After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 2
Chapter 2
“Initial ‘Green Tea’ talk successful, ‘Tea-ness’ degree +1. Host, please continue to work hard~”
Hearing the system’s prompt in her mind, Wen Yun gave a start, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the system’s criteria weren’t that rigid; she only needed to be responsible for the ‘Green Tea’ talk she didn’t have to direct those strange comments solely at the protagonist.
The driver was momentarily stunned and quickly said, “Of course I don’t mind!” and gently eased off the accelerator.
Wen Yun looked back at the girl in the back seat again. She saw that the coughing had gradually stopped, but tears had streamed down half her face, making her look quite a mess. She glanced around and finally took an unopened packet of tissues from the original host’s bag.
She had originally intended to hand it over in silence, but the ‘Green Tea’ talk template automatically popped up in her mind, and the phrases kept multiplying.
Knowing the system was reminding her to make a ‘Green Tea’ statement, Wen Yun thought for two seconds while looking at the phrases. As she handed over the tissues, she said in an embarrassed tone: “I don’t know why, but I suddenly just wanted to give you something. You shouldn’t refuse, right?”
Meeting Ruan Yu’s reddened eyes and startled gaze, Wen Yun instinctively offered her ‘worker bee’ smile.
Tea-ness degree +1
Along with the prompt, she noticed the girl’s gaze shift to wariness, but the next second, the other party accepted the tissues she offered.
“Thank you.”
Ruan Yu’s voice was slightly hoarse, soft, and gentle.
The words most often used in the original text to describe the protagonist were timidity and cowardice. But whether it was an illusion or not, Wen Yun didn’t detect a hint of a tone associated with those two words, which surprised her.
However, she was easygoing and didn’t dwell on it. She nodded and turned back around.
She was completely oblivious to the fact that the girl’s gaze had already turned cold.
Taking advantage of the remaining time before reaching home, Wen Yun opened her attribute panel.
Current Name in Use: Wen Yun Current Survival Time: 24 hours Tea-ness Degree: 2 points Interpersonal Relationships: [Click to expand]
Wen Yun thought about it and first opened the Exchange Store to view the available items.
“The Host has just entered this world, and permission is not enough yet. You can only view the items in the Junior Store for now,” the system reminded her as soon as she clicked on the store. “Once the Host’s accumulated Tea-ness degree reaches a certain value, you can unlock a higher-level store!”
There were only two types of goods in the Junior Store: a Junior Life Extension Card, costing 1 point of ‘Tea-ness’ each and extending life by 3 hours per card, and a Mystery Item, which cost 10 points of ‘Tea-ness’ per draw.
Wen Yun immediately used all her ‘Tea-ness’ to exchange for two “Junior Life Extension Cards,” extending her life by 6 hours first. After confirming that her survival time had changed to 30 hours, she was about to expand the interpersonal relationships panel when the car slightly paused.
She subconsciously looked up. Separated by the dark iron gate, a three-story European-style villa stood before her, bathed in a faint warm orange glow from the setting sun.
The car waited at the iron gate. After a few seconds, the iron gate automatically opened. A middle-aged woman in a black uniform bowed to them, followed by a man also in a black uniform. Once the car slowly drove in, the woman walked to the side of the car and elegantly made a “please” gesture.
Wen Yun had never seen such a setup. Even though she had inherited the original host’s memories and knew these were the housekeeper and bodyguard hired by the Wen family, she was still greatly shocked for a moment.
However, she quickly regained her composure. After the driver got out of the car, she quietly said to Ruan Yu in the back seat: “I’m going to remind you of a few things now. Don’t be nervous.”
Without waiting for Ruan Yu to respond, she continued, “This is your home to begin with, so absolutely don’t look around, or you’ll be disliked. After seeing Mom and Dad, you must find a way to secure the room on the second floor for yourself. Do you understand?”
Her experience reading countless transmigration novels made her understand the importance of “transmigrators hugging the protagonist’s thigh.”
Moreover, this was a protagonist whose story made her feel regretful. Since she had the chance to transmigrate into this frustrating book, she thought she might as well help the protagonist change her fate, too.
In any case, being nice to the protagonist couldn’t be wrong.
The car door beside her suddenly opened, and Wen Yun quickly turned back and got out of the car first.
After getting out, her attention was completely focused on Ruan Yu.
It was also at this moment that she realized how “plain” the protagonist’s current appearance was for a wealthy, prominent family.
Her skin was rough and dark, clearly from often being outside in the sun doing manual labor. Although her hairstyle was the standard “student cut” and looked well-behaved, her long bangs obscured her eyes, making her look somewhat gloomy. Her short-sleeved shirt and long pants were old styles that had faded from washing, and her white canvas shoes were slightly yellowed.
Fortunately, the protagonist straightened her back as soon as she stood firm, and her gaze did not wander around due to curiosity or nervousness. Although her eyes were still red, the tears had been wiped dry, and the tissues Wen Yun had given her earlier were hidden in her backpack.
It seems the protagonist is willing to listen to her.
Wen Yun smiled with satisfaction and instructed the bodyguard who came to fetch the luggage: “Xiao Yu’s luggage is in the trunk. It contains her valuable belongings, so please handle it with care!”
The bodyguard silently followed behind them, and the female housekeeper led the way in front, also completely silent.
