Chapter 654: Don’t Blame Sister

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In her previous life, Lin Miao had saved the day at a music tea party on the top floor of Xinghua Department Store, where she served as a foreign language host. Her performance was met with universal praise, and the department store’s manager was so impressed that he recommended her for a position at the Guangcheng Newspaper as a foreign language editor.

This job was not only high-paying and prestigious, but it also brought her a great deal of respect in her community. Many people sought to curry favor with her family because of it. Gu Shan and Zhang Mei began to value her more, and for the first time, Gong Zhan acknowledged her in public. After she started working, she unexpectedly received two school admission quotas from one of the top foreign language primary schools in Guangcheng.

She gave these quotas to the two grandsons of Lin Laoda, the town’s most influential figure. By doing this, she managed to win over Lin Laoda’s family. This act also led to Lin Laoda’s family reestablishing ties with Lin Lao’er’s family, and before long, they began to appreciate her and resumed their relationship with her, their adopted daughter.

However, everything had changed now. Ever since the last music tea party, things had been spiraling out of her control. There were times when she would sit quietly, trying to sort out her memories, and she would feel as if her memories were in disarray.

The job that was once hers had been stolen by Gu Zi. She realized that all the changes and differences in this life stemmed from Gu Zi. It was Gu Zi who was deliberately taking everything that belonged to her.

Lin Miao’s face turned pale, and she lamented with regret, “Father, Mother, I’m sorry. I’ve let you down.

“I’ve been so unfilial, causing you to worry and run around for me. I’ve learned my lesson now. When I get out, I won’t go anywhere else. I won’t go to the Gong family. I will stay by your side.

“Don’t blame my sister. She must have been too busy to come and see you. Do you know how I found out she had returned to the city?

“Haha, it turns out she does care about me. I overheard some of the prison guards talking about it. It’s good this way. I don’t owe her anything anymore…”

She was a pitiful sight, alternating between crying and laughing. It was a disturbing sight that startled her parents, but they couldn’t bring themselves to blame her. Their biological daughter must have suffered a lot these days.

Lin Miao’s words were vague, which led Zhang Mei to believe that her earlier guess was correct. Gu Zi must have bribed the prison guards to torment Lin Miao. Gu Zi, the ungrateful wretch, had been raised by their family for over a decade for nothing!

Zhang Mei was annoyed when she remembered how she had felt sorry for Gu Zi. It was Lin Miao who was truly wronged. She comforted her, “Miao Miao, Mom has already forgiven you. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t scare Mom, okay?

“Your father and I have discussed it. When you get out, we will help you start over. As long as you can endure these days, there will be a bright future ahead.”

Lin Miao didn’t argue. She nodded repeatedly, “Mom, Dad, I deserve this. I will reform myself. When I get out, I will work hard to make you proud.

“There’s something I need to say. It might affect your relationship with my sister, but I have to say it because I feel wronged. Mom, is that okay?”

Zhang Mei didn’t hesitate, “Of course you can say it. Even though we’ve raised her for over a decade and treated her like our own daughter, you are our flesh and blood. No one can replace you.”

A hint of irony flashed in Lin Miao’s eyes. As she had suspected, her parents were planning to seek out Gu Zi.

However, Lin Miao maintained her composure, “Then I’ll say it. Actually, the hosting gig at the tea party was the opportunity that led to my sister getting a good job.

“If she hadn’t insisted on replacing Gong Xin on stage that day, I would have been the one to gain attention. That job would have been mine.

“If I had gotten that opportunity, maybe I would have returned the dowry and wouldn’t have ended up like this. Of course, I mainly blame myself. I grew up in the countryside, and my foreign language skills are far inferior to my sister’s…”

Bang!

Gu Shan and his wife stood up simultaneously, slapping the table in shock. They hadn’t expected there to be such a backstory.
