Chapter 42: A Passerby in the Novel of the True and False Heiresses (Part 1)

When Jiang Yue opened her eyes, she found that she could not control her body. Her vision was blurry and she could only see some light. After thinking for a short while, she was so tired that she fell asleep. At first, she thought she had transmigrated into a vegetable, but later she realized that she had transmigrated into a baby.

When Jiang Yue turned two, number 8888 finally sent her the world storyline, which was quite simple:

The Yang family in Xihong City and the Zhao family in Nongxi Village gave birth at the same hospital, resulting in the two children being mistaken for each other. The real heiress had transmigrated into the book and seen the plot of this world, but she didn't want to return to the Yang family in Xihong City and just wanted to settle things with them. However, the fake heiress didn't think that way and was determined to frame the real heiress. In the end, the real heiress was forced to expose the fake heiress's true colors and returned to Nongxi Village to continue her life of farming, fishing, and health.

Jiang Yue was born into an ordinary family in Nongxi Village. The original owner died unexpectedly shortly after birth, and Jiang Yue directly took her place. Since she was a baby, there was no need to transfer her memories.

Jiang Yue lived a peaceful life until she was 13 years old. That year, it was time for Jiang Yue to start junior high school. During the National Day holiday, Jiang Yue heard her mother say that Zhao Zheng's mother had quarreled with her daughter-in-law again. Ever since her daughter-in-law gave birth to her daughter, Zhao Zheng's mother had been picking fights and arguing every few days.

However, none of this concerns Jiang Yue. She has no intention of ever having anything to do with the real and fake heiresses in this lifetime. The real heiresses' family and the fake heiresses are a crazy bunch, and Jiang Yue doesn't want to get involved.

In recent years, Jiang Yue has been thinking about what she should do with her life. She still plans to delve into medical-related majors. However, Jiang Yue has learned that the level of medicine in this world is similar to that in the previous world, so there is no need to repeat it. Jiang Yue plans to study biopharmaceuticals and apply to a pharmaceutical university to research pharmaceutical manufacturing.

So Jiang Yue started preparing in junior high school. She was very busy during junior high school, and her family was very supportive of her. While attending high school, Jiang Yue also earned some money based on her experience from the previous world. Although Jiang Yue had money in her space, she still needed to find a suitable time to take it out. An ordinary person would be suspected if they sold a small amount of gold, but who would suspect a millionaire selling gold?

That day, Jiang Yue was studying at home. Although her brain had become a bit sharper after the two mission worlds, she was still some distance from being a genius. Her current good grades were entirely due to her skill retention and the learning methods that suited her. She dared not relax for a moment and had now started studying undergraduate-level content.

Just then, Jiang's mother came in and handed Jiang Yue a fruit platter. Since everything was chilled, she didn't take too much, just the right amount. Jiang Yue was taking notes and couldn't free her hands, so she turned her head towards her mother and opened her mouth to say "ah." Jiang's mother smiled indulgently: "You're such a grown-up now, don't be so lazy." Despite saying that, she still obediently fed Jiang Yue a few bites.

After finishing the fruit, Jiang Yue said sweetly to her mother, "Thank you, Mom."

Jiang's mother rubbed Jiang Yue's head and said, "Then Mom is going out. There's some boiled water on the living room table for you. Remember to drink some. Don't take drinks that are too cold directly from the refrigerator, okay?"

Jiang Yue nodded, and Jiang's mother went out to find someone to play mahjong to pass the time. Her daughter had been sensible since she was a child, and she didn't have to worry about her at all. She knew what she wanted to do when she grew up and planned ahead for herself. Being a parent was too easy. When she heard others talk about how difficult it was to raise children, Jiang's mother didn't quite believe it. It seemed very simple, and she felt that everyone else was just putting on an act.

When Jiang's mother returned in the afternoon, she went to Jiang Yue's study and said excitedly, "Xiao Yue, do you know? The Zhao family's daughter was switched at birth! Her biological parents have come looking for her, and they're rich! They drive luxury cars and have a butler!"

"We ordinary people have only seen this kind of butler on TV. I never thought I would see him in real life today. And he doesn't look like a butler at all. He looks like a big boss."

Jiang's mother enthusiastically shared today's gossip with Jiang Yue, who breathed a sigh of relief as the story finally began. After her mother finished speaking, Jiang Yue asked, "Has Uncle Zhao's biological daughter returned yet?"

Aunt Jiang curled her lip and said disdainfully, "They didn't come back. You don't know how embarrassed that family was when Zhao Zheng and his wife asked. They even said they were used to living at his house and didn't feel comfortable coming back here."

"You look down on people. You didn't see it. They practically covered the road with carpet. You don't even want to get your shoes dirty."

"What about Zhao Ying? Did she go back with them?" Jiang Yue asked curiously. The world's plot wasn't explained in detail, only in general terms, so Jiang Yue didn't know the specifics.

"No, at least it wasn't a waste of money to raise this one. Zhao Ying said she wouldn't go back, and that she would just treat him like a relative. We don't know what happened in the end. He went into the house, but he didn't leave with us."

Jiang's mother clearly agreed with Zhao Ying's suggestion. Otherwise, the kindness of giving birth and raising children is a kindness, and since things have come to this, unless the two of them can switch back, it's better to maintain the status quo for now and consider other solutions later when their feelings for each other deepen.

Jiang Yue shook her head, thinking to herself, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. Now that things have already happened, it's not up to you to do whatever you want. You also have to consider whether others believe you. That fake heiress is not a good person. There's bound to be trouble."

Jiang Yue originally thought it was none of her business, but a few days later, a private elite school in Xihong City contacted her and offered very good conditions, such as full tuition waivers and annual scholarships, to invite Jiang Yue to study at their school.

In other worlds, Jiang Yue might have agreed. But this prestigious school in Xihong City—just listen to the name! It's clearly designed for the protagonist. If Jiang Yue went, and the fake heiress found out she was from the same place as the real heiress, how could things be good? She would become an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Jiang Yue was too busy running away to even think about going there herself, so she decisively refused, saying that her classmates and friends were all at the First High School and she still wanted to study there.

They didn't give up, since even elite high schools need to improve their college entrance rates. So they started persuading Jiang Yue's parents. After a long conversation, they almost convinced them, but thankfully they respected Jiang Yue's opinion and said they would consider it before sending them away.

During dinner that evening, Jiang Ba asked Jiang Yue, "Xiao Yue, do you not want to go to that prestigious high school? Is it because you're worried about the cost or something? I heard that the teaching staff is significantly better than that of No. 1 High School! If you're worried about the cost, your family still has enough money to support your studies, so it shouldn't be a problem."
