firsthand; Li Jian was no match for him. Lin Qinghuan was looking forward to Er Laizi beating Li Jian until he cried for his parents, which would indirectly help her and the original owner vent their anger.
"Ah!" A high-pitched scream rang out.
Lin Qinghuan jumped up excitedly, "Holy crap! Are they really fighting?"
No! She has to go see what's going on at the convenience store right away.
Unable to contain her burgeoning curiosity, Lin Piaoxue quickly walked towards the convenience store.
When Lin Qinghuan arrived at the convenience store, she saw Li Jian being beaten on the ground by Lai Zi. Lin Piaoxue stood by and kept shouting, "Stop hitting him! Li Jian, Wang Xiao, stop hitting him!"
Good heavens! Lin Piaoxue is still calling Er Laizi by his full name at this moment. She should have kept her gentle and reasonable image. Lin Qinghuan was impressed!
Lin's father and Lin Qing stood helplessly by. They wanted to go forward and pull him away, but Er Laizi wouldn't let them interfere. They were also at a loss!
Lin Qinghuan spotted some small stones on the ground, secretly bent down, picked up two stones, and threw them at Lin Piaoxue's back of the knee.
Lin Piaoxue suddenly felt numbness in her legs, lost her balance, and fell uncontrollably towards Li Jian and Er Laizi, landing right on top of Er Laizi.
Caught off guard, Er Laizi was hit by Lin Piaoxue and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, gasping for breath in pain.
Li Jian was already feeling uncomfortable enough with Er Laizi sitting on him, but then Lin Piaoxue joined in, making things even worse. He felt like his bones were falling apart and he was in great pain all over.
"Lin Piaoxue, you're asking for death!" Erlaizi shouted angrily as he pushed Lin Piaoxue away, glaring at her.
Lin Piaoxue was pushed hard by Er Laizi and fell to the ground. She looked quite disheveled, but also pitiful.
Lin Piaoxue looked at Erlaizi with a weak and helpless expression and explained, "I didn't mean to."
“If you didn’t do it on purpose, then it was intentional,” Er Laizi retorted.
Lin's mother helped Lin Piaoxue up and said with dissatisfaction, "You rascal, you've gone too far. Piaoxue did it on purpose."
