The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 49

Jian Ying’an has earned a lot of money over the years.

No one knows exactly how much. In the eyes of the Qin couple, she was merely playing around in the entertainment industry for a while, earning a bit of pocket money.

In the early days, she filmed day and night, rushed to announcements, and her free time was also spent studying. The money she earned was even less than the monthly allowance given to Qin Mianmian.

Things have only recently gotten better—and only slightly better—

While Qin Mianmian was eating, Jian Ying’an was on the phone with Su Nan.

In junior high, Jian Ying’an asked Su Nan to buy a piece of land. She provided the money, and Su Nan did the work.

Once the land was secured, instead of selling it as they had agreed, Jian Ying’an tricked Su Nan into building a large shopping mall. This infuriated Su Nan, but she couldn’t bring herself to back out.

So, it turned into a joint venture…

It’s unnecessary to detail the various difficulties during this period. In any case, most of the time, Su Nan was responsible for racking her brain, while Jian Ying’an plunged directly into the entertainment industry.

The construction of the mall was bumpy, but thankfully, Qin Mianmian and Aunt Zhang each contributed a sum of money, allowing the mall to be completed smoothly the year before last, and it has been generating revenue for the past two years.

Jian Ying’an was calculating her bank balance, feeling a little anxious.

It’s already university now.

A nine-figure balance, which sounds like a lot, is actually less than what she had in her previous life when calculated seriously.

She should have just stayed in the Qin family and manipulated those greedy people to hollow out the Qin Group!

But she couldn’t… Jian Ying’an looked at Qin Mianmian. If she wanted to take Qin Mianmian away from the Qin family, this was the only path she could choose.

The call connected, and Jian Ying’an said to Su Nan: “I want to pull off something big.”

Su Nan was unceremonious: “Go to hell, go find your Qin Mianmian, and stop bothering me.”

Jian Ying’an chuckled lightly.

Although she couldn’t do it exactly as she did in her previous life, there was still a shortcut: “Are you really not going to seize the Qin Group’s business?”

Su Nan was silent: “After seizing the Qin Group, will the Su Group be next?”

Jian Ying’an: “Why not?”

It wasn’t impossible, Su Nan clicked her tongue.

In the previous life, the Su family experienced a crisis and had to support Su Nan to become a family executive. In this life, due to Jian Ying’an’s appearance, things changed.

The Su family crisis still occurred. Su Nan didn’t heed Jian Ying’an’s advice and gave the Su Group a large sum of money in advance.

She thought: I can earn this much money, so surely, they can’t look down on me now?

Su Nan received the Su family’s gratitude, and then nothing else happened.

She lost both her money and her status.

Her brother had already become the Su family heir; she wasn’t even a family executive.

The Su family was even planning to marry her off for an alliance…

Su Nan cursed: None of these big families are any good.

Jian Ying’an was better. Coming out on her own and starting an independent business, and then acquiring them directly wouldn’t be wonderful? Su Nan was completely on board with the rogue plan.

She silently agreed to Jian Ying’an’s arrangement.

“How’s Qin Mianmian doing lately?”

Jian Ying’an was wary: “What do you want?”

Su Nan: I don’t want anything…

Qin Mianmian’s voice sounded from behind: “Sister, I’m done eating.”

Jian Ying’an decisively hung up the phone and went to clear the dishes.

Qin Mianmian’s small feet were on the sofa, a pillow hugged in her arms: “Sister.”

Jian Ying’an: “Hmm.”

Qin Mianmian: “After the news department interview, will you have any free time?”

Jian Ying’an had already cleared a whole week. She nodded: “Yes.”

Qin Mianmian: “Then should we go on a date?”

Jian Ying’an let out a cryptic laugh. She looked deeply at Qin Mianmian. Her beautiful eyes reflected Mianmian’s petite figure.

A date is for couples, but Qin Mianmian didn’t feel there was any problem with using it for them.

This perception had lasted for a long time.

Jian Ying’an’s movements were unhurried. She had considered it carefully.

She would take Qin Mianmian away.

She would also accept her.

As long as Qin Mianmian said she liked her, Jian Ying’an would be with her.

She admitted defeat.

Jian Ying’an didn’t wait for a declaration of ‘like,’ only countless dates. She was used to it: “Okay.”

Qin Mianmian’s whole demeanor relaxed considerably.

She sighed, It’s so difficult. How can I change Sister’s attitude?

Sister always indulged her. She didn’t think there was a problem with her possessiveness, nor did she think there was a problem with dating. Whatever she said, Sister would answer ‘okay.’

She was afraid that Sister’s change would be a form of distance, and she also resented Sister for not changing.

Qin Mianmian huffed.

Sister was still that amazing, amazing Sister.

But that didn’t stop Sister from being a blockhead.

S University News Department

The few girls who added Qin Mianmian’s WeChat yesterday stayed up all night to scroll through Qin Mianmian’s Weibo and Moments, trying to find traces of her and Jian Ying’an.

Qin Mianmian seemed easy to talk to and appeared to come from a good family.

But that was Jian Ying’an; did she really know her?

The girls didn’t sleep all night, both excited about being able to interview Jian Ying’an and worried that Qin Mianmian might say she couldn’t arrange it.

Unable to sleep, they also went through Jian Ying’an’s Weibo.

Qin Mianmian’s Moments were very clean, only talking about academic progress or what she had eaten recently, without revealing anything about her social circle.

However, her Weibo only consisted of reposts of Jian Ying’an’s Weibo and liked messages.

This led the girls to constantly speculate.

Was it unrequited love, or mutual affection?

Bah, overthinking it. It’s easy to overthink when you can’t sleep at night.

Early in the morning, they arrived at the news department with dark circles under their eyes.

