CHAPTER 839: CHAPTER 750: DISLOCATED LIVES 38

Unexpectedly, the initial news was quite pleasing to Fang Zhijin, because Bai Xiaofang Zhan was not enthusiastic about Shuangshuang, evidently with little affection. The grandparents even directly avoided seeing her, clearly not welcoming this granddaughter, and Fang Shaosheng, this younger brother, despite her always being good to him, directly gave Shuangshuang a tough time.

But before she could be happy for long, the subsequent developments completely surpassed Fang Zhijin’s expectations. She thought Shuangshuang would surely want to integrate into the Fang Family just as she wanted to integrate into the Wen Family.

After all, in her memory, Shuangshuang always hoped to gain the Fang Family’s approval, and for this, she had made countless efforts and changed herself significantly.

However, in this lifetime, Shuangshuang refused to endure any slight grievances. Just because she was a little coldly treated and given a hard time at the entrance, she left the Fang Family straight away, leaving behind half a million! This was completely out of her control, throwing Fang Zhijin’s heart into chaos.

Fang Zhijin reconfirmed that this Shuangshuang, like herself, was reborn. She knew that in her previous life, Shuangshuang was not so outstanding at this point, and once Shuangshuang left the Fang Family, where else could she go, surely to stay at one of the Wen family’s outside properties.

The Wen Family was big and wealthy, having several properties was too normal, not to mention that Jianyun and Liu Yun were always thinking of Shuangshuang, afraid she wouldn’t get a share of the inheritance. It wouldn’t be surprising if they gave her a few properties before she left.

Fang Zhijin felt her thoughts were surely correct; otherwise, even if Shuangshuang had money, she was not yet eighteen, without an ID, she couldn’t stay in a hotel. No matter how much money she had, she couldn’t buy property outside, so where could she live after leaving the Fang Family?

Unless Jianyun and Liu Yun had given her properties early on, it wouldn’t make sense otherwise, and thinking of this made Fang Zhijin furious. She was the biological daughter of the Wen Family, there were no other children, so all the Wen Family’s money should be hers.

Fang Zhijin felt that Shuangshuang had unfairly assumed her identity, enjoying sixteen years of good life that she didn’t deserve, yet still wanted to take her money! It was utterly shameless and greedy, she must make her parents see through her true face, and sever ties with such a shameless woman completely.

Fang Zhijin was venting her anger at home when Jianyun and Liu Yun walked in with smiling faces, talking and laughing as they came in, looking in high spirits.

Fang Zhijin immediately greeted them with a gentle smile; this was a smile she had been accustomed to in her past life, but unfortunately, this kind of smile made Jianyun and Liu Yun particularly uncomfortable.

Because they were too familiar with such a formulaic smile, Liu Yun herself used it when dealing with clients at work. Seeing their daughter use this smile towards them, how could it make them feel comfortable?

Fang Zhijin had just been reborn shortly and hadn’t yet grasped the pulse of the Wen Family parents. In Shuangshuang’s previous life, Fang Zhijin had secretly observed the Wen Family for several years, learning Jianyun and Liu Yun’s personalities, waiting for her identity to be naturally exposed before returning to the Wen Family.

At that time, Fang Zhijin already knew how to interact with Jianyun and Liu Yun, so she quickly won their genuine affection. Though even then, Jianyun and Liu Yun still thought of Shuangshuang as they do now, they genuinely felt their biological daughter was just as excellent.

However, in this life, Fang Zhijin was disturbed by Shuangshuang’s excellence and unorthodox behavior that deviated from her memories, prematurely and hastily planning her return to the Wen Family without proper observation.

Previously, she insisted on finding her biological parents and rushed into the Wen Family, focused solely on pleasing Jianyun and Liu Yun, showing no feelings of longing for her adoptive parents. These all made Jianyun and Liu Yun uncomfortable.

After knowing they had a biological daughter, they investigated the Fang Family to see if their daughter had been wronged, but the investigation showed that the Fang Family really did their best to love this daughter.

Though life at the Fang Family couldn’t compare to their own, within the same family situation, Fang Zhijin undoubtedly lived the best life, even better treated than their son. Such pampering, and yet after leaving, she didn’t miss them, how could that not be chilling?

Especially comparing today’s thoughtful Shuangshuang, worrying about their health and making lunch just after moving out. There was no need to please them; Shuangshuang’s current worth was no less than theirs. There was no need to curry favor. Besides, they understood their daughter well; Shuangshuang was inherently a filial child.

The comparison resulted in Jianyun and Liu Yun feeling unable to get close to their biological daughter no matter what. If she could abandon parents who cherished her so much without any longing, how sincere could she be towards them, her biological parents she hadn’t met in over ten years?

Even the way Fang Zhijin tried to please them seemed too fake, especially this kind of insincerity directed at her biological parents, who should be met with honesty. How could they possibly feel close to Fang Zhijin? It just left them feeling stifled.

Fang Zhijin was unaware that Jianyun and Liu Yun were already secretly disappointed in her and continued smiling, speaking warmly, "Dad, Mom, why are you back so late? Is the company too busy? Have you had dinner? I’ve already asked the maid to prepare the meal and made some soup. It’s said that soups are the most nourishing, perfect for evenings, and eating lightly at night is healthier. Dad, Mom, come over and have some."

Jianyun and Liu Yun had already eaten about enough, so they naturally weren’t hungry. However, they had previously considered that Fang Zhijin was at home, and if she was waiting for them to come back and eat together, they couldn’t possibly let her eat alone.

Doing so might make Fang Zhijin feel uncomfortable, and eating together as a family is a way to strengthen bonds, so they intentionally left some room, planning to come back and eat with Fang Zhijin.

They didn’t say much at the time, just nodded and went to the dining room, talking to Fang Zhijin a bit along the way, mainly asking about her school life and the like, which was usually the topic of conversation when they were with Shuangshuang.

Fang Zhijin also shared some fun stories from school and attentively poured soup for Jianyun and Liu Yun while giving some advice, making the atmosphere harmonious for a while.

After a few bites, Fang Zhijin spoke with a worried expression to Jianyun and Liu Yun: "Dad, Mom, today when I called my adoptive father, he mentioned that Shuangshuang didn’t stay at their home and moved out. I thought Shuangshuang might not be accustomed to living at my adoptive parents’ house, as it’s really not spacious. It’s normal for her to feel uncomfortable. But she’s not that old and moved out just like that, I’m a bit worried about where she’s staying. Do you want to have someone find her?"
