The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 78

Jian Ying’an transferred a few thousand yuan to Qin Xing.

Qin Xing took the money but didn’t leave. He had an “I have something to say” look on his face, waiting for them to ask.

Then, the air fell silent.

Qin Xing: “Can’t you just ask?”

Jian Ying’an cooperated: “Still not leaving?”

Qin Xing: “…”

He couldn’t live like this! Slam!

He simply cast aside the worries in his heart and proactively spoke: “I’ve been called in by the teacher for a parent meeting!”

Jian Ying’an saw Qin Xing’s eyes dim. She and Qin Mianmian exchanged glances, and neither said anything.

Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian are only freshmen in college. Qin Xing just started his final year of high school at their old school, where teachers would occasionally invite parents to discuss matters.

It was impossible for the Qin family elders to attend.

They themselves had been invited before, and on the day of the parent-teacher conference, two seats in the classroom remained empty.

These kinds of things could be dealt with by simply telling the teacher.

But the fact that Qin Xing insisted on bringing it up meant he didn’t want a seat in his classroom to be empty.

Qin Xing is in his senior year of high school, the most crucial year of his student life.

Jian Ying’an now held the role of an elder sister, and she adopted a parental tone: “You want me to attend the parent meeting?”

Qin Xing looked nervous: “No…”

“It’s not a parent meeting. I got into a fight with a classmate, and he’s in the hospital.”

So it was calling a parent—

Jian Ying’an wanted to beat him into the hospital too!

Qin Mianmian’s feelings for Qin Xing ran deeper, so she managed to ask: “Why did you fight?”

Qin Xing felt somewhat embarrassed, recalling the scene but also growing angry: “Didn’t my friends see you guys before? Then they went back and said some inappropriate things…”

Jian Ying’an took in his every expression: “What did they say?”

Qin Xing opened his mouth, then slowly explained: “At the time, wasn’t I not fond of you? They wanted your contact information, so I spoke rashly and said some disparaging things. A few days ago, someone had a birthday, and they suggested inviting you over.”

Jian Ying’an has a celebrity identity, and he has a rich second-generation identity.

That’s how it was in the eyes of his fox-and-dog friends.

The group said, “No celebrity is too expensive to hire.”

They instigated Qin Xing to invite Jian Ying’an to join them for the birthday celebration.

Qin Xing didn’t dare explain that she was his biological sister, as he had never told that group about his own affairs, only vaguely saying: Stop talking about it.

But then they suggested that Jian Ying’an might have slept around to get where she is.

And then Qin Xing punched him.

His eyes were red as he roared: “I told you to stop talking, didn’t you hear me?!”

His former fox-and-dog friend, being hit, also lost it: “Who doesn’t know you, Qin Xing, got kicked out? Look at your recent spending, you can’t even afford a bottle of water, can you? You can’t even invite one person over, are you embarrassed?”

Qin Xing then started fighting with him.

He knew this group was friends with him because of his identity, because any small amount of money he spent was in the four-digits and up.

But he hadn’t expected them to turn on him so quickly.

After he ran away from home, he transferred all his money to Jian Ying’an. He had been learning to live like a normal person during this time, and hadn’t spent much money. In their eyes, it meant Qin Xing had been kicked out.

Qin Xing’s anger was genuine.

His guilt and regret were also genuine.

The whole mess was his fault.

Qin Xing had done wrong. He should have kept this a secret, but he still asked Jian Ying’an if she could go, because after explaining, he lowered his head and apologized: “I’m sorry.”

He didn’t expect forgiveness.

He did wrong, and he should let Jian Ying’an know, because he owed her an apology.

Qin Xing used to think Jian Ying’an was terrible, stubbornly believing that only Qin Mianmian was his sister.

It wasn’t until he suddenly realized the truth that he saw how absurd the Qin family was.

Where was Jian Ying’an terrible? She did all the right things. He was also disappointed in the Qin couple.

What was the point of being close to such parents?

