Lin Qingge unfolded the thick stack of letter paper, the familiar handwriting leaping off the page.
However, it was not the Han characters of the Great Xia Kingdom written on it, but modern English.
My dearest Xiao Ge'er:
By the time you read this letter, I must have already left this place.
Don't be surprised.
How to put it.
It's just that Xiao Ge'er, you don't know me, or rather, you've forgotten me, but I've been closely observing your every move all these years.
Unfortunately, the adorable Xiao Ge'er still followed her mother's path and embarked on the road of serving the people.
Oh, right, I forgot to mention.
Xiao Ge'er, you and I are both transmigrated from modern times to this place.
But it's different from Xiao Ge'er; I transmigrated as a fetus, so I arrived here more than ten years earlier than Xiao Ge'er.
I know Xiao Ge'er, you have many questions.
First, allow me to reintroduce myself.
My birth name is Lin Jingxing, nickname Starlight. My father is a wealthy businessman, and my mother is a second-level police superintendent. I have a younger sister, Lin Qingge, who was born not long ago.
That is, you, Xiao Ge'er~
＜(￣3￣)＞
Originally, our family of four lived together happily.
But I don't know when it started, our Lin family seemed to be under a spell, and misfortune followed one after another.
First, Xiao Ge'er, you were kidnapped by your father's business rival, and then I was attacked by criminals apprehended by my mother.
Later, my father and mother discovered that all these people were instigated by Lin Yue.
This Lin Yue is my uncle's illegitimate son from outside. He is much older than me and is related to our Lin family.
My father, not understanding, went to confront Lin Yue with evidence.
From Lin Yue's mouth, I learned that if my father hadn't snatched the company that my uncle should have inherited, my uncle wouldn't have been drinking every day, nor would he have taken his anger out on Lin Yue's mother.
Lin Yue's mother dared not resist, so she could only turn around and abuse him.
Until one day, unable to bear the burden, he set the house ablaze.
Having lost his shelter, he regarded my father and our family as the culprits of his tragic life, and after he came of age and gained some ability, he launched a nearly insane revenge against our family.
Let's not talk about how absurd and far-fetched the reason for his resentment is.
According to my father, when the Lin family's company's capital chain broke and was on the verge of collapse, it was my uncle who voluntarily gave up his inheritance of the company, leaving this mess for my father who was studying abroad.
And my uncle took away the remaining cash on the company's books, abandoned his wife and children, and flew away with his mistress.
But money runs out eventually, not to mention that my uncle was accustomed to spending lavishly, and the money was soon squandered.
Penniless, my uncle shamelessly returned to beg my father. My father, for the sake of his parents, transferred a sum of money from his own account to my uncle.
But this money was quickly spent by my uncle again.
At this time, the company, under my father's strenuous efforts, gradually got back on track.
My uncle, however, claimed his right as the eldest son to retake control of the company.
My uncle was simply not someone who could manage a company well, but he held 20% of the company's shares.
When my father was at a loss, his uncle's original wife stepped forward.
That aunt was a formidable woman. She first produced a pile of evidence proving her uncle's infidelity during the marriage. After obtaining all of her uncle's assets, including the shares.
As a shareholder of the company, she directly issued a statement that her uncle and dogs were forbidden from entering the company.
Having no other recourse, my uncle had to go home to beg his parents. His grandmother had also secretly subsidized him with her retirement funds, but after my uncle asked too many times, my grandfather discovered it and strictly forbade it.
Finally, the impoverished uncle could only spend his days drinking.
My father thought that by explaining clearly to Lin Yue, he could make Lin Yue stop.
But the twisted and paranoid Lin Yue didn't believe my father's words at all, and stubbornly immersed himself in his own tragic world.
To avenge his father, he colluded with his father's business rivals.
But my father was no longer the impulsive young man he once was. The commercial empire he had built was by no means something that a rabble could shake.
And my mother, in order to bring Lin Yue to justice, began to collect evidence of Lin Yue burning his uncle and his mother to death.
Just when I thought everything was developing in a good direction, a sudden change occurred.
The Lin Group was exposed for using substandard materials to pass off inferior products as superior. The whistleblower journalist's claims were well-founded, with pictures and evidence, immediately pushing the Lin Group to the forefront of public opinion.
Coincidentally, at this time, my mother was involved in a traffic accident while investigating a lead and was struck by an oncoming large truck, falling into a coma.
My father was a complete love-struck fool. Seeing his mother's tragic state, he went mad.
He went to seek revenge on Lin Yue, but instead, the reporters live-streamed his beating of Lin Yue.
The Lin Group was in peril, but more precarious than the Lin Group was my mother's life.
After several rounds of rescue, my mother eventually left us forever.
The next day, someone found my father, beaten beyond recognition, by the side of the highway outside the city.
Overnight, only my younger sister and I were left of the Lin family.
My father and mother's deaths were too strange. I vowed to avenge them, but I was also worried that the young Xiao Ge'er would also meet with misfortune.
Therefore, I could only temporarily place Xiao Ge'er in an orphanage.
The company was annexed, and I took the remaining money and went abroad, changing my name. I only returned when I had enough capability.
But what I never expected was that I would repeat the fate of my parents!
To be honest, I don't think that Lin Yue is that smart or capable.
But every time I was one step behind, and in the final revenge, I lost my life.
However, after dying, I realized that the world we lived in was just a novel.
The protagonist of the novel was Lin Yue, and the female protagonist was the rookie reporter who exposed the Lin Group.
It's ridiculous, isn't it?
In order to highlight the protagonist's tragic background and his courage to resist fate, my father and mother were forcibly labeled as villains.
In order to "reclaim everything that belonged to him," he had to kill my father and mother.
He, the son of a mistress, whose tragic background was the result of his father's infidelity and his mother's complicity, what did it have to do with my father and mother?
Let alone inheritance rights, he, who wasn't even eligible for a household registration, why should he claim anything belonging to the Lin family?
As for that silly, sweet female lead, she was even more speechless.
A rookie in her first job, she was quick to jump to conclusions. Hearing someone casually mention that this batch of materials was reduced by 20%, she arrogantly assumed that the Lin Group was cutting corners.
That batch of goods was clearly custom-made for the needs of a special group.
My father didn't even receive a penny for it.
Yet, such a benevolent act was slandered by her as shoddy work!
If only that silly, sweet female lead had investigated a little deeper, she wouldn't have published such a distorted report.
The most absurd thing is that the customizer had contacted the female lead to explain.
But this brain-dead female lead stubbornly believed that the customizer was forced by my father and coerced into giving this explanation, and wanted to help the customizer seek justice.
This enraged the customizer, who then cursed the female lead.
