Chapter 81 (Exclusive)

The first thing Yu's mother saw was Ruan Mian. She had lost weight compared to a month ago.

When she heard Ruan Mian blurt out "Mom" and then change the address, her eyes dimmed slightly, but she still responded with "Hey".

Yu Jinfan saw that her adoptive parents were also stunned. She didn’t know how to start talking and was hesitant to speak. When she heard Ruan Mian call her Aunt Yu, her lips slightly opened.

"Aunt Ruan...Aunt Ruan, Uncle Ruan."

Mr. and Mrs. Ruan responded in a low voice.

Silence, and silence again.

The atmosphere inside and outside the elevator was very subtle.

Shen Baili had a strong ability to observe and she watched everything quietly.

Ruan Mian looks similar to her parents. She almost inherited her parents' good-looking facial features and is a beauty at first glance.

Yu Jinfan and her mother are both beautiful women with strong complexion and aggressive temperament, mother and daughter at first sight.

The relationship between the Yu family and the Ruan family was easy to identify. Combined with the two families' strange reactions and the obscure titles, Shen Baili quickly connected all the clues.

Real...real or fake daughter?

Ruan Mian is a fake daughter who grew up in a wealthy family, while the beautiful girl in front of him is a real daughter who grew up in an ordinary family?

Shen Baili lamented that the newly released campus literature had too many elements, which was very in line with the trend of the times.

So... could this beautiful girl in front of me be Yu Jinfan from the supporting role column?

Shen Wan glanced at the elevator and offered to help: "How about we go out first?"

A group of them blocked the elevator entrance, which was inconvenient.

"Mianmian, how are you doing recently?" Yu's mother asked the most concerning question, but she didn't say "you've lost weight".

Not suitable.

Ruan Mian raised the corner of her mouth and said without hesitation: "Very happy."

“I met a lot of new friends and they were all very nice.”

Ruan Mian did not forget to introduce Shen Baili to her adoptive mother: "This is our class monitor Shen Baili. Our two families are shopping together."

Two families.

She did it on purpose. Ruan Mian is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Once she makes a decision, she will not regret it.

She and Yu Jinfan returned to their own lives, and she would not miss her past life too much.

Yu Jinfan and his mother both care deeply about Shen Wan and Shen Baili, and they have aloof temperaments.

Mother Yu: "Hello."

Yu Jinfan held his mother's hand tightly, "Mom."

"Shall we walk around for a while longer?" she asked considerately.

Yu Jinfan and his mother were both carrying large and small shopping bags. It was obvious that they had finished their shopping and were preparing to leave the mall.

She saw that Yu's mother was worried about Ruan Mian, so she took the initiative to step down.

He is so sensible and considerate that it makes people feel distressed.

This was the first reaction of Yu's mother, Ruan's father, and Ruan's mother.

Yu's mother hesitated. She cared about Ruan Mian, but she also loved her own daughter.

Mother Ruan looked at Mingmei who lowered her eyes and spoke subconsciously: "Fanfan."

Yu Jinfan raised his eyes: "Aunt Ruan."

Fanfan.

Shen Baili grasped the key point again.

Yu Jinfan, Fanfan.

She didn't speak rashly; it was not the right time.

Ruan Mian spoke up: "Yu Jinfan."

No nicknames, she calls people by their first names.

Yu Jinfan did not expect Ruan Mian's reaction. In her impression, Ruan Mian's personality and appearance were like a soft dumpling.

When he was at Nanya International High School, Yu Jinfan envied this gifted girl who had good grades, good relationships with people, and was liked by everyone.

Where Ruan Mian is, no one will care about Yu Jinfan who is in second place.

At that time, Yu Jinfan, who was looking up at the proud girl in the sky, never thought that that should have been her position.

Ruan Mian took her place and lived a brilliant life for sixteen years.

Are you angry? Are you unwilling? Are you hateful?

Yu Jinfan had felt anger and resentment, but he did not hate anyone.

Ruan Mian is a very good person. She was the only one who extended a helping hand when everyone was laughing at her.

But Yu Jinfan couldn't like Ruan Mian either...she told Ruan Mian so too.

After that, Ruan Mian left the Yu family.

Yu Jinfan hadn't seen her for a long time. Ruan Mian's round face had become pointed, but her eyes were still bright, which showed that she was living well in the Ruan family.

"Yu Jinfan."

