The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 64
The recording finished.
Overall, it was an episode designed to increase guest interaction. The script didn’t allow for much improvisation; the focus was mainly on the guests’ performances. In any case, Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian were a package deal that no one could separate.
In the end, only Qin Mianmian was left in the Rat Group, while the Cat Group didn’t manage to eliminate everyone and secured the victory.
Jiang An Yan offered to treat everyone to dinner, and the other male celebrities politely agreed.
Jian Ying’an said, “Mianmian is tired.”
Jiang An Yan: “…Alright, you take her back to rest.”
Qin Mianmian was just an ordinary person, unlike them who often spent months filming, enduring days and nights turned upside down, their bodies capable of handling the strain.
So, when the two of them left, no one complained.
At most, someone asked, “Did they know each other before?”
Because their relationship was genuinely too close—so close that they all thought it was planned, openly displaying their closeness on the show, as if they were about to officially come out and top the trending searches in the next second.
Jiang An Yan looked over, not wanting to explain. Her invitation was just a courtesy; once she had shown enough face, she would excuse herself first.
Jiang An Yan didn’t intend to say anything about Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian’s business; Jian Ying’an knew what she was doing.
Jian Ying’an painstakingly placed the person on the bed.
Qin Mianmian was already asleep. Not wanting to wake her, she was cautious the entire way back, afraid of bumping her or making any noise that would wake Mianmian up.
Even though there was an elevator, Jian Ying’an felt as exhausted as if she had climbed eight flights of stairs.
With Qin Mianmian asleep, she went to check on the progress of her plan.
The blind boxes had successfully launched and were selling very well. Since the quantity of each figurine/doll was equal, even if you didn’t get the one you wanted, it was easy to find someone to trade with, so the reviews were excellent.
The second wave of pre-sales had already begun, amounting to a significant sum of money.
Next was the Ning Group’s transportation chain, which Su Nan, in collaboration with a number of companies, had successfully taken over.
Jian Ying’an knew this was only temporary. Once the Qin family discovered the root of the problem, they would step in to warn those smaller companies. If Jian Ying’an and Su Nan couldn’t continue to hold on, all their previous efforts would be for nothing.
With the backing of the blind box sales and her film salary, they should be able to persevere.
Jian Ying’an’s fingers flew across the laptop until a phone call made her stop.
It was from Aunt Zhang.
She picked up her phone and checked the calendar, realizing it was time for the dividend distribution. Right now, Jian Ying’an was so poor that she might not be able to take Mianmian out for a big lobster dinner, and Mianmian was no longer using the Qin family’s card.
This dividend had come at a great time!
Jian Ying’an answered the phone, but Aunt Zhang wasn’t calling about the dividend.
The cleaning company she started had stabilized, and the dividends had been transferred directly to Jian Ying’an’s card several times already. Calling specifically meant there was something else to discuss.
Jian Ying’an knew this, too.
It was about… the former nanny.
The nanny who had swapped Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian.
Jian Ying’an drove out, her heart deeply unsettled and her emotions turbulent.
If it weren’t for her powerful self-control, Jian Ying’an would probably have run a red light to rush over.
In her past life, the nanny never reappeared, taking the money and vanishing, diligently keeping her promise to the Qin family.
Jian Ying’an even found it utterly ridiculous that a nanny who had committed such an immoral act would actually keep her word.
Why did that nanny show up? Could she be planning to do something to Qin Mianmian?
Qin Mianmian had just mentioned on the show that she couldn’t find her mother. What if the nanny saw it unintentionally and, still harboring maternal feelings, came looking for her?
No, calm down. Jian Ying’an took a deep breath.
The nanny went to Aunt Zhang’s place. If she were looking for someone, she should have gone to the Qin family or the school.
After the cleaning company took off, Aunt Zhang decided to move. She was now close to being a grandmother, had seen a lot of things, and was more composed.
However, this matter could not be taken lightly, which was why she urgently called Jian Ying’an over.
