The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 36

No one can tolerate having what rightfully belongs to them snatched away, no one!

Su Nan couldn’t figure out where she was inferior to her brother.

She was even more outstanding than her brother.

Yet, her family only saw her brother’s hard work and success. She was just a fringe figure; no matter what awards she won, she would only receive a lukewarm compliment.

What she needed was recognition, recognition that she was no less capable than her brother, a generous and unreserved recognition!

Su Nan took a deep breath.

She believed she was in possession of favorable information, and thus, she was rather composed.

As long as she told this news to Jian Ying’an.

Then what would Jian Ying’an think?

Her brilliance was clearly not inferior to Qin Mianmian’s, yet Qin Mianmian had usurped her identity. Surely, she would also want to take back what belonged to her.

Not just status, but a sense of liberation from ever being overshadowed by others again!

Jian Ying’an must feel the same way she did!

Su Nan: “I have something I want to tell you.”

Jian Ying’an wasn’t very interested.

The moment she thought about Su Nan not being able to produce a few million, her enthusiasm was extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

She might as well go back to the dormitory and rest with Mianmian sooner.

Jian Ying’an’s eyes were delicate and beautiful, and her personality was aloof and cold.

As soon as her wave of drowsiness hit, she let out a yawn, maintaining her distant, unapproachable demeanor.

She felt a little bored, pulling on Qin Mianmian’s soft, small hand, feeling that talking to Su Nan was less interesting than examining Qin Mianmian’s palm lines.

Qin Mianmian’s palm lines were a bit faint…

Jian Ying’an answered indifferently: “Say it here.”

Qin Mianmian’s hand was held by Jian Ying’an. She looked at Su Nan, not missing any of her expressions.

This girl was a little strange.

Qin Mianmian clenched her palm, a sense of unease inexplicably rising in her heart.

Su Nan calmly asked: “Are you sure you want to say it here?”

Jian Ying’an: “Yes.”

The road was still relatively empty now. Su Nan stood opposite the two, looking somewhat expectant.

Her inner voice kept screaming: Tell her the truth, tell her the truth—

She had to win Jian Ying’an over.

The two of them, in partnership, would surely achieve great things!

Su Nan raised a smile: “Do you know who your mother is?”

Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian frowned in unison.

Jian Ying’an straightened her body. She knew Su Nan, but that was only a connection from her past life. The two had cooperated very well, but once the cooperation ended, the interaction stopped there.

The reason she went to save Su Nan was simply to try and make some money.

Su Nan was very smart and ambitious; Jian Ying’an had seen that in her past life.

But that didn’t mean she could presumptuously use her smarts and ambition against her! Jian Ying’an’s face showed a hint of anger: “I don’t have a mother.”

“I am an orphan!”

“Anyone who dares to pretend to be my parents, I curse them to die.”

Well, that was thorough. She left no room for retreat, stating her position clearly.

Jian Ying’an wasn’t sure where Su Nan got the information, nor why she was testing her now, but it didn’t stop her from getting angry: “So I hope you won’t bring it up again.”

Su Nan looked at Jian Ying’an, surprised and at a loss: “You don’t want to know?”

Jian Ying’an was impatient: “No.”

Su Nan: “You don’t want to know about the fact that your biological parents are actually the Qin couple, and Qin Mianmian is nothing more than the nanny’s daughter?”

Qin Mianmian opened her mouth slightly.

Jian Ying’an abruptly pulled Qin Mianmian into her arms, covering her ears, and said fiercely: “I said, my parents died a long time ago. If anyone dares to call themselves my parents, I can only wish them a swift death to join them.”

Su Nan was somewhat shocked and helpless. She couldn’t believe Jian Ying’an would react this way.

Why?

Qin Mianmian took your identity.

Even if the Qin couple held no affection for you, this shouldn’t be your reaction. You should at least feel anger and resentment.

Or could it be that Jian Ying’an already knew this news, which is why she said those things repeatedly?

Then why is she so good to Qin Mianmian?

Su Nan uncontrollably looked at Qin Mianmian in Jian Ying’an’s arms.

Qin Mianmian was shielded tightly by Jian Ying’an.

Judging from Qin Mianmian’s reaction, she should also know about this, which explains her obvious panic just now. But these two, knowing the truth, still have such a close relationship?

Su Nan began to question.

Or is there some scheme she hasn’t thought of? She didn’t believe it!

Su Nan said: “As long as you—”

Jian Ying’an: “No discounts. Three million. Thank you.”

