Chapter 642: True and False Heiress 35
Yuan Chun thought she would have to waste a lot of breath to persuade Lin Jiaojiao to agree to save Grandpa Cao.
Unexpectedly, the food hadn’t even arrived when she just opened her mouth, Lin Jiaojiao agreed with a nod, "The Lin family is wealthy and powerful, and I don’t lack anything. You don’t need to do anything for me."
"Yuan Chun, I have taken on the identity of the Lin family’s daughter for more than twenty years, living a prosperous and extravagant life, while you endured hardships in the countryside for eighteen years. I owe you."
"Though you sent my biological parents to the police, I believe they deserved it. They did wrong and must face the consequences."
"I can’t blame their actions on you. You did the right thing."
"Yuan Chun, once I’ve saved your Grandpa Cao, we’ll be even." Lin Jiaojiao told her earnestly.
Yuan Chun nodded, "Alright, we’ll be even."
Then, the two young women exchanged smiles.
But once Lin Jiaojiao learned who her Grandpa Cao was, no matter how composed her expression was, she couldn’t help being surprised.
"Yuan Chun, I didn’t expect you’d be so lucky to marry into a prestigious family like the Cao Family, just with the identity of an uneducated country bumpkin."
Having grown up in Beijing and being the eldest daughter of the Lin family in high society, Lin Jiaojiao had naturally heard of the Cao Family, such an aristocratic and wealthy family.
However, the Cao Family had only two surviving members, the grandfather and grandson. Grandpa Cao was in poor health and had to deal with national affairs, leaving him with no time to attend any event.
Cao Shaowu was also dedicated to the police force, even working overtime on weekends. He never attended those parties held by young gentlemen and ladies in high society.
Thus, not many in the upper circles knew the young master of the Cao Family, Cao Shaowu.
Only some family friends who interacted with the Cao Family, or some close relatives, knew his true identity.
While both the Cao and Lin families belonged to high society, the Lin family was merely merchants. In the eyes of true aristocratic and wealthy families, the Lin family was just a nouveau riche.
The Cao Family was the real aristocratic elite.
Something the Lin family could only dream of achieving.
Therefore, upon knowing that Yuan Chun’s in-laws were the Cao Family, Lin Jiaojiao felt somewhat jealous. She always thought that although she wasn’t the Lin family’s biological daughter, she was raised as an esteemed lady of high education at great expense by the Lin family. Her true status should be far above Yuan Chun, the country bumpkin.
Yet now, Yuan Chun instantly elevated her status through marriage, easily leaving Lin Jiaojiao beneath her.
Lin Jiaojiao couldn’t help but express to 178, "The protagonist is the protagonist, indeed favored by the Heavenly Dao, blessed with such good fortune."
"Host, you’ve lived better than Yuan Chun in this life. You have wealth, power, beauty, sweetness, a house, a car. You have it all, and your education surpasses Yuan Chun’s. Yuan Chun, a country bumpkin, marries into a noble family, appearing grand, but what her life is really like behind the scenes, only she knows."
Lin Jiaojiao suddenly laughed, "True, for an illiterate country bumpkin marrying into a noble family, can there be any good days? Surely, the in-laws would look down on her. Even a big celebrity marrying into a noble family would still be looked down upon by the in-laws."
"Host, the surgery time has come. You should go in now." 178 reminded her.
"Alright, prepare the medical chamber. If anything happens during the surgery, put Mr. Cao in the medical chamber immediately. He absolutely cannot die on my watch. Otherwise, ten of me wouldn’t be enough to be executed."
