The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 24

Jian Anyan’s voice rose slightly.

Qin Mianmian, who was playing with a cat in the courtyard, looked over, curious about what they were talking about.

Jian Ying’an gestured for her to be quiet: “I don’t want Mianmian to know about this. She gets upset easily over other people’s affairs, and I want her to grow up healthy and happy.”

After speaking, she turned back and smiled at Qin Mianmian, assuring her that everything was fine.

Qin Mianmian blinked, half-believing, half-doubting.

The orange cat by her leg, not willing to be forgotten, pawed at Qin Mianmian’s hand, trying to get her attention. Qin Mianmian giggled, tickled, and continued to play with the cat, occasionally letting out bursts of laughter.

The atmosphere over there was cheerful and tranquil.

Over here, Jian Anyan’s emotions were intense, but she calmed down.

She didn’t dwell on Jian Ying’an’s two sentences just now, still processing the part where Jian Ying’an said her parents left her with a nanny, the nanny raised her in the countryside, and no one cared whether she lived or died…

Jian Anyan’s eyes reddened.

She thought her time as a trainee was tough—joining the company at thirteen, endless practice day and night, and having her diet controlled by her manager.

But she had loving parents, and becoming an idol was her own choice.

Jian Ying’an, however, had no choice! She was born into that family, and not a single person cared about her!

Her parents, and that nanny, were not human!

The cameraman also empathized.

He had also heard that when Jian Ying’an’s “mother” brought her to the audition, the only thing she cared about was the pay. Wasn’t that prioritizing profit over her child!

So selfish, so heartless!

Jian Ying’an lowered her eyes, tapping the back of her left hand with her right index finger, calculating something in her mind.

But to the camera lens, she was a six-year-old child who looked lost and bewildered.

She had merely spoken honestly about her past, completely unaware that anything was amiss!

Jian Anyan urgently asked, “What about the nanny? What happened to the nanny?”

Since Jian Ying’an’s parents took her back, they surely must have punished the nanny. Maybe the nanny even went to jail!

If so, then perhaps there was a little bit of family affection…

“I’m not very sure.”

Jian Ying’an said softly.

She understood Jian Anyan’s thoughts, but she couldn’t say too much, to avoid giving the impression that this child was deeply manipulative.

The audience would believe a child’s words, but they wouldn’t believe a child who acted too mature.

That would only look like a conspiracy.

Tears were about to fall from Jian Ying’an’s eyes, and she seemed to be recalling the time vaguely: “They seemed to have given her some money and told her to find a new job.”

The nanny had switched her and Qin Mianmian.

But the Qin family had raised Mianmian as their biological daughter for so many years, so this scandal had to be suppressed by the Qin family.

Therefore, the nanny would be fine.

The nanny’s daughter was enjoying the best of everything.

And the nanny? She was warned by the Qin family a few times to keep the matter quiet, and then happily ran off with a few hundred thousand yuan.

Heh, her daughter got a good life, and she got money. Why wouldn’t the nanny be happy!

In her previous life, Jian Ying’an had laid everything bare, not caring about other people’s opinions, intent only on disgusting the Qin family and everyone else.

This time wouldn’t work, so Jian Ying’an kept some information secret, preparing the groundwork for the future.

But she still needed to drag the nanny down!

Jian Ying’an thought it through carefully.

Jian Anyan also cursed as she wished: “That nanny is inhuman! And they even gave her money!”

Jian Ying’an responded to Jian Anyan with a confused look, as if she didn’t understand what exactly was wrong with that.

The cameraman was furious: “Are your parents… ” crazy.

Just as Jian Ying’an was about to fan the flames further.

An uninvited guest arrived.

Jian Ying’an frowned, displeased that her plan was interrupted, and annoyed simply by his presence.

Shen Jinyu.

He was followed by Ji Han. They stood at the courtyard gate, hesitating repeatedly. Seeing Qin Mianmian inside, he finally hardened his heart and walked in.

