Chapter 181 I am the Fake Heiress (13)

While Fu Yin was raising money, Lin Yan had already become the new favorite in the county's middle school.

Initially, many teachers were not pleased when Lin Yan transferred and skipped grades. After all, in their opinion, Lin Yan was an overly ambitious student.

Having achieved some success in a rural middle school, she looked down on other students, thinking she was a genius.

She was merely a big fish in a small pond; once in the vast ocean, she would realize her actions were those of a frog at the bottom of a well.

However, after Lin Yan started attending classes, the teachers found her to be a down-to-earth child. She attended classes diligently and completed assignments for all subjects meticulously. Furthermore, she was genuinely intelligent; no subject seemed to be a challenge for her.

Later, in several exams, even in the city's joint examination, she secured first place with a score close to full marks. Such a promising candidate for the top scorer in the entrance examination naturally made the teachers very happy.

Therefore, the teachers turned a blind eye to some of Lin Yan's behaviors. Especially the books Lin Yan read at school. The teachers had initially worried that reading would affect her studies.

Later, they discovered that the books Lin Yan read were far beyond their comprehension, including medical texts and computer books. Many were even original English editions.

Lin Yan's grades were not affected at all, so they stopped bothering her about reading those books.

Lin Yan had been contemplating what field to pursue. The best path, she thought, would be to practice medicine and make pharmaceuticals. After all, it was a path she had already tread, making everything convenient.

However, she was somewhat unwilling to repeat her previous journey; it would be too uninteresting. Lin Yan idly flipped through the books in front of her.

"System, what is the female protagonist doing now?"

"Mm, the female protagonist is currently making investments and has already made some money. However, because she wants to invest in a larger project, she is currently raising funds."

"I remember, the female protagonist studied economics in her previous life. In that case, it seems the female protagonist is living quite comfortably." Lin Yan tapped her fingers on the table.

It seemed the female protagonist hadn't yet escaped the shadow of her previous life, or she wouldn't be considering making money so early.

"Yes." What the system didn't say was that without the host's presence, the female protagonist was more relaxed than in the original novel. After all, without a comparison next to her, the female protagonist wasn't as pitifully contrasted.

However, this also made the female protagonist less like the "green tea" or "white lotus" facade of feigned understanding in the original work.

She dedicated all her energy to pleasing the Fu family, and without Lin Yan by her side, she seemed more arrogant and conceited than in the original novel.

Just then, Lin Yan's teacher rushed over, "Lin... Lin Yan, please come out with me for a moment."

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over her. She quickly got up and walked out of the classroom.

As Lin Yan reached the classroom door, she heard the teacher say, "Lin Yan, your mother was in a car accident and is now in the hospital."

"Which hospital? Is it serious?" Lin Yan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, your mother is not seriously injured, just a fractured leg. I've already written you a leave slip, you can go directly. It's at the People's Hospital." The teacher handed Lin Yan a leave slip.

"Thank you, teacher! I'll go to the hospital then." Lin Yan took the slip and prepared to leave.

"Lin Yan, do you have any money on you?" The teacher stopped her.

"Yes, teacher, you don't need to worry." With that, Lin Yan left.

On the way, Lin Yan directly contacted her father and learned her mother's room number. She hailed a taxi from the roadside and headed straight to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the ward, Lin Yan saw her mother lying in bed, one leg suspended, her head bandaged. Her father sat by the bedside, wiping her mother's hands.

"Dad, Mom," Lin Yan walked to the bedside.

"Yan Yan, you're here. Actually, I'm not seriously injured, you didn't need to rush over." Her mother wasn't severely hurt, just a fractured leg, with other parts being abrasions.

"It's not a minor injury if you have to be hospitalized." Lin Yan said unhappily. She knew her parents didn't want her to worry, so no matter how serious an incident, they would downplay it.

Lin Yan's father offered his stool to Lin Yan. Lin Yan didn't sit but moved to the other side of her mother's bed, carefully examining the wound on her mother's head.

"The wound on your mother's head isn't serious, it's the leg injury that's worse," her father said, trying to comfort his daughter's worried expression.

"How could there be a car accident? Doesn't Mom ride an electric scooter to work?"

"It was those reckless drivers who ran a red light. Your mother couldn't even dodge it. And the car fled after hitting your mother. It was passersby who helped send your mother to the hospital."

Lin Yan's father grew angry at the mention of the hit-and-run driver. Running a red light, hitting someone, and then fleeing! Truly wicked to the core!

"Did you report it to the police?" Lin Yan asked.

"Yes, we did. The police took a statement. It was at an intersection, so there should be surveillance," her mother said.

Lin Yan looked at her mother with heartache, "Then Mom, you must rest well. It takes a hundred days for bones to heal. Have you taken leave from school?"

"I've taken leave. Yan Yan, don't worry so much. Since you're here, you can stay here. I'll go home to make food and bring it to you."

"I don't need anyone to look after me here, there are doctors and nurses! Let Yan Yan go back to school, don't let it affect her classes!"

"Mom, you know my grades. It won't be affected. Just let me stay here with you." Lin Yan held her mother's hand and looked at the abrasions on her arm.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's fine now, the wounds have been treated. It looks bad, but it doesn't hurt much!" her mother said.

"The child is worried about you. She won't be at ease going back to school, so let her stay with you. I'll go home first to cook. Then I'll help your mother pack some things."

After speaking, Lin Yan's father tidied the small cabinet by the bedside and then walked out of the ward.

Lin Yan continued what her father had been doing, wiping other parts of her mother's body.

"Mom, you should drive to work, or let Dad drive you. Electric scooters are hot in summer, cold in winter, and you get rained on when it rains. Since the shop doesn't open early, he can take you."

"It's not that far, and this car accident was just an accident. It's also inconvenient for your dad to drive you every day!" Her mother felt, for the first time, that her daughter was being a bit willful.

"Then let's buy another car! A car with better safety features. Mom, I remember you have a driver's license."

"But Yan Yan, have you thought about whether we have that much money?" her mother said with a hint of bitterness.
