After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 17
Chapter 17
After being nearly exposed by Ruan Yu on that day, Wen Yun, in order to survive, seized every opportunity to raise her profile in front of Ruan Yu, diligently offering meticulous care and attention (flattery).
Even though Ruan Yu didn’t say anything explicitly and never questioned her, Wen Yun knew perfectly well that her disguise was hanging by a thin thread!
She really couldn’t figure out why Ruan Yu could so quickly accept the bizarre event of “Wen Yun’s soul being replaced,” and why her attitude toward her changed so rapidly.
Logically speaking, the original owner was the person who had hurt her, the culprit who had cornered her step by step, leading to her desperate suicide. She was practically her mortal enemy. After being reborn and finding her mortal enemy’s personality drastically changed and being so overly caring, shouldn’t Ruan Yu suspect if the other party was faking it again?
After all, in the initial stages of the original novel, the original owner was indeed the only person in the Wen family who was kind to Ruan Yu. It was precisely because of this that the original owner was able to deceive the naive Ruan Yu and lead her step by step into the trap she had set.
Wen Yun was completely baffled and spent several days thinking about this problem. Now, hearing Ruan Yu’s slightly unhappy tone, she felt inexplicably more relaxed. She looked up and smiled at her: “That’s fine. The point is, you must dare to say it.”
Since only the Senior 3 students were reporting to school today, they didn’t encounter morning rush hour when they set off. The car drove smoothly all the way to the gate of Langying Academy.
Ruan Yu took out her student card, got out of the car with Wen Yun, and after swiping her card to enter the campus, she deliberately walked side-by-side with Wen Yun. They occasionally saw students carrying revision materials and moving tables and chairs for the teachers, shuttling between the academic and administrative buildings.
Class Nine’s classroom was on the first floor. It was reached by crossing a trellis covered in purple wisteria and then walking through an indoor corridor, meaning they didn’t even have to climb stairs.
As they neared the classroom, Wen Yun deliberately sped up and walked in front of Ruan Yu. She glanced inside, felt the students were mostly assembled, and quickly said to the System: “Prepare to use “Bling Bling Charmer Effect” on Ruan Yu.”
So, the moment Ruan Yu stepped through the classroom’s front door, she sensed all eyes instantly fixated on her.
Because of her experiences in her past life, she didn’t find this strange. She even calmly looked toward the classmates who had once isolated and gossiped about her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, she heard several students excitedly start screaming.
“Aaaahhhh!!”
“Look at me, look at me!”
“I love you so much!!! I’m going crazy!!”
“Wuwu, she’s so cute!”
Accompanied by wave after wave of screams, many students even began frantically waving their hands, their movements extremely exaggerated, exactly like fervent fans cheering for their idol.
Ruan Yu: ???
She was bewildered by the sudden change. When she recovered, she had already been led by the hand to her seat, and her ears were still ringing.
Wen Yun was also almost paralyzed by awkwardness. She hadn’t expected the effect of this mass charm item to be this strong.
Fortunately, the charm effect only lasted for five seconds. By the time she led Ruan Yu to her seat, the surrounding screams had gradually died down, and the entire classroom quickly fell into a dead silence.
It was obvious that the students who had just been affected by the charm were now questioning reality.
Aside from Lin Qiqi, no one in the class had met Ruan Yu in person. After the effect wore off, the students who were part of the “Sneaky Observation Squad” group chat and had seen messages about the transfer student realized who they had just fawned over.
Soon, in a group chat Wen Yun and Ruan Yu didn’t know about, anonymous wails started to fill the screen.
“[Anonymous] Holy sh*t, I made a total fool of myself!!”
“[Anonymous] Is the transfer student perhaps a witch! Why did it feel like the whole class went crazy just now?!”
“[Anonymous] Was there anyone normal in our class just now?”
“[Anonymous] …Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember, Wen Yun didn’t react?”
“[Anonymous] Shivering, this is terrifying to think about!”
“[Anonymous] What are you imagining? Have you been watching too many dramas or reading too many novels?”
…
Ruan Yu’s desk was newly moved from the warehouse and was covered in dust. Wen Yun put her school bag down at her own seat, pulled the original owner’s pink rag out of her drawer, and on her way, picked up the water basin from under the blackboard at the back of the classroom to fill it in the restroom.
She had just turned on the faucet and hadn’t collected much water when she saw Ruan Yu arrive beside her, also holding a rag, but her school bag was gone.
“Where did you put your school bag?” Wen Yun couldn’t help but ask.
“On the desk in front of me,” Ruan Yu answered. “She said she wouldn’t be using her desk for a while and could watch it for me.”
Wen Yun thought about it but couldn’t recall who her front deskmate was. She casually replied, “That’s good then.”
“Did you do that just now?” Ruan Yu suddenly asked.
Wen Yun: ??!
“What are you talking about?” She tried to feign ignorance.
“The magic that suddenly made the whole class go crazy,” Ruan Yu looked at her, her voice soft but certain. “You cast it, didn’t you?”
She had never seen such an abnormal reaction from the class in her previous life. Moreover, she was certain the screams and cheers were directed at her.
Wen Yun was silent for a few seconds, then deliberately showed a look of indifference: “And so what?”
Since her disguise was already precarious, and the System only forbade her from actively admitting she was a transmigrator, she didn’t mind having the protagonist view her with an extra layer of mystery.
People subconsciously fear the unknown, and this was a small means of survival.
Ruan Yu only smiled, looked down at the water basin, and gently reminded her, “The water is about to overflow.”
Wen Yun quickly turned off the faucet, feeling her heart almost jump out of her chest from nervousness.
After bringing the water basin back to the classroom, Wen Yun remembered Ruan Yu’s words and deliberately looked at her front deskmate, frowning slightly.
It was Su Manying, the academically brilliant supporting character in the original novel who was the only one in the class willing to befriend Ruan Yu but didn’t come from a wealthy family.
However, due to the original owner’s repeated provocations and slandering, after witnessing “concrete evidence” of the dirt, Su Manying eventually abandoned Ruan Yu and disappointedly advised her to “behave yourself.”
Wen Yun had conflicting views on Su Manying. Even though the original owner was skilled at twisting facts and had the combined force of malicious friends like Lin Qiqi, as a supporting character defined by the author as “righteous,” she should have stood by the protagonist.
If she was righteous, she should have sought the truth. Even if she couldn’t exonerate an innocent person, she shouldn’t have abandoned her when Ruan Yu was at her most desperate and painful.
But considering Su Manying’s unremarkable family background, Wen Yun could understand her choice—Su Manying wasn’t from a wealthy family and was only able to attend Langying through excellent grades. She genuinely couldn’t afford the price of provoking a wealthy family.
The classroom was still quiet. Wen Yun placed the water basin on the floor and walked up to Su Manying, smiling: “You’re Student Su, right? Thank you for watching Xiao Yu’s bag! Our Xiao Yu is new and might not be entirely used to the new environment, so I’ll have to trouble you to look after her for a while.”
The academically brilliant girl wore a low ponytail, exuding an intellectual and poised aura. Seeing the wealthy Miss Wen in front of her and hearing her words, she quickly adjusted her glasses and said seriously, “You’re too kind. It’s what I should do, looking after a new classmate.”
