The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 14

Madam Qin stated with certainty, “This matter is settled.”

She finished speaking in a level tone, disregarding Mr. Qin’s opinion, believing her husband’s judgment had been seriously lacking lately. She trusted Butler Lai would understand her… Madam Qin went to find Butler Lai.

He was old, and no matter how energetic he appeared, it was impossible for him to serve the Qin family around the clock as he did when he was younger.

Butler Lai was resting in his room.

Madam Qin mentioned to him what had transpired in the living room.

Having changed out of his butler suit, Butler Lai was wearing only a white shirt, exuding the elegance of old age. He stood up and quietly listened to Madam Qin’s words.

Butler Lai said, “The Madam thinks very highly of Miss Jian.”

Madam Qin suddenly looked at Butler Lai.

Butler Lai continued, “Then, does the young lady need a name change? The name Jian Ying’an was given to her daughter by the nanny, but the Qin family no longer has the nanny’s daughter.”

Madam Qin clenched her fingers. “We’ll talk about it later.”

Madam Qin felt extremely conflicted about her daughter now. She had planned to go back to rest, but was inexplicably drawn to Jian Ying’an’s room door.

She knocked twice, but there was no answer.

She pushed the door open directly. Inside, it was no longer the pink seen in Mianmian’s room, but a terrifyingly monotonous white and gray.

Even the cold-natured Qin couple wouldn’t choose such decor, which indicated that Jian Ying’an didn’t consider the Qin house a home at all, viewing it merely as a temporary place to stay.

Jian Ying’an was not in the room.

Madam Qin’s eyes showed no other emotion as she turned and returned to her bedroom to rest.

On the weekend, Jian Ying’an secretly slipped out.

Lately, the Qin family had been much warmer towards her, unlike the indifference of her previous life, which ironically hindered her path to making money.

It wasn’t easy to meet Aunt Zhang, Jian Ying’an sighed, listening to Aunt Zhang report on their recent success.

Starting from twenty yuan, it turned into eight thousand, and now ten thousand—all in just half a month. As Aunt Zhang recounted it, she was terrified.

Making money was too easy!

After finishing, Aunt Zhang secretly glanced at Jian Ying’an, noticing her lack of reaction to the ten thousand yuan.

She even seemed to think it was a bit too little.

During this time, she followed Jian Ying’an’s instructions and went to various places, discovering that Jian Ying’an seemed to possess the ability to predict the future; those lucrative opportunities really did appear!

She negotiated according to Jian Ying’an’s words, and the money in her hand kept doubling, so much so that Aunt Zhang was completely stunned.

As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, her ability to make money was truly different.

Jian Ying’an was only six years old, yet she, who was much older, felt embarrassed calling herself “Aunt.”

Harboring hope for the future, Aunt Zhang asked, “What should we do next?”

Jian Ying’an truly disliked the small amount of money; if it were up to her, it would definitely be more than ten thousand, perhaps around twenty thousand.

But for Aunt Zhang, this performance was quite good.

In her previous life, Jian Ying’an studied a lot of business knowledge, including early methods of making money, to bring down the Qin family. Many late bloomers were able to start from scratch, thanks to opportunities.

What Jian Ying’an was doing was referencing those opportunities and having Aunt Zhang take the risk.

With the first pot of gold, the real work began!

She had to earn enough money to surpass the Qin family and take Mianmian away! She couldn’t stop for a moment! Jian Ying’an already had a plan in mind: “Start a company.”

Opportunities couldn’t always be present.

To make money, they needed to start a company and engage in legitimate business.

Aunt Zhang had never imagined she could start a company in her lifetime. She widened her eyes, “We only have ten thousand now. Can we start a company?”

Jian Ying’an nodded.

“Of course, we can.”

Starting a company—that meant becoming a big boss!

Thinking about her husband leaving early and returning late due to work, the large fee her child needed for school soon, and the various household expenses, Aunt Zhang couldn’t help but feel tempted.

She looked at the ten thousand in her card and chose to believe Jian Ying’an’s absurd idea.

At worst, she’d secretly keep one or two thousand, so the loss wouldn’t be too bad! But after listening to Jian Ying’an, she realized that Jian Ying’an didn’t plan to keep a single penny of the ten thousand!

Every single penny was allocated clearly, leaving no room for retreat!

Jian Ying’an clicked her tongue; if they had more than ten thousand, she would have even more ideas.

Aunt Zhang was a servant for the Qin family, and her housekeeping skills were extraordinary. Jian Ying’an utilized this point to have Aunt Zhang open a housekeeping company.

Don’t underestimate housekeeping; its money-making ability is not weak. In the future, some in-home housekeeping services charge thousands per hour, but since no one has discovered this path yet, Jian Ying’an was determined to earn this money!

But this was too slow, Jian Ying’an gritted her teeth.

The Qin family was a behemoth; small ventures would never catch up.

Ultimately, they only had ten thousand in their hands…

Jian Ying’an explained every step of the plan clearly, ensuring Aunt Zhang wrote it down.

Aunt Zhang was still hesitating: “Are you sure we shouldn’t save some money? What if…”

She was already satisfied with earning ten thousand; following Jian Ying’an’s three-seven split, she could save thirty thousand, and earning thirty thousand in half a month was more profitable than working for the Qin family.

