Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Lin Qingyao was startled by the sudden excitement of the two people, and subconsciously shrank back, her back gently pressing against the back of the seat.

Seeing this, Lin Shi lost interest in continuing to drive.

I parked the vehicle on the side of the road again. I carefully observed the area around the vehicle to make sure that no more "NPCs" would spawn.

After confirming it was safe, Lin Shi and Ye Cheng simultaneously unbuckled their seatbelts and squeezed into the gap between the driver's and passenger seats to look towards the back.

Both of them were extremely focused, but the car was too cramped, so their heads ended up touching.

However, no one seemed to mind, and they remained motionless, continuing to look up at Lin Qingyao.

Ye Cheng cleared her throat, deliberately slowing her speech and making her tone exceptionally formal and solemn:

"Ms. Lin, is there anything we can help you with?"

Lin Qingyao looked at the two heads huddled together in front of her and chuckled. Then she said seriously:

"What I'm about to tell you, please don't find it melodramatic."

Lin Shi raised his hand and patted his chest, his tone resolute:

"We are professionals, we don't think so. Please tell us."

As Lin Qingyao listened, she fell into deep thought, as if she were briefly reviewing her life trajectory over the past twenty years.

After a moment, she looked up at the two of them again and slowly spoke:

"I'm not actually their biological child."

There was no sadness in his tone about being "not his biological child," only a hint of guilt, and his voice was a little low.

Ye Cheng nodded, then pulled out a notebook and a ballpoint pen from somewhere to record information, showing a serious expression as she took notes.

After hearing Lin Qingyao's words, he asked:

"Who is this, dear?"

Lin Qingyao paused, looking at Ye Cheng's extremely "professional" demeanor and her nonsensical question. But she still gently explained:

"Dear, you're not human. Blood relatives can't be separated."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng looked enlightened, nodded repeatedly, wrote something in her notebook, and then continued to ask:

"Then who is the biological child?"

"Stop messing around!"

Seeing Ye Cheng's playful antics, Lin Shi used his club skill again to attack Ye Cheng's head.

The effect was remarkable! Ye Cheng fell into a coma.

Lin Shi didn't look at Ye Cheng, who was pretending to faint, and said to Lin Qingyao:

"It's okay, ignore her, she's just playing around with you."

Watching the interaction between the two, Lin Qingyao's low mood caused by "guilt" vanished instantly, and she felt much better.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his mouth:

"My life is like something out of a novel..."

"My biological mother has a rare genetic disease in her family. It is treatable, but the price is too high, which we simply cannot afford. It can only prolong her life, but it has also kept our family in poverty."

"On the very day she gave birth to me, she happened to see the Lin family next door. They were dressed smartly, exuding wealth. A crazy idea suddenly popped into her mind: switch children."

"........."

"Until recently, her body could no longer withstand the torment of her illness. She sent Wang Wanrou back to the Lin family and changed her name to Lin Wanrou... She's somewhat hostile towards me."

As Lin Shi listened to Lin Qingyao's description, he took careful notes while inwardly criticizing her:

Is this kid some kind of prophet? How could he guess so accurately?

Your feeling is correct; you really are a fictional character, or rather, a hodgepodge of fictional worlds.

And based on what you've said, isn't this a classic "real and fake heiress" story?

Is the next step going to be a scenario where "the wicked real heiress ostracizes the fake heiress at every turn, only to have her conspiracy exposed by the whole family and be kicked out of the house again"?

Lin Shi kept thinking to himself, but didn't show any reaction on his face.

Just kidding! He really did receive professional training. Shen Zhixiao had him take quite a few classes back then, and although he didn't continue his studies for various reasons, he still grasped the basics.

On the other side, Ye Cheng had already secretly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and listened while frowning slightly, her lips pouting, looking conflicted.

On the one hand, she felt that Lin Wanrou had been wandering for 20 years and had a hard life. It was normal for her to be hostile towards Lin Qingyao.

On the other hand, Lin Qingyao hadn't done anything wrong; all the decisions were unrelated to her. Suddenly realizing she was an outsider, and even being viewed with hostility, would definitely make her feel uneasy.

Oh no! What if Lin Qingyao wants to ask them to teach Lin Wanrou a lesson? Which side are they on?

Both of them harbored their own secrets, their eyes darting around as they pondered various possibilities.

Lin Qingyao seemed oblivious to their distraction and continued speaking:

"I would like to entrust this matter to you."

"Kick me out of the Lin family."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Cheng only caught the words "kick them out," but couldn't quite grasp the subject.

Instantly, it resembled a kitten, its fur standing on end.

"Miss Lin, teaching Lin Wanrou a lesson is enough. How could you kick her out of the house! We won't do that!"

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Lin Shi with her round almond-shaped eyes, wanting to see his reaction.

Although she genuinely felt that Lin Shi wouldn't aid and abet evil, he was, after all, the boss.

"Share your thoughts."

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Shi looked at Lin Qingyao, wanting to know why she wanted to kick him out of the Lin family.

The wealth of the Lin family is evident from their attire. They could easily support three more Lin Qingyaos, let alone one more.

But when Ye Cheng saw Lin Shi's hesitant look, her face turned pale instantly and her eyes reddened slightly.

It felt as if all my trust had been completely betrayed.

Looking at Ye Cheng's sad face, Lin Shi instantly understood that the child must have misunderstood something again, and directly reached out and pinched her soft little face:

"Listen carefully to what others are saying!!!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Ye Cheng immediately winced in pain and instinctively moved closer to Lin Shi, trying to relieve the pain in this way.

Lin Shi released his grip after a short while, looked at Lin Qingyao again with a fawning smile, but inwardly felt somewhat embarrassed.

This is so unprofessional! How are we supposed to do business like this?

Lin Qingyao wasn't interrupted by this little incident and continued:

"I don't have any particular thoughts. I've already enjoyed twenty years of good fortune for her. Why should I continue to enjoy it for her in the Lin family?"

The two of them froze for a moment, their gazes turning to Lin Qingyao. They simultaneously gave each other a thumbs-up.

"That makes sense!"

Lin Shi asked another question.

"Then why not just leave home? The Lin family can't possibly restrict your personal freedom."

If you want to leave, just leave. Why entrust them with this? This logic doesn't quite make sense.

Lin Qingyao fell silent and did not speak.

Lin Shi and Ye Cheng exchanged a glance.

No, there really are restrictions!
