The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 31
“Does Sister like the piano?”
Qin Mianmian wanted to ask.
In the end, she didn’t.
The car slowly drove past the small road, already leaving the village and reaching the winding mountain road.
Jian Ying’an seemed a little tired. She closed her eyes to rest, her hand still clutching Qin Mianmian tightly, afraid of any accident.
Qin Mianmian sat obediently in her seat, not moving an inch.
After a few minutes, she couldn’t sit still and turned her head to secretly observe Jian Ying’an.
Qin Mianmian wracked her brain, trying to think of what Jian Ying’an liked.
She had given her a small wind chimes, a cat’s paw mug, and even some origami at school. The one she folded herself was a thousand paper crane, though it was a little wrinkled.
Each time, Jian Ying’an would smile, accept it happily, and never forget to say that she liked it very much.
But Qin Mianmian wanted to know what Jian Ying’an truly liked.
Her birthday was coming soon.
A few months had passed since Jian Ying’an was brought back to the Qin family, and in about ten days, it would be her birthday.
The two of them shared the same birthday.
Jian Ying’an didn’t seem to care much about her birthday and was completely unaware of its impending arrival, but Qin Mianmian was preparing a gift for her.
A birthday was important, and a birthday gift was also very important.
It had to be something the person liked! Otherwise, it would be meaningless!
Like Mrs. Qin, who gave Qin Mianmian a piano when she was four years old.
The piano was very expensive, a German Steinway, worth hundreds of thousands—but Qin Mianmian didn’t like it! In fact, after the piano was brought home, she still had to spend two hours practicing every day.
That kind of birthday gift was so meaningless!
Qin Mianmian was troubled by not knowing what Jian Ying’an liked.
She leaned on Jian Ying’an’s shoulder, thinking and thinking, and then fell asleep herself. Before drifting off, she vaguely thought, if only Sister liked the piano.
Then she could give the piano away, killing two birds with one stone.
The car stopped at the Qin family gate.
The driver clicked his tongue, looking at the Qin family estate. Goodness, this must be nearly a thousand square meters! He knew the Qin family was wealthy, but he originally thought it was just the villa being luxurious.
But the rich always had to exceed his imagination.
The driver wanted to call the two little girls to get out, but saw them sleeping soundly, heads resting against each other.
He couldn’t bear to wake them up…
The driver was a bit awkward. The car was parked at the entrance for a long time, causing the impatient security guard to come over and check.
The production team’s car certainly wasn’t a luxury one, so the security guard’s attitude was poor. He immediately came up and questioned, “What are you stopped here for?”
The driver rolled down the window: “Bringing your young ladies back.”
The security guard sneered: “How could our young lady come back in a car like this? That little bastard, maybe.”
The driver frowned. What ‘little bastard’? This person’s words are so nasty.
The Qin family is so rich, and yet they hire security guards with such low quality. Truly despicable.
He tapped the steering wheel and was more aggressive than the security guard: “Anyway, I’ve brought the people here, hurry up and call someone out to pick them up!”
The staff who followed the production team wouldn’t tolerate this kind of disrespect. If he was pushed too far, he would just sell the news to a marketing account, saying that a certain wealthy family was using their influence to bully people, and even their security guards treated people with disdain.
After shouting those two sentences, he rolled the window back up, not bothering to look at the security guard’s glum face.
“What a jerk, calling someone a ‘little bastard’—”
“What ‘little bastard’?”
Jian Ying’an woke up just as she heard that. She looked out the window and realized they had arrived at the Qin family residence.
The driver turned around: “It’s that security guard, he has a terrible mouth. How could the Qin family hire a security guard like that! Calling their own young lady a ‘little bastard’!”
Jian Ying’an let out a light laugh: “Don’t get angry.”
She hadn’t even gotten angry yet.
The driver came to his senses.
He recalled the things Jian Ying’an had said during the filming, and then thought back to the security guard’s original words. He felt something wasn’t right.
How could our young lady come back in a car like this? That little bastard, maybe.
