The matching of similar clothes and deliberately imitative behavior made things seem interesting!
She really looked like her! Yang Meng suppressed the panic in her heart, trying her best to appear calm.
Being in close proximity to this person, she felt the same powerlessness as that time.
Yang Meng felt as if she had returned to that state of timidity, carefully trying to please others, and feeling ashamed when facing that person.
Yang Meng desperately wanted to show that after so many years, she could interact with her as an equal, but the deep-seated inferiority hidden in her heart was completely drowning her when facing her.
"Miss Yang, please sit down!"
Lin Yan withdrew her sarcastic tone and gently invited Yang Meng to sit down.
Yang Meng stared blankly at Lin Yan, then slowly sat down, holding onto the chair.
"Ming Hao said that Miss Yang insisted on meeting me. Why are you silent now that we've met?"
Lin Yan poured Yang Meng a cup of tea and then refilled her own.
"I... I know you're not Lin Yan." Yang Meng finally spoke.
"Oh? Miss Yang is joking. If I'm not Lin Yan, then who am I?"
Lin Yan was certain that this female lead had discovered the difference between her and the original host. However, it didn't matter. After all, she was very different from the character in the plot.
With such a significant change, the female lead who was familiar with the plot was bound to notice.
"Lin Yan didn't have the ability to accumulate such a large fortune in such a short period!" Yang Meng stared intently at Lin Yan.
"You are not her, and you are not even from this world!" This was the only explanation for why everything had unfolded this way.
She couldn't accept that she would be defeated by someone whose tragic ending was in the original novel. Therefore, this Lin Yan must not be the one from the original novel; perhaps... perhaps she was the one she knew.
"What nonsense is Miss Yang talking! Not from this world? Is this a theme from a TV show or movie you've been acting in recently?"
Lin Yan's gaze was calm, showing no signs of embarrassment at being exposed.
"Lin Yan, you know what I mean!"
"Oh, so this is why Miss Yang is targeting me and my family?"
"I'm not targeting you!"
How dare she! If she had known she was Lin Yan, why would she have dared to act!
"Not me? Then who is Miss Yang targeting?"
Lin Yan said with interest.
"Host, I am currently scanning Yang Meng's soul fluctuations. The answer should be obtained soon."
The system's voice sounded in Lin Yan's mind.
"Miss Yang is truly strange, targeting others for no reason. Is it fun to ruin someone's family and break up their home?"
"I'm not as wicked as you think. I just want Lin Yan to understand how unacceptable it is to be someone's substitute!"
"Then should I also thank you for your mercy?"
"I..."
"You're afraid of me? Why?"
"I'm not!"
"You know me? Or rather, do you know the original me?"
"You admit it! You admit you're not her!"
Yang Meng was very excited. So it really was her. Then she hadn't lost unfairly, after all, it was Lin Yan!
The sole daughter of the richest family, Lin Yan, who had won countless awards since childhood!
"So what? I admit I'm not her, but how can you be sure I'm the person you know?
Are you very familiar with that person? Or are you very afraid of her? So why? Just because she has the same name as you, so you target her?"
Lin Yan pressed forward, and Yang Meng looked at Lin Yan with fear.
Had she discovered it? She really couldn't afford to offend this person, whether from that world or this one! If she were given another chance, she would definitely stay far away from any woman named Lin Yan!
"You and I come from the same place, you know me! But I don't remember having any interactions with you. Why are you so afraid of me, even hate me?
To the point where you would lash out at anyone with the same name as me! But why? Did I do something?"
Lin Yan looked at the transmigration female lead with a gentle gaze, wanting to get more information from her.
"How could a pampered young lady like the eldest daughter of the Lin Corporation understand the struggles of ordinary people like us! Heaven is truly unfair!
I thought I was finally lucky once, becoming the protagonist, but I never expected you to come too!
But why? Someone like me, with an unfortunate life, transmigrated into a book and achieved success. Why did you, who were born at the pinnacle of life, also transmigrate!"
Yang Meng said excitedly. She was unwilling! Knowing that the person before her was the one she had always feared and envied, she was even more unwilling.
Why should some people get what she had worked hard for without doing anything?
Even though she got lucky and transmigrated into the book, and only enjoyed this feeling of being a favored child for a short time, Lin Yan also arrived!
And once again, she was cast into the dust. The name Lin Yan was a curse!
"Why? Perhaps it's because I'm more outstanding!"
Yang Meng was stunned by Lin Yan's immodest (shameless) words. She couldn't understand how she could say something like that!
"Yang Meng, I don't know what you were called before, so I'll call you Yang Meng. Do you know where you lost when you went up against me?"
"Lost where!"
"Everything I have comes from myself, while you rely on others! You don't seem to agree?"
Yang Meng suppressed the doubt on her face. The situation was beyond her control, so she could only listen.
"You think I rely on my family background, but even if I were separated from my family background, I could still reach the peak.
Just like this time, when I arrived, she was at her most difficult moment, yet I still reached this position.
But you are different. Yang Meng, if you were me, in this situation, what would you do? Could you achieve the success I have now?"
Lin Yan smiled at Yang Meng, but Yang Meng felt that the smile was full of mockery towards her.
She also wondered, if she had arrived in a situation like Lin Yan's, could she have managed to make a comeback and be reborn like Lin Yan?
After careful consideration, Yang Meng shook her head. She couldn't!
"Only your own abilities will never betray you! Just like your acting skills, your works, and every character you've meticulously portrayed.
Look back at your works. In your early days, you truly loved this profession and diligently managed your career.
This is why you were able to establish a foothold in the entertainment industry. It's also why you attracted so many admirers.
Yang Meng, if you hadn't focused on finding patrons and suppressing others, and instead worked hard to improve your abilities, no one could have replaced your position in the entertainment industry.
Everyone possesses their own charm. You keep saying you don't want to be someone's substitute, that you don't want to be told you resemble others, but why have you ended up living like me?"