As if something inside was going to eat him alive.

If looks could kill, Shen Jinyu would be nothing but bones!

Jian Ying’an clicked her tongue, unable to continue the conversation. She couldn’t let Jian Anyan keep asking, so she took the initiative to speak, disrupting everyone’s attention: “You’re here. Have you eaten lunch?”

Shen Jinyu looked at her as if she were a ghost.

Jian Ying’an smiled: “You probably haven’t eaten yet. Running around outside in this heat must be exhausting.”

Seriously, what an idiot.

What time was it? He was still running around under the sun, surely because he couldn’t find food.

Judging by his disgusted expression at the courtyard, he probably thought it was too dirty, which is why he was starving. Serves him right!

Jian Ying’an was in a bad mood.

This rare opportunity to sink the Qin couple was completely ruined by Shen Jinyu!

Jian Anyan was also in a bad mood.

Once she empathized, it was hard for her to snap out of it. Her mind was full of Jian Ying’an’s inhuman, brain-dead parents, and the inhuman nanny who was getting away with it!

After the program recording was over, she must find Jian Ying’an privately! She needed to help her sort these things out!

She was just a child, so pitiful.

Jian Anyan’s eye corners were slightly red.

Ji Han was physically and mentally exhausted. He hadn’t noticed the subtle changes around him. He asked Jian Anyan, “Have you guys eaten?”

Jian Anyan: “None of your business!”

Ji Han: “…”

Jian Anyan realized after her outburst that it was wrong. Ji Han was still her senior, and she should be polite.

It was hard for her to be polite right now.

She was very angry.

Jian Anyan’s tone was cold: “Sorry, we have eaten.”

Ji Han gave a dry laugh. He and Shen Jinyu were the only two who hadn’t eaten yet.

Speaking of Shen Jinyu, as soon as he entered, he went straight to Qin Mianmian.

He walked towards Qin Mianmian, ignoring the orange cat. He accidentally stepped on the cat’s tail.

The orange cat let out a yelp and unceremoniously clawed him.

Shen Jinyu felt a sharp pain in his foot. He looked down and saw the cat had drawn blood!

Qin Mianmian hurriedly hugged the cat and stroked its fur.

The orange cat nestled in Mianmian’s arms, staring fiercely at Shen Jinyu.

Qin Mianmian: “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared.”

Ji Han and the staff were startled by the young master’s scream and quickly surrounded Shen Jinyu: “Are you okay?”

If he was scratched by a cat, he needed to get vaccinated.

But this was the countryside; where would they find a vaccine!

Jian Ying’an let out an unreserved laugh, feeling a wave of relief and joy!

This person, even a cat didn’t like him!

She walked over to Qin Mianmian: “Mianmian, let’s go outside.”

Qin Mianmian was still comforting the orange cat: “Sister, it’s very scared.”

The orange cat’s fur was standing on end. It was already plump, and now it was half the size of Qin Mianmian.

Jian Ying’an: “There are too many people here. Let’s go out.”

Qin Mianmian: “Okay.”

So they left Shen Jinyu, who had just found them, and departed from the middle-aged woman’s house.

Jian Anyan, left in the courtyard, paused. She looked around, saw the cameraman following them, and ran out as well.

Jian Anyan walked beside the two.

She saw Jian Ying’an caring for Qin Mianmian like an older sister. Recalling Jian Ying’an’s background, she felt increasingly troubled.

She started to wonder, what was the relationship between Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian?

Jian Ying’an was too good to Qin Mianmian.

Before Jian Anyan could figure it out, another film crew appeared at the street corner.

The guest in front was Qi Yin.

As the only guest who was abandoned, he calmly approached them, maintaining a distance of three to five meters.

Jian Anyan breathed a sigh of relief, really not wanting any contact with the opposite sex.

The two little guests completely ignored him.