That ‘little bastard’, could it be referring to Jian Ying’an?
The driver swallowed, pretending not to notice this, and continued to criticize the security guard: “He’s walking a narrow path; something will happen to him sooner or later!”
Jian Ying’an nodded: “You’re right.”
She woke Qin Mianmian up, preparing to get out of the car.
After getting out, Jian Ying’an thought for a moment and said to the driver, “You’re a truly kind person.”
The driver repeatedly pondered the meaning of this sentence.
What kind of ‘kind’ is she referring to? Do six-year-olds speak so ambiguously now?
The security guard was about to walk away as if nothing had happened.
He heard the sound of someone getting out of the car and contemptuously curled his lips. Talking tough to him, and yet still getting out obediently, right?
Nowadays, everyone pretends to be a young lady, just relying on the kindness of the Madam and Master…
Kindness of…
Jian Ying’an held Qin Mianmian’s little hand. Mianmian was still a bit sleepy, rubbing her eyes.
She yawned a tiny bit, her eyes confused as she looked around, not yet realizing she was back home.
More accurately, at the doorstep.
Jian Ying’an: “Aren’t you going to open the door?”
The security guard quickly put on a flattering face: “Miss, you’re back?”
He bowed and scraped, reaching for the key on his waist to open the door.
That wrought-iron gate was pushed open by the security guard.
Jian Ying’an didn’t move.
The security guard waited for a long time, not daring to lose his temper in front of Qin Mianmian. He held back his frustration and said to Jian Ying’an, “Aren’t you going to go in?”
Jian Ying’an coldly said, “No.”
Qin Mianmian didn’t know what was happening, but it didn’t stop her from habitually mimicking her sister: “No!”
Yes, we’re not going in!
Qin Mianmian thought it was fun and even arrogantly put her hands on her hips.
She had a small expression of ‘what can you do to me?’, looking very pleased with herself.
The security guard, who was used to throwing his weight around, didn’t know what to say.
He wanted to flare up, but Qin Mianmian was present. He felt that Jian Ying’an was just a good dog who also bullied others by relying on the Qin family’s power, and now she was even ordering him around!
The security guard had no choice but to call the butler.
A moment later, the butler came to greet them.
He always maintained the elegance and composure of high society, and he respectfully bowed to Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian: “The two young ladies are back.”
The butler had worked for the Qin family for many years, and even the Madam would give him some respect.
Therefore, the security guard rarely saw the butler act like this.
It’s just simple courtesy, he thought. After all, he is the Qin family’s butler, serving the Qin family.
The butler straightened up, looking at the two returning Qin young ladies.
“Filming the show must have been tiring. Dinner is already prepared.”
Jian Ying’an looked at the butler’s impartial manner with some complexity. The Qin family’s attitude toward her had really changed.
She could now be compared with Qin Mianmian and receive superficial respect. Jian Ying’an smiled self-mockingly, then looked coldly at the security guard: “He wouldn’t open the door for me.”
The security guard felt a chill down his spine and tried to argue: “I opened it, didn’t I! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Jian Ying’an just stared at him.
The butler had worked for the Qin family for so long that he certainly wasn’t stupid. He immediately understood Jian Ying’an’s unspoken meaning. He said, “I’ll have someone dismiss him immediately.”
The security guard was dumbfounded.
Jian Ying’an smiled: “Understand now?”
Worried that Qin Mianmian would hear, Jian Ying’an mouthed three words.
Little bastard.
The security guard couldn’t read lips, but he had just said those three words, and they were all too familiar.
But… but the last time Jian Ying’an returned, the Qin family clearly paid her no mind. How could they fire him for her sake? The security guard’s dull brain couldn’t figure it out.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but the butler had already mercilessly turned his gaze away.
Jian Ying’an led Qin Mianmian inside.
I have to say, that felt great!
But as soon as she realized she was relying on the Qin family’s power, Jian Ying’an quickly calmed down.
Three minutes… one minute… time’s up!
Jian Ying’an walked into the piano room to fetch someone: “Mianmian, it’s snack time.”
