The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 59
What’s the use of arguing? They should just fight.
The staff at the hot spring resort rarely saw such excitement. Risking a deduction in their bonus, they hid in a corner to watch the two girls argue.
The two girls were arguing quite childishly.
“So what if your idol has ten million followers! How many of those are bots?”
“So what if your net worth is in the billions? Can you withdraw it all and spend it immediately?”
A staff member clenched their fist, staring at them intently, whispering, “Fight! Fight!”
“Fight what?”
Jian Ying’an stood behind several staff members, listening to their excited voices, and followed their gaze.
Jian Ying’an: “…” She saw two childish people arguing.
The staff didn’t know that Jian Ying’an was one of the people they were talking about. Seeing her stand there without moving, they thought she was joining the fun.
The atmosphere was just right, all they needed were some melon seeds. A staff member regretted, “Those two girls just started arguing, it was very intense.”
Meng Yaran walked over leisurely and saw Jian Ying’an standing still in front.
She stepped forward to look and also saw the two childish people arguing.
Meng Yaran: “…”
The two exchanged a look and listened to the staff member’s commentary.
“It started with adding each other on WeChat. They were tapping on the keyboard so fast, I was worried their screen protectors would crack.”
“Then they felt typing was too slow, so they just started shouting.”
“We thought it was something serious, but it turns out they’re just comparing whose older sister is better. Such a small thing, yet they’re arguing so intensely.”
“What’s the use of arguing! They should just fight!”
Jian Ying’an saw Qin Mianmian’s face flushed with anger and she truly looked like she was about to get physical. However, given Qin Mianmian’s upbringing, it was impossible for her to actually start a fight.
At most, a verbal argument.
Meng Yaran heard them comparing sisters and listened with interest for a moment.
In Li Dong’s mouth, it was the rich sister.
For Qin Mianmian, it was Jian Ying’an.
Meng Yaran: “Is the rich sister referring to me?”
She felt a little pleased, almost laughing out loud and stepping forward to offer a reward.
Jian Ying’an withdrew her gaze and looked at the few staff members: “Is this your break time?”
The staff members stiffened. They cleared their throats and dispersed quickly, apparently afraid of being reported and worried about their bonus.
Jian Ying’an watched them leave.
Confirming that no one else was hiding and watching the show, Jian Ying’an walked over.
When she walked over, the two people who were arguing fiercely hadn’t seen her yet. Qin Mianmian insisted in rebuttal: “No bots! Absolutely none!”
Li Dong: “Then you say she has ten million fans. Do you have the guts to organize those fans to each donate one hundred dollars! Even if each person donates one hundred, her net worth still wouldn’t reach a hundred billion!”
Qin Mianmian: “Can you compare them like that?”
Li Dong: “Why can’t I?”
One is an estimated valuation, and the other is liquid assets. Of course, they’re different! Anyway, my sister is more amazing!
Qin Mianmian felt that Li Dong didn’t even know this much and still had the nerve to argue with her.
Jian Ying’an couldn’t listen anymore: “Could you two please tone it down.”
Complete silence.
Qin Mianmian and Li Dong both looked at Jian Ying’an and closed their mouths in unison.
They were making fools of themselves and were caught by one of the people they were talking about! Li Dong felt a little better that the person who found them was Jian Ying’an; given her thick skin, it was no big deal!
Then she saw Meng Yaran.
Li Dong recalled her own words, “rich sister,” from moments ago. Her toes curled, and she immediately pulled Qin Mianmian’s hand: “We were just messing around~”
Qin Mianmian shook her off: “Who was messing around? My sister is the best, no matter what!”
Although she was embarrassed to be caught, she would never back down on this bottom line!
Li Dong: “…Yes, yes, your sister is the best.”
Meng Yaran glanced at her: “Am I not good enough?”
Li Dong: “…”
Just as Meng Yaran and Li Dong were about to have a discussion about who was good enough, Jian Ying’an quickly pulled Qin Mianmian away, leaving Meng Yaran and the other girl in the lobby.
Let them sort it out however they want.
Qin Mianmian was still angry.
She didn’t care about Meng Yaran or the hundred billion net worth.
After all, she grew up in the Qin family, so her vision was broad, and she felt a hundred billion net worth was nothing special.
She just felt her sister was more amazing!
Qin Mianmian followed Jian Ying’an with quick, small steps: “I won the argument!”
Jian Ying’an chuckled: “You’re quite proud.”
Jian Ying’an was curious: “How did you two start arguing?”
