Chapter 37: Still Trying To Make Things Difficult
Early this morning, Lin Yin did not see Su Fei. Auntie Li came over and said, “Miss has something on at school and needs to leave early. Second Miss, have breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Su.”
Before she went downstairs, Lin Yin realized that the atmosphere downstairs was not right. Su Zhen and Chu Yun sat at the dining table and looked at Lin Yin gloomily.
Just half an hour ago, Su Fei had complained to them that Lin Yin had provoked the school bully yesterday and fought with them. Her actions were vulgar. She was afraid of embarrassing the Su family and went forward to persuade her. However, she was scolded by Lin Yin. She was a little worried about Lin Yin, afraid that no one would know if she was bullied in school.
Su Fei’s eyes were red and teary, as if she had been horribly scolded by Lin Yin. In order to help Lin Yin cover-up, she just said that she had been scolded. After that, she pulled Chu Yun’s sleeve with tears in her eyes. Chu Yun hugged her and comforted her before she left for school.
“Hurry up and get down,” Chu Yun said impatiently when she saw Lin Yin.
“You’re either asking me to get over here or get lost. I didn’t come back to this house to be scolded.” Lin Yin looked at her steadily without any panic in her eyes.
No wonder Su Fei left the house early. It seemed like she had removed herself completely after complaining. What a good plan.
In her previous life, Chu Yun had made things difficult for Lin Yin like this many times, and there was a high chance that Su Fei was not present. If she was present, she also tried her best to protect Lin Yin, causing Lin Yin to believe that Su Fei was sincerely protecting her until the end.
“Do you need me to tell you what you’ve done?” Chu Yun’s anger only increased.
Lin Yin walked over slowly and sat at the dining table. She started eating breakfast.
“Father has already gone to deal with it. I don’t think there’s anything I can tell you.”
Su Zhen asked, “What’s with the fight with the hooligans after school?”
“I was surrounded and bullied,” Lin Yin said calmly.
“If you don’t provoke them, why would they bully you?” Chu Yun was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling. She did not expect that this Lin Yin would lie without even blinking.
“Don’t bring the bad habits of the slums home. How many times have I told you? This is the Su Family, not your slum!”
It was no wonder. How could a child who grew up in the slums be as gentle and considerate as Su Fei?
She was already unhappy the first time she saw Lin Yin. The expression on Lin Yin’s face was too stubborn and not as gentle and sensible as Su Fei’s.
She had pampered Su Fei for many years. She did not believe it at all when Su Zhen suddenly said that they had brought back the wrong child back then.
When the child really came to her, she only felt disdain.
“If you don’t believe me, don’t ask about my matters in the future.” Lin Yin looked up, her eyes cold.
“I asked you to go to school to study, not to fight. You’re like a hooligan every day. We can’t control you anymore!”
Chu Yun pretended to hit Lin Yin. Seeing that she was standing still, she was furious and was about to throw the bowl at her.
It was not like she had never seen such a scene before. Would she still stand there and let her hit and scold her?
Lin Yin dodged slightly and the bowl fell heavily to the ground, shattering.
“How dare you dodge!” With Su Zhen backing her up, Chu Yun would definitely hit her. Seeing that the bowl missed, Chu Yun’s face deformed.
“I didn’t come back to see you guys like this.” Lin Yin picked up the bowl beside her and threw it on the ground. “If you don’t treat me as a daughter, I won’t treat you as a mother.”
There was no emotion in Lin Yin’s eyes. They had been like this for more than a day or two. She had endured it for eight years, but now, she did not feel disappointed at all. She only felt that it was ridiculous. They had clearly ignored her, but now, they only wanted to hit and scold her.
In their hearts, it was already a great honor for her to come to this house and eat and stay with them. She should be as lowly as dust and be at the mercy of others, just like in her previous life.
She was the one who had lost the most and suffered the most, but when she returned to this house, their hearts ached that Su Fei had been robbed of her big room and Su Fei had been to share her parents’ love.
But had they ever given her love?
That big room should not have belonged to Su Fei in the first place. She had enjoyed a life of luxury for more than ten years, but does it mean it’s hers?
They would never be able to see how good she was or feel how much she had suffered. They only had Su Fei in their hearts.
As long as she cried a few times and shed a few tears, they would scold her as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
In her previous life, she had suffered a lot, but now, her heart no longer hurt. Their words and actions only made her feel ridiculous and laughable.