As soon as she walked into Aunt Zhang’s house, Aunt Zhang’s daughter-in-law poured tea.
Jian Ying’an wasn’t in the mood to drink tea.
Aunt Zhang said, “She came to my company for an interview. Originally, this wasn’t my department, but someone who saw how quick she was at work mentioned it to me.”
Aunt Zhang picked up her tea.
She owed her current position to Jian Ying’an and therefore held Jian Ying’an’s affairs close to her heart.
Aunt Zhang and that nanny had both worked for the Qin family. After such a massive incident, it was impossible for her to see the nanny and not recognize her.
Jian Ying’an was originally the Qin family’s young lady. Had this not happened, with her capabilities, she could have logically inherited the Qin Group. She was far more outstanding than Qin Xing.
Yet, a cruel twist of fate made her lose all of that and become a girl from the countryside.
Even after being recognized and brought back, she was looked down upon, and the Qin family didn’t even intend to formally acknowledge her.
Even now, Jian Ying’an’s public identity was still the adopted daughter of the Qin Group.
It was truly laughable.
Aunt Zhang knew this was all the nanny’s fault for being possessed… No, that nanny had even abused the young Jian Ying’an!
She really wanted to send the person away immediately and hide the incident, so as not to affect Jian Ying’an’s mood.
Jian Ying’an had finally managed to get her life in order. Why did that nanny have to reappear?
Aunt Zhang drank her tea. She couldn’t send the person away because Jian Ying’an loved Qin Mianmian.
And that nanny was Qin Mianmian’s biological mother.
Qin Mianmian knew about her own background. This matter concerned not only Jian Ying’an but also her.
Aunt Zhang recounted everything that happened after seeing the nanny to Jian Ying’an, asking her to decide. “I hired her and currently have her doing small tasks.”
She kept the person for the time being, just waiting for Jian Ying’an’s decision.
Jian Ying’an’s eyes were extremely cold. She wanted to chase the person away immediately, out of sight, out of mind.
She was no longer filled with hatred and couldn’t be bothered to argue with a nanny. She only wanted to be with Qin Mianmian peacefully, without being disturbed.
Aunt Zhang asked, “Do you want to meet her?”
Jian Ying’an wanted to smile, but couldn’t. “What would I say if I met her?”
Hello, long time no see? I’ve always remembered you?
If she hadn’t appeared, Jian Ying’an wouldn’t even have known which corner she had forgotten her in.
Jian Ying’an was irritable and restless. She knew Aunt Zhang was asking about Qin Mianmian. She could send the person away directly, but she couldn’t make that decision for Qin Mianmian.
Jian Ying’an clicked her tongue. “Meet!”
Even if Qin Mianmian wanted to meet her, she had to first determine if this person was a threat.
If she was going to do something crazy, she would send her away immediately.
Aunt Zhang wasn’t surprised. “Then I’ll have her come to your house tomorrow.”
Jian Ying’an thought about it. Qin Mianmian had classes tomorrow, so she could have the nanny come over, and she nodded in agreement, setting a specific time.
She wondered how the nanny’s life had been over the past decade or so.
Did she still remember the horrible things she did to an innocent little girl back then?
Leaving Aunt Zhang’s house, Jian Ying’an was still thinking about the nanny.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered legal action, but there were a few issues…
In her past life, the nanny never showed up after Jian Ying’an returned to the Qin family.
She couldn’t even catch the person and take them to court.
Now the nanny had appeared on her own, and it seemed like a chance for revenge.
But the statute of limitations had expired…
The best time to file a lawsuit was when the Qin family found Jian Ying’an, but the Qin family, to cover up their shame, actually let the nanny go!
For the sake of the Qin family’s reputation, they “forgave” the nanny on Jian Ying’an’s behalf!
The Qin family, the nanny!
Jian Ying’an gripped the steering wheel tightly.
She couldn’t help but wonder, if it were Mianmian, would she do this?
She drove the car downstairs.
Jian Ying’an didn’t get out of the car. She looked at Qin Xing, who was standing in the cold wind.
