The Fake Daughter is a Max-Level Green Tea [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Lin Chumu’s Secret

The rain outside continued to fall.

The Rolls-Royce gradually disappeared from view, moving out of Jiang Yang’s sight, but Lu Chaoqing’s action of throwing away the umbrella just now replayed repeatedly in his mind, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Chaoqing had suddenly gotten out of the car to throw the umbrella away after getting in. This made Jiang Yang suspect that it came from Lin Chumu’s instruction. After all, the atmosphere when the two were eating was quite pleasant, and based on his self-perception, it was absolutely impossible for Lu Chaoqing to feel any dissatisfaction or disgust towards him. The only possibility left was Lin Chumu.

He was fuming.

If he had entertained any unrealistic fantasies about Lin Chumu before, Jiang Yang had now completely dismissed that notion. He was arrogant and high-minded, looking down even on a naive rich girl like Lu Chaoqing, let alone Lin Chumu, who clearly despised him. From then on, that woman was directly blacklisted in his heart. She was just a distant relative; what was the big deal?

The man’s face darkened, his gaze towards the trash can burning with fire. After a moment, he extinguished the barely-lit cigarette he hadn’t taken a puff from and turned to drive away.

Meanwhile, Lu Chaoqing, sitting in Lin Chumu’s car, gave a hard sneeze.

“Caught a cold?” Lin Chumu casually turned up the air conditioning. “What did you expect, suddenly going out in the rain to throw away garbage.”

“It’s not garbage, it’s something from Sister’s fiancé. Sister is the real daughter of Mom and Dad,” the girl beside her turned her head firmly to look at her, water droplets that hadn’t been dried clinging to her thick eyelashes, fluttering and glistening. “The engagement back then was supposed to be between Jiang Yang and Sister. I won’t snatch anything that belongs to Sister, whether it’s a person or anything else.”

She won’t snatch anything that belongs to her?

Lin Chumu curled her lips but didn’t give her any reaction.

The highest level of green tea is probably that even though you can tell it’s standard manipulative talk, you can’t help but believe it a little.

Perhaps Lu Chaoqing’s simple statement successfully improved Lin Chumu’s mood slightly. The latter didn’t dig into why the two had suddenly gone out for a private meal together. Instead, when Lu Chaoqing requested to be sent back to the company, Lin Chumu directly refused, instead taking her to a small apartment first.

The Lu family had many properties, but this apartment was clearly not given to Lin Chumu by the Lu family; it was her private property. This made Lu Chaoqing even more curious about her “sister’s” identity before she returned home.

Unlike most real daughters in “true vs. fake rich daughter” plots who are extremely down and out in the early stages, Lin Chumu’s inherent noble aura made it clear that she was extraordinary. However, she had never revealed what exactly she did, and their parents hadn’t been very clear either.

Lin Chumu skillfully flipped on the night light, exposing the entire clean and bright residence to Lu Chaoqing’s eyes.

“Take a shower here before going back to the dorm. This place is too far from the dorm. If you catch a cold, you won’t be able to rush to tomorrow’s schedule.”

Although it was a definite statement rather than a suggestion, Lu Chaoqing didn’t object. Like a puppy commanded by its owner, she nodded her rain-dampened head and obediently grabbed a new towel before heading into the bathroom.

Lin Chumu watched her from behind without malice for a long time. It wasn’t until she heard the sound of rushing water that she slowly closed her eyes and fell into contemplation.

To be honest… this little green tea was quite different from the information she had received.

“Frivolous,” “arrogant,” and “haughty” were her first impressions of the girl when she read the book.

The Lu family had previously sponsored a charity organization. Lu Chaoqing had been invited to attend a news interview with the sponsored teenagers. On the surface, everything was harmonious, but privately, many complained that the rich daughter was too fond of putting on airs. She was even indiscriminate about genders and people, attempting to flirt with a boy who grew up in the charity organization. After being rejected, she flew into a rage and sent people to severely beat him up, confining him to bed for half a month.

But all these incidents were suppressed by Lu Chaoqing’s people and never even reached her parents. There were countless other incidents. Although they were all resolved one by one, Lu Chaoqing would later escalate her behavior. Bullying teammates was child’s play for her, and she even caused one teammate to jump off a building.

Thinking of all the absurdities in the original book, Lin Chumu’s first impression of Lu Chaoqing at the time dropped directly to freezing point.

She decided to subtly encourage the fake rich daughter, who would inevitably reveal her true colors, and reclaim the status that rightfully belonged to her.

The first step was to elevate her to a high status, giving her the best resources a trainee could get. Based on Lu Chaoqing’s personality, she should have immediately given up practicing and indulged in her special privileges. Under those circumstances, it would be easy for Lin Chumu to find evidence of Lu Chaoqing’s dark side and deliver a fatal blow, preventing her from having any chance to survive later.

But the little green tea was not the little green tea she had imagined.

When she transmigrated, this body was only ten years old. She didn’t have a system, and she only knew that this world was a tedious spin-off from a novel she had read. Lin Chumu’s memory had always been excellent, and she was certain she hadn’t misremembered the low-intelligence supporting character in the book.

The Lu Chaoqing in the book had indeed used her cute and harmless appearance to deceive person after person. Finally, when Lu Mama tearfully questioned her why she had done all this right before her imprisonment, she finally exposed the demonic side hidden beneath her pure facade. She stepped forward, violently grabbed Lu Mama’s collar, and spat on her. When the furious Lu Papa knocked her to the ground, she fiercely cursed: “You should ask yourself why you raised two children at home! You always said I was your only one, and now you suddenly bring in someone I don’t even know. What do you mean by that!?”

“Xu Zhiyun, before you criticize me, have you ever considered if you are even qualified to be a mother!”

The moments of reduced intelligence in the book made it difficult for her to associate that character with the current sweet and soft little green tea. No matter how good someone’s acting was, it wouldn’t be this natural. Although the visible attempts to please her were quite heavy in the other person’s words and actions, it didn’t significantly lower Lin Chumu’s favorable impression.

However, transmigrating wouldn’t change her nearly 24 years of sexual orientation. Even though she became the female lead in this romance novel, Lin Chumu had no intention of dating that opportunist man.

Thinking of how Jiang Yang clung to Lu Chaoqing today and wouldn’t let go, she felt a sudden wave of nausea in her stomach.
