Ning City, Lin Family Villa, second floor.
Lin Xuecheng wore a plain white princess dress and took out a small mirror she carried with her to look at her delicate face.
She squeezed her handkerchief, gritting her teeth as she looked at Qingwu, whom she had hated since childhood.
"Sister, so the one who's been occupying the nest was you all along..."
Last month, after a full family checkup, the Lin Family discovered that the eldest daughter, Qingwu, didn't match the blood type of either Lin Family parent!
Lin Xuecheng held the paternity test report of herself and Mrs. Lin, Qian Yueqiang, her eyes filled with pride.
She had grown up with Qingwu, but why was she only the daughter of a nanny while Qingwu was the esteemed eldest daughter of the Lin Family?
Now the rightful order was restored; it was all hers!
Behind Lin Xuecheng, the Lin Family couple was watching Qingwu.
When Qian Yueqiang saw Qingwu looking at her, she reached out to wipe away nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Little Wu, none of us expected Chengcheng to be our biological daughter. We can't bear to part with you, but we have to send you back. It's too cruel to separate you from your biological parents."
Lin Jingsheng felt that raising two daughters didn't matter.
But Qian Yueqiang said that Lin Xuecheng had grown up bullied by Qingwu, and it wouldn't be fair to Lin Xuecheng if they continued living together.
As for Qingwu, just as Lin Jingsheng spread the news, he received a call from Qingshan County searching for a family.
The accent of the caller was so strong!
Lin Jingsheng could hardly understand what the other person was saying.
Qingshan County was a poverty-stricken area that even assistance couldn't uplift, where most people lived by farming!
"Little Wu, don't worry. Even if your parents are farmers, nothing happened. I heard a rooster crowing in the background when I was on the phone, so at least if you're hungry, you can still have roasted chicken to eat..."
Lin Xuecheng couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
What a poor place!
They even raised chickens!
"Dad, you don't know how chickens are more precious than people in those poor places. How could they eat them so freely?"
Her face was full of superiority.
Qingwu had long seen through them.
The so-called family checkup was just because Qingwu had come of age, and the marriage agreement with the Lu Family needed to be pushed forward.
The Lu Family wanted to settle the marriage sooner, and someone was anxious, wanting Qingwu to leave the Lin Family quickly to pave the way for the biological daughter raised under the nanny's name.
Qingwu looked at them with contempt, speaking without any attachment.
"I was going to leave anyway, without your mockery. Before I go, give me back my computer."
Her expression was indifferent, her eyes shimmering, carrying a grace and elegance that Lin Xuecheng couldn't imitate.
Damn it! Always pretending!
"Sister, your computer is over five years old. It's not like I even want it... Could it be that you accidentally lost it?"
The maid, chef, and driver behind them also joined in the ridicule.
"Indeed, only Miss Qingwu could be so petty, thinking a five-year-old computer is good."
"Keep quiet. Miss Qingwu is going back to the countryside, where people probably don't even know what a computer is..."
Lin Xuecheng's face was full of pride.
Qingwu looked at her calmly, taking out her phone and gently tapping it, instantly pulling up a clear surveillance video.
It was Lin Xuecheng sneaking into Qingwu's room last night when everyone wasn't paying attention and taking her computer.
In the footage, Lin Xuecheng held the computer with a twisted expression.
"Why does the old woman treat you so well! When I'm the real daughter of the Lin Family!"
Lin Xuecheng: "..."
Was Qingwu crazy? She even installed surveillance in her room!
And caught her cursing the old lady of the Lin Family.
Qian Yueqiang quickly pulled Lin Xuecheng behind her as if Qingwu were about to eat her.
"Little Wu, you're so unruly. This is still your home. How could you install surveillance at home, knowing we have many business secrets? What if something leaked out?"
With Qian Yueqiang's words, Lin Jingsheng's expression turned serious.
"Little Wu, give your phone to Dad so I can see if you've installed surveillance elsewhere."
Qingwu: "..."
She really had no interest in the Lin Family's business.
In front of Lin Jingsheng, Qingwu formatted her phone, erasing all files and restoring it to factory settings.
Lin Jingsheng looked a bit embarrassed and laughed, "It's not that Dad doubts you, but better safe than sorry..."
Qingwu replied coldly, "Mind your words. You're not my dad anymore. Return my computer; I'm leaving now."
Lin Jingsheng awkwardly smiled and turned to Lin Xuecheng to retrieve Qingwu's computer.
Lin Xuecheng muttered, "Sister can't even part with such an old thing. Qingshan County might not even have the internet."
That broken computer couldn't even boot up anymore, yet Qingwu, who was about to live in hardship, treated it as a treasure.
Qingwu glanced at her calmly.
This computer was a gift from the Lin Family's grandmother, which she later modified herself. Although it was indeed precious, it was not irreplaceable.
She could reassemble a computer, and these so-called family members, she could also do without!
But the item held a different significance for her.
Throughout the Lin Family, from top to bottom, everyone favored Lin Xuecheng. Only her grandmother loved her since she was a child, providing her with warmth she valued throughout her life.
However, not long ago, the old lady of the Lin Family passed away, and the family meant even less to her.
Qingwu turned and walked toward the door, showing no signs of reluctance.
At this moment, Qian Yueqiang, who was about to deliver some sentimental jargon, was quite embarrassed.
"What's with this attitude? With an elder speaking kindly to you, you still put on a face. Clearly, you grew up with Chengcheng, yet your personalities and character are worlds apart!"
From Lin Jingsheng, Qian Yueqiang also learned that Qingwu's biological parents were not doing well.
It was said that they were very poor, living in one of the nation's most backward poverty-stricken areas without even a proper road in the village.
The parents were farmers, with older brothers and sisters, and the grandparents were in poor health.
In such impoverished and backward families, if Qingwu went there, she surely wouldn't have a good life.
She might have to support the family at a young age, work hard, and save money for her brothers to pay for their brides!
Through the years, Lin Xuecheng's inferiority squeezed under Qingwu's foot had turned into confidence, as she got up to follow Qingwu, saying, "Sister, I'll see you off."
Lin Jingsheng disapprovingly glanced at Qian Yueqiang.
"Say less. Previously, when you were sick and our mom was ill, Little Wu took care of both of you."
Qian Yueqiang glared at him.
"Taking care? She was fed and clothed well, not remembering her place. I was only worried she coveted Chengcheng's marriage. The marriage to the Lu Family belongs to our biological daughter!"
Lu Mingchuan and the Lin Family had a marriage agreement, naturally reserved for the Lin's real daughter, not the imposter, Qingwu!
Moreover, Lin Xuecheng had been close to Lu Mingchuan since childhood, and their relationship was indeed good.
Compared to Qingwu, Lin Xuecheng, the true daughter, was genuinely considerate and sensible. The restoration of her status as the real daughter improved Qian Yueqiang's mood significantly...
Thinking of her marriage, Lin Xuecheng also fawningly leaned in, pinching her handkerchief while smiling with glee.
Since she was a child, Lin Xuecheng loved to compete, especially vying for Qingwu's possessions.
From jewelry, food, and clothes to the Lin Family couple's affection.
Out of indifference, Qingwu never paid much attention to it, merely thinking Lin Xuecheng had always occupied the nest, and the Lin Family failed to see through it.
As for Lu Mingchuan, if Lin Xuecheng hadn't mentioned him, Qingwu would have almost forgotten he existed.
"Lin Xuecheng, you really are hungry for anything you can devour."
