Chapter 4 - Severance agreement

"You're overly kind for your own good lad." Old madam Yun caressed Yun Chun's head and sighed tenderly. "Nonetheless, you should consider whether or not the person to whom you are showing your kindness is worthy."

"Exactly, this Lin Chang has not only taken your place and lived the life that should belong to yours, but she has also made things difficult for you in school," Fen Hua sneered as he scowled at Lin Chang.

"That's because She likes you, Brother Hua. I've tried several times to convince Lin Chang that we have a pure relationship, but alas..." Yun Chun exhaled helplessly. "Lin Chang, you've been living with my parents for 18 years and have taken over my love for my parents; as a result, we are now considered sisters; on that account can you not make things difficult for me any longer? If you like, I can also keep my distance from Brother Hua," Yun Chun replied and looked pitifully at Fen Hua.

"That's not right, Chun. What I care about is our friendship, not whether she likes me or not. I don't care what she thinks of us, but I'm not going to let you stay away from me for someone like her." Fen Hua sneered and gave Yun Chun a sad face, like a cat attempting to show remorse to its master.

"I completely agree with Young Master Fen, you cannot compel someone to be with you; sentiments develop on their own. Unlike Lin Chang, who only knows how to act willfully and throw tantrums here and there, our Chun is a pure soul, who wouldn't want to be with my Chun" Su Fang stated as she continued to cast hateful glares at Lin Chang.

Serene, who was discreetly observing the entire family drama, was absolutely stunned because she never expected to be a villain in someone else's love story so soon after her rebirth.

Serene felt sorry for Lin Chang even more when she saw Su Fang's venomous glare, because Su Fang used to urge Lin Chang to make Fen Hua fall for her at any cost. She was filled with the thoughts of her marriage to Fen Hua from the moment she was born by the Yun Family. As a result, marrying Fen Hua became her sole motivation.

Fen Hua's family was one of the top four families in Qingdao's Business Chamber, and they had considerable influence in the capital. Having little power in the Capital is an important factor for business families from tiny places like Qingdao for marrying their daughter, and the Yun Family is no exception.

Lin Chang has always viewed Fen Hua in a different manner, seeing him as her life partner and all the girls surrounding him as her forever foe. Fen Hua, on the other hand, has always despised her; his contempt for her was apparent to everyone in the city, and this was the main reason Lin Chang was a snack time talk for all the upper circle ladies in Qingdao.

"There is no need to worry, Yun Chun. I assure you, I am perfectly fine. Being sister with me, will not necessarily gratify your ego. Let us part ways and refrain from further interfering with each other's lives. Old master Yun and old lady Yun, I am truly grateful for the love and care you have shown me throughout the years. However, I no longer wish to burden you any further. While I appreciate Yun Chun's kindness, I also have a duty to fulfill towards my own mother", she bowed Infront of The old couple and looked at her foster parents and continued, "I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Yun for being wonderful parents throughout my life. Despite my occasional stubbornness, you have always loved and cared for me unconditionally. Now, I kindly request that you extend the same love and care to your biological daughter. Please know, Mr. Yun, that I will never use the Yun family name in a negative way. My only wish is for us to part ways amicably and peacefully"

Lin Chang concluded her speech and prepared to depart from Yun Family house when she was confronted by the authoritative voice of Old Master Yun. "Hold on, young lady," he exclaimed firmly. "I am aware of your intentions. You seek to depart now with the purpose of later asserting your claim to the inheritance of the illustrious Yun Family, correct?"

"what?" Su Fang yelled out in alarm, glaring at Lin Chang; if looks could kill, she'd be 6 feet beneath the ground by now. "How dare you, Wild girl, you have already stolen my Chun's position in the Yun Family for so many years, and now you want to steal her inheritance as well?" "I dare you, Lin Chang," she said, scowling.

"Mama, it's not true. I've known Lin Chang for a long time and I don't think she would do that. Maybe she's just afraid to leave the rich and luxurious life of the Yun family. After all, who in their right mind would willingly abandon the grandeur of Castel to dwell in the obscurity? Can we please not make things hard for Lin Chang and listen to her explanation?" Yun Chun cried, pretending to be upset.

"Chun, my dear please stop showing her mercy, she is not worthy" Old lady Yun sneered.

"If you wish to sever ties with the Yun Y Family, then that is acceptable. However, you will be required to sign these documents," stated Yun Yize, as he gestured towards his butler with a nod. The butler promptly exited the dining room and returned with the necessary paperwork, which he respectfully presented to Yun Yize. After receiving the documents, Yun Yize placed them and a pen on the table and asked Lin Chang sign them.

Lin Chang's mind was a jumbled mess as she tried to make sense of the situation. Her thoughts were a blur, and she couldn't recall any memories that would explain what was happening. As she approached the table, her eyes fell upon a document with the words "severance agreement" scrawled across the top. In a flash, everything became clear to her, and she absorbed the contents of the five-page document within a second.

Wait what?

How is that possible?

With a mere glance, she absorbed the contents of the documents before her, as if they were etched into her mind. Every clause, every line, every word - all imprinted in her head with an eerie precision. It was as if she had authored the documents herself. But why was everything so jumbled up? Ever since her rebirth, she had sensed that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Her hands instinctively reached for her head, massaging it in confusion. This newfound ability was both exhilarating and perplexing. Was it a result of Dr. Lopez's experiment?
