Transmigrating As a Poor Fake Heiress with Trillions in Family Asset - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Year-End

Yan Ye’s life had taken a turn for the worse again. Looking back, he felt it all started when An Siyuan returned to the An family. If that upheaval hadn’t happened, how could Sang Jing have transformed into the woman she was today?

While stewing in his resentment, Yan Ye encountered An Siyuan at a banquet. To his shock, she was unrecognizable. The timid, “shabby” girl was gone, replaced by a radiant woman exuding confidence. He overheard guests praising her: “That’s the young Master Yao chatting with Miss An. They look so well-matched!” “True, but do you know how many people are chasing her now? She saved the An family single-handedly.”

The gossip turned more stinging: “The unluckiest one has to be President Yan. Before, the ‘fake’ Miss Sang was devoted to him, and the ‘real’ Miss An had a crush on him. Now, neither of them wants anything to do with him.”

Exploding with internal rage, Yan Ye cornered An Siyuan on a balcony. He pinned her against the railing, his voice dripping with venom. “It’s all because of you! You belong in the slums. Was it the glitter of the rich district that seduced you? You’re no different from those gold-digging ‘waidai’ (escorts) who do anything for money!”

An Siyuan stared at him, heart aching—not from love, but from the sheer malice of his words. In the original novel, she would have endured this abuse. But this An Siyuan was a pillar of a corporation. She shoved his hand away. “Mr. Yan, whether I return home is none of your business. Any misfortune you face is your own doing. We have been nothing to each other since the day you broke the engagement.” She left him standing in the cold wind, looking at him with nothing but contempt.

…

Global Scandal

Two days later, international news sites exploded with scandalous headlines:

Shocking! Heir of Z’s Super-Wealthy Yan Family Refuses Responsibility After One-Night Stand, Seeks to Hire a Hitman!

Is He Impotent? Rumors Swirl Around Handsome Z-Country Tycoon!

Socialite Missing: Was Yan Ye’s ‘Set-up’ Partner Silenced Forever?

Because Yan Ye had been a prominent figure in international social circles during his studies, the news spread like wildfire. Netizens from Country R and Country H, still riding the high of the New Year Festival, were particularly incensed. “He tried to sabotage the Jing-Selection? The man is evil! I used to think he was a dream man; now I just want to spit on him!”

The “Global Buy” fans were even more protective: “President Sang is a career woman! Don’t let these messy romances distract her from delivering our goods!”

Yan Ye tried to suppress the news, but while he had influence domestically, he couldn’t control the international web. Worse, the scandal hit the company where it hurt: The stock price. The Yan Group’s market value began to evaporate as shareholders panicked.

Yan Ye’s father and grandfather lambasted him. “If you had just married An Siyuan, she could have cleared this up as a ‘misunderstanding’! But you obsessed over Sang Jing, and look at the result!”

…

The Miracle of Jing-Selection

While the Yan Group bled, Jing-Selection thrived. Their year-end report was staggering: Six months since launch, Total Transaction Volume exceeded 200 billion yuan! Registered users surpassed 100 million!

Headlines screamed: Jing-Selection’s 6-month sales exceeded 50% of the entire Kou Mall national revenue!

In an interview with a prestigious economic magazine, Sang Jing was asked if she expected such rapid success. “Of course,” she replied with a confident smile. “Modern life is fast. Online shopping saves the most precious resource: time. And with our price advantage, who could resist?”

She revealed that during the final New Year push, they hit a daily transaction volume of 10 billion yuan. When asked about the future, she stated clearly: “The domestic market is not the end. Foreign users need this software just as much.”

While some foreign entrepreneurs scoffed at her “arrogance,” Sang Jing was already moving.

…

Breaking the Plot

Sang Jing finally tracked down Wu Lingshan. To stabilize the stock price and appease public fury, the Yan family elders and the public were demanding that Yan Ye marry her to “take responsibility.”

Sang Jing met with Grandfather Yan, a sharp 80-year-old who still held sway in the company. “I want the Yan Group to stop interfering with Jing-Selection,” Sang Jing told him. The old man smirked. “You’re the one who leaked the hotel scandal abroad, aren’t you?” Sang Jing didn’t confirm or deny (it was actually Kou Yan’s doing), but her silence was taken as an admission. The old man refused to rein in his grandson, claiming the company would eventually be Yan Ye’s to do with as he pleased.

Fine. Sang Jing played her final card. She contacted major shareholders and Yan family relatives, “persuading” them that a marriage with Wu Lingshan was the only way to save the stock. Under immense pressure, Yan Ye was forced to agree to the union.

The moment the engagement news broke, the transparent panel in front of Sang Jing flashed. [Plot Deviation: 40%]

A New System Feature

The system, usually silent, chimed in: [Plot Deviation reached 40%. New Feature Unlocked: Plot Persistence Analysis.] [Would you like to analyze why the plot hasn’t fully deviated?]

Sang Jing immediately agreed. The system explained:

“Original plot deviation is determined by three factors:

1. Perceptions of the leads toward the Host.
2. Perceptions of supporting characters/the public.
3. The danger coefficient of the Host’s environment.

Analysis: While perceptions have changed, the Danger Coefficient remains high. The Male Lead (Yan Ye) still harbors a desire to ‘end’ the Host’s life, mirroring the original novel’s late-stage ‘villainess destruction’ arc.”

Sang Jing realized that as long as a powerful character like Yan Ye wanted her dead, she would never reach 100% safety. She looked at the news of Yan Ye and Wu Lingshan. She could try to “reform” him, but she knew his character—selfish and ego-driven.

She made her choice: She would not be the fish on the chopping block. She would crush the Yan Group underfoot until she became someone Yan Ye could never reach, let alone harm.
