I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 91

“Isn’t she your biological daughter? Didn’t you keep her umbilical cord or hair, or anything like that?” The middle-aged man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. Relying solely on the supposed bloodline, the extent of what he could do was very limited.

“Umbilical cord or hair?” Li Hong spoke with a look of difficulty. “They were switched not long after birth. How could I have anything like that? However…”

“However what?” The middle-aged man was getting impatient. “Speak if you have something to say. Don’t waste my time.”

“I have something that belonged to Wen Yunqing. Do you need it?” Li Hong asked.

“Something that belonged to Wen Yunqing?” The middle-aged man’s brow moved, and the look on his face was hesitant. If I target Wen Yunqing, I should be successful, right? It should be, right?

“Yes, but it’s not with me; it’s with my mother. If Master needs it, I can go get it,” Li Hong said cautiously. The man in front of her clearly wasn’t a good person. If she angered him, she might lose her life at any moment.

She regretted coming back to the country if this was the outcome. She would have been better off staying abroad. Although the conditions weren’t great, at least she didn’t have to worry about losing her life at any moment.

The man hesitated for a moment. “Tell me the address, and I will send someone to retrieve it.”

“Okay, okay. It’s at…” Li Hong immediately rattled off the address, saying somewhat subserviently, “My mother has a bit of a mental problem. You guys just wait until she goes out, and then go straight into the house to look for it.”

On the other side, after washing her face, Wen Yimeng’s internal discomfort gradually faded. After casually settling her lunch, she happened to see a message that Liang You had sent in the roommate group chat.

Liang You: Zhang Pan and I plan to go shopping and watch a movie at the mall this afternoon. Do you guys want to join? @WenYunqing @WenYimeng

Wen Yimeng: Yunqing is busy. Where are you planning to watch? Near the school?

Liang You: Over on Sunshine Street. It’s not far from the school, about a twenty-minute taxi ride. Yimeng, do you want to come along?

Wen Yimeng: Sure. Send me the location, and I’ll take a taxi over now.

Liang You: Okay, I’ll book the tickets first. Do you want milk tea or juice?

Wen Yimeng: Juice is fine. Not too sweet, please.

After receiving Liang You’s location, Wen Yimeng opened the ride-hailing app to book a car. In fact, when Father Wen bought the house, he also bought two parking spaces. But since cars couldn’t drive onto the campus and the surrounding facilities were very comprehensive, the couple hadn’t bothered to buy a car.

It was the weekend, and the roads were somewhat congested. However, Wen Yimeng was lucky. The driver who accepted the order was a very skilled veteran who expertly navigated through traffic, arriving five minutes earlier than expected.

“Yimeng, we’re here!” As soon as she got out of the car, Wen Yimeng saw Liang You and Zhang Pan waiting at the entrance.

“Here you go, your juice,” Liang You handed the juice to Wen Yimeng. “The movie doesn’t start for another half hour, so let’s slowly browse from here up to the seventh floor.”

Wen Yimeng nodded, holding her small bag, and slowly followed behind Liang You.

Liang You had chosen a relatively ordinary mall, where the prices of the goods were average—neither too high nor too low. They were mostly light luxury brands.

“Oh, isn’t this Zhang Pan? How do you have money to go shopping?” After they reached the women’s clothing area on the third floor, a few ill-intentioned people walked over. They were dressed gorgeously and looked at Zhang Pan with disdain.

“You can’t say that. Zhang Pan actually got into Jing University. I heard the school gave her a lot of money, so she’s no longer the poor student she used to be,” the first minion chimed in.

At this moment, Liang You and Wen Yimeng had both gone into the fitting rooms to change clothes, so Zhang Pan was alone. Seeing the three spiteful women, she pretended she hadn’t heard anything and simply stood still, waiting.

“Zhang Pan, I remember your family owed a lot of money, didn’t they? Did you just never pay it back?” the second minion said. “But these clothes you’re wearing don’t look bad either. Did you really keep all that money?”

“Alright, stop talking. She only owes three million yuan. She can probably pay it off if she works hard for ten years after graduation,” the leading girl said, finding it boring that Zhang Pan wasn’t reacting at all.

Compared to me, she’s just a little pauper with no money and no power. Why does she dare to ignore me?

“Zhang Pan, come look. Does this color suit me?” Liang You changed clothes quickly. As soon as she came out of the fitting room, she walked toward Zhang Pan.

Zhang Pan seriously examined the clothes on Liang You and commented, “It looks very good. This color complements your skin tone.”

“Hehe, I thought so too!” Liang You didn’t notice the trio of mockers and looked very satisfied as she checked herself in the mirror.

“Hey, are you Zhang Pan’s classmate?” The second minion was unwilling to have her existence ignored and took the initiative to step forward. “You need to be careful. Zhang Pan isn’t an honest person. Be careful your things don’t get stolen by her~”

“Excuse me, classmate, do you know what major we are studying?” Wen Yimeng stepped out of the fitting room wearing her newly chosen small suit, looking at the second minion with a cold face. “If you speak nonsense without evidence like this, I can sue you for defamation.”

