Chapter 12

Yi Shuyan was now in a good mood and went on with preparing her notes for her class tomorrow.

She had dinner with Yue Ling before they both went to bed.

Yue Ling sent a message to somebody before going to WeChat to talk to Bingbing who had called and excitedly told her that she bought her a dress.

The next morning Yi Shuyan left early and Yue Ling came downstairs later. She missed breakfast with her mother because she had other plans today and didn't want Yi Shuyan to follow.

She woke up early and spoke with her lawyer with whom she had talked to yesterday night. Her plan was to go to the Lin family home to claim her inheritance and warn them. It was best to eradicate such problems.

Aunt Xu saw Yue Ling's dress code and couldn't help but wonder what happened. Her young miss even left her bedroom later than she usually does and she was in a hurry.

Yue Ling drove to meet her lawyer and they went together in the latter 's car.

The butler of the house was confused when the security called him downstairs to confirm the lady who was accompanied by someone. The lady claimed to be the second miss.

Yue Ling was let in and wasn't even surprised as she anticipated it. She was welcomed by the sight of Madam Lin sitting on her favorite chair and Lin Yaoha who was sitting beside her gloomily when she entered the living room.

The atmosphere in the room was intense with everyone silently staring at each other. The two ladies were analysing Yue Ling and she was staring back.

"Little Ling, how have you been?," Wang Changli spoke first. She knew it was Yue Ling just from her eyes. The young woman in front of her now wasn't the same person who left and she was glad. It made her happy about the choice back then of allowing Yi Shuyan to take her, Lin Qinqing hadn't inherited her mother's good looks,not even anybody in her family. Apart from her beautiful rare eyes, everything else about her was plain.

"Madam Lin and Miss Lin,"Lin Yue Ling acknowledged formally. "Why do you care about how I'm doing now?,"she asked.

Lin Yaoha scoffed and arrogantly said,"Such a brat, you eventually turned out like your ugly mother." Since yesterday she was in a bad mood since her daughter made them lose connections with the Song Family. With all her problems Yue Ling just had to show up all of a sudden and add to it.

"Whether or not my mother is poor, I turned out better than you and everybody else," Yue Ling calmly spoke.

Wang Changli was smiling but the smile didn't reach her eyes. This granddaughter was ill mannered and nothing like Lin Meilin.

The lawyer who was aside spoke," My client is here to discuss this,"she handed an envelope to Wang Changli.

The contents of the envelope left their faces pale.

Yue Ling had legally processed documents to claim her inheritance and even filed restraining orders against Lin Yaoha. Lin Yaoha had recently found out that Yi Shuyan was a University professor so she went there to cause trouble,she threatened her and when she couldn't win, she decided to have her fired. It was unfortunate that none of it worked.

"You don't deserve anything from our family, you aren't part of the family,"an annoying voice spoke. Lin Qinqing was aside hearing the conversation between her so called cousin who'd left long ago and her family members. She didn't like the way things were going. Her and her mother were waiting for the opportunity to take the shares and now the owners showed up to claim them.

"We'll let the law decide who's family," Yue Ling said

Wang Changli hit her staff against the table and said," Yue Ling, how can you involve outsiders into family members."

The calm facade she'd been putting up was gone,it was now time to use all means. She had this thought that Yi Shuyan might not be ordinary but it was never proven. It was just that Yi Shuyan had something about her that wasn't common,she also didn't know many chores when she married into the family but she had many rare talents. She dismissed all those thoughts because Yi Shuyan married into the family with nothing. Some people were just talented at faking.

"My mother is my only family, this is about our shares right,"she asked.

Wang Changli: How about your mother,had she ever treated us like family? When she was here she caused our family to divide because of such a trivial matter,she didn't take pity to Meilin who had no family left. She even left with you and divorced her husband, as a family member she didn't even come to your grandfather's burial. She said all this at the verge of crying, "apparently" she was sad.

Yi Shuyan had dedicated everything to them since she had no one else but Yue Ling's father, his family was now her whether or not they were good or bad. Back then it was Wang Changli who caused the division when her late husband was around. She didn't appreciate him siding with Yi Shuyan.

Lin Yaoha raised her hand to slap Yue Ling, she had no good reason to hate the mother or daughter but it was just that Yi Shuyan appeared at the wrong time in her life. She was pregnant then for her "supposed" rich husband who never married her. All her life she was incompetent and was compared with her younger brother, when Yi Shuyan came,she was now compared to her sister-in-law.

Lin Yue Ling was quick to hold her wrist and twist it.

Lin Yaoha was surprised because she wasn't small. She was a huge lady and her wrists were thick but a tiny hand had twisted her wrist to the point where it hurt.

A lovely voice suddenly said,"Sister, don't fight our family." The speaker was the pitiful saint, Lin Meilin.
