The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 35
Leaving aside the fact that she only managed to grab a handful of dirt back then, the dorm didn’t even have a kitchen for Jian Ying’an to cook.
The two of them still went to a restaurant to eat shrimp.
Huge lobsters, the kind bigger than a palm.
The two junior high school students sitting in a high-end restaurant surprised even the waiters.
Jian Ying’an shook the card in her hand, indicating that she had the means to pay the bill and that he shouldn’t worry.
Qin Mianmian tore apart the lobster legs as if venting her anger, nobody knew where her temper came from.
Jian Ying’an took a moment to calculate her balance. The Qin family gave her pocket money, but that money made her feel uncomfortable. She saved the money on a card, not spending a cent, preparing to throw it back in the Qin family’s face someday.
All her current expenses when taking Qin Mianmian out came from Aunt Zhang’s housekeeping company.
However, based on the current spending, the company’s dividends might not be enough…
Jian Ying’an planned to go work for Ye Zhou.
If all else failed… she would ask Qi Yin if he had any movies, she could invest in to earn a little extra money.
She was a bit distracted by her thoughts until Qin Mianmian called her.
In front of Qin Mianmian was a pile of lobster remains. She pursed her lips, a little embarrassed: “Sister, I actually can’t eat that much.”
Jian Ying’an: “Want some small cake?”
Qin Mianmian: “Yes.”
Jian Ying’an ordered another small cake.
She thought to herself: I’ve been watching you eat for six years; don’t you think I know your appetite?
She wondered how Qin Mianmian, who looked thin and weak, managed to eat so much. However, she was indeed a bit heavy when held… Jian Ying’an scrutinized her up and down, still unable to figure out where the weight was located.
An unsolved mystery.
Jian Ying’an went to pay the bill.
The waiter made small talk: “That must be your sister, she’s really cute.”
Jian Ying’an responded lazily.
The waiter didn’t notice her low spirits: “But you two don’t look alike at all.”
Jian Ying’an raised her eyes. The waiter was handing the card back to her. Jian Ying’an didn’t take it, so he met her gaze.
It carried a mysterious coldness and danger.
It really didn’t look like the eyes of an underage girl.
The waiter shivered: “You are very beautiful. Maybe one of you takes after your mother and the other after your father.”
Jian Ying’an continued to stare at him. Even after being reborn and pretending to be a child for six years, the sense of oppression on her hadn’t diminished, making the waiter sweat profusely.
She usually deliberately concealed it for the future.
But now, she was a little angry.
Jian Ying’an said coldly: “Neither.”
The waiter stammered: “Ah?”
“I don’t resemble anyone.”
“Speak less in the future.”
Jian Ying’an took her card and left.
The waiter watched her walk away before daring to breathe freely. He muttered: “What kind of rich family raised this child? So scary.”
Then he thought of the other girl who looked very cute. He shivered, deciding to take the advice.
Speak less, and mind his own business.
Jian Ying’an was not in a good mood.
She looked at Qin Mianmian.
Qin Mianmian was waiting for her to come back, bored, resting her chin on her hand and looking out the window.
Qin Mianmian’s hair was cut short, reaching her shoulders. The smooth straight hair made her look gentle and well-behaved; the kind of appearance elders would like.
Anyone who looked at her would think she was a good child.
This “good child” was getting more and more willful now.
After waiting for only a little while, she started to get anxious, looking around, wanting to know how long Jian Ying’an would take to return.
If it took any longer, she would throw a tantrum again.
Jian Ying’an’s mood lifted again.
Jian Ying’an walked over. When Qin Mianmian saw her, the anxiety in her eyes slowly faded, and then she casually complained: “Sister, you’re so slow!”
However, after she spoke, she smiled playfully.
“Sister is the best. She treated me to a big lobster—”
Jian Ying’an: “Come again next time?”
Qin Mianmian cheered: “That’s why I say Sister is the best!”
The two left the restaurant.
Qin Mianmian wasn’t walking properly, insisting on taking a step and then hopping. When asked, she said she was playing hopscotch.
As if she hadn’t grown up.
The restaurant was near the school, so the two chose to walk back.
Qin Mianmian hopped until she couldn’t hop anymore. She started clinging to Jian Ying’an, asking her to carry her back: “Sister is the strongest. Sister can carry me up to the third floor in one go. This short walk back to school is a small problem, right!”
Jian Ying’an couldn’t get her off, so she had no choice but to carry Qin Mianmian on her back.
Qin Mianmian climbed onto Jian Ying’an’s back.
It felt very secure.
She held onto Jian Ying’an’s clothes: “Sister, I hope we are still in the same class.”
Jian Ying’an: “They divide classes based on grades. Are you saying you don’t think you can pass?”
Qin Mianmian giggled secretly. If she had laughed outright, it would have been fine, but the suppressed laughter made her body shake uncontrollably, almost causing her to fall off Jian Ying’an.
Jian Ying’an couldn’t hold her steady, so she simply stopped in place, waiting for her to finish laughing or simply fall off.
While laughing, the two heard a cry for help.
A moment of silence…
Qin Mianmian heard a girl calling for help: “This is near the school; just call the school guard directly.”
The implication was to prevent Jian Ying’an from going, lest she also get entangled.
Jian Ying’an thought the same way. She even thought she had taught Qin Mianmian well.
However, after Jian Ying’an called the security guard, she saw the girl being harassed by the hooligans.
She looked somewhat familiar.
Jian Ying’an was sure she hadn’t met this girl before. She spent all her time with Qin Mianmian. If she had truly seen her, Qin Mianmian would have remembered first.
But Qin Mianmian didn’t say anything, so she probably hadn’t seen her.
Soon, Jian Ying’an remembered.