Aunt Zhang was a little timid.

Jian Ying’an narrowed her eyes and earnestly advised, “The most important thing in making money is courage.”

Courage, Aunt Zhang repeated the word under her breath, nodding hesitantly.

Only then did Jian Ying’an prepare to leave.

Lately, the butler had been watching strictly, making it difficult for her to sneak out. She was grateful that Mianmian had covered for her. Jian Ying’an needed to hurry to avoid being discovered.

Just as she stood up, the doorknob outside began to turn.

Aunt Zhang quickly hid the card in her hand. It was Aunt Zhang’s mother-in-law returning.

The mother-in-law carried a few bags of vegetables. Seeing Aunt Zhang, her brows furrowed in displeasure: “Why aren’t you helping! How could I have such a disappointing daughter-in-law? No wonder you were fired by the Qin family.”

Aunt Zhang forced a smile and went over to help.

Her mother-in-law continued to grumble endlessly: “Why haven’t you gone out to find a job? I don’t know what you’ve been doing this month, wasting time!”

The mother-in-law saw Jian Ying’an in the living room.

Lately, she had been well-fed, giving her a healthy complexion, and combined with her inherent temperament, no one would underestimate her anymore. While she wasn’t as delicate and fair as Qin Mianmian, it was clear she was wealthy and distinguished.

Aunt Zhang came from a poor family; it was impossible for her relatives to have money!

Aunt Zhang’s mother-in-law thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up: “Are you the young lady from the Qin family?”

She came forward eagerly: “Why did you fire my daughter-in-law? She’s capable and good with children. Did you specifically come to visit her?”

The mother-in-law smiled broadly.

“Did you come here to ask my daughter-in-law to go back to work?”

Aunt Zhang stood behind her mother-in-law, pleading with her eyes for Jian Ying’an to say nothing.

Jian Ying’an looked at her. “Yes.”

Aunt Zhang couldn’t voice her difficulty.

Jian Ying’an couldn’t understand what she was afraid of: “Aunt Zhang will be in charge of taking care of me from now on. Everything she does is at my command.”

At such a young age, the word command was said lightly, naturally carrying the superiority of the upper class, not taking their family into account.

It was as if her presence was a form of charity.

Jian Ying’an played the part successfully; Aunt Zhang’s mother-in-law believed her: “Good! Good! If you have any requests in the future, just say so!”

Aunt Zhang: “…”

Jian Ying’an continued: “You better not delay Aunt Zhang in carrying out my tasks.”

Aunt Zhang’s mother-in-law: “Fine, no problem!”

Jian Ying’an asked Aunt Zhang to put down what she was holding and step outside. Standing outside the door, confirming no one could hear, Jian Ying’an coldly reminded her: “You must become tougher.”

“If you start a company and need to manage people, who can you manage acting like this?”

Honestly, Jian Ying’an was not very satisfied with Aunt Zhang as a partner.

If there were other options right now, Jian Ying’an wouldn’t have given her a hand. If she could do it, fine; if not, she’d find someone else!

Jian Ying’an moved her gaze away in annoyance.

Aunt Zhang still maintained her submissive manner when facing her mother-in-law: “If you say I’m still working for the Qin family, what about my salary…”

Jian Ying’an was stunned: “Don’t tell me you still have to hand over your salary?”

Aunt Zhang quickly explained: “It’s not that bad, but I have to pay half of the household expenses.”

Jian Ying’an: “Your family spends over ten thousand a month and still eats vegetables?”

Aunt Zhang: “…”

This child kept her strictly managed.

Jian Ying’an looked at the sky: “I have to go back. Don’t worry about your family for now. If the housekeeping company cannot be opened smoothly, I will simply replace you.”

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang finally made up her mind.

She thought that Jian Ying’an could help her earn ten thousand in half a month, so even if the company lost money, there would be a chance to earn another ten thousand!

She was a young lady from the Qin family; her pocket money alone was more than that, so no wonder she looked down on this amount of money.

Following Jian Ying’an was completely safe!

Thinking this, Aunt Zhang secretly scrutinized Jian Ying’an. She was fired because she had a moment of softness towards Jian Ying’an, but looking at her now, Jian Ying’an seemed to be living quite well in the Qin family.

She had gained a little weight on her face, making her features more defined and beautiful.

She was, after all, their biological child; they wouldn’t be so cold-hearted.

Aunt Zhang then thought of Madam Qin. The more she looked, the more she felt that the mother and daughter looked so much alike, and she would definitely become as glamorous as Madam Qin in the future.

She just hoped Jian Ying’an would retain her current disposition and not become like Madam Qin…

Aunt Zhang felt she was overthinking.

No matter how much Jian Ying’an talked about the housekeeping company, Aunt Zhang still lacked confidence and needed to focus on the future company. Aunt Zhang felt momentarily dazed—a company…

To experience such things in life—what glory! It was so far out of reach for the Aunt Zhang of before.

Because of Jian Ying’an, all of this was placed before her, requiring only one step forward.

Aunt Zhang smiled: “I’ll listen to you.”
