Lin Feiwei grew more indignant the more she thought about it. She hadn't even wanted to go downstairs for dinner at first, but then she reconsidered. Why shouldn't she go? Wouldn't that be playing right into Ye Wan's hands?
She immediately got up and rummaged through her closet, turning all her clothes inside out until she found a dazzling gown that satisfied her. She quickly changed into the gown, put on makeup, and meticulously styled her hair, transforming herself into a doll before heading downstairs.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, everyone looked up at her. Lin Feiwei smiled and walked down, settling into the living room. "Ye Wan, welcome to my home!"
Ye Wan was dressed very simply: a white sweater, black nine-tenths length wool pants, and a pair of white casual shoes. Her hair, which had grown a bit longer, was tied into a messy bun, revealing a face of pure, unparalleled beauty. She looked youthful and invincible.
"You don't need to welcome me. I come when I want," Ye Wan said. She intensely disliked Lin Feiwei and saw no reason to be pleasant to her.
Lin Zehan was speechless. He looked at Lin Feiwei and said, "Why are you dressed like that? We're just having a casual meal together today. Go change into something else before coming down."
"Yes, Weiwei, look how comfortably Ye Wan is dressed. It's not a banquet, so you're being too formal. It's not suitable for a family dinner," Mrs. Lin couldn't help but add.
Lin Feiwei was nearly furious. What was wrong with her dressing up so meticulously? She was being criticized by everyone!
Ye Wan continued to eat her fruit, ignoring Lin Feiwei, deliberately projecting an air of superiority. She felt she might be turning bad, simply wanting to see Lin Feiwei lose her temper!
She wasn't a bodhisattva. After being switched at birth and abused by her birth mother, she had a tragic life. Lin Feiwei had also bullied her for so long and nearly caused her brother's death. She would never forgive her!
Though Lin Feiwei was angry, she now cared deeply about the Lin family's opinion of her. She huffily went upstairs, changed into a casual outfit, and came back down.
During the meal, Mrs. Lin kept serving Ye Wan food. Lin Zehan's eyes were solely focused on Ye Wan, his sister. Mr. Lin, who had been stern-faced, suddenly proposed that Ye Wan change her surname.
This statement stunned everyone. They all looked at Ye Wan. Lin Feiwei clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, her eyes instantly reddening. Now that Ye Wan wasn't returning to the Lin family, she already felt squeezed out of any living space. If she changed her surname, how would she survive?
"There's something I think I should tell everyone. Ye Wenqing is back." Ye Wan ignored Mr. Lin's words and dropped a bombshell.
Everyone at the table froze. Mrs. Lin asked incredulously, "How dare she come back?"
"She's here to claim the child. I just don't know if she'll want to take you with her too?" Ye Wan smiled, looking at Lin Feiwei.
"Don't talk nonsense. That person has nothing to do with me! I am the Lin family's daughter!" Lin Feiwei's face changed dramatically.
"That person is your mother, your biological mother! It's no use denying it! After all, you both have the same blood flowing through you." Ye Wan looked at her with utter disdain, as if she were looking at something dirty.
The Lin family members at the table looked displeased, their gazes fixed on Lin Feiwei.
What Ye Wan said was true. Lin Feiwei was the biological daughter of that human trafficker, Ye Wenqing. Was that why she was so wicked, daring to commit murder and arson?
"Ye Wan! Shut up! I have nothing to do with her!" Lin Feiwei was going mad, wishing she could rush over and strangle Ye Wan.
"What an ungrateful wretch. Your birth mother is quite protective of you, isn't she? Constantly trying to distance herself from you, just wanting her daughter to continue living a life of luxury as the young lady of the Lin family. But... you are her daughter. That's a fact that cannot be changed," Ye Wan said mockingly.
