The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Yuyan assumed he believed her.

"Think about it. If I asked Lin Yue to bring you water, and she truly cared about us, shouldn't she have reminded you when she gave you the water, instead of letting you drink it?"

Ling Wenchen nodded.

"Also, do you have no memory of what happened after you drank the water? If she truly cared for you, why did you end up in my room instead of at the hospital?"

Ling Wenchen nodded again.

Jiang Yuyan continued, "Since she didn't do anything, yet she tells you everything she did was because of me? Do you know why she would say that to you?"

Ling Wenchen wasn't stupid; combining what Jiang Yuyan said, he easily came to a conclusion.

"Lin Yue knows my identity and wants to take advantage of my good impression of her? But Lin Shiping and I are just soldiers; we can't do anything for her."

Jiang Yuyan shook her head. "You're too naive. Women, when they see a man of status and good looks, it's already a sign of conscience if they don't pounce on him. Since she didn't do that, it means the benefits she's planning aren't for now, but for the future."

Ling Wenchen: "..."

"That's unlikely. Lin Yue only knows that Lin Shiping and I are soldiers. She doesn't know my rank—"

Ling Wenchen suddenly realized that Lin Yue's eyes were full of calculation and ambition when she looked at him. If she really didn't know his true identity, she wouldn't have drugged him on the first time.

Jiang Yuyan saw his expression turn cold and asked, "What did you think of?" Had Lin Yue done something else to him?

Seeing the excited look in her eyes, eager to hear the gossip, Ling Wenchen felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. He honestly told her what had happened before.

"Didn't I say that I went to look for you after the incident? But I heard from the neighbors that you were kicked out of the Lin family. I happened to run into Lin Yue and wanted to ask her about you, but she told me that you went out to play and hadn't come back yet."

From that time on, Ling Wenchen never went to the Lin family again.

Jiang Yuyan didn't expect Lin Yue to be so stupid as to tell such an obvious lie. She probably didn't realize that people outside had already spread all the news about the Lin family, and that Ling Wenchen had happened to overhear it.

"So now that you know the whole story, you can take the gift back. I—"

Ling Wenchen interrupted her, "What I gave you wasn't just from me, but also from your brother Lin Shiping. Besides, you were also a victim in that incident, and I've been framing you all along. You should accept my gifts, otherwise you're still angry with me?"

Jiang Yuyan was speechless, but she knew that if she didn't accept it, it would be even worse if the two of them kept pushing it back and forth.

"Then I'll let it go this time. Don't send it next time, I won't accept it."

Seeing her pout, Ling Wenchen's eyes flashed with amusement. "Okay, I understand."

We'll talk about the next time next time.

Jiang Muyi called out, "Little sister, shouldn't we be going?" What's the matter that takes so long to say?

Also, the way that soldier named Ling looked at the little girl was strange, which made him resent him from the bottom of his heart, or rather, resent all men who got close to the little girl.

Hmph, they're all a bunch of ill-intentioned bastards.

Jiang Yuyan turned around, "Hey, Second Brother, wait a minute, we've almost finished talking."

Turning to Ling Wenchen, she said, "Then we'll be going now. Remember to tell Brother Lin to come visit me when you have time. Thank you, Comrade Ling."

After saying that, without waiting for him to say anything more, she turned around and left, calling Jiang Muyi to leave together.

Ling Wenchen didn't move. He watched them leave before turning around and walking away.

Two figures stood in a public pavilion not far from the Lin family's house.

"You mean my younger sister came to Beijing? Where is she? I want to see her and see how she's doing."

Lin Shiping excitedly grabbed Ling Wenchen's shoulder and said.

Ling Wenchen sighed helplessly, "She said you should go see her when you have time, not right now."

"I'm fine now—"

Ling Wenchen glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, his gaze sharpening as he looked at him. "The people following you, you're saying you're alright now?"

Lin Shiping immediately deflated, lowered his head, and covered his face. "Those were people my parents hired to keep an eye on me. They were afraid I would abandon them and run off to find my little sister."

Ling Wenchen was puzzled, not expecting the Lin family to go to such lengths.

"Does Jiang Yuyan have a grudge against your parents? A blood feud or something? Otherwise, why would they resent her so much? And why wouldn't they let you and your siblings see each other?"

If they weren't enemies, after so many years of nurturing a relationship, would it be necessary to be so ruthless?

Lin Shiping shook his head. "When I went home this time, I found that my parents had changed. They seemed to be more indifferent, no, I should say they were more disgusted with my younger sister. I asked my dad why, and he said that my younger sister was an ungrateful wretch who didn't forget to extort money from the family even after leaving home."

Ling Wenchen thought about Jiang Yuyan's quirky personality and realized that she might actually do it.

"However, I've lived with my younger sister for so many years, and I know she's not that kind of person. If she really did that, it must be because she suffered a great injustice that forced her to do it."

Ling Wenchen: "..." This guy—his sister-complex hasn't changed at all.

"Did you see Lin Yue when you went home this time? What kind of person do you think she is?"

When Lin Yue was mentioned, Lin Shiping was speechless.

"She—is not my sister. Although she really looks a lot like my parents, and although she may really be my parents' biological daughter, she is not my sister. I don't have any resentment towards my parents that I would encourage them to have a younger sister."

Ling Wenchen's gaze deepened. "You mean, Lin Yue has been speaking ill of Jiang Yuyan to your parents? Why? Now that Jiang Yuyan has left, isn't she afraid of making things worse?"

If someone has already left, but people keep talking about her existence, it will definitely make them keep thinking about her.

"No, she wasn't saying anything bad about my younger sister; she was speaking up for her. But the meaning behind her words was strange, and I didn't like it. It was as if she was saying nice things, but her intention was to incite resentment between Mom and Dad towards my younger sister."

It's not Yu Yan's fault at all. It's all because of her. Otherwise, Yu Yan wouldn't have resented her parents and extorted so much money from them out of spite.

What do you mean it's not Sister Yuyan's fault? It's all because of her that Sister Yuyan threw a tantrum at Mom and Dad.

.....

After listening to all that, even if Lin Shiping was completely clueless, he could tell from his parents' increasingly angry expressions that Lin Yue had malicious intentions.

Seeing that he was very calm, Ling Wenchen knew that the Lin family had not told him about his affair with Jiang Yuyan.

Also.

If Lin Shiping knew that their newly brought-back biological daughter, Lin Shiping's own sister, had plotted against his good brother and his beloved little sister on their very first meeting, then the Lin family would definitely develop a rift with Lin Shiping.

"So what are your plans for the future?"

After all, Lin Shiping is the son of the Lin family. No matter how much he doesn't want to go home, he has to acknowledge this family, unless he doesn't want to continue down this path in the future.

Just then, a sweet, delicate female voice interrupted.

"Brother Ling, Big Brother, why are you here? Why don't you come inside and sit down?"
