After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Lin Qiqi finally managed to drag the two “study maniacs” out to relax.

The resort had a VR Experience Center. Players could connect online and simulate a resort investment development game called “Fisherman’s Battle Royale,” where they threw fish at each other from their respective boats. The first to deplete the opponent’s health won. If they ran out of fish, they could use a net to catch new ones or use a fishing rod to reel them in. Special fish could be eaten to restore health.

Although, at Lin Qiqi’s insistence, the three each occupied a boat, Ruan Yu only threw fish at Lin Qiqi. Since Wen Yun didn’t intend to attack Ruan Yu, Lin Qiqi was defeated without contest in the first round.

“That’s not fair! You two ganged up on me!” Lin Qiqi shouted. “Solo! I demand a solo!! One of you be the referee!”

Exchanging a look with Ruan Yu, Wen Yun volunteered to be the referee.

Perhaps still holding a grudge over the bullying from Lin Qiqi in her past life, Ruan Yu showed no mercy, fighting with the intensity of two people. The barrage of fish was so relentless that Lin Qiqi couldn’t even lift her net.

Lin Qiqi tearfully quit the game, took off the VR headset, pulled out her phone, and said in outrage: “I’m calling for backup to beat you both!!”

This left Wen Yun and Ruan Yu confused until they saw He Sheng appear at the VR Center’s entrance and take the headset Lin Qiqi handed her. Only then did they realize Lin Qiqi had summoned a teammate.

He Sheng was considered one of the top gaming experts in the wealthy circles. While others spent money on luxury brands, she spent hers on life-sized figurines and gaming equipment. The moment she entered the game and picked up a fish, her oppressive aura instantly put Wen Yun and Ruan Yu on edge.

With He Sheng joining the fray, the one-sided battle was finally turned around. By the time a waiter hired by Grandfather Wen called them for dinner, He Sheng had managed to force the score into a draw.

“Let’s play something else this afternoon,” He Sheng said as she took off her headset. “This one’s too boring.”

However, there were very few activities available at the resort in winter. Lin Qiqi also hated the cold and adamantly refused to go outside. After some discussion, the four decided on a small private room and chose the casual building board game, ‘Machi Koro,’ where they built various structures while chatting.

Lin Qiqi started gossiping about all the latest rumors, and the topic soon drifted to the New Year’s Eve banquet: “I really don’t think what you two did at the New Year’s Eve banquet counts as openly coming out! You weren’t the only same-sex dance partners in the ballroom, and what’s wrong with playing a few love-themed piano pieces?”

“I agree,” He Sheng said. “A normal person would think, ‘The Wen family’s true and fake daughters have a great relationship,’ not, ‘The Wen family’s true and fake daughters are in a passionate romance,’ unless they already knew you two were interested in each other.”

“My brother looked into it,” Wen Yun explained. “The initial suspicion is that the Luo family spread the news, but the real instigator is likely the Shen family.”

“They’re taking revenge because you refused the dance invitation?” Lin Qiqi clicked her tongue. “It’s a good thing my alliance partner isn’t a Shen!”

“That’s just a guess, we haven’t reached a conclusion yet,” Wen Yun said helplessly. “But it’s probably better that this became public early, as we do intend to establish this kind of relationship in the future.”

“Then what are you going to do about your parents?” Lin Qiqi asked. “You can’t hide at your grandfather’s house forever, can you?”

Wen Yun was silent for a few seconds. “I haven’t thought it through yet. For now, the plan is to get through the college entrance exam before we tell them everything.”

“Tell them everything?”

“To be honest, Xiao Yu and I both want to leave that family,” Wen Yun sighed and rolled the dice. “It’s too suffocating. Everything is full of rules and prohibitions. Declining grades are met with warnings and threats. Eating, using, or raising anything that doesn’t fit their wealthy aesthetic is met with disdain and sarcasm.”

