291: Lin Xuan is actually a reborn person? And I... am the legendary girl of destiny!

Evening, the sun setting.

Inside the woodshed.

Chu Ling, with a nervous heart, pressed the play button on the old tape recorder.

The next second, a familiar voice entered her ears...

"Honey, I think that dead girl seems a little different."

"She not only dared to hit me just now, but also told me to my face that I'm not her biological mother."

..."Impossible! That dead girl couldn't possibly know, absolutely impossible!!!"

"We did that thing so secretly back then! And to reduce the chance of exposure, for the past eighteen years, we haven't even dared to contact our biological daughter."

"Besides the two of us, no third person could possibly know! I am 95% absolutely certain, absolutely impossible!!!"

..."Honey! Do you think that dead girl might have overheard our conversation?"

"How could that be?! Every time we talked about that incident from back then... we always chose to do it late at night, or when that little hussy wasn't home. She couldn't have overheard."

..."I think you're overthinking it. That dead girl probably just said it casually..."

"Otherwise, she would have run away long ago! How could she still be living in this house for over a decade? Looking for abuse?"

"That little hussy has stomach cancer, and under the pressure of death, she's already paranoid. Plus, normal parents wouldn't act like us, so it's normal for her to have doubts..."

..."Hmph! That little bastard almost scared me to death?!"

"She even dared to hit me before?! Just wait until I beat her to death later!"

..."Hmm, that dead girl really deserves a beating! If you hadn't stopped me last night, I definitely would have had a good time!"

"Sigh, wasn't I afraid you'd actually beat her to death? The old village chief... did you forget?"

..."That dead girl won't live long, so instead of that, it's better to get some money."

"If she's tormented to death by the village chief later, then we'll have even less to worry about! After all, we already wish she'd die, don't we?"

"Forget it, for now, let's not touch that dead girl. With her sickly appearance, if we really beat her to death, it would be troublesome, and we'd also lose 10,000 yuan..."

..."Wife, eighteen years ago, you were so clever to swap the two children when you had the chance. That's how we had this opportunity to cross social classes."

"Needless to say... our daughter is extremely doted on in the Tang Family now! After Chu Ling, that little hussy, dies, we can also start trying to contact Xiao Rou and live a life of extravagance. Hahaha..."

...When the recording ended, Chu Ling, who knew all the truth, was already in tears.

So... she really wasn't the child of Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong!!!

This tragedy of swapped lives was secretly a man-made conspiracy. No wonder those two had no parental affection for her and hated her so much since she was little.

Now they even want to sell her to a 60-year-old man for a bride price, and even curse her to die quickly... The reason for all this is that they're worried she'll affect their biological daughter's prosperity and wealth?!

But all of that was originally hers!!!

"Tang Family..."

Chu Ling murmured to herself, and through the few pieces of information revealed in the recording, she roughly knew that her biological parents were from the Tang Family, and they were either rich or powerful.

As for the "Fake Heiress" who replaced her... she was now enjoying prosperity and wealth in the Tang Family, receiving all kinds of doting from her parents and relatives, while she could only eke out a living in the village... Unforgivable!!!!!

Recalling her tragic experiences over the years, Chu Ling, who now knew the truth, gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with burning rage.

Revenge! She wanted revenge!

As long as she found an opportunity, she would definitely take revenge!!!

Chu Ling's face was flushed with anger, her breathing was rapid, and her chest heaved violently.

Under the influence of her anger, she clutched her stomach, in unbearable pain, and coughed continuously.

"Cough cough..."

Two and a half minutes later, Chu Ling, having recovered, wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

Then she stumbled to the pigsty, endured the stench, reached her hand into the thick straw mat, and skillfully pulled out a wooden box.

When opened, it contained over a dozen hundred-yuan bills, all of Chu Ling's savings secretly accumulated over the past decade.

"1500 yuan, enough for me to leave Chu Family Village!"

"It's a pity the sun has already set, so I can't buy a ticket to leave the village. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning..."

