Chapter 1173: Attracting Fans for You with My Looks
Lu Zhanbei said plainly, “You have guessed correctly. After Lin Xiao was sent to the orphanage at the age of five, the Lin family announced that she died from an illness. Under the pretense of having her illness treated overseas, Lin Qingxi, this illegitimate daughter, changed her name and returned to the Lin family to lead her life.”
“What was she called in the past?”
“Sun Yunbao.”
Lin Wanwan closed her eyes.
She seemed to have some impression of the name Sun Yunbao.
That little girl had visited the Lin family several times. On one occasion, Sun Yunbao had pushed her into the swimming pool and nearly drowned her.
When she woke up, her family criticized her for standing next to the pool and causing Sun Yunbao to cry out of guilt.
She only felt wronged at that time. Now that she thought about it, she shuddered.
Si Han frowned. “An illegitimate daughter entering the family. Could it be that your mother didn’t object to it?”
Lin Wanwan smiled sarcastically. “How would a woman who lived off a man dare to have any opinion?”
When Lin Xiao was disfigured and sent to the orphanage, her mother didn’t say a single word at all.
Lin Qingxi was pretty ruthless. She took over her identity, snatched away her parents’ love for her, and obtained her fiancé. Now, she even dared to step on her dead body to try and bring herself to great success.
“I’m going to expose her.”
Si Han shook his head. “The effect won’t be great. You’re no longer Lin Xiao now. If you speak the truth, people would only think that you’re harboring evil intentions. Lin Xiao’s parents would definitely stand on Lin Qingxi’s side. With them as testimony, even my words wouldn’t be convincing enough.”
Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its own cub. Who would suspect parents harming their own flesh and blood?
Lin Wanwan’s voice turned cold. “So are we just going to let this matter go?”
Lu Zhanbei touched her head. “Although Lin Xiao’s dead, Lin Wanwan can similarly defeat her.”
Lin Wanwan was stunned. Then, she clenched her fist. “Yes. Since Lin Xiao’s so-called parents chose to abandon me, I won’t think of them anymore. If Lin Qingxi wants to pick up whatever that I don’t want, that’s up to her. However, she should forget about stepping on me to climb up the ranks!”
Seeing that the layer of haze in her eyes had been swept away, Si Han laughed lightly.
On the way back, Lu Zhanbei ignored Lin Wanwan.
As they entered the Yun Mansion, Lin Wanwan looked at him with grievances. “Lu Zhanbei, my sad past has been mentioned. As my boyfriend, you should comfort me, not give me dirty looks.”
“Sad? Why don’t you try crying, then?”
Lin Wanwan’s lips twitched. She recalled how Lu Zhanbei nearly died back then, and a layer of mist formed in her eyes immediately.
Lu Zhanbei’s eyes froze. “You’re not allowed to cry!”
Lin Wanwan held back her tears and glared at him angrily. “Are you finding fault?”
Lu Zhanbei pinched her cheeks with both hands and pulled them lightly. “You’re better off smiling. That way, you’ll look foolishly cute.”
“…” What kind of boyfriend was this?!
Lin Wanwan went to take a shower angrily.
Before sleeping, she lay on the bed and played with her mobile.
All the major platforms on the Internet were talking about Lin Qingxi being Lin Xiao’s sister. On the voting websites, Lin Qingxi’s votes were initially lagging behind Lin Wanwan’s by a huge margin. However, within a day, their votes were almost equal now. The power of Lin Xiao’s fans could be seen.
“Snort…”
Lin Wanwan’s laugh caused Lu Zhanbei to glance at her. “What are you laughing at?”
“Am I competing against myself?”
“Yes.”
Lin Wanwan rubbed her chin. “I have to think of a way to boost my popularity.”
“I have a suggestion. Do you want to listen?”
“Tell me.”
“Let’s reveal our relationship. I’ll attract fans for you with my looks.”