The girl’s name should be Su Nan.
No wonder it took her so long to remember. She had met her in her previous life. Su Nan was already an adult at that time, becoming the head of the Su family, although the Su family was already struggling back then.
It was precisely because of the Su family’s decline that Jian Ying’an and Su Nan had a brief encounter.
It was an association related to mutual interests.
The two cooperated, made a sum of money, and then went their separate ways. The Su family began to recover, and the Qin family began to decline.
Should she save her? Jian Ying’an pondered.
Qin Mianmian grabbed her: “Sister, let’s go save her.”
Jian Ying’an looked back at Qin Mianmian.
Qin Mianmian was looking at Su Nan. She first frowned, wondering why her sister kept looking at this person, then realized this person was not as cute as her and not as pretty as her sister, so her sister probably wouldn’t like her.
She felt relieved, but also thought that since her sister kept looking at her, she must want to save her.
She would grudgingly agree to let her sister go save her.
Qin Mianmian didn’t mention any of this complex psychological activity, only saying lightly: Let’s go save her.
Jian Ying’an briefly curled her lips: “Mianmian is so good.”
Is this good? Qin Mianmian relaxed a bit, but also felt a little disappointed.
She nodded, showing a proud expression: “Of course!”
“But Sister, even though you’re amazing, you have to be careful not to get hurt.”
“Because for me, Sister is the most important person.”
“Sister, promise me.”
“Okay.”
In front of Su Nan were a few hooligans.
Clutching her backpack, her first calm thought was: Are they asking for money? If so, she would give it in two installments, pretending she genuinely had no money and had already handed over everything.
If they wanted something else, she could only stall.
The location was very close to the school. As long as she stalled until some kind person saw them and called the security guard, she would be safe.
Su Nan did not anticipate someone rushing toward them directly.
It was a girl with long hair tied in a high ponytail. Her features were sharp and striking, and she was very beautiful, with a cold expression on her face, looking quite formidable.
Both cool and good-looking.
This girl rushed up and delivered a punch to one of the hooligans.
Starting the prelude without any warning.
This fight was definitely going to happen.
The long-haired girl was skilled, but clearly not enough against several hooligans. Su Nan bit her lip, thinking that this person rushed up for her sake, so she would fight too!
As it turned out, the long-haired girl managed to beat them up while they were still in shock.
By the time they realized they needed to fight back, the long-haired girl had already grabbed Su Nan and run away.
Su Nan was dumbfounded.
She had expected a passionate showdown next, but two girls obviously couldn’t defeat a few hooligans.
She calmed down and started thinking about how to escape.
She heard a girl’s voice.
The girl’s voice was clear and loud, and very pleasant: “Over here, over here!”
Qin Mianmian jumped up and waved, trying to get the security guards to see her, and then pointed at the group of hooligans: “Look! They are still trying to hit people!”
The hooligans saw the tall, imposing security guards and immediately turned to run.
The security guards chased after them.
Jian Ying’an let go of her hand. She shook her left hand: “How about this?”
She was speaking to Su Nan.
“I saved you, so you don’t need to be overly polite. Just give me a few million [Yuan] would be fine.”
Su Nan: “…”
Qin Mianmian rushed over: “Sister, you are so cool! That punch hit me right in the heart. You are the best!”
Jian Ying’an lightly coughed: “It’s alright.”
What ‘alright’? She was clearly enjoying it very much.
Jian Ying’an even regretted running too fast; she could have landed two more punches.
If it weren’t for worrying about Mianmian.
After hearing Qin Mianmian’s praises, Jian Ying’an was overjoyed. She rubbed her head. The hand that threw the punch was still a little numb.
Thinking of this, Jian Ying’an looked at Su Nan: “A few million, don’t forget.”
Su Nan: “…I don’t have that much.”
Jian Ying’an made a sound of surprise. Wasn’t the Su family quite wealthy at this time? They couldn’t even produce a few million.
Qin Mianmian lifted her head from Jian Ying’an’s embrace.
Her eyes trembled slightly. In a trance, she understood why her sister rushed up to save this girl—it was clearly a commercial transaction.
Sister was still her sister.
Qin Mianmian tightly hugged Jian Ying’an and looked at Su Nan: “Don’t forget, a few million.”
Su Nan watched them being affectionate.
Where did these young ladies come from! A junior high school student! How could she casually produce a few million!
She took a deep breath: “May I ask if your name is Qin Mianmian?”
Qin Mianmian’s gaze was probing: “I am. Want a discount?”
Su Nan: “…I’ve heard about you two. Your sister spoils you a lot, and your relationship is indeed very good. Of course, please give me a discount if possible.”
Su Nan had never attended Qin Mianmian’s birthday parties.
It wasn’t because the Su family wasn’t qualified, but because her parents only brought her brother.
Su Nan had heard others say they envied Qin Mianmian for having such a good sister, who treated her like a real sister, even though she was adopted by the Qin family.
Su Nan actually knew more details than others.
She knew that the Qin family’s real young lady was actually Jian Ying’an.
Qin Mianmian was the one adopted by the Qin family—
Su Nan looked at Qin Mianmian nestled in Jian Ying’an’s arms. A light flashed in her eyes, showing no signs of the distress she had just experienced with the hooligans.
Did Jian Ying’an know her identity?
If she knew, would she still be this good to Qin Mianmian?
What good relationship?
It was just like how her parents chose her brother and neglected her.
Su Nan didn’t believe that when someone occupies everything that should belong to her, she would remain indifferent! Everything originally belonged to Jian Ying’an! Didn’t she want to take it back?!
There could only be one reason: Jian Ying’an didn’t know her identity yet!
Compared to a few million, Su Nan felt this news should be more important to Jian Ying’an.
