CHAPTER 831: CHAPTER 732: DISLOCATED LIVES 30

No matter how well Fang Family parents treated her, their daughter had occupied her identity, enjoying eighteen years of a life that should have been hers. So, Fang Zhijin felt that the Fang Family owed her, from Fang Zhan to Bai Xiao, because their daughter had invaded her identity. And then there was Wen Shuangshuang, who not only stole her identity but also took her parents’ hearts.

Since being recognized back to the Wen Family, Fang Zhijin never returned to the Fang Family. At the same time, she hoped that she and Wen Shuangshuang would never have any interactions again, and that Wen Shuangshuang would never return to the Fang Family.

However, the parents of the Wen Family always favored Wen Shuangshuang, their adopted daughter, while being dissatisfied with her, their biological daughter, in every way. They enrolled her in a heap of extracurricular classes, focusing on both academics and etiquette.

Fang Zhijin felt that the Wen Family parents were just missing their genius adopted daughter Wen Shuangshuang, wanting to mold her into Wen Shuangshuang. Despite being their biological child, they were indifferent to her and only liked that cuckoo in the magpie’s nest adopted daughter, which made Fang Zhijin particularly uncomfortable.

What made Fang Zhijin even more resentful was that Wen Shuangshuang, after leaving the Wen Family and not taking the Wen Family’s money, did not suffer. Although the Fang Family was well-off, it couldn’t compare with the living conditions of the Wen Family. Fang Zhijin, after living a few months in the Wen Family, could no longer return to her previous life.

Fang Zhijin just could not believe that Wen Shuangshuang could endure the Fang Family’s living environment, and yet, Wen Shuangshuang really did endure it. She skipped grades to enter university, then joined a research institute, becoming a scientist whose research achievements were worth millions. She lacked neither money nor fame, and her boyfriend, a descendant of three generations of the military, was handsome with a strong background and unlimited prospects.

In contrast, she returned to the Wen Family but was not valued by her parents, living a busy life, learning this and that, while having to deal with a bunch of people who looked down on her, and never enjoying the life of the wealthy.

Her biological parents were dissatisfied with her, and her adoptive parents, because of their biological daughter’s brilliance, gradually shifted their attention back to their biological daughter, eager to maintain a good relationship with their daughter, the great scientist, forgetting their once-cherished adopted daughter.

Fang Zhijin never suffered much in her life, spending money without running out, and although her husband was not intimate, he was not unfaithful. In many people’s eyes, Fang Zhijin’s life was happy, but she herself was in pain. Her life was filled with too much unwillingness, and all this unwillingness was related to Wen Shuangshuang.

Therefore, after being reborn, Fang Zhijin’s first decision was to take back everything that Wen Shuangshuang had stolen from her.

In her previous life, she was actually a little princess in front of her adoptive parents. Although the Fang Family could not compare with the Wen Family, they were not lacking in money. Fang Zhijin also lived in the Fang Family without a finger dipped in the spring water.

And this life, Fang Zhijin was determined to be a diligent, well-rounded daughter, ensuring that Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao would never forget their adopted daughter and would never accept that Wen Shuangshuang.

She even specifically strategized to enter the school where Wen Shuangshuang’s future boyfriend, Zhu Shihao, studied, employing all means to captivate Zhu Shihao ahead of time, making him infatuated with her, thus snatching Wen Shuangshuang’s excellent boyfriend away.

Fang Zhijin was even prepared for how, after swapping identities with Wen Shuangshuang, to make Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun, the parents who could not forget their adopted daughter, give up on Wen Shuangshuang.

Thus, it can be said that someone like Fang Zhijin would never be satisfied. She resented being unable to compare with Wen Shuangshuang in the hearts of Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun. But in Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao’s hearts, how could Wen Shuangshuang compare to Fang Zhijin?

Although there was a blood relationship, eighteen years of wholehearted love and upbringing couldn’t be replaced by just a blood relationship by a biological daughter who was practically a stranger. Therefore, it was normal for both sets of parents to prefer their adopted daughters; the only difference was that one set of parents was wealthy and the other was not.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun enrolled Fang Zhijin in countless extracurricular classes, all of which Wen Shuangshuang had once taken. Entering that circle, these were things everyone had to learn, otherwise, they would be despised and rejected by others.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun didn’t aim to mold Fang Zhijin into Wen Shuangshuang; they hoped that after entering this circle, Fang Zhijin wouldn’t be rejected or looked down upon by others—it was entirely for their daughter Fang Zhijin’s good.

Fang Zhijin always thought that the life of the wealthy should be about enjoyment, spending money, eating, drinking, and having fun, not about hardship and busyness. Yet, in reality, if it weren’t for hardship and busyness, how would the wealthy become wealthy?

Could one just inherit a heap of money and do nothing? Eventually, the money would be spent on luxurious enjoyment, and then what would one do when the money ran out?

Fang Zhijin thought she had stolen in this life what would have been a chance change of heart from Wen Shuangshuang’s future parents and her outstanding boyfriend, yet did not expect that this life’s Wen Shuangshuang was even more dazzling.

She had just played that game. Not knowing the game’s developer was Wen Shuangshuang, Fang Zhijin was deeply attracted to the game, filled with amazement and admiration for the person who created such a game.

But after discovering that the game’s creator was Wen Shuangshuang, all the amazement and admiration turned into resentment and jealousy. Fang Zhijin’s greatest wish after being reborn was to trample Wen Shuangshuang underfoot; how could she accept that her opponent was even more brilliant than in her previous life?

Zhu Shihao was unaware of Fang Zhijin’s thoughts, and by her side, he continuously praised how amazing Wen Shuangshuang was, filled with admiration and subtle worship in his words. The more Fang Zhijin listened, the more upset she became, and the greater the resentful energy in her heart grew.

She even worried about whether Zhu Shihao was falling for Wen Shuangshuang, considering in her previous life, Zhu Shihao was particularly fond of Wen Shuangshuang, chasing after her for several years before managing to win her over. Once he did, he was very devoted, an infamously loyal and loving husband in their circle.

Listening to Zhu Shihao’s continuous praise of Wen Shuangshuang, Fang Zhijin finally couldn’t maintain her gentle and harmonious facade. She smiled, and with an innocent tone, said to Zhu Shihao, "Shihao, you think she’s amazing, but what that male reporter just said isn’t entirely unreasonable.

Wen Shuangshuang is only so young, the same age as us, right? That she could create such an impressive game software is truly incredible. I’ve heard that Wen Shuangshuang’s parents are wealthy. Do you think she might have had a team make it and then claimed the accomplishment for herself, telling outsiders that she developed the game on her own?"

This statement from Fang Zhijin was so different from her previously gentle and accommodating persona that Zhu Shihao was stunned for a moment, looking at Fang Zhijin in a somewhat peculiar way. Although he thought Fang Zhijin was a very kind-hearted person, he still felt that Fang Zhijin seemed to really dislike Wen Shuangshuang and was purposely smearing her. Usually kind in speech, suddenly making such pointed remarks, made Zhu Shihao somewhat suspect something was off with Fang Zhijin.