This was not the first time Ruan Mian said her name directly, but it made Yu Jinfan feel dazed.

Yu Jinfan looked straight at Ruan Mian, not wanting to be outdone: "What's the matter?"

The confrontation between the two made parents on both sides nervous.

"Would you like to have afternoon tea together?"

…

Shen Baili and Shen Wan's date went through many twists and turns, but in the end it turned into a shopping trip for the two of them.

The two of them had the tact to not interrupt the two families' reminiscing.

Shen Wan looked at their backs and said, "They are so weird."

"I seem to have seen this plot somewhere before."

Shen Baili tried to ask: "Real or fake daughter?"

Shen Wan gave her daughter an admiring look: "Yes! It's the real and fake daughter."

"The TV series has become reality."

Shen Baili sighed: "Mom, our melodramatic TV series was not watched in vain."

Shen Wan tapped her forehead with her index finger and said, "Let your classmates handle their own family affairs."

"We continued our date."

Shen Wan hooked her arms around Shen Baili's neck and walked back.

Shen Baili took advantage of the situation and clung to her mother's arm: "Forget about them, our romantic date is more important."

The two of them forgot about the real and fake gold and started a pleasant shopping trip.

This time, they did not enter any luxury brand stores, but went to ordinary stores in the mall. Just like they did in the past, they went from store to store and tried on any styles they liked in the fitting rooms.

The two of them had a great time shopping, carrying more and more shopping bags. Finally, they enjoyed their dinner in the mall with great satisfaction and prepared to return.

"Go home."

Shen Baili held her mother's hand and said, "Go home!"

The moonlight stretched the two people's shadows very long.

…

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Shen Wan and Shen Baili returned to Xie's house. The yard was brightly lit and the patrolling figures of bodyguards could be vaguely seen.

As soon as they got home, they felt relaxed.

Butler Xiao Lin was on duty, and Shen Wan asked, "Xiao Lin, is Cheng Yue back?"

Butler Xiao Lin: "No."

"Have the eldest brother and the second brother come back?" Shen Baili couldn't help but speak.

Butler Kobayashi shook his head honestly: "No."

"Xiao Zheng won't be back until next week." Shen Wan thought.

Shen Baili quickly spoke up: "Mom, I will sleep with you tonight!"

"No, you sleep with me," she said.

Shen Wan readily agreed: "Okay, let's sleep together."

…

Shen Baili lay on the bed, waiting for her mother to come.

The little orange cat did a backflip in mid-air and made a grand entrance.

“Sui Sui, good news!!”

Shen Baili sat up from the bed, holding the panda doll in her left hand and the little orange cat in her right hand.

"What good news?"

"I unlocked the background profile of the heroine in the campus novel." Ah Deng licked his paw.

"Open the introduction." Shen Baili said seriously, "Let me take a look."

"good."

Shen Baili flipped through the 200-word introduction. It was short in words but contained a lot of information.

[Ruan Mian was once the only daughter of the newly emerged wealthy Yu family. She was loved and had a childhood sweetheart fiancé who grew up with her.

Because of a medical examination, her fate changed... She is not a child of the Yu family. The real daughter of the Yu family is Ruan Jinfan, the second-best student in the grade...]

The first hundred words were almost the same as the information she had received in the afternoon.

Shen Baili read and analyzed word by word.

[At Yu Mian's insistence, she changed her surname to Ruan and transferred to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.]

[…Here, she gained friendship and love.]

"?"

"Is this the end?"

"This is similar to the previous campus story, with the addition of the setting of Ruan Mian being a real daughter."

Before this, Shen Baili had already deduced it.

Ah Deng thought for a moment and said, "Is this the correct answer?"

Shen Baili rubbed Ah Deng's head: "Yes, we got the correct answer!"

After a brief moment of despair, she cheered up again: "At least we have unlocked the key theme, the real daughter!"

"I also met the supporting actress Yu Jinfan."

"Ruan Mian and Yu Jinfan seem to have a good relationship. After Ruan Mian transferred to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School, she no longer has any conflicts of interest with Yu Jinfan."

"And...what about my childhood sweetheart, my fiancé?" Shen Baili found the blind spot: "My fiancé can't even play a supporting role?"

Ah Deng scratched his head and said, "I feel like I'm about to grow a brain."

Shen Baili: "...A Deng, please write it down."

"Okay."

…

It's a new week again. Shen Baili finishes her morning run alone and goes to school full of energy.

