If Maya and the others hadn't told Cheng Yi that He Ning had arrived at the venue, she wouldn't have known that He Ning was there at all. She frantically scanned the surroundings of the venue and finally spotted He Ning in a corner.
Her group of wealthy girlfriends advised her to completely deny admitting on the phone that she was He Ning's only sister, and if He Ning asked, to casually say that it was a misunderstanding.
To everyone's surprise, He Ning arrived at the venue and witnessed this scene firsthand.
Now, no matter what, she can't clear her name of suspicion.
Cheng Yi hurriedly walked towards He Ning in her high heels and softly called out, "Second Brother."
She inadvertently confirmed her identity as He Ning's younger sister.
Instantly, whispers filled the entire hall:
"I heard that the Cheng family's daughter was switched at birth. The real daughter has lived in the He family for more than ten years. Instead of introducing the real daughter as his sister, President He generously introduced the original Cheng family's daughter. This plot is really intriguing."
"What's so strange about that? Many people turn their backs on their poor relatives after they become successful. Yuanjing Technology has only recently risen to prominence. If it weren't for President He's success, the Cheng family might not have allowed their daughter to have any relationship with him."
"Judging from what these young ladies are saying, is the real heiress only concerned with currying favor with her eldest brother who's now a CEO, while ignoring her good-for-nothing second brother?"
"I never expected her to be this kind of person."
...
Maya and the girls from No. 1 Middle School followed, waiting to see Cheng Yi apologize to He Ning.
He Ning did not show any tenderness. Instead, just as Cheng Yi was about to reach her, she walked straight past her and headed towards He Jing.
Cheng Yi was stunned, and her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
She clearly felt He Ning lightly brush against her shoulder, carrying a cool, refreshing fragrance, and with an air of not turning back.
Maya and the others froze, their eyes widening as they watched He Ning walk towards He Jing, take her hand, and gently call out, "Jingjing."
The stark contrast between their close and distant attitudes caused an uproar in the meeting room.
"What...what kind of operation is this?!"
"The fake heiress has returned to her ancestral home; Mr. He and his brothers place even greater emphasis on blood ties?"
"That doesn't have to be so heartless."
...
Everyone knows that Cheng's daughter was switched at birth and was only found three months later. In just three months, the fake daughter replaced the real daughter in her relationship with the He family.
If it's true, then this fake rich guy is really something else!
He Jing took He Ning's arm, her eyebrows and lips full of smiles. She said to Ma Ya and the others, "Let me introduce you to the students from No. 1 Middle School. This is my second brother, He Ning."
He Ning glanced at her indifferently: "This is my only sister, He Jing."
He deliberately emphasized the word "only," making someone nearby feel embarrassed on the spot.
Cheng Yi turned around, her eyes reddening, tears clinging to her eyelashes. She looked incredibly pitiful, even Maya felt sorry for her. Her group of wealthy girlfriends immediately came to her side.
But she quickly regained her composure, forced a smile, and said, "Classmates from No. 1 High School, I told you long ago that you've misunderstood. I'm not Senior He Ning's sister."
The girls from No. 1 High School had made a blunder and, knowing they were embarrassed, were extremely indignant: "But when you called me, you clearly admitted that you were me."
If she hadn't been so certain at the time, they definitely wouldn't have dared to cause trouble at the banquet, making themselves a laughingstock for others.