Jian Ying’an’s Weibo was even cleaner, only featuring posts about the dramas she had filmed and notifications about their release, without even a single ‘like.’

She was busy filming and rarely accepted interviews. It was precisely this attitude that made everyone like her.

She had a high-cold, beautiful face, didn’t create drama, and was quiet and composed.

Could their small school news department really secure an interview?

The people in the news department waited for a long time.

As expected, it won’t work, they thought. But they couldn’t blame Qin Mianmian; she only offered to help. Regardless of success, they should thank her.

The news department staff began to lose hope, preparing to interview Shen Jinyu according to their original plan.

Someone knocked on the door.

The door was open, and the knock was merely a courtesy. They instinctively looked over and saw Jian Ying’an’s face, naturally beautiful and stunningly gorgeous.

She seemed to naturally possess a sense of detachment from people, so coolly detached she didn’t seem to belong to this world.

It made people unable to utter anything superfluous, only praise for her aura and beauty.

No wonder she became popular so easily.

Qin Mianmian peeked out from behind Jian Ying’an, giving everyone a playful greeting, and then intimately linked arms with Jian Ying’an.

One was cute, the other was beautiful.

A mature woman and a young, innocent girl.

Someone was quick-witted, taking a quick snap: click. They immediately apologized: “It was involuntary; I won’t share it.”

Qin Mianmian curled her lips: “Share it! Of course, you should share it!”

Wasn’t she just bringing her sister here to flaunt their affection? How could she not share it!

That person looked at Jian Ying’an, who nodded. She pulled Qin Mianmian along and asked, “Can we sit down?”

The news department hurriedly pulled out chairs for the two to sit down.

They hadn’t yet recovered from the shock. They thought, Qin Mianmian really knows Jian Ying’an. That’s great.

The news department was small. The corners were piled with papers and books, and two large bookshelves lined the walls, also packed full.

They held professional equipment in their hands, looking serious, truly resembling a small studio.

The news department was a little cramped… Hearing that Jian Ying’an might come, almost everyone showed up. The small space had nearly ten people standing, with only Jian Ying’an, Qin Mianmian, and the person in charge of the interview and note-taking able to sit down.

The rest stood, their gazes burning, staring at Jian Ying’an with an intensity that could almost leave a brand on her skin.

Fortunately, Jian Ying’an was long accustomed to facing the camera.

The girl in charge of the interview, let’s call her the Host for now.

The Host didn’t dare to speak loudly. She hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked the first question: “Did you enter the entertainment industry when you were six?”

Jian Ying’an smiled slightly: “Yes, I filmed a variety show at the time.”

The Host became excited: “It was called Fuzzy Babies, Go! right? I looked up the information last night. You were very cute then! And there was another young guest…”

The Host stopped mid-sentence, remembering something, and turned to look at Qin Mianmian.

That young guest was named Qin Mianmian.

Qin Mianmian clapped her hands, happily saying: “That was me!”

She lifted her chin, her pride overwhelming, showing quite a change from the little sidekick of a decade ago.

We didn’t expect this! No wonder Qin Mianmian could invite Jian Ying’an. The two have had a good relationship for over ten years! The Host noted this: “What made you think of entering the entertainment industry at that time?”

Jian Ying’an: “It was quite fun, and then I met Senior Jiang. She brought me into the entertainment industry.”

These were inconsequential small questions.

Senior Jiang was Jiang An’yan, who debuted in a girl group, later transitioned to acting, and eventually won an “Actress of the Year” award.

The Host naturally knew all this because many of Jian Ying’an’s fans shipped the newcomer x movie queen CP… The age gap wasn’t the issue; the focus was on the mentoring relationship.

The Host originally wanted to focus on this, but she excitedly recorded halfway, inadvertently looked up, and met Qin Mianmian’s eyes.

She was smiling, but her expression didn’t look very happy, seemingly because of Senior Jiang.

The Host’s hand paused. On a whim, she blurted out: “May I ask… do you have someone you like?”

This question was too abrupt. After asking, the Host felt uneasy and wanted to say she didn’t have to answer, but her eyes were clearly curious, wanting to know the answer.

Jian Ying’an answered frankly: “Yes, I do.”

Everyone held their breath.

Oh my god! She really does! Is this news something their school news department should be hearing?

This explosive scoop could sell for a lot of money!

The Host’s hands were trembling: “R… really?”

She looked foolish.

Jian Ying’an: “Really.”

She said.

“I like Mianmian the most. I’ve always liked her.”

Qin Mianmian looked slightly helpless and shy: “Sister!”

The Host took two seconds to clear her thoughts. Oh, as expected of someone from the entertainment industry, she’s a veteran.

How could such news be revealed with a single question?

She regained her composure and asked a few more questions.

They stopped only when they had enough material to fill the column, with plenty of extras.

She stood up: “Thank you so much, Student Jian, for agreeing to the interview. Let me treat you to a meal!”

Jian Ying’an gave a meaningful half-smile.

The Host hesitated: “Is the school cafeteria, okay?”

It’s fine, I’m not picky.

Jian Ying’an, with her nine-figure balance, had somehow become stingy. As long as Qin Mianmian had no objection, she had no objection.

Jian Ying’an held Qin Mianmian’s hand, strolling leisurely along the campus path.

The road was quiet, with no one to disturb them.

The Host followed behind. She had originally wanted to introduce the campus to Jian Ying’an as an upperclassman. As a member of the news department, she also knew a lot of insider gossip.

Qin Mianmian declined her offer and kept talking next to Jian Ying’an.

She gesticulated, calling her ‘Sister’ crisply with every other word.

Jian Ying’an even stopped to tuck the stray hairs on Qin Mianmian’s cheeks behind her ears.

The gesture was careful and gentle.

The Host was momentarily stunned. That ‘like’… was it not just a courtesy?