“W-what major are you in?” The second minion was startled by Wen Yimeng’s presence and subconsciously took a step back.

After recovering, she felt ashamed and stiffened her neck, looking at Wen Yimeng. “Why do I have no evidence? If you don’t believe me, go ask Zhang Pan’s former classmates; they all know Zhang Pan stole things from her roommate.”

“Let me introduce ourselves. We are Zhang Pan’s roommates and also her classmates. We are studying law, and we are currently studying the maximum possible sentence for defamation,” Liang You said with a smile. “Do you want to test our skill level?”

The second minion subconsciously looked at the leading girl. Among the three of them, she was the one who had the deepest conflict with Zhang Pan. Not only was she suppressed academically, but the person she liked also liked Zhang Pan.

“So, you’re Jing University students. No wonder you’re so aggressive,” the leading girl sneered. “I was just being kind by reminding you. If you don’t believe me, then fine.”

“By the way, our school also has an online forum (tieba). You can check it out when you have time,” the leading girl said with a sly smile. “There’s quite a lot of interesting stuff recorded there.”

Zhang Pan clenched her fists after hearing this; her face was quite unpleasant.

“Remember, don’t lend her any money, or you’ll be her creditor for life,” the leading girl finished her sentence and smiled, intending to leave.

“Apologize. You had better apologize to Zhang Pan right now,” Wen Yimeng’s face hardened. They were very clear about Zhang Pan’s character; she couldn’t possibly be the kind of person who would steal. As for borrowing money, Zhang Pan hadn’t mentioned it at all, as she had always earned money through her part-time jobs.

“What if I don’t?” the leading girl was somewhat disdainful, looking unconcerned. “What can you do to me? Are Jing University students going to hit me in public?”

“How can you speak so excessively?” Liang You couldn’t bear it anymore. “We won’t do anything to you, but I will expose you online!”

“Then I’ll expose Zhang Pan’s situation online,” the leading girl looked indifferent. “I haven’t done anything wrong, after all.”

“You…” Liang You’s fighting power was average, and her good upbringing prevented her from saying anything too harsh.

“Then go ahead and try it. If you leave right now, I guarantee that you will be very unlucky, very unlucky, for the next month,” Wen Yimeng warned.

The leading girl scoffed dismissively. “Oh, I’m so scared! Hahaha!”

Wen Yimeng did not stop the girl. Instead, she asked Zhang Pan for information about the leading girl and quietly noted it down, preparing to ask Wen Yunqing to use a Misfortune Talisman (Daomeifu) on her when she returned.

Skipping past this unpleasant interlude, the three girls each carried a drink and ordered a super-sized double portion of mixed fries and popcorn, which was held by Zhang Pan, who sat in the middle.

However, quite unluckily, just as they found their seats and sat down, the three girls from earlier also walked over and sat down directly one row below the trio.

“Oh ho, what a coincidence. We meet again,” the leading girl looked at them and smiled.

“Ugh, why do we have to sit in front of Zhang Pan? How unlucky,” the second minion tsk-tsked several times before reluctantly sitting down.

Wen Yimeng’s eyes lit up. The leading girl was sitting right in front of her. This was truly a perfect alignment of time, place, and people; she wouldn’t even need to ask Yunqing for help!

Opening the small crossbody bag hanging on her, Wen Yimeng found a Misfortune Talisman among a large pile of talismans. She quietly activated it and, while the leading girl was distracted, stuck it onto her back.

“Cough, cough, cough—” The Misfortune Talisman’s effect was instantaneous. As soon as Wen Yimeng stuck it on, the girl immediately choked on her own saliva.

“Sister Miao, are you alright? Do you want some water?” The first minion quickly pulled out a bottle of water and professionally unscrewed the cap.

“I’m fine,” Sister Miao felt a bit embarrassed. She took a sip of the water from the first minion.

“Cough—cough—” Sister Miao started coughing even more violently, and the water in her mouth sprayed out.

“Sister Miao, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the water?” The first minion was nervous.

Sister Miao waved her hand, returned the water to the first minion, and frowned. “I’m fine. Watch the movie.”

“Classmate, it’s still not too late to apologize now,” Wen Yimeng’s voice appeared from behind. “Otherwise, you will continue to be unlucky.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You say I’m unlucky, so I’m unlucky? Who do you think you are!” Sister Miao said assertively, but she was starting to panic internally.

What is going on? Getting choked on saliva was one thing, but how did she choke again immediately after drinking water? Was it true that if she didn’t apologize, she would be unlucky?

Wen Yimeng smiled but said nothing, casually picking up two pieces of popcorn from Zhang Pan’s lap and popping them into her mouth.

She hadn’t been joking with her warning just now. If this Sister Miao stubbornly refused to admit her mistake, she would indeed become increasingly unlucky. Although the Misfortune Talisman she just used didn’t last for a month, keeping her unlucky for a week was certainly no problem.

Thinking this, Wen Yimeng put another fry into her mouth. At that moment, the movie’s opening credits began to play, quickly drawing her attention away.

Ah, it would be great if Yunqing had come with her. Then someone would be feeding her popcorn instead of having to grab it herself and get her fingers all dirty like now.