All Jian Ying’an did was leave the Qin family and take Qin Mianmian with her.

She didn’t try to usurp Qin Mianmian’s identity, and in fact, it was rightfully hers. She was very kind to Qin Mianmian, not at all like the servants had claimed.

Jian Ying’an never schemed against Qin Mianmian.

In contrast, their own suspicions were the truly ugly ones.

Jian Ying’an was his biological sister, and Qin Mianmian could also be his sister. They could have had a happy life.

Qin Xing thought, if he was disappointed in the Qin family, wouldn’t Jian Ying’an be disappointed in him? Disappointment was normal…

These mistakes couldn’t be washed clean by simply calling her ‘sister’ thick-skinnedly.

He had been freeloading at the apartment for a long time, and still visited often.

Qin Xing didn’t dare to look up. After saying “I’m sorry,” if Jian Ying’an didn’t accept, he would leave.

That was the best choice.

Jian Ying’an scoffed: “If apologies were useful, the cost of being willful would be too low.”

Sure enough, Qin Xing let his hands drop. He took out the key from his pocket, intending to hand it back to them. He glanced fondly around the small apartment, the light in his pupils flaring and then dying out.

He wouldn’t be able to have this happiness anymore.

Qin Mianmian took the key.

Qin Xing smiled at her. Since childhood, he had always been very fond of this sister.

She was a good person, the only gentleness in the Qin family.

Qin Xing walked toward the door.

Jian Ying’an stopped him: “Where are you going?”

Qin Xing stopped in surprise, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

Why hadn’t he known Jian Ying’an was so kind before?

Jian Ying’an: “Talking bad about me behind my back? Transfer the money back!”

Qin Xing: “…”

He wanted to cry.

Qin Xing wiped away a tear of sorrow: “Can I treat it as a loan? I don’t want to drop out of school to work right now. I still want to get into college before working part-time.”

Jian Ying’an was surprised: “You actually thought of working part-time?”

Qin Xing: “I thought of it when I ran away from home, and I’ve been researching it recently.”

He thought of it when he ran away, but he still chose to transfer all the money he had to Jian Ying’an.

That money would have been enough for him to live on for several years.

Jian Ying’an thought of this: “Speaking of which, you’ve been away for so long. Haven’t they called you?”

They actually let Qin Xing wander around freely.

Qin Xing covered his chest. No, they really hadn’t.

The Qin couple didn’t actively look for Qin Mianmian, but at least they called and sent people to the school to find her. As for Qin Xing, they probably hadn’t even noticed their son wasn’t home.

Qin Xing felt even more strongly that this pair of parents was absurd.

Actually, he was wrong about that. Mrs. Qin had intended to look for him, but Mr. Qin was causing trouble, and she went to stop him.

They found out, but decided it wasn’t important, so they didn’t look.

Qin Xing’s expression was pitiful.

Jian Ying’an guessed it was related to the Qin family selling stocks. This unlucky fellow happened to bump into that, so in comparison, he seemed less important.

But that wasn’t much of an explanation; it just meant business was more important than children.

Jian Ying’an didn’t dwell on it: “Work to pay it back. I’ll draft a contract for you.”

Qin Xing knew Jian Ying’an had her own businesses, and the little money the Qin family gave her was nowhere near enough for her to spoil Qin Mianmian.

Qin Xing’s lips curved upward.

Jian Ying’an: “I’ll go see the teacher tomorrow.”

Qin Mianmian also wanted to go: “I’ll go too.”

Two people going together was a real honor for Qin Xing.

Qin Xing was just too happy. Even if Jian Ying’an made him work for a lifetime, he would foolishly sign the contract right now.

So it was decided.

Jian Ying’an had a class in the morning. She had taken too much leave recently, so she avoided skipping now whenever possible.

She went to Qin Xing’s school in the afternoon with Qin Mianmian.

They had both studied high school here for three years, so returning to the campus felt very familiar.

They hadn’t left for even a year, but the security guard recognized them: “Back to visit your teachers?”