"I can't reveal anything during this time, otherwise those two devils will absolutely not let me leave."

"..."

If she had a choice... Chu Ling really didn't want to stay in this devil's home for another moment.

She just wanted to quickly return to the Demon Capital, to her biological parents, and expose Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong's " The Substitute Prince" (a scheme of substituting one thing for another) conspiracy to the public.

However, glancing at the gradually darkening sky, Chu Ling ultimately, with reluctance, picked up the wooden box and returned to the woodshed.

After locking the door, she finally lay back on the bed to rest with peace of mind, and pulled out a business card from her pocket—the one Lin Xuan gave her at the hospital... She had actually thought about calling him for help, but Chu Xiong never spent a penny on her, let alone bought her a cell phone.

So, an embarrassing situation occurred... having a phone number was useless!!!

She could only wait until she returned to the Demon Capital tomorrow to find a way to contact him.

"That person might really be my cousin..."

"It's just strange... he seems to have foresight, knowing about future events. Could it be..."

"He and I both have superpowers, it's just that I have [Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts], and he has [Foreseeing the Future]?"

"..."

After everything that happened today, Chu Ling now firmly believed the content of Lin Xuan's inner thoughts.

At the same time, she regarded him as her greatest reliance for the future.

No choice... Chu Ling discovered that her superpower [Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts] only worked in front of Lin Xuan, but couldn't be activated in front of other people?!

She calmed down, recalled everything that had happened in the past two days, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her mind.

"Could it be that Cousin is a reborn person, just like in those reborn urban novels I've read?"

"Is that why he can foresee the future, the legendary child of destiny? The protagonist?"

"No! I can eavesdrop on his inner thoughts, so *I* should be the child of destiny!"

"And Cousin is my golden finger, the reliance for slapping the Fake Heiress in the face and reaching the pinnacle of life in the future!!!"

"..."

The more Chu Ling thought about it, the more sense it made, and the brighter the strange light in her eyes became.

Especially when she recalled some novels about true and Fake Heiress she had read... without exception... all of them depicted the true Qianjin returning to a wealthy family, only to be unloved by her father and mother, including the seven Overbearing CEO brothers... all of them doted exclusively on the green tea Fake Heiress, conspiring together to persecute the true Qianjin.

At this thought, Chu Ling couldn't help but swallow, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

She felt that some of the plots in the novels seemed very similar to her own experiences. Could it be that she would also... Fortunately, she had a golden finger!!!

If she was the protagonist, Lin Xuan was her golden finger.

So she must find a way to stay by Lin Xuan's side and eavesdrop on his inner thoughts.

That's right, she was the legendary... child of destiny!!!

...Late at night, the moon and stars were sparse.

The entire Chu Family Village was asleep in silence and darkness.

Outside the woodshed, a very faint sound of footsteps could be heard.

The footsteps were very, very soft, almost negligible compared to the sound of pigs snoring from the pigsty.

But Chu Ling, who had been too excited to sleep all night after realizing she was a "protagonist" with a golden finger, immediately noticed it.

She subconsciously turned her eyes to the window.

She didn't know until she looked, and what she saw shocked her!!!

She saw the upper body silhouette of a human figure standing quietly outside the window... Who???

Who was that?!!!!!!

In the middle of the night, was that a person??? Or...

In the dark woodshed.

Chu Ling's body trembled uncontrollably, her heart pounding with fear, as if it would jump out of her throat the next second.

She tightly closed her eyes, clutching the quilt covering her, doing her best to suppress her breathing, desperately trying to use her hearing to perceive the movement outside.

Quiet~~~

After some unknown time, Chu Ling, slightly calmer, took a deep breath, cautiously opened a slit of her eyes, and looked towards the window again.

The next moment, her breathing hitched.

Still in that position... the shadow hadn't left at all!!!

It was still clinging to the window, staring intently at her through the window crack... Chu Ling could even feel a greedy and evil gaze constantly scrutinizing her.