Qin Mianmian recalled the reason. Her chest, which had been puffed out confidently, shrank back, and she felt a little embarrassed to speak.
The cause… seemed to have been initiated by her.
She couldn’t say that. Qin Mianmian nervously pulled back her hands and clasped them behind her back.
If her sister knew the reason, she would definitely think she was childish. She was someone who wanted to be with her sister; she couldn’t be looked down upon!
She mustn’t tell! If her sister knew, it would be difficult for her to confess her feelings actively!
Qin Mianmian puffed out her chest again: “It was Li Dong’s fault!”
Her small posture of insisting she wasn’t wrong… was also quite childish.
Jian Ying’an: “What was Li Dong wrong about?”
Qin Mianmian wasn’t very good at lying in front of Jian Ying’an. She stammered, her gaze drifting. The decision she had just made was instantly abandoned. She spoke in a tiny voice, afraid of being overheard: “She praised Meng Yaran for being excellent.”
Jian Ying’an choked up: “And then you thought I was better?”
“Of course, Sister is better.”
Jian Ying’an smiled: “Mm, Mianmian is also very good. That’s why I like Mianmian so much.”
Qin Mianmian paused in her steps.
She ran to stand in front of Jian Ying’an, staring intently into Jian Ying’an’s eyes, then her expression filled with joy: “What did Sister just say?”
Qin Mianmian’s eyes widened, her gaze faintly expectant. The knowledge from her browser flooded back into her mind.
Things like, being together only requires mutual affection; a confession is just a formality; the most important thing is genuine feeling.
But upon hearing that word, like, she still couldn’t stop feeling happy.
Qin Mianmian’s breathing grew warm. She thought: Sister said she likes me, Sister said she likes me first.
But it was also a little different. Qin Mianmian frowned. She wanted Jian Ying’an to be more serious about it, not just say ‘like’ casually.
If this counted, she had already lost a long time ago. She had told her sister she liked her countless times.
Did this count as a confession?
Were they together now?
Jian Ying’an didn’t know what Qin Mianmian was thinking and repeated: “I said I like you.”
She took Mianmian’s hand, placed it over her own chest, and walked forward casually: “I like you, I like Mianmian.”
Qin Mianmian walked for a while, momentarily dazed.
Her eyes narrowed. No, it doesn’t count!
Qin Mianmian suddenly remembered.
“Why did you come here with Meng Yaran!”
She and Li Dong argued for ages, yet the two of them came over together! Qin Mianmian hadn’t noticed at the time, but now that she thought about it, she was very angry!
Qin Mianmian was fuming.
She felt that Jian Ying’an was excellent, the best person in the world.
Of course, far, far better than Li Dong—
So in Qin Mianmian’s mind, if Meng Yaran liked someone, she would like her sister!
Li Dong had nothing to do with it!
However! While she was arguing with Li Dong, her sister was with Meng Yaran!
Qin Mianmian immediately became defensive: “You said you had something to do, was it to go find her?”
No wonder she felt her sister’s ‘I like you’ was a bit perfunctory; it turned out she was with another woman this morning.
She was kept in the dark like a fool!
Qin Mianmian shook off her hand. Both of them stopped. Jian Ying’an stood with empty hands, watching Qin Mianmian’s suspicious look.
“You can’t go looking for her!”
Qin Mianmian and Jian Ying’an had been together since childhood; there was no room for anyone else, not in the past, the present, or the future.
Qin Mianmian’s jealousy was overturned. She was anxious and worried. She recalled Li Dong’s words praising Meng Yaran: “I’m good-looking too, I’m rich too, I’m excellent too.”
She didn’t want to lose to Meng Yaran. At least in Jian Ying’an’s heart, she absolutely could not admit defeat!
Jian Ying’an: “…”
She looked up at the sky, only to realize she was indoors and could only see the ceiling.
She looked down and saw Qin Mianmian biting her lower lip, hesitant to speak, her expression stubbornly fixed on her.
Jian Ying’an was stunned for a moment, then felt extremely happy.
She covered her mouth to prevent herself from uncontrollably raising the corners of her lips, which would give away her expression.
Jian Ying’an was in no hurry to explain and wanted to see Mianmian stay angry for a little longer.
So cute. Even her angry expression was so cute.
Jian Ying’an bit her finger, keeping herself from laughing out loud or getting too smug. She appreciated every one of Qin Mianmian’s expressions, then turned her head, her shoulders shaking slightly.