As soon as she stepped into the classroom, she met Ruan Mian's hesitant gaze.

"Good morning, squad leader."

"Good morning."

Shen Baili greeted her classmates and when she looked at Ruan Mian, the latter lowered her head and concentrated on her homework.

She turned around and returned to her seat.

"Good morning, Yiyi."

"Good morning, Suishun." Qiao Yi stood up and let Shen Baili sit in.

Ji Qi was awakened by their movements. He raised his head, eyes half asleep, yawning and talking nonsense.

"Good morning, Sui Sui."

"Two days without seeing you feels like three years."

Shen Baili: "...You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you three stay up late playing games last night?"

Meng Jiuan denied: "I didn't play games."

Lu Mingqian pulled himself away from the book and said, "I stayed up late to kill mosquitoes."

"Xiaojiu wants to see the stars in the middle of the night." Ji Qi yawned three times in a row: "We went to the top of the mountain to camp. We came from the camping site early in the morning. We were bitten by mosquitoes and didn't sleep much."

"But the stars are really beautiful. Let me show you the photos." Ji Qi opened the photo album and showed them.

Shen Baili and Qiao Yi looked over and saw the stars in the photo dotting the darkness, forming a brilliant galaxy.

"Very beautiful." Joey praised.

Shen Baili agreed: "Why don't you go on Saturday night?"

"My friends, have you forgotten that you have to go to school on Monday?" She stared at the three of them and asked a soul-searching question.

"Xiaojiu is going crazy." Ji Qi quickly threw the pot away.

Lu Mingqian: "I feel sleepy on Saturday."

Meng Jiuan said sincerely: "I was wrong."

"We were wrong." Ji Qi slid down to his knees. He quietly raised his eyes to observe Shen Baili's reaction: "We went to the amusement park on Saturday. It was quite fun."

"I'm tired when I get home."

Meng Jiuan immediately answered: "Are you scared and trapped?"

"You are the fastest runner in the haunted house."

Ji Qi gave a polite but not awkward smile: "I'm already honest, please let me go and don't mess things up."

Joey looked at him in surprise. "You can write three-line limericks now?"

Ji Qi raised his head proudly: "Am I awesome?"

Joey nodded perfunctorily: "Great."

"It's time for class."

Ji Qi looked up at the clock: "There are still 30 seconds left!"

Shen Baili and Qiao Yi had turned around and ignored him.

Lu Mingqian said quietly, "Is thirty seconds enough for you to find the Chinese textbook?"

Ji Qi: "...can't."

He buried his head in searching for his book: "My Chinese book has grown legs? How come it's gone?"

"Xiaojiu, is it with you?"

Meng Jiuan said lazily: "How could your book be here with me?"

As soon as he pulled out the top test paper, two Chinese books appeared in front of them.

Meng Jiuan: “…”

Ji Qi smiles :)

Lu Mingqian: "The facts prove that your Chinese textbook has not only grown legs, but has also moved to Xiaojiu's desk."

Ruan Mian smoothed the wrinkles on her Chinese textbook and listened to their argument in silence, a smile forming on her face.

Interesting high school life.

She looked at Shen Baili's back, her eyes slightly fixed.

…

It was not until after school that Ruan Mian found a chance to be alone with Shen Baili.

"Ruan Mian, do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Baili took the initiative.

Ruan Mian didn't know where to start, her family's affairs were quite complicated.

"I...that afternoon..."

Shen Baili: "I won't tell anyone else."

Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment: "Thank you."

Shen Baili nodded slightly: "You're welcome."

Before they knew it, they arrived at the school gate.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go home first." Shen Baili said goodbye politely: "Ruan Mian, see you tomorrow."

Ruan Mian replied softly: "See you tomorrow."

"Mmmmm!"

A familiar male voice came from behind them, and Ruan Mian and Shen Baili looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.

A handsome male high school student in a custom-made school uniform stood not far away, looking at Ruan Mian with an exceptionally gentle gaze.

Ruan Mian: "Why are you here?"

The boy strode towards them. He didn't mind Ruan Mian's unfamiliar tone at all. His attitude was intimate and tolerant: "Mian Mian, I came to see you."

"My fiancée is you, and I don't agree to cancel the engagement."

Shen Baili was sandwiched between the two of them, her pupils slightly shrank.

Could this be... the legendary childhood sweetheart?
