After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 7
Chapter 7
At one o’clock in the morning, Wen Yun, just about to drift off to sleep, suddenly heard a rapid sequence of new message alerts. Drowsily, she picked up the phone from her bedside.
They were all from “Cute Sweetheart Qiqi”:
“I’m so sorry, Yunyun!”
“I’ve seriously reflected and now fully realize my mistake [Crying]”
“I’ve read many reports about transfer students from the countryside. I know they’re not to be messed with—they’re the type who have nothing to lose. I was genuinely afraid you’d be bullied by someone like that and wouldn’t dare say anything!”
“So, when I heard you say Ruan Yu was from the countryside, my first reaction was to treat her as an enemy…”
“But I’ve already said those terrible things. Now I completely don’t know what to do QAQ”
“[Image][Image]”
Seriously, Lin Qiqi was still awake this late!
The words were indeed quite sincere, which made Wen Yun feel relieved, but when she glanced at the images she sent—they looked like chat screenshots—her heart inexplicably sank.
Curiously, she clicked on the images. The moment she read the message content, she shot up from the bed.
It was precisely the chat history of the class group she had just looked at!
Moreover, the anonymous posts exposing the country transfer student news and the later post calling her a “low-class country transfer student” were all on the right side! And they used different anonymous IDs!
Wen Yun felt her blood pressure instantly spike.
She remembered that at about this time in the original novel, someone had anonymously “leaked” information about the country transfer student in the class group, and started the trend of “country transfer students are so low-class.”
But until the end, the author never revealed who disclosed the news.
In short, this news caused a wave of mockery in the class, and as a result, the protagonist was isolated the moment she transferred schools.
Wen Yun had considered whether the original owner was the one who leaked it, but there was no such event in the memory she inherited. She had checked all of the original owner’s social accounts and only found vague hints to a few wealthy friends that the original owner didn’t want an extra family member.
She couldn’t believe this was the news that Lin Qiqi spread!! And Lin Qiqi also started the subsequent trend!
What immense hatred! She hadn’t even met the person, yet she was already calling her a “low-class commodity”!
Wen Yun was so angry at this ridiculous move that she was jolted wide awake. She turned on the bedside lamp and edited a message with a serious face:
“…I am truly angry.”
“If you are sincerely remorseful, I suggest you come and apologize to Xiao Yu in person between tomorrow’s entrance exam and the start of school.”
“Even if Xiao Yu doesn’t take the Wen surname now, since she has been brought back by the Wen family, regardless of her former identity or where she is from, as long as she is with the Wen family for one day, she is a member of the Wen family. I also don’t wish for the long-standing friendship between our two families to be damaged because of this.”
“Furthermore, even without naming her directly, her reputation has now been tainted by you. If she transfers to our class when school starts, the rumor will be confirmed, and you must be responsible for this.”
After sending all the messages, Wen Yun finally felt a bit more settled. She sighed, went to the en-suite bathroom to splash her face with cold water, and came back to cool off. She happened to see an incoming WeChat call from Lin Qiqi.
She answered without hesitation, sat back on the bed, and said flatly, “What is it?”
“I’m scared.” Lin Qiqi’s voice sounded like she was about to cry. “What if she doesn’t accept my apology?”
Wen Yun almost laughed out of frustration. “Qiqi, you called her a ‘low-class commodity’ and ruined her reputation. What’s the problem if she doesn’t accept your apology?”
“Then, what should I do?” Lin Qiqi asked tearfully. “I truly know I was wrong! What exactly can I do to make amends?”
Wen Yun had originally intended to give her a good lecture, but then reconsidered. Letting the little villain off with just an apology would be too easy. So, she said, “First, do what I just told you, and then figure out a way to minimize the bad impact. Ideally, you should be able to restore Xiao Yu’s reputation.”
She paused. “If you really can’t do that, then you must, no matter what, protect Xiao Yu from verbal abuse such as being mocked in groups, insulted publicly, or slandered behind her back. Do you understand?”
To some extent, Lin Qiqi’s ridiculous actions served as a “demon-revealing mirror.” After seeing those strange posts, Wen Yun didn’t have much hope that the students in this class would treat the protagonist kindly.
Even if the protagonist was indeed the Wen family’s specially brought-back biological daughter, as long as she didn’t bear the Wen surname, she was nothing more than a country bumpkin briefly experiencing wealthy life in the eyes of other rich kids.
Her ability to care for and protect Ruan Yu alone was limited. Why not pull in a friend who was willing to follow her commands as a teammate?
Lin Qiqi, while malicious, was also genuine in her nature.
If the protagonist and she became close, Lin Qiqi would undoubtedly go to great lengths for the protagonist.
“Okay, okay! I understand! I will definitely do my best!” Lin Qiqi agreed repeatedly. “Then I won’t disturb your rest tonight. Good night, Yunyun!”
Hanging up the phone, Wen Yun couldn’t fall back asleep. She turned off the light, lay for a while with her eyes open, and asked the System, “Has the class the protagonist is transferring to been decided?”
“Yes, Host,” the System replied.
“Can she go back to her original school?” Wen Yun asked again.
“I’m afraid not, Host. With the influence of the Protagonist Halo, she wouldn’t be able to avoid similar incidents even if she returned to her original school,” the System said. “Furthermore, the Wen family would be ridiculed by other wealthy families because of this matter.”
