Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 74 It Turns Out She Is Not Biological

Lin Kunhuai stared in disbelief at this daughter he had never bothered to look at properly, feeling that she had changed.

Cheng Rouyin also felt that the Lin Banxia standing before her was no longer as foolish as before. Her personality seemed stronger, her tone more calm and composed. It seemed they could no longer underestimate her in the future.

Lin Shiyi continued her merciless sneering, "Lin Banxia, did water get into your brain? Ten billion within half a month? Are you planning to rob a bank? Let me warn you, don't drag us down into a bigger mess because of you."

Lin Banxia, however, didn't bother arguing with them. Even though the burden she carried was almost unbearable, she absolutely refused to sit and resign herself to fate.

Even if it took her entire life, even if she offered up her very soul to secure the peace of the pear garden, she would do it willingly.

She could never forget the words her grandfather had said as he held her hand on his deathbed.

The pear garden was Grandma's most beloved treasure, and he hoped she could preserve it well.

In her previous life, blinded by love, she had lost both the pear garden and her romance.

Wasn't the chance to start over that heaven granted her meant to allow her to make wiser, better choices?

She no longer cared about right or wrong; she only sought a clear conscience.

"Dad, Mom, why aren't you scolding her anymore? You actually believe that nonsense she spouted? If you ask me, there's no way she can pull it off. She's nothing but a useless mess. Other than that disastrous, unfinished affair with Huo Qinglin, what else does she even have to show for herself?" Lin Shiyi grew even angrier as she watched Lin Banxia calmly walk upstairs. Unable to hold back, she immediately hit her when she was down.

"Fine, give her one day. If she can't manage to gather ten billion, she must exchange it for the pear garden's land deed. Otherwise, I'll see to it that she's thrown out of this house." Lin Kunhuai, now completely disheartened and irritable, responded sharply.

Lin Shiyi pouted, looking toward her mother in frustration, "Mom, I'm only stating facts. Why won't Dad believe me, though?"

"Just stop saying so much. That girl won't stir up any storms. Let's just wait to see what kind of joke she makes of herself." Cheng Rouyin pacified her daughter with these words before following her husband upstairs.

In the bedroom.

Cheng Rouyin couldn't wait to say, "Honey, earlier you almost spilled that little brat's real background."

"If she doesn't show the slightest gratitude, I'll reveal the truth to her. Let her understand that she doesn't even count as part of the Lin Family. How dare she still cling to the pear garden?" Lin Kunhuai let out a cold snort.

Cheng Rouyin furrowed her brows slightly, "I think, after raising her all these years, letting her go so easily means we'll lose out. That's not acceptable. She's beautiful, and maybe she can find herself a good husband. Don't bring up the truth in front of her anymore. If she grows wary and breaks free, we'll take a significant loss."

Lin Kunhuai thought it over carefully and realized she had a point. "Alright, unless absolutely necessary, I won't mention it again."

Lin Banxia lay on her bed, crying quietly for a long time.

The cold indifference and ruthlessness of her family made her desperately want to move away from this house and never stay for another second.

She couldn't help but yearn for life in the pear garden when her grandparents were still alive—carefree and unrestrained, filled with mutual respect and love.

But sadly, those golden days would never come again in this lifetime.

Why didn't heaven pity her and rebirth her into her childhood, where she could meet her mother, grandparents, and all of them again?

Lin Banxia drifted into sleep, her mind hazy. And in her dreams, she found herself in the midst of those happy times again, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes as she slept.

The next morning, someone knocked on her room door. Lin Banxia groggily got up, opened the door, and was abruptly startled when something sticky suddenly attached to her arm.

"Ah..." Her scream, sharp and piercing, echoed as she realized it was a caterpillar clinging to her. It was the loudest scream she had ever let out.

"Haha! Success!" A ten-year-old boy gleefully made a victory gesture, laughed heartily a few times, then ran downstairs in escape.

Lin Banxia frantically swatted the insect off onto the floor. Watching its writhing movements, she was overwhelmed by a wave of nausea.

That wretched little brat had pulled another prank on her—she had absolutely had enough of him.