She refused to continue the conversation with Su Nan.

Su Nan still clutched her school bag. Her face felt hot and stung. Seeing the intimate closeness of the two, she was so angry her heart felt like it would stop.

What an unmotivated fool!

The status of the Qin family’s daughter is worth far more than three million!!

Su Nan angrily said: “I’ll transfer it in a few days!”

After saying that, she couldn’t be bothered to communicate with Jian Ying’an anymore. Let her be a simple-minded hanger-on for the rest of her life!

She doesn’t want what belongs to her, instead striving for something vague and illusory.

Su Nan left.

Jian Ying’an slightly loosened her grip. Qin Mianmian could have come out of her embrace, but she didn’t. Listening to Jian Ying’an’s heartbeat, she felt it was the most beautiful music.

A melody that eight years of piano practice couldn’t replicate.

It sounds so good.

Qin Mianmian hugged Jian Ying’an’s waist.

Sometimes, she was truly frustrated by her identity, both angry and afraid.

There was Su Nan, and there would be others.

They would all think it was very strange for these two to be together.

Qin Mianmian was no longer a child. She softly called out: “Jiejie (Sister).”

Jian Ying’an’s tone softened in response: “Hmm.”

There was nothing strange about them being together.

Only strange people would think it was strange.

Qin Mianmian’s eyes were bright like stars, and she firmly thought so. Then, she looked troubled: “Actually, I also have three million.”

She looked up. As long as Jiejie wanted it, she could give Jiejie everything she owned, just to stay by Jiejie’s side.

She didn’t want to occupy those things; she only wanted to occupy Jiejie.

Jian Ying’an smiled: “I don’t want yours.”

Qin Mianmian didn’t say it out loud.

But they are all yours.

Jian Ying’an woke up.

It was still early, and the surroundings were quiet.

She lay on the bed, unable to move.

Qin Mianmian was clinging to her like a koala. Even with the air conditioning on, she could feel a clammy stickiness all over. She wanted to get up and take a shower, but Qin Mianmian was sleeping soundly.

Jian Ying’an listened to Qin Mianmian’s breathing.

Qin Mianmian’s calf was draped over Jian Ying’an’s leg.

Girls at this age grow quickly. Jian Ying’an was already a head taller than Qin Mianmian.

Thinking that she couldn’t get up anyway, Jian Ying’an slipped out a hand and began to measure Qin Mianmian’s height.

After measuring for a while, she put her hand down, only feeling her arm aching. Jian Ying’an looked at the pitch-black ceiling, laughing at herself for being silly.

Why was she doing something so pointless? She couldn’t see anything, trying to measure height with just one hand.

She must still be half-asleep.

Qin Mianmian seemed to be disturbed. Even in her sleep, she didn’t forget to move closer, hugging tighter.

The air started to feel stuffy again.

Jian Ying’an thought about going to the classroom soon.

And then, military training.

Military training…

Junior high…

Jian Ying’an realized something she had forgotten.

Taking care of Qin Mianmian was natural, and Qin Mianmian clinging to her was also inevitable.

But in her previous life, Mianmian said she liked her—

Mianmian was now twelve years old, the age of first awakening affection.

Thump, thump.

In the dead of night, Jian Ying’an’s heart was pounding.

Of course, she would be good to Mianmian, because Mianmian was the only person in this world who liked her. Only Mianmian would like her without reservation.

Jian Ying’an enjoyed this affection.

But the situation felt a little bad.

Jian Ying’an controlled herself not to look at Qin Mianmian, afraid that if she saw that fair face, she would…

She would what? Jian Ying’an asked herself.

She didn’t know; she started to feel scared.

If Qin Mianmian still fell in love with her.

Time passed for what felt like hours. The alarm clock rang, and Jian Ying’an had been wide awake the whole time.

Qin Mianmian was woken up. She turned off the alarm, then nestled into Jiejie’s neck, rubbing around playfully, and then said full of energy: “Good morning, Jiejie.”

She’s used to doing this since she was little, Jian Ying’an thought.

But girls, having a close relationship is normal. It doesn’t necessarily mean ‘liking.’

Jian Ying’an defiantly looked at Qin Mianmian for a long time.

That’s right, that’s how it is!

She also liked to stroke Qin Mianmian’s head, liked to squeeze her soft palm, and liked the feeling of leaning close and feeling the other person’s warmth.

This may not be ‘liking.’

Jian Ying’an confirmed it again.

That’s right. With a thirty-year-old soul, how could I not figure this out?

