After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 30

Chapter 30

As for the price of slandering, the boy listened to Wen Yun’s vivid description of the entire process of Zheng Jiafei’s expulsion from school. He was so terrified that his face turned pale and he couldn’t utter a word.

The adults nearby were embarrassed but couldn’t interrupt. The boy’s mother initially tried to say, “The child’s words were unintentional,” but Wen Yun retorted: “I know! That’s why I’m asking about the adult’s education. After all, an unintentional child wouldn’t understand what ‘clinging to the wealthy’ means, would they?”

Another person “kindly” reminded her hypocritically: “Yunyun, it’s not for a junior like you to criticize how other families educate their children, is it?”

“How can they be ‘other families’?” Ruan Yu remembered the person blinking her eyes and making an exaggerated expression, saying in shock, “Honestly, Uncle San, if I were an outsider and heard what this child said, I would definitely think he was ill-mannered! If you don’t correct him while he’s young, are you going to wait until he grows up and embarrasses the Wen family in front of outsiders?”

After that, the person made another “Aiya” sound: “I’m sorry, Uncle Er, I didn’t mean to call Haohao ill-mannered! I was just worried that you weren’t taking it seriously, so I deliberately exaggerated. You adults are so generous, you wouldn’t nitpick with a junior like me, would you?”

Even though she was listening to comments that were outwardly awkward, Ruan Yu inexplicably felt comforted and relieved at the time.

Recently, she had picked up some internet slang while chatting with He Sheng, including the term “double standards.”

Recalling the events of the morning, Ruan Yu thought to herself that she was probably a “double-standard person” back then.

By the time Ruan Yu finished her IV drip, the allergen test results were roughly available. She was allergic to shellfish, and also mildly allergic to eggs and almonds. The hives on her body had gradually subsided after the IV drip, and she would be fine after two more days of anti-allergy medication to consolidate.

Despite this, when the driver, Old Hu, asked, Wen Yun still told him to drive her and Ruan Yu straight home and to pass a message to Grandfather Wen, saying they would definitely make time to apologize next time.

They said “apologize,” but they both knew this was to create a legitimate reason for their next meeting.

Since they had left the banquet midway to go to the hospital and only brought their own bags, they didn’t take the calligraphy gift from Grandfather Wen, who would surely want them to come back and retrieve it.

Back home, Wen Yun repeatedly instructed the butler: “Xiao Yu can’t eat certain trigger foods for the next few days. Please make the food she likes as light as possible. Don’t add ingredients like scallions, garlic, or chili peppers, and no eggs for now.”

The butler had likely been pre-warned by the Wen parents. She didn’t even ask why the diet needed to be light, simply nodding: “Miss Yunyun, please rest assured. I will certainly be mindful of the diet.”

Early October wasn’t too hot anymore, but since they were returning from the hospital, the butler suggested they take a bath and change their clothes.

Wen Yun agreed with the butler this time. She instructed the butler to prepare clothes for both her and Ruan Yu, then ushered Ruan Yu towards the second-floor bathroom.

“Today’s a special case, let’s bathe together,” she said as they walked. “I’m worried you might faint from the heat in the bathroom.”

This could indeed happen with severe allergies. Wen Yun once had a roommate who was allergic to hot air. One winter, while showering in the dorm, the steam built up, and the roommate became suffocated and fainted while washing. Fortunately, someone was nearby, heard the commotion, and rushed into the bathroom to rescue her, or it could have been fatal.

Ruan Yu’s face instantly changed. She stammered, “I… I shouldn’t be that weak, should I?”

“Just as a precaution,” Wen Yun explained. “Just this one time today. If everything is fine, then you can bathe alone afterward.”

Ruan Yu knew this person rarely made such serious demands of her, and two girls bathing together wasn’t a big deal. Yet, she understood the logic but felt an inexplicable resistance. She reluctantly agreed after much squirming.

She didn’t know that Wen Yun was close to giving up and was constantly guessing why Ruan Yu was unwilling to bathe with her. Was it simple shyness from co-bathing for the first time, or had something unpleasant related to co-bathing happened in her previous life, leaving her with a psychological shadow?

Before long, the butler brought their loungewear and undergarments and placed them in the bathroom closet.

Wen Yun thanked her. The bathroom door closed, and she tied her long hair into a bun on top of her head to keep it from getting wet.

“You should tie your hair up too, right?” She pulled open a drawer, found a hair tie, handed it to Ruan Yu, and said with a smile, “That’s great. In just over a month, you’ve gotten fairer, and your hair has grown quite a bit.”

Ruan Yu had only heard similar compliments from her friend Su Man Ying in her previous life.

She had completely forgotten how she felt back then, but hearing the same compliment now, she inexplicably felt her cheeks heat up. She quickly mumbled a thank you, hastily took the hair tie, and tied her hair into a small ponytail at the back of her head.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the person had already exposed her smooth back. She held her dress and tossed it from a distance into the laundry basket.

Ruan Yu: “…”

When Wen Yun turned around, she saw the girl frantically stripping off her clothes. Her face, ears, and neck were all bright red. Wen Yun’s heart jumped in alarm, and she quickly strode over and asked, “Did you touch something? Why is your body so red?!”

