TWO FACES OF THE SAME SIN

Wei Ling POV

(Scheming adopted sister of theLin family)

In my past life, after pushing Jiejie—Xiaomei—off the tall building, I thought everything would finally belong to me.

But things didn’t go exactly as planned.

I was supposed to be married off to a sixty-year-old man as well. However, with my Oscar-winning acting, I managed to exclude myself from that fate. I cried, fainted, acted pitiful—until everyone believed I was the real victim.

One of my loyal simps, GeGe Haotian, turned away to make a call. I was already preparing my next performance when exhaustion finally caught up with me. My legs gave out.

I slipped.

And fell from the same window Xiaomei had fallen from.

Death was instant.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day my parents divorced.

Aba stood in front of us, his face tired and aged, asking us who we wanted to follow. My heart leapt—I immediately wanted to choose Aba. The Lin family still had status, connections… hope.

But before I could speak, Jiejie spoke first.

“I’ll follow Ama,” she said calmly. “To the Gu family.”

Shock slammed into me.

She’s reborn too.

But I quickly calmed myself. That didn’t make sense. In our past life, the Gu family had gone bankrupt. Xiaomei had suffered miserably after following Ama. Why would she choose that path again?

Unless…

I brushed the thought away.

If she’s reborn, she must be stupid.

Let her suffer like I did. In my past life, after I followed Ama to the Gu family, they never truly acknowledged me. They went bankrupt and abandoned us, leaving us miserable.

And yet… the Lin family, who were once on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly rose again and surpassed all the elites in the social circle.

This time, I would stay.

This time, I would win.

After the divorce papers were signed, Ama and Xiaomei left the house together.

I lowered my head, hiding the smile tugging at my lips.

GeGe Haotian POV

( First son of the Lin family)

My parents’ divorce shattered the Lin family.

After everything was finalized, Aba asked us to choose who we would follow. I didn’t expect Xiaomei to answer so decisively.

“I’ll follow Ama,” she said, without hesitation.

Wei Ling tugged on my sleeve, her eyes red.

“GeGe… isn’t Jiejie too cruel?” she whispered. “Aba and you are on the verge of bankruptcy, and she still chooses to leave at a time like this.”

I gently stroked her hair.

“This,” I said calmly, “is the kind of meimei our family truly needs.”

Xiaomei scoffed, leaning back in her chair as if none of this mattered.

Something inside me snapped.

I stood up and slapped her hard, calling her vain, shameless, ungrateful, a betrayer—every insult I could think of. For a brief second, guilt flickered in my chest.

But it vanished just as quickly.

She deserved it.

Xiaomei should have been grateful. She had been switched at birth, found when she was five, and brought back to the Lin family. For over sixteen years, she had lived under our roof. She had never lacked food, clothes, or education.

She was one of us.

And yet, she chose to abandon us at our lowest point.

Even when she framed Wei Ling in the past, we never truly chased her out. We never betrayed her first.

But now?

She betrayed the Lin family.

I clenched my fists as Ama signed the divorce papers and left with her.

The more I thought about it, the more I resented Xiaomei.