Jian Anyan had to take the initiative to greet him: “Hello… Have you, eaten?”

Qi Yin: “…No.”

It was all because he didn’t stick close enough. He lost sight of them in a flash and had been searching all this time.

Jian Anyan: “Oh.”

If he hadn’t eaten, he hadn’t eaten. She couldn’t do anything about it.

She herself was relying on others for food. What could she do?

Her reliable person, Jian Ying’an, focused entirely on Qin Mianmian: “Do you want to adopt a cat?”

Qin Mianmian and the orange cat already had a very good relationship. She carried the cat, and it didn’t react much. In fact, with more people around, it hid further in Qin Mianmian’s arms.

Having someone more timid than herself, Qin Mianmian was less afraid of the crowd.

She held the orange cat, finding it a bit heavy.

Hearing Jian Ying’an’s words, she immediately followed up: “Can I? I knew it, Sister is the best!”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

Adopting a cat wasn’t a big deal, but this orange cat was someone else’s pet. Taking it away just like that wasn’t right.

But Jian Ying’an really didn’t want to go back.

She thought about it carefully. Who cares, she was only six years old now. She’d be willful along with Qin Mianmian: “Okay! Adopt it!”

Jian Anyan finally reacted: “How can you just take someone else’s cat!”

Qin Mianmian looked at Jian Anyan: “Can’t I adopt it?”

Jian Ying’an boldly stated: “You can!”

Jian Anyan: … That was clearly not okay!

She should go back and apologize to the owner. Jian Anyan prepared to take the orange cat and send it back.

Qin Mianmian couldn’t bear to part with it. She pretended to only hear Jian Ying’an say she could adopt it, then looked at Jian Ying’an pleadingly, seeing Jian Anyan as the bad guy.

Jian Ying’an: “You can adopt it!”

Qin Mianmian followed suit with a soft, childlike voice: “Yes! We can adopt it!”

See, she treated Jian Ying’an’s words like a royal decree.

Jian Anyan thought Jian Ying’an was a mature little adult, but she didn’t expect her to be so willful sometimes.

Then she thought of Jian Ying’an’s background, imagining that she must lack companionship, which is why she liked cats so much. A child’s request is so simple; why not fulfill it?

So Jian Anyan nodded as well: “Alright then! Adopt it!”

Qi Yin: “…”

He backed up another step.

He changed the subject: “The director told us to gather at the village entrance to assign our accommodation for the night.”

After saying that, he immediately hurried away.

Gathering at the village entrance was quite difficult.

There were originally only six groups, which shouldn’t take too long, but one person from one group insisted on bothering a cat, which resulted in a scratch, and now they had been sent out for a vaccine.

So they had to wait at the village entrance, and they waited for about three hours.

During these three hours, the other groups kept looking at the culprit.

The orange cat ignored them, focused on grooming itself.

The countryside orange cat had a thuggish air about it. Some of the other little guests wanted to touch it, but didn’t dare.

So Qin Mianmian said: “Don’t be afraid, it’s very nice to pet, right, Sister?”

Jian Ying’an raised her hand and stroked Qin Mianmian’s head: “Yes, it’s very nice to pet.”

Jian Ying’an loved touching it.

While stroking Mianmian’s head, she glanced at the orange cat. The orange cat turned away dismissively, presenting its rear to Jian Ying’an, its attitude incredibly arrogant!

Jian Ying’an withdrew her gaze and looked at the little guest who wanted to touch the cat.

It was a little girl named Li Dong. They heard her parents were professional dancers. But Li Dong was a bit timid and very shy.

The person looking after her was an actress with a good personality, in her thirties.

The actress confidently let Li Dong approach, then stood aside and smiled at Jian Ying’an and the others.

Li Dong swallowed: “Will it really not scratch people?”

Jian Ying’an: “It only scratches bad people.”

Li Dong looked at Jian Ying’an: “Like that… bad person named Shen Jinyu?”
