The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 16

Jian Ying’an came back to her senses and realized that Qin Mianmian was asking about the person from just now.

The business card didn’t look fake, and having the confidence to tell them to go back and inform the adults meant he probably wasn’t a liar.

He was a person from the production team of that cute baby reality show.

He came to the mall, saw the lively and adorable Qin Mianmian, and wanted to invite her.

Jian Ying’an asked, “Then, Mianmian, do you want to be on the show?”

She was thinking about the remuneration. At this time, the payment had not been regulated, but Mianmian was just a small guest, so she probably wouldn’t earn much.

Most importantly, the Qin family would not allow Qin Mianmian to participate in filming a show.

Jian Ying’an understood this, but it didn’t mean she wasn’t still thinking about the payment. If she invested it into her company, hired more people, she could expand the company. Then, the entire city would rely on her company’s services.

There were many wealthy people here who needed housekeeping.

She habitually thought about the company, how to make money, how to expand, and how to eventually bring down the Qin family.

Jian Ying’an walked a short distance forward before realizing Mianmian hadn’t followed. Her heart panicked, and she quickly turned back. Fortunately, Qin Mianmian was just standing there thinking.

Qin Mianmian tilted her head and looked at Jian Ying’an with a little uncertainty: “Does Sister want me to participate?”

Jian Ying’an couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She said, “No, I don’t.”

How could she let Mianmian participate in that kind of show? She walked over and took Mianmian’s small hand again.

Qin Mianmian smiled brightly: “Then I won’t participate.”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

She felt like teasing her.

“What if I do want you to?”

Qin Mianmian pouted: “Then I’ll participate.”

She was too cute. Jian Ying’an rubbed the top of Qin Mianmian’s head.

Although she didn’t like it, if her sister wanted it, she would participate. Children can’t hide their feelings; what she showed was the unique tenderness of her age.

Qin Mianmian liked to think for others, but this was not good.

Jian Ying’an taught her: “If you don’t like it, don’t participate. No one can force you.”

Qin Mianmian mumbled in her sweet, childish voice: “But, if Sister likes it, I’ll like it too!”

She was serious, intending to correct Jian Ying’an’s perspective. Jian Ying’an just shook her head and took her back to the Qin family home.

To her surprise, Qin Mianmian was still thinking about this matter before going to sleep that night.

She peeked out from under the blanket and asked Jian Ying’an: “How can I participate?”

Qin Mianmian still remembered Jian Ying’an’s reaction after receiving the business card. She clearly looked like she wanted her to, just like how her mother would want her to practice the piano well.

Why wouldn’t her sister let her participate?

Qin Mianmian couldn’t figure it out. Her clear eyes stared at Jian Ying’an, trying to see right through her.

But what could a six-year-old child see? Her eyes started to feel sore from the effort.

Qin Mianmian was waiting for Jian Ying’an’s answer.

Jian Ying’an had no choice but to dispel her idea: “You can’t participate.”

Qin Mianmian pressed: “Why?”

“You clearly don’t like it, do you?”

“But you like it!”

Jian Ying’an didn’t know how to explain to a child. She put on a serious face, but because she was in a six-year-old’s body, it wasn’t very convincing. Not only was Qin Mianmian not scared, but she even dared to confront her.

Oh no, teaching the child to be so willful might not be a good thing.

Jian Ying’an said with distress: “I plan to go myself.”

Qin Mianmian blinked: “Sister is going herself?”

“Yes.”

“Then I definitely have to go! I want to accompany Sister!”

Jian Ying’an got a headache.

Qin Mianmian spoke with solemnity: “I’ll go with Sister, no matter what Sister does!”

Jian Ying’an was silent for a moment, then decided to use the perfunctory approach: “If there’s a chance, we’ll go together. You go to sleep first.”

Qin Mianmian closed her eyes and began to sleep, still half-believing.

