0.3% The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite / Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Multi-Millionaire

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Multi-Millionaire

These few WeChat messages quickly triggered a certain memory inside the original host's mind.

It turned out that the rotten idea of drugging Shen Jingxiu had been proposed by this person named Qiao Kexin.

Following this memory, Wenyan discovered that all the original body's foolish actions over the years couldn't be separated from Qiao Kexin's 'brilliant plans'.

This Qiao Kexin was not any good best friend at all; she was a troublemaker who was jealous of the original body.

Because Qiao Kexin came from a similar background as the original body, being a wealthy stepdaughter, her life was not easy, so she became jealous of the original body who was treated well by the Shen Family. She constantly gave the original body terrible advice, wanting to see her be despised by the Shen Family.

Unfortunately, the original body was clueless, without any other friends to remind her, she was always harmed by Qiao Kexin, ultimately leading her to her own ruin.

But now... Wenyan sneered, not bothering to tidy things up anymore; she leaned against the headboard and began messaging Qiao Kexin.

'No, you took that joke seriously? He's my elder brother; how could I possibly drug him. Let's not mention this matter anymore, it won't be good for you if my family finds out, understand?'

Wenyan didn't curse at Qiao Kexin and block her right away because during the search of the original body's memory, she found out Qiao Kexin had borrowed a lot of money from the original body.

Not just money, she had even 'borrowed' the original body's bags and jewelry, some of which had not been returned to this day.

All this, Wenyan intended to take back when the opportunity arose.

That's why she was temporarily keeping this plastic friendship.

On the other side of the phone, Qiao Kexin was waiting to watch a good show, but she didn't expect Wenyan to pull such a move.

She became anxious and immediately called.

"Hello, Yanyan. What's wrong with you? Wasn't everything already planned out before, how come you suddenly changed your mind? It wasn't easy to have your mother's birthday banquet with your elder brother staying over; you might not get such an easy chance to run into him again. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Oh, she was in a hurry now.

Wenyan chuckled, "Kexin, I'm serious. Your stepfather's birthday is coming up soon, isn't it? Surely your stepbrother will come back for a reunion. Why don't you drug him instead? I mean this for your own good."

"You, what are you talking about?" The voice on the other end paused, "Yanyan, why have you suddenly—"

"I won't talk about it now, my mom is looking for me." Wenyan didn't bother to talk more with Qiao Kexin and directly found an excuse to hang up the phone.

Qiao Kexin on the other end didn't dare to call or message again when she heard Su Yang was looking for Wenyan.

Because Wenyan was right about one thing she hadn't mentioned; if the Shen Family found out that it was her, Qiao Kexin, who instigated Wenyan to drug Shen Jingxiu, she definitely wouldn't end well.

After ending the call, Wenyan immediately began looking through the chat history between the original body and Qiao Kexin, then followed up by checking their bank transfer history, silently making a note of Qiao Kexin's account.

Then, Wenyan's gaze was fiercely drawn to a string of numbers in the asset column on the bank APP.

Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundreds of thousands—the balance in her bank account was actually more than nine million!

Nearly ten million in wealth!!

The original body was a multi-millionaire! All this was pocket money given by her foster parents; with so much money, why bother fighting with the legitimate daughters over nothing.

It made Wenyan start to think she didn't want to leave the Shen Family; it seemed like her foster parents could drop quite a sum even through the cracks of their fingers.

However, this thought quickly vanished.

She didn't want to live off her foster parents; she had things she wanted to achieve that she hadn't accomplished yet!

Before crossing into this book, Wenyan loved acting, but suffered from a lack of money and resources.

She, with a professional background, had signed with an agency during her school years. However, she had her principles and refused to accept any under-the-table deals, so she was shelved by her company even before officially debuting for offending a capital backer.

After enduring five years, she finally reached the end of her contract, but she could only appear in cheap short dramas. After one went viral, she became a minor internet celebrity, but to make ends meet, she still had no say in choosing scripts.

But now, she had money!

Once she had money, many problems could be easily solved, and she no longer had to bend for a small sum!

Exiting the banking APP, Wenyan immediately started searching the entertainment industry of this world online.

She wanted to see who the big players in this circle were now, which entertainment companies were good, and if there were any drama troupes openly recruiting actors.

She searched all night, but at 22 years old, she was still young and full of energy; so when she got up at seven o'clock the next morning, Yanyan was still very spirited.

She even did half an hour of stretching yoga on her bed.

-

Eight o'clock was the Shen Family's breakfast time, a rule.

The Shen Family had a total of four sons, one daughter, and one adopted daughter.

Although the original person and the true daughter, Shen Zhirou, each had their own real estate, they both mostly lived here after graduating from university.

The four young masters each had their own careers to attend to and seldom came back to live.

Just last night, only the eldest son, Shen Jingxiu, had stayed.

When Yanyan came downstairs, Shen Yuan, Su Yang, and Shen Jingxiu had already taken their seats at the dining table.

