The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 46

Mianmian, that spendthrift.

The entire one hundred thousand yuan in red envelope money was spent on buying dresses.

And they were all for Jian Ying’an.

The Qin family had specialized dressmakers for custom-made gowns. Throughout the year, they had endless events, big and small. Instead of buying custom pieces from light luxury stores, it would have been better to contact professional designers.

But since this was for a performance, Qin Mianmian pestered Jian Ying’an to come to the store.

She had promised to buy her sister the most expensive and best dress.

The most expensive dress in the store cost as much as one hundred thousand, enough to use up all the red envelope money.

Of course, Qin Mianmian was willing to spend it, but the dress… was an adult size.

If she couldn’t buy the most expensive, then she’d buy the best! Qin Mianmian declared grandly, “Bring out your best dress!”

The store clerk naturally recognized the Qin family’s eldest young lady and dared not be negligent.

She recommended several gowns.

Since the gown was for a performance, specifically for the stepmother of Snow White, very few dresses were suitable.

Jian Ying’an took one to the fitting room. Just as she took off her clothes, Qin Mianmian slipped in. “Sister, it’s hard to put on by yourself, isn’t it? I’ll help you.”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

They shared a dorm, and she had seen her changing clothes many times.

But she just felt that Qin Mianmian seemed a little perverted.

It was indeed hard to wear alone. Jian Ying’an held out her arms and let Qin Mianmian help her put it on. While dressing her, Qin Mianmian gasped in surprise, “Sister, your chest is bigger than mine.”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

She instinctively looked down.

In her previous life, her body hadn’t been well-nourished, so while she was tall in the end, her chest wasn’t particularly large.

Jian Ying’an didn’t have much of a feeling about the size of her chest; being flat-chested made clothes easier to wear. But she still put her hands over them.

In this life, she ate and drank well, and her body developed early. Her chest was slightly rounded, and if things went well, she could comfortably hold one in each hand in the future. Jian Ying’an looked up at the mirror. In the reflection, her hands were covering her chest, and behind her, Qin Mianmian was mirroring her actions.

Qin Mianmian also placed her hands on her chest. She panicked, “Sister, I don’t have a chest!”

Jian Ying’an was mortified.

Why did she, an adult soul, have to compare chest sizes with a young girl!

Qin Mianmian’s hands reached out.

She placed her hands on top of Jian Ying’an’s hands and then gave a slight squeeze.

Hiss.

Jian Ying’an put her hands down. She couldn’t touch them now; it hurt a little.

Qin Mianmian rested her chin on Jian Ying’an’s shoulder. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Jian Ying’an felt completely awkward.

This was simply the most embarrassing age!

Especially with Qin Mianmian’s hands roaming around her waist, seeming to help her put on the skirt, yet also feeling like molestation.

Jian Ying’an finished putting on the dress, still frowning.

She looked at Qin Mianmian, who was concerned about her chest size, and realized again that Mianmian had grown up.

Qin Mianmian’s body was beginning to develop, gradually moving towards maturity. That small, unripe apple hanging on the tree was starting to emit a sweet fragrance.

Qin Mianmian looked at Jian Ying’an: “Sister, has ‘that’ started for you?”

Jian Ying’an was stunned. What was ‘that’?

Seeing Qin Mianmian’s face turn red, oh, that.

It was that…

The Qin family had special tutors to teach the young ladies this knowledge. Jian Ying’an wasn’t interested, so she had made excuses and slipped away.

Qin Mianmian must have listened obediently.

She also thought her sister must understand, so she shyly asked during this clothes-changing session, “It’s just… that!”

Jian Ying’an recalled that hers had started a bit late in her previous life, and she currently showed no signs of it.

Could it be that Mianmian’s had already started!

The Qin family would certainly have servants prepare sanitary pads, so Jian Ying’an hadn’t worried about the issue.

When Qin Mianmian asked, she started to worry. “Why don’t we go to the supermarket and buy some later?”

Qin Mianmian: “Has yours started, Sister?”

Jian Ying’an: “Not yet…”

Qin Mianmian: “I heard it hurts a lot…”

Jian Ying’an really didn’t want to stay in the small fitting room and discuss this issue of puberty with Qin Mianmian.

But Qin Mianmian insisted on a reply, following up relentlessly, making Jian Ying’an wish she could invite the tutor back to re-educate this inattentive student.

Jian Ying’an could only promise helplessly, “I won’t let you hurt.”

Qin Mianmian persisted, “What if it hurts a lot?”

Jian Ying’an: “I’ll hurt with you.”

Qin Mianmian suddenly understood. Oh right, Sister was also a girl and the same age as her. If it came, they would definitely hurt together.