Jian Ying’an called for Aunt Zhang: “There’s a show. If we participate, there’s a payment. You go and pretend to be my guardian.”

Aunt Zhang was no longer surprised by this child’s way of speaking.

Although she was small, only six years old, the money she helped Aunt Zhang earn was real. As an adult, being able to earn money was what mattered most: “Will the Qin couple agree?”

Jian Ying’an gave Aunt Zhang a look of reproach.

She asked a pointless question! If the Qin couple agreed, would she need Aunt Zhang to pretend to be the guardian?

She changed the subject: “Are you good at praising children?”

Aunt Zhang didn’t react right away.

Jian Ying’an said with difficulty: “Just… praise a child. When we go later, you just praise me, try your best to ‘market’ me to the production team, and I’ll handle the rest.”

If only Qin Mianmian could pretend to be her guardian, Jian Ying’an thought fancifully.

Qin Mianmian was excellent at praising people. She vividly remembered what happened at school… Qin Mianmian had praised her as being peerless, one of a kind.

Primary school students were easily convinced.

Besides Qin Mianmian, Jian Ying’an gained a group of small fans. The classmates enthusiastically followed behind her, just wanting to see how this omnipotent person lived.

She became an object of observation.

The only one who hadn’t joined was Shen Jinyu. Jian Ying’an thought about it and silently thanked him in her heart.

Sigh.

Jian Ying’an felt melancholic.

Arriving at the address on the business card, Aunt Zhang bought herself a formal suit for her “boss’s” image, looking quite presentable.

The staff led Jian Ying’an inside.

Who knew, they didn’t even look at her: “Where is the little girl who was with you that day?”

Jian Ying’an’s eyes narrowed.

Aunt Zhang guessed who the little girl was in her heart. She was startled. How could she let Qin Mianmian participate in this kind of show!

In a panic, Aunt Zhang started praising: “My… my child is so smart!”

However, Aunt Zhang’s own child wasn’t smart, so she could only start praising according to the standards of her neighbor’s child.

“She speaks English, can go out and buy groceries herself, and can play the harmonica! She’s… she’s simply a little genius!”

She praised very awkwardly, and her guilt was obvious.

Aunt Zhang’s voice got quieter and quieter. She had tried her best. It wasn’t her fault that she didn’t have a smart child to practice on beforehand.

The person shook his head regretfully: “But we were initially interested in the other child. She—”

He pointed at Jian Ying’an, about to say she wasn’t good enough.

But Jian Ying’an’s teary eyes stopped his words immediately.

Speaking so directly seemed too hurtful. She was just a child after all.

Jian Ying’an said: “Uncle, I really want to participate. I want to meet more friends.”

“My health isn’t very good, so I don’t know many people at school.”

“I can perform my talents! Please give me a chance, okay, Uncle?”

Jian Ying’an’s voice was clear and crisp, calling him ‘Uncle’ repeatedly.

The person was originally interested in Qin Mianmian, but her calls softened his heart. He could only agree to let Jian Ying’an try.

Jian Ying’an did as Aunt Zhang had mentioned, speaking a string of English and playing the harmonica.

The English was authentic London accent, with elegant pronunciation, and the harmonica was also played very well.

Aunt Zhang was stunned. She really knew how to play the harmonica?

Don’t daughters of wealthy families all learn piano, violin, and the like? Soon, Aunt Zhang remembered that Jian Ying’an was the recognized daughter who had grown up in a nanny’s home before the age of six.

Aunt Zhang’s emotions were complex. Jian Ying’an was truly too clever. She realized her earlier praise was too simple.

Jian Ying’an couldn’t run out to buy groceries right now, but she stood there calmly. After the performance, she proactively asked: “Uncle, is this, okay?”

She didn’t look shy. Why would she have no friends?

Was it because of poor health?

The person looked Jian Ying’an up and down and tacitly accepted that explanation: “Yes, we will notify you in a couple of days to sign the contract.”
