I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 1

Mid-October marked the season of mature rice in the south.

Wen Yunqing  had to stand up and rest after bending down to cut the rice three or four times. She would set the rice she cut aside, then repeat the previous action.

Is this what it feels like to exercise and sweat? If this body weren’t so weak, this might actually be a decent life experience, Wen Yunqing complained in her heart while working.

Just three days ago, Wen Yunqing was in another world, a person who was supposed to save the world.

Unfortunately, just as Wen Yunqing was about to achieve a breakthrough, the tribulation arrived first. As a person who had borne responsibility since birth, Wen Yunqing heroically sacrificed herself for the cause, regaining a sliver of hope for the world.

Wen Yunqing never expected that she would have a chance to live again, let alone become a character in a book who shared her name and had a three-tenths similar appearance.

Oh, and the original Wen Yunqing was quite pitiful. She did not know what went wrong, but the original host died three nights ago.

If the thunder calamity hadn’t sent her soul body over, perhaps today’s Wen Yunqing would already be buried in the soil or cremated and placed in an urn.

“Wen Yunqing, someone is looking for you at the village entrance!” The village secretary, who had only recently taken office, hurried over, his face unable to hide a big smile. “Your parents sent people to take you back. They said they want to bring you to the city to live! You won’t have to worry about tuition fees anymore!”

Sent people to take me back? Wen Yunqing instantly became alert. The melodramatic plot she was anticipating was about to begin!

Wen Yunqing set the sickle aside, glanced at the mud on her hands, and wiped it twice directly on her short-sleeved shirt. She cooperatively feigned surprise, “Really? They are taking me back?”

Looking at the girl, who wore an almost crew cut, the village secretary nodded heavily, “Mhm. Come on, I’ll take you.”

Wen Yunqing followed the village secretary and quickly saw a group of people standing at the village entrance. Villagers were gathered around a luxurious car, discussing quietly.

The young village secretary, who was not very familiar with the village’s situation, was still happy for Wen Yunqing: “Yunqing, these are your parents…”

“You are Wen Yunqing, right? I am the Madam’s chauffeur, Liu Yun.” The person who stepped out of the luxury car interrupted the village secretary.

As he spoke, Liu Yun began sizing up Wen Yunqing, the Wen family’s future second young lady.

A crew cut similar to a boy’s, a short-sleeved shirt stained with mud, knee-length shorts, faded black canvas shoes, tanned skin, and… a height similar to his own.

If Wen Yunqing’s facial features had not looked familiar to Liu Yun, he would not have believed that the person before him, who looked so much like a boy from the countryside, was the biological daughter of their Chairman and Madam.

“Wait, what do you mean? You are not Yunqing’s parents…” The village secretary was stunned; the situation seemed to be slightly different from what he had imagined.

“Our second young lady was swapped at birth. This time, I’m here to take the second young lady to meet her biological parents,” Liu Yun explained, conveniently taking out a document and handing it to Wen Yunqing.

“This is the paternity test report, identified using a sample from your school physical exam,” Liu Yun said. “The Chairman and Madam are waiting for you, Second Young Lady, to return.”

Wen Yunqing took the file, opened it in front of Liu Yun, and seriously read the paternity test results.

“After testing, the probability of Wen Deming  and Wen Yunqing being father and daughter is 99.997%. The relationship is confirmed as biological father and daughter.” Wen Yunqing read the result out loud.

She then asked, “Wen Deming, is that my biological father?”

“Yes, Second Young Lady. There are many people here; if you have other questions, why don’t you get in the car first, and I will answer your questions on the way?” Liu Yun’s brows furrowed slightly, seemingly displeased with Wen Yunqing’s behavior just now.

Wen Yunqing folded the report twice, then put it into her shorts pocket. “Wait a moment, I need to go back and explain the situation to my grandmother.”

“Alright,” Liu Yun asked, “Does the Second Young Lady require my escort?”

Wen Yunqing shook her head, “No need.”

Following the route in her memory, Wen Yunqing returned to the small tiled house where she had stayed for three days.

Glancing over, she easily spotted an elderly woman sitting at the doorway, knitting with squinted eyes. The scene looked very warm.

“Grandma, I’m back.” Wen Yunqing lowered her voice to sound like a boy.

“Yunqing’s back. Are you hungry? Grandma will go cook for you.” The elderly woman quickly stood up after hearing Wen Yunqing’s voice.

“No need,” Wen Yunqing stepped forward to support the elderly woman and spoke directly, “Grandma, someone has come to take me away. They were sent by my biological parents.”

The elderly woman froze in place, a flash of madness crossing her eyes before quickly returning to calmness. “Yunqing, will you come back?”

“Yes, I will.” Although Wen Yunqing’s reply was quick, she did not truly know what attitude she should adopt toward the elderly woman before her.

From her memory, the grandmother had given the original Wen Yunqing the opportunity to live and go to school, but the prerequisite was that she had to pretend to be a boy and maintain the image of an obedient grandson.

