The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 104

Wang Boqi's thoughts turned to Jing Yi, the one who had ruined the entire plan, and his teeth clenched with hatred, his eyes filled with a fierce glare.

"I've already investigated thoroughly. Although Jing Yi grew up abroad, she has always known her true identity and the status of the Jing family," Wang Boqi said, his voice dripping with venom. "That means she fully understands what it means to be the 'daughter of the Jing family.'"

He continued, "She majored in finance in university and maintained excellent grades for the first three years, all with the aim of better integrating into Hengjing. So she's not as simple as she appears on the surface."

Wang Boqi had also sent people to investigate Jing Yi's peers. From their accounts, she was portrayed as an arrogant and self-important individual who would never be content with just being a 'fake heiress.'

Wang Boqi had watched the Jing family's live streams and read the trending topics online, aware of the positive public perception of the Jing family, and even Jing Yi herself.

If not for his investigation into Jing Yi's life abroad, even Wang Boqi might have believed that Jing Yi had no ulterior motives towards the Jing family.

Wang He pondered, "But they say the two daughters of the Jing family get along very well." Wang Boqi scoffed disdainfully, "That's just a tactic to garner goodwill and favorable impressions."

She naturally knew that the Jing family wouldn't be so easily swayed.

"So what are you planning to do?" Wang He was more concerned about Wang Boqi's next move.

Wang Boqi's eyes were like a dark, icy pond, radiating a bone-chilling coldness. "Now she's become the savior of the Jing family, and the Jing family naturally trusts her. So I'll target her!"

A mere woman, he could win her over with just a snap of his fingers, especially one as vain as her. Just like Jiang Miaomiao.

Speaking of Jiang Miaomiao, after she was arrested, Wang Boqi had specially sent someone to investigate. It was fortunate she had taken the blame for everything herself, saving him the trouble.

Wang He looked up at Wang Boqi, indifferent to whatever methods his son would use. "I hope you won't disappoint me this time." Wang Boqi nodded slightly, regaining his previous respectful demeanor. "Don't worry, this time I absolutely won't let you down!"

Meanwhile, in the office of Huarui Group

A knock sounded at the door, and before Shen Huaichu could respond, Gu Lin had already pushed it open and entered.

"Brother," Gu Lin greeted.

Shen Huaichu didn't even lift his head. "What is it?" Gu Lin seemed accustomed to Shen Huaichu's coldness and didn't mind as he sat down on the sofa.

"Can't I come see you if I don't have anything to say?"

Shen Huaichu finally paused his work and looked up at Gu Lin. "If you're bored, I can tell Auntie to let you come to Huarui for some training."

Gu Lin immediately straightened up. "I was wrong, I actually have something to tell you." He didn't even want to go to his family's company, let alone work under his brother's watchful eye at Huarui, where it would undoubtedly be more strenuous!

Shen Huaichu silently watched him, ready to listen to what he had to say.

Gu Lin moved to sit in front of Shen Huaichu's desk, leaning in with a mysterious expression. "Brother, do you know that Jiang Miaomiao got arrested?"

Shen Huaichu glanced at him indifferently. "Who's Jiang Miaomiao?" Gu Lin realized his brother didn't follow the entertainment industry.

Gu Lin explained, "She's the queen of 'Startrack,' Jing Zeqian's company's top star, Jiang Miaomiao!"

Entertainment industry stuff?

Shen Huaichu frowned slightly. "I'm busy." Gu Lin gave him a helpless look. "I know! Just listen to me!"

Who Jiang Miaomiao was or her arrest didn't matter. What was important was that it involved the Jing family.

"Although the Jing family hasn't made any moves yet, I heard it's because she drugged Jing Zeqian and got caught."

Gu Lin feared Shen Huaichu would lose patience, so he simplified the whole story. He had originally wanted to chat more with his brother.

But even with the shortened version, Shen Huaichu still seemed impatient, lowering his head to continue his work.

He was signaling to Gu Lin with his actions: he really wasn't interested, and Gu Lin had already wasted a good fifteen seconds of his time.

Gu Lin insisted, "It's Jing Zeqian, Jing Yi's second brother, Jing Zeqian!" Shen Huaichu asked coldly, "So?"

Gu Lin widened his eyes, surprised that it hadn't caught his brother's interest. It seemed he had to pull out the big guns. "Apparently, it was because of Jing Yi that Jing Zeqian escaped this disaster." Shen Huaichu's movements halted.

Gu Lin's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. He knew his brother would be interested in this news.

But the next moment, Shen Huaichu resumed his work and coldly said, "You wasted five minutes of my time just to tell me such a worthless piece of news?"

Before Gu Lin could bask in his triumph for long, he was deflated by Shen Huaichu. "Aren't you interested? I thought you'd want to know about Jing Yi."

Shen Huaichu looked at Gu Lin, his expression unchanging. "That's just your assumption. I've never said that." Gu Lin seemed to understand Shen Huaichu's meaning and obediently shut his mouth.

After a moment, he sneakily glanced over. To be honest, he didn't believe what his brother said; it was just stubbornness.

"Is that all you had to say?" Shen Huaichu was already hinting at him to leave.

Gu Lin sighed. Although he knew his brother's temperament, he still felt a bit frustrated at times.

Gu Lin decided to finish what he had to say, or else it would bother him.

"I heard Jiang Miaomiao had prepared a banquet to poison Jing Zeqian, but Jing Yi happened to catch her in the act and disrupted it. The siblings had a huge argument at the banquet, and only then was the illegal substance discovered."

Shen Huaichu's pupils slightly contracted, but he quickly masked his emotions.

Gu Lin pressed on, "Brother, what do you think about that?" Shen Huaichu's lips curled into a mocking smile. "My feeling is that she really likes to meddle in other people's business."

Back then, she had swung her fists around like a heroine.

Thinking of this, Shen Huaichu's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, but he quickly regained his indifferent expression.

Gu Lin looked at him strangely. What did that mean?

Shen Huaichu glanced at the person in front of him. "Anything else?" Gu Lin shrugged. Alright, he had said what he needed to say and could leave now.

As Gu Lin got up to leave, he suddenly remembered the task his mother had given him. He leaned against the doorframe, poking his head in. "Brother, one more thing."

Shen Huaichu lifted an eyebrow and looked at him. Gu Lin quickly said, "Your aunt mentioned there's a charity auction tomorrow, and there's a piece of art she really likes. She wants you to bid on it for her. That's all, goodbye!"

With that, Gu Lin quickly closed the door and left, afraid to waste even a second.

After Gu Lin left, Shen Huaichu leaned back in his chair, his eyes half-closed, and softly said, "Why do you always like to meddle in other people's affairs, little porcupine?"
