The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 357: Nie Chao has gone mad, you big shots can’t afford to climb up to his level [2 updates]

First to enter were several waiters.

They each carried over a dozen bags and, after strenuously placing them in the private room, left.

Jiang Ran’s body shivered just as he saw his cousin walking in.

She was a young girl, definitely not over twenty years old.

Her skin was extremely fair, with attractive almond-shaped eyes and long, delicate lashes.

It was a kind of appearance that made people comfortable.

Flowers buried in snow, a new moon casting a halo.

In today’s society, it’s rare to find such a flawless gaze.

Ying Zijin propped her chin, pensive.

How could such a girl make both Jiang Ran and Xiu Yu avoid her like the plague?

She rather liked her.

“Ahem, let me introduce you, this is my niece—” Ling Zhonglou cleared his throat, “Ling Mianxi. She’s about the same age as you, Zijin. Xiu Yu and Yunshen already know her, so I won’t reintroduce them.”

Nie Chao found it strange.

He didn’t know her. Why wasn’t he being introduced?

Ling Mianxi hugged Ling Zhonglou obediently, “Hello, Uncle.”

Then she went to hug Jiang Huaping, “Hello, Sister Huaping.”

Jiang Ran: “…”

He forgot.

Apart from Xiu Yu spoiling his mom, there was also Ling Mianxi.

After releasing Jiang Huaping, Ling Mianxi narrowed her eyes slightly and swept her gaze towards Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran clenched his fists, his instinct urging him to run.

But it was too late.

His cousin “swooshed” in front of him.

“Xiao Ranran has grown taller.” Ling Mianxi viciously rubbed his face into dough, “With this figure, these looks, you’ll definitely bring me a bunch of younger brothers and sisters.”

Jiang Ran’s face was expressionless, but he couldn’t resist and had to bear Ling Mianxi’s rough handling.

After Ling Mianxi was satisfied with her torment, she set her sights on Xiu Yu.

Xiu Yu felt a chill down his spine.

“Xiao Yuyu,” the next second, Ling Mianxi came over and also rubbed her face, “Xiao Yuyu, you’ve grown taller too.”

Xiu Yu kept a poker face and bit back a cold sneer, “Ling Mianxi, I’m older than you!”

By a tiny bit.

“All the same.” Ling Mianxi raised her hand, compared their heights, “Look, I’m just a tiny bit taller than you, and I’m not even wearing high heels yet.”

Xiu Yu: “…”

OK.

She is 1.7m, Ling Mianxi 1.73m; indeed, just a tiny bit taller.

Ying Zijin: “…”

She could roughly understand why Jiang Ran and Xiu Yu had such expressions.

Ying Zijin paused, trying to lower her presence.

But it was no use.

“Beauty!” Ling Mianxi’s eyes lit up as she embraced the girl and buried herself in her chest, “Support me please!”

Ying Zijin fell silent.

She had truly never encountered a “creature” like Ling Mianxi.

Fu Yunshen glanced at Ling Mianxi with a smile that was not quite a smile, his slightly curved peach blossom eyes carrying a strong warning, “Take your hands off.”

He hadn’t even hugged her, and there she was already tackling a hug. Ling Mianxi was truly something.

Ling Mianxi looked up reluctantly, but upon seeing that it was Fu Yunshen who spoke, she relented and withdrew her hands.

She glanced between the man and the girl, her expression serious, “I get it, you—”

Fu Yunshen spoke up, “And close your mouth too.”

“…”

Ling Mianxi immediately kept silent, her expression wistful, “Beauty, when he’s not around, we’ll discuss the philosophical meaning of life.”

After saying that, Ling Mianxi gave Fu Yunshen a wary look and walked around him.

Aside from Fu Yunshen, only Nie Chao had not been hugged yet.

Seeing Ling Mianxi approaching, Nie Chao cleared his throat and put on a serious expression, even tidying up his clothes.

In front of a beauty, he definitely had to make a good impression.

It had been a while since he had a girlfriend. Those little gold-diggers from minor clans and D-list actresses who were after his body had all been chased away by bodyguards sent by Old Master Nie.

He had almost forgotten what it felt like to talk with the opposite sex.

This girl had guts; she threw herself at the big boss. Maybe he stood a chance?

Nie Chao truly felt he should listen to his brother’s advice.

A girlfriend, one should raise one by himself.

At that moment, Ling Mianxi stopped in front of him.

Nie Chao was prepared, ready to win the beauty’s favor.

But before he could act, he heard three words that shattered him to the core.

Ling Mianxi said, “Call me big sister-in-law.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Inside the private room.

An eerie silence descended.

Jiang Ran’s chopsticks clattered onto the table once again.

He certainly knew who Nie Yi was.

Nie Yi was also a cultivator in the Ancient Martial World, with a not insignificant level of cultivation.

