The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 2

Jian Ying’an opened her eyes.

She was sitting in a car, the driver in front was silent. Jian Ying’an looked around and asked, “Where are we going?”

The voice she produced was the tender one of a child, but the tone was that of an adult’s maturity.

Is this her voice? Jian Ying’an placed her hand in front of her mouth, her eyes wide with terror. She hurriedly looked at herself in the rearview mirror and found that the person in the mirror was about six years old, pale and thin, with hair like dry straw.

This is—

She asked the driver again, “Are we going to the Qin family?”

The driver paused for a moment before saying with pity, “Yes, we are.”

Jian Ying’an suspected she was dreaming.

She looked out the car window, confirming that she had been reborn to the day she was brought back. She was a little anxious. At this moment, is Qin Mianmian still alive?

This is great, this is great.

She felt very fortunate, and then—

“Stop the car.”

Jian Ying’an said flatly.

She wasn’t going back to the Qin family.

Even if she had to wander, as long as she didn’t return to the Qin family, Qin’s parents and Qin Hang would treat Qin Mianmian well, and she would live a happy life without Jian Ying’an.

There wouldn’t be a devil named Jian Ying’an to destroy everything she had.

She trusted the Qin family on this point, so Jian Ying’an wanted to get out of the car.

The car did not stop and continued to drive forward.

The driver looked at the small, thin girl with sympathy.

She was the eldest daughter of the Qin family, finally brought back, able to escape her previous poverty, but she had been so tormented by that nanny that she lacked the courage to go home.

That nanny ruined an innocent girl.

The driver suppressed his anger, a ball of rage burning in his chest. How could there be such an irresponsible nanny!

He gripped the steering wheel and persuaded, “Qin’s parents will be good to you, you are their biological daughter.”

Jian Ying’an gave a cold laugh. She quickly realized this was inappropriate, as this was not a smile a six-year-old child should have.

So she calmly asked, “What do you know about the Qin family?”

She had lived in the Qin family for more than ten years and no longer held any hope for anyone.

Only this driver would blindly believe it, unaware that the Qin family was not an ordinary family. A hint of coldness flashed in Jian Ying’an’s eyes.

It was a ruthless, self-serving, and inherently selfish family that prioritized profit above all else.

It doesn’t matter, even if it’s just on the surface.

Jian Ying’an suppressed her emotions. As long as Qin Mianmian was happy, it was enough. She would grow up carefree as the Qin family’s young miss.

The driver thought she was bothered by Qin Mianmian.

He heard that the Qin couple treated that daughter very well, spoiling her in every way. At her sixth birthday party, the Qin family even invited a crowd of wealthy families to celebrate her birthday.

Both were daughters of the Qin family, yet they lived completely opposite lives.

It was normal for her to be bothered. Let alone a six-year-old child, even an adult would be angry because of unequal treatment.

The driver advised, “Don’t worry, your younger brother and sister will like you very much, too.”

That stupid little brother would never like her!

This driver clearly didn’t know the truth and mistakenly thought Jian Ying’an was merely a long-lost young lady of a wealthy family, now simply being recognized.

Of course. In order not to hurt Qin Mianmian, the Qin family kept the news well-hidden!

Thinking of Mianmian, Jian Ying’an’s heart fluttered slightly.

She recalled Mianmian’s soft voice in her ear.

“But, I like you.”

Qin Mianmian would like her.

Jian Ying’an covered her chest, various emotions surging like a tide. Jian Ying’an lifted her head, and she suddenly understood.

She had to go back to the Qin family! She had to spoil Qin Mianmian like a younger sister! As for everything else, she didn’t care! She only cared about Qin Mianmian.

Because Jian Ying’an would like her too.

Even if it was belated affection.

The sky gradually darkened.

The Qin family thought Jian Ying’an only deserved to enter the house at this time, like a thief, afraid of being known that their biological daughter had been found.

Jian Ying’an’s expression was a little poor, but it was not because of this matter.

Her six-year-old body was too frail, and the feeling of weakness quickly overwhelmed her.

Her stomach rumbled; she hadn’t eaten all day, it seemed.

The driver naturally wouldn’t notice such a thing. If Jian Ying’an remembered correctly, in her previous life, she was directly starved until the next morning.

Recalling the past, Jian Ying’an felt even worse.

However, she didn’t expect the driver to hand her a small bread.

