Chapter 25: Lin Qianqian heads to the Ye Family but is intercepted

Lin Qianqian's face looked worse than having eaten a fly.

Lin Meng frowned; why hasn't she left yet?

Since being discovered, Lin Mengye had nothing to hide.

She fixed her cold gaze on Lin Qianqian, her smile not reaching her eyes.

「Cousin? Still not leaving? Is your marriage prospect not going well? 」

Lin Qianqian gritted her teeth and shouted low:

「Lin Meng, how do you have 500,000? They said you had no money, didn't they? 」

500,000 is no small sum; the dowry her parents prepared for her is only this amount!

Lin Qianqian trembled with anger; she wouldn't allow Lin Meng to have more money than her!

Lin Meng spoke calmly:

「How can I not have 500,000? I set up a memorial tablet for Grandfather; any objection? 」

Lin Qianqian couldn't hear any hidden meaning in Lin Meng's words; her expression was twisted to the extreme.

「Did you inform my parents about this? You're overstepping elders—what's your intention? 」

Lin Meng laughed.

「It's ridiculous—you haven't even swept Grandfather's grave, so what right do you have to question me? Your lack of filial piety is your own business; do you really think you can stop me from showing filial respect to Grandfather? Are you spending your family's money? 」

「How? You think this money shouldn't be spent on the deceased grandfather, waiting for my uncles to scheme? 」

Upon hearing, Lin Qianqian's anger intensified; she instinctively wanted to shout, but suddenly noticed people's gazes were off.

「Cousin sisters, hearing this, it's the younger cousin setting up a memorial tablet for Grandfather—does the older cousin not like it? 」

「Hehe, interesting—comparing filial piety, one is heaven, one earth; perhaps they think the younger cousin's action slaps them in the face, fearing gossip. 」

「Perhaps the relatives are eyeing this 500,000…」

Lin Qianqian, seeing she'd become the target, had to flee first.

Before becoming a wealthy family's lady, there must be no mistake.

As she left, Lin Qianqian glared hatefully at Lin Meng; Lin Meng coldly dismissed it.

「Benefactor, when a family is discordant, the more one cares about these kin, the more easily hurt. 」

The old monk couldn't stand it; he intentionally gave advice to Lin Meng.

Lin Meng said with a smile:

「Thank you, venerable monk, for the guidance; I understand the principle—I won't be bound by so-called family ties. 」

「Nonsense—what kind of family tie is this? 」

Even if they had once shown her half a sincerity, she wouldn't go to extremes.

Indeed, these relatives never gave her a good look.

It was like that in childhood, and even more so when she grew up.

From childhood, Lin Meng never received any lucky money from them—only endless gossip.

Parents originally gave lucky money to younger relatives during holidays.

Later, gradually realizing the uncles were excessive, they stopped giving.

In short, Lin Meng never received any care from them; discussing family ties? Not slapping them both would be good.

Lin Qianqian angrily left Ling Qing Si, immediately called Lin Jianyang, and recounted the entire encounter with Lin Meng.

That night, Lin Jianyang gathered several siblings to discuss.

——

Grandfather's memorial tablet was finally set up; when leaving, the supervisor still wanted Lin Meng to set up a longevity tablet for herself, but Lin Meng refused.

She had confidence she could live well and get past the obstacles.

At night, grandfather appeared before Lin Meng with a red glow.

Still the same dilapidated house, still the same patched clothes, but no longer destitute.

「Good granddaughter, grandfather knows you've set up his memorial tablet—didn't you spend a lot of money? 」

「Don't worry, child; grandfather will bless you underground; the children of our old Lin family will surely have smooth sailing, thriving! 」

「Remember, once you get the item, always keep it on you; later you'll understand. 」

「Remember, once you get the item, always keep it on you; later you'll understand. 」

The old man sold a big secret, then disappeared.

Waiting for Lin Meng to wake up, recalling last night's dream, her face fluctuated between good and bad.

The old man said, the children of our old Lin family will surely have good days—but definitely don't count the uncles!

She just needs to live her life prosperously……

Then, the phone rang.

After Lin Meng answered the call, she immediately washed up and left.

Today it's overcast and rainy; heaven isn't beautiful.

Lin Qianqian dressed splendidly heading to the Ye Family.

The Ye Family's ancestral residence is on the mid-slope of Tian Yun Mountain in Jing Shi; said this mountain has excellent feng shui, each villa developed there is priceless.

The half-mountain peak where the Ye Family resides is the most scenic spot; the whole mountain top belongs to them.

The ride-hailing car Lin Qianqian was in slowly stopped at the mountain foot; ahead were several guard posts, with trained property security guarding all around.

「Why not leave? Keep going forward. 」

Lin Qianqian now appeared somewhat nervous, sitting in the back seat constantly rubbing sweat in her palms.

The driver, however, curled his lips and said:

"Miss, this place is the richest mountain in all of Jing Shi; the whole mountain is private property, outsiders are not allowed—you must be a resident here or have an invitation to enter."

Lin Qianqian was stunned, then said:

"Just drive ahead; I'm an invited guest—can you really stop me?"

Her confidence lasted only a few seconds before Lin Qianqian was quickly proven wrong.

"Ye Family? We haven't received any news of Ye Family visitors here—hurry up and leave."

Lin Qianqian raised her voice in anger: "Are you sure you want to offend me? I'm an honored guest invited by the Ye Family!"

The guard laughed.

"We've seen plenty of people like you—those who only want to climb the social ladder, willing to use any excuse just to see a Ye Family member, but your threatening tactic is the lowest; hurry up and get out of the way!"

The guard's contemptuous attitude made Lin Qianqian feel an unprecedented humiliation.

Just then, the driver couldn't stand it either.

If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have taken the job; this woman is clearly just trying to bluff her way through.

But the guards here strictly block outside vehicles, making it impossible to be let through.

"Why don't you just get out of the car? I have another job coming up and need to leave quickly—settle the fare and get out!"

"What are you yelling about? You haven't even taken me to my destination—why should I pay?"

The driver wished he could violently beat Lin Qianqian.

"Can you even get in? And you're still talking about being an honored guest—I think you've lost your mind, you don't even know your own weight!"

The tall, burly driver grabbed Lin Qianqian and pulled her out of the car, didn't even want the money, turned around and drove off.

Icy rain instantly slammed onto Lin Qianqian.

Her brand-new dress, worn only for a day, got speckled with rain, making her heart ache; her beautiful makeup was ruined, and Lin Qianqian wanted to scream on the spot.

Lin Meng stepped out of the hotel and was immediately picked up by the Ye Family's steward.

Exactly, after seeing Lin Qianqian make contact with Ye Family members on the surveillance last time, she had an idea and timed her meeting with Ye Family steward Liu Bo, who was about to board a flight from Yun Cheng.

She directly revealed her identity and showed the deed to the old master's ancestral residence to him.

The Ye Family naturally already knew that Lin Qianqian was impersonating the mistress of the old residence.

The luxury car drove to the mountain's base, and Lin Meng instantly saw Lin Qianqian soaked to the skin, roaring in the rain.

"Huh, cousin, what are you doing here?"