The store clerk could never have imagined that the two girls were spending so much time in the fitting room discussing puberty.

She thought the dress was difficult to put on and was about to go in.

“Misses, are you finished changing?”

Jian Ying’an emerged from the fitting room.

There was a mirror inside the fitting room, but the lighting outside was brighter and showed the effect better. Jian Ying’an felt the color was not dark enough to suit her wicked stepmother’s aura.

Qin Mianmian kept praising how good it looked, as if she were in league with the clerk.

Forget it.

The stage lights would surely be bright enough, and if the dress color was too dark, it would affect the viewing experience.

Qin Mianmian bought a total of three dresses for Jian Ying’an. The clerk asked if she wanted to buy one for herself.

Qin Mianmian proudly said, “No need!”

“Sister made one for me herself, and it’s beautiful!”

Jian Ying’an: “Get her one.”

The clerk: “Didn’t you make one for her yourself?”

Jian Ying’an: “She is a person who is supposed to look even better than me. How can she wear cheap fabric?”

Qin Mianmian: “It’s not cheap, I love it!”

Jian Ying’an: “Just buy one…”

Qin Mianmian wanted to argue with her sister, but she couldn’t find the words and stamped her foot in frustration.

In the end, she obediently took the dress and went to change.

When she came out, she was delighted: “Now I have two dresses, one that Sister made for me, and one that Sister bought for me!”

Her happiness was so simple.

With the costumes ready, rehearsals progressed smoothly.

Li Dong hugged his simple King’s costume and looked at the extravagance of the two beauties. “Are you performing a play or doing a fashion show?”

Jian Ying’an: “Don’t ask. Just assume we’re the leads.”

Li Dong: “My Queen, you are a supporting role too.”

Jian Ying’an: “But I have more lines.”

Yes, throughout the entire play, the Queen and the Princess had the most lines.

It was a good idea for them to dress nicely; it was a representation of the class.

At least they were better than the class next door; none of them were willing to spend tens of thousands on custom gowns.

A slight advantage.

On the day of the formal performance.

The campus was bustling. Parents and many important figures invited by the school were present, ready to watch the children’s play.

There were thirteen plays in total. Jian Ying’an had drawn lots and was scheduled for the seventh slot.

The class waited backstage. Their class needed the largest number of people on stage: nobles for the banquet, the seven dwarfs, plus those moving props. Nearly the whole class was backstage.

Only the parents were in their class’s section of the audience.

Li Dong’s parents were dance teachers, and their outstanding demeanor made them quite eye-catching as they sat there.

But when Jiang An-Yan arrived, she was even more eye-catching.

The school staff noticed her and arranged for someone to come over: “Miss Jiang, would you like a seat in the front row?”

Jiang An-Yan smiled: “No, thank you. I’m here to watch my sister perform.”

This school was well-known, and many influential people were recognized.

Therefore, reporters were lurking, trying to capture something, but they didn’t expect the Film Empress to be present, and from her tone, she was specifically there to watch her sister’s play.

Professional reporters have a keen sense, so the camera focused on Jiang An-Yan and didn’t move away.

At the same time, they speculated about who the Film Empress’s sister was.

What was most unexpected was that Qi Yin and Ye Zhou also came.

One was a Film Emperor who moved behind the scenes, and the other was a well-known director. Coupled with Jiang An-Yan, the Film Empress, the reporters’ breathing became rapid.

Jian Ying’an noticed the movement in the audience. Her gaze swept over; the Qin family had indeed not shown up.

Next up, it was time for her to shine!

Qin Mianmian was wearing the dress Jian Ying’an had made for her.

In the following days, Jian Ying’an had modified some details, adding some sparkly decorations to ensure Qin Mianmian would be eye-catching on stage.

She followed Jian Ying’an’s gaze to the audience seats: “Sister, are you really going to do this?”

Jian Ying’an: “Mianmian doesn’t support it?”

Qin Mianmian shook her head. She would support any decision her sister made.

The class next door’s Romeo and Juliet happened to be scheduled right after their class.

But they were unhurried, clearly not thinking that a fairy tale could steal their thunder.

Li Dong: “I’m a little nervous.”

Jian Ying’an: “If you dare make a mistake, I will shout on stage that Li Dong is a pig.”

Li Dong: How ruthless.

Ye Zhou and Qi Yin sat beside Jiang An-Yan.

In plain sight, they didn’t care about the opinions of others. Ye Zhou asked, “Are you saying Jian Ying’an plans to enter the entertainment industry?”

Jiang An-Yan glanced at Qi Yin: “I already know.”

Qi Yin was utterly bewildered.