Jian Ying’an was slightly stunned.

This was something that hadn’t happened in her past life. Why did this driver give her a piece of bread after her rebirth? Jian Ying’an looked back and forth between the driver and the bread. She didn’t take it.

The driver held it out for a while, and because he needed to drive, he simply placed it where Jian Ying’an could reach. “You haven’t had dinner, have you? Eat some first to tide you over.”

Not only dinner, but that nanny had deliberately starved her for several meals when she learned Jian Ying’an was being brought back.

She said sarcastically that Jian Ying’an was going back to live a high-class life and would look down on her coarse food. If the Qin family hadn’t planned to continue recognizing Mianmian as their daughter, Jian Ying’an suspected the nanny would have done something worse.

Jian Ying’an remained silent, looking at the small bread.

It didn’t have any fancy packaging, just a transparent plastic bag with the product name printed on it, smelling cheap and simple beyond measure. She picked up the bread, said thank you, and then tore open the bag.

Taking a bite, the taste was also bland, but at this moment, she had nothing to complain about.

She was not the Jian Ying’an who controlled half of the Qin family more than ten years later. All delicious delicacies and exquisite food had nothing to do with her anymore. Now, she was just a poor little thing who had just been recognized and was unwanted.

The driver saw her finish it in two bites, then sit quietly again.

She was only six years old but looked like an adult, who must have suffered a lot before.

It would be better now, that was the Qin family, where the servants ate better than ordinary people. The driver didn’t realize that if the Qin family truly valued Jian Ying’an, why would they let him, a driver with little connection to the family, pick her up?

The black sedan drove discreetly towards the Qin family estate.

The driver couldn’t drive inside. In the night, he watched Jian Ying’an get out of the car, thin and small, looking at the tightly closed wrought iron gate. The driver glanced twice, sighed, and then drove away.

Jian Ying’an saw the lazy and loafing guards through the gap in the iron gate.

The familiar scene was happening again. Everything made Jian Ying’an unforgettable.

That was why she had punished those arrogant servants the first moment she gained power.

Returning to the identity of a poor little thing, Jian Ying’an did not have the aggression of her previous life. She was now eager to enter the Qin family and see Qin Mianmian.

The six-year-old Qin Mianmian, who would smile and welcome her.

She desperately dug her nails into her palm, preventing herself from losing composure. After waiting for a while, the guard slowly came to open the door.

Seeing Jian Ying’an’s worn-out clothes, which were incompatible with the lavishly decorated Qin family, the guard curled his lip.

Jian Ying’an heard him complain softly, “I don’t know where this poor wretch came from, claiming to be Miss Qin…”

The same words as in her previous life, not a single word changed.

This made Jian Ying’an even more certain that she had been reborn.

The guard opened the door, yawned, and went back to loafing. With no one to lead the way, Jian Ying’an walked towards the duplex villa alone.

Inside the villa, the floor was polished bright, and an extravagant European-style chandelier hung overhead. She stood in the hall, not sitting on the soft sofa, but tightly pursing her lips, her gaze fixed on the second floor.

A flurry of footsteps sounded, and soon, a little girl appeared.

She was wearing a pink puffy dress, her hair was permed into small curls, making her look like a Barbie doll. She ran along the long corridor, then leaned on the stair railing, curiously looking at Jian Ying’an.

With wet, innocent doe eyes, she didn’t know what Jian Ying’an’s return represented, only thinking a new friend had arrived at home.

One stood on the second floor, the other in the downstairs hall, facing each other.

Through the long river of time, they were both in the Qin family. The two people who shouldn’t have met were brought together again. Jian Ying’an’s heart surged; she finally saw Qin Mianmian again.

She showed a cherished smile to Qin Mianmian. The little girl upstairs’ eyes lit up, smiling even more brightly than Jian Ying’an.

However, she didn’t come down. Jian Ying’an frowned, tugging at her dry, yellow hair.

In fact, Jian Ying’an still couldn’t understand why this little princess would like her at first sight in her current state. If not for that incident, Jian Ying’an would never have believed it.

Qin Mianmian liked her.

Qin Mianmian, the only person in the world who liked her. Jian Ying’an lowered her hand, let out a breath of stale air, and told herself not to overthink it.

She looked around and subtly frowned.

The housekeeper and the Qin couple hadn’t appeared yet.