"Ah ah ah ah w(ﾟДﾟ)w!!!!!"

Finally, Chu Ling couldn't suppress her fear and screamed in terror.

Her scream also seemed to startle the shadow outside, which let out an angry curse of "Fuck."

Hmm???

As soon as the familiar curse sounded, Chu Ling's terror instantly froze on her face, because she recognized... it was Chu Xiong's voice!!!

Realizing that the person outside was not a "ghost," the fear on Chu Ling's face instantly disappeared, replaced by anger and lingering dread!!!

Now that she knew about Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong's conspiracy, all she felt for them was resentment.

If she hadn't been worried about exposing that she knew the truth and being unable to leave, she would have directly confronted them and fiercely cursed this malicious couple...

Thump thump thump!

At this moment, the woodshed door was knocked, and Chu Xiong's drunken voice came through the door.

"Girl, it's me! There's something I want to tell you, open the door! *Hiccup*~~"

Hearing the sound of hiccups coming from outside, Chu Ling shivered. She suddenly remembered the inner thoughts she had overheard from Lin Xuan... [First, she was defiled by her drunken adoptive father, and then sold by him to a 60-year-old village chief to be his wife.]

Thinking of this, how could Chu Ling dare to open the door in the middle of the night???

What made her even more terrified was... had Chu Xiong also made similar peeping acts before?!

It was just that she hadn't discovered it at the time???

No matter what, after getting through tonight safely, she must leave Chu Family Village tomorrow... Chu Ling's face was cold as she tried to send Chu Xiong away.

"Dad! It's too late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"No, this is very important! I must tell you in person now!"

"But I'm not convenient right now! I... my stomach hurts, I need to have diarrhea now..."

"It's okay! I'll wait for you to finish, then open the door for me!"

"..."

Seeing Chu Xiong's persistent harassment, Chu Ling's face completely fell.

But she knew that door absolutely could not be opened, otherwise the content of Lin Xuan's inner thoughts... might really come true... Fortunately, she glanced at the slightly pale sky; it was about to get light.

As long as it was past midnight, Chu Xiong probably wouldn't dare to harbor such blatant wicked thoughts anymore... To buy time, Chu Ling got out of bed and sat down on the chamber pot beside the bed.

Two and a half minutes later, Chu Xiong's voice came from outside the woodshed again.

"Are you done?"

"No!"

"..."

Time passed by, minute by minute, another two and a half minutes passed, the door was knocked, and Chu Xiong's voice came into the room again.

Only this time, there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Are you done or not? Why does it take so long to take a shit?"

"Uh... I'm constipated."

"What? Didn't you just say you had diarrhea?"

"Uh, I just had diarrhea, and now I'm constipated again..."

"..."

Chu Ling began to talk nonsense with a straight face, trying to buy as much time as possible.

At this moment, Chu Xiong obviously also realized something was wrong. He quietly came to the window and peered intently through the crack.

Sure enough, the expected sight of a bare butt didn't appear... Chu Ling was sitting on the chamber pot, fully dressed.

"Didn't you say you were shitting?"

"Yes!"

"Shitting my ass! Who the hell shits without taking off their pants???"

"Uh... I like to shit in my pants, it's warm, and it gives me a feeling of freedom and wildness."

"..."

Facing Chu Xiong's sinister questioning, Chu Ling tried her best to remain calm, spouting nonsense.

"You're full of shit!!!"

"Dead girl, I order you! Open the door for me immediately!!!"

Even Chu Xiong, as foolish as he was, knew he was being fooled. He threatened her angrily outside the door.

Seeing that Chu Ling still made no move, emboldened by alcohol, he directly started to ram the door.

"Dead girl, open the door at once! Hurry, or don't blame me for being impolite!!!"

Outside, Chu Xiong shouted while ramming the door.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

The dilapidated woodshed door could not withstand such forceful impacts, shaking continuously, as if it could be smashed at any moment!!!!!