Ye Zhou nodded, it wasn’t hard to guess Jian Ying’an’s intentions: “Sometimes, I really feel that Jian Ying’an is too clever to be just a child.”

Which twelve-year-old child starts planning every step of their future?

No, she had been planning since she was six.

Ye Zhou hoped Jian Ying’an would succeed. As a director, if Jian Ying’an really planned to enter the entertainment industry, he could help a lot.

Now that Jiang An-Yan also knew, she could provide Jian Ying’an with quite a few resources.

Fame was a good thing.

Jiang An-Yan: “We’ll see if she can make a splash.”

Ye Zhou looked up the play Jian Ying’an was in. He fell silent for a moment.

How could Snow White make a splash?

The first six plays ended one after another. It was clear that these middle school students had prepared diligently; even the worst performance wasn’t too bad.

Ye Zhou was getting anxious.

Soon, the stage was rearranged, and the narrator’s voice began.

A group of people in lavish costumes danced onto the stage. The opening atmosphere was dazzling.

Li Dong had his parents choreograph the dance because the very first scene was a banquet.

At the banquet, the King announced to everyone the future mistress of the country… the Queen! Jian Ying’an wore an antique European-style gown. Her hoop skirt was heavily supported, and every step she took was elegant and composed.

She stood on the stage, her expression cold, her eyes conveying both weariness and satisfaction.

She was about to become the person in power in this country.

This was a scene that was difficult for a twelve-year-old girl to play well, but she executed it brilliantly, being both beautiful and luxurious.

The ten-thousand-yuan dress perfectly matched her status.

That this was a play prepared and performed by middle school students was incredibly refined.

But this was still not enough.

Qin Mianmian entered, her beautiful and kind image fitting her closely. The audience gradually became immersed.

Classics are timeless.

Never mind that it was a fairy tale.

The Queen was jealous of Snow White’s beauty and wanted to eliminate her.

Jian Ying’an summoned the huntsman and ordered him to capture the princess.

Then… lock her up.

The audience was confused.

On the stage, Jian Ying’an walked towards a meticulously crafted cage. Qin Mianmian was locked inside, like a delicate canary.

Every scene was a beautiful, dreamlike picture.

More exquisite than a movie.

Jian Ying’an paused in front of the cage and said, “I will not let anyone see your beauty.”

Qin Mianmian stayed inside the cage. Without the spotlight on her, she didn’t bother to control her facial expression. She smiled as she looked at Jian Ying’an and mouthed the words:

Sister, you are so kind.

Kind? No, she was just reluctant.

Jian Ying’an couldn’t bear to let Qin Mianmian suffer any harm, and the Queen she played couldn’t do that either.

But the plot couldn’t stop there; it had to continue.

Snow White was rescued by the seven dwarfs. They condemned the Queen’s wickedness, and Snow White remained silent until the Queen found her and offered her a bright red apple.

Jian Ying’an: “Eat it.”

Qin Mianmian took the apple, bit into it, and then collapsed to the ground.

There were no schemes or calculations. You offered it to me, and I ate it.

This fairy tale was altered to be more thought-provoking. It retained the innocence and trust of the original fairy tale but added some… emotion.

The Queen was reluctant to harm the Princess, and the Princess trusted the Queen.

What kind of ending would such sincere affection lead to?

Ye Zhou heard someone say, “These two girls act so well.”

“Their affection is so good.”

“It is.”

Indeed, he had thought so from the first moment he saw them.

Envy from an adult.

The audience would crave a romance between the male and female leads, and they would hope for a happy ending.

But currently, the Prince had no role.

They only hoped the Queen and the Princess could be happy together, perhaps without romance.

Jian Ying’an thought the same.

The play didn’t even have the character of the Prince. The next part of the plot was that Snow White faked her death, and then the Queen took her back.

As for whether the ending was a ‘bad ending’ or a ‘happy ending’ after being taken back, that was left to the audience to decide.

But as Jian Ying’an prepared to lift Qin Mianmian from the crystal coffin, Qin Mianmian felt it wasn’t enough.

She didn’t want to go back just like that.

She wanted a Happy Ending (HE)!

So Jian Ying’an didn’t manage to pick up the plump girl.

She was grabbed by the neck by Qin Mianmian and pulled down. Then, a warmth appeared on her lips.

Qin Mianmian held Jian Ying’an’s head and kissed her.

The audience was silent for two seconds: “Wow?”

Exciting.

Qin Mianmian released Jian Ying’an, her eyes filled with a mischievous smile.

As Jian Ying’an looked astonished, she climbed out of the coffin, hugged her mother-Queen, and said, “I am willing to return to the royal palace with you!”

This was their HE.
