Chapter 196: True Identity Revealed
Five days later.
Three shocking news stories broke in the Capital Circle.
First: Lin Tinghe ultimately passed away due to health reasons, at the age of forty-three.
Second: Lin Tinghe’s eldest son, who had disappeared for thirteen years, showed up at the funeral with a paternity test and inheritance documents, to see his father off on his final journey.
Third: Bai Yingjie’s daughter, lost for fifteen years, was found, and a lively family recognition banquet was held for her, where she was introduced in front of Capital Circle big shots.
When the reports shot to the top of the hot searches.
The students at Jin Cheng Ninth High School were all stunned when they saw that familiar face!
They had once thought Su Wanyuan was poor and only able to study thanks to financial aid, but she turned out to be from the Capital City’s Bai Family!
And the most promising one in the Bai Family, with the highest net worth, Bai Yingjie’s daughter!
When “Jiang Ning” learned of this, she only felt shocked.
And a strong sense of unreality.
After all, the person who had once been an ant in her eyes had now leaped higher than her.
To the point that even now, if she wanted to target Su Wanyuan, she had to weigh whether the Jiang Family had enough clout.
Jealousy and hatred surged like a flood, instantly overwhelming her reason.
But what made “Jiang Ning” even more distraught was.
Dressed in all black, tall and long-legged Xie Jingyan attended Lin Tinghe’s funeral and was successfully recognized by the family. Even though he was not yet eighteen, the equity in his hands was already enough to make him the largest shareholder in Lin Group.
Even if the Lin Family was declining, it was still stronger than the Jiang Family.
“Jiang Ning” only felt like destiny was joking with her.
Just a week ago, the poor boy she had thrown out of the villa had leaped to become even more powerful and influential than her.
One Su Wanyuan, one Xie Jingyan.
“Jiang Ning” was so jealous her face twisted.
She was not afraid.
She just wanted even more to kill them.
Especially Su Wanyuan.
She had become so great—what if her Lan Li Gege took a liking to her again?
“Jiang Ning” absolutely would not let that happen, because Gu Lanli could only be hers.
……
Xie Jingyan was getting busier and busier.
He had not even gone to university yet and was already dealing with Lin Group’s old shareholders.
The factions were falling apart, and consolidating them was very difficult, but fortunately, the Meng Family was behind Xie Jingyan.
Another week passed, and Xie Jingyan gained a voice in the Lin Family.
Even though Xie Jingyan’s original grandmother and uncles hated him to death, it did not hinder him from taking power.
The first thing he did after gaining power was to turn the sharp blade in his hand toward the Jiang Family.
He wanted to take down the Jiang Family before his birthday, as a gift for his coming-of-age ceremony.
There was one week until school started.
Before heading to Jin Cheng, Xie Jingyan went to visit Xie He.
It had been half a month since he last saw his sister.
Xie He was getting weaker and weaker, shouting every day that she did not want to take medicine or do chemotherapy.
But as soon as Xie Jingyan was mentioned, she would pout reluctantly and agree.
Xie Jingyan knew it hurt her, but his sister’s passing would hurt him too.
In his eighteenth year, he had lost too much.
So when Xie He saw Xie Jingyan, her excited spirit improved a lot. She quickly put down her mobile phone, her voice crisp: “Brother! You came to see me. Where have you been this time? Xiao He misses you so much!”
Xie Jingyan pinched her cheek and smiled: “Went to earn cake money for Xiao He. Who told you to be greedy for food? Brother had to work hard to earn money.”
Xie He pouted unhappily: “I’m not greedy at all, hmph, you’re so annoying, I don’t want to talk to you.”
Xie Jingyan could not help but chuckle: “Then let me apologize. It was Brother who was greedy and wanted to eat, it has nothing to do with Xiao He.”
Xie He finally hummed in satisfaction: “Mm-hmm, Brother, let me quietly tell you, last time I really did see Sister Ning. She was sitting by my bedside and apologized to me, saying I would be safe and sound. I’m not lying, I really saw her.”
Hearing Jiang Ning’s name suddenly, Xie Jingyan was a bit slow to react.
He could already keep his heart calm, smiling at the corner of his mouth: “Really? Xiao He must have been dreaming. Sister Ning has always been in Jin Cheng and has not come here.”
Xie He frowned. At first she thought it was a dream, but the more she thought about it, the more real it felt, just like Jiang Ning had really earnestly instructed her, gentle like before, very gentle.
She still firmly believed herself: “Anyway, she did come.”
Xie Jingyan could not win against her, so he let it be.
He changed the subject: “What have you been doing while Brother was away?”
At this, Xie He excitedly picked up her mobile phone: “I found a really great manga! But the author seems to have stopped updating it. I really want to know the male lead and female lead’s ending. I wait and hope every day, it’s so annoying. I must live a long time! I want to wait for this manga’s ending!”
Xie He got angrier the more she thought about it.
Why did it stop abruptly when it was drawn so well.
It made her itch with frustration, wishing she could live a few more decades to see if there was any follow-up.
Xie He’s desire to live on became incredibly strong because of this manga!
Xie Jingyan had never expected that an unfinished manga could motivate Xie He’s will to live.
For a moment, he was a bit curious too.
“What’s the manga’s name?”
Xie He picked up her mobile phone, sliding her finger on the screen: “Wait a sec, let me see. The name is a bit strange.”
“The manga is called ‘About Those Two or Three Things After I Transmigrated Into the Book’, author Lingling Jiang.”
Xie Jingyan was somewhat stunned when he heard the author’s name.
Xie He was still mumbling: “It’s a story about someone from another world who transmigrated into the book world and became the vicious female supporting character in the book, but fell for the male lead and fell in love with him. But the manga updates to the point where the male lead learns her true identity and purpose, and they part ways. No more plot after that, so abusive.”
“Aaaah, I’m still sick, why make it so abusive? It says sweet pet romance on it, total scam! If she doesn’t come back and update a hundred chapters, I’m going to complain about her.”
Xie He was puffed up with anger.
Xie Jingyan’s eyelashes trembled uncontrollably: “Lingling Jiang?”
Xie He did not notice his abnormality: “Mm-hmm, that’s her!”
Xie Jingyan had a strong premonition that this person called “Lingling Jiang” was Jiang Ning.
Once Xie He fell asleep, Xie Jingyan left.
He was at the high-speed rail station, about to head to Jin Cheng.
He found this manga, and it was just like Jiang Ning’s inner world.
He was somewhat afraid to open it.
In the end, he could not resist the urge from the bottom of his heart and opened the first chapter.
This familiar scene, composition, and manga character designs made Xie Jingyan instantly immerse himself in the manga.
That dirty and messy alley, Jiang Ning in a white princess dress, and the two of them lying side by side on the ground—the comical and funny scene came into view.
Jiang Ning, so you came at that time.
