Morning, the Heir - Chapter 35
Chapter 35: Are You Here to Hook Up?
Translator: 安贝-Peggyan
No matter how reluctant, Lin Xiaomi went back on Wednesday.
After casually buying an ornament at a mall, she took a taxi and went for the Lin family.
The Lin family was located in the Mid-levels Villa District where it was inconvenient for her to call a taxi, but she couldn’t drive there.
The Lin family enjoyed great influence in the city, so her car disgraced them very much. Having been scolded once by them, she was forbidden to drive it back.
When she reached the house, many limos had already parked in the yard.
Butler Lee was standing on the gate to welcome guests.
She greeted him with courtesy. “Uncle Lee.”
Butler Lee said after glancing at her, “Here you are. You go inside.”
Butler Lee was brought by Lady Lee to take care of Lin Xin’er. Since the entire family disliked her, Butler Lee, of course, gave her a cold shoulder, which she didn’t care about.
As soon as she got inside, she heard laughter.
Lin Xin’er sat on a sofa with a sweet and pure smile. Jiang Hui sat beside her and helped her comb her hair from time to time.
What a scene of a happy family!
With her lips curled, Lin Xiaomi greeted them all one by one and handed the present to Lin Xin’er in the end. “Happy birthday.”
Lin Xin’er smiled at her but didn’t take it over. “Thank you.”
Lin Xiaomi placed her present with the others.
Jiang Hui scolded Lin Xiaomi with a darkened face, “What are you wearing? Didn’t I tell you there was a party today?”
Lin Xiaomi looked at her clothes up and down. “I just got off from work and didn’t have time to change my clothes. Sorry!”
Lin Xin’er held Jing Hui by the hands and slightly shook Jiang Hui to play coquetry. “Auntie, don’t say that to Xiaomi. She comes back after a long time. Do you want to scare her away? I’ll take her upstairs to change her clothes. I have new dresses.”
Jiang Hui instantly turned gentle to Lin Xin’er and stroke her face. “How nice you are, Xin’er.”
Lin Xiaomi was sick of seeing such a scene because she had become numb.
Lady Lee stared at Lin Xiaomi with her blared eyes, which gave the latter gooseflesh. “Did you do the healthy check-up this year?”
“I did it before work.”
“How about the result?”
What else could the result be?
“It’s good.”
Lady lee said nodding her head, “You should be cautious about your behaviors since you live alone outside and don’t make friends with messy people. You can’t smoke or drink. We won’t allow dirty people to enter inside. You ought to have a healthy check-up each year. Do you hear me?”
Although she had heard it many times, she still felt she was humiliated. Did they really think that she didn’t have self-love?
From that year Jiang Hui was married into here, Lin Xiaomi was required to do a healthy check-up each year as if there was something dirty on her body.
If possible, she didn’t want to come here.
“I know.”
However, she had to make a compromise, for she had to ask the Lin family to pay for her grandmother’s fee. Even if she worked day and night, she couldn’t afford the expensive cost of the sanatorium.
Seeing her obediently nod, Lady Lee stopped staring at her and paid attention to others.
“Xiaomi, let’s go upstairs and get your dressed,” said Lin Xin’er softly while looking at Lin Xiaomi ironically.
The party got started. Lin Xin’er had a bad heart, so she couldn’t get out. But, the Lin family loved her so much that they would throw her a big birthday party for her every year, stating that Lin Xin’er was the most important daughter in this family.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xin’er was loved so much that even Lin Qingtian, her brother, couldn’t match her.
Lin Xiaomi followed Lin Xin’er to go upstairs. The moment she got inside Lin Xin’er’s room, Lin Xin’er’s face turned bad.
Lin Xin’er said with her face full of sarcasm while sitting on a sofa, “Lin Xiaomi, didn’t you say you wouldn’t come back? But, why did you come back today? Alas, do you want to hook up with a rich guy? What a shame. None downstairs will take fancy to you, a daughter of a dancer.”
This was the true color of Lin Xin’er who always pretended to be delicate and weak in front of people. Lin Xiaomi was the only one who saw this.
In order to gain a foothold in the Lin family, Jiang Hui indeed treated Lin Xin’er as her own daughter over these years. However, Lin Xin’er still considered her a dancer.
“Wasn’t I asked to come back because you missed me so much?” Lin Xiaomi refuted back. “I have no interest in rich guys, but I really want them to look at your expression when you said those to me.”
Lin Xin’er wasn’t pissed off. “Lin Xiaomi, what are you proud of? You always have your self-esteem. If you’re really that powerful, why not use your money to pay for your dying grandma’s fee instead of using ours?”
“Don’t forget why my grandma name you Lin Xiaomi. My family raised you, so you should be grateful.”
Lin Xin’er was sweet and had a congenital heart problem, so her face was much paler than ordinary people, making her look much softer. However, her lips were purple, together with such a ghastly expression, making her face extremely twisted.
“Lin Xin’er, you’d better keep your mouth clean for the sake of your body.” Lin Xiaomi didn’t want to argue with Lin Xin’er, but she couldn’t stand that Lin Xin’er spoke ill of her grandmother.
With a sneer, Lin Xin’er walked over to the closet, found a purple dress, and then mercifully threw it at Lin Xiaomi’s head. “You throw it away after you wear it. I won’t wear it anymore.”
Lin Xiaomi indifferently took the dress out of her head and threw it back. “No. I’m afraid I can’t wear it.”
Since Lin Xin’er had congenital heart disease, she had a weaker body that wasn’t developed well. Her breasts were small, so her dresses were tailor-made. In that case, Lin Xiaomi couldn’t wear Lin Xin’er’s clothes.
Lin Xin’er felt furious and jealously looked at Lin Xiaomi’s plump breasts. Even the loose clothes couldn’t cover Lin Xiaomi’s well-developed body.
This was what Lin Xin’er could never have just like she couldn’t go out to do what she wanted as conveniently as Lin Xiaomi.
“You slut!” said Lin Xiaomi with her teeth gnashed. “Get out if you don’t wear it so as not to disgrace us.”
What she said was exactly what Lin Xiaomi wanted. Lin Xiaomi indeed wanted to leave there, so she turned around and left from the side gate.
Lin Xin’er was the protagonist, so none would pay attention to whether Lin Xin’er was there or not.
To Lin Xiaomi’s surprise, it rained outside.
She couldn’t help sighing that God loved fooling her.
She couldn’t call a taxi there, so she had to go down the hill to go home.
However, when she was halfway down the hill, a black Bentley drove by, splashing water all over her.
Seeing a girl running in defiance of the rain, the man on the back seat looked at her for an instant and then immediately looked away.