As she followed the housekeeper towards the villa, Wen Yun recalled the original text, remembering that the original host had used ‘Green Tea’ talk on the curious protagonist at this point, subtly making the protagonist realize that even though she had the blood of a wealthy family, she was now just an outsider from the countryside.
Perhaps because Ruan Yu had listened to her reminder, the protagonist showed no curiosity now, her gaze remaining level and focused straight ahead, walking neither humbly nor arrogantly. There was a subtle elegance in her mannerisms.
Wen Yun even felt that even if the original host were the one talking, she probably wouldn’t be able to find suitable ‘Green Tea’ remarks.
However, no sooner had the thought crossed her mind than the ‘Green Tea’ talk template “swooshed” out of her head. One ‘Green Tea’ phrase after another appeared like scrolling captions, seemingly urging her:
“You’ve lived in the mountains since childhood, haven’t you seen such a big house? It’s okay, you can feast your eyes today. Look for as long as you want.”
“This is your real home, and I’m just an impostor. Mom and Dad will definitely favor you from now on. But my feelings for this place run so deep. I’m truly sorry; I don’t know what to do to be fair to both you and Mom and Dad…”
“I didn’t intentionally take your home. I didn’t know anything before. You’ll forgive me, right?”
Wen Yun: …
She felt her blood pressure rising.
“Do I absolutely have to say it?” she asked the system.
“The Host can choose not to say it,” the system replied, “but it is recommended that the Host accumulate as much Tea-ness degree as possible in the early stages.”
“Then I won’t say it,” Wen Yun refused without hesitation.
System: “…”
As it fell silent, the scrolling ‘Green Tea’ talk templates in Wen Yun’s mind also disappeared.
“Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to ‘brew tea’ later,” Wen Yun said. “Oh, can the ‘Tea-ness’ prompt sound be turned off? I’ll check it myself from time to time.”
She always felt the [Tea-ness degree +1] prompt sound was like a boss supervising her from behind, which made her very uncomfortable.
“Okay, it has been turned off.”
Wen Yun was so preoccupied with talking to the system that she didn’t notice the protagonist walking beside her slightly lowering her head, the straight-cut bangs casting a shadow over her eyes.
The Wen family villa was like a castle. Its sheer outline alone astonished Wen Yun, and once inside, she truly felt like she was in a dream.
Everything was exactly as written in the original text. The colors of the floor, ceiling, and furniture were all quite bright. A glance upward revealed a huge crystal chandelier, layered like a cake, emitting a rose-gold light.
Further inside, a spiral staircase ascended, its railings intricately carved into a design of intertwining thorns and roses, elegant and unrestrained.
A massive landscape embroidery hung on the living room wall, extending all the way up to the second-floor ceiling. In the storage compartments on either side of the embroidery were expensive decorations like root carvings, jade, and agate ornaments, and the wood used for the compartments themselves was of superior quality.
A tropical fish tank separated the living room and the dining room. The variety of fish made Wen Yun dizzy.
After a quick scan, Wen Yun felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, as if she were surrounded by mountains of gold and silver.
Wen Yun: Turns out I’m the country bumpkin.jpg
Withdrawing her gaze, she saw Father Wen and Mother Wen sitting on the leather sofa, currently scrutinizing Ruan Yu who was standing beside her. Four European bone china teacups, each with a different pattern and signifying the user’s status, were already set on the expensive wooden coffee table.
The next second, a new ‘Green Tea’ talk template popped up in Wen Yun’s mind again:
“Mom and Dad! I’m so envious of Xiao Yu’s tanned skin. I wonder how much sun exposure it takes to get it.”
“…Turn off the template too,” Wen Yun couldn’t help but say. “I’ll look at it myself when needed.”
Dismissing the template, Wen Yun looked at the Wen elders, gritted her teeth, and cooed a “Mom and Dad.” However, instead of sitting next to them, she linked her arm with Ruan Yu’s and tried to force out her brightest smile: “I brought Xiao Yu back!”
“Hello, Mom and Dad.” Ruan Yu, in contrast, gave a slight bow towards Father Wen and Mother Wen. Her voice was very calm, showing neither joy nor excitement, nor timidity nor apprehension.
“My daughter!” Mother Wen, on the other hand, stood up and walked toward them, muttering, tears instantly streaming down her face, “It’s Mom and Dad’s fault. You’ve suffered all these years!”
However, just as she reached out to Ruan Yu, Ruan Yu stepped back half a pace and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mom. I got carsick on the way. Can I take a shower and change clothes first?”
Wen Yun stood by, watched Mother Wen retract her outstretched hand, feeling disdainful of her internally but saying aloud: “Mom, Xiao Yu is here for the first time and isn’t very familiar with the environment. Can I go with her to the bathroom?”
“Yes, you two go ahead.” Mother Wen quickly nodded and turned to instruct, “Aunt Ge, prepare clothes and toiletries for Xiao Yu.”
“Aunt Ge” was the female housekeeper who had brought them in. She had been standing by to serve tea, and hearing this, she immediately complied and walked toward the stairs.
Wen Yun immediately pulled Ruan Yu and followed. Before they had walked a few steps, she heard Mother Wen’s voice again: “Yunyun, the public bathroom is on the right…”
“But Xiao Yu is the Wen family’s real daughter, your biological daughter. I should take her to the private bathroom on the second floor instead!” Wen Yun turned around, interrupting her, her face showing confusion, and stating with righteous confidence.