Qin Mianmian immediately stood up: “Teacher, you worked hard today!”
The two cooperated tacitly, as if they had practiced thousands of times.
The new piano teacher, following Mrs. Qin’s requirements, was very strict. She frowned and said in a deep voice, “Practice for another half hour.”
Qin Mianmian looked at Jian Ying’an pitifully.
Jian Ying’an’s expression remained unchanged: “That’s not allowed. The Qin family values punctuality very much and rules must not be broken arbitrarily. It is snack time now.”
She was completely making it up, but she said it with utter calmness and seriousness.
The piano teacher had no choice but to give up: “I’ll come back tomorrow.”
After she left, Qin Mianmian cheered: “Yay~”
Jian Ying’an also smiled: “Be quiet, the teacher hasn’t gone far.”
Qin Mianmian had truly become naughty. She was no longer the obedient child in Mrs. Qin’s mind.
However, with Jian Ying’an covering for her, Mrs. Qin still didn’t know about it.
Qin Mianmian urged Jian Ying’an too quickly take her out of the piano room. She was ready to go to the cake shop for her beloved strawberry cake.
Yes, it was snack time.
Just a snack time that Mrs. Qin and the butler didn’t know about.
Jian Ying’an also found it strange. They had secretly gone to the cake shop several times, and the Qin couple still hadn’t found out.
Forget it, don’t worry about those things.
Even if they did find out, she would have a way to take Qin Mianmian out to eat. She couldn’t keep her locked up in the Qin family forever.
Jian Ying’an: “Mianmian, you seem to have gained weight again.”
Qin Mianmian immediately became alert: “Have I?”
Jian Ying’an: “No…”
So Qin Mianmian smiled again, like a glutinous rice ball, soft and sweet.
Utterly adorable.
Qin Mianmian was actually keeping a secret in her heart.
In two more days, it would be their birthday!
Sister, this dummy, hasn’t noticed yet! No, Sister isn’t a dummy, she’s just busy with other things and forgot.
With only two days left, Qin Mianmian still didn’t know what Jian Ying’an liked.
After finishing the cake, she pestered Jian Ying’an to walk around the mall, only looking but not buying. Jian Ying’an didn’t know what she was planning, but indulged her by accompanying her.
Passing a store, Jian Ying’an saw a pink hair accessory inside and started to think.
It would be cute if Mianmian wore pigtails, too.
She only paused for that short time when Qin Mianmian asked her, “Sister? Do you like it?”
Jian Ying’an looked at Qin Mianmian’s hair.
The small curls she had before were completely gone, and later, her hair was simply straightened. Straight hair made Qin Mianmian look cleaner and more like a girl next door, which Jian Ying’an quite liked.
If she wore pigtails, her hair might regret being curled again.
She would have to straighten it again later, which wasn’t good for her hair.
Jian Ying’an replied, “I’m just looking.”
Qin Mianmian didn’t say anything and continued to drag Jian Ying’an around.
Whenever Jian Ying’an looked at something for a while, Qin Mianmian would ask, “Sister, do you like it?”
Yes, I like it to death.
Jian Ying’an realized that Qin Mianmian wanted to give her a gift, so she was trying different ways to find out what she liked. Understanding this, Jian Ying’an thought: She really likes her so much.
How could there be such a good Mianmian.
Jian Ying’an cleared her throat: “It’s okay.”
Then Qin Mianmian continued to take Jian Ying’an to wander.
Jian Ying’an, who had already seen through Qin Mianmian’s little trick, was full of mischief. She kept pretending to examine an item, pretending to like it a lot, and then shaking her head when Qin Mianmian looked over excitedly.
“Not that much.”
Qin Mianmian was hesitant to speak.
After many times, the feeling of ‘you are disappointing my good intentions, you bad sister’ welled up.
But she still took Jian Ying’an to browse every store, every single one! She thought, Sister must like something. If they finished shopping and her sister still didn’t like anything, she would go back and buy everything her sister had looked at!
But… what did Sister look at just now?
