Outside the bedroom door, Lin Ran quietly listened to their heartfelt conversation. Her whole body ached, as if she had been thrown into a meat grinder and crushed to pieces.

Lin Ran is Liang Mulan's real flesh and blood, but as long as Lin Nuan is here, she will be treated as a child she picked up from the street?!

Liang Mulan knew very well that Lin Ran liked Gu Shaoting. Actually, she has already told Liang Mulan herself!

She wholeheartedly believed that if the Lin family wanted to marry into the Gu family, the daughter of the Lin family was suitable. After she began to have feelings for Gu Shaoting, Lin Ran naturally regarded herself as her fiancée. And... Liang Muran gave Lin Nuan what should have belonged to her - engagement? !

Why?

Lin Ran's fingers curled with boiling anger.

She turned and walked away quickly. However, when she reached the top of the stairs, she suddenly stopped and stood still.

Why let her go? She belongs to the Lin family! She was not intimidated by Lin Nuan. So which universe must she leave within her own territory?

Lin Nuan finally calmed Liang Mulan down. She told her that the man she was going to marry was waiting outside, and her only agenda today was to take him home to meet her. Liang Mulan finally stopped crying...

Liang Mulan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief that was already wet. She frowned and said in frustration, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Look at my shabby makeup, how the hell am I looking now?

Lin Nuan smiled lightly. "No matter what, you're still beautiful."

The mother and daughter seem to have returned to their old intimacy. This is the first time Lin Nuan has said something flattering and playful to Liang Mulan after leaving home.

The guest has arrived at the door. It's best not to let Fu Huai'an wait outside.

Liang Mulan didn't ask about her fiancé again. She urged Lin Nuan to invite him in.

Lin Nuan came out of the room and saw Lin Ran standing nearby with his arms crossed, as if waiting for her.

"Lin Nuan, oh, wait... This is not right. Should I call you, Lu Nuan? Lin Ran said mockingly, his tone cold and sarcastic.

Lin Nuan actually understood her feelings. In Lin Ran's eyes, Lin Nuan was just a thief who stole the life that had always belonged to her.

Lin Ran always felt that if the Lin family raised her, she would definitely be better than Lin Nuan - instead of being ridiculed behind her back as a hillbilly from nowhere.

The two glanced at each other, and Lin Nuan's gaze softened a lot and calmed a lot.

Lin Nuan felt very sorry for Lin Ran. She said: "My ID card is still in the Lin family. I'm back today just to get it back so I can get my marriage license. If you don't want to see me again, I'll never come back.

Lin Ran clenched his fists. At that moment, her nerves tensed, and her body trembled slightly and asked, "...... your marriage certificate?" With whom? Gu Shaoting?

Lin Nuan shook his head and said apologetically: "I always want to apologize to you." I stole twenty years of your life.

Lin Nuan's voice was crisp, sincere, and soft. These words made Lin Ran stunned on the spot.

She probably didn't expect Lin Nuan to apologize, because it wasn't her fault at all.

Fault... and Lin Nuan's biological parents lied.

Lin Ran cleared his throat, approached Lin Nuan steadily, and said in a low voice: "Since you feel sorry, you know...... You have stolen a life that did not belong to you for so many years, so please stay away from my home...... and my family. Especially my mother.

Lin Ran was trying to assert her power here, but her eyes were still watery in the end. She was basically a child and was afraid that her family would be snatched away.

She was never a naturally cunning or manipulative person. Saying such harsh words can only expose her inner uneasiness.

Lin Nuan felt a piercing pain from the bottom of his heart. In order to avoid complicating things between Liang Mulan and her biological daughter, she nodded.

"Very good..."Lin Nuan solemnly agreed to Lin Ran. After I get that certificate, I will cut off all contact with the Lin family forever. ”

It's as simple as that?

Lin Ran's heart trembled silently.

She didn't expect Lin Nuan to agree so easily.

It stands to reason that a dynasty like the Lin family should be a dynasty that Lin Nuan never wants to leave. In fact, she should have taken any chance her mother had to stay.

Lin Ran even regarded Lin Nuan's departure as a long-term strategy. She retreated in order to advance.

"What game do you want to play right now?" Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Nuan defensively.

Without waiting for Lin Nuan's response, Lin Ran looked at Lin Nuan as if he had suddenly had a big understanding, "So you really want to marry Lin Chen!" Do you want to go back to the Lin family like this? Oh, Lin Nuan... After living with Lin Chen as a brother and sister for twenty years, you actually came up with such an indecent idea......"

"Lin Ran!"

A deep voice shouted from behind Lin Ran.

An indecent idea...

It insulted Liang Mulan and Lin Chen, not just Lin Nuan.

Lin Ran stiffened up before looking back at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's tall figure stood by the stairs, his hands in his trouser pockets, covering his slender legs. He looked at Lin Ran, with a piercing coldness and suppressed anger in his eyes, his presence was completely intimidating.

"No matter when and where, Lin Nuan will always be a member of this family. No one can change that.

Lin Chen's majestic existence made Lin Ran a little afraid. That was the first time she had seen Lin Chen have such a grim expression on his face. She bit her lip and didn't dare look back.

"My fiancé is still outside. I'll go and invite him in first.

Lin Nuan said matter-of-factly, went downstairs, and passed by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stood there and watched Lin Nuan's figure disappear downstairs. The blood vessels on his clenched fist began to burst, and he fixed his gaze on Lin Ran.

"You are a member of this family, but Lin Nuan is also ......" Lin Chen said in a heavy tone: "I think, parents just want to see the two of you get along like sisters."

"I-"

"Even if you can't, there's no need to be so cruel."

Lin Chen didn't even give Lin Ran a chance to answer.

Lin Ran stood there completely speechless, his face without color. She has always respected her eldest brother Lin Chen, but she is also a little afraid.

And hearing his harsh feedback, Lin Ran couldn't help but shed tears.

"If this family didn't want to welcome me, you shouldn't have let me come back in the first place!" Lin Ran ran back to his room crying and slammed the door shut.

Liang Mulan heard the commotion and walked out of her room. She saw Lin Chen standing at the top of the stairs and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Baby Ran is losing his temper with me......" Lin Chen replied blankly.

Liang Mulan knew that it was because Lin Nuan was back.

"Baby Chen, Ran Ran..."

"Mother, you don't have to explain, I understand," Lin Chen interrupted her and glanced at her watch, "I have to go."
