"I didn't!" Lin Yin retorted, but her gaze flickered away for a moment. Soon, however, she regained her composure.
This was rightfully hers, she was the Fu family's daughter! The impostor Fu Yan, or rather Lin Yan, should be the one feeling guilty. She wasn't their parents' child at all, so why should she enjoy all this!
"I don't care if you did or not, you don't need to get so worked up," Lin Yan said, gently rubbing her throbbing forehead.
"You..." You're always like this, acting as if nothing matters.
Lin Yin didn't voice her thoughts. After all, she wasn't the same as in her past life anymore. She had been brought back, but she wasn't the favored Fu family daughter.
In any case, her objective had been achieved. She didn't need to argue with Fu Yan here. Soon, Fu Yan would realize she was nothing but a fake.
Lin Yin turned her face towards the window, no longer looking at Lin Yan.
"Host, she doesn't seem as calm as she was in the original novel."
"After all, in the original novel, she was facing a real twelve-year-old girl! An adult facing a minor would naturally have the upper hand."
Lin Yan couldn't quite understand why the female lead harbored all her resentment towards the original host. The original host had never looked down on her, nor had she ever tried to compete for inheritance rights.
Furthermore, the switch-up hadn't been the original host's fault. After returning to the Fu family, the original host had even extended kindness to her.
Yet, strangely, she didn't hate those who looked down on her, nor those who mocked and bullied her, nor even the Fu couple who were indifferent to her. Instead, she hated the original host, who had also been switched at birth.
Perhaps Lin Yin felt that the original host was the sole beneficiary of this situation. Without the original host, she would have been the Fu family's precious daughter, showered with all the love and attention.
And the original host had stolen everything from her, causing her to grow up in a remote town, never experiencing such a life of luxury.
Soon, the car stopped outside the ballet academy where Lin Yan was supposed to attend class.
"Student, I have to go to class now. Uncle Wang will take you to see my mother. I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, but current technology can verify it.
So, as I said, the truth will always come out. If you're so certain, why are you so worried?"
Before getting out of the car, Lin Yan said to Lin Yin, then turned to the driver and said, "Uncle Wang, thank you!"
"Miss, please don't mention it. I'll pick you up after your class."
After Lin Yan alighted, the driver closed the car door and said, "Then, Miss, I'll be going now."
"I'll call Mom and tell her about this. You can go straight to see her."
"Alright, thank you, Miss!"
With that, Lin Yan headed towards her classroom. There were still fifteen minutes before class started. After changing her clothes, she would have time to call Mrs. Fu and inform her that her biological daughter had come to find her.
"Little student, it's not bad to have fantasies at your age, but you can't just run to someone's house based on a fantasy and claim to be their child!" the driver said earnestly.
"I'm telling the truth! Fu Yan and I were switched at birth twelve years ago!"
"Little student, have you been reading too many novels? Things like this rarely happen in real life!"
"Then take a good look at my face. I look very much like Mom, that can't be fake, can it!" Lin Yin said angrily.
"There are too many people in the world who look alike, that doesn't mean you're related!" Uncle Wang looked closely at Lin Yin's face.
Perhaps it was because he heard her mention the resemblance, but the more Uncle Wang looked, the more he felt this girl truly resembled Madam.
"Little student, have you told your parents that you're out? If you haven't, your parents must be very worried!"
"Can you focus on driving? If there's a car accident while you're chatting, who will be responsible?" Lin Yin found this Uncle Wang extremely annoying. Once she returned to the Fu family, she would have her parents fire him!
Uncle Wang choked, and stopped talking to her. This little student had quite a temper.
After changing, Lin Yan took out her phone and called Mrs. Fu.
After explaining the situation, she received a reply:
"I understand. Focus on your studies!"
Mrs. Fu's reaction was not unexpected. After all, the original host was her pride and joy, and no one could easily shake her position.
However, if the female lead wanted to live this kind of life, then let her enjoy it.
When Lin Yan finished class and returned home, Mrs. Fu was already waiting in the living room.
She was impeccably dressed, clearly having just returned from an outing and not yet having removed her makeup or skincare.
"Mom, I'm back," Lin Yan said after changing her shoes and walking into the living room.
"How was your class today?" Mrs. Fu placed her teacup on the coffee table.
"It was quite relaxed. However, the teacher mentioned a competition for the youth division, and she hopes I'll participate." Lin Yan stood by the sofa.
"Then go ahead and participate. Teacher Jessica always values you and has made a comprehensive future plan for you. If it's a competition she suggested, then it must be very necessary."
"Okay, I'll reply to the teacher tonight," Lin Yan replied.
"By the way, Mom, that girl today..."
"You don't need to worry about this matter," Mrs. Fu interrupted Lin Yan directly. "Your father and I will handle it."
"Yes, but Mom, have you contacted that student's parents? With the compulsory nine years of education, she should be in school. She came out all alone, wouldn't her parents be worried?"
Although Lin Yan wanted to return the identity of the Fu family's daughter to Lin Yin, she didn't mind digging a hole for her.
"You have a point. I'll have someone investigate her family situation. Although she's not old, she must still pay a price. If I find out her parents incited her..." Mrs. Fu sounded angry.
This matter had to be stopped. Otherwise, anyone could come and say all sorts of things, and what face would the Fu family have left!
Especially if other families found out, those gossipy women she disliked wouldn't know what stories they'd spread about her!
"Mom, I'm going upstairs to take a shower now."
"Come down for dinner later. We have your favorite steak today." Mrs. Fu's expression softened when she faced Lin Yan.
"Yes, thank you, Mom!" Lin Yan said and then went upstairs.
Lin Yin, in the original novel, you demonized the Lin couple, saying they abused you, and you never contacted them again.
But this time, they would all have to see what kind of person you truly are.
"System, the Lin couple didn't seem to appear in the plot later on. What was their ending? Why didn't they come looking for the original host or Fu Yan?"
"One moment! Found it!"
"Host, the Lin couple... they were in a car accident and died on their way to find Fu Yin."