But even after Yanyan sat down, the true daughter, Shen Zhirou, had yet to appear.

Years ago, the seat beside Su Yang usually belonged to the original person, but ever since Shen Zhirou returned, it had become hers.

Today, Shen Zhirou was clearly late, and had it been the original person, she would probably have taken a seat next to Su Yang.

But Yanyan had no intention of competing for favor; she merely greeted everyone and quietly pulled out the chair next to Shen Jingxiu.

Yanyan had not dared to look at Shen Jingxiu properly the night before because she felt guilty; now, looking at him up close, she had to admit, he really did seem very conducive to sleep.

His good looks went without saying; given Shen Yuan and Su Yang's one-in-a-million appearances, their child's appearance wouldn't be far behind.

Shen Jingxiu even combined all the best features of his parents. He had a great physique, broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs.

The only flaw was that he was as cold as a block of ice, the kind that even open flames couldn't melt.

She couldn't imagine where the original person got the courage to even think of drugging him.

But no matter what, he was her brother in name, and Yanyan harbored no improper thoughts towards him.

And just after she took her seat, her foster father, Shen Yuan, spoke up.

"Let's eat. After breakfast, Yanyan will ride with me to the company."

Are we starting the meal now? Yanyan was somewhat surprised.

"But Dad, aren't we waiting for Zhirou?" she asked.

"No need to wait for her," Su Yang spoke, "Zhirou's adoptive mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized last night, and she rushed to the hospital. She hasn't come back yet."

"Oh, I see, Zhirou really has it tough."

After saying that, Yanyan couldn't help but reflect internally.

[Mrs. Su even talks so gently, she truly is a good mother. But I wonder if she would think I was being childish if I changed my mind and said I didn't want to go to the company to work later? After all, it was I who had insisted on joining the company before.]

However, seeing that Shen Yuan had already started eating, and even Jingxiu next to her was quietly drinking his porridge, Yanyan dared not speak.

Because the aura around the father and son was too cold, like two refrigerators.

Yanyan decided to wait until after eating to speak.

She bowed her head to drink her milk, completely unaware that Su Yang, sitting diagonally opposite her, looked incredulous.

Because Su Yang had heard Yanyan's voice again.

But she clearly saw Yanyan had not moved her lips at all.


Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Big Brother is So Handsome

```

Why is this happening?

Su Yang couldn't help but ask Wenyan, "You just mentioned something about Yanyan, I didn't catch it."

As soon as Su Yang spoke, the other three people at the dining table all stopped eating.

Wenyan blinked, somewhat confused.

"I didn't say anything afterwards, Mom, you must have heard wrong," she said.

Wenyan was also puzzled, saying her mother heard wrong didn't seem right. Because just now, nobody at the table had spoken at all.

Shen Yuan looked at Su Yang with some concern: "Did you not get enough rest? Maybe you shouldn't go to the studio today."

Wenyan nodded silently to herself.

Inside, she thought, "Ms. Su must have had too much to drink last night, that's understandable since it was her birthday. If it were me, I would be happy too."

Su Yang's eyes widened again.

But obviously, no one else present, aside from her, had heard Wenyan's words.

It seemed that even Wenyan herself didn't know what had happened.

What was this, then, her inner voice?

Why did her inner voice keep calling her 'Ms. Su'? And what did she mean by saying she wouldn't go to the company anymore?

Su Yang ate her breakfast absentmindedly.

Wenyan did as well.

Not until Shen Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks did Wenyan finally take a deep breath.

"Dad, Mom, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Shen Yuan put down the wet towel he was using to wipe his hands, directing his gaze towards Wenyan.

Wenyan smiled sheepishly and said in a serious tone, "Dad, Mom, I was being childish before, always trying to compete with Zhirou. So when I heard that she was going to work at the company, I also made a fuss about going. But actually, my major doesn't match at all, she studied management, I studied design, I'm not suitable. So, after calming down, I've decided not to go to the company anymore, and I hope you can forgive my capricious actions!"

Wenyan's words were sincere, and after hearing her speech, Shen Yuan and Su Yang had newfound respect for her.

Even Shen Jingxiu, who usually didn't interact with her much, gave her a special glance.

Over the past few years, she had always been fighting with Shen Zhirou, both overtly and covertly. Since she hadn't caused any significant trouble or made any serious mistakes, Shen Yuan and Su Yang, as a couple, had always turned a blind eye.

However, they had discussed privately that if one day Wenyan did something excessive to Zhirou, they wouldn't show favoritism towards Wenyan.

They never expected that she would suddenly be so forthcoming today, as if she had become a different person.

But it was for the best that she had come to this realization. If she kept the mentality of competing with Zhirou in the company, she wouldn't be able to contribute much to the company.

So, Shen Yuan nodded in agreement swiftly: "Alright, then you don't need to go to the company. Do what you enjoy. As long as it's nothing too outrageous, your mother and I have no objections."

"Yes! Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom!"

"Hahaha, it seems Mr. Shen is not as cold as he appears. He's actually a good father, not only to his biological children but also to me, his adopted daughter."

Shen Yuan's eyes widened slightly: "......"

Did he hear something? Was that Wenyan speaking just now? No, she didn't say anything. But he definitely heard Wenyan's voice.

He instinctively looked towards Su Yang because Wenyan certainly hadn't said anything, yet Su Yang had oddly asked what she said.

But this time, Su Yang had no strange expression on her face. Obviously, Su Yang hadn't heard anything just now.

At that moment, the butler came to announce that the driver was ready.

Shen Yuan then stood up and left the dining table, no longer dwelling on the voice he had just heard.

Su Yang immediately escorted both father and son to the villa's entrance along with Wenyan.

While Su Yang was saying goodbye to Shen Yuan, Shen Jingxiu was next to them, fastening his cufflinks.

His fingers were slender, and as he lowered his head slightly and cast down his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his eyelids like little brushes.

This stunning profile, a beauty strike of ten thousand points.

"The Eldest Young Master is just too handsome. He's rich and has good looks; being this attractive, isn't he making life tough for other men?"

Shen Jingxiu's hands froze as he was fastening his cufflinks: ?? Again, that voice came again.