She wanted to vent her frustration, but suddenly, all the anger dissipated. Why should she confine herself to the past? She was reborn for Mianmian.
She wanted to be with Mianmian and take Mianmian out of the Qin family.
She no longer had the energy to be angry.
The emotional fluctuation came and went quickly.
She took Qin Mianmian back to the countryside, said goodbye to the past, and wanted to start a new life.
The nanny’s appearance almost threw her off balance.
Perhaps she should be angry, feel it wasn’t fair for her past self, that these people were unforgivable and didn’t deserve a good life.
But she had Qin Mianmian, and she had a good life.
Just like that, all her temper was gone.
Jian Ying’an sat in the car; it was much more comfortable inside with the air conditioning than outside.
She looked upstairs, wondering if Mianmian was awake yet.
She got out of the car.
Qin Xing had long spotted the car.
After it parked, no one got out for a long time. He felt a bit foolish just standing there, thinking maybe the person in the car was watching the spectacle, or perhaps there was someone in the passenger seat, and the two were pointing and giggling.
Look at that person, he looks like a dog.
Qin Xing didn’t want to be like this either.
He just couldn’t help it. Knowing Qin Mianmian was here, he wanted to come back and see.
That day, at the company, he sold out Jian Ying’an, saying she might have other assets.
Facing Madam Qin’s somewhat cold gaze, he still couldn’t help but try to please her, just like when he was a child, to prove himself.
But they all said, Don’t be ridiculous.
Impossible. Jian Ying’an relies on the Qin family. How could she have other assets?
Qin Xing was also scolded by Mr. Qin, and afterward, he watched Mr. Qin and Shen Jin Yu discuss matters in the office together.
He felt like he was superfluous.
Qin Xing realized that something was wrong with the Qin family.
Everything was terrible.
The Qin family could call their biological daughter an adopted one, and their biological son someone they could discard at will.
The reason they were so good to Qin Mianmian was actually so she could marry into the Shen family and be with Shen Jin Yu.
No wonder he found Shen Jin Yu so displeasing.
No, the Qin family, too, made Qin Xing feel disgusted.
A normal family shouldn’t be like this.
The Qin family would never tell him what was right or wrong; they would only say he wasn’t doing enough.
Qin Xing felt the blood flowing in his body was colder than the chilly wind.
The person who got out of the car was Jian Ying’an.
His biological sister.
They shared the same blood, both yearning for Qin Mianmian’s warmth. Qin Xing suddenly spoke, “Sister…”
Jian Ying’an got out of the car only because she wanted to go upstairs and had no intention of acknowledging Qin Xing.
Hearing the word ‘Sister’, a chill ran down her spine. “I’m Jian Ying’an, not Qin Mianmian. Are you frozen stiff?”
Qin Xing might genuinely be frozen stiff. “Is Sister upstairs then?”
Jian Ying’an: “No.”
She turned to walk upstairs.
Qin Xing followed behind, chattering, “Let me tell you, the Qin family is going to join forces with Shen Jin Yu to mess with you.”
Jian Ying’an stopped, preventing Qin Xing from following her further. She sneered, “Is it worth it?”
Qin Xing: “It is worth it.”
Qin Xing stopped too. “In their eyes, although we are nothing, taking the time to mess with us is still worthwhile.”
Jian Ying’an noticed the strange thing. “We?”
Qin Xing nodded confidently.
“I’m running away from home too, but I’m not Sister; the Qin family won’t care about me!”
“You’ve already taken my sister and run away together; one more person shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“I still have money. I’ll transfer all the money to you then, and you can spend it however you like. Anyway, I’m not leaving!”
He’d had enough.
He heard the Qin couple say they would stop Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian’s cards, so he made full preparations and spent all the money before the Qin couple stopped them!
Qin Xing didn’t know how to spend it all, so he planned to transfer it all to Jian Ying’an.
At the stairwell, he smiled like an idiot: “So, should I call you Sister-in-law next?”