But who could tell him when Nie Yi got together with his devilish older cousin?

Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, “I was wondering, I asked him who his girlfriend was and he kept it a secret, turns out it’s you.”

It wasn’t completely incomprehensible.

But Nie Chao just lost it.

“Fuck!!!” Nie Chao let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, he plopped down on the ground, his expression could only be described as frantic, “You, you, you––”

Ling Mianxi saw his reaction, took out a mirror to check her reflection, “Do I look that scary?”

She leaned in closer, squatting down and patted Nie Chao’s face, “Really now, you and Little Yiyi share the same father and mother, how can there be such a big difference between you brothers?”

“Ah!!!” Another screech from Nie Chao, he scrambled backwards on all fours, desperate to get away, “Don’t come any closer, stay away!”

Ling Mianxi shrugged her shoulders and true to her word, didn’t come any closer, sitting down on the other side of Jiang Huaping instead.

Ling Zhonglou looked at her with a smile, “Got him in the end?”

Ling Mianxi cradled her chin in her hands, “Got him or not, I have to get him.”

Ling Zhonglou did not pursue further, “Everyone, start eating.”

In the Ancient Martial World, there’s no such thing as minors or adults.

As such, he would not interfere with the younger generation’s affairs.

Hearing that they could start eating, Jiang Ran instantly forgot the fear of being dominated by Ling Mianxi.

He picked up his chopsticks and began to load up his plate with lightning speed.

Nie Chao, shivering, crawled out of the private room to send a WeChat message to Nie Yi.

[Big bro, how old is my sister-in-law?]

There was no reply from the other side.

Nie Chao gritted his teeth and followed up with another message.

[You’re out of your mind, how can you be even more shameless than The Seventh Young Master? How old are you now? Twenty-seven, right? How old is that girl? Is she even 18? Don’t you know you’re robbing the cradle?]

This time, Nie Yi finally replied with a string of ellipses.

[…]

Nie Chao was even more infuriated and sent another message.

[I’m going to tell grandfather about this and let him discipline you. Such a nice young lady, now ruined by you.]

Right after he sent this message, a red exclamation mark popped up.

A window appeared below, kindly informing him—

[Nie Yi has enabled friend verification, you are not yet his/her friend. Please send a friend verification request first. After the other party approves it, you can chat. [Send Friend Verification]]

In an instant, Nie Chao felt completely done for.

Dejected, he returned to the private room, no longer having the energy to eat.

On the other hand, Jiang Ran was still eating happily.

Ling Zhonglou had come to Shanghai City this time specifically bringing ingredients that were beneficial for ancient martial artists to cultivate; even ordinary people could prolong their lives by eating them.

Nie Chao lay sprawled on the table, only wanting to cry.

But right at this moment, his head was patted.

Nie Chao looked up in a daze, only to meet Ling Mianxi’s “kind” gaze.

She placed a drumstick in his bowl, “There there, don’t be sad, your elder sister-in-law is giving you a drumstick.”

“…”

Meanwhile.

Mong Ru took Ying Yuexuan to a high-end western restaurant.

She had regained her original dignity and grace while also appearing quite unconcerned.

They were just two high school girls, too young to be afraid of tigers, daring to talk to her like that.

If it was one of those people who had stepped into the upper circles, how could they behave this way?

Ultimately, it’s ignorance that breeds courage.

Inside the western restaurant.

The professor from the Computer Science department of Imperial Capital University had already arrived.

It was not easy for Mong Ru to arrange this meeting, especially since the Yuan family didn’t have much interaction with the academic community.

The professor had come to Shanghai City on a business trip and had finally managed to spare this time.

“Hello, Professor Li,” Mong Ru handed over a gift, “This is the student I mentioned to you before.”

Ying Yuexuan also hurried to greet, “Professor Li.”

“Please have a seat,” Professor Li was very amiable, “Let’s have a meal first and then talk business afterward.”

Mong Ru nodded and summoned the waiter to order.

“Right now, there’s a real shortage of talent in the field of computer science,” Professor Li chatted with Mong Ru. “Just the last time, a distinguished professor from our department personally went to find a student, but sadly was rejected.”

Mong Ru was surprised, “Rejected? Who by?”

An honorary professor from Imperial Capital University, where each department might only have one, is a figure even the top major clans like the Mu family would respect.

And someone had refused?

No matter if they had refused or not, being personally invited by an honorary professor was something the Yuan family couldn’t hope to match.

“There’s nothing wrong with talking about it.” Professor Li smiled, “His name is Wen Tinglan, this year’s top scorer in the national college entrance exam, and also the top scorer in Shanghai City.”

“Clatter.”

Ying Yuexuan’s hand shook, and she dropped her chopsticks onto the floor.

Mong Ru looked over at her.