Looking at the six dots on the dice, Wen Yun picked up a card and continued, “On a side note, when Xiao Yu adopted Niu Niu (the cat), they were passive-aggressive about it, even comparing us to pedigree cats and common domestic cats. I don’t need to elaborate on what they meant, do I?”

“There are too many incidents like that. When they pile up, even a normal person would be assimilated by their way of thinking, becoming extreme and mean-spirited, viewing the world through biased lenses,” Ruan Yu said softly. “Our experience is still shallow, and our core values aren’t firmly established yet. We can’t avoid being influenced by the environment for now, so we can only choose to escape.”

Their biological parents weren’t just strict with them in small matters; when it came to major issues concerning the Wen family’s interests or their futures, they absolutely would not tolerate them having their own ideas.

They had given them chances, but what they got in return was one disappointment after another.

The private room fell silent. A few seconds later, He Sheng spoke up: “Alright, since it’s an upsetting topic, let’s drop it. Everyone, let’s just have fun!”

Happy times are always brief. After two days of relaxation, Wen Yun plunged back into her purgatory-level study mode.

It had to be said that the veteran teacher Wen Lu hired was truly adept at targeted revision. After one winter break, Wen Yun noticed her Math score had risen from a stable 100 points to a stable 120 points. Although this was still far from the highly competitive majors at C-Finance, if her other subjects remained stable, entering one of the less popular liberal arts majors was no longer an issue.

As the winter break drew to a close, Ruan Yu’s Piano Grade 6 exam arrived.

The day before was Wen Yun’s last day of tutoring. On the day of the exam, she accompanied Ruan Yu to the testing center in Z City with a light heart.

Wen Lu was already waiting at the entrance. To their surprise, Mother Wen had also come. She looked noticeably more haggard than half a month ago, with dark circles and wrinkles under her eyes.

Ruan Yu did not avoid her scrutinizing gaze. She even calmly asked, “Why did you come?”

“When Yunyun had her exams, Mom always accompanied her,” Mother Wen retracted her gaze, her smile as gentle as ever. “Now that it’s your exam, Mom should naturally accompany you too.”

Ruan Yu blinked, deliberately lowering her voice: “Mom, is there really any point in you maintaining this facade?”

Seeing her mother’s face instantly change color, she continued: “If I couldn’t play the piano at all, didn’t understand any of those etiquette rules, and had mediocre grades, would you still do this?”

Without waiting for her mother to speak, she slowly answered: “You absolutely would not.”

“How can you think that about your mother?!” Mother Wen instantly resembled a cat whose tail had been stepped on, staring at her in shock and anger.

Ruan Yu simply smiled and shook her head. She took Wen Yun’s hand and walked toward the hall without offering any further explanation.

When it was Ruan Yu’s turn to enter the examination room, Wen Yun sat on the corridor bench, her palms sweating with worry, afraid that Mother Wen’s appearance would affect Ruan Yu’s performance.

Fortunately, the exam went smoothly. According to Ruan Yu, the examiner never stopped her once and looked quite pleased, so passing was highly probable.

“Not highly probable. Be confident—it’s a guaranteed pass!” Wen Lu corrected her immediately after hearing the description. “Alright, now go back and prepare for the college entrance exam with peace of mind. The next time you want to take an exam, remember to contact me in advance.”

“Thank you, Brother,” Ruan Yu sincerely thanked him. She looked around but didn’t see her mother, and instinctively asked, “Where is Mom?”

“She went back after finishing her self-serving emotional performance,” Wen Lu said sarcastically. “Don’t take anything she said seriously. I’ve been home this whole time. If she genuinely cared about you, she wouldn’t have just shown up today with a fake interest to accompany you.”

The day Ruan Yu’s Grade 6 Piano Certificate arrived at the Wen family’s old residence was also the start of Langying High School’s new semester for Grade 12.

Since only Chinese, Math, and English remained for the main college entrance exam after the April subject selection exams, the class division for the Elite and Parallel streams would happen then. The division criteria were based on the Chinese, Math, and English scores from the first mock exam, the final exam, and the second mock exam.