And Qin Mianmian didn’t dare to come downstairs.

Jian Ying’an wanted to go up, to reintroduce herself to Qin Mianmian, to promise that from now on, she would definitely protect her well.

But she knew that as soon as she made a move, the servants would immediately contact the Qin couple, who, fearing she might harm Qin Mianmian, would simply send her away and supervise her perfunctorily with a few people.

That’s how it was in the previous life, keeping her away from the Qin family for a year.

Then she wouldn’t be able to see Qin Mianmian. Jian Ying’an slightly closed her eyes, pondering something.

She decided to continue pretending for a while. She needed to pretend to be well-behaved, to pretend to be a harmless little girl.

Only this way could she stay by Qin Mianmian’s side. Jian Ying’an retracted her sharp claws, pretending to be an innocent lamb.

She cautiously looked at the middle-aged woman dressed as a servant and asked, “When will Mr. and Mrs. Qin be back?”

Carefully suppressing her strength, her tone was soft and helpless.

Jian Ying’an looked at the middle-aged woman with confused and fearful black eyes.

So pitiful.

The servant was pretending to tidy things up. Hearing Jian Ying’an’s deliberate show of weakness, her movements paused. For some reason, her heart ached slightly.

She was also a parent. If her biological daughter was lost outside and finally brought back, she would definitely cherish her deeply.

Looking at Jian Ying’an, who didn’t even dare to hope for her parents’ affection and only cautiously called her own father “Mr. Qin,” how pathetic she was.

In reality, Jian Ying’an couldn’t force herself to utter the word “father.”

But if it could fool this servant, all the better.

The servant stopped what she was doing, ignoring the housekeeper’s instructions. She wanted to give this child a little warmth! The servant smiled kindly at Jian Ying’an: “The Madam and Master are busy with work, but they are on their way back.”

Jian Ying’an’s clear eyes gazed at the servant.

Her face was small, but those big eyes were so black and bright that the servant felt even more soft-hearted. The servant subconsciously reached into her apron pocket, wondering if she had any candy.

Jian Ying’an noticed the servant’s movement and moved her gaze away with disinterest.

She wasn’t interested in candy and found it hard to pretend to believe the servant’s nonsense, so she simply lowered her head and stopped pretending.

But in the next second, Qin Mianmian had run down from upstairs.

Jian Ying’an was momentarily stunned, then curved her lips, smiling radiantly as she watched her approach, understanding a profound truth.

The hunter who pretends to be the prey is the most likely to achieve their goal.

The little white rabbit did not know the wickedness of the human heart. She only felt that since the servants in the house were so kind to Jian Ying’an, she must be a good child, a friend to be made.

Qin Mianmian saw Aunt Zhang’s action of searching for candy. She took out her own treasured candy from her small pocket.

It had exquisite packaging and a faint fragrance.

Qin Mianmian was full of joy: “Here, have some candy.”

She watched Jian Ying’an carefully take the candy, as if it were not just an ordinary piece of candy, but an immensely heavy and precious treasure capable of crushing a dragon.

Jian Ying’an peeled back the wrapper and ate the candy in front of Qin Mianmian. She smiled slightly: “Thank you, it’s delicious.”

After more than ten years, she finally tasted the sweetness of this candy, and Jian Ying’an’s eyes stung with tears.

She smoothed out the wrapper, preparing to keep it carefully.

Aunt Zhang saw this scene, her eyes feeling sore, and she felt even more sorry for Jian Ying’an.

It was just a small piece of candy, yet she treasured it so much. How difficult must her previous life have been!

Yet, the housekeeper had instructed them to pretend not to see her and to ignore this pitiful little girl.

She was clearly the biological daughter of the Qin couple. How could parents be so heartless when they saw their child suffer so much!

Aunt Zhang looked solemn, quietly left, presumably to find the housekeeper.

She must plead with the housekeeper to be kinder to this little girl…

Jian Ying’an noticed Aunt Zhang leaving. She glanced at her indifferently, unconcerned, and continued to look at Qin Mianmian.

She couldn’t look enough.

Her purpose for rebirth was Qin Mianmian.

Everyone else had nothing to do with her. Jian Ying’an prepared to say something. She needed a good start to become close friends with Qin Mianmian.

However, the second before she spoke, Jian Ying’an heard the sound of high heels.