Qin Mianmian was still in her innocent years; she couldn’t possibly understand so much. It was her own thoughts that were going astray.

Listen, she still calls me Jiejie, Jian Ying’an thought.

Even if they weren’t blood-related, they were sisters. If their relationship was good, and they slept in the same bed, who would suspect anything if told? Why was she overthinking this so much!

Qin Mianmian got out of bed, finding Jian Ying’an still lying down, and looked a little strange: “Jiejie?”

Jian Ying’an: “I’m awake.”

Qin Mianmian hummed: “Hurry up, we have military training.”

Military training.

The scorching sun, the blazing sun baking the earth.

The school-issued military training uniform was thick and heavy. Wearing it was like being in a steamer, making people’s cheeks flush with heat.

The ground was also hot. When shoes stepped on it, a puff of smoke seemed to rise.

So exaggerated.

Fainting and ending up in the school clinic was the greatest shame of Jian Ying’an’s life. She stared at the plastic track, unable to decide if the 996 work schedule was better, or the military training.

This time, I won’t allow myself to faint again, Jian Ying’an thought stubbornly.

It was too embarrassing.

Qin Mianmian ran over from somewhere, holding two bottles of ice water: “Jiejie, here you go!”

Jian Ying’an took them. Neither of them drank yet, just holding them to cool down.

The mineral water was frozen solid. Once the ice melted, they could drink it. That was good.

Li Dong complained again: “Why do we still have military training? I thought this school was expensive, so it would exempt us from things like this.”

You thought because the tuition was high, you’d come here to enjoy yourself?

It’s still a school. Freshman military training, studying, exams—every school is the same.

Did she really think this was some noble school for privileged children?

That’s probably only abroad.

Jian Ying’an pressed the bottle against her face and looked at Qin Mianmian. Qin Mianmian’s skin was naturally fair. She hadn’t endured much hardship; she looked like a little doll. Now, her cheeks were rosy, looking very attractive.

Jian Ying’an swallowed, she was thirsty.

The ice hadn’t melted yet, she was really thirsty.

She was still thinking about that question.

Will Qin Mianmian still fall in love with her in this lifetime?

Li Dong complained for a long, long time.

Qin Mianmian let her talk, ignoring her. When she was truly bored, she moved closer to Jian Ying’an: “Jiejie, I’m so hot.”

Jian Ying’an thought: I’m hotter.

The high temperature made these girls sweat constantly. Sweat soaked their clothes. At this moment, they were grateful the military uniform was thick.

But it was still uncomfortable.

Qin Mianmian was extremely hot, but insisted on leaning against Jian Ying’an: “Jiejie, you’re so cool.”

The water melted, Jian Ying’an took a sip, and replied: “Nonsense.”

She was boiling hot, how could she be cool.

Li Dong: “Not nonsense. You look cold, and you feel cold up close. That’s… the ‘a calm heart naturally cools’ effect!”

Jian Ying’an’s heart was not calm.

She was annoyed.

The instructor walked over, signaling the end of the break. They had to resume standing at attention and at ease.

Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian were in the same class, and because Qin Mianmian was a head shorter, she stood in front of Jian Ying’an.

One in front of the other, Jian Ying’an stared straight at Qin Mianmian. Just as the instructor asked them to raise their hands, Jian Ying’an raised her hand.

She couldn’t help but poke the back of Qin Mianmian’s head.

Qin Mianmian knew Jian Ying’an was behind her, so she didn’t react.

Jian Ying’an chuckled.

So childish, she scolded herself.

It’s a childish age. Why think so much?

Anyway, she would be with Qin Mianmian this lifetime. As for the ‘liking’ stuff, she’d worry about that later.

Thinking this, Jian Ying’an poked her again.

Qin Mianmian cooperated by shaking her head. She was being childish along with Jian Ying’an. This shake of her head was spotted by the instructor.

“The girl in the third position of the second row, what are you doing!”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

Qin Mianmian: “…”

Qin Mianmian didn’t feel the slightest bit harmed by her Jiejie. She puffed out her chest, and said righteously: “Reporting, Instructor! I’m dizzy!”

She looked very much like a pampered girl. Her skin was fair and tender, and the sun made her face extremely red.

The instructor thought she looked a bit sunburnt and figured it wasn’t surprising she might suffer from heatstroke. The instructor waved his hand: “Go rest under the tree.”

This was an unexpected blessing. Qin Mianmian pushed her luck: “Reporting, Instructor! I want someone to accompany me!”

Instructor: “You’re too delicate!”