The elderly woman looked carefully at Wen Yunqing, a flicker of understanding in her eyes. She held Wen Yunqing’s hand, which still had some mud spots, with her wrinkled hands. “Good child, if you want to go, then go.”

“Mhm,” Wen Yunqing nodded. “Grandma, you don’t need to worry about my tuition fees anymore. You can use that money to hire someone to take care of the fields.”

“Also, I will have someone bring the medicine to you. Remember to take it on time.”

The elderly woman nodded, then led Wen Yunqing by the hand into the house. She found a slightly dilapidated wooden box and placed it into Wen Yunqing’s hand.

“A passing Taoist priest gave this to you when you were little,” the elderly woman said, her eyes showing reluctance. “Keep it safe.”

“Okay.” Wen Yunqing took the small wooden box and felt it. Upon realizing it was just an ordinary jade pendant, she immediately shoved it into her pocket.

Besides the small wooden box, Wen Yunqing also had a small slip of paper in her hand when she left, with a string of numbers written on it—the landline number of the village store owner.

Wen Yunqing silently recited the numbers three times. After confirming she remembered them, she threw the paper aside. But after taking two steps forward, she turned back, squatted down, picked the slip of paper up again, and put it in her pocket.

Liu Yun’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain when he saw that Wen Yunqing had only changed her clothes and hadn’t taken anything else with her.

Sure enough, he thought, after finding out her biological parents are rich, she is eager to sever ties with this place.

Wen Yunqing got into the car. The vehicle stopped in front of a five-story villa in the evening.

“Second Young Lady, this is your home from now on,” Liu Yun opened the car door and stood aside, saying, “The Chairman and Madam are inside.”

Wen Yunqing got out of the car. Seeing the large villa before her, she couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.

Is this where I will live from now on? As the true heiress, they probably aren’t eagerly awaiting my return, right?

Before Liu Yun could notice, Wen Yunqing steadied her expression, nodded calmly, and walked inside.

“Good child, you finally…” Just as she walked into the living room, a fashionably dressed woman came out and opened her arms toward Wen Yunqing. When she saw Wen Yunqing, who was dressed like a boy, she paused her steps. “You have suffered; let Mother have a good look at you.”

To be honest, the other party’s clumsy acting made Wen Yunqing want to laugh.

“You, you are my biological mother?” Wen Yunqing pretended to be very surprised, looking at Mother Wen with eyes full of longing for a mother.

“It is all my fault. If I hadn’t failed to look after you properly, you wouldn’t have been wronged outside for so many years,” Mother Wen said, withdrawing her outstretched hands and covering her mouth instead. Tears immediately rolled out of her eyes.

“It’s not your fault; I was the one who misjudged people back then,” Father Wen, dressed in a suit and tie, stood beside Mother Wen. He put his arm around his wife’s shoulders, holding her close and comforting her gently.

Wen Yunqing was somewhat disappointed. Shouldn’t this reunion involve three people? Why was she getting no lines! How annoying! She had been anticipating this scene the entire way.

About five minutes later, Father Wen finally finished comforting the woman in his arms and turned some attention to his biological daughter.

“We will properly make up for the shortcomings of these years. You and Yimeng are both my children,” Father Wen said, taking a black card out of his wallet. “Here is one million yuan. Keep it for now. You can buy anything you want with it.”

“Thank you.” Wen Yunqing swiftly pulled the card from his hand and asked, “Excuse me, what is the password?”

Father Wen stared at his empty hand, momentarily confused. “The password is six sixes.”

“Very well, thank you,” Wen Yunqing thanked him politely, unable to suppress a surge of excitement in her heart.

According to the plot development, the fake heiress would definitely become wary upon seeing this, worrying that her parents would be stolen, and then employ a series of schemes against her…

Oh, right, where is the fake heiress? It should be her time to appear now, shouldn’t it?

“Are you… my sister?” A girl in a white dress walked out timidly from behind Mother Wen, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Wen Yunqing.

Wen Yunqing looked toward the direction the voice came from. Long, slightly curled hair was neatly tied into a ponytail. She wore a simple, well-fitting white dress, had fair skin, pure features, and combined with her tearful eyes, she was truly…

“Yimeng, why did you come out?” Mother Wen said somewhat worriedly. “Your fever hasn’t gone down yet!”

Father Wen chimed in, “Hurry back and lie down. You two sisters don’t need to meet right this moment.”

“Sister, I’m sorry. I stole your position. I should leave…” Wen Yimeng  said pitiably, covertly assessing the person before her.

Is this the true heiress? Why does she look so much like a boy? When it comes to acting pitiful, I should be better than her, right?

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Wen Yunqing snatched Father Wen’s line, taking three long steps forward. She hugged Wen Yimeng and looked at her with deep affection. “Yimeng,” she declared, “You clearly are my little treasure; how could I let you leave!”

Oh, my heavens, this kind of pitiful and delicate little white flower is truly my heart’s favorite!

Wen Yunqing cast aside the melodramatic plot she loved to read and spoke with great sincerity, “If you ask me to, I can leave right now.”