Something like that.

The senior year curriculum was heavy, so even Qin Xing was dutifully attending class.

Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian went straight to the teacher’s office. Their former homeroom teacher thought they were back to visit her and looked touched, just about to say that they had just started university and didn’t need to come back.

Then she saw Jian Ying’an walk directly to another teacher: “Excuse me, are you Qin Xing’s homeroom teacher?”

Both teachers were stunned for a few seconds.

Qin Mianmian greeted their former homeroom teacher, and Jian Ying’an said to Qin Xing’s teacher: “There’s no one home. I’m his sister. I’ve heard about everything.”

Qin Xing’s teacher: “Ah? Oh…”

He was momentarily at a loss for words, but finally got back on track after a long moment.

Qin Xing’s teacher: “No matter what, hitting someone is wrong, and he even put the person in the hospital. The other parent is now demanding an apology and compensation. And this is senior year; every second counts! Being hospitalized really delays their studies…”

Jian Ying’an listened for a while.

Qin Xing’s teacher thought she had taken it in and felt a little pity for the young girl: “This matter…”

Jian Ying’an asked: “Can he still get into college?”

Qin Xing’s teacher didn’t catch on: “It’s only the first semester; it’s not like he won’t be able to leave the hospital until before the college entrance exam.”

If that were the case, he’d be nearly paralyzed.

Jian Ying’an patiently asked: “I mean, is his academic performance good enough to get into college?”

Qin Xing’s teacher: “…His performance is indeed not ideal.”

Jian Ying’an: “Then there’s no talk of delaying studies.”

Her tone was very dismissive.

Qin Xing’s teacher decided to let the other parent handle the discussion.

The other parent arrived quickly, clearly believing that since Qin Xing was from the Qin family, the compensation wouldn’t be low, and they were prepared to make an exorbitant demand.

However, when they arrived, they only saw two young girls who looked about the same age as their son.

Jian Ying’an: “I’m his sister.”

Their former homeroom teacher looked at Qin Mianmian. Shouldn’t you be Qin Xing’s sister?

Qin Xing’s sister is surnamed Jian?

This teacher knew the two students had a good relationship, and it looked like they really were together.

They had already graduated, so the teacher didn’t say much.

Qin Xing’an’s teacher: “Qin Xing is still in class. I’ll call him over.”

The boy who was beaten was in the hospital, so he couldn’t be called over for a confrontation.

The other parent looked intimidating and not easily fooled: “You can’t just rely on your family’s wealth to casually beat people. My son was put in the hospital, and you absolutely must apologize!”

“And pay for the medical expenses and damages!”

Qin Xing was called over, and hearing these words, he shouted: “I won’t apologize!”

Qin Xing’s teacher made a gesture to intervene.

They couldn’t start arguing in the school; it would affect his bonus.

Jian Ying’an met the parent’s gaze: “I’m sorry!”

Qin Xing looked at Jian Ying’an. Huh, what? You’re just going to apologize like that? Apologize for what?!

Jian Ying’an sneered: “I’m sorry. Because your son spread rumors about me, slandered me, and ruined my personal reputation, my brother beat him up. I apologize to you.”

The other parent mulled over the words.

Why did that sound so wrong?

Jian Ying’an was very calm: “Regarding the compensation you want, I will fulfill it all.”

Anyway, she would make Qin Xing work to earn the money back later.

She apologized and promised to pay.

It was unbelievably fast.

The other parent was slow to be satisfied: “And you still need to apologize to my son in person!”

Jian Ying’an readily agreed: “No problem.”

“Now, let’s talk about the things your son said.”

“Publicly insulting others and fabricating facts for slander is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years.”

Jian Ying’an gave a faint smile: “Coincidentally, your son won’t be able to get into college anyway, so why not go to jail for advanced studies? I’ll send you the lawyer’s letter. I have a professional legal team for a lawsuit.”

Even if they couldn’t get him sent to jail, she would make the other party suffer a great loss.
