The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 18

Jian Ying’an never quite understood what children were thinking.

She watched the Qin family busy themselves, preparing ingredients enthusiastically, with a joyful atmosphere permeating the air above and below. The perpetrator of all this fuss was none other than Shen Jinyu!

Her expression darkened. The last time Shen Jinyu ran into her, she hadn’t taken it seriously because she was certain that with Shen Jinyu’s mind, he wouldn’t be able to figure out what she was doing!

She just hadn’t expected it!

He sent people to investigate her!

If the investigation was about Jian Ying’an’s little side hustles for money, Jian Ying’an wouldn’t care; she naturally had ways to deal with it.

The problem was, this person was investigating her self-recommendation to the show production team!

And that was not all! This person thought that Mianmian was the one participating, and Jian Ying’an was just helping to keep an eye on things!

Then this guy rushed in, bringing investment with him!

Now, Shen Jinyu was here at the Qin family’s house to show off. Jian Ying’an heard the person behind him say, “Young Master has recently joined a cute baby program called Cutie Pies, Charge Up 7. He said he hopes to grow and improve on the show.”

Improvement my foot.

Jian Ying’an couldn’t stand it and wanted to use Qin Mianmian to cleanse her eyes.

Only Mianmian was her soul-soothing balm. She watched Qin Mianmian, wearing a little dress, skip and hop toward her, unconcerned with the abnormal atmosphere of the Qin family, caring only about Jian Ying’an.

Qin Mianmian ignored Shen Jinyu, who was standing to the side, and secretly told Jian Ying’an, “Sister, I don’t have to practice the piano today!”

Her voice was very low, and her appearance was playful and cute.

Jian Ying’an hugged her, and Qin Mianmian obediently nestled in Jian Ying’an’s arms.

This was blatant favoritism.

Qin Mianmian didn’t care why the Qin family was bustling; she only knew that she didn’t have to practice the piano today and could spend time with Jian Ying’an.

Not eating a small cake was fine too, even if it was just a walk in the garden.

She loved her sister the most, and every minute, every second spent with her sister, was especially meaningful!

Just as Ye Zhou had said, the two were inseparable, their relationship tightly connected.

Forming an aura that others could not break.

The occasionally passing maid would smile knowingly, feeling that since Jian Ying’an came to the Qin family, the young miss was happier than before.

Full of inexhaustible vitality, clinging to her sister all day long, constantly wanting to cuddle.

Qin Mianmian pressed against Jian Ying’an’s arm: “Sister, who came?”

Shen Jinyu, sitting across from them, couldn’t smile.

Why, why, why did Qin Mianmian only have eyes for Jian Ying’an! Shen Jinyu was about to throw a tantrum when his eye caught Jian Ying’an making a shushing gesture.

It was as if she was saying: if you say one more word, I’ll kill you later.

Shen Jinyu felt threatened.

He was both aggrieved and scared: “Mianmian, I joined a show. Will you come with me?”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

This was what was annoying her. Shen Jinyu thought Mianmian was going, so he followed suit, and when the Qin couple found out, after much deliberation, they would also let Mianmian participate.

It was clear from the Qin family’s welcoming reaction to Shen Jinyu.

The Shen family was very important to the Qin family.

The Qin family was wealthy, with a century of accumulation, but compared to the Shen family, they were slightly inferior.

The Shen family was an evergreen tree.

A marriage alliance between the two families would be very beneficial.

Jian Ying’an held Qin Mianmian’s hand. Her lips moved; she really wanted to tell Mianmian all this, but the moment their eyes met, Jian Ying’an gave up.

Qin Mianmian’s eyes were clean and innocent; how could she understand?

She was only six years old.

Jian Ying’an suddenly felt a little anxious; she wanted to stay with Mianmian as she grew up, and yet she also wanted her to grow up quickly.

When she was reborn, she thought the Qin family would be good to Mianmian, so she relaxed. Upon returning to the Qin family, she realized she had relaxed too soon, and it was a good thing she decided to come back.

A different perspective from her previous life allowed her to discover more.

The Qin couple’s goodness toward Mianmian was traceable.

The reason for being good to Mianmian was too shallow; only in her previous life, when her eyes were blinded by hatred, had she failed to see it.

The Qin family molded Qin Mianmian into a perfect image: ladylike, quiet, which Shen Jinyu liked very much.

Yes, Shen Jinyu liked Qin Mianmian from beginning to end.

Therefore, for the marriage alliance with the Shen family, the Qin family would only choose to be good to Mianmian.

It was all about mutual benefit.

Jian Ying’an pondered how to plan and how much time it would take to allow Mianmian to live the life she wanted.

But right now, there were immediate concerns.

To foster a relationship with the Shen family, the Qin couple would not hesitate long before choosing to let Mianmian participate too. Given Mianmian’s personality, she would agree.

Jian Ying’an: It’s a good thing they couldn’t guess that I had already gone to recommend myself.

At the same time, what would be bad was that if the Qin family discovered she had recommended herself to record a program they looked down upon, she would be scolded again.

Jian Ying’an let out a long breath: “Mianmian, agree.”

Qin Mianmian replied without hesitation: “Okay!”

She didn’t even ask Jian Ying’an what she was agreeing to; whatever her sister asked her to do, she would be willing!

After agreeing, only as an afterthought, Qin Mianmian turned to ask Shen Jinyu: “What did you just say? I didn’t quite hear it.”

Her eyes and tone were as innocent as could be.

Shen Jinyu couldn’t get angry: “It’s, it’s just, can you join the program with me?”

Qin Mianmian tilted her head: “But I plan to go with Sister.”

Jian Ying’an suppressed a smile and reminded her: “Do you remember that person from last time?”

Last time?

Children are forgetful, and several days had passed, plus she had been busy practicing the piano lately.

But she would not forget anything related to Jian Ying’an; she just had to recall… Qin Mianmian quickly remembered that the person from last time seemed to be talking about a program.

Qin Mianmian clapped her hands, suddenly enlightened.

So, Sister still hoped for her to participate in the program, and even after so many days, she was still asking about it.

Oh, Sister was too reserved. She had already said that as long as Sister liked it!

Qin Mianmian showed a big smile. She had already agreed to join the show with her sister, so she could only refuse Shen Jinyu: “I want to go with my sister, so I can’t go with you~”

Shen Jinyu was stunned: “Then, what about me?”

Whatever you like.

Jian Ying’an thought coldly.

Jian Ying’an noticed the Qin couple’s figures appearing at the door and reminded Qin Mianmian to stand straight, not to lean softly on her, at least until the Qin couple were gone.

Qin Mianmian unwillingly stood properly.

She noticed one thing: as long as her parents were around, Sister wasn’t as good to her.

She hated her parents…

Of course, this dislike wouldn’t last long. Qin Mianmian stepped forward to greet them.

The Qin couple certainly wouldn’t be stingy with their affection at this moment. They praised her a little, and then their smiles became even friendlier: “Jinyu came to play with Mianmian.”

Shen Jinyu politely stood up; his mood not very good due to the previous refusal.

His emotions showed on his face, causing the Qin couple to exchange glances, and finally, they decided that Mrs. Qin should step forward.

Mrs. Qin put away her usual distant demeanor, showing a level of care she didn’t necessarily have even for her own child: “What’s wrong, Jinyu? Unhappy?”

Shen Jinyu looked at Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian.

Jian Ying’an immediately knew this person was about to cause trouble!

She was just like a background board standing in the Qin house, but because of that look from Shen Jinyu, she became the focus of much attention.

Mrs. Qin looked over, and Jian Ying’an clearly saw her frowning.
