C6 The Abandoned Daughter of a Rich Family(6)

Mo Tingchen was a computer whiz, yet he couldn't crack the code, feeling his pride was under attack. Frustrated, he smashed several computers. Earlier, he saw the photos and was furious, calling Yiyi over. When Yiyi arrived, he didn't mention the photos, just vented his anger. Then, he started targeting the "leading men" in the photos.

Initially, Yiyi wanted Mo Tingchen's help against Lingling, but seeing his mood, she kept quiet. Lingling watched them fight fire with fire, break up and make up, and was pleased they had no time to bother her. In the original owner's short, tragic life, Yiyi's followers played a significant role. However, Lingling underestimated Yiyi's ability to stir up trouble.

The next day, Yiyi contacted Lingling, informing her that the Yuan family was attending a birthday party that evening. Lingling thought, "Rich families, even their birthday parties are more frequent..."

After a few days of special care, Lingling's skin had turned a sun-kissed tan, much improved from before. In the evening, she arrived at the party in a light gray-white evening gown, her makeup meticulously done. However, without an invitation, she couldn't get in and was stuck outside. She called Yuan Lin three times, but no one answered.

Lingling casually sent a text to Yiyi: "Sis, there are reporters at the entrance asking me lots of questions. I'm a bit nervous..."

When Yiyi got the message, she panicked, worried Lingling might say something reckless. She rushed out, searched the entrance for a while, but couldn't find her, sweating with anxiety. When she nervously went back inside, she found Lingling calmly sitting on the sofa, sipping a drink!

Yiyi stormed over, ready to confront her, but realizing they were at the party, she swallowed her anger. Then she noticed—when did Lingling become so beautiful? How could she be this stunning?

Yuan Yiyi walked up to Yuan Lingling, her eyes already red, and asked pitifully, "Sister, why didn't you tell me when you came in? I've been waiting for you at the door for so long, my legs are tired."

Lingling was amazed internally: Wow, she's a natural! That performance didn’t even need practice.

Everyone around immediately assumed that the real daughter of the Yuan family was bullying Yiyi again and started to criticize.

"Typical behavior from someone who grew up in the sticks—no manners."

"Exactly! She uses her status to push people around, not even realizing if she deserves it."

"Yiyi is so kind, and she just picks on the weak."

"Come on, she's still the legitimate daughter."

"So what? A crude, ignorant country girl, even if her status is real, she can't hold her own here."

After everyone had their say, Yiyi cried, "Please, everyone, don't blame my sister. She lived in a different place before and doesn't know the rules here."

"Yiyi, you're so kind to speak up for her, but she won't appreciate it."

"Yeah, if she doesn't know the rules, she should learn them. It's embarrassing."

"She should just stay at home if she can't handle being out here."

A group of privileged kids grumbled, and if Lingling didn't know better, she'd think she was at a bustling market instead of a fancy party.

Seeing Lingling stay silent, Yiyi felt even more triumphant. She thought Lingling had changed, but it turns out she's still the same timid pushover.

When Yuan Lin and Su Mei arrived, the crowd quieted down a bit, but they were still accusing Lingling of bullying Yiyi. Most of them didn't even know what had happened. This just showed how powerful Yiyi's tears were.

Yuan Lin saw Lingling and, without asking what happened, immediately said, "Yuan Lingling, did you bully Yiyi again? Apologize to her right now, or you're going home!"
