Chapter 149 Night Visit to the Lin Family
Chapter 149 Night Visit to the Lin Family
That evening, just as Lin Shushu was about to leave, Mo Ze arrived. Sensing her intentions, Mo Ze said nothing and immediately followed.
"You followed me without even asking where I was going?" Lin Shushu looked at him amusedly.
“Anywhere is fine, I can keep watch for you.” Mo Ze rarely joked like this, but he knew exactly where Lin Shushu was headed.
The two figures sped across the city, so fast that even the surveillance cameras couldn't capture them.
Upon arriving at the Lin family home, Lin Shushu did not go to anyone first. Instead, she went to the small courtyard where the original owner of the body had lived, the prison where she had spent 18 lonely years.
This place is completely abandoned and desolate. Even the tree that Lin Keke ordered the original owner to climb to help her catch the cat has withered and died.
In less than two years, everything here seemed to have completed its mission with the departure of the original owner, taking away all traces of the original owner's existence.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard, Lin Shushu felt a sense of disorientation. She had a feeling that she was seeing fragments of her past life here. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the girl was herself or the original owner of this body? Or perhaps, they were the same person?
Mo Ze noticed her unusual behavior but didn't disturb her. What she needed now was to come to her senses from that dazed world.
After a long while, Lin Shushu finally moved.
"Let's go!" She had calmed down and her face was now composed.
Following their divine senses, the two arrived at Ning Ya's courtyard.
Ning Ya had already gone to bed, but she wasn't sleeping very soundly. In fact, she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while.
Lin Shushu was somewhat surprised. She was certain that she had not drugged her, but why were her symptoms similar to those of Lin Keke, who had been given traditional Chinese medicine? The same delirious babbling, as if she were trapped in a dream and unable to escape.
Lin Shushu leaned closer to listen carefully, and words such as "go away," "it wasn't me," and "I did nothing wrong" reached her ears.
That makes things easier; it will make it easier for her to ask questions.
After setting up a mesmerizing array and pulling Ning Ya inside, Lin Shushu also entered the array.
Ning Ya was still in a nightmare, but she has now woken up. However, she found herself in a strange place. There was only white mist all around, which seemed to stretch to the horizon, and dark shadows occasionally drifted by.
"Is anyone there? Where am I?" The unknown only amplified her fear. She walked along, trying to attract attention so that someone could lead her away from this strange place.
She didn't know how long she had walked, but just as she was about to break down, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Who are you? Are you here to save me?" Upon seeing the figure appear, Ning Ya excitedly stepped forward and asked, as if grasping at a straw.
But when she saw the figure clearly, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud, her fingers trembling. "You...you...you weren't dead, were you? How come you're here?"
Lin Shushu raised an eyebrow. People under the illusion array would project their feelings onto the people they encountered as either their favorite or most hated individuals. From her words, it wasn't hard to guess that it was the latter, and the person she hated most was undoubtedly An Sheng.
The same is true.
In Ning Ya's eyes at this moment, Lin Shushu was just like An Sheng when she first arrived on the Imperial Star. That was how An Sheng looked when Ning Ya first met her, before she was ravaged into the lifeless person she would become later.
"That's right, it's me. It's been so many years, I've come to find you." After saying this, Lin Shushu let out a chilling laugh.
"You...you stay away, I...I have nothing to say to you." Ning Ya sat on the ground, shaking her head and shifting her buttocks backward.
"How could you not have it? You've worn the title of Mrs. Lin for so long, shouldn't you give it back to me?"
Hearing the words of the person opposite her, Ning Ya forgot her fear. She stopped what she was doing and shouted, "This was originally mine. You stole my spot. I'm just taking back what belongs to me."
"It's no use denying it. Ayu has never liked you. No matter how you express it, you're not in his eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married me." Lin Shushu said these words while suppressing her disgust.
"You're talking nonsense. If it weren't for you, he would have married me sooner or later." Ning Ya said with a smug smile, "So what if you married him first? You still died early in the end, while I was the one who laughed last."
"How did I die? Do you dare to tell me?"
"How would I know how you died? You came from a remote planet, and you couldn't bear the blessings of being the matriarch of the Lin family. Who can you blame?"
"Is that so? Whether you admit it or not, your good fortune has come to an end today. I'm here to take you away. And your descendants, I won't let a single one of them go."
After those vicious words were spoken, a chilling aura, accompanied by wind and rain, swept towards Ning Ya. Her expression changed drastically, and she retreated hastily. "You dare! The Lin family will not let you get away with this!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was lifted up and thrown to the ground by a powerful force. After several repetitions, Ning Ya felt as if all the bones in her body had shifted. Her face showed terror. The person in front of her frightened her. Thinking of what she had just heard, she gave up struggling.
“I did it. If you want revenge, come at me. Don’t touch my children. They are Lin Yu’s children too.”
"You finally admit it?"
Since things had come to this point, Ning Ya no longer denied it.
"That's right, I did it. Who told you to get in my way? I've liked him since I was a child, and our two families were planning to arrange a marriage between us. Your appearance swayed everything off track, so of course I have to set things right..."
In Ning Ya's subsequent narration, Lin Shushu finally learned about what happened back then.
Back then, Lin Yu married An Sheng despite the pressure, and the two did indeed enjoy an enviable period of life at first.
However, Lin Yu's father soon handed over the Lin family affairs to him, which he was initially unwilling to take on because it would take up a lot of his time.
Lin's parents blamed everything on An Sheng. To appease their anger, Lin Yu gave in. From then on, he spent less and less time with An Sheng.
An Sheng was trapped in an unfamiliar environment, looked down upon by everyone around her, and lacked her husband's company, which made her increasingly sensitive.
It was at this time that Ning Ya began to make her plans.
Because the two families were close, she was very familiar with the people and affairs of the Lin family. So she secretly bribed the servants to go to places where An Sheng appeared from time to time and pretend to unintentionally reveal that everyone disliked An Sheng.
Meanwhile, when An Sheng was about to go to Lin Yu, she was dissuaded by others who said that Lin Yu was busy with clan affairs and could not indulge in romantic feelings. If she was sensible, she should not disturb him.
An Sheng knew that she was not valued by the Lin family, so she tried her best not to do anything to displease them. Even though she really wanted to see Lin Yu, she had to suppress her desire to go to him.
Lin Yu was indeed very busy, sometimes spending ten days or half a month away from home. As a result, the people around An Sheng started to discuss whether Lin Yu regretted marrying a wife who couldn't help him at all, and whether he might already have another family outside.
An Sheng overheard these words, but she dared not ask Lin Yu, fearing that the truth was what she had heard. As time went on, her distress became unbearable, and her life became extremely repressed, leading to mental health problems.
After Lin Yu discovered this, he asked the people around An Sheng for the reason, and learned that Ning Ya had instructed them to say so.
Those people told him that An Sheng had said more than once that she regretted coming to the Imperial Star with him, and even suspected that he hadn't been home for a long time because he had someone else outside.
Lin Yu was furious after hearing this. He remembered An Sheng's hesitant manner every time she wanted to speak, and he was annoyed that she didn't trust him. In the end, he didn't ask her for confirmation.
"So it was you who was behind it all."
"I did do some things, but if your relationship is truly stronger than ever, how could you be swayed by a few words and drift apart?"
