After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 44

Chapter 44

As Christmas approached, even though Ruan Yu didn’t deliberately dwell on it, a knot still tightened in her heart.

She was about to see her brother again—the brother who, based on Wen Yun’s few “sincere” tears, had unhesitatingly sided with Wen Yun, pushing Ruan Yu into the abyss and driving her out of the house.

Now that she had that person by her side, she didn’t hold much interest or hope for her brother to be kind to her. Her curiosity was purely about the attitude he would take toward her.

Would her brother still break down in despair, as he had in her past life, simply because he wasn’t related by blood to the sister he grew up with?

It was within Ruan Yu’s expectation for that person to proactively seek her out to discuss countermeasures.

“You mean Brother is only planning to come back and see for himself after hearing about the true and fake daughter swap?” Ruan Yu asked.

“His exact words weren’t like that,” Wen Yun opened WeChat and showed her the message. “Brother didn’t say what the news was, but I guess it’s highly likely related to us.”

The chat history with Wen Lu was very brief. Ruan Yu naturally saw the time of their last conversation, frowned slightly, and abruptly changed the subject: “Does Brother really care about her that much?”

Wen Yun was stunned. A few seconds later, she realized Ruan Yu meant the original Wen Yun. She nodded hesitantly: “I guess so. The siblings always had a good relationship…”

“If the relationship was always good, would they go a whole year without contact?” Ruan Yu pointed out deliberately.

“That… I don’t know either,” Wen Yun shook her head. “In any case, the information I know is that Brother loves me very much. In the eyes of his friends, he’s a textbook-level ‘sister-complex’… Do you know what that means?”

“I know,” Ruan Yu replied. As she spoke, she took Wen Yun’s phone and typed out a message to Wen Lu. After she finished, she handed it back. “Let’s turn an unknown into a known first.”

Wen Yun took the phone and saw Ruan Yu had used her tone to confess the truth about the true and fake daughters to Wen Lu!

…And Ruan Yu’s imitation of the green tea dialogue was quite spot-on. Furthermore, the message emphasized that their relationship was excellent and they weren’t scheming against each other or causing family strife, unlike what might be seen in some dramas or novels.

After carefully reading through it, Wen Yun said with some difficulty, “There’s a serious problem. People who know me well might interpret green tea remarks in reverse. I tried it with Qiqi initially and found that the more polite I sounded, the more she thought you were bullying me terribly.”

Initially?

Ruan Yu keenly caught the word.

So, that time was also an early stage for this person.

She thought for a moment. “Then, how about explaining it in an informal tone?”

“I haven’t tried it on Brother, but it works wonders on Qiqi,” Wen Yun said.

“Let’s try it,” Ruan Yu concluded decisively.

The tone of the message they sent immediately took a sharp turn: “Brother, let me tell you a surprise first! Mom and Dad found their biological daughter, and now I have a great sister to chat with, study with, and even share a bed with! Let me be clear, I won’t allow you to dislike her! If you dare to dislike her, I’ll fall out with you! I’ll break off our sibling relationship!”

The two stared at the message. After a few seconds, Wen Yun couldn’t help but burst out laughing first.

“This looks exactly like Qiqi stole my phone and sent it!” she finally found a suitable description.

“You don’t like it?” Ruan Yu asked with a smile.

“I love it,” Wen Yun said seriously. “Well, let’s study for now and wait for Brother’s reply?”

There was a time difference between the countries, so they waited until the next morning.

The car was halfway to school. Wen Yun was reading the news when a message notification popped up on WeChat.

L: ?

Wen Yun waited for a while, but no follow-up came for five minutes. She couldn’t resist leaning into Ruan Yu’s ear and whispering, “He only replied with a question mark.”

Ruan Yu had inevitably had related nightmares from her past life yesterday and hadn’t slept well. She was a bit fuzzy now. The warm breath on her ear made her feel a little disoriented: “Who?”

“Our Brother.” Wen Yun had just handed the phone to her when another notification sounded. She instinctively looked down.

L: “She’s been here for almost half a year, why didn’t you tell me sooner?!”

L: “It’s one thing for Mom and Dad, but why were you keeping it from me too?! What do you take me for, your brother?!”

Ruan Yu tilted her head to read the new messages. Her morning grouchiness prompted her to type: “Dad said she needed a one-year observation period. If she didn’t pass, they would kick her out. Only if she passed would she be a part of the Wen family. That’s why I didn’t tell you. After all, no hope means no disappointment.”

After typing, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, handed the phone back to Wen Yun, and leaned her head on Wen Yun’s shoulder. “If you think it’s okay, send it.”

Wen Yun didn’t think the words needed changing. She read them and immediately pressed Send.

This time, Wen Lu remained silent for a long time. It was so long that they had finished two classes and a long break for track practice before a new reply arrived.

L: “Yunyun, since you’re close to her, tell her from me that she’d better start preparing to leave now.”

L: “Since she’s my biological sister, I should cover her running away expenses.”

L: “Of course, if you don’t want to stay in that house either, you can leave with her. I have enough money now to support you both through four years of university.”