She couldn’t hold it in anymore. She finally gave in and pulled her into an embrace: “Your phone has been on Do Not Disturb all the time. That’s very inconvenient.”
Qin Mianmian remembered that the Qin family was still looking for her, and her voice gradually softened: “…It’s not inconvenient at all.”
Being with her sister at the hot spring resort was delightful. Why bother answering calls?
Jian Ying’an: “What if I wanted to call you?”
Qin Mianmian stared at Jian Ying’an with innocent, watery deer-like eyes: “As long as I’m always by your side, there’s no need to call!”
Qin Mianmian nervously asked: “Do you want me to go back?”
She worried that her sister was under too much pressure and wanted to drive her away. If that were the case… she would go back to the Qin family first, and just drag things out!
Drag things out with Shen Jin Yu!
And wait for her sister to come and get her!
Her sister would definitely come for her!
But at the thought of Meng Yaran, Qin Mianmian looked helpless. She awkwardly clutched at her fingers, unwilling to look at her sister, afraid of hearing what she didn’t want to hear.
Jian Ying’an’s eyelid twitched: “Why would I let you go back? I worked hard to ‘snatch’ you.”
She patiently explained: “Only when the Qin family is busy and has no time to care about you can you truly rest and go to class normally. Then, after class, we can go out and have fun together.”
“So I plan to steal the Qin family’s business.”
Jian Ying’an and Su Nan had discussed this for a long time. It wasn’t that she deliberately hid it from Qin Mianmian, just that she hadn’t mentioned it.
Qin Mianmian only knew that Jian Ying’an had plans to leave the Qin family, but she didn’t know the specifics.
Now, seeing the little pitiable person overthinking things, Jian Ying’an had to proactively explain: “Ning Group is responsible for Qin’s transportation chain. I have to find a way to snatch it, and even if I can’t, I have to make the Qin family suffer for a while.”
Meng Yaran was the CEO of Ning Group; outside, everyone called her Mrs. Ning.
That’s why she went to find Meng Yaran.
Jian Ying’an spoke slowly, explaining everything clearly to Qin Mianmian, word by word.
“So don’t talk about going back anymore. I won’t allow you to go back.”
Qin Mianmian turned her head and saw a bouquet of flowers displayed in the corridor.
They were vibrant red roses. After a morning had passed, the dew had evaporated. The originally full petals looked like they were covered in a layer of dust, appearing lifeless.
She looked at her sister.
Thinking about it carefully, she understood Jian Ying’an’s meaning.
Her sister had said before that she was going to the hot spring resort to intercept someone and asked if she wanted to come along.
She hadn’t thought much at the time, only wanting to be by her sister’s side.
Qin Mianmian calmed down: “So you went to see Meng Yaran this morning to discuss a collaboration?”
Jian Ying’an nodded.
Qin Mianmian: “No other meaning?”
Jian Ying’an: “I’m playing matchmaker, introducing her to Li Dong. I just want Li Dong to be responsible for making her happy, and then I can reap the benefits.”
It was a genuine surprise that those two actually hit it off.
Qin Mianmian: “Then, this…”
The misunderstanding was huge. She had even been angry with her sister. Qin Mianmian felt a bit helpless and regretful.
“Li Dong…”
She probably shouldn’t have argued with Li Dong. Li Dong helped with such a big favor.
Although Li Dong’s main goal was also to find the rich sister, which made this a mutually beneficial matter, thinking about what happened in the lobby, Qin Mianmian blushed slightly.
She reflected: she shouldn’t have argued.
She should have even gone to help ease Li Dong’s worries and comfort her: No problem, you two are a perfect match, don’t worry about it.
That way, the success rate would be higher.
But she had argued…
Qin Mianmian cleared up the misunderstanding, turned her head away in embarrassment, and felt ashamed.
Qin Mianmian: “Is it too late for me to go find Li Dong now?”
Jian Ying’an shook her head: “If we go now, we’ll be third wheels.”
That’s true. Qin Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly raised her hand and clutched Jian Ying’an’s clothes: “Sister, you’re not angry, are you?”
Angry? How could she be? Jian Ying’an was too happy to be angry. She loved seeing Qin Mianmian care about her.
But Jian Ying’an was a bad person.
Her expression was “heartbroken”: “You didn’t trust me.”
Qin Mianmian anxiously said: “Sister, no…”
Jian Ying’an pressed her hand on Qin Mianmian’s to stop her from defending herself, raising a mischievous smile: “So you’re responsible for making me happy next.”
Qin Mianmian stammered: “H-how do I make you happy?”
