Chapter 2: Lin Family’s Adopted Daughter

Su Changxin had never liked Lin Chu and was never able to treat her as a daughter.

Lin Chu was adopted to the Lin Family. A long time ago, Lin Zhenghe met with an accident at a construction site and was admitted into the hospital in critical condition. He slipped into unconsciousness and the doctor declared that his situation was dire. There was a chance that he might turn into a vegetable. Old Lady Lin and Su Changxin had no idea what to do.

Old Lady Lin was a very superstitious person. She immediately went to her trusted fortune teller and he gave her eight characters 1 . The fortune teller instructed her to find a child born with these eight characters as the child would be able to save Lin Zhenghe and bring him prosperity.

According to the eight characters, the child would now be seven years old. None of the Lin family’s relatives had a child born according to those characters. Old Lady Lin then went to an orphanage to look through their information and found someone that was a perfect fit, which was Lin Chu.

The Lin family then adopted Lin Chu. It could be luck or it could be that the fortune teller was accurate but Lin Zhenghe woke up on the fifth day Lin Chu joined the family. Following that, his condition subsequently improved.

For Su Changxin, however, Lin Chu was not her real daughter. She was already seven when she came to the Lin family. She was already a grown-up child, which meant that it would be difficult for her to accept a strange family. No matter how good Su Changxin was to her, Lin Chu will always know that she is not her real mother. Besides, this child’s presence meant she would be robbing Lin Yuwen of her inheritance. Su Changxin felt that it was unfair to her daughter. What right does a wild child have with the Lin family’s wealth?

It was just a coincidence that Lin Zhenghe woke up. She had never believed that Lin Chu could bring any fortune to Lin Zhenghe. If a wild child was able to give fortune, won’t that mean the real daughter of the Lin family was useless?

That was why Su Changxin had never treated Lin Chu well. She treated Lin Chu as a poor child who needed sponsorship and had always given her a hard time. No matter what the situation, no matter what the reason, Lin Chu was always in the wrong. She was also constantly reminding Lin Yuwen to boycott her and not be so nice to her.

As for Lin Zhenghe, he naturally does not have a relationship with Lin Chu. He had never bothered himself with her. Since Lin Chu was already adopted and the fortune teller’s prediction came true, he might as well believed that she brought fortune and treated her like an object placed in the house for a blessing of wealth.

“Aunt Su, don’t worry. I won’t continue loving a man who is always wavering with his feelings and even betrayed me for money,” Lin Chu said honestly. She did not attempt to hide her sarcasm.

Smack!

Su Changxin slapped Lin Chu hard on the face. “Lin Chu, watch your mouth. What do you mean by wavering feelings and betraying you for money? Ziming had always been together with Yuwen. He has never been with anybody else; you are the one lusting after your brother-in-law.”

Su Changxin narrowed her eyes and grimly pointed at her nose with menace. “Remember, this is a one-sided affair for you. Ziming has never even looked at you. Don’t you let me catch any wild rumors brewing out there.”

Su Changxin put her hands down, looked at Lin Chu’s slightly reddened face and said, “You can calm yourself down here for a while. Don’t let anyone see you like this.”
