Lin Ya cleaned up the dishes, cut some fruit, and accompanied Granny Zhu in the living room to watch TV.
Granny Zhu’s favorite program was the eight o’clock news channel’s documentary series, which were all about family ethics and drama. Unfortunately, none of the Zhus liked to watch it with her. The new girl Lin Ya, however, seemed to enjoy it very much. She would massage Granny Zhu’s shoulders and pour her tea, even more caring than a biological granddaughter.
Granny Zhu held her hand: “Dear child, you’re a good girl. I heard about your situation from your aunt. From now on, you can think of the Zhu family as your own home and feel at ease.”
With tears in her eyes, Lin Ya said, “Granny Zhu, you’re so good to me. I’ve always envied others who had their own grannies, and now at last, I have one too. Don’t worry; I will take good care of you.”
Lin Ya embraced Granny Zhu.
Granny Zhu was also touched. Zhu Xiangxiang was a thankless ingrate, Zhu Shaodan was a scoundrel, and Ming Jing was too cold to show intimacy. In Lin Ya, she finally got to enjoy some family happiness. Thinking about how this girl was now an orphan, she felt even more pity.
After the show, Lin Ya tidied up the living room, helped Granny Zhu to her bedroom, before heading upstairs to her guest room.
Li Juan was making the bed for her, and Lin Ya walked over to help.
“Sister Juan, thank you for taking care of me.”
Li Juan felt a little embarrassed; this young lady was really nice to talk to. If she was pretending, she had a deep mind. In a short time, the whole Zhu family was full of praise for her.
Except for Zhu Xiangxiang, of course.
“You get some rest; I’m right next door if you need anything.” Li Juan left after making the bed.
Lin Ya went into the bathroom to wash up, and her phone in her pocket suddenly “dinged.”
Brushing her teeth, Lin Ya checked her phone.
A Wen: Xiao Ya, where are you? How come you didn’t come back to the dorm tonight? Did something happen to you?
Lin Ya replied: I’m at my aunt’s house, and I’ll be staying here for a few days. Don’t worry.
A Wen: Shocked expression! When did you get an aunt? I’ve never heard you mention her before.
Lin Ya’s eyes sparkled like scattered stars in a gentle galaxy: There’s no need to mention it. I’m just here to visit my aunt’s house for Granny Zhu’s birthday.
A Wen: Oh, by the way, I have to tell you, since you weren’t at school today, you missed a good show. Hu Guo’er had to read an apology letter on the school radio station, haha! It was so embarrassing! I heard Professor Hu was so angry that he had a heart attack and is now in the hospital. It’s a pity you didn’t hear it firsthand.
Lin Ya’s lips curved: I hope she learns her lesson.
Was it possible? Of course not.
Professor Hu sacrificing his pawn to save his chariot, so the love of family was worth nothing compared to his own interests.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Ya went to open it.
“Cousin, what’s the matter? Why are you looking for me so late?”
Zhu Xiangxiang pushed the door open and walked in, then shut the door behind her.
“Lin Ya, what’s your purpose in coming to my house?”
“Cousin, what are you talking about? Of course, I’m here to see my aunt.”
“You can fool my mother, but not me. I advise you to leave my house as soon as possible; otherwise, things will get ugly, and you’ll only have yourself to blame.”
“Oh? It seems my cousin is feeling guilty. Are you afraid I’ll expose what happened back then, or are you afraid I’ll… take revenge?”
“You…!” Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said, “You’d better know your place.”
“You should know your place, right? This is Ming Jing’s house, not yours. You’ve become so spoiled that even the Great Wall is not as thick as your skin.” Lin Ya flicked her hair, her expression gentle but with a hint of disdain.
Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly laughed, “In that case, just you watch. Not only Ming Jing, but I’ll also make sure you and your cousin roll out of the Zhu family.”
Lin Ya stared at Zhu Xiangxiang’s retreating figure, eyes narrowed.
She seemed to have something to rely on?
Back in her room, Zhu Xiangxiang grabbed a flower vase and threw it to the ground, “Why do all people have to be against me? Lin Ya, I’ll never let you go.”
Sucking in a deep breath, a dark and sinister smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Xiangxiang’s face.
“It’s all your fault, Lin Ya.”

Lin Ya remembered the first time she came to the Zhus with her father. There was a delicate little girl, dressed like a princess from the TV shows.
She was extremely envious, and her aunt told her the little girl’s name was Xiangxiang, and she was her cousin.
“Cousin, can I touch your dress?”