“…” Wen Yun couldn’t quite grasp the connection between the two, but since the protagonist couldn’t escape this fate, it was best to keep her somewhere she could watch.
At least if something did happen, she could find out and resolve it in time.
At six-thirty the next morning, Wen Yun habitually opened her eyes and fumbled for the phone on her pillow. Seeing the time, she mumbled, “Why didn’t the alarm go off today…”
“Host, wake up properly!” A female voice suddenly rang out in her mind. “You’ve already transmigrated into the book! Your current identity is in the novel The Wealthy Family: The True Heiress’s Counterattack as the—”
“I’m awake, I’m awake!” Wen Yun interrupted the System before it could finish. “Sigh, so it wasn’t a dream…”
Looking at the row of Lenai Bears on the original owner’s bedside table, and realizing she was truly stuck in this world, Wen Yun sighed with emotion but didn’t feel much regret.
In her original world, she had long been unattached. Her elders had passed away years ago, and she had no interest in dating or marriage. She worked long hours, waking early and staying late, only to ensure a better life for herself.
Wen Yun stretched, then opened the attributes panel.
Current Name Used: Wen Yun
Current Survival Time: 111 hours
Green Tea Value: 0 points
Social Relationships: [Click to expand]
Before sleeping last night, she had exchanged the newly acquired 15 Green Tea points for a survival extension card. Coupled with the time deducted after midnight, she had managed to extend her life by another day.
“Host only spent six hours here yesterday, so only six hours of survival time were automatically deducted after midnight,” the System reminded her. “But starting today, 24 hours of survival time will be deducted after midnight. Host must ensure you reserve enough survival time!”
Wen Yun understood this better than it did. She immediately rolled out of bed, tied her hair into a high ponytail for easy movement, changed into a tracksuit, went out to wash up, and headed downstairs, preparing to look for opportunities to engage in some “green tea talk.”
In the morning at the end of August, between six and seven, it was already bright outside. The butler was instructing the maids on cleaning and cooking.
The original owner had a habit of waking up early to exercise, so Wen Yun’s descent down the stairs didn’t attract attention. Only the butler, Aunt Ge, stopped her, presenting a cup of warm water on a tray. “Miss, please drink.”
Wen Yun took the cup and drank a few sips. After thinking for a moment, she couldn’t help but ask, “Has Xiao Yu woken up yet?”
“Not yet,” the butler shook her head. “Does Miss need me to wake her?”
“You go back to your work, I’ll go call her myself.” Wen Yun said, then turned to walk toward the guest room. After two steps, she turned back and instructed, “I forgot Xiao Yu doesn’t have sportswear yet, Aunt Ge, could I trouble you to get my white tracksuit?”
Physical fitness was always her top priority. Since the wealthy family had excellent fitness facilities, she certainly couldn’t let the protagonist miss out.
Reaching the guest room door, Wen Yun knocked lightly: “Xiao Yu, are you awake?”
She didn’t wait long before she heard Ruan Yu reply, “Mm, I just woke up.”
“Do you want to come and see the gym with me?” Wen Yun asked.
Ruan Yu seemed surprised. “Can I go?!”
“Of course you can!” Wen Yun said with a smile. “This is your home, there’s nowhere you can’t go.”
“Then I’ll change right away!” Ruan Yu quickly agreed. “It might take five minutes…”
“Don’t rush yet, I asked Aunt Ge to get a tracksuit for you.” Wen Yun quickly interjected. “Take your time, I’ll wait for you in the living room.”
Taking advantage of this time, Wen Yun returned to the living room and sat down, opening the original novel to carefully check the subsequent plot.
There was only one important plot point today: at nine o’clock in the morning, the protagonist would go to Langying Foreign Language Academy, known as the “aristocratic school,” to take the transfer student entrance exam. After the exam, she would go to get measured for her uniform, which was merely a formality.
These matters had nothing to do with the original owner; the original text didn’t even feature the original owner, and the butler, Aunt Ge, accompanied the protagonist throughout.
But Wen Yun felt that since she intended to treat Ruan Yu as family, she should accompany her to the exam.
Furthermore, the exam lasted from nine in the morning until six in the evening. It was a long time, the weather was hot, and Ruan Yu was unfamiliar with the place. Even if the protagonist didn’t say anything, she would definitely feel lost and disappointed with only the butler accompanying her.
Ruan Yu was always efficient. She didn’t make Wen Yun wait too long. She finished washing up and walked toward her in the white tracksuit, greeting her with a smile, “Good morning, Yunyun.”
Wen Yun also returned the greeting. She originally planned to take her directly to the gym, but noticing Ruan Yu’s fringe that fell to her eyebrows, she hesitated, then decided to take her back to her own room first.
“Try to clip your fringe up from now on,” she told Ruan Yu, seating her in front of the vanity. She pulled open a drawer, picked out a simple yet elegant silver butterfly hairpin, parted the fringe to the side, and clipped Ruan Yu’s hair while explaining, “It looks more energetic this way, and you’re less likely to get acne from being sweaty.”
“I understand,” Ruan Yu replied softly, smiling at her. “Next time I’ll clip it myself, I won’t trouble Yunyun.”
“It’s no trouble at all, not one bit.” Her soft, obedient voice made Wen Yun happy. She quickly finished securing the strands and smoothed Ruan Yu’s hair. “All done. Let’s go.”