```

He narrowed his eyes as he looked towards Wenyan, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Wenyan instinctively swallowed.

"What's wrong, Big Brother?"

Hearing the noise from their side, Su Yang couldn't help but glance over.

She caught a glimpse of Shen Jingxiu but spoke to Wenyan.

"Yanyan, your big brother's tie is a bit crooked, could you straighten it for him?"

Wenyan's heart missed a beat for half a second.

Since her adoption, she had never been this close to Shen Jingxiu.

As far as she could remember, the Shen Family's brothers had gone abroad for their studies early on, while the two daughters stayed behind for school in the country.

After completing his studies, Shen Jingxiu had joined the Shen Group directly, becoming a commanding CEO at a young age, making him hard to approach.

But now, with Su Yang speaking up, and her being so close to Shen Jingxiu, it would seem a bit unreasonable to refuse such a simple task, wouldn't it?

At the very least, she could treat this as an opportunity to practice her acting! If she had to act opposite a cold and aloof male god in the future, would she refuse just because he was difficult to approach?

After mentally preparing herself, Wenyan immediately walked over to Shen Jingxiu.

She reached out for Shen Jingxiu's tie, and Shen Jingxiu did not seem to mind.

That made her breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, her thoughts became more active.

[Hmm, his Adam's apple is quite sexy, and he looks irresistibly handsome with the tie.]

Shen Jingxiu: ???

Were these her inner thoughts again? What was she thinking? Were such thoughts appropriate for her?

Suddenly, Shen Jingxiu grasped his tie: "Let go, I'll do it myself."

"Oh."

Her hand lightly touched, and Wenyan immediately withdrew it as if electrocuted.

[The Eldest Young Master is really difficult to get along with, thankfully I don't have to interact with him often.]

Shen Jingxiu: ...???

One moment she's calling him an ice block, the next she's praising his looks, and then she's relieved not to have to deal with him—do women always change their minds so quickly?

After watching the father and son drive off, Su Yang turned around and took Wenyan's hand.

"Yanyan, come, keep mom company for a walk in the garden."

"Okay."

While speaking, Wenyan paused.

Some things can't be said out loud, they can only be thought in one's mind.

[If my memory serves me right, it's been a very long time since Mrs. Su has held this hand, it feels rather unfamiliar.]

Su Yang paused as well.

She had heard Wenyan's inner voice again.

Indeed, since Zhirou's return, she had grown much more distant from Yanyan. That must be why Yanyan had been competing with Zhirou for attention, seeking to get noticed by their parents, right?

Now that Yanyan had come to terms with herself, no longer planning to compete at the company with Zhirou, she felt she should be fairer to both children. In Yanyan's mind, she didn't even call her mother anymore, but referred to her as Mrs. Su.

At that thought, Su Yang couldn't help but feel self-reproach, and her tone became even gentler.

"Yanyan, since you've decided not to go to the company, what are your plans? What do you intend to do? You studied design in university; how about joining mom's studio? I can teach you personally."

Su Yang's studio was well-known, and many designers would do anything to get in, but upon hearing this, Wenyan shook her head and refused.

She chose to speak the truth.

"Mom, the truth is, I don't like design; what I love is acting. It may sound funny to you, but I chose design initially to please you. It was around the time when Zhirou came back, and I was afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore.

As a result, I didn't do well, and my graduation project received the lowest score in the class. I was just wasting precious time back then, but now I've realized what I truly want. I'll pursue what I enjoy, and I'll stop bothering Zhirou, so I don't put you and dad in a difficult position."