Unfortunately, Wen Yun had missed the first mock exam due to a cold and fever, and her final exam score was low due to uneven performance and subject weaknesses. She no longer had high hopes of getting into the Elite Stream with Ruan Yu. She simply focused on solving problems and memorizing materials to get through the April selection exams first.

The college entrance exam countdown clock was already posted on the blackboard at the back of the classroom. The pace of review sped up after the one-week transition period ended.

Amidst the complaints of many students in the class, Wen Yun didn’t feel as much pressure, grateful for the tempering she had received during that incredibly rigorous winter break.

The second mock exam arrived at the end of March. The difficulty of the paper was insignificant to Wen Yun, who had already “endured purgatory.”

She even finished the paper ahead of time. After submitting it, she headed straight for the Dean of Students’ office to talk to Teacher Mo about revoking her disciplinary record.

The “Trinity Admissions” for C-Finance was set to begin enrolling in April. Before that, any stain that shouldn’t appear on a candidate’s file had to be erased.

“It’s already being processed. It should be cleared before the application starts in early April,” Teacher Mo said. Before Wen Yun could thank her, she asked unhurriedly, “Are you planning to apply for C-Finance’s ‘Trinity Admissions’?”

Wen Yun was stunned. “Ah, I thought about it, but I haven’t decided which major yet…”

“Your liberal arts subjects are good. You often show your own understanding in reading comprehension and essays, without being entirely constrained by the framework,” Teacher Mo said. “How about considering specializing in Language and Literature? I know a professor in the Language and Literature department at C-Finance. If you can get in, for my sake, she would be willing to guide you on various projects.”

This was a clear opportunity being handed to her. Wen Yun was ecstatic and quickly thanked her. As soon as she got home after the mock exam, she and Ruan Yu began researching the application materials for C-Finance’s “Trinity Admissions.”

“Not considering other majors?” Ruan Yu asked deliberately. She vaguely sensed that Language and Literature might be an area Wen Yun was proficient in.

“No, with an expert guiding me, sticking to my original profession won’t hurt,” Wen Yun shook her head. But after reading the admissions guidelines, she suddenly remembered that the original host’s awards and certificates were still at the Wen family house.

“Have your brother bring them over,” Ruan Yu reminded her. “It’s best not to go back before the college entrance exam.”

So, they video-called Wen Lu, giving him permission to enter their bedroom and find all the awards, certificates, and grade reports.

“Why are your awards kept so well? Where’s the key to the drawer?” Wen Lu muttered softly while searching the bookshelf for the key.

A small notebook suddenly fell from his hand, hitting the floor with a “thud,” and the flimsy lock on the cover shattered.

“What was that sound?” Wen Yun asked, surprised.

“Nothing, just a notebook fell,” Wen Lu bent down to pick it up. He glanced at the writing on the open page, paused, and couldn’t help but say, “Yunyun, did you also go through a period of Chūnibyō (Eighth-Grade Syndrome)?”

“What period of Chūnibyō?” Wen Yun was utterly confused, thinking he was looking at a green tea script she had written before. She quickly stopped him: “What are you looking at? Put it back!”

“Maybe it’s a script excerpt?” Wen Lu obediently closed the notebook and held it up to the camera. “If you care about it, I’ll bring it over with the awards.”

Since he said that, Wen Yun couldn’t help but care and quickly instructed him to bring it along.

After all these items were delivered to the old residence, Wen Yun searched through the suitcase they were in and found the notebook of “script excerpts” Wen Lu had mentioned.

Due to the transmigrator’s privilege, Wen Yun and the original Wen Yun had the same appearance and handwriting. But when she opened the notebook, she realized the contents were not something she had written since transmigrating.

First, there were two lines of lyrics: “The final judgment is about to descend; no one can escape the sin flowing in their blood.”

Then, a sentence of unclear meaning: “I have repented my sins to God and am willing to accept all judgment.”

The date of the entry was conspicuously the day she brought Ruan Yu home!
