Chapter 323 Roar, the first life of being a sister to Muchen
Chapter 323 Roar, the first life of being a sister to Muchen
"You..." Qin Heyang's eyes moved back and forth between the three faces, "Have you been acting all this time?"
Muchen, the former Mu Chengcheng, finally spoke.
His voice carried a rhythm that Qin Heyang was familiar with: "Brother Heyang, you are always like this, only believing what you want to believe." He gently folded his arms and took a step forward. "The me you saw half a year ago and the me you see now, which one is the real me?"
"I don't understand..." Qin Heyang murmured, feeling dizzy. "If you have known each other for a long time, why did you..."
"What you saw half a year ago is what we wanted you to see." Si Rong interrupted him, her voice suddenly cold. "Not long after Cheng Cheng arrived at your Qin family, she discovered the matter of the substitute Gu. It's just that at that time, we were still young and had no ability to fight back."
These words were like a bolt of lightning splitting the night sky. Qin Heyang turned suddenly to Si Rong: "So you approached me on purpose?"
Sirong shook her head, a few drops of rain sliding down her delicate chin. "This is truly a coincidence." Her tone was surprisingly calm, even tinged with nostalgia. "After Chengcheng arrived at your house, she was placed under strict surveillance. We had no chance to contact each other at all."
Qin Heyang's brow furrowed. Memories flooded back. When Mu Chengcheng first arrived at the Qin family, his father had indeed arranged for someone to "take care" of her daily life. At the time, he'd thought it was just routine security, but now, thinking about it, it was clearly surveillance.
"We met when she was delivering your homework to school." Sirong continued, with a faint smile on her lips.
These words were like a key, instantly unlocking a scene deep in Qin Heyang's memory. It was a rainy day, and he, a freshman in high school, had forgotten his homework at home and called Mu Chengcheng to bring it to him.
When he hurried to the school gate, he saw Mu Chengchengcheng and Sirong standing under the sycamore tree and talking.
"That day..." Qin Heyang's voice was a little dry, "You were at the school gate..."
"You only cared about whether your homework book was wet." Lin Sirong took over the conversation, her eyes sharp. "You didn't even notice that Chengcheng's shoes were soaked. Wasn't this your best way of humiliating Chengcheng at the time?"
At the time, Qin Heyang hated the fact that Mu Chengcheng was his fiancée. However, both his grandmother, who doted on him the most, and his grandfather, who held the highest authority in the family, remained steadfast in their support for the marriage.
At that time, the whole family hid the matter from Qin Heyang because they were afraid that he would be retaliated against after he knew about the substitute Gu.
So, when Qin Heyang was in high school, what he liked to do most was to treat Mu Chengcheng as a servant. He liked to order her around like a servant and make her deliver things to him.
Let his classmates watch Mu Chengcheng, fat and clumsy, running around covered in sweat, and then be treated as if he were a transparent person.
It seemed that this would let those classmates who knew that Mu Chengcheng was his fiancée know what his attitude was.
There was no way. Many of his classmates came from families in the business district of S City. They had known from various dinner parties that Qin Heyang had an ugly fiancée with a poor family background.
After paying a simple tribute to Old Lady Qin, Sirong and her group left.
The Qin family's fate was left to President Lin. The once-powerful Qin Group collapsed rapidly after Qin's father was imprisoned, leaving it mired in debt and its assets liquidated. The Qin family mansion was repossessed by the bank as collateral, awaiting a new owner.
Mu Chen and Si Rong went to deal with the mortgaged Qin family old house when they left S City. They cleaned out all the poisonous insect mycelium buried underground and purified the house to prevent subsequent residents from suffering secondary harm.
In the end, Muchen was still not used to getting along with Sirong as a daughter.
It's not that she hates him, it's just... it always feels awkward. So she simply let Sirong go back to the research institute to make a difference for her country, while she accompanied Sirong's adoptive parents on their travels around the world, enjoying delicious food from all over the world.
Sirong's adoptive parents happily followed him everywhere, treating him like their own daughter. Occasionally, Lin Wantang and her mother would join their travels.
Ever since the Qin family incident, President Lin has adopted a casual attitude towards his daughter's marriage. He no longer wants to find a son-in-law who is just the right match for his daughter. As long as his daughter likes him, he doesn't mind even if the in-laws sell tea eggs.
After experiencing the incident with the Qin family, President Lin and Mrs. Lin have completely let go of their daughter's marriage.
"My daughter, you can marry whoever you like in the future. Even if your in-laws sell tea eggs, I don't mind!" She waved her hand proudly.
Lin Wantang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, you're too extreme..."
Mother Lin snorted, "What's so extreme about that? Look at the Qin family. What's the point of being well-matched? In the end, didn't they end up ruining themselves?"
Lin Wantang shook her head helplessly, but her heart was filled with warmth: "Then what if I don't get married?"
"Sure, why not?" Mother Lin said, not even looking up. Her tone was as natural as if she was discussing what to eat tonight. "Haven't you heard what they said online recently? Getting married is about finding your own destiny."
Lin Wantang: “…”
"As long as you don't want to get married, your dad has me." Mother Lin swiped her finger and successfully captured a fat goose on her phone. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, "Besides, how much do you think your dad wants you to get married?
On the day you and Qin Heyang got engaged, he hid in the study for a long time. When he came out, his eyes were red, but he pretended nothing happened.
She rushed to Lin Ma and snuggled into her arms like she did when she was a child: "Woo woo, I know mom and dad are the best."
Lin Ma's hand trembled when she bumped into her, and the goose ran away, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and hugged her: "How old are you and still acting like a spoiled child?"
"No matter how old she is, she is still your daughter." Lin Wantang refused to move.
Lin's mother was helpless. She simply put down her phone and pinched her face: "Okay, stop being so annoying. What do you want to eat tonight? Ask your dad to bring it when he comes back."
"Hot pot!" Lin Wantang's eyes lit up. "I want the super spicy kind!"
"Ah! You can't let your dad take us there. Let's go out to eat and call Muchen and Sirong's parents." Mother Lin went to the kitchen to get some cut fruit. "See if Sirong has time. If she can come out, we can come together."
"okay!"
Decades later, when news of Sirong and Muchen's deaths came out, the country officially revealed Sirong's true identity.
She is not only a top scientist in the field of biology, but also a core figure in a national secret project.
Her research results have turned the situation around at critical moments many times.
