Chapter 13 Transmigrated as the Father of the Real and Fake Heiresses
Ji Nanzhi is quite happy that Ji Lin is not at home recently.
She can learn more things because there are no annoying people around.
Recently, someone has been delivering things to the Ji family every day, all in preparation for the banquet.
Ji Nanzhi went from being surprised to becoming immune to the sheer number of jewelry and clothing items; any one of them was astonishing.
On the day of the banquet, Ji Nanzhi took her father's arm and went downstairs.
She was the center of attention, dressed in a black gown, and there were media present today.
Ji Huaizhi is declaring to the whole world that Ji Nanzhi is her real daughter.
Li Tian watched Ji Nanzhi standing next to her father on TV, and she was nothing like the ugly duckling she used to be.
She wore a crown with dazzling diamonds, and every part of her was exquisite. The black dress made her look youthful and innocent, and she wore a simple yet elegant pearl necklace.
She no longer showed any of her former inferiority complex; instead, she exuded an air of nobility and composure.
At that moment, she stood on the stage, the focus of everyone's attention.
Then I saw people I used to know and dislike on TV, and they were definitely flattering Ji Nanzhi.
I wonder what they were secretly laughing at me for.
Li Tian watched on TV as her father, who used to only love her, said that Ji Nanzhi was her only pearl, and she almost ground her teeth to powder.
I picked up my phone and saw that the trending topic was today's news about the Ji family: [The Real and Fake Heiress of the Ji Family! Who is the True Pearl?]
The comments from various netizens are below.
Are the real and fake heiresses in novels real? Can wealthy people really switch daughters at birth?
So, the fake heiress really did usurp the family home for over ten years? Is she still with the Ji family? If she is, the real heiress must be really upset, right?
[As expected, reality isn't a novel. According to the plot, President Ji and Young Master Ji should only care about the fake heiress. After the real heiress returns to the wealthy family, she suffers endless grievances, eventually becoming heartbroken and severing ties with the Ji family, either going abroad or losing her life. Only after losing the real heiress will the Ji family realize how wrong they were and live with regret for the rest of their lives.]
[Hey upstairs, you've been reading too many novels, haven't you?]
[So what about the fake heiress? Will she arrange for someone to frame the real heiress and make President Ji disappointed in her?]
[The two netizens upstairs, the most important thing you should do right now is uninstall Tomato Novels.]
[Mr. Ji, don't forget you have a daughter like me! (crying)]
[How could reality possibly favor a fake heiress? They're not her biological children. Of course, she'd love her real child more after finally finding her. I heard the real heiress already owns shares in the Ji family business, but she doesn't even have a son. Mr. Ji really dotes on his daughter.]
[I'm also President Ji's long-lost son (hehe)]
Li Tian was stunned when she saw that Ji Nanzhi had shares. How could she have shares even though she was underage and unmarried?
Why should I?
Finally, in a fit of anger, he picked up something from the table and smashed it against the television.
"You slut, you slut!"
"All of this is mine! It's all mine!"
"Waaaaah! Daddy, don't you really want Tiantian anymore? She's your daughter, so what am I then?"
Li Tian stared at the black screen of the television with tears streaming down her face.
"Ji Huaizhi! Ji Nanzhi! You just wait!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Tian saw that the bruises on her face had mostly faded: "I must stay in the Ji family."
Ji Lin was still busy when he received Li Tian's call: "Hello."
“Brother, I saw the banquet on TV today. Dad is so good to Nanzhi. Why isn’t he my biological father?” Li Tian’s voice was filled with endless sorrow.
"Why is God playing such a cruel joke on me?" A sob came from the other end of the phone: "Why am I not your biological daughter? Why isn't Dad my real father?"
The call was disconnected after I finished speaking.
Ji Lin called out twice, feeling anxious. He was afraid something might happen to her alone. What if she did something rash?
The first dance at the banquet was a solo dance between Ji Nanzhi and Ji Huaizhi, and then Ji Nanzhi and Ji Lin would dance the second dance with everyone.
As the dance drew to a close, Ji Huaizhi bowed respectfully.
Applause erupted, and Ji Nanzhi looked at Ji Huaizhi with a broad smile.
Ji Lin was preoccupied with Li Tian, and with the second round about to begin, he had no choice but to go find Ji Nanzhi.
“If you don’t want to dance with him, you can refuse,” Ji Huaizhi said to his daughter as he saw his unlucky son approaching.
Ji Nanzhi raised an eyebrow, her expression exactly the same as Ji Huaizhi's: "Okay, Dad, you go ahead and do your work. I saw Uncle Zhou waiting for you over there."
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Go ahead, there's nothing to worry about on your own turf."
After her father left, Ji Lin came over and said, "I won't be dancing with you for a while. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."
Ji Nanzhi glanced at him and said, "You don't need to tell me, I don't want to dance this dance with you either."
Ji Lin was angry at her attitude: "Is this how you talk to your brother?"
Ji Nanzhi retorted, "You don't treat me like a sister, so why should I treat you like a brother?"
Ji Lin was stunned when he met her cold eyes; she really looked like his father.
I suddenly remembered what my grandfather had said to me in his study:
You and Nanzhi are bound by blood, and should have been the closest people in the world, but because of the accident seventeen years ago, you became irreconcilable enemies. If she hadn't been switched at birth, you and your sister would have had a very good relationship.
You feel sorry for Li Tian because she has been your sister for seventeen years, but your own sister has been living a hard life away from home for those seventeen years, which is more difficult than you can imagine.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Nanzhi frowned.
Ji Lin felt inexplicably uncomfortable seeing her fierce attitude towards him.
Just as I was about to tell her that I would come back to dance the last dance with her, my phone rang. The caller ID showed my sister.
Thinking that something might have happened to Li Tian, he answered the phone and walked out: "Hello, I'll be right back..."
Ji Nanzhi watched him leave without looking back, and when she heard him call her brother on the phone, she lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment.
Looking up, I saw my father watching me intently, and he whispered to me:
"I don't need any older brother, my dad is enough."