“…” Wen Yun suddenly thought of a specific meme.

A person standing in a room, leaning out halfway, holding up a sign to all the newcomers downstairs: Run away!

Wen Yun truly hadn’t expected her own brother to be urging them to run away.

To put it harshly, a rich family like the Wen family was practically a joke—they couldn’t even hold on to their own children.

She typed, deleted, and re-typed. In the end, she only sent one sentence: “Let’s talk when you get back.”

The 23rd arrived quickly. Wen Lu’s flight was in the morning there, but he arrived at the Wen family estate at 4:00 AM local time on the 23rd.

When he arrived, Ruan Yu happened to be woken up by the cat walking on her. She groggily put down the Shiba Inu pillow and got up to feed the cat water and food.

Faintly, she heard a familiar male voice from far outside the door:

“Why are you still letting her sleep in the guest room?”

“Young Master, the original master bedrooms are all occupied,” followed by the butler’s voice. “However, Miss Yunyun has offered her painting studio to be converted into a master bedroom for Miss Xiao Yu. Miss Xiao Yu will be able to move in by the end of this month.”

“Occupied? My bedroom is empty. Why didn’t you clear it out for her?”

“Well…”

…Was this a dream?

Ruan Yu blinked in disbelief, staring blankly at the bedroom door. Only when the tuxedo cat meowed and rubbed against her hand did she come to her senses. She stroked the soft cat fur repeatedly, still a bit lost.

It must be a dream.

Yet, she didn’t even dare to dream such a thing.

After feeding the cat, she immediately went back to bed.

The next day, she put on her sportswear as usual, tied up her hair, which could now be gathered into a bunch, with a dark blue hairband, and clipped her bangs with a silver butterfly hair clip.

She carried the cat out. Passing the dining room, she saw the man from her memory, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting opposite that person in a civilized manner. The siblings were laughing and chatting. Her heart suddenly sank, and she somehow walked over to them.

Wen Yun had intentionally gotten up early to catch Wen Lu, who was in the habit of eating breakfast early. She wanted to discuss her plan to run away with Ruan Yu and, incidentally, gauge his attitude toward Ruan Yu.

She never expected that Wen Lu, whom she found utterly disgusting in the original novel, would say something that perfectly aligned with her own feelings this time: “It’s not a bad thing to have an extra sister. The mix-up was a trick of fate. Aside from the backward living environment, the Ruan family didn’t suppress her development. They actively pushed her into a new environment and didn’t try to seek money from us at all.”

He paused. “Unless XiaoY u is a selfish, self-serving scoundrel who only bullies you, why would I dislike her?”

Hearing these words, Wen Yun knew this ally was secured. She grinned, her mood immediately showing on her face.

And it was this exact scene that Ruan Yu saw when she walked out.

Although the fish tank obscured some of the view, Wen Yun’s sharp eyes immediately spotted her and called out loudly: “Is that you, Xiao Yu?”

Having been discovered by that person, Ruan Yu had no choice but to answer. She walked up to them, still holding the cat, and whispered to it: “Niuniu, this is Brother.”

The tuxedo cat didn’t understand, but it smelled the freshly baked fish fillet on the table. It ignored Ruan Yu and turned its head to look at the table.

“Isn’t this a ‘cat husky’?” Wen Lu smiled as soon as he saw the tuxedo cat. “Did Yunyun or Xiao Yu raise it?”

“We raised it together, of course,” Wen Yun smiled back, pulling Ruan Yu’s sleeve to get her to sit next to her. “But Xiao Yu rescued the cat at school.”

“Can I pet it?” Wen Lu asked genuinely.

Ruan Yu hesitated, looked at Wen Yun, and seeing no objection, reluctantly handed the cat over.

“I always wanted to sneak a kitten home. When I was little, I finally managed to lure a stray cat back—I think it was a little orange tabby. I even made a bed for it in a cardboard box, thinking I’d bathe it when it grew a bit bigger since being dirty makes them prone to illness.”

Wen Lu carefully held the cat, ensuring its four paws rested on him without dangling. He recalled leisurely, “A few days later, the cat and the cardboard box were both gone. I searched near the house for a long time but never found it. I had to assume it had become a spirit and didn’t like me, so it ran away with the box overnight.”

Although he spoke in a light, joking tone, both Wen Yun and Ruan Yu sensed the underlying meaning, and their expressions changed slightly.

“Xiao Yu, are you dressed like that to go work out?” After a moment of silence, Wen Lu proactively changed the subject. “I heard that the sports complex at C City Financial University is very close to the student dormitories, has complete facilities, and even has instructors leading yoga and Tai Chi classes in the morning. As long as you get up early enough, anyone can join.”

As soon as he mentioned C-Finance, both Wen Yun and Ruan Yu perked up, instinctively looking at him.

“I have a few good friends who go to C-Finance. Their majors aren’t all in finance,” Wen Lu pushed up his glasses, gently scratched the cat’s ear in his arms, and said unhurriedly, “If you’re interested, I can create a small group chat, and you can ask around yourselves.”
