Wenyan read a book.
The cannon fodder female character who shared her name was a fake heiress of the wealthy Shen Family.
After the real heiress reclaimed her position, in order to stay within the wealthy circles, she did not hesitate to drug the eldest brother of the family to make the cooked rice turn raw, only to be detested by the Shen Family and ruthlessly brought back to her original status, eventually committing suicide in despair.
Seeing this ending, Wenyan was halfway to furious. How could living without the wealthy circles be so intolerable? Hadn't the family given her a mansion and countless luxuries? Just selling them off could fetch tens of millions. She was utterly unfixable!
If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have long since stepped down gracefully and enjoyed life without a care!
And then, after waking from a sleep, Wenyan really transmigrated into the book!!!
Moreover, she transmigrated right at the point where she was to drug Shen Jingxiu, the eldest brother of the wealthy family.
EXM???
Staring at the orange juice with the drug in her hand, Wenyan chose to change the plot.
But just as she turned around, a low and indifferent male voice came from behind her.
"Is there a problem?"
"Uh..." Wenyan resigned herself to turn her head, her eyes fluttering, not daring to look directly at the man in front of her, "Good evening, big brother. I was just taking a walk, happened to pass by the door of your room. Are you going out? Sorry for blocking your way."
Having said that, Wenyan stepped aside.
Shen Jingxiu gave her a glance and furrowed his brows.
Wandering around late at night right to his room's door?
However, he and Wenyan, his adopted daughter, had never really interacted much.
He walked downstairs without another word.
Watching his retreating figure, Wenyan immediately let out a sigh of relief.
And couldn't help thinking in her heart, [Thank goodness Shen Jingxiu is an ice block.]
Shen Jingxiu: ...???
He hadn't even gone far when she started saying bad things about him behind his back?
Shen Jingxiu turned around with a cold face, but what he saw was Wenyan's ingratiating smile.
However, he heard Wenyan's voice again at the same time!
[Ah ah ah, why did he suddenly turn back, scare me to death!]
But this time, Shen Jingxiu clearly saw that Wenyan's lips didn't move at all, she still maintained that smiling face.
What he had just heard seemed more like her inner thoughts!
Shen Jingxiu's brows knitted even tighter, was it because he had worked overtime too long and was now hallucinating?
Wenyan, on the other hand, didn't dare to look at him, and ran off in the opposite direction with the orange juice.
With her mind preoccupied, Wenyan wasn't watching where she was going and bumped straight into an elegantly dressed woman in a qipao with a superb temperament.
Su Yang's delicate brows furrowed slightly after the collision: "Yanyan, what are you thinking about? How can you walk without looking?"
Only then did Wenyan come back to her senses.
It was then that she realized the woman standing in front of her at this moment was none other than her adoptive mother, Su Yang.
Wenyan had been adopted by the Shen Family when she was eleven years old, and until she was eighteen, she had been the only daughter in the family, deeply beloved by Su Yang.
It wasn't until her birthday party that this exclusive favoritism was disrupted.
The true daughter of the Shen Family who had been cast out for ten years came back.
To make it up to their biological daughter, Shen Yuan and Su Yang showered her with a lot of love.
All of this was actually quite normal, and Su Yang had not abandoned the original girl because of it. It's just a pity the original girl was too greedy, always competing with the real heiress for affection, and eventually doomed herself.
But now that Wenyan had taken over everything of the original body, of course, she wouldn't make the same mistakes.
She immediately apologized to Su Yang, "Sorry, Mom, I had a couple too many drinks at the party and got a bit dizzy, so I went down for a glass of juice."
Wenyan called her "mom" out loud, but she still couldn't bring herself to mean it.
After all, she did have a mom, but just in another world.
But that didn't prevent her from genuinely admiring Su Yang in her heart.
[Ms. Su looks really beautiful today, saying she's in her thirties isn't an overstatement at all, so beautiful!]
Su Yang furrowed her brows.
She thought she was imagining things.
Because she heard Wenyan's voice complimenting her beauty, saying she looked like she was in her thirties. But in reality, she was already fifty.
What was going on? Was she drunk?
Su Yang shook her head and looked back at Wenyan, only to find that she couldn't hear that strange voice anymore.
Now she could confirm that she was indeed hearing things.
Today was her birthday, and she had overindulged in a moment of weakness at the party.
Besides, why would Wenyan call her Ms. Su? She had always called her "mom".
Thinking of this, Su Yang nodded and said, "If you've drunk too much, go back to your room and rest early. Get up early tomorrow, and don't forget to report to the company with your dad and the others."
"Uh..." Working at a company wasn't something Wenyan was really interested in. It was the original host who, seeing the real heiress being placed in Shen Group, also clamored to go to work.
However, Su Yang didn't seem to be feeling well at the moment, so Wenyan didn't intend to be annoying by holding onto her unwillingly.
It wouldn't be too late to talk about this after everyone had a good rest tomorrow morning.
-
Back in her original room, Wenyan immediately began to pack her luggage.
She was now 22 years old, had graduated from college, and was fully justified in moving out of the Shen Family's villa. There was no need to stay and be a burden to the family, hindering the Shen parents from reuniting with their biological daughter.
While busily sorting through the original girl's electronics, the phone on the bed suddenly beeped twice.
She picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from someone the original had labeled as Qiao Kexin.
According to the memories of the original, Qiao Kexin was her only friend in the wealthy circles, and also her best friend.
After unlocking the phone with a fingerprint, Wenyan saw the content Qiao Kexin had sent.
'How did it go, Yanyan, did you succeed? Did you sleep with Shen Jingxiu?'
'Don't forget to take some photos, a video would be better, remember you want it from a more intimate angle'
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.