“I didn’t touch anything…” Ruan Yu quickly shook her head, her voice noticeably weaker.

But she truly didn’t know what was wrong with her. She didn’t dare to look at this person, and her heart began to race.

Wen Yun was also puzzled. She was about to suggest they skip the bath until the redness subsided, but the girl quickly stripped off the rest of her clothes, put them in the laundry basket, returned, and said in a small voice, “We can wash now. I don’t feel uncomfortable.”

Since she specifically emphasized it, Wen Yun abandoned her previous thought and turned on the faucet to adjust the temperature.

“It’s best not to use the bathtub right after an allergic reaction. Also, don’t use soap or shower gel; it can irritate the skin,” she said. “Just rinse yourself with plain water.”

To be mindful of Ruan Yu’s condition, Wen Yun also didn’t use soap or shower gel when she washed.

She wasn’t sure if Ruan Yu might be allergic to these two scents now, as the body usually enters a period of weakness immediately after an allergic reaction is triggered.

The warm water flowed down. The showerhead in the bathroom was quite large; there was more than enough room for both girls to stand together.

Ruan Yu felt a bit dizzy, especially after that person turned around. She was dazzled by the generous and full sight of her, and a complex emotion, which was a mix of inferiority and envy, quietly crept into her heart.

She wanted to have… that too.

The girl was completely unaware that the emotion in her eyes was clearly visible to Wen Yun.

Wen Yun could usually guess what girls at this age wanted. After all, she had gone through that stage herself. However, she genuinely hadn’t expected the protagonist to feel inferior about this particular aspect.

That was clearly a burden! In her previous life, she even told her roommate that when she was rich, she would definitely get liposuction. Being flat was simply great, wasn’t it?!

Wen Yun sighed internally but couldn’t say it out loud. Her words would surely not comfort Ruan Yu, so she simply pretended not to see it. She quickly finished her shower, walked to the side to dry off, and put on her nightgown.

The sound of the water stopped then. She turned around and saw Ruan Yu hastily grab a dry towel and quickly wrap it around herself.

Wen Yun: ?

No need to rush that much.

The dizzy state only began to subside after Ruan Yu returned to her bedroom and closed the door.

Lying on her back on the bed, she compared the feeling to the allergic reaction at noon and concluded that it was definitely not an allergic reaction.

But what was it then?

She had experienced simple envy before, more than once, but none of those times had her heart racing, accompanied by her face and neck flushing, as it had just now.

The girl was accustomed to finding solutions immediately when faced with a problem, so she picked up her phone from the bedside and searched for the confusion in her heart:

“What causes sudden dizziness, blushing, and a racing heart?”

Upon hitting the search key, the entire page showed various doctors’ answers, which essentially boiled down to psychological tension or genuinely existing physiological conditions.

Ruan Yu carefully checked each one, and the more she read, the more she felt none of them matched her situation. As she pondered, the person’s back suddenly appeared in her mind, and a wave of warmth surged through her heart.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, she deleted the original question and typed in what she had just thought of:

“Why do I blush when I see a same-sex body?”

The answers were even more varied.

Some said it was normal, and others suggested it was due to an introverted personality and easily being shy.

Still others said it was the awakening of adult consciousness, which could happen if one previously lived in a more conservative environment, and that she would get used to it.

Ruan Yu scrolled down further and even saw a netizen’s reply: “Why even ask? It must be that you’re interested in them! The Original Poster couldn’t possibly think you can only be interested in the opposite sex, right? You can be interested in the same sex too! If you don’t believe it, observe yourself and don’t deny your true feelings~”

…What was all this nonsense?

She found it absurd. After reading through everything, she ultimately accepted the answers about the awakening of consciousness and “previously living in a conservative environment.” She put down her phone with a sense of satisfaction, sat up cross-legged, and dialed a number she had long memorized but never called.

The “beep-beep” rang for a long time before it was picked up on the other end. An old woman’s voice with a distinct accent sounded in her ear: “Hello?”

Hearing her Grandma’s voice, Ruan Yu’s eyes instantly stung. Afraid the elder would hang up because of the silence, she quickly whispered, “Grandma, it’s me. This is my new phone.”

The elder on the other end was silent for a moment, then asked anxiously, “Are you doing well at your new home, girl?”

“I’m very well, Grandma, don’t worry,” Ruan Yu said softly. “The one who came to pick me up that day was Yunyun. She treats me very well. Today, she and I even went to the Wen Family Old Residence to see Grandpa, and we just took a bath together after coming back.”

She spoke sentence by sentence about her experiences in the new home, focusing mainly on how kind that person was to her. The elder on the other end listened attentively, never interrupting.

Ruan Yu didn’t know how long she spoke until she heard the elder sigh softly. Only then did she stop talking and ask, “Are you both doing well? Was the money the Wen family gave enough for Grandpa’s medical treatment?”

“Enough, enough for many years’ worth of medicine!” Grandma Ruan quickly said. “Girl, don’t worry about things here. There’s an organization in the village that takes care of the elderly, and Grandpa and Grandma will take care of ourselves.”

“That’s good. I feel relieved in my new home then,” Ruan Yu said with a smile, then tentatively asked, “Grandma, can I bring Yunyun back to visit for a day or two?”
