Chapter 414

Evening, the sun setting.

In the woodshed.

Chu Ling, with a heart full of trepidation, pressed the play button on the old tape recorder.

The next second, a familiar voice entered her ears.

"Dear, I feel like that dead girl is a bit different."

"Not only did she dare to hit me just now, she even said to my face that I'm not her biological mother."

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

"We were so secretive about that matter back then! To reduce the chance of exposure, we haven't even dared to contact our own biological daughter for eighteen years."

"Besides the two of us, there's no way a third person could know! I am 95% absolutely certain, it's impossible!!!"

"Dear! Do you think that dead girl could have overheard our conversation?"

"How could she?! Every time we talked about that matter back then... we chose the dead of night, or when that little bitch wasn't home. She couldn't have overheard."

"I think you're overthinking it; that dead girl probably just said it off the cuff..."

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

"That little bitch has stomach cancer; under the pressure of death, she's naturally 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 earlier?! Just wait until I beat her to death later!"

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

"Hey, wasn't I just afraid you'd actually beat her to death? The old village chief... have you forgotten?"

"That dead girl won't live long. Instead of that, it's better to trade her for some money."

"If she gets worn out by the village chief later, that'll save us even more trouble! After all, we've been dying for her to die anyway, right?"

"Forget it, let's not touch that dead girl for now. In her sickly state, if we really beat her to death, it would be a hassle, and we'd lose 10,000 yuan..."

"Wife, eighteen years ago, it was your wit that seized the chance to swap the two children, and that's how we got the possibility of crossing class lines."

"That goes without saying... our daughter is extremely favored in the Tang family now! After that little bitch Chu Ling dies, we can also start trying to contact Xiao Rou and live a life of luxury. Hahaha..."

When the recording finished playing, Chu Ling, knowing the whole truth, was already bathed in tears.

So... she really wasn't the child of the Chu Xiong couple!!!

This tragedy of a swapped life was actually a man-made conspiracy; no wonder those two had no affection for her and had loathed her like this since she was small.

Now they even wanted to sell her to a 60-year-old man for a dowry, and even cursed her to die quickly...

The reason? It was actually because they were worried she would affect their biological daughter’s wealth and status?!

But all of that was originally hers!!!

"Tang family..."

Chu Ling murmured to herself. Through the bits of information revealed in the recording, she generally knew her biological parents were from the Tang family, and they were wealthy and powerful.

As for that "fake daughter" who replaced her...

She was enjoying wealth and glory in the Tang family right now, receiving all the pampering from parents and relatives, while she could only struggle to survive in the village...

Unforgivable!!!!!

Recalling the tragic experiences of these years, Chu Ling, knowing the truth, gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with raging fire.

Revenge! She wanted revenge!

As long as she found an opportunity, she must have revenge!!!

Chu Ling was so angry her face was flushed, her breathing rapid, her chest heaving violently.

Under the influence of her anger, she clutched her stomach in unbearable pain, coughing incessantly.

"Cough, cough..."

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

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

Then she staggered into the pigsty, braving the stench, reached into the thick straw mat, and skillfully pulled out a wooden box.

After opening it, there were over a dozen hundred-yuan bills inside, all the savings Chu Ling had secretly accumulated over the last dozen years.

"1,500 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 out of the village; I have to wait until tomorrow morning..."

"I can't give myself away during this time, otherwise those two demons will never let me leave."

"........"

If she had a choice...

Chu Ling really didn't want to stay in this house of demons for even a second longer.

She just wanted to return to the Magic City quickly, return to her biological parents' side, and expose the "swapping the cat for the prince" conspiracy of the Chu Xiong couple to the public.

However, looking at the darkening sky, Chu Ling finally hugged the wooden box in frustration and returned to the woodshed.

After locking the bolt, she finally lay back on the bed to rest and took a business card out of her pocket; it was the one Lin Xuan had given her at the hospital...

She hadn't not thought about calling him for help, but Chu Xiong never wanted to spend a penny on her, let alone buy her a mobile phone.

So the awkward thing happened... having the phone number was useless without a phone!!!

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

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

"But it's strange... he seems to know the future, as if he had foresight. Could it be..."

"Does he have superpowers like me, only mine is [Eavesdropping on Inner Voices] and his is [Predicting the Future]?"

"..........."

Having experienced all of today's events, Chu Ling now believed in the content of Lin Xuan’s inner voice without a doubt.

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

There was no help for it...

Chu Ling discovered that her superpower, [Eavesdropping on Inner Voices], only worked in front of Lin Xuan; it couldn't be activated in front of anyone else at all?!

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

"Could it be that my cousin is a reborn person, just like the urban rebirth novels I've read?"

"That's why he can predict the future? A legendary Son of Destiny? The protagonist?"

"No! I can eavesdrop on his inner voice, so I must be the Child of Luck!"

"And my cousin is my golden finger, my reliance for slapping the fake daughter in the face and reaching the peak of life in the future!!!"

"..........."

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

Especially when she recalled some novels about real and fake daughters she had read...

Without exception... they were all about the real daughter returning to the wealthy family, only to be unloved by her father and mother, including seven domineering CEO brothers...

All of them doted on the green-tea fake daughter and joined forces to persecute the real daughter.

Thinking of this, Chu Ling couldn't help but swallow, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

She felt that some of the plot points in the novels seemed very similar to her own encounters; could it be that she would also...

Fortunately, she had a golden finger!!!

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

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

That's right, she was the legendary... Daughter of Luck!!!

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

The entire Chu Family Village was sleeping in dead silence and darkness.

Outside the woodshed, a very light sound of footsteps rang out.

These footsteps were very, very small; compared to the snoring of the pigs coming from the pigsty, they were almost negligible.

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

She subconsciously turned her eyes to the window.

She didn't know until she looked, and she was terrified when she did!!!

She saw a human-shaped shadow of an upper body standing quietly outside the window...

Who???

Who is that?!!!!!!!!!!

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

In the dark woodshed.

Chu Ling’s body couldn't stop trembling, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her throat the next second.

She closed her eyes tightly, clutching the quilt covering her, trying her best to lower her breathing, desperately mobilizing her hearing to sense the movement outside.

Quiet~~~

I don't know how much time passed, but Chu Ling, having calmed down a little, took a deep breath, secretly opened her eyes a crack, and looked toward the window again.

The next moment, her breathing hitched.

It was still that position... the shadow hadn't left at all!!!

It was still crouching at the window, staring at her fixedly through the gap...

Chu Ling could even sense a greedy and evil gaze constantly scanning her back and forth.

"Ahhhhhh w(?Д?)w!!!!!"

Finally, Chu Ling couldn't hold back her fear and screamed.

And her scream seemed to have startled the shadow outside, which let out a curse of "Fuck."

Huh???

As soon as the familiar cursing sounded, Chu Ling’s terror froze on her face, because she recognized...

That was Chu Xiong’s voice!!!

Realizing the person outside wasn't a "ghost," the fear on Chu Ling’s face instantly vanished, replaced by anger and lingering fear!!!

Now that she knew the Chu Xiong couple’s conspiracy, she only had resentment left for these two.

If she wasn't worried about exposing that she knew the truth and being unable to leave, she would have wanted to confront them directly and curse this vicious couple...

Knock, knock, knock!

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

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

Listening to the hiccuping sound from outside, Chu Ling trembled all over; she suddenly remembered the inner voice she had eavesdropped on from Lin Xuan...
